'Hyung?' Jungkook asked as Jimin walked into his room and threw himself down on his bed unceremoniously.
'I've been kicked out of my room, deal with it.' Jimin mumbled.
It was becoming a habit since Yoongi and Hoseok worked their problems out and became ''disgustingly sweet'' as Namjoon usually referred to them.
'I'm trying to study here.' Jungkook shrugged, turning back to his desk.
'Just talk to me then.' Jimin whined, hugging Jungkook's pillow to himself with a miserable pout.
'No.'
'Oh, come on.'
'Nope.'
'Kookie!' Jimin pleaded, reaching over to tug on his t-shirt and Jungkook suppressed a smile. 'Don't you have a heart?'
'Some say I don't have one.' Jungkook said, as he turned around with his chair and threw his legs up on the bed, resting them on Jimin's stomach.
'Well, that's nonsense.' Jimin blinked, startled out of his pouting by that answer. 'Who would even say that?'
'You did too.' Jungkook smiled lopsidedly.
'But I didn't know you then!' Jimin exclaimed. 'You are actually much more evil then you let on.'
'Gee, thanks hyung.'
'Just kidding.' Jimin said, glancing at Jungkook from behind his pillow. 'But I actually do know you better.'
'Really?' Jungkook asked, raising a brow.
'Duh, first of all you are good at pretending that you are a genius that can do everything perfectly on the first try.' Jimin smiled. 'But you are just working harder then anyone else to achieve that.'
Jungkook blinked in surprise, as Jimin continued.
'You are confident in your abilities but you are not confident in yourself... You like to ask Hoseok-hyung for advice.' he said, but there was no longer accusation behind those words.
It was a habit that still came to Jungkook easier then just doing what he felt was right.
'And you are really, really slow.' Jimin added, his smile knowing and mysterious at the same time and Jungkook scratched the back off his head awkwardly.
One year. Taehyung was not about to let him live it down.
And there they were, dancing around it again, but still none of them dared to say anything...
'Am I right?'
'Yeah.' Jungkook admitted. 'Is it my turn now?'
'Are you trying to say that you are not a heartless robot and can actually understand people now?' Jimin teased, but Jungkook knew it was what Jimin thought of him at first.
'You are easier to figure out then you think, hyung.' Jungkook shrugged and Jimin started to drum on Jungkook's legs in a nervous habit.
He started to notice these, whenever he said something that hit close to Jimin's real personality or his insecurities – habits that used to be vicious anger, lashing out and mean comments. But not anymore, and that developing trust amazed Jungkook still.
And maybe he could show him too, that it was okay to be himself.
'You like to act like an obnoxious, loud and over-confident punk.' Jungkook began on the same note as Jimin and accepted the mock hurt hit to his leg. 'But that's just for show, so others wouldn't look too close...'
Jimin stopped drumming on his legs and looked at Jungkook like he was seeing him for the first time – he really didn't think that he would know. Jungkook was glad to prove him wrong.
'You are actually kind, a bit shy and very caring.' Jungkook smiled softly, his cheeks heating up a bit because this was as much of a revelation of himself as it was of Jimin. Because it showed that he cared too.
'And you compare yourself too often to others, when you should be proud of yourself... Then you too end up at Hoseok-hyung for advice.' Jungkook continued and Jimin's gaze felt heavy on him, making his heart stutter but he was not about to look away.
'Oh, and you should stop calling Taehyung-hyung to complain about me.' he added with a grin. 'He always ends up nagging me!'
Jimin blinked once then began to laugh, loud and clear.
'It's not funny. You should know how annoying he can be.' Jungkook tried for a whine, but ended up laughing too.
'Alright, fine.' Jimin chuckled. 'I will call Jin-hyung instead or maybe I should just nag at you myself.'
'I do think that's the sound of standards dropping.' Jungkook smirked.
Jimin needed a second to recover from that, but he was quick to get a hold of Jungkook's legs and pulled him into the bed to tickle him in punishment.
Jungkook tried to fight back while he laughed wildly, the roughhousing continuing until Jimin came to a very sudden stop.
And that's when Jungkook noticed their position too, Jimin straddling his waist as his hyung held his wrists against the bed. It only took a second more to notice the sudden change in Jimin's gaze too.
Because Jimin casted a look so strong, so intense that he forgot to breath.
It sent a dizzying rush straight to the base of Jungkook's spine and he realized with startling clarity that he felt desire. But he knew desire - sudden and senseless that he experienced sometimes - and this was different.
It was so very different to desire someone.
