Flowery - Jinkook

#19 - Project

Jungkook laid in bed as he was done for the day. Campus life and trainings were definitely hectic. After dinner, he told his parents he is going to knock off early. He decided to procrastinate his assignment for another day. He still has plenty of time till the dateline. He connected his playlist to his speaker with RnB songs in the background to get him in the mood to sleep. His eyes slowly get heavy and he fully closed in, succumbing to his exhaustion. Not for long, as he groaned when his mobile phone vibrated indicating he received a message. Jungkook peeked slightly to see who's the sender and clicked the message. Instead of replying to the message, he called the sender.

JK: Why do you need it for?

Jin: For your pay. Duh! What else? Why can't you just message me back?

JK: You're not the HR. Why should I give it to you?

Jin: Fine. You won't get paid then.

JK: I'll write an online post of Flowery not paying their employees.

Jin: I'll tell them the person who posted refuse to provide the account number.

JK: Let's trade then.

Jin: What's there to trade?

JK: Since I'm entrusting you with my personal information. You need to also provide me your personal information.

Jin: Right. So what do you want to know?

JK: What's your apartment passcode number?

Jin: I'm not telling you that?

JK: Why not? Let's say there's emergency or if you're unwell, how are we supposed to help you?

Jin: Are you cursing me?

JK: I'm doing prevention work. Don't you know in engineering, we were always taught-

Jin: Fine. 0412. So can you send me the details?

JK: I'll text you then. Bye!

Jennie and Jeonghan were watching their movie of their choice in the comfort of their couch in the living room. Their movie night were disrupted when they heard the sound of movement and became startled seeing Jungkook in his hoodie while carrying his laptop out of his room.

JK Dad: I thought you want to sleep in?

JK: I forgot I've got a dateline to meet. So I'm going out to complete my project.

JK Mom: Where you going to? Who are you meeting with?

JK: Ah-

JK Dad: Don't go home too late, you still have school tomorrow.

JK: Will do! Don't worry, now is 8pm. I'll be back by 11pm! Bye~

Jeonghan pulls his wife in when Jungkook left, knowing very well how she intends to peek at their son's whereabouts.

JK Dad: Let's continue watching, shall we?

JK Mom: Why did you cut him off? 

JK Dad: He's already an adult. Let him be.

JK Mom: Hmm... Do you think Kookie has a partner?

JK Dad: Not yet. I think he's trying.

JK Mom: Must be Jiwonie... There goes my hope for Jinnie...

Jungkook happily strolled in and he mischievously grins at the sight he sees. He got used to see Seokjin in his comfy era with his thick specs, white oversized shirt holding a cream puff in hand and...

JK: Ooo... I guess I won't be getting back my shorts anytime. It's okay nerdy, my next match in two weeks time.

Seokjin was still too stunned or embarrassed to speak or move, so Jungkook walked closer towards Seokjin and with his bunny smile, he reached out his hand to clear the cream and crumbs that sticks at the side of Seokjin's lips. He then licked his thumb and walks over to Seokjin's work desk.

Seokjin blinked hard and pinched his thigh. This was definitely not a dream. Why the heck is then Jungkook roaming in his house freely at this hour? He regretted his decision of giving Jungkook his passcode. Now he needs to put a mental reminder NOT to wear Jungkook's shorts anymore. Gosh. That was so embarrassing!!!

JK: Are you slacking off over there? Come back to work here. I need to see the edit.

Jin: Excuse me. Are you my boss or what? And why are you intruding my space?

JK: We're work buddies. I'm here to supervise you and keep you in track to make sure your work is done, also giving you moral support.

Jin: Wow. Which part is the moral support? Hey! That's my cream puffs!

JK: Fine. I'll put it back. Now come here and explain why am I not in the website. There's other models uploaded here. Am I being cut?

Jin: No you're not. Move. That's not the main page.

JK: Wait. Shut up. You're telling me, I'm going to be featured on the main page?

Seokjin clicked the drafted main webpage design and there, Jungkook's very own lookbook was displayed in a style in sync with the current trend. Jungkook stood in awe. He must admit, Seokjin has skills. 

JK: You're good. 

Jin: Thank you. You're good too.

JK: It's all you. You made it work. So when is this going to be released?

Jin: Friday night is the launch. 

JK: Have your boss seen this? Is he or she okay with it?

Jin: Yeah pretty much okay. It's a he, fyi.

JK: Cool. Oh! I think you should show boss your sketches! Who knows he will incorporate your design for the next launch? I mean... Mom said you're talented. Who knows?

Jin: Geez. Thanks... You're being nice to me today... Weird.

JK: I'm always nice. See the fact that I gave you this shorts. Says a lot. It's comfy, eh?

Jin: Gosh. I just took-

JK: It's okay. You can keep it. Just promise me you'll be there for my next match.

Jin: I'll return to you soon. Not that I don't want to watch, but what if I can't make it. You know, life is unpredictable.

JK: Yeah whatever suits you. Anyway, here's my account number. It's getting late already, I need to go. I'll see you on Friday night. Bye~

Seokjin stared at his door after Jungkook left. Something doesn't feel right.

Jin: Was he upset? Maybe he's tired. Else why would he still plan to meet me if he's upset? Speaking of which I need to wash this shorts and return to him on Friday. I need to paste post-it notes in fridge as reminders!

Post-it note: Stop wearing his shorts and get a hold of yourself, Seokjinnie! He is straight!!!
