A/N tHere are some plot twists coming up soon...

Jungkook woke up two hours ago. Jimin's still alseep though, which is fine. Jungkook has been watching him sleep for the longest time, but he isn't getting tired of it. In fact, he could watch Jimin sleep forever if you let him. Jimin is beautiful, and Jungkook is very aware of that.

He's not sure when it started, but Jungkook has grown more fond of Jimin recently. It's pretty noticeable, he thinks, and he tries his best to hide it. What if he freaks Jimin out because he's kind of starting to feel some stuff for him? He can't have that happening.

"Mm." Jimin makes a noise, finally starting to wake up. Jungkook, for whatever reason, quickly closes his eyes and pretends to sleep. Childish, he knows, but he's already going through with it. "Jungkook?" Jimin asks, voice groggy. When Jungkook doesn't respond, things go quiet again.

Desperate to know what Jimin's doing, Jungkook almost opens his eyes. Almost. Until he feels Jimin pressing a kiss to his forehead.

"Should I make him breakfast?" He can hear Jimin mumbling to himself. The older male gets out of bed, leaving Jungkook alone. Jungkook can hear the sound of rustling clothes, which he figures is Jimin getting dressed. After Jimin's footsteps disappear down the hall, Jungkook opens his eyes again.

Well, shit. At this rate, he'll be in love with Jimin in no time. Forehead kisses and making him breakfast? Sign Jungkook up.

He sits up and grabs his phone from Jimin's nightstand. "Fuck." Jungkook curses under his breath. He has an exam in less than an hour. How could he be so stupid and forget about that? Bad move, Kook. Bad move.

Rushing, Jungkook pulls his clothes on quickly and runs out towards the kitchen. He spots Jimin in there, and can tell he's visually surprised to see Jungkook awake already.

"I have to go." Jungkook says suddenly.

"What?" Jimin asks.

"I have an exam in like forty five minutes." Jungkook groans, pulling his socks on.

"Oh."

"You were... were you making breakfast for us?" Jungkook asks him as he sees all of Jimin's ingredients out on the counter. Of course he already knows the answer, but seeing him preparing to makes Jungkook feel guilty.

Jimin clears his throat. "What? No. I... forgot you were even here." Jimin lies. He's very obviously disappointed that Jungkook is leaving and he feels like he has to lie to him.

"Oh. Okay." Jungkook clears his throat awkwardly. "Uh, I'll text you."

"Yeah, okay." Jimin nods. Jungkook looks at him for a second, waiting for Jimin to meet his eyes. When he doesn't, Jungkook walks towards him and presses a kiss to the older male's cheek.

"I'll be back, okay?" Jungkook questions gently. Jimin looks up at him.

"Okay." He nods. With that, Jungkook rushes out of the apartment and to the school, not caring enough to try and go back home to change first.

He gets through his exam in about an hour and a half, and then heads back to his apartment to crash. He's exhausted.

"What's up, bitch." Jungkook's door swings open with a loud bang, and he sees Yoongi and Tae.

"Leave me alone." Jungkook groans. "What do you want?"

"We saw you rushing home from the school and decided to bless you with our presences." Yoongi starts, sitting on the couch next to Jungkook. "You're fucking welcome."

"I brought chicken." Tae holds up a box happily.

"Why is it that every single time you come over—without fail—you bring a box of chicken?" Jungkook questions his friend, already grabbing a piece.
