hybrid

twenty-three

bids of sweat was forming in the corners of his face, his neck filled with the wet substance as he moved from places to places. "kindly hand me that red thingy, baby." he pants, referring to the screw driver beside the said man.

jimin smiled, pushing himself off his seat as he handed jungkook the screw driver, earning a kiss on the nose from the human as he crouched down to fix his stuck up vehicle.

the hybrid remained standing beside him, curious as to what jungkook was doing. this didn't go unseen by the said man and turned to the dog with a questioning look, both his brows raised as he asks. "what is is, baby?" jimin only pointed at the car, his face scrunched into confusion.

"oh, this?" jungkook poined towards the hood of the car, earning a small nod from the hybrid. "i'm trying to fix it, jiminie." he smiled, flashing him hid adorable bunny teeth.

"geuki fix car?" jimin asks in amusement, his eyes wide like he couldn't believe what jungkook just said. the human could only giggle and pinch the hybrid's cheeks, immediately regretting as jimin's once clean cheeks was stained with a charcoal coloured dust.

jungkook found the sight highly adorable, grinning as he reaches to cup the hybrid's cheeks once more, a soft giggle emitting from his lips. jimin on the other hand, remained clueless and lost as he tilted his head to the side, wondering what had brought his precious jungkookie to smile so heavenly.

"y-you're adorable, minie." jungkook managed to say in between laughs. "so cute~" he cooed, pinching both the hybrid's cheeks and laughing as it now turned a bit dark, almost as if jimin had dived into a puddle of dust.

jungkook broke into fits of laughter, his bunny smile in full display. his head would lean back from time to time, unable to contain his giggles. and jimin could only stand there, his insides cluttered and his mind going hazy as it was filled with many thoughts pertaining to how could jungkook be this beautiful.

the human remained clueless to the hybrid's stares and just went on with his silliness, sticking a finger to his trunk and reached to slide it across jimin's forehead this time. the dog on the other hand, only smiled. his tail curling in his leg and his ears resting low against his fringe. he looked exactly like a boy who's seeing such masterpiece for the first time.

jimin watched fondly as jungkook laughed. for him, it is a privilege to make or even hear the human's angelic chuckles. to see the beautiful curve gracing his lips was such a remarkable sight for the hybrid. he liked jungkook's smile— love even. he just likes seeing jungkook happy in general.

as a couple of moments, a few laughs emitting from the human's lips, jungkook grew anxious at the hybrid's lack of reaction. his laugh slowly died down, and the smile slowly vanishing from his face as it turned into worry. "jimin? are you okay?" he asks, his voice sweet and gentle.

but shock waved over him when instead of answering, a tear rolled down the hybrid's cheeks. he immediately became alert, rushing to the hybrid's side as fast as he could. he could feel a pang of guilt in his chest, cupping the hybrid's cheeks in between his hands. "baby, i'm sorry." he apologised, "i thought it was funny, i'm sorry."

jungkook couldn't help but frown when a small smile made it's way to the hybrid's lips, tears still cascading down his cheeks. he reached to wipe the tears away, looking at jimin straight in the eyes. "baby, what's wrong?" he cooed, resting his forehead against the hybrid's and not giving the slightest fuck that it was covered in oil and dust. "why are you crying? did i upset you? tell me, baby, please." he found himself whispering.

for some reasons, jimin shook his head, the smile still etched in his glorious plump lips. and to say jungkook was frustrated is a total understatement. the hybrid never cried unless he did something wrong. but why the fuck is he smiling?

"g-geuki is good," jimin murmured, leaning up to brush his nose against the human. jungkook was taken a back by the gesture, his eyes briefly growing wide. "– geuki is so beautiful. jimin is in love."

jungkook froze, his heart skipping a beat as he hears those words again. he had heard jimin confess his love for like so many times now, but still it never fails to make him feel all flustered and shy. the words just sounded so sincere, so true and full of honesty that jungkook feels like he was hearing it for the first time all over again.

"i.." he hears jimin start, his face troubled like he was trying to say the words without using his usual baby talks. "l-love..." he watched as jimin frowned, opening his mouth to continue, only to close it back again.

"one more word, jimin." jungkook found himself closing his eyes, a certain feeling bubbling up his chest as he snakes his arms around the hybrid's waist. "just one more word, baby. one more." he whispered, almost too desperately as if he was pleading and begging for jimin to say those words again.

"i..l-love.." he hears jimin try again, causing for jungkook to bite his lip in anticipation. he could feel his heart thumping fast as his grip on jimin tightens, eyes still closed as he waits for those three words to be released and completed in one sentence. why does he want to hear it so bad? he honestly have no clue why.

"jim–"

"you," jimin said the same time, followed by a soft giggle. "i...l-love you," he completed.

jungkook felt his chest constricting. like he was being choked, air cut off from his very lungs. it was like he was breathless. his mind going ballistic and his insides going insane. and the next thing he knows, he was claiming those magnificent lips, savouring it like he was kissing jimin for the first time.

he could feel a wave of warmth over his being, a certain euphoria running through his very veins as he smiled through the kiss, suddenly feeling teary-eyed as he pulls the hybrid closer.

"jimin?" he managed to call in between their kiss, earning a small moan to emit from the dog's lips before he hears him hum. jungkook pulled away from the kiss, locking with the hybrid's breathtaking hazel ones, before speaking of the words his lips have longed to speak.

"– i think i'm in love too,"
