All his life Jungkook had wondered about himself - why he was born, what he was supposed to do in life, what was his passion - but he had never thought much about his sexuality. At least until Park Jimin had come crashing into his life with his stupid crescent-eyed smile and rainbow personality and his chiming laughter that always seemed to warm Jungkook's heart into a disgustingly mushy liquid. And even now, Jungkook didn't want to know about his sexuality, all he knew was that he wanted to be with Jimin and Jimin alone.

"Jungkookieeeee," Hoseok's voice was loud and reverberating.

Jungkook's train of deep thoughts disappeared and he turned to Hoseok, a look of annoyance evident on his face. Hoseok automatically stepped back.

"You look like you're about to murder me." The elder spoke. "I should just... um... Jin hyung I'll help with the cooking!"

Jungkook watched silently as Hoseok ran into the kitchen. He was so lost that he didn't notice the couch dip as Taehyung took a seat next to him.

"You and Jimin are basically dating now. How do you think the world would take it?"

Jungkook didn't think. He didn't want to think.

"I don't care," he replied, looking at Taehyung. "At this point I don't care. It's my life, it's Jimin hyung's life, it's our life. Why should the world have a say in what we do?"

Taehyung almost sobbed at the words escaping the youngest's lips. He had watched Jungkook grow from a shy kid to a confident man but the Jungkook sitting beside him with burning flames in his mature eyes... Taehyung felt so, so proud.

"There," Taehyung stood, patting Jungkook's back affectionately. "That's all I wanted to hear. You both will be fine."

Jungkook stared at the smile on his hyung's face, lost and seemingly confused what he was trying to imply, but happy nonetheless. They will be fine. They will be okay. Jimin and him, they will be okay. And Jungkook would take the initiative to revealing his relationship with Jimin the very next day.
