In Front Of You - Jikook

-fourteen-

(So this chapter consists of three scenes and when I was writing it, it made sense to me as the scenes jumped from one place to another. But when my friend proof-read it for me, she was confused whenever it changed, so I just created borders. If you're confused, just ask what's happening or anything. Sorry if this chapter is messy!)

Jungkook nudged the barista's shoulder once they stepped outside the cafe. Jimin took the keys and locked the front door of Heavenly Cream, the younger asked him out of the blue "Hyung, do you wanna come to my house tonight?". Jimin's eyes widen and looked at the other, his expectant expression hard to resist "Are you sure?". The younger male nodded "Yeah, like a sleepover. You can stop by your house or you can just borrow my clothes.". Jimin thought for a while as the stood in front of the closed coffee shop, then eventually just agreed to it. "Let's get some things from my house if you don't mind walking." He said and a smile plastered on Jungkook's face "Not at all. Let's go."

The brunette's home was to the right and he normally would go there. Now that they're going to Jimin's house, it seems strange and unnatural for him to go down this road. New things make him anxious even though he has done several new things and experiences in his life, but now he felt secure and at eased. Maybe it's the doing of the grey-haired beside him, his frame moonlit by the lunar glowing and the cold streetlamps. He was great company even though they walked without much exchange, except for Jimin's soft humming to a familiar song.

Jimin's house was nearer than expected, almost the same distance as his house except for just different directions. "You can wait here or come inside. I'll only be really quick." Jimin turned on the lights and he went in quietly. The air was stiff and a bit unsettling for his liking, maybe the younger could just hear odd noises or it's just his paranoia creeping in. Jungkook took note of the location and went inside to calm his nerves. The house was simple and the interior design wasn't that special. Pale pine wood floorings spread across the living room, a square rug with some modern patterns was placed beneath a grey three seater couch, one grey sofa chair and brown coffee table. The dining table was beside it, eight white seats surrounded in. There was a white cabinet on the wall and white built-on-the-wall shelves were placed low on the ground, some framed photos placed on top of it. It was comfortable to say the least and it was honestly simplicity at its finest, it made a good job feeling guest and the owner welcomed.

The older soon came out of a room, assuming it was his bedroom. His hair swept back and he was out of his work clothes, now wearing a white cotton shirt and beige shorts that reached above his knees. Jungkook began "Uhm...hyung?". "Yeah Jungkookie?", "How about you stay until tomorrow, it's your day off anyway.". Jimin's lips curved into a smirk "You really do remember everything huh?" and the chestnut-haired boy looked down "I just remembered now, don't be too flattered." "If you say so, Kook. I'll get more clothes then."

-------------------------------------------------

"We could play some video games at my place. It's been a while since I've played too so this will be great." Jungkook said. His steps are slow and his hands are spread out. As he balanced himself on the edge, Jimin walked beside him silently. The older held his bag which was flung behind him, and he just matched his steps with the other. "Jimin-hyung?" The younger asked, noticing the distant expression on Jimin's face. The other male looked up at him "Yeah?", the younger was relieved that the glimmer in his hyung's eyes is still there, maybe his mind wasn't that far off. "What are you thinking?" he asked, "Nothing Kook, don't worry about me." Jimin flashed a small smile.

Speeding up on the ledge, Jungkook slowing broke into a run so that he could jump off in the end but maybe that wasn't a good idea. Not far from Jimin, his left foot caught up with his right when he ran. Jungkook yelped, he could feel himself falling off the height when he closed his eyes, preparing himself for the hard impact on the concrete sidewalk. Instead, thin but strong arms caught him from below, holding on to him tightly. His dark brown eyes shot open and his view set upon Jimin, a worried expression painted his face. "You shouldn't run like that. That could have hurt you if I wasn't here." He said, scanning any signs of pain on the younger but Jungkook smiled at him, reassuring him. "I'm fine hyung. Thank you." It was as if time stopped, they stayed in that position for more than necessary. Both of them couldn't take their eyes off each other, getting lost in those sparkling orbs. Unconsciously, Jimin gripped the younger tightly and Jungkook sighed. They slowly rose up and the younger smoothen his clothes. He took the lead while Jimin reached for his bag. They walked silently as they ignored the past minutes, but both were struggling to regain their composure.

------------------------------------------------

Jungkook yawned and leaned down further until he's completely laid down on the mattress. "These extra pillows are so great. I feel like I'm in a cloud." Jimin said, copying what Jungkook did. They both set down their controllers to the side and stared at the ceiling, the lights from outside turned into streaks as it peeking through the blinds. "Good thing...I found...these onesies." The younger blabbered sleepily as he looked at the blue shark onesie that Jimin is wearing. The grey-haired looked at the other, snuggled up in his pink bunny onesie, it really suits him. "We..should..." Jimin yawned, "get some...sleep.". He turned his body towards the other and stopped.

The bunny was sound asleep, curled up and softly breathing. Jimin can't help but stare at him. He looks so peaceful and angelic, completely unaware of anything. He lets his shark hood fall down, his silver locks covering his eyes but he didn't mind. He only focused on brushing the younger's brown waves out of his face to show the full view. With the older's subtle movement, the younger stirred, causing Jimin to stop abruptly but Jungkook subconsciously shift closer until he was able to rest his head on Jimin's arm.

Jimin sucked in a breathe as his glistening eyes bore into the pale face of the other. He's now closer, his beauty was all for him to see. He has flaws but he's perfectly imperfect. Jimin's heart started to beat faster but he didn't want to move away. His mind was completely blank and he just let his developing feelings overcome him. He leaned in too, his body curved so that both of them could be comfortable. The male rested his head on a spare pillow and sighed. He looked at Jungkook one more time and smiled to himself as he closed his eyes.

This place was tranquillity and the atmosphere filled with calmness. Even though this was the first time he has done anything like this to a person, he felt so silenced and at home in a way. It felt like a forever in a few minutes. And he thought as he begins to slumber:

'Maybe, just maybe.'
