The Other Side | Jikook

Chapter 16

Jimin POV

Humming softly to myself, I look up at the taller boy who's lap my head is resting in. Jungkook's got a small sparkle in his eye as he smiles down at me, gently raking his fingers through my hair like he had been earlier.

"Please, Jiminie?" He whispers softly, biting his bottom lip softly. I sigh quietly, pursing my lips.

"Okay. Deal." I mutter, not being able to fight off the small smile that pulls at my lips when I see the way his face breaks out into a grin.

"Good. Think we can try shopping again then?" Jungkook questions. Taking a deep breath, I nod my head reluctantly before sitting up. I'm still unsure of all of this, not certain that it'll play out the way Jungkook is hoping it will, but I've already agreed. Sadly, it's a little too late to back out now. Before I know it, I find myself back outside in Kookie's BMW on our way to the mall. Surprisingly, he holds my hand the entire drive there and actually stays holding my hand instead of grabbing my wrist when we get there. A tiny smile pulls at my lips, realizing just how serious he is about all of this.

"Kookie, where are we going first?" I ask quietly as he begins to lead us inside the mall. My eyes widen at the amount of stores and people that are here, not having really processed it when we came earlier.

"We'll start out with just regular comfortable clothes. I haven't gotten to wear them in years now but I still recall them well. We'll start there and then wander around to help you find the lounging clothes that you're comfortable with." Jungkook explains, looking over at me with a gentle smile. Biting my lip as I look away, I simply nod my head and try not to let my anxiety get the best of me.

I let the taller boy drag me around and into a store, bringing us over to the males section. Staying silent, I simply watch and follow as he pulls different pairs of pants off of racks and stands, holding them up against me and contemplating for a moment before either draping them over his arm or tossing them back where he got them. When he's satisfied with the pants, he drags us over to shirts.

"I want you to focus on finding stuff you like. You'll be wearing these mainly in the house just like the lounging clothes. Though, if we want to go out when we've got the time occasionally, then this is the type of stuff you'd wear." Jungkookie informs me. Biting my lip, I nod my head and hesitantly begin to wander around the shirts. Glancing around and occasionally feeling the material of them. Wordlessly, I pick up the shirts I find and somewhat like to show them to Kookie. He just smiles every time, taking it from me to hold it up against myself before checking the size. Sometimes he'd put it back on the rack, searching for one in a different size and sometimes he'd just drape it over his arm.

Though, a small smile appears when I find some hoodies. Glancing over at Jungkook, he just gives me a smile and nods his head in approval and permission. Returning to biting my lip nervously, I wander around the hoodies and pull a few off as well.

"Is that good enough, Kookie?" I ask softly, still very unsure of what we're doing right now.

"It's perfect. Come on, let's go to the dressing rooms so that you can try this stuff on. We gotta make sure it fits." Jungkook responds happily, taking my hand in his again before bringing us elsewhere. When we finally reach the dressing rooms, he helps me find a large open one before handing me the clothes.

"Go inside and try these. I wanna see everything on you though." He says excitedly. I frown in confusion, tilting my head to the side.

"Wouldn't it just be easier for you to come in with me?" I question curiously. His cheeks quickly turn a light shade of pink.

"Jiminie, you've got to get undressed in order to try to clothes on." Jungkook mumbles, averting his gaze down to the ground away from me. Sighing softly as my face falls ever so lightly, I take a step closer to him. Placing one hand on his upper arm and the other under his chin, I gently bring his head up to look at me.

"If you truly and honestly want me to teach and show you everything I know, that includes sex, Jungkook. You don't just have sex with someone with all of your clothes on. And it's not like I'll be taking my boxers off in there just to change pants and shirts." I tell him softly, trying to be as blunt as gently as possible. His cheeks only heat up more as he nods, gulping quietly.

"Yeah, okay. Right. Okay, I guess I'll come in with you then." Jungkook murmurs quietly.

With that, the two of us head into the dressing room so that I can try clothes on. With the door closed and the clothes set down or hung, I strip out of my tee shirt and jeans. Immediately, I notice Jungkook blushing, occasionally glancing over at me and then away again as I strip and get dressed. I mentally shake my head, this is gonna be a long shopping trip.
