The New Boy

The morning after

Jimin woke first to find himself sprawled across Jungkook. He grinned then frowned,what now,was he supposed to stay?or leave a note and go?
He peeled himself off the muscled body,Jungkook grunted then turned on his side.
Jimin slipped back to the room across the hall using the bathroom fascilities then coming out.
He wandered to Jungkooks closet finding plenty of long T shirts ,slipping one off the hanger he put it on feeling less conspicuous.
He stripped the bedding off and wandered downstairs to find the laundry room.
There he found his clothes on an airer drying,the jeans were still damp but his boxers were dry so he put them on.
Loading the bedding into the machine he turned it on, he pulled his jeans from the airer and put them into the dryer to finish drying then he took his top and carried it through to a sitting room while he waited for his jeans.
He felt thirsty so he found the kitchen gulping down water and although he felt hungry he didn't want to make himself at home and eat.
He remembered he needed to do shopping his food stock was virtually nil.
He sat in the quiet sitting room hoping his jeans would be done soon.
"Why are you sitting here?"
Jimin yelped as Jungkook came up behind him.
"Shit you nearly gave me a heart attack!"
Jungkook came and squatted in front of him,
"So why are you up and looking like you're ready to run?"
"I...I...well...erm,I'm waiting for my jeans to dry so I can leave you in peace..."
"Did I say you should go?"
"Well no...but...well it's not like you invited me here either....I apologise for calling you out it was dumb of me to get so drunk...."
"So why were you?"
"I um hadn't eaten and.....well...."
"Why didn't you eat? Did you have lunch at work?"
Jimin fidgeted then shook his head.
"Damn it Jimin what's wrong with you,come on I'll make breakfast."
He pulled Jimin with him to the kitchen pushing him onto a seat while he moved around collecting things and cooking the smell making Jimin's stomach rumble.
"Here...eat...."
They both sat and ate Jimin moaning and closing his eyes as his tastebuds exploded eating the delicious food.
Jungkook stared at the beautiful male his moans making his pants twitch.
"In future eat before you drink," he grumbled at the other.
"I would but I haven't been shopping so apart from bottled water and one egg I have nothing,"
Jungkook stared in surprise at the other.
"But your so organised?"
"In work yeah but home...I'm a bit sloppy."
"I'll take you shopping when we have eaten."
"What?..no I can go on my own.."
"I insist..." Jungkook said in a tone that suggested Jimin didn't argue.
After clearing up Jimin went and put his jeans on and then put Jungkooks t shirt in the laundry and picked his top up from the sitting room pulling it on.
"Nice tattoo," Jungkook murmured as Jimin pulled his top down ," any reason for the words?"
Jimin shrugged how could he tell the other he'd had it done after a particularly spiteful argument from his parents where they had told him his lifestyle choice brought dishonour to their family and he was never to show up at their home with a boyfriend...oh and by the way his brother needed money for new clothes and a laptop,so he should give it to him as he couldn't expect his parents to do it they couldn't possibly work full time and look after a home and his brother.
When Jimin politely told them his brother wasn't allowed to have a laptop due to his bail conditions he got told that it was his fault his brother had tried to make easy money by scamming others as if Jimin was more forthcoming with money his brother wouldn't be struck down with restrictions to his lifestyle .
Of course Jimin retaliated by saying his brother was a criminal just in it for easy money rather than get a proper job and that his learned behaviour came from parents who worked as and when they wanted.
The punch his father gave him for telling the truth had split his lip and he'd left the house refusing to help for months,only to be dragged back into it all when his mother had shown up at his door waving an eviction notice from their landlord if back rent wasn't paid within one week,she had threatened to move them all in with Jimin so of course he spent his savings on getting them out of trouble having to move so they wouldn't threaten him again.
Now he visited rarely hating the toxic atmosphere.
His tattoo words 'never mind' was to remind himself that he didn't have to listen to their abuse about him, that he could always walk away.
"Jimin?"
"Huh...oh the words er just to remind me that I shouldn't let things get too me..."
Jungkook frowned sure the other was hiding something,but he let him be.
"Got everything? Let's go..."
Jimin directed him to a shop near his small apartment .
"It's ok you don't have to stay I live near..."
"Stop talking and shop...."
Jimin picked a basket up which Jungkook took off him and exchanged for a trolley.
"Fill it up at least I will know your eating,"
Jimin huffed picking a few things here and there until Jungkook sighed and walked around the aisles himself putting things in.
"I don't need all that! I work to a budget this is like four times what I would spend!"
"Are you kidding? Don't we pay you enough?"
"Of course you do but I'm trying to build my savings back up," Jimin let slip then realised...." I-I mean who knows when you might have a surprise expense?"
"Well you've been working a few years I'm sure you have savings..." Jungkook said ," anyway this is my treat...your my staff."
That comment although meaning to be nice made Jimin realise that was the truth despite last nights little dalliance.
"Right staff,don't worry I'll make sure my bad housekeeping doesn't affect my work..."
He pushed the trolley to the paydesk.,bagging it up as it was passed through his face shocked at the total,he went to get his wallet but Jungkook passed his card over then picked up all the bags and walked to his car.
"Which way?"
Jimin directed him to the four storey narrow building,it was non descript but clean.
Jungkook got out but Jimin tried to stall him.
It's fine I can carry the bags.
"Which floor?"
"It's the top there's no lift so I'll take them."
Jungkook ignored him and went in taking the stairs on the fourth floor he looked at the two doors raising his brow at Jimin.
"Erm not here...the attic..."
He walked down the hall turning at the opening and going up narrow stairs to a door he unlocked.
He glanced around quickly glad to see his place wasn't messy but he could see the apartment for what it was through Jungkooks eyes.
Jungkook didn't say a word just took the stuff to the kitchen counter and unloaded opening cupboards and the fridge.
"Jesus you weren't kidding when you said you needed to shop!"
"Fasting now and then is good for the body,"
"Under eating isn't ,I notice you don't always take a lunch break either."
Jimin was surprised the other had noticed,it was true if he was busy he saw no reason to stop,plus maybe the numerous times his parents in front of others had called him the chubby one compared to their golden child .
"Don't want to get fat.."
"From what I saw no chance of that,"
Jimin actually blushed as Jungkook looked him over from head to toe.
"Your blushing..?after what we did?"
"Look I know it may be common for you but I...well it's been a while and probably will be again I don't have time for relationships."
"Relationships no...fun...destressing...yeh!"Jungkook said walking up to Jimin and clasping his chin,
"Your quite responsive aren't you,we can maybe continue hooking up now and then...you know friends with benefits?"
"But you're my boss...not my friend,it's not right,"
"Well maybe you should try harder to be my friend as I regard you as someone I want to know."
His mouth silenced Jimin's denial then he waved goodbye and left.
Jimin felt confused,yes the sex had been great but look at their differences, he had a totally different lifestyle to Jungkook,his brother was a criminal to which his parents were in denial,he bumped up his savings doing the occasional singing gig in an old friends club and the only thing he did otherwise was dance classes,which reminded him he needed to look for somewhere he couldn't continually use the company studio.
Jimin sighed then decided to do his laundry and get his clothes ready for the week.
He cleaned his apartment until it sparkled then decided to go for a walk in a nearby park it wasn't often he went out in the fresh air.
Jungkook sat on his sofa deep in thought. His mind ran back to the sex he'd had and Jimins enticing moans. He knew for a fact that Jimin was a good lover so why wasn't he involved with anyone? Why did he seem to tell half truths...the tattoo,the food and why on the money they paid him was he living in that tiny apartment stuck in the roof with only skylights for windows?
Picking his phone up he pressed a number,
"Hi,I want you to do a full background check on a Park Jimin who's recently been employed by us...no ,a deep check not a cursory one,I want to know everything,friends,family money situation etc...as soon as possible...thank you,goodbye."
Clicking the phone off he sighed," let's see who you really are Jimin....can I trust you?"
