A/N: They're such adorable dorks :>  

Jimin sighs after he reached the floor where his room is situated. He feels relieved but somehow a tad nervous, listening to his snickers landing softly on the marbled floor, he scrunches his eyebrows when he thinks of Jungkook, the young cop who has the power to control him. It's also Jimin's fault when he decided to give in so easily. Now that he's with the cop to investigate the case of poisoning, at least that's what Jimin notices about the files Jungkook gave and told him to go home and give it a quick read tonight before getting down to business. He glances at his lock screen on which the number 6:00 p.m shines brightly and that's when he decides to knock on Hoseok's door to check on his conditions. 

"Coming!!"

 He hears Hobi's distant yelling from the bathroom, he must have been showering before Jimin had knocked. A series of shuffling becomes louder and the door swings open revealing an orange-haired Hoseok wearing a simple white tank top and short with a fluffy towel wrapped around his neck which he's drying his hair with. 

"OH MY FREAKING GOD JIMIN!!" 

No sooner had Jimin greeted him did Hoseok engulf him in a tight hug, merely suffocating him until he pinches his friend's sides. They laugh audibly as Hoseok welcome Jimin in his room. Three days away from here but Jimin has missed the place already. He misses how frequent and casual he would walk into Hoseok's room and being taken aback by whatever-the-hell Hoseok's doing, for instance, a load of beer cans are scattered all over his table right now and Jimin has to clean it up while Hoseok makes tea. He misses the warmth welcoming him, from both the flat and from Hoseok and most importantly, his sunshine smile that makes his eyes go "crescent" whenever the smile is on display.

"So Minmin-sshi," Jimin gladly receives the mug of tea after setting his bag on the softly carpeted floor. He notices under Hobi's eyes are bags, which makes him all the more worried inside. He looks at the lemon-scented liquid as it reflects himself, feeling the tepidness warming up his cold hands. "Where were you these days? And you didn't text nor call me back?"

"Errm.. Long story. In a nutshell, it's crazy." The pink-haired boy answers and takes a sip of the tea. The warm liquid trails down his throat slowly followed by the sweetness of sugar cubes and a hint of lemony sourness. "I was caught by a stupid armed bloke."

"Jimin, they have specific names for a job," Hoseok's tone flattens. "At least don't say that to them, they'll sentence you in jail for a lifetime, yeah?"

Jimin scoffs. He doesn't want to think of the seductive young cop again.

"Did they do anything specific to you?"

Yeah they do. One seduced me and I nearly fell head over heels, worse, he's a cop!

Too pity that only happened in Jimin's thoughts.

"Oh yeah, they.. just keep me inside, i don't know, a dog's cage for like three days."

"Cops, always cops." Hoseok tsks and lightly shakes his head. "I guess that there are reasons for your release?"

"Hm.. Nice try but you'll know soon enough." Jimin smirks while trying to hide the fact that his friend's bar is going to be closed in a few days for investigation. His palms are sweating and his face is heating up any second.

"Can't wait for it, though." Hoseok answers in a mocking tone. "Because, too bad, I've already known why. Just testing how truthful you are to your friend."

Jimin rolls his eyes playfully while sipping the tea since he can't talk while drinking. Putting the emptied mug down, he sits on Hoseok's comfy bed, taking his snickers and socks off. 

"Well, the bar is going to be closed temporarily and we're going to have to deal with unpleased customers..." Hoseok trails off and raises his eyebrows, indicating he has already known about the issue. 

"Okay fine fine," Jimin laughs and waves his hand for Hoseok to stop hinting. "So yeah, maybe you can call me a "buddy-in-crime" with that cop now."

"Shit, you work with him? How did you get yourself into th-"

"He forced me to do it." Jimin says and lies down on the bed to hide his now rosy cheeks. Luckily, the lights are dim and a yellow hue so Hoseok can't make out the blush easily. 

"I'd love to see how he managed to force you into this crap." Hoseok deeply chuckles and plops himself on the bed next to Jimin. His foot touches the soft carpet while Jimin's are dangling in the air. "You're not the kind that gives up easily, are you.."

"That's the damn thing here." Jimin groans while lacing his fingers into his hair. He frowns but his lips are tugged upwards due to the tingly happiness inside his stomach. "I don't know why..."

"But I think maybe I've fallen for him, Hoseok..."

Silence fills the rooms and the frist one to break the silence is Hobi.

"Are you drugged? Cause I think you are on an overdose." He looks down at Jimin. "You need rehab?"

"Ugh, Nooo," Jimin stresses and gets up, hugging one of Hoseok's giant kumamons. "Sounds pretty stupid but yes, this is the disgusting and bloody truth."

"You said you merely fell for him." 

"What is the difference between them anyway. Merely fell is just as the same as fell, one more push and you'll fell into that forbidden pit called 'crushing'." Jimin air-quotes and in retrospect, maybe he hopes that his business with Jungkook will keep the relationship going. Though sometimes cocky and unlikable the cop might be, he will still be there to support him no matter what...

But first, he must think of a way to help Hoseok.

"Hor-, OUCH!" Jimin rubs the spot which he's previously hit. 

"You may call me a hoe, at least I know that I'm pretty but horse is such a no no for me okay?" Hoseok pretends to flip his imaginary long hair. "What was on your mind?"

"Oh, it's just um.. You need help with anything at the bar?" 

Hoseok looks at him then beams brightly, he ruffles Jimin's hair due to the height difference and assures me the bar will be unharmed. Only a bit, the cops will have to pay. Jimin laughs both because of his hyung's humor and nervousness himself. He wonders if he should tell him about this but Hoseok will have a chance to meet Jungkook soon and sees his face every single day...

Because Jungkook is about to move in to live with Jimin.
