Nearly a week had passed, and nothing changed in that short period which Jungkook found noteworthy.

Jimin still won't stop talking about his plans to get Jungkook to date Taehyung, which incidentally still hadn't been refined.

Jungkook cherishes the moments where Jimin isn't talking about it, but this time it's different. He's instead talking about Yoongi.

"Kookie... Yoongi still hasn't called me. Do you think he didn't like me?" Jimin asks, whining like he does sometimes. Jungkook sighs and has to muster up the courage to reassure Jimin.

"Jimin, I'm sure it's fine. It's only been a few days, anyways.." Jungkook mumbles the end of the sentence and Jimin sighs dramatically. Jimin falls back onto the younger's bed, rolling over to stare at his phone.

"Kookie... I've been waiting too loOONG.." The orange-haired male's voice raises and becomes deeper in order to exaggerate his suffering.

Jungkook stands up from his chair and strides over to Jimin. "Do you really think I care about that?" He asks, folding his arms making Jimin pout. "Besides, I just want you to be safe.. he works at a club, for fuck's sake." Jimin sighs in response. He's about to reply but his voice is cut off by a ring on his phone. Jimin's eyes widen in shock.

"YOONGI!!" He screams, answering the phone and taking a breath before saying "hello" in the cutest voice he could muster. Jungkook blushes because when Jimin said hello, he was looking directly into the younger's eyes.

Jimin gets up and goes into another room to talk to Yoongi. Jungkook heaves out a large breath and he wipes his face in his hands before falling onto the bed where Jimin previously lay.

Jungkook feels the warmth from Jimin's body still lingering on the soft bedsheets, and he smiles, tracing shapes with his fingertips onto the cozy fabric. As he inhales, he can smell Jimin's shampoo and it's intoxicating. How badly he wants to smell that all the time, he wants to hold Jimin's warmth all the time.

The brunette is awoken from his trance when he hears a knock at the door. He gets up and opens the door to be met with his friend.

"Hey Taehyung." Jungkook says, sighing a little because the last time the pair had seen each other was when Jungkook confessed to him. Taehyung nods in response, and pushes himself past Jungkook.

As the skinny man walks past briskly, Jungkook can smell a musk of marijuana dropping in the air. He turns up his nose, since not long ago he'd been smelling a much nicer fragrance.

When Jungkook closes the door, he turns to see Taehyung sitting at the kitchen table, his feet up on the table. Jungkook taps at Taehyung's vans and the elder rolls his eyes, dramatically pulling his feet off the table. He leans forward to the plate of cookies on the table and takes one.

Jungkook watches Taehyung in silence, and when the elder notices, he raises his eyebrows in confusion before dropping the subject.

"So, where's Jimin?" Taehyung says through a mouth of crumbs.

Jungkook rolls his eyes, remembering where Jimin had disappeared to. "He's in the other room talking to Yoongi on the phone."

Taehyung's eyes widen and he swallows his food harshly. "Wait, Yoongi? You mean the same Yoongi who tried to rape Jimin only a week ago?"

Jungkook sighs, sitting in the chair opposite his hyung. "The very one. But neither of them remember that ever happening.. all they remember is flirting with each other that night."

Taehyung shakes his head and scoffs. "So what, they've got a thing for each other now? That's not right, man." Taehyung says. Jungkook nods. "How are you feeling?" The elder tries to change the subject.

"Not good. What with Yoongi and Jimin and us apparently being set up, I'm kind of stressing out big time." Jungkook replies, looking at the floor.

"Wait, hold up. Us? Set up?" Taehyung replies, holding his hands up to stop the broken record that is Jungkook.

Jungkook laughs. "Yeah.. Jimin found my laptop and he found out I'm in love with someone. He thinks it's you and he's trying to set us up."

Taehyung scoffs. "Yeah right." He looks away from the younger. "Does it seem like he's actually trying?"

Jungkook shakes his head. "Not particularly. He's been mostly saying over and over again how he's gonna get us together but now lately he's been distracted by Yoongi."

Taehyung looks back at the brunette. "I still can't believe they may go out now.. I mean, it was only a short while ago that Yoongi hurt him. Why haven't you said anything?"

Jungkook takes a deep breath and pushes it out through pursed lips, before replying anxiously, not really knowing how to answer. "I-I don't really know. I guess I'm still kind of in denial. Why the fuck would someone hurt Jimin like that? He's so fucking perfect, and his skin is like a god damn blank canvas that doesn't dare be painted on-" Jungkook is cut off when Jimin reappears.

Jimin comes out into the kitchen and holds his phone against his chest, blushing madly and smiling. Jungkook's heart does a flip when he sees it, but then the happiness he feels drops when he realizes why Jimin must be smiling.

Jimin sees Taehyung staring with his nose scrunched up and Jimin turns his own nose up at him before laughing. Jungkook loves to hear that laugh. Jungkook feels himself melt a little and Jimin catches the younger staring.

"I get it. You want to know what's up." Jimin says, waving his phone.

Taehyung scoffs again. "Hardly."

Jimin whacks Taehyung up the side of the head, making Taehyung yelp and glare at the elder.

Jimin giggles before revealing the obvious. "Yoongi and I have a date next week!" He says gleefully, his lips curling up again and his eyes disappearing into crescent moons, and Jungkook swears his heartstrings tear. The brunette wishes he was the one making Jimin smile so lovingly, the one making Jimin blush like a teenager with a crush. But alas, only Yoongi could do that.

"And we care because...?" Taehyung asks again. Jimin glares at him and jolts forward, Taehyung flinching in response and laughing. Jungkook just sits there staring at his feet with his hands between his knees.

Jimin strides over to the sad-looking boy and puts his hand in his hair, ruffling it. "Don't worry, big guy." He says. Jungkook blushes at the cute nickname, one you'd use for a puppy. Jimin whispers the next words into the brunette's ear and they make Jungkook shiver in fear.

"You can bring Tae along too."
