Seventeen

Nervous.

Nervous was the only feeling Jungkook could feel, his stomach twisting and turning and his chest felt tight.

The little AI merely sat on a chair nearby, hands on his lap, as his eyes scanned Jungkook as he paced back and forth. And back and forth.

His head tilting slightly as he watched the younger panic.

He sat quietly, his head ticking as he tried to properly write up ways to ease the youngers anxieties.

Jimin thought of how Jungkook would swipe his hair back, or place his hand on his arm, or the way he rests his forehead on his own. Jimin knew it, deep down that if he was able to truly feel it, it might have calmed him, or made him less panicked so he stood up, a determined look now making a debut on his features.

He strides over, firmly stopping in front of Jungkook, and the younger stopped in his tracks, looking at Jimin with a confused glance.

Jimin merely smiled at him softly, and Jungkook felt something thump in his chest once the AI slid his hands around the sides of Jungkooks neck gently.

"W-wha"

Jungkook was cut off once Jimins fingers cradled the side of his neck and the AI leaned up on the tip of his toes as he gently pressed his forehead into Jungkooks.

Jungkooks warmth instantly shifted into the AI, causing the bot to close his eyes. The youngers eyes lowered as he took a deep breath in, feeling himself calm instantly.

Jimins thumbs rubbed soothing circles, a small hum escaping past his soft lips. Jungkook then raised his own hands and cradled Jimins smaller ones. He no longer felt anxiety, or panic, instead now he was left feeling calm and confused.

Confused because, he simply couldn't understand.

Why the AI had such an affect on him, Jungkook knew it had nothing to do with the fact he looked like his Park Jimin.

He felt it deep down, past the flesh of his chest and straight into his heart. Like it was yearning, and calling and screaming.

Screaming incoherent words that Jungkook just couldn't seem to process yet.

He didn't love the AI, no. It was more then that. It was...

It was almost like his heart was reaching for the small sweet AI in front of him, reaching and grabbing and stretching just to be near him.

Aching to touch him.

It beat so loudly, his heart above Jimins empty one.

Like it was beating for Jimin too.

Mindlessly, Jungkook reached a hand out and pressed it firmly above where the AIs heart might have been.

There was no thump, no warmth seeping through, just a cold hard chest with a glass mechanism keeping the AI up and running. Jungkook felt his eyes prick with tears suddenly.

and Jimin picked up on the liquid hitting his cheek, he lifted his head to stare at Jungkook, their noses brushing against one another's.

"You're crying." Stated Jimin.

"No," Jungkook shook his head, yet at the statement, he couldn't help it. He bursted into tears.

Jimin removed his hands from the side of his neck and used them to wipe away his tears.

"Thank you." Jungkook cried.

Now he didn't know what he was thanking the AI for.

Whether it was simply for wiping his tears, for being there to comfort him or for a completely different reason.

Jungkook cried as he continued to thank the AI,

His hand now scrunching up into a fist on Jimins chest, right above the emptiness that seeped deep down into where his heart used to be.
