Shouts.
Shouts and screams.
That's what Jungkook hears from the inside of his apartment.
He'd let Jimin break up with Yoongi there. Jungkook stands outside the room, awaiting Yoongi's hasty departure.
"What happened to the way you defended me at the carnival, huh?" Yoongi's voice is loud, and Jungkook can hear Jimin's sobs.
"I didn't believe it! I never thought someone I loved could hurt me like that!" Jimin shouts back, his voice cracking in pain. Jungkook wants to swing the door open and console his best friend, but he has to let Jimin do this. "Besides, that's not the point anymore. It's more important that you insulted my best friend."
Jungkook heats Yoongi scoff. "Listen to you. You're so easy to manipulate. You really think I loved you? All it took was a couple glances at your ass for you to give in. And you think I wouldn't conclude that you're a slut? That I wouldn't share your nudes with my friends? I thought you'd like it. That it'd turn you on." Yoongi is less angry now and more cocky.
Jimin stutters, like he's about to retort again. However Yoongi finishes the conversation. "Whatever, Jimin. We're done. Hoseok and I don't need your nudes anymore. Hoseok would rather have mine, anyways."
Jungkook hears footsteps and Yoongi swings the door open and shut before making intimidating eye contact with Jungkook. Jungkook gulps and pushes past the elder into the apartment.
He comes face to face with Jimin on the floor, crying into his small hands. "Why did he remind me of all that?" Jimin sobs.
Jungkook slides down the wall and puts an arm around Jimin. "I don't know."
Jimin takes his hands away, looking down. "Why does every boyfriend I have end up using me for my body?" He covers his face once again. "I hate how fucking sexy I am. One look at my ass and everyone assumes I'm a cockslut. No one understands that all I want is someone who'll actually care about me and not just my body."
Jungkook thinks for a moment. Is this the right time? Maybe. His gut twists uncomfortably and he has to take this opportunity.
"I will." Jungkook says, his voice shaky. Jimin laughs and Jungkook starts to feel scared. Why did he laugh? Does he think it's a joke? No no no, that's not how it's supposed to work. It's not supposed to be funny.
"I mean someone more than a friend." Jimin is blushing too, and obviously in discomfort. Jungkook gulps, hiding the result of his rejection which of course, was the product of his backfired confession.
"R-right." Jungkook says. The pair are silent and it's clear Jimin is keeping something hidden from the younger but Jungkook doesn't address it.
"You know what, Jungkook?" Jimin asks, a sudden source of courage seeming to flow from his mouth. Jungkook looks over to his crush, waiting for a continued sentence. "I can't keep lying about this."
Jungkook cocks an eyebrow up in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Jimin shifts, so now he's sitting with his legs crossed in front of Jungkook. He gestures with his hands.
"First of all," He puts up his index finger. "What is your relationship status with Taehyung?"
Jungkook blushes, remembering Taehyung's crush on him, and he plays along with the red haired man's "game." "He's my boyfriend." Jungkook has to choke the word out. Hopefully Jimin doesn't notice the obvious give-away for his lie.
Jimin looks down, disappointed. "Oh." The orange haired boy is about to give up, but he forces himself to keep going. "You know what? I'm not going to let that keep me from telling you the truth. I'm tired of hiding." Jimin takes a breath. "Jungkook, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't care if this breaks you and Taehyung up because I honestly don't care."
Neither do I, Jungkook thinks.
"Second of all. Thank you so much for saving me on your birthday. It means a lot." Jimin looks down shyly, obviously stalling so he doesn't have to tell his real secret.
Jungkook rolls his eyes. "Okay, you're welcome. Now get to the point, short-stack." The brunette ruffles Jimin's hair, and Jimin looks up, his eyes large and glistening.
"I hate it when I see you and Taehyung getting all mushy together. I hate it so much. I want something like that. What I'm trying to say is... Jungkook, I..." Jimin starts. Jungkook smiles.
"Actually, no." Jungkook puts a finger to Jimin's lips. "Me first." This interaction has given Jungkook a splurge of confidence, which he doesn't normally get, and he has to use it to his advantage.
"Jimin, do you know why I was in the bathroom in the first place?" Jungkook asks.
Jimin shrugs. "I dunno. I guess you were taking a leak?"
Jungkook laughs. "Jiminie, I used the washroom 20 minutes before that."
Jimin rolls his eyes. "How was I supposed to know that? I was drunk!"
Jungkook giggles. "Whatever. Not the point. I was in there because I.. I was crying."
Jimin's eyes widen. "Why?"
"It was right after you and Yoongi took off." Jungkook says, looking down. He takes a breath and looks back up into Jimin's eyes. "Jimin, when I saw you leave with Yoongi, I was heartbroken. I guess that's because I..."
His words are cut off by a muffled gasp.
Jungkook feels his whole heart explode and he tenses.
Jimin's lips are soft and plump, just as Jungkook had always imagined. There's no strawberry Nivea lip balm this time, but it's just as intoxicating if not more.
Jungkook suddenly realizes he's not moving. He has to move, or else it's awkward.
The brunette begins moving his lips in sync with Jimin's, closing his eyes and basking in the event he's wanted for years. He can't help but smile into the kiss, feeling Jimin's lips curl along with his own. His face heats and a blush invades his imperfect skin, but it doesn't stop him. He continues kissing the orange haired man, enjoying every second and not wanting it to ever end.
Because, god damn it...
He is kissing Jimin.
The pair stay interlocked for a few more seconds, Jimin's hands threatening to caress Jungkook's shoulders. But Jimin pulls away for air, making Jungkook whine in annoyance. He wants more.
