At least, Jungkook hoped it was only a dream.
I could never see Jimin like that, but... even if I was dreaming... doesn't that mean I subconsciously want to do that... no no no I'm the one who is in charge, not my stupid dreams and subconsciousness. Jungkook thought, brushing the thought out of his mind for the time being.

A little while later, they were at the Bighit apartment. Jungkook shook Jimin's shoulder gently to wake him up.

"Hey Jimin we're here." He said as the older boy slowly opened his eyes.

"Mmm thanks Kookie."

They somewhat awkwardly went inside the apartment. Something felt strange since they didn't hate each other anymore.

"Hey Jungkook, are you going to apologize to me now?"

"Y-yeah, let's go outside in the back..."

They walked to the backyard and sat down on the bench. Mini colored lanterns were strung around the backyard for some light. The stars were also very illuminated that night. Jungkook wanted to be outside for privacy and the cool air.

After they sat down Jimin crossed his legs in a confident manner, awaiting the apology.

Jungkook fiddled with his hands for a second before he said, "I'm sorry, Jimin. I really didn't mean to scare you... or anyone for that matter. I promise to never run off again. It's just I really don't understand why you were messing with me so much. Like touching me constantly without my permission, and not caring about what I said, and saying weird things like you're gonna punish me."

Jimin exhaled loudly then answered, "I'm glad to hear you regret scaring us and won't do that again. As for my actions lately... I'm not even sure Kookie... I guess I'm going through a war of hormones myself. And since you're the cute maknae I guess I just decide to tease you."

Jungkook blushed. "But I'm not a girl.."

Jimin laughed and slapped Jungkook's arm playfully. "No duh Jungkookie. I think... it's just hard not being allowed to be around girls or date them and stuff. That's the hardest part about being an idol to me."

"I agree but what are you saying hyung?"

"I'm not saying I like you more than a friend Jungkook, don't get the wrong the wrong idea."

Jungkook could tell Jimin was serious because he used his actual name for once.
Phew, I was beginning to think Jimin might actually like me. He thought.

Then Jimin continued, "I'm sorry I acted that way around you. I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable. I thought... I thought it was just funny and I thought you thought so too."

"That's a lot of thoughts." Jungkook said and chuckled. "Well anyway, Jimin I'm more literal than you hyung. When I say I don't want you to do something, I don't want you to do it."

"Mm." Jimin nodded. "I understand now. I'm sorry I was such a pabo." He paused then asked, "Jungkook... do you hate me?"

Jungkook stared in Jimin's eyes, seeing he was genuinely asking and looking for a response.

"Jimin... I could never hate you. I just didn't like your inconsiderate actions with me. I noticed how today you were asking me before doing something like resting your head on me... so just please keep doing that."

"Laying on your lap?" Jimin asked with a sly smile.

Jungkook blushed again. "No! I meant the asking me before doing something part!" He said flustered.

Jimin laughed, "I know... see this is why I like to tease you. You have the best responses hehe."

Jungkook crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, I'm glad we understand each other better now. Can we... envisage being friends?" Jimin asked.

"Yes Jiminie-pabo."

Jimin laughed at his new nickname.

"Wait... I have one more question. What did you mean by you were going to punish me?"

"Uhh let's go inside first. Your room." Jimin said.

"Okay... why?" Jungkook asked as Jimin looked at his concerned doe eyes that reflected the rainbow lantern lights around them.

Jimin leaned in closer to the maknae's face. "Because I'm gonna show you."
