In Front Of You - Jikook

-twenty-four-

(A/N) Hey! It's me~ I'm really sorry that I haven't been updating in a while. No lie, I've been having a hard time writing and this was the only time I had more ideas for this book. I have several other ideas for new works but I decided that I'd rather finish this book first or have a stable schedule of posting this story before I publish more upcoming books! Thank you, everyone, for being so patient and I hope you guys enjoy~

The two males laid in Jimin's bed in silence. Both were on their phones, the comfortable quietness settled in as the night carried on. A soft breeze swept in the room, the airy curtains slightly moving with it like a mellow dance. The barista likes opening his bedroom window during night time, it made him feel comfortable and light, calming to its cool caress.

However, the wind isn't the only thing making him feel that way tonight. The older male set his phone down his chest, the only radiating light source shone from Jungkook's phone. He turned his body towards the younger, Jungkook unknowing of the soft looks from his hyung. He studied his face, something he's been doing a lot since they met. His gaze slowly trailing from the wide puffy eyes to his pinkish lips. A small scar that you can catch in his skin and his messy hair caught his attention. Delicate features and an innocent youthful look was the perfect description, Jimin thought as he proceeded to stare at Jungkook's lips. Those pillow-like touches were gentle and kind - he could still remember the lingering kiss even if it only happened once.

It was also night and it seemed perfect. It wasn't awkward after or even confusing at all. It made things clearer than he thought. Jungkook was perfection in his eyes. The way his curiosity and innocence carried him throughout their days. The younger was a free soul, never afraid to try new things and will always give everything a shot. Sometimes, he gets too oblivious to his surroundings as he gets lost in his thoughts, the barista knowing that those were happy thoughts. The look of admiration and naivete paints the younger's expression whenever he finds something picture-worthy always brings a smile to Jimin's face. His voice and his silence were both comforting to him and he appreciates those moments. Jungkook can see a different world in his eyes and Jimin's craving of seeing it as well grows even more as he spends more time with Jungkook.

Even then, the grey-haired always has a pull of protectiveness. Moments of wanting to protect him from any harm appear out of nowhere and now he remains to feel that way. It was clear that he values Jungkook's safety a lot, even if the younger himself was careless about it. Jimin was focused on making the other happy that he didn't even realize what he felt. Now, he does.

"It's been a while since we went on an adventure." The barista whispered as he sat up and pressed his back to the wall. Jungkook instantly looked at the other and softly smiled, "Now that you say that you're right.". "Would you like to go to one?" Jimin asked, hand-combing his hair back to try and fix it. The photographer slowly sat up as well, checking his calendar straight away, "I'll have to check when my schedu-"

"I meant now." The older cut him off with a chuckle.

With a tilt of his head, Jimin knew Jungkook was confused but he didn't question it as his grin widened and he jumped off the bed. Shaking his head for a bit, Jungkook woke his body up and quickly grabbed his hyung's hands. "Let's go, let's go, let's go!" The younger bounced and threw Jimin a warm shirt. The night wasn't cold but it would be better to be sure, so they both grabbed their jackets. The older continued to shake his head in amusement and grabbed his car keys.

"Oh~Jimin-hyung is driving his car tonight~" Jungkook teased in a playful tone, earning him a harsh ruffle to his hair and a bump. "Shut up, I don't use it that much because everywhere I need to go is at walking distance." He explained before he opened up the curtains and completely lifted his window. Jimin climbed out of his bedroom window with ease and held out his hand reassuringly to the other, "Come on bunny.". With a small giggle, Jungkook followed his actions before closing the window and walked alongside the other to his car.

The younger has never been to the barista's car, only because he barely uses it. With an easy click, the car lights flashed and Jimin opened the passenger's door. "Why thank you, mister romantic." The photographer joked as he climbed inside, feeling comfortable with the leather seat. He watched closely as the older male went inside smoothly as well. The black bomber jacket with his simple shirt and jeans complimented Jimin well. He placed one hand behind the passenger seat and started going reverse. "I heard the ladies like it when guys do it, do you like it Kook?" Jimin winked before driving off to the main road. The younger just blushed and rolled his eyes, but he himself couldn't deny that his hyung indeed looked cool while he drove.

"Where are we going?" Jungkook asked like he always does whenever they go off to another Busan adventure. But like tradition, Jimin only gave him a cunning wink and a smirk, not saying a word or just replying a mischievous "You'll see.". He was getting used to the idea of the unknown, before he was scared of not knowing what he's getting into but now just comfortable to let things go through. In addition to that, it wasn't exactly the unknown, not when his Jimin-hyung is taking the wheel and taking him to his own adventure of every day. He trusts his hyung to keep him safe and protected, even if he's taking him out of his comfort zone.

They drove off in silence, not that they minded. The car had a tinge of mint, a fresh scent that was pleasant in the enclosed space. Jungkook can also smell the natural odour of the owner, a sweet but manly scent that is familiar to him, naturally making him feel calm. They drove off, passing streetlight after streetlight, shops closed and neon lighting of some bars was flashing. The city was still alive at 2 in the morning, as the younger quickly checked on his phone. He observed the people, the lights, the light shining through. They were getting further and further away from the buzz and entered a part of the city which Jungkook has never visited before. There were a few buildings and several houses lined up near the road, it was a small part of residence. It's quiet and still, but nostalgic to Jimin.

The older stopped his car in front of a three storey building. It was abandoned, anyone can tell, but it didn't look creepy at all. It felt lonely in its past lively glory, where families used to live floor on top of floors. They climbed out of the car and walked inside, the brunette following the silver-haired male's every step as he ascended the run-down stairs. The echo of their footsteps were the only noises you can hear in establishment, footsteps and the sound of dripping water. As they reached the top, the older couldn't help but smile.

Jungkook took every step incredibly slow in awe. Here he was again, Jimin's eyes stuck to the other like glue, taking note of every movement. This was the moment when Jungkook sinks in his own world, his own dreamland. He looked at the scenery with such amazement and adoration, took in every pleasant detail. His eyes were his own lenses once again. The younger reached the edge of the building, the older male felt a slight tinge of worry but Jungkook stopped at a safe distance. He slowly raised his arms to a T shape, letting the nightly wind take him to his own grounded flight.

Jimin watched and stood beside him, and even then, the brunette was full of surprises. As they both stood in front of a picture perfect view, this was the first time Jungkook's crystal eyes were closed and his lips curved as he began to sing a song to the night.
