Flowery - Jinkook

#9 - Sour

Jungkook quickly covered himself and lean against the side table furniture. Seokjin sensing that it is now safe, open his right eye and when he saw the intense eyes of Jungkook, he opened both of his eyes and grinned. Seokjin dislike being in an awkward situation so he has tendency to diffuse by making light humour out of the situation he is stuck with.

Jin: Come on, there's nothing to be flustered about~ We literally have the same you know~ You, me, we're the same~

JK: Pfft. We may have the same thing, but we're definitely not the same.

Jin: What do you mean? We're both guys~ Isn't it normal? I mean if you go to public toilet there's plenty out in display! Hahas.

JK: Of course. You'll be overjoyed seeing all those. How can I forget.

Jin: Forget about what?

JK: You're gay! Hahas. What else?

Jin: And so?

JK: Don't try to give me that innocent act. Of course you'll be thrilled at any given opportunity. It's in your nature!

Jin: What are you implying?

JK: Come on. You being here, says a lot. Why would you even sleep on my bed? You're such an opportunist that I should be wary about. You never know what's in that mind of yours. Hah!

Seokjin heart beats fast out of frustration after hearing Jungkook's remarks. Then again that's how majority of his male friends perception of him. Partly the reason why he only had a handful of genuine male friends. Honestly, this remarks was not something new. He had heard it over a hundred times. It didn't affected him that much, but this time he was just disappointed. Jeon Jungkook was the same as others. Seokjin had his own pride and he doesn't want to falter in front of Jungkook. He turns around and picked up all his sketches, belongings and left.

Jungkook was left stunned alone in his room. It was the first time Seokjin didn't rebut to whatever he said and he looks vulnerable. Shit. He hit his head against the mattress, realising his words had hurt a person deeply. Why he always had to say the wrong things. 

The front bell rang and Jungkook quickly put on his hoodie and shorts before tending the door. It was the food delivery guy along with packets of hot meals. He saw the receipt and it was ordered by his mother.

JK Mom: Hey, Kookie. You finally called! Are you feeling better now?

JK: Hmm... yeah. I was caught in the rain yesterday. Sorry missed your messages and calls.

JK Mom: There's nothing to be sorry about. You're literally unwell. I'm just glad that you're fine. We're so worried about you. Especially when we're miles away.

JK: I know you're worried, but you didn't have to buy me lots of food.

JK Mom: Oh! It arrived! Thank goodness. Please eat it while it's warm and do share it with Jinnie.

JK: Jinnie?

JK Mom: Yes he is such a darling. We're thankful he's there to check in on you. He even update us on your well-being every now and then just to assure us. Is he there?

JK: He was. But he went back to his apartment.

JK Mom: I'm not sure if he had eaten yesterday. Even if he's tired, please make sure he eats a little bit. He must be exhausted staying up all night. 

JK: Hmm...

JK Mom: Kookie?

JK: Hmm?

JK Mom: Please be nice to Jinnie?

JK: Kay...

JK Mom: Eat well, son. Grandma seems to be doing well, so we might be home tomorrow.

JK: Send my hugs and kisses to Grandma. Tell her I miss her.

JK Mom: Will do, bye love~

Jungkook hung up the phone. He is screwed. He groaned in frustration. He knew his stinky mouth will get him to trouble someday. He sucks at doing recovery work. He decided he needs to take a shower and calm himself down, also probably trying to find ways to salvage the situation while at it. 

He puts on his clean hoodie, trousers, style his hair nicely and dab some of his cologne. He now looks presentable. He heated up the meals again then pour it in a nice plating. He then searched high and low for that flower design tray since he noticed Seokjin likes all things floral. When he finds it, he wiped to ensure there's no dusts. Then he placed all the main dishes and soup bowl on top of it. Now he just needs to deliver it. Oh wait. Where does he stay again? 

JK: Mom?

JK Mom: Kookie? Is there anything wrong?

JK: Uh... Where should I deliver Jin's meal to?

JK Mom: What do you mean? He stays right next to our apartment!

JK: Ah. Okay. Thanks mom. See you tomorrow!

JK Mom: Hwaiting~

JK: I guess? Bye~

Jungkook took a deep breath as he stood outside Seokjin's apartment. What needs to be done, needs to be done. With much care, he turns sideway so he could use his elbow to hit the door bell. He pressed once. No answer. He waited for ten seconds before he pressed another time. Still no answer. He then kept elbowing the door bell, and it was then the door is opened. 

JK: Who are you?

???: Excuse me? You came here, impatiently pressing the bell many times and you're asking who am I?

JK: This is Jin's house. Who are you?

???: You- You know what. I'm Jimin. You are-

JK: Ah. You're Taehyung's cousin.

Jimin: I guess you're Tae-tae's friend. Oh! Are you here for another date with Jinnie? 

JK: I-

Jin: JK. What do you want?

Jungkook working up his weird smile as he sees Seokjin in his gothic floral pyjamas. That's the darkest outfit he'd ever seen Seokjin wearing in his few encounters. Then again he needs to mend his relationship. Neighbour kind relationship? After all they are literally bound to see one another be it at home or school or even in the elevator!

JK: I brought food! 

Jungkook's intonation was just so weird that Jimin was trying hard to hold his laughter.

Jin: Jimin just nice you're asking for food. You can eat that.

JK: No!

Jimin: Strong objection there~ 

JK: I mean this food was meant for Jin. 

Jimin: Don't worry~ I can buy my own~

Jin: Fine. I'll take this then. Anything else?

Jimin: Ooo~ Feisty~

JK: No. That's all. Have a good meal.

Jin: Hmm. Bye.

Seokjin was trying to close the door when Jungkook abruptly apologised.

JK: I'm sorry! I didn't mean what I said! I'm really sorry!

Jimin: Interesting~

Jin: Jimin?

Jimin: Yes? Jinnie~

Jin: You can have the meal.

Seokjin opened the door, brushed through Jungkook and went into the elevator. Jungkook with his round eyes, looked at Jimin as he was lost. Jimin gave him a wink and smug expression making him even lost. He doesn't know what to do.

Jin: Are you going to just stand there or what?

Jungkook gave a slight bow to Jimin before he rushed in to catch on Seokjin. Damn. He is dead.
