Save Me (JiKook)

Fourteen

Jungkook pulled his hood up and took off his glasses before rubbing his eyes. He'd been studying for hours, now.

Jimin was curled up on the other end of the couch, under Jungkook's jacket with a book falling from his hands.

The younger smiled and rolled his eyes. Just as he looked back to his book, the front door opened, gaining his attention.

Namjoon slid in with shopping bags hanging off his fingers. He smiled to the younger as he kicked his shoes off.  "I brought back some soju and beer. Want some?"

Kook considered it for a second then nodded, "Yeah just let me take Jimin-hyung to bed."

"Alright, I'll get some glasses set out."

The two parted as Kook cleaned up all of Jimin's study materials and took him to their room to continue sleeping.

He came back out and shuffled to the kitchen where he sat down across the table from Joon. The older had already poured himself a beer, so Jungkook grabbed the soju and a shot glass.

"Did you guys just study all day?" Namjoon asked playing with the foam in his glass.

"Yeah, did you kiss Seokjin-hyung's butt some more?" Kook laughed.

Joon mocked him then flicked some beer at him. "Be glad I made a new friend, you brat."

"I don't know about friend. I think you like him more than that."

"Well, even if I start to feel that way, he's straight with a pretty, blonde girlfriend."

"Aw," Kook cooed, "Don't be jealous, Hyung. You look handsome with blonde hair, too."

The other rolled his eyes. "What about you? You and Jimin have been dating for a month now, what's going on with you guys?"

Jung shrugged. "Not much, just...regular dating stuff, I guess."

"Mm. Have you took him on a date yet?"

"Yeah a few. Five to be exact."

"Ah, Jungkook, you grow up so fast."

The younger smiled tiredly and leaned forward onto the table. "Hyung?"

"Hm?"

"Can... Can I ask you something really weird?"

He chuckled and nodded, "Go for it."

The other sighed and played with his soju glass before speaking. "Should..no, would it be okay for us to...for Jimin and I to start having sex again?"

The older raised his eyebrow. "And you're asking me? I don't know, what do you think?"

"Well, I... I mean, I want to, but for him... I don't know if he'd be comfortable with it. What with... everything Joey did there at the end."

"Mm!" Joon sat up quickly, swallowing the beer in his mouth. "Speaking of, since he got arrested, if Jimin would testify against him, then he would stay in jail."

"I thought he was arrested because of Jimin?"

"No, we just had Jimin tip the cops off on his drug business. They called me, since he used my phone at the time, and he admitted to abusing Jimin. So, if he pressed charges, there's no way he'd ever get out. Maybe even be shipped overseas to an even stricter facility."

Jung nodded. He liked the sound of Joey leaving Korea. He'd never lay a finger on Jimin ever again.

"I'll talk to him about it when he wakes up."

"Good. Now, back to your question."

Jimin inhaled and rolled over, his hand running up the sheets as he stretched.

Jungkook chuckled from his spot at the dresser and turned back to finish dressing.

The older slowly opened his eyes, vision blurry since his glasses were off. He tried to go back to sleep for a moment, but it didn't work. He rolled again and got his glasses then glanced around.

Jungkook was still facing away, so he just watched him for a little bit. After a while he pouted and scratched his cheek. "Kookie, can we go out today?"

The younger laughed, "I was actually gonna wake you up and ask the same thing."

"Mm...I want coffee and...something sweet."

"Cake maybe?"

"Mm...no. Maybe ice cream."

"I can do ice cream," Kook smiled to himself.

Jimin was used to seeing Jungkook all 'dolled up,' but today...something was different. Not off, but different.

He had his usual ripped jeans, boots, t-shirt and jacket, but there was something...more to the way he looked. Almost something so big Jimin missed it.

"Do I have chocolate on my face or something?" Kook asked.

The older shook his head. "Just...you look different."

The other raised his eyebrow and pouted. "I showered. My hair shouldn't be greasy."

Jimin giggled, "No, that's not it. It's...your face. I think."

"Hyung," the younger laughed out, "Seriously?"

"What?"

"I actually have my glasses on for a change."

Jimin's eyes lit up and he giggled. "Yeah! That's it! Gosh, you should wear them more often so I can get used to it."

The younger rolled his eyes, "I'll think about it. But," he bit his lip then leaned on the table, "only if you answer one question for me."

"Sure," the older shrugged.

Kook chuckled nervously and glanced around the room. "Well...do you...miss...like, how we used to be? Do you miss that part of our relationship?"

Jimin was confused at first, but with the look on his boyfriend's face he quickly figured it out. In seconds, he was blushing down to his chest. "Well...lately...yes."

The taller let out a sigh and smacked his lips. "I'll keep that in mind," he took the last drink of his coffee. "Ready to go?"

Jimin nodded, his fingers knotted together under the table.

"Hyung," Jimin sighed as he sat down on Seokjin's bed.

Jin frowned at the sigh and slapped the younger's thigh. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know." He shrugged. "Well...I know, but I can't explain it. Because my reasoning just doesn't make sense and I know it."

"Well, tell me anyway. If it's completely ridiculous, I'll get a good laugh in today."

The other rolled his eyes. "Just... Well, me and Kookie are actually dating now. And I love being his boyfriend and he treats me so well. But, these last few months...we haven't...been..."

"He stopped having sex with you?"

Jimin blushed but nodded.

"Well, it's probably because of school. You guys just started back last month. Things have been hectic. That's why you haven't come to see your darling brother for three weeks, right?"

Jimin smiled. "Actually....yeah. School really snuck up on me this year. I guess I got too relaxed."

"There, see? Even you have been busy. Jungkook took on an extra class this semester, right? He's probably even more swamped than usual."

"Yeah," Jimin smiled slightly. He was happy his brother knew how to help him feel better. "Thanks, Hyung."
