I Just Want You to Love Me || Jinkook

Jin visited Jungkook every day in the hospital until he was finally allowed to go back to the dorm. The other members were always there to check up on him too, so Jin never got the chance to ask Jungkook about his nightmares. He seemed to be doing good whenever Jin was with him, so he didn't worry too much about it. 

Jungkook entered the dorm on his crutches. 

"I'M BACK!" he screamed. 

"We know," Namjoon said. All the members were right behind him, waiting to step inside. 

"I just wanted to say it 'cuz it's been so long," Jungkook admitted with a large grin. "I'm just happy to be home again."

"Yeah, yeah, just move, your bag is heavy," Taehyung complained. He was carrying a bag full of Jungkook's stuff that they had brought to the hospital. Jungkook hopped to the side and Taehyung dropped the bag on the floor. "Someone else will have to bring it to his room," he said and walked away. He needed to sit down after dragging that pile of bricks up the stairs. The other members looked at each other, trying to decide who would do it. They raised their hands to play rock- paper - scissors. 

"Not Jin-hyung," Jungkook chimed in. 

"Why, you think I'm not strong enough to carry it with one hand?" Jin said sassily. "I'm a lot stronger than I look!" 

Jungkook smiled at his silly hyung. 

"I know just how strong you are, Mr. Lifesaver. I just don't wanna risk you getting hurt because of me again if someone else can easily do it." 

"Ugh, get a room!" Jimin said and grabbed the bag.

Jungkook spent the entire day walking, or at least trying to walk around the dorm happily humming different melodies. Sometimes he stopped and just stared only to then giggle to himself and continue humming. 

"Has he actually gone mad?" Hoseok whispered to Namjoon. "He's been doing that all day!"

"Maybe it's the painkillers," Namjoon suggested. 

"I think he's just happy to be back home and not trapped in that boring hospital," Jin said. They looked at him as if they were surprised he'd heard them. Jin rolled his eyes. "You're literally sitting one meter away from me." The three of them were on the couch watching a cooking show. With no schedule all of them were getting pretty bored. 

"But still, shouldn't he be resting or something? He has a broken rib, it can't be good for him to be using his crutches so much," Hoseok said. 

"That's true..." Jin admitted. "Hey, JK!" he called out. Jungkook quickly appeared in the living room. 

"What is it?" he happily asked. 

"You should start walking without the crutches. Your leg will never get better if you keep relying on them so much," Jin said. Jungkook looked as if it was the first time that thought had ever crossed him mind. He put down the crutches and tried putting some weight on his leg. 

"You're right, I think I can get better faster if I don't use them." He slowly walked off to the kitchen and came back soon after with a beaming smile. "Hyung, you're so smart!"

Hoseok and Namjoon looked at Jin as he proudly leaned back in the couch with a smirk. 

"Well what can I say? I'm a bit of a genius myself." 

Jungkook giggled.

"Jin-hyung, you're so funny!" he said and then started walking around the dorm again. 

"He has to be high on those painkillers," Namjoon insisted.

About an hour later Jungkook had finally tired himself out and sat down in the couch. By then it was only Jin left as the other two had gotten bored with watching cooking shows. Jungkook groaned loudly. 

"I assume the drugs have worn off by now," Jin said while still focusing on the TV. The chef was teaching how to cook the perfect steak. Jungkook leaned his head against the couch. 

"I thought I was completely fine but now everything hurts," Jungkook whined. He pulled up his shirt a little to check on his rib. It caught Jin's attention and he glanced over. 

"OH MY GOD!" he yelled when he saw the dark purple bruise on Jungkook's chest. It looked horrible. 

"No wonder it hurts," Jungkook concluded and pulled his shirt back down. "Good thing you stopped me from using the crutches, Hyung."

"You shouldn't be running around so much in the first place. You're still injured, you know. You have to rest!" Jin scolded him. 

"But resting is so boring!" Jungkook complained. "I've done nothing but rest at the hospital, so now that I'm back home I want to do stuff!"

"Like what?" Jin asked. Jungkook looked at him and opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it and looked away, only to start laughing at himself a second later. Jin gave him a perplexed look. "And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" he asked. 

"I almost said something I shouldn't have, that's all," Jungkook giggled. 

"Fine then, keep your secrets," Jin said and rolled his eyes. 

"Speaking of secrets..." Jungkook said and leaned over closer to Jin. He'd stopped laughing and had a playful smirk on his lips instead. The look in his eyes made Jin feel a bit on edge. "Have you read any good fanfics lately?" he whispered. Jin almost felt his heart stop from the shock.

"H-how do you-" he began to question how Jungkook could possibly know about his guilty pleasure but then he remembered. He remembered! He'd told Jungkook about it during that night at the bar. "I remember!" he exclaimed. "I told you about the one where Taehyung and Jimin fucked in front of the mirror!"

Jungkook nodded enthusiastically. 

"And then? Do remember what happened after that?" He couldn't believe Jin was actually regaining his memory from their night together. Jin closed his eyes and tried to recall the events after that. 

"Um, I think you asked if there were any fanfics about the two of us, right?"

"Yes! And then?" 

"I told you about it and you said you were jealous."

"Right! And then?!" Jungkook asked excitedly. Jin furrowed his eyebrows trying to remember. Nothing. He couldn't tell what happened after that. There was just a blank space in his memory from that night. 

"Ugh, I don't know... I can't recall any more than that," he said. He was a bit disappointed. It felt great regaining his memory. He opened his eyes and looked at Jungkook who was wearing an unreadable expression. The stared at each other a while before Jungkook spoke again.

"Want me to remind you?" he asked. Jin thought about it. On one hand he was glad he didn't remember anything because he knew how they ended up, but on the other hand it was annoying to not remember how it actually happened. Jungkook had said it was his fault but Jin wasn't actually sure if that was true or not. 

"OK," he eventually said. "Remind me." What he didn't expect was for Jungkook to lean in and kiss him. Jin tensed up. He wasn't expecting that at all. He just assumed Jungkook would tell him what happened, not actually do it! Jin wasn't moving in the slightest but Jungkook carefully slid his hand into Jin's hair, just like he'd done before. 

Jin was just about to push him off when it all came crashing down on him at the same time. The memories overloaded his brain. It felt like his head was splitting in two. Jungkook anxiously backed off and watched as Jin grabbed his head and bit his tongue to not alarm the entire building. He whimpered and gasped as his brain sorted out the previously forgotten memories. He remembered everything. Before Jungkook could say anything Jin stood up and walked straight to his room. He needed to sort out his thoughts without Jungkook staring at him with those big, beautiful eyes.
