"So where shall we eat?" Jimin asked as they walked side by side. Jungkook shrugged, not knowing what to suggest to the older. He felt agitated the moment Jimin enfolded his hands around Jungkook's shoulders so casually. His blood rushed to his cheeks with what Jimin had done.

It's a good thing that it's getting dark, a cue that it's already night and there's only like few students present in the university, mostly people who attend night classes, at least they aren't attracting anyone's attention at all, which Jungkook feared so much and for an unknown reason.

"Seriously, where should we eat?"

"I don't know. I mean you're the one who's going to treat me here so... shouldn't it be you who's deciding that?" Jimin chuckled with Jungkook's modesty. The older finds Jungkook so cute he can't stop himself from giggling.

"You know, you should start getting yourself used to me. Be comfortable with my company. It's not like I'll bite you or something," Jimin laughed and even hit Jungkook in the arms as he drew the young man closer to him with his arm still wrapped around Jungkook's shoulders.

"But I am. And frankly it is a new thing for me. This is a new thing for me. Being comfortable with someone, with you is definitely a first." Jungkook affirmed and lowered his head knowing it was a sudden revelation he had to make.

"Aww? Am I making some history in your life? Because if so, wow I feel so honored." Jimin timidly said and messed up Jungkook's hair.

"I should be the one to feel honored for having someone named Park Jimin coexisting in my life."

"A freakin' coy you are, Jeon Jungkook. But that's too sweet of you," Jimin said as they arrived at the parking lot. "There's my car, do you happen to have yours here, too?"

"Nope, I don't really drive for myself. My parents prefer to have our family's driver to accompany and fetch me all the time." Jungkook retorted, trace of annoyance lingering in his tone. The older guffawed with how Jungkook delivered his words.

"That hella sucks."

"You bet." Jungkook exclaimed and rolled his eyes.

"Well then, you're welcome to my humbly abode." Jimin said as he brought out his car keys and commanded his car unlocked.

"Your humbly abode? Don't tell me that's your home?" Jungkook amusingly said as they both hopped on the car. "But then I take back my suspicions. With such elegance, I'd love to live here."

"Well, you could say that. The only thing I ran onto whenever I want to escape the odds." With how Jimin said it, it sure felt meaningful, or so Jungkook thought. As the car accelerated, he stared at Jimin who just looks so serious and focused on his driving after of what he had said.

"You mean like a safe haven? Like your comfort zone?" Jungkook warily said, seeking for some answers to clarify his qualms regarding the man. Could it be that they were both living on the same life, not having it under their control but rather of the elders and the society itself?

"Seems so fitting for a wanderer's soul like me, eh? But yeah, whenever it feels like the world's falling part for me, travelling with no destination always soothes me like nothing else. How I submerge with the wind whenever I accelerate faster with this vehicle, how I feel so grand whenever I travel like I know where I'm going when the truth is, I have no particular destination at all." Jimin shared, voice filled with so much glee and pleasure, as if he was merely speaking about the most beloved thing of his life. Jungkook couldn't help but smile as he saw glint of pleasure within the older's eyes. He sure must have loved travelling so much.
