Jungkook doesn't know what happened to him that made him this way.

Not the fucking-around-but-never-dating part. He knows how that happened. Somewhere between his parents' constant arguing and the day his father moved into a pretty house with a pretty girlfriend and left his mother in a shitty apartment with his grandmother, him, and his two younger siblings, Jungkook stopped believing in relationships.

He's never seen one that actually worked out, and he's pretty sure that speaks for itself. Hoseok and Sana are the only ones that he's seen go pretty steady for a good bit, but he doesn't tell them that really, truthfully, he doesn't even believe in them as a relationship.

What Jungkook doesn't know is what happened to him that made him crave Park Jimin's affection.

He doesn't even like the guy. He's a pretentious, arrogant, stuck-up prick, and he wasn't even that good in bed.

Okay, that's a lie. Jungkook still gets hard thinking about that tongue on his dick, but his point is that he'd like to stop thinking about that tongue on his dick sometime soon.

But usually when he gets infatuated with people, he just wants to bone them again. He never does, never has and never will, he just wants to. But it's different with Jimin.

Of course it's fucking different with Jimin.

He certainly wouldn't mind sleeping with him again. But he kind of also wouldn't mind doing, like... other stuff. Jungkook doesn't know what normal people do. He's been with the same group of friends since middle school and all they usually do is get coffee and in trouble.

Not like dating or anything. He just wants to find out more about him and he kind of wants Jimin to find out more about him too.

He already cracked a little when Jimin, what feels like forever ago, told him that Jimin thought he's an asshole. He couldn't take it. It got so bad so quickly that he abandoned all his careful plans and told Jimin about the whole thing with Taehyung's parents like five minutes later. When it's someone Jungkook likes, he can't bear knowing that they think he's trash.

No, no... he did not like Jimin.

And after that smooth one-liner about the problem child trope, maybe Jimin is more open to the possibility of Jungkook being an actual human instead of just a walking leather jacket cliché.

His thoughts are just going around in circles at this point, and maybe this is all because Sana and Hoseok went on a date tonight and Taehyung let him crash here but had to go to bed early himself because he has some stupid exam tomorrow morning or whatever.

Jungkook might be a little grouchy because his friends are out there having lives, Sana and Hoseok are out there being a couple and all romantic and shit, Taehyung's busy with studies.

Jungkook has his phone in his hands thinking about messaging either Sana or Hoseok just to disrupt their date for five minutes or so, when a door opens, and now a cranky looking Jimin is standing in the hallway, squinting at the leg Jungkook has thrown over the back rest.

"Can't sleep?" Jungkook asks airily. He's looking back at his phone screen, which tells him it's just past two in the morning.

Jimin just offers a quiet grunt. "It's my first night off after working six in a row," he mutters. "My body hasn't really processed yet that it's allowed to sleep for once."

When Jungkook just nods, Jimin shuffles off into the kitchen, and Jungkook realizes that he can't remember what he was going to do on his phone.

This is horrible.

He ends up playing games until Jimin scuffs into the living room with a bowl of cereal in his hands. He's listening to Jimin chew and clink his spoon against the bowl.

It's not a nice noise or anything. It's actually kinda gross. But it keeps reminding him that Jimin is right there, and they're not even talking.

Jungkook locks his phone and throws it in his lap so he can sit up and stare Jimin down. "You wanna do something fun?" he says.

Jimin stares back. "Is that an innuendo?"

"No," Jungkook rolls his eyes, "I don't sleep with people twice."

Again, Jimin mimics his action right back at him and rolls his eyes, too. "Of course you don't."

When Jungkook keeps watching him instead of backing down, he frowns. "What do you have in mind? Is this something that'll get me arrested?"

"If you're majorly untalented in the art of fucking around, sure." Jungkook shrugs. "But mostly it's just gonna be fun. No one's getting hurt, in case you were assuming that."

"No, I know you don't hurt people," Jimin says to his bowl of cereal. Jungkook tries to ignore the smile that's trying to tug on his lips. It's good that Jimin knows that, is all.

"Do I have to put on real pants and leave the house for this?"

"Sweats are real pants," Jungkook decides after squinting under the table to the dark blurry outline of Jimin's legs.

"But you'd be leaving the house, yeah. I'd be taking you somewhere I always go when I'm on my own at night. One of my favorite pastimes."

"Sana and Hoseok on a date again?" Jimin asks, and Jungkook sighs heavily.

"Yeah. It's gross."

"Taehyung thinks they're cute. Don't you think your anti-dating stance gets in your way sometimes?"

Jungkook heaves an even louder sigh. "Look, Romeo, you wanna sit here and discuss dating over stale cereal, or you wanna go outside and have some fun with me?"

Jimin looks up at him to consider this, and for a second, Jungkook thinks that this might just sum them up. Jimin can be super fucking intimidating, but really, he's into the soft lifestyle. He doesn't like casual flings, he helps his buddy get back in touch with his old friend and then even moves in with him and treats him like a brother, he goes to all his classes and, according to Taehyung, has mindblowing grades.

He's soft, he's nice, he's something Jungkook would find bland in every other person, but it's the fact that Jimin is soft and nice with everyone but him that makes him interesting. But the point is, he's not someone who does shit like Jungkook. He's someone who stays home and eats cereal in sweat pants.

"I'll be with you in a second," Jimin says, before he pulls on some sneakers and leaves the apartment at half past two, to go outside and have some fun with Jungkook.
