Calico Cat Tattoo

Chapter 8

As the sun was setting, Hob ran up to the couple.

"Hey! Let's go out! Wanna grab dinner and some drinks?!" Hobi's excited puppy eyes found Jungkook. Nervously he looked to Jimin, for any response. Jimin raised an eyebrow, showing interest but not too much.

"Ehhh, sure. I am pretty hungry." Hobi pulls Jimin under his arm.

"It's settled then! The three of us are going out!"

"Three?!" Jimin tries pulling out of Hoseok's death grip. "I didn't say I wanted to go!"

"Don't be ridiculous. Of course you want to go," Hobi winked so only Jimin could see. Jimin stammered trying to hide the blush rising.

"YA! Speak for yourself!" Jimin broke away. He regretted saying it so harshly. Jungkook's face had fallen at the thought of the older not wanting to spend any more time with him. Jimin saw a sad smile creep on his face an instant after. It hurt, more than it should have.

"I mean.." Jimin trying to backpedal. "You could've asked me first," Jimin punched Hobi's shoulder, probably a little too hard. But he was frustrated, at Hobi for putting him in this position, at Jungkook for making his heart race, and mostly at himself for being confused at this entire situation.

"Where are we going?" Jimin tries to play it off. He smiled seeing it work on Jungkook, who was smiling brightly again.

"It's XX!" Hobi pulls him in again, making Jungkook chuckle to himself. "I'll meet you guys there!" as Hobi runs off, again.

Hobi was up determined to make the couple spend more time together. Even forcing Jimin to take Jungkook to the bar and grill on his bike. He could see something stirring in his best friend, something he hadn't seen in a long time. Jungkook seemed like a good chance for him.

Jimin watches Hobi run away in utter betrayal. Looking back to Jungkook, who is staring at him, expectant.

"I guess, let's go?" he tries to smile.

"Yeah, sounds good."

This time on the bike, Jungkook was more aggressive; holding on to Jimin tightly. He wrapped his arms around Jimin's waist and leaned his body against his. Jungkook's presence, in general, made Jimin's heart do flips, but now that the boy's body was pressed against his own it felt like he would have a heart attack any moment. Jimin had to take a few more moments to straighten out his mind before driving to the bar.

He pulled into the parking lot and turned his engine off. He waited for Jungkook to pull away first before getting off.

"Thanks for the ri-"

Jungkook tripped forward. Jimin caught him and pull him into his arms. The initial shock wore off quick, but there was still the shock of Jungkook. Jimin felt like he was coursing with electricity. Jungkook's touch on his skin was like fire, his eyes unwavering, his breath so close. Jimin could lean in a couple more inches to find his lips. He was staring at his lips now, soft, pink and plump, making him lick his own. He realized Jungkook was also frozen, now looking at his own lips with a hungry look. Jungkook then found his footing, straightening himself up, but not pulling away. Instead had leaned in an inch. This position made Jimin look small compared to Jungkook. Jimin blushed hard remembering his arms still around Jungkook and standing too close for comfort.

Why is Jungkook leaning in? Is he- Jimin's thought broke when Hobi comes around the corner with his loud ass self.

"What's takin-" Hobi stops dead in his tracks and turns around on his heels. I'm going to kill him.

Jimin's arm is cold now that Jungkook was standing 3 feet away. He could see a bright blush deep in Jungkook's cheeks as he was fidgeting with his shoes. Maybe..he likes me too? Too? Was Jimin finally admitting that he had feelings for the boy? He wanted to try something, to test his heart. Jimin grabbing Jungkook's hand and pulling him towards the bar.
