Jikook: Only When We're Drunk

5: Guilty Pleasure

Jungkook has never seen Jimin act so professional at a concert. He was being fierce with all of the fierce songs, happy with the happy songs and when they were talking to the fans he was himself; Jimin.

Jungkook was impressed.

The only thing on Jimin's mind was: Jungkook doesn't hate me. He's going to apologize to ME first? And he called me an amazing performer all in the same day?!! That's what motivated him today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the concert they divided up into different vehicles to go back to the apartments. Jimin and Jungkook ended up being in the back seats of the vehicle, a black divider separated the two from anyone else.

Jimin was staring out the window.

The atmosphere felt heavy and awkward. Jungkook cleared his throat.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this too. "I was impressed hyung."

Jimin finally decided to speak to the younger again.

"By what?"

"...By your professionalism. You did well... Jimin."

Jimin was on the verge of tears. "Thanks Kookie."

A single tear slipped down Jimin's cheek. He couldn't hold in his emotions at all. Jungkook hesitantly reached up his hand to Jimin's cheek and gently wiped the liquid away with his thumb.

It was a sweet gesture except it made Jimin sob. Jimin noticed this was one of the first times Jungkook touched him instead of the other way around. Jimin held his face in his own lap, crying.

"Jimin-hyung?! What did I do wrong??"

"Nothing, Jungkook-ah, nothing."

Suddenly and unexpectedly, Jimin felt Jungkook's body wrap around his. Jimin was stunned and almost paralyzed.

"J-jungkookie-"

"Shh hyung let me take care you for once."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It felt like hours had gone by to Jungkook as he held onto Jimin. Maybe it was the guilt. Maybe it was Tae's advice. Or maybe it was because Jimin showed him a new side of himself last night, that he wasn't as evil as he thought. Jimin might even.. care about him. Whatever the reason, something told him this was the right thing to do.

After a while, Jungkook slowly released Jimin. Jimin looked at him in his doe eyes for the first time today.

"Jimin, your eyes, they're so... pretty." What the hell am I saying?!! Jungkook thought.

"Thank you Jungkookie." Jimin was actually blushing for once.

Jungkook placed his hand on Jimin's cheek. He closed his eyes. He leaned in and—

*honk, honk, honk*

The noise woke Jungkook up.

"Sorry kids there's a bit of traffic," the staff driver said after lowering the divider a little. "But we'll be there soon."

Jungkook found himself still hugging Jimin except, now they had slid down so they were completely lying on the leather seats.

Jungkook never sat up so fast in his life. His face was all red too. "S-sorry hyung..."

The worst part was, Jungkook couldn't even remember how much was real and how much was a dream, since the time they had got in the car.

Jimin yawned. "That's okay Kookie, wouldn't be the first time you hugged me to sleep."

Jungkook wasn't in the mood to argue with that so he just said, "y-yeah...".

Jimin ruffled the maknae's hair and said, "Wake me when we get there."

Two seconds later Jimin said, "Hey Jungoo..."

"...yes hyung?"

"Can I... use your lap as a pillow? The leather isn't very comfy..."

Uuhhhhh let me just say WHAT JIMIN IS ACTUALLY ASKING IF HE CAN DO SOMETHING??. Jungkook thought. He was so used to Jimin doing whatever the hell he pleased with him. Before today Jimin probably wouldn't have asked to do anything like that.

"Umm I guess since you asked... nicely..."Jungkook got out.

Really?! Jimin thought. "Thanks Kookoo." He said. He gently lowered his head on Jungkook's lap, making sure to face away from the maknae. Why? Because for one of the first times Jimin felt embarrassed and he didn't know why. Compared to other things he did to Jungkook, like at the fansigning, this was nothing.

Jungkook looked down at Jimin and his heart beat faster. Why am I not mad at him for once? He thought. And why did I dream of almost kissing you????!!!!! At least... I think it was a dream...
