It infuriates Seokjin, how Jungkook brushes his arm against his as they walk back to the car, and it infuriates him even more when Jungkook places his arm on the console just so he can press his fingertips lightly against Seokjin's forearm and caress his skin.

Even worse—Jungkook opens Seokjin's car door for him and as they walk back into the apartment building, he brushes his arm against his again just to ease his hand down and slip his fingers between Seokjin's. Seokjin turns his head away, clenching his jaw to try and suppress the heat in his cheeks.

"What are you doing?" he questions as their fingers intertwine. Jungkook grins.

"Holding your hand."

Their scents mix together, creating something that resembles fresh grapes off a vine or sweet berries in Jungkook's forest. Seokjin tries to keep his scent calm and collected. He squeezes Jungkook's warm hand.

"I don't know who you think you are," he says, but Jungkook just smiles because the omega isn't pulling away despite his scowl.

"Let me take you to your place," Jungkook suggests, smiling cheekily as they go through the elevator doors. Seokjin is about to fall apart because of the way Jungkook pulls their hands towards him and plays with them, caressing Seokjin's fingers gently.

"Whatever."

When they get to Seokjin's floor, Jungkook follows with his hand being tugged. Seokjin's apartment is towards the end of the hall, but it doesn't take long to get to his door.

"We're here," he tells the alpha. Jungkook's bunny ears flop down onto his head and he gives Seokjin puppy eyes. "Let me go."

Jungkook tugs his hand forward, making Seokjin step into his bubble. They're close enough that Seokjin gets lost in his scent.

"You aren't inviting me in, omega?"

Seokjin feels dizzy; he feels lightheaded. Jungkook is too close, his hand is too warm, his scent is too much to bear. And his eyes are set on Seokjin's lips, clearly wanting to break the small barrier between them, but even though Seokjin glances down at his lips as well, he catches his breath and pulls away. He has to remind himself many times: This is not a real date. He doesn't like you.

"Jungkook-ah." He lets go of the alpha's hand and sighs because Jungkook's shoulders fall in disappointment. "Thanks for the food. I'm sorry we couldn't find a cure, but I'll keep looking tonight. You should go home."

He plans on researching the hell out of that failed potion tonight and he will find out what went wrong. If he doesn't, he might just go crazy with Jungkook's love and affection.

Jungkook's sad little pout makes it worse. But that's the exact reason why he must cure this man as soon as possible—he doesn't want to feel bad for Jungkook and himself too.

"Don't worry," he says, "as soon as we reverse the potion, you won't be so sad by my rejections. I promise. Just go home."

Jungkook doesn't seem convinced at all.

"Okay..." Jungkook lifts his hand, gently petting Seokjin's hair right where his hamster ears stick out, and they twitch involuntarily. "I'll see you later, cutie." He definitely sounds sad.

Seokjin definitely needs to find that cure.
