Eyes on you

Explore possibilities

Jimin once dressed found his way to the sitting room.Jungkook came in minutes later to see Jimin examining his artwork on the walls.
Embaressed by his unexpected flashing,Jimin tried for a nonchalance .
"These paintings are good who is the artist?"
"Me....I dabble now and then"
"Really? You're very good...is landscapes your favourite?"
"I paint people too,why you want to be my model?"
"Huh funny,I'm not even photogenic so a painting wouldn't look good!"
"From what I've seen of you , there's plenty that would catch the eye," Jungkook smirked causing Jimin to blush.
"Erm.....I hope you are keeping receipts these clothes seem very luxurious?"
"Can you not accept things without bringing it down to monetary value?" Jungkook rebuked.
"I...I'm sorry......I just.......lets just say I was reminded most days when I was young that money spent on me was money that they could have had and didn't ....."
"Your parents? But that's their job to care for you?"
"They didn't see it that way...,I was a burden and when they found out I was gay it was the last straw they kicked me out and kept my savings from my part time job."
"I don't understand it,how can you disown your child because of his sexual preferences,we are not in the dark ages surely they must have guessed when you brought boyfriends home?"
Jimin turned away pretending to look at the books on the shelves not eager for this line of questioning to continue.
"Do you get time to read much?"
Jungkook studied him wondering at his change of subject"
"Now and then ,I keep a good work and free time ratio,no point having money if I can't enjoy it.."
"The motel why did you buy it?"
"It's in a prime location but sadly not in the best state for a hotel in that area,the previous owners let it go a bit...don't get me wrong I haven't put your housemates into a dilapidated pit,it's just that the area around has been revamped and the motel is in a bit of a time warp ,it will be knocked down and rebuilt to suit the scenery."
"Wow...,you certainly seem to diversify,"
"Not really,I turn things around keep businesses going sometimes buy places to revamp or to redo entirely,I was born in the area so want it to grow as I have."
"Well those people will certainly appreciate it while they wait for assistance,I'm sure the landlords insurance will pay out.I can get out of your hair tomorrow,I'll go there until I find a place."
"No,"
"Pardon?"
"I said no,you stay here while you're supposed to be resting...so I can keep an eye on you."
"Don't be silly why would you take a perfect stranger in?"
Jungkook stood in front of him," because you intrigue me....I find I want to get to know you better....."
Jimin looked up into his face gulping as he saw a fire blazing in his eyes not stopping him when the other leaned in to kiss him slowly.
He felt a tingle run up his spine as Jungkook lightly held his waist but deepened the kiss.
Not accustomed to this Jimin stepped back a little.
"Why do you do that?"
"What?....kiss you.....I'm sure your used to it you have very kissable lips.....don't your boyfriends tell you?"
Jimin decided honesty was the best policy.
"I haven't had a boyfriend...." He mumbled.
"You haven't .....are you saying....your a virgin ! "
Jungkook took a step back to stare at the other in surprise .
Flustered now Jimin turned away," it's not like it's a disease no need to sound so surprised you won't catch anything!"
He suddenly found himself in a back hug Jungkooks lips on his ear.
"Do you know how much I want to take you to bed right now,your confession has made me want to explore this with you..."
"I'm sure someone like you would be woefully disappointed with an inexperienced nobody like me"
He was spun around," don't put yourself down....I can't believe your lack of confidence!"
Jimins stomach chose that moment to gurgle loudly.
"Oops! Sorry!" Jimin wrapped his arms across his tummy in the hope of quelling the sound.
Jungkook sighed then turned to the kitchen,
"I'll make us some food go sit down watch tv or something..."
Jimin flicked through channels until he came to one on pop videos ,before long he was humming along to one of his favourites then standing dancing to it singing along unaware of being watched.
Jungkook was mesmerised by him,his body dipped and swayed and his voice was perfect. Then suddenly he stopped swaying slightly and sitting down quickly which is when Jungkook stepped in saying rather sharply,
"You call this resting,your your own worst enemy !"
Jimin lowered his head and nervously played with his fingers .
Jungkook felt bad like he'd admonished a scared child.
"Come to the kitchen and eat the foods ready."
Soon both were seated and Jungkook encouraged the other to help himself which he did but took only small portions.
"This is delicious is there anything you're not good at???"
Jungkook smiled at Jimin's praise," I'd believe you if you took more than a sparrow would eat?"
"I just erm ,I thought I was getting fat so I've been dieting," he lied a fake smile on his face.
"Your an awful liar ,"
Jimin blushed.
"Ok so maybe my meals have been a bit haphazard ,I had an unexpected bill that needed to be paid."
Jungkook frowned at him then changed the subject.
"I was talking to Hobi earlier he was telling me about his planned expansion."
"Yes,he's turned down a lot of interested people in fact one guy from some music industry that he knows said he should choreograph music videos ....that would be exciting...Hobi would be so good at that...."
"From what he says so would you,he is a fan of yours."
"Nobody is as good as Hobi,"
"It sounds like there's a lot of talent but not the room to grow it?"
"Thats about right.........Hobi has done so well I hope his dream comes true soon."
Jimin sat back not realising he'd been eating in between talking.
"I'm full thank you for the food,I'll wash up as you cooked"
"No....go rest watch tv,it won't take me long ,"
Jimin huffed then went back to the sitting room putting the tv on and becoming engrossed in a romantic film.
Jungkook came into the room quietly watching Jimin as he became embroiled in the storyline where the couple broke up.
"You want a drink?"
"Oh I didn't hear you!"
Jimin quickly turned the tv off ,swiping a hand quickly across his eyes.
"Were you crying!?"
Jimin pouted," it was sad ok? They had everything then he said he wanted to break up....."
"It's just a film....maybe if you'd carried on watching it they would have ended up happily ever after......"
"I doubt it.........real life isn't like that is it?"
"That's cynical,don't you hope to find love someday?"
"I'd have to find a boyfriend first and that's not happened..." he blurted.
Embaressed at talking about his lack of love life Jimin stood up.
"Er I'm going to bed....I'll leave you in peace..."
He went to walk past Jungkook who stopped him easily by holding his waist.
"How do you expect to get a boyfriend if you're always running away?"
"I don't see anyone lining up do you? Who wants a broke,now homeless boyfriend....,it's not the best option is it..." Jimin gave a painful laugh as the reality hit home," goodnight," he whispered.
Jungkook stared after him," you should explore all possibilities Jimin....you have an option here in front of you!"
