The morning thirty nine days later

Besides this chapter I have already finished writing two other chapters oops.

Jimin felt an arm around his waist when he woke up.

It was weird, and at first, he thought he was still dreaming. But then, he realized that this felt way too real to be a dream, and there was someone else's breath hitting his neck.
It didn't take him long to remember the prior night and Jungkook and what had happened between them.

Jimin opened his eyes. He was turned away from Jungkook, but from how even his breath sounded he could guess that he was still asleep.

The sudden urge to get up and leave the room overcame Jimin, and it surprised him. He glanced at the door – no, he really shouldn't think that. He couldn't just leave Jungkook alone, there was no reason for that.
But it made sense to him as soon as he felt the pendant of the necklace he was still wearing slide down his skin when he moved a little bit.

His thoughts were with Yoongi again, and Jimin didn't know what to do to stop his mind. He was here with Jungkook, he couldn't think of Yoongi again, he had to move on. When if not now?
But Jungkook's arm around him felt so wrong, and it was only bearable when Jimin imagined that it was Yoongi's, and yesterday, they had sex – yet Jimin, Jimin could only think of Yoongi.

And when he had closed it eyes, it had felt real enough.

It was terrible and not fair. Jungkook didn't deserve this. It wasn't his fault that Jimin was still mourning over his ex.
And it occurred to Jimin that what he was doing was not only extremely hurtful to Jungkook if he found out, but also endangering their whole friendship.
If Jimin didn't get his shit together then everything would just fall apart. Then, he couldn't blame anyone for not wanting to have him around anymore.

Whatever was happening here was wrong, and Jimin knew it – but he didn't push Jungkook's arm away. Instead, when Jungkook woke up, he turned around and smiled at him and kissed him.
"Good morning," he said.
Jungkook sleepily blinked at him. "Morning," he mumbled. Jimin's heart was beating hard when Jungkook's hand ran up and down his spine 

"Did you sleep well?" Jungkook asked. Jimin nodded.

"Did you?"

"Yeah."

They lay in silence for a while, Jimin's head resting on Jungkook's chest and Jungkook caressing his skin.

But of course, Jungkook couldn't stay forever, and eventually, the morning was threatening to change into noon, so Jungkook asked if he could take a shower and Jimin nodded.
So, once again, Jimin was alone with his thoughts. He sat on his bed, already dressed, and listened to the faint noises of the shower.
Okay, no – he needed to talk about this, or otherwise he would go nuts, so he grabbed his phone and quickly searched for Taehyung's contact.

It didn't even take his best friend five seconds to pick up.

"Hey," he greeted him rather happily, "Jiminie, how are you?"

"Taehyung," Jimin said without answering, "Can you, by any chance, come over today?" And, if that wasn't enough, he added, "Pretty please?"

Taehyung was startled for a moment. "Sure," he then reluctantly responded, "Did anything happen?"

"Yes," Jimin said.
He heard the shower being turned off.

"I'll see you later, yeah? Just drop by whenever you have time." And then, he hung up.
Jungkook left the bathroom shortly after and smiled at him. His hair was still damp.
"Were you talking to someone?" he asked. Jimin nibbled at his bottom lip.
"No, I didn't," he replied, then he got up. Jungkook immediately wrapped his arms around his waist when he stood in front of him.
He hummed. "I wish I could stay," he mumbled then. Jimin giggled. "Hey, it's not like we're never going to see each other ever again. I could drop by on Monday, after class."
