thirty four

thirty four—

the next morning, jimin woke up first. the two of them, jungkook and jimin, had their limbs entangled together and bodies pressed firmly against each other.

for jimin, when he remembered what happened last night, he flushed a dark red and hid his face in jungkooks chest. their deed had been nothing short of amazing, and there was no way he would say that out loud or tell the other male. unless he had to or something.

he peered up at jungkook's sleeping face and smiled slightly. he had always enjoyed watching jungkook sleep, as creepy as that sounds. because he was so much more at peace than when he was awake. while awake, he was this serious guy who had a stone still expression, even though more recently jungkook had seemed to be relaxing in the slightest and being what was called, himself.

jungkook as himself rather than a strict prison guard had revealed itself to be quite a romantic cutie. he loved to act about doing things enthusiastically, often resulting in his success of whatever he just happened to be attempting. he was normally comedic and understanding, but when provoked could be quite sharp with his wit and tongue.

nevertheless, jungkook was two years his junior. that being so, it all made sense when jungkook acted cute with him. plus from what jungkook had told him, he'd never had a childhood like most kids. jimin supposed jungkook was beginning to be comfortable with him now, willing to act about his age and in his true personality.

this jimin continued to smile to himself. he pushed his face into the crook of jungkooks neck and draped his arms over his shoulders. jimin would be lying if he said he didn't like it when he did open up. because he absolutely loved it. it always acted as a milestone in his head of how far they'd progressed together after past events.

"how're you already awake?" a voice suddenly cut into his thoughts. jimin laughed quietly and looked up at jungkook again. this time, his eyes were slightly open and a small smile in the place of what was just moments ago, a line of peaceful bliss.

"i just am." jimin mumbled back to him. he reached up and pecked jungkook gently on the lips. jungkook looked up at him with his doe eyes and his smile grew to a jovial length.

"asleep or awake, either way, you're with me." jungkook leaned down and kissed him, starting slow and meaningful. although it was meant to be short, it ended up being a bit longer than intended. an accident but a good accident nonetheless.

jungkook moved above jimin, hands placed on either side of himself to support his weight as he lifted himself to a sitting position. jimin moved as well, now moving to sit in jungkook's lap while they moved their heads closer. jungkook smiled against his lips, taking a moment to run his hands down jimins waist slowly where his hands were to rest.

jimin smiled too, and slowly pulled away. he slid his hands over jungkook's shoulders and down his shoulder blades to cup the small of his back. he let a sigh then escape his lips, and he looked down at jungkook with meaningful eyes.

"jungkook-ah, ive been thinking." he murmured slowly. jungkook's big joyous grin shrunk down to a tiny smile. his hands moved up from the waist to his shoulders now.

"what about?" he hummed. jimin watched jungkook lean toward and rest his chin on his chest, staring intently up into his eyes like he was trying to find his answer before he said it. jimin couldn't help but crack a smile.

"i don't..." jimin started, wondering exactly how to word it. it made jungkook raise a brow in curiosity.

"don't what?" jungkook asked and jimin sighed once again.

"i don't want to be stuck here in this prison for the next four and a half years." jimin said finally. jungkook then remembered exactly how long it had been. jimin had been at this prison for six months thus far. he blinked, wondering exactly where the time had gone.

"but what about me?" jungkook teased him. jimin shoved jungkook away from him, furrowing his brows at him as he moved to the edge of the bed.

"you know that's not what i meant," jimin grumbled. jungkook laughed and crawled up beside him. draping his legs over the side and kicking them above the floor. "i don't want us to spend all our time in here when we could be out there."

jimin looked to the window of jungkook's room, seeing rays of light trickle in from the sky above. he wanted to be out. free.

jungkook nodded. he understood where jimin was coming from and why he wanted to leave. if he was being honest, he wanted to leave too.

"yeah," jungkook mumbled.

"you want to leave too right?" jimin turned his head to jungkook, clearly wanting to know his answer.

"of course." jungkook nodded. he slipped his hand into jimins and gave it a small squeeze. "i just haven't left all these years because i had no one else."

jimin stared at him without saying a word. jimin understood all too well. if you had no one with you or willing to join you, you would feel discouraged, hopeless, and very much alone. the power of a friend was really a thing to admire. having anyone could make you go to lengths of fun or trouble, as long as you were with them.

when jimin was younger he didn't have any friends, thus he didn't ever feel motivated to do anything. but that changed when he met a few people in college and at work.

jimin leaned his head on jungkooks shoulder and looked at him sideways. he really did understand what jungkook was talking about. a small chuckle erupted from jimins mouth and he saw jungkook look at him in confusion.

"but jungkook..." he sat up again and pressed a small crooked kiss on the corner of jungkook's mouth. "you have me now." he smiled warmly at him, eyes scrunched upwards in their own smiles, hoping to express the positivity from his statement.

jungkook erupted into laughter, teeth peering out from under his lip as he smiled. jimin had always enjoyed seeing him smile. laugh. it was so genuine and beamed happiness every time it appeared. plus his eyes crinkled at the sides, seeming to express all the joy he felt in that moment because there was so much of it, and it only made jimin love it and him more.

"yeah, now i have you." jungkook murmured to himself. and maybe now that he did have someone he could finally leave this prison.

just maybe.
