Two halves as a whole (Jikook)

Chapter - 21

The day had gone smoothly, and Jimin was excited to head home with Jungkook. As he waited for him, he noticed that Jungkook had been unusually quiet. When Jungkook finally arrived and asked Jimin to hop on his bike, the ride home was filled with a tense silence. Jimin tried to engage in conversation, but Jungkook's responses were short, making Jimin uneasy.

When they arrived at home, the silence of the house confirmed that no one was there. Dok was at the company, and Jinha and Grandma had gone to the hospital for Grandma's checkup. 

The moment they stepped inside, Jimin suddenly found himself pinned against the wall, Jungkook's lips crashing into his before he could even comprehend what was happening. 

The kiss was urgent, intense, and caught Jimin completely off guard. He tried to process it, but the passion of the moment left him breathless. When he couldn't take it anymore, he gently tapped Jungkook's chest, signaling him to stop.

Jungkook immediately pulled away, both of them panting heavily. Jimin was confused by the sudden shift in Jungkook's behavior. He could see the regret in Jungkook's eyes as he gently hugged him, pressing a soft kiss to the top of Jimin's head. "Sorry," Jungkook muttered, his voice filled with guilt.

They moved to the living room, where Jungkook sat on the sofa while Jimin brought them two glasses of water. After drinking and catching his breath, Jimin finally asked, "What was that about? What happened earlier?"

Jungkook sighed deeply, rubbing the back of his neck. "I was... jealous."

Jimin blinked at him in confusion, his head tilting slightly as if asking silently, *Jealous? Of what*

Seeing Jimin's clueless expression, Jungkook's jaw tightened as he explained, "Earlier, in the break... the way you were laughing and leaning on Min-hoo... I didn't like it. At all. And the way everyone was looking at you two, even cooing and shipping you both together—none of it was acceptable. You're mine, Jimin."

Realization dawned on Jimin, and he couldn't help but chuckle, though his laughter was light and teasing. Jungkook's intense jealousy, paired with his bunny-like anger, was too cute to handle. "You—" Jimin laughed again. "You look like a bunny fuming in anger."

Jungkook, however, didn't seem amused by the comment, and his pout deepened.

Realizing that Jungkook wasn't in the mood for teasing, Jimin subtly softened his expression and reached out to take Jungkook's hand. "First of all," Jimin said, his voice calm and assuring, "Hwan was with us the whole time, so I wasn't alone with Min-hoo. Second, it's just my habit to lean on people when I laugh. I wasn't even thinking about it, really. And the most important thing is..." Jimin leaned closer, his eyes locking with Jungkook's. "I only have eyes for my Gukkie. I'm not planning to look at anyone else."

Jungkook's pout faltered a little, his gaze softening as Jimin's words sank in. Still, he mumbled under his breath, "You don't understand how beautiful your smile is, Jimin. How contagious it is. It can make anyone fall in love with you, and I only want that smile for myself."

Jimin's heart melted. Seeing Jungkook this vulnerable and possessive made him feel even closer to him. Without hesitation, Jimin got up from his spot and moved to sit on Jungkook's lap. Instantly, Jungkook's arms wrapped protectively around Jimin, holding him close.

Jimin cupped Jungkook's face, making him look directly into his eyes. "Let them ship or say whatever they want," Jimin whispered softly. "But I will always choose you. Only you."Jungkook's heart swelled with love and relief. Before he could respond, Jimin leaned in and kissed him gently, sealing his promise with a sweet, lingering kiss that reassured Jungkook that there was no one else in his world but him.
