BTS ONESHOTS - b X b

when fall is over (jikook)

jungkook's sitting on his bed, eyes glued to the floor. his heart is racing loudly, thundering in his ears and striking his eardrums. jimin's coming home tonight. it's been a while since the two have seen each other. college has done its work of tearing them out of each other's schedules and ruining plans. it's been a full three months since they've been able to talk face to face. phone calls have been scarcely made and texts were the best communication between the two, though most of the time it would only be once or twice a day.

it's been a bit difficult since jungkook dropped out. college was a lot for him, especially away from his parents and jimin. being away from everyone and having no one familiar to interact with created a very strong hatred jungkook has for college. his parents were surprisingly supportive, and opened the front door to greet him when he came back soon after. though it still felt horrible to be away from jimin, he feels a lot better with his parents.

jungkook has nearly endless free time as he works on commissions from home, and it's led him to realize how much he misses jimin.

jimin's often the one not able to respond all that much. he spends most of the day working and then goes to alternative night classes before he tucks in for the night in his shared dorm room. he works hard to make time for jungkook, no matter how little that time is. he always makes sure he sends an "ily" before he gets ready for his day. he's the one that got this set up. he worked his ass off to be able to get about a week off to spend back at home and with jungkook. mostly with jungkook.

the last text jimin sent was a heart emoji after jungkook told him to be safe while driving. that was about two hours ago, so jimin will be coming back soon. jungkook's feeling a bit faint at the mere thought of having jimin with him. there's an odd feeling bubbling in his chest as he thinks of how long it's been. his mouth is dry and he almost can't help but to clutch at his chest. he recognizes this to be months of feeling unhappy hitting him all at once. he's felt so lonely, missing jimin and missing how things used to be before things seemed so biased against them. he misses jimin so much that it hurts to even think of him, to see him must feel like death.

jungkook's head peeks up when he hears the front door closing. the house slightly shakes with how hard it's shut. heavy and quick footsteps follow up the stairs, getting louder as they rush down the hallway until the knob is turning. jimin's standing there with a bright smile, holding about two too many duffel bags and backpacks full of clothes and such. he sheds all of them off clumsily, barely kicking the last strap off from his ankle with he collapses onto jungkook. jungkook falls back on his bed and tightly winds his arms around jimin, tucking his face into jimin's hair. jimin hugs him tight enough that it makes it slightly harder to breathe for jungkook.

"jesus, jungkook, i've missed you." jimin whispers into his chest, nosing to his neck and kissing him there, gentle and quick. jungkook looks up at jimin and notices that jimin's eyelashes are wet. he smiles and moves an arm to come up jimin's back and has his hand in his grown out brunette hair.

"i've missed you too." he says. jimin nods slowly and tucks back down to hug him again, tighter. jungkook feels jimin's arms squeeze around him until it once again starts to shorten his breaths. the feeling in his chest comes back and he hugs jimin again. he feels flooded with emotions and is remembering everything that he hasn't been able to tell jimin about. months of being on his own weighs heavily on him. despite knowing and supporting his transition back home, his parents don't truly know why he came back.

"did you really? i thought of you every day. and every night." jimin asks, running his hands up jungkook's sides as he sits up, above jungkook. he curls a hand into jungkook's hair. jungkook's eyes close when jimin's knuckles brush against his scalp. he smiles softly, and cracks an eye open playfully.
