"Jungkook?" I ask. He's still not responding. He suddenly turns around and says,
"Are you ok with sneaking out?"
I'm baffled. Did he just ask me to sneak out with him? Oh, this has to be a joke. But at the same time, maybe he's being genuine for once. I mean, I did see him have a breakdown in the bathroom. Why not?
"Yeah, I am. Why?" I ask calmly as possible.
"Well, I know a place we can go to!" He exclaims as he smirks gleefully.
"Follow me!" He pulls me like a child and I smile to myself. I like seeing Jungkook like this, rather than him try to act all tough.
We climb out my bedroom window. As he's pulling me down the sidewalk, I ask,
"Where are we going?"
"Oh you'll see Park Jimin." It's refreshing not to hear him call me a faggot for once. But little does he know I'm a faggot for him... If that even sounds right.
After a few minutes of getting dragged, he stops us at a park. I wonder what we're doing here.

Jungkook's POV
Fuck the rooftop. I'm just going to apologize here. I feel like it's necessary, you know? To be honest, I'm having more fun with Jimin than I thought. He's actually not so bad. I regret being so mean to him all these years. He probably thinks I'm toying with him at this exact moment. It's ok though because once I apologize he'll know I'm not... Wait, what if he doesn't believe me? I won't blame him if he doesn't. I'm probably just over-thinking this. It's time.

Jimin's POV
Jungkook turns around suddenly. I look at him confused as to why we're here. He suddenly speaks up,
"I brought you here to apologize." He exclaims shyly.
Wow. I'd never expect this... After all these years, he's apologizing? I'm not sure if I want to accept, this is all to sudden. One day he hates me, and the next we're hanging out together. How do I know he's not just messing with me?
"You probably think I'm messing with you, but I'm not."
He read my mind too!
"I don't know why I'm deciding to do this now, after all these years." His eyes start welling up with tears.
"I know I said all those horrible things to you, and that I hurt you mentally and physically, but I really didn't want to I swear!" The tears start coming down his face and I feel an urge to hug him.
"The only reason I did all of that is because well, my mom is never home to take care of me or show me any type of love at all. She's always getting drunk at some bar. My dad is dead, so I practically have nobody. I feel so lonely. I dont even have a friend... I guess the anger from those problems started building up inside of me, and I took it all out on you. I'm really, really sorry." He starts crying a little more heavily.
I'm really shocked right now. I don't even know what to say to him. I just pull him into my embrace...
"It's ok Jungkook." I say reassuringly.
"I knew you were going through hard times. I understand where your anger is coming from, really. But in the end, just know that everything is going to be ok."
I let go of him and he looks up at me and smiles. I smile back.
"Thank you." He says quietly.
"No problem."
He suddenly grabs my hand and starts pulling me again. Why am I letting this kid drag me around?
"Jungkoooook... Where are we going now?" I groan.
"Call me Kookie." He turns around and winks at me. "And don't worry about where we're going. It's going to be fun!" He says as he giggles.
That was my first time hearing him giggle like that. It was so cute. The way he smiled kind of reminded me of a bunny too.
After another few minutes of more dragging, we stop at another destination.
"Kookie, are we seriously getting ice cream right now?" I ask him slightly laughing myself.
"YEAH DUH NOW HURRY UP!" He squeaks and starts jumping up and down. I think he's literally a... Human bunny? I just smile and follow him inside.
We order our flavors. He gets cookie dough and I just grab some mochi because why not? Mochi is delicious.
We sit down at a table and start eating. I finish before Jungkook and I just sit there and watch him. Not creepily, of course. Once he finishes he gets up and stretches, and I do so as well.
We leave the ice cream shop. On our walk back (for once he's not pulling me) we're just silent. I realize how weird this week has been...

Jungkook's POV
I had so much fun with him. I smile to myself as we're walking, and I take a quick glance at Jimin. No wonder so many people like him. He's so nice and forgiving and... Cute. Wait, what? Did I just think of him as cute? Gross.
I laugh at my thoughts and continue our stroll.
I decided to check my phone, it's currently 8:04. As I'm checking the time I realize I've gotten 7 missed calls from my mom. That's weird, she never calls me. I glance at my phone worridely and look up at Jimin.

Jimin's POV
I notice Jungkook looking at me. He looks nervous for some reason.
"What's wrong?" I ask gently.
"I gotta dip. I missed 7 calls from my mom. She's gonna kill me..." He says as he sighs.
"Oh... Ok. I had fun with you today." I smile at him.
He smiles back at me.
"You too."
He then takes off in the other direction. I'm in such a good mood now. I can't believe me and Jungkook are friends now.
Little did we both know...
