I'D GIVE IT ALL

chapter 16

At some point, Jimin had sat by the counter, playing with the menus that were laid out on the table, glancing every five seconds in Jungkook's direction, staring at him for way too long.

But could you blame him 

Jungkook was just so damn sexy when he was all serious and focused that it was almost painful to watch, like literally, sometimes. And even now, when Jungkook was ignoring the shit out of him and he knew why, it was because he himself wanted space, but damnit, couldn't Jungkook tell when he wanted him close or something. 

Jungkook placed his pen down on the table and brushed his fingers through his hair as he leant to the back, fanning himself before taking a bit of his burger, Jimin couldn't help but follow his every movement.

Jimin looked away for a second, picking up one of the menus and bringing it in front of his face, squinting his already tiny eyes when a pink-haired woman strutted her way towards Jungkook, and as if on reflex, Jimin grabbed one of the menus and threw it towards the woman's head. The impact of the menu got the woman off balance, and he jumped out of his seat.

Jimin ran towards the two.

"Damn, that menu really came out of nowhere," Jimin said in a fake concern, helping the woman up and seating her. She immediately pulled away from Jimin and covered her face. "Oh my god, that was so embarrassing," she whispered softly.

'Next time, don't try to touch what's mine,' Jimin grinned, then grimaced; what was he thinking? Jungkook doesn't even like him in that way.

Jungkook gave Jimin a strange look.

"Yeah," Jungkook mumbled, clearing his throat.

"My name is Sakura, by the way," she said, trying to smile, "and I was actually waiting for a friend of mine. He should be here any minute"

"Sakura chan!!" a loud-mouthed Blondie came running in, giving her a bone-crushing hug.

"Hold on, tiga, you're crushing mee!" Sakura screamed, shoving the blond off her before noticing the other two guys.

"Oh hi, my name is naruto" naruto politely introduced himself

"I'm Jimin, and that giant goof over there is Jungkook," Jimin said, pointing at Jungkook. 

"Nice to meet you guys and I'm sorry if I look a bit disoriented. I just moved here with my husband, so things are a bit hectic with all the moving in process..am I right?" Naruto said, smiling. 

"Speaking of that freak, where is he anyway?" Sakura asked.

Naruto smirked, "He might be limping about our apartment, I presume... just a hunch," he said suggestively.

"You bastard, you couldn't hold out for at least two days," Sakura smacked him across the head, while Naruto just shrugged, muttering softly, "I've got needs, you know."

"So how long have the two of you been together? " Naruto suddenly asked, and for a second, Jimin forgot to breath.

"W-we're not together. What gave you that impression? " Jimin quickly spoke, grabbing Jungkook's burger and biting into it when he let out an involuntary moan, "ohhh shit, this is actually really fucking good, Jungkook."

Jungkook glared. "I know," he mumbled softly.

"Sorry," Jimin said, putting the burger down like a kicked puppy, and Jungkook's glare faded. "I-I mean, I know it's good, you should just eat it..I wasn't hungry anyway" jungkook said stuttering and Jimin brightened up.

"Are you sure? " Jimin inquired, his face flushed.

"Yes, I'm sure, I insist," Jungkook answered, pushing the plat towards Jimin.

Naruto whistled at them, "I like you guys already, and it's been awhile since I've gone double with another couple," he said, running his hands through his hair.

"We're not a couple," they said in unison.

"To-may-toe ..To-mar-toe...I'm a psychologist, so there's no fooling me and we should become friends...end of discussion," Naruto said, trailing his hands around.

"You're way too trusting," Sakura said, snorting.

"Please, lady, it's called good judgment," Naruto said as he extended his hand to her.

"Damnit, it's enough that I'm a third wheel, now I'm going to be fifth wheeling. This is bullshit, "

She sighed. "I should just get laid."

"I second that," Naruto stated. 

"You're just a lucky bastard " Sakura said, sticking her tongue out.

"Nope, I'm just a man in love," Naruto winked at Jimin, who was just blushing, and said, "You're so cute," reaching out to squeeze Jimin's cheeks but being stopped by Jungkook's low growl.

Jimin face palmed and Naruto laughed

"It's okay," Naruto chuckled. "You got yourself a protective one, Jimin. That's adorable. "

Jungkook gasped, "I'm not adorable," he retorted.

"Oh well, boo hoo Jimin agrees with me...don't you Jimin, he's undeniably adorable " jungkook gazed at Jimin expectantly 

Jimin looked at the two, feeling a lot smaller than he was.

"Uh, w.. well..um, I'd be lying if I said you weren't at least good looking... and hey, would you stop looking at me like that? You can't not know you're good looking, Jungkook. Please. " Jimin said, blushing all the more. He couldn't take the attention, but Jungkook wasn't giving Jimin any funny looks.

Far from it. 

"What are you talking about Jimin? What looks am I giving you exactly?" Jungkook teased, and Jimin just flipped him off.

"I think we should exchange numbers, you know, in case we lose contact," Jimin nervously said. 

"Oh yeah, you right, here's mine," Naruto replied, and the two exchanged phone numbers before Naruto's phone rang.

"And that's me, love. I have to go, but do come over please. Sasuke would be happy to cook for you. He makes the best mac and cheese ever. For real. I would make love to it if I could, " Naruto said, getting up. 

"Sasuke" Jungkook muttered softly. The name sounded vaguely familiar, but from where?

"Thanks for that mental scar," Sakura mumbled. 

"I'm sorry, I just had to, and I'm super honest, so expect the unexpected," he said before leaving 

"I'm sorry about him "sakura apologised

"You probably didn't expect that to happen, and he gets a little hyped about people he likes, and it usually doesn't end well on his part, so.. I understand if you want to pretend this whole thing never happened" sakura said before turning around but Jimin stopped her.

"No! " She turned around to look at him.

"We don't really mind, right, Jungkook?" Jungkook nodded.

"We've come a long way from home and having friends would be really nice," Jimin said, giving her a smile. 

" Great!" She screamed excitedly, "Then I guess I'll see you around," she said, waving them off.

Jimin huffed, turning around to face Jungkook, "We should go home " Just then, jb was seen walking towards them.

"You still game? The guys are already at the bar," JB said, throwing on his jacket. 

Jungkook glanced down into Jimin's enticing brown orbs, getting lost in them, seeing right through them, practically hearing Jimin's plea for him not to go. 

Jimin wanted him to stay. 

The thought warmed his heart in ways he couldn't explain, even if he tried.

" Nah " he said, not taking his eyes off of Jimin's, "it late as it is, so I'm just going to head home... Jimin" Jungkook said, taking Jimin's hand in his, "Let's go home," he said.

"I thought you'd never ask," Jimin said breathlessly as he let Jungkook lead them out.
