Little Kitten (jikook)

Lost and Gain

Jimin woke up early the next morning, his thoughts were running wild. He was thinking about Yukwon how hurt and said he had looked, after Jimin had told him that he had feelings for someone else.
Furthermore his thoughts were on said person. Jimin wondered why Jungkook hadn't called back, Jimin himself didn't want to disturb the older again, so he had restraint from calling him.
He got out of bed and walked into the kitchen, for some breakfast before work.

"Aaaand how was your date?" Jimin's aunt was sitting at the table, a smug smile displayed on her face, a cup of tea in her hands.
"Uhm, nice" Jimin said, sitting down.
"Oh Jimin, please tell me, I am dying to hear more, please tell me more? Is she from your class? "
Jimin looked at his aunt, he had no idea how she would react if he told her that he was gay, but Jimin would tell her sooner or later, that'd be sure, because he really hated lying.
So why not tell her sooner rather than later?

"No…it wasn't someone from my class, not even from my school, he was a customer at the Café, and he asked me there." Jimin looked shyly at his aunt.
"Oh, I didn't know you were gay. I am sorry."
Jimin shook his head. "How should you, I came to terms with my sexuality not so long ago, so of course you could not know. But why are you sorry?"

His aunt laughed. "I am sorry for just assuming you were straight, and even if it most common, I should have considered that maybe you could swing the other way.
And well boy, that's a great loss for every woman out there, but a great gain for every gay man out there…" She winked at him and Jimin snickered, grabbing himself a yoghurt out of the fridge.

"Ok, Jimin, then tell me more about Mr. first date…"
Jimin giggled at his aunt, he definitely didn't knew that side of her, but he really liked it.
"Well he is 27 and really nice and good looking." His aunt looked at him anticipating what would come next, it was clear that she hoped Jimin would tell her that they both kissed.

"But although I might like him a bit, there is someone else I just like so much more…" Jimin looked down, slurping his Yoghurt.
"Oh Jimin…" Her voice was soft first. "Please eat your Yoghurt like every normal human being eats…" She scolded him and Jimin ate normal.
"Did you tell him that?" The boy nodded. "That’s good. I know if he likes you, he still might be hurt from the fact that his feelings aren't mutual, but at least it does ease the pain."
His aunt gave him a brief hug. "So…please tell me about the man you like."

"He is 22, has black hair…and if he smiles, not often, I think I saw it..one or two times, he looks like a bunny." Jimin smiled at the thought of Jungkook's smile.
"Where did you meet, not at school, or?"
"No, not exactly. He is a member of the gang. I accidently watched him shooting someone, I got lost during one of my running's and luckily he didn't kill me…"
Jimin got shy, he didn't know how his aunt would react now, but she still looked friendly at the young man.

"You know that one time I came home so late, and I told you I had been out with Seokjin-hyung?"
Jimin thought that maybe now was a good moment to confess and come clean with his lie from a month ago. His aunt watched Jimin, who nervously got up from his chair to throw the empty yoghurt container into the trash bin.
"Well, I was hijacked by another gang, and Jungkook-hyung and three others came to save me…"

His aunt clicked with her tongue . "What is it with you and your mother, you both feel drawn to the danger, huh? Just like the moth is drawn to light." She got up, kissing Jimin's temple lightly.
"I wonder what else you got from her.." She mumbled more to herself than to Jimin.
"Oh well, as long as he makes you happy right?" She shoot him a wide smile while leaving the room.
"Have fun working today." Jimin answered with a 'will have' while watching his aunt disappear into the bathroom. For Jimin it was now time to go to work.

"Ohh Jimin, come on, you mean that date was a waste of time..Aish, I can't believe you." Seungkwan said in an overly dramatic tone. "It was not a waste of time, it was a nice evening."
"But still, that poor man, trying to go on a date with you for so long and then..you should have just punched him in the face" Seungkwan gestured his words, throwing up a fist on himself, careful not to hurt himself.
"That would still be less painful than the damage you have done. Jimin really felt a bit guilty. "Seungkwan could you please leave Jimin alone, he definitely has his reasons. "Seokjin-hyung came to the front, freshly baked cookies in his hands. Seungkwan just muttered a silent ok and went on to sing with the music that was playing in the Café.
