"You Lost Now You're Mine"

Chapter 32

Jimin was ready to go by five thirty. He had packed two sets of clothing, his pajamas, plus his formal attire for the lecture he'd be giving later that day. He knew Jungkook had already reserved a hotel nearby for them since they planned to stay a night or two. He decided to read until Jungkook came to get him, which didn't take long.

Jungkook knocked on his door around five fifty and then after exchanging their greetings and a few kisses, the both of them were on their way. Jungkook drove and Jimin talked to him to make sure he wouldn't fall asleep while driving. After a couple hours of driving, they stopped for breakfast at a small diner off the side of the highway. The place was nice and had decent food. Jimin got strawberry pancakes while Jungkook had decided on buttermilk pancakes.

"How is the food? Would you like anything else? Syrup or honey maybe?" a waiter asked when they stopped by to make sure the couple didn't need anything else.

"It's good, I'm fine, I don't need anything. Jimin?" Jungkook said to the waiter before turning to Jimin to make sure Jimin was fine as well.

"No, I'm good too. Thank you." Jimin said to the waiter with a smile. The waiter nodded and went off to check on another table.

"The servers here are nice," Jungkook commented.

"Yea, they have good customer service." Jimin agreed.

"Anyway open your mouth Jimin," Jungkook said all of a sudden.

"Why?" Jimin questioned but then realized what Jungkook wanted when Jungkook placed his fork with a bit of his pancake on them in front of Jimin's lips. Jimin complied and opened his mouth so Jungkook could feed him. Jimin chewed the offered food, savoring the flavor.

"How is it?" Jungkook asked.

"Hmm...good. But mine are way better." Jimin declared taking a bit of his pancakes onto his fork and stretching his arm out to offer it to Jungkook. Jungkook took the offered bite and chewed thoughtfully.

"Well?" Jimin asked wanting to hear Jungkook's opinion.

"It's good, maybe just a tad better than mine." Jungkook relented with a smile and Jimin giggled.

"Not just a 'tad'. You mean definitely better than yours!" Jimin said taking another bite of his pancakes.

"You just say that because you love strawberries," Jungkook argued looking amused.

"That I do." Jimin acknowledged.

They continued to eat and talk, Jungkook would occasionally steal pieces of Jimin's strawberry pancakes and offer his own as repayment with a cheeky smile. Jimin wasn't bothered by any of it but he pretended to be irritated and called Jungkook a brat, which only made Jungkook laugh. Jimin actually finished his food since he was now in the habit of eating breakfast thanks to Jungkook. After they finished their food, Jungkook told Jimin to wait in the car while he paid.

"I can pay for myself." Jimin insisted.

"I know. But I want to pay so let me." Jungkook persisted.

"..But you always pay. You only let me pay for that one date." Jimin said frowning.

"I like paying for things when it comes to you. I like treating you. Please let me pay?" Jungkook requested.

"...Fine but I'm paying next time. I should be allowed to treat you as well. It's not just you who gets fulfillment out of treating others" Jimin said.

"Ok next time you can. Promise." Jungkook responded and so Jimin went to the car to wait for Jungkook just as requested. When Jungkook got into the driver's seat he placed a box on Jimin's lap before starting the engine.
