12 Days Of Bangtan | 2016

day nine ~ jinkook

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true gave to me, nine ladies dancing, eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree...

POV: Seokjin
I work in amusement park, where I'm surrounded by crazy, little children all the time. Most of the time, it's absolutely adorable to put smiles on their faces, but they're also little pests sometimes.

Of course, Jungkook knew that.

"I-I'm not doing Santa's grotto this year!" I sighed, shaking my head in disbelief. "Last year, I had to play Santa for the whole day! No way am I doing that again!"

"C'mon, Seokjin- you do wanna keep your job, don't you?" Namjoon, my boss, frowned. "I know that you're an amazing Santa, so don't spoil everything now, okay?"

"Ugh... please, Namjoon. Not this year, not again, please get somebody else to dress up as Santa this y-" I begged.

"Do you want some help?" a voice from behind me asked. "Are you Kim Namjoon?"

The two of us turned around to see a raven haired boy with a coconut cut, grinning sheepishly.

"Yes, I am Kim Namjoon," he nodded. "I'm assuming you're my new employee, Mr. Jeon?"

"Yes, that would indeed be me," the coconut head flashed a cheesy smile. "Jeon Jungkook, nice to meet you," he held out his hand for Namjoon to shake.

"Right. What job position can I give you for the time being, until we can sort out something permanent for you?" Namjoon sighed, biting his lip while thinking.

"Wasn't this man over here in a bit of a dilemma just now?" Jungkook spoke up. "Surely, I could be of some use to you."

"Ah, well Seokjin over here was complaining about his position in our company this year," he looked over at me. "Perhaps you would like to take his place as I sort out something else for him? Would that be fine with both of you?"

We both nodded in unison as Jungkook slowly took the Christmas hat away from my hands, flashing me a quick smile.

"Thanks," I whispered as our shoulders brushed against each other. He was walking towards Santa's grotto with the costume in one hand, and a big bag of wrapped up presents in the other.

"No problem," he winked back, before disappearing into the cave that was little children's heaven.

"Seokjin, what do I do with you, then?" sighed Namjoon, running out of ideas. "I've always just placed you in Santa's grotto, but since you're clearly not a fan of that position anymore... I don't really know what to do with you, to be honest."

"Well, what other options are available for me?" I frowned. "I mean, I don't really want to play Santa anymore, but the grotto is popular and busy every year, so perhaps I could just help Jungkook, especially since this is his first year on the job and all," I lightly suggested. "but I don't know."

Truth was, I just wanted to get closer to the little cutie and learn more about him. It seemed like the perfect time for me to flirt with him, and perhaps even catch his number on a slip of paper.

"Is that what you want to do?" Namjoon looked up at me. "Is that fine with you, if you become Santa's little helper instead?" he chuckled at the name. "It is awfully nice of you to help out the new kid, though, so go ahead, knock yourself out!"

Of course, I will.

"Thanks, boss. I appreciate it," I nodded, before jogging off to join the boy, who I just caught mid-undressing. "Hey-" I put my hand over my mouth as I saw his abs, his toned muscles. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I-I didn't mean to walk in on you ch-changing, sorry." my cheeks flushed a bright red.

He just grinned. "It's okay, you don't have to apologise. We're both men anyway, aren't we? No need to hide anything," he laughed. "I'm only changing."

He saw me eyeing his model-like body and started flexing his muscles like a bodybuilder.

"Like what you see?" he smirked, teasing me slightly.

"Mm-hm," I nodded, out of natural instinct, before I snapped out of my dreamy gaze and shook my head, going redder than before.

"Oh, you're blushing," he put his palm to my cheek. "It's boiling! You okay?"

I grabbed his palm that was still squished onto his cheek and gave him a quick smile.

"You look really hot like that," I murmured, my free hand circling his chest. "Pff, you don't even need the Santa outfit. Just whack on the hat, flex your muscles, and you'll be absolutely fine." I giggled.

"Yeah, you think so?" he raised an eyebrow. "You know, you don't look so bad either."

I didn't really know why my hand was still on top of his, which was still making contact with my cheek, but when he leaned closer towards my face, our lips lightly brushed against each other.

"Can I...?" he whispered, his warm, minty breath tickling my face.

He didn't wait until I gave him an answer as his head dipped forwards and our lips crashed into each other, harder this time.

We were hidden away from everybody else, as though the grotto was our little escape, and even though our first shift was due to start soon, it didn't matter.

"You're cute," he giggled. "Are you younger than me?"

"I doubt it, boy, since I'm twenty four," I saw him break out into a smile. "What about you?"

"Ha, twenty," he mumbled. "But age doesn't matter, does it? I like you, Seokjin, I think you're gonna be a keeper for me." we kissed again.

Inside the children's grotto, it was dark with only a few fairy lights hung up around the place to keep it illuminated. It gave off a homely, yet creepy aura, and I loved it.

"Beautiful, isn't it? This cosy place," I stroked his cheek. "Not as beautiful as you, though, that's for sure."

"Hmm, sure," he nodded slightly. He cupped the back of my head as we sat down on the floor, our lips unable to be stopped as we had a make-out session. "Shh, no talk, more action!"

I don't know how long we were on the floor for, but it must've been a while, since we were both shirtless, a floppy Christmas hat placed on Jungkook's head, and a reindeer hat on mine.

"I like you, a lot," he breathed out slowly. "Maybe even love if we continue this, hmm... Santa's little helper, aren't you?"

"Only for you," I hooked my fingers around the nape of his neck. "And you're my cute little Santa, mine forever and always."

Of course, as if on the cue, our shift started, the curtains to the grotto opened wide at that very second, and it revealed two hot shirtless messes making out on the floor with zero shame. We swiftly got up and composed ourselves but Namjoon saw everything.

"Welcome to Santa's grotto!" Jungkook cheered, quickly thinking of something to say. My arms were still wrapped around him and I sheepishly laughed, Jungkook throwing my little reindeer ears on my head.

Needless to say, Namjoon was very confused that night.
