SLOW DOWN | jikook

It's 9 in the morning and Jungkook struggles to get out of bed and take a shower. It's been a rough night of overthinking and he's exhausted but he gathers the energy and finally gets up. 

He takes a flaming hot shower, standing under the warm water for more than 30 minutes. He needed this more than anything, he felt like even his clothes were suffocating him. He wanted to leave and quickly, before anyone wakes up.

He doesn't know what he'd do if he found any one of the two awake.

He steps out of the shower and grabs a towel to dry his hair, wrapping it around his waist loosely when he's done. He takes a look at himself in the mirror.

You look like a mess.

He thinks to himself.

He sighs, ruffles his hair and opens the door to get out of the bathroom.

And, thanks to his amazing luck, he finds the one person he didn't want to see in front of him.

Jimin.

Jimin was about to open the door to the bathroom, he had his hand frozen to the spot as soon as Jungkook opened the door before him. His eyes were ready to pop out of his head the moment he saw Jungkook in the state he was..

He looked Jungkook up and down, examining him from head to toe, paying attention to every curve and every muscle on his body. He finds himself biting his lower lip at the sight of Jungkook's wet body and hair, only a loose towel around his waist. His golden skin glowing even more under the bright sun-light coming from the window. He stares at every tattoo on his body, every piercing he finds. But he focuses on the piercing on his lip, a silver hoop that makes his lips stand out even more.

Jungkook sees Jimin staring at his lips and bites teasingly at his lip piercing, making Jimin's breath hitch. Jimin's creepiness doesn't stop there though, oh no.

Other than the tattoos, the piercings and the wetness of his body, Jimin finds his mouth watering at the god-like body in front of him. Jungkook's abs in full display, his veins popping out on his arms and the broadness of his chest make him feel dizzy. Dizzy at the thought of being able to touch him, feel every bit of him, feel his warmth.. being able to leave marks on that skin and-

Jungkook notices how Jimin's staring at him. They've been standing there for at least 2 minutes just gawking at each other. He sees how Jimin has only a plain white shirt on, a shirt that covers up his whole body in a way that makes Jungkook's possessiveness grow.. until he realizes Jimin doesn't own a shirt like that and neither does he.

Jungkook clears his throat, making Jimin snap out of the thoughts running through his mind and come back to the sad reality. The reality of a serious Jungkook, looking down at him with a harsh stare. If glares could kill, Jimin would be dead right now.

"Do you want something?", Jungkook's tone full of harshness when he says that.

"Good morning", Jimin says with a smile, his eyes showing the gentleness and how he missed talking to him.

Jungkook just nods, "I have a class", he says and tries to walk away but Jimin stops him by putting a hand on his chest.

Jungkook looks down at the hand on his chest for a second and then looks back up to face Jimin, raising an eyebrow. Jimin realizes, flushes a bright pink and moves his hand away. "Why are you so distanced away from me? What did I do?"

A few seconds pass by until Jungkook answers.

"Don't you have someone else to worry about right now?", he says and nods towards the couch where the guy Jimin brought last night is sleeping.
