The next day, Jungkook and Jimin were in the car, the air filled with playful teasing and lighthearted energy. Jimin was driving, his hands gripping the wheel, but his mind was more occupied with the teasing from Jungkook.

"You've got a boyfriend now, Hyung," Jungkook teased, his voice light, but with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I can't believe it."

Jimin blushed, his cheeks turning a soft pink. "Shut up, Kook," he muttered, feeling a mix of shyness and happiness. "It’s not like you’re any better with Taehyung."

Jungkook chuckled, leaning back in his seat. "Oh, I’m just saying, it’s nice to see you so happy. And, hey, I did help Yoongi get the courage to propose to you. You’re welcome," he added with a grin.

Jimin shot him a playful side-eye. "Yeah, thanks for that. Otherwise, that idiot would still be too nervous to do anything."

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. "I didn’t know you liked him that much, naughty Hyung," he teased. "Why didn’t you tell me?"

Jimin, still focused on the road, grinned. "And what about you, Kook? What were you doing with Taehyung last night? Kissing him too?"

Jungkook froze for a second, his face going slightly pale. He hadn't expected Jimin to bring it up. His gaze shifted awkwardly before he shrugged nonchalantly. "Well... uh, yeah. We were just... talking," he said, trying to sound casual.

Jimin smirked. "I saw you two last night. You didn’t think I’d notice?"

Jungkook’s eyes widened. "Wait, you saw us?"

Jimin nodded, his eyes still focused on the road. "Yup, and now that you mention it, do you like him?" he asked, his tone shifting slightly, becoming more serious.

Jungkook felt a warm flush creeping up his neck. His fingers played with the fabric of his shirt as he looked away for a moment, hesitant. "I think... I think I love him," he admitted quietly, his voice soft and almost unsure, but sincere.

Jimin let out a laugh, shaking his head in amusement. "Oh my God, Kook, I can’t believe this. You’re all shy now, huh?"

Jungkook groaned, feeling both embarrassed and relieved at the same time. "Shut up, hyung," he muttered, but his smile betrayed him.

Jimin laughed harder, teasing him all the way to the university. The car ride was filled with light-hearted banter, but underneath it all, both of them knew things were changing—something deeper was blossoming between Jungkook and Taehyung.

As they arrived at the university, Jungkook suddenly grabbed his crotch, his face contorted in a mix of discomfort and urgency. "Hyung, unlock the door! I need to pee!" he shouted, his voice panicked.

Jimin's eyes widened in surprise, momentarily worried about what might have happened to Jungkook, but then again, what else could he expect from his mischievous friend? "Jeez, okay, okay, but be fast. The bell’s gonna ring soon!" Jimin quickly unlocked the door, his voice tinged with a mix of concern and frustration.

Jungkook didn't waste a second. He dashed out of the car, leaving his backpack behind in the rush. Jimin just sighed, shaking his head with a soft chuckle. "This boy," he muttered, watching Jungkook run toward the building.

Once Jungkook was out of sight, Jimin locked the car and grabbed both of their backpacks. He stood for a moment, shaking his head at his friend’s antics. Then, with a resigned sigh, he walked toward his class, knowing that despite Jungkook’s craziness, he always had his back.
