Friends To Forever|| Jikook||

Chapter 10

Third person's P.O.V:

Jimin ended the call, his cheeks tinged with a soft blush, almost dazed expression on his face. He glanced up at his friends, nibbling on his bottom lip, unsure of how to explain what just happened.

Hoseok noticed the look immediately, "Alright, jimin, spill. What did he say?" he asked, eyes glinting with mischief.

Jimin's voice was soft and a bit flustered as he replied, "Um… K-kookie told me to wait… said he is coming." He trailed off, his blush deepening as he realized how it sounded.

Taehyung's grin widened, and he clapped his hands together. "Oh, really? So, Jungkook couldn't even handle being away from you for a few hours, huh?"

Jimin's blush only grew darker, and he looked down, fiddling with the shopping bags in his hands. "It's not… he just… maybe he needs something…" he looked down, feeling both embarrassed and strangely… happy. He was always used to Jungkook's attention in this way, but he couldn’t deny how his heart sped up whenever Jungkook showed even the smallest hint of care.

Hoseok grinned even wider, nudging taehyung , "Ohhh, I see! Maybe he needs something, huh? Like… maybe he needs to see his favorite pretty boy?"

Taehyung chimed in, chuckling. "Exactly! Face it, Jimin—Jungkook can't go a few hours without his 'pretty boy' by his side."

Jimin’s blush only deepened, and he tried to hide his face behind his hands. "It’s not like that! You two are being ridiculous," he whispered, but the hopeful sparkle in his eyes gave him away.

Taehyung laughed, giving him a playful nudge. He was slowly getting used to the teasing, though his blush never quite faded. Each time Taehyung or Hoseok dropped a playful comment, he'd roll his eyes but with a shy smile tugging at his lips. Deep down, their teasing only made his heart race faster, especially knowing that Jungkook was on his way. It was strange—Jungkook could be so cold and intimidating to others, yet with him, there was always something softer, something gentler. Jimin liked that he got to see that side, even if it left him a flustered mess.

Exactly After five minutes, the soft rumble of a car engine broke the quiet, and a sleek black car pulled up smoothly in front of them. Jimin's breath hitched as he recognized it instantly—Jungkook's car. His friends exchanged excited looks, nudging Jimin as they watched his face turn pink.

The door opened, and Jungkook stepped out in all his hot, effortless glory. He looked every bit the heartthrob Jimin knew him to be, with his tousled dark hair, piercing gaze and the hint of tattoos visible under the edges of his leather jacket. . His muscular frame filled out his jacket perfectly, and Jimin couldn't help but stare, his heart skipping a beat. Jungkook didn't even have to try; he simply existed, and somehow that was enough to leave Jimin a blushing mess.

Jungkook walked up to them, his gaze sweeping over the group before settling on Jimin with a subtle warmth in his eyes. "Hey, guys," he greeted, nodding at Taehyung and Hoseok.

"Hey, Jungkook," both Taehyung and Hoseok greeted back with smiles.

Jungkook glanced at the bags in each of their hands, his expression casual and slightly amused. "Looks like you guys did some serious shopping," he commented, unaware of the playful schemes running through their minds.

"Of course," Taehyung replied with a grin. "It's my birthday coming up, remember? We needed to make sure everything was perfect!"

Jungkook just nodded, clearly thinking nothing of it, and stepped closer to Jimin. Without a second thought, he reached over and took Jimin's bags from his hands, his gesture both natural and caring. "Here, let me help with these," he said, his voice soft as he took the weight of the bags easily.
