Tension//Jikook

Embrace

Oh my god, thanks a bunch for checking out this fic! This freaking file freaking got deleted TWICE. That's why it's coming in a little late, and I'm SUPER furious. That aside, I wanna try to interact with you guys more, so that I can understand you guys better! As such, I shall include a Q&A section at the end where I'll ask you guys a question each chapter and I hope that you guys can respond! I'm currently listening to Trap by Henry, feat. Taemin and Kyuhyun, so I'm gonna include more angst in the story! (Usually my mood and inspiration to write depends on the music I listen to, so yeah, I try to listen to sad/breakup/confused songs when I have to write angst, haha) Btw, I'm travelling in Taiwan, and I'm sure all you authors out there know that travelling and writing is the best combination EVER. PERIOD.

Man I Think I Love Her(Nightcored version)

V.
Two hours saw them collapsed on the floor, panting heavily, totally spent and worn out from their consistent dancing. Trying to regain their energy and recover their labored breaths, they glanced at each other, conveying so many feelings and messages that the other didn't get, didn't understand.

Several minutes later, Jungkook managed to crawl up into a kneeling position. He then proceeded to stand up and slowly padded towards Jimin. Offering a hand to him, he pulled the exhausted boy up into a sitting position before helping him stand upright. They made their way to gather their belongings before heading home for the day.

When they exited, the sky was still painted a light blue, it was still afternoon. They knew that Yoongi and Namjoon would not go out of their ways to get nourishment until they finished their compositions, so the duo bought Chinese take-out for everybody, just in case the rest were hungry too.

When they opened the door that lead to their dorms, a sight that consisted of Taehyung and Jin facing off in Mario Kart, both on the couch, eyes trained on the game, only bothering to greet the two who had just returned. This was practically a routine for them every time they had spare time, so nobody was really surprised.

"We brought back Chinese take-out, guys! Where is everybody else?" Jimin questioned, still cheerful despite feeling like he was crushed beneath a huge boulder. Jungkook took a weary glance at him, wondering how his hyung still could remain so happy-go-lucky.

This time, Jin replied. "Yoongi and Hoseok are napping in your room, Namjoon is still working on the song." His reaponse was short and clipped, as if he was unwilling to talk at all.

Then after that there was silence, save for the sounds coming from the game consoles and the sound of Jimin and Jungkook wolfing down their food. The moment they finished, they cleaned up and headed up, planning to rest their tired bodies in preparation of what seemed like a packed schedule for another hectic week.

They padded to Jungkook's room, which was shared with Hoseok. The moment they reached the room, Jungkook didn't bother looking at whose bed it was and immediately dove beneath the pristine linen covers, nestling himself and lulling himself to sleep by softly singing a melody.

Jimin, on the other hand, was too groggy to wrap his mind around the fact that the bed wasn't his, and followed suit, soon falling into a deep, dreamless sleep.

And in that moment, everything in the world was right.

As the two lay, side by side, cuddled up against each other, faces a perfect definition of peace and serenity. Well, it would have lasted had the two continued sleeping for the rest of eternity. But well, lets just say that humans aren't meant to sleep until the end of forever unless they're dying. And Jimin and Jungkook are anything but dying.

And so, they find themselves wrapped around each other, Jimin's face buried in Jungkook's chest, legs entangled with each other's. Jimin was the first to stir, actually. He smelled something foreign next to him, triggering his instinct to wake up. He groaned softly, rubbing his face into what seemed like a warm furnace. Arms tightened around his waist, and he realized, belatedly, that the warm furnace was a human.

A human named Jungkook, to say the least. Startled awake by the sudden movement next to him, Jungkook slowly slid his eyes open. And he never thought he would see such a beautiful image before his eyes. Jimin was gazing up at him through half-lidded eyes, lips parted slightly, and of course, body pressed up to him in the most intimate way possible.

After a few minutes that seemed like eternity to them, they hastily scrambled apart, both sputtering tremendously, trying to explain the situation to the other. Jimin was waving his arms frantically, awkwardy stumbling off the bed and straightening up his attire subconsciously. Their cheeks were flushed pink, heavily affected by the close proximity they were in moments ago.

A few minutes of frantic "I-can-explain"s, they settled on forgetting it ever happened-not that they really did, cause it was the bestest moment in their lives so far(wrong grammar intended, by the way)-and acting as if all was well-it really wasn't, their hearts were threatening to burst out of their ribcages.

It was then that they also realized that it was high time they stopped falling in love harder with the other. (And also that they had to head to the dining room to eat before anyone came in and caught wind of their situation).

That sums it up for this chapter! Now for the Q&A session! Today, its travel-themed cause I'm travelling!

What myths/practices do you believe in/do when you're overseas/travelling?

And now, for the explaination of the chapters! First up, Accidental was named as such because Jungkook accidentally overheard Suga and Jimin, that much you can figure out. Then here comes along our second chapter, Collision. This one is named as such cause they had an angry encounter in the kitchen, worsening their fallout, so hence the name, since colliding with something means there is a bounce back kind of thing. Next, we have Confrontation. This is because they were alone, and were forced to interact with each other, so they kind of confront each other with the situation at hand. Then there's Realization. This is obviously because Jungkook realizes his attachment to Jimin means more than just hyung and dongsaeng or even siblings. Last but not least so far, we have Embrace, where we see Jungkook and Jimin more or less embracing their love for each other even when they know there is next to no chance the other will ever reciprocate the feelings. (Shouts in the background "HE LOVES YOU TOO!!!") But well, that part is saved for later. Oh, and I think I did a poor and shitty attempt at creating an awkward moment for them.
