A GUIDE TO DATING MIN YOONGI

Lesson 3: Denial

I knock on Jungkook's new house door for the second time but still there's no answer from within.
He's definitely hungover and still asleep, it is still 9am after all.
"Jungkook! I'm coming in!" I yell in between the wedge of the door and wall. Next to his door was some potted plants where I dug out his spare key from under a fake tomato sprout. I'm the only one he trusts with the spare key and I feel so powerful whenever I have to whip it out.
I unlock the door and turn the corner to his bedroom.
The boy's body was barely draped onto the bed with his leg and arm hanging off the side. He was face down onto the bed which would probably give Jungkook a heart attack since he cared so deeply about getting wrinkles and acne. He still wore his shirt from last night but it seemed like he struggled to take off his pants and gave up before crashing into a slumber.
I sat down onto the edge of the bed and continued to hit his back to wake him.
He groaned, "Jimin...? Is that you?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna go make some hangover soup for us." I said and headed for the kitchen.
"Good idea..." he mumbled before falling asleep again.

"How's the soup?" I asked as Jungkook used the soup to help swallow down an ibuprofen for his headache.
"I was fucking starving so it tastes amazing." He said as he gave up on spooning the liquid and just grabbed the bowl and poured it into his mouth.
"Anyways," he said after he downed a whole bowl and was getting up for another, "where did you go last night? I was pretty worried and then this random guy called me telling me you were too drunk so he was going to bring you home."
I held my head on my hands and sighed, "That's what I came here to tell you about."
I told him the story of how I ended up in Yoongi's bed but conveniently skipped past the part where I kissed and almost had sex with him.
"Did you guys fuck?!" He yelled after the exposé.
I felt ears burn up, "No! Of course not!"
He pointed his spoon at me, "So nothing happened between you two?"
I nodded but he clicked his tongue, "No way. No one brings someone home just to let them sleep. Are you sure you guys didn't...?" He used his hands to demonstrate a motion. His index finger went in and out of a circle made from the finger of his other hand and he gestured it towards me.
"Nothing happened! I would never forgive myself if I had sex with a one night stand."
He eyed me suspiciously but continued with his soup.
"But he did want me to be his fake boyfriend though." I mentioned.
"Fake boyfriend?" He asked with a chuckle, "what does that mean?"
"I don't know but he tried threatening me but it's such a bluff it's laughable."
"Threats? What does he have on you?"
"He knows I'm gay."
"So something did happen! It's okay Jimin, you can tell me."
I pushed his arm which caused him to spill some liquid.
"Shut up, nothing happened." I pretend to not notice him giving me a face.
"Wait what was his name again? Yunki?" He pulled out his phone.
"Min Yoongi." I corrected.
"Oh shit. Dude, he's filthy fucking rich." He continued to scroll on his phone with awe.
"How rich?" I asked. He couldn't have possibly be that rich.
"Well his dad is the CEO of just a teeny tiny little company called Silver."
I almost dropped my spoon.
"Silver?!" I yelled and he told me to shush. "Silver? Like the company that's growing to becoming a top tech company? That Silver?"
He slowly nods and I shake my head, maybe I should've taken his offer.
"Shit, maybe you should've taken his offer." Jungkook said as if he'd read my mind. "Guess how much he's gonna inherit?"
I think about it for a second, "a billion?"
"2.5 billion." He said with a straight face. "Man, you could've been one hell of a sugar baby."
"He's trying to drop that position though." I reminded him as I got up to put my dish in the sink.
"He's willing to risk 2.5 billion dollars? That's fucking wild. I would bag that shit in an instant."
He continued to scroll on his phone while I washed the dishes.
"Why was this rich guy at a random cheap club?" Jungkook asked.
"Don't ask me, I wouldn't know."
Jungkook continued to ramble about Yoongi and his family background while I cleaned his house. I'm not a tidy person but Jungkook lives like a sewer rat sometimes so I come by to help him from time to time.
It was strange just learning about Yoongi after I've already kissed him. Intimately. It felt more like I was researching a celebrity instead of a guy I met yesterday.
Rich or poor, I didn't want to be anyone's boyfriend, especially of one who tried to threaten me.
