The other side of the bed was still warm when Jimin woke up the next morning, cautiously feeling for the person who slept beside him all night that has now vanished into thin air. The sound of water running vibrates in the distance, coming to life as soon as Jimin began to open his eyes and establish his surroundings. Rolling over, Jimin stretched from head to toe, feeling the soft blankets still tight and warm against his legs, keeping him firmly in bed. After a brief look at the clock and seeing that it was only seven in the morning, Jimin decided there was no rush. He could hear the stream of the shower change as Jungkook shifted around in it, and soon there was the sound of his singing bouncing off of the acoustics of the bathroom. Jimin smiled and snuggled further under the blankets, the smell of Jungkook still strong as if he was laying in bed the whole time. Jimin could lay for a few more minutes, and then he would get up so that he could help Jungkook out by getting some clothes together for him.

Soon that was all Jimin could think about --- did Jungkook pack those black slacks with the fine press in the shins? He would look fantastic in a grey sweater, or better yet, a button up with a turtleneck under it. With all of these combinations, Jimin's imagination went wild. He couldn't lay in bed any longer and shot out of it like a bat out of hell, but not before turning back to make up the bed. Once the bed was tidy and without a wrinkle in sight, Jimin went to Jungkook's side of the bed and scanned through the clothing he had stuffed carelessly into the drawers. He picked out a stylish outfit, pairing a leather belt and polished shoes as the cherry on top. 

Once Jimin had all the clothes neatly put together in his arms, he gently knocked on the bathroom door and announced his presence, heading straight over to the vanity to set down the clothing, placing the shoes on the floor nearby. The steam fogged up the mirror so that Jimin couldn't see Jungkook from this angle, but if he turned to face him he would definitely see the outline of Jungkook's naked body through the frosted glass. This thought embarrassed him and he felt a smile tug at his lips, trying to restrain himself as he arranged the clothing on the vanity for when Jungkook was ready.

"Hey Jimin-ie?" Jungkook called out, a bit louder than was necessary as though the sound of the shower stream would overpower his already deep voice. "I left my toothbrush by the sink. Can you bring it over to me?"

Jimin's heart skipped a solid beat, nodding once out of respect as he eyed the blue travel case of the toothbrush and toothpaste. Instead of thinking innocently as he originally had when he entered the bathroom, Jimin felt corrupted by a certain lust that came with knowing Jungkook was naked only a few feet away from him. He scooped the travel case without a thought and spun around to walk the distance from the vanity to the shower, his eyes glued to the white tiles below until finally his gaze fixed upon the sight he wasn't sure he was ready to see. Jungkook knew that the frosted glass didn't leave much to the imagination, he knew Jimin could see him to a certain extent, yet he still didn't care. Jimin slid the door of the shower open, reaching in to hand Jungkook the case. Jungkook stepped forward, the sweet colour of his skin more vibrant than usual, gently taking the case from Jimin, his wet fingertips leaving a residue on the side of Jimin's hand. 

"You know, it's awfully silly that you're brushing your teeth while in the shower," Jimin said, snickering to himself. "Normal people usually brush them at the sink."

"It saves time!" Jungkook exclaimed, laughing as he shuffled through the travel case. "While I'm shampooing my hair I can brush my teeth, so it leaves me with a few extra minutes of standing under the water time."

"You put yourself on a time limit?" Jimin said, leaning up against the towel rack, trying not to focus on Jungkook directly.

"Twenty minutes max."

"Is that an environmentally friendly purpose that's driving you?"

Jungkook laughed, immediately shaking his head. "It dries my skin out."
