You're Annoying ( And Kinda Hot But I'd Never Say It Aloud) I Jikook

// Chapter 5 //

Jeon Jungkook was a coward.

He was a foolish foolish coward.

He was too scared to express how he really felt, too afraid to show how much he loved and missed the shorter boy. And maybe that was the reason why it all ended up like this.

With Jungkook running and cowering away from his feelings, frightened of what could be.

And this had to change.

All of this had to change, because he can't keep hiding, and frankly, he can't stay away from Jimin. He doesn't want to.

And so, with a heavy mind, and a heavier heart, he decides to listen to Jin for once.

He'd finally face his feelings instead of running away from them.

And he'd finally confess to Jimin.

~•~

He got off the bench, and went to where Jimin and Yoongi was still talking.

"Jimin hyung..", Jungkook calls out, causing both Jimin and Yoongi to turn and look at him.

"Yeah..?", Jimin says, raising his eyebrows at the boy who looked at anywhere else but at Jimin.

"Can we talk?", Jungkook says, rubbing the nape of his neck (it was a nervous habit of his).

Jimin's eyes widened ever-so-slightly at that, but he regained his posture soon enough. He turned around to face the taller boy properly and said, "Yeah, sure. What is it Jungkook?".

Jungkook internally scowled at that. He liked it better when Jimin called him Kookie (Jimin didn't need to know that though).

"Uh..can we talk..in like..private?", he says slowly, eyeing Yoongi in fear of the boy bursting at him. But all he did was glare.

Jimin coughs in surprise and says "S-sure" . He blushed lightly as he followed Jungkook with timid steps. ( He was glad it was nighttime, or else Jungkook would've seen the crimson red tint of his cheeks.)

They stood under what seemed to be the biggest tree of the forest park, Jungkook leaned against the tree and sighed. He didn't know what to say or how to say it. He sucked at communicating and expressing. But he had the will to at least try. For Jimin, he'd try.

"So...", Jimin drawled out after a while of thick silence, "What is it?", he asked, worrying on his bottom lip. And Jungkook thought he looked ethereal under the moonlight. Jungkook felt his throat go dry, "I..", he started but stopped himself again, Oh my god he actually is actually doing this, he's going to confess to Park fucking Jimin, holy shit.

"Look, I don't have forever to wait, either you tell me whatever it is or I'm leaving-", Jimin said coldly but was interfered by Jungkook.

"I think I like you.", he said in a quiet murmur, looking at the older boy with earnest eyes. Jimin sputtered at that, he chuckled, "W-what?", he said, not believing his ears.

Jungkook meekly shook his head, No, he didn't just think he liked Jimin, "No..I know I like you, Jimin", he said daintily, almost faintly.

Jimin still didn't believe his ears. Shell shocked, he just stared at the taller boy, who looked back at him with so much fondness, he almost believed his words. He chuckled airily, looking down to will away the tears brimming in his eyes. "You don't mean that, Jungkook-ah", he said vulnerably. And Jungkook looked so crestfallen.

You don't mean it, so please stop acting like you do.

"I do mean it, Jimin. ", Jungkook said sternly. "Hell, I might as well even be in love with you I-"
