"i think i need to wash up the dishes now," jungkook smiled at him and quickly went up to gather their plates.

he awkwardly went to the sink, not minding to look at jimin.

"cute," he said.

he leaned at the couch and had a look at his wound. it's getting better, he's not bleeding anymore. now he's still wondering how did jungkook perform such thing.

when adora, yoongi's friend, called him awhile ago, he felt relieved when she said that the business isn't going down. good thing the boys were still doing well even if jimin wasn't around. she was asked to check up on jimin while yoongi was away overseas, having a deal with other clients.

jimin sighed. he'll be stuck here for a week. and kronos is still out there lurking while becoming a threat to their drug business.

he quietly looked at jungkook who just finished washing. the younger sat across jimin where he usually sleeps at night.

jungkook cleared his throat and looked at jimin. "thank you for letting me stay here, i promise i'll be finding a new place once i get a job and—"

"what?"

"hmm?" jungkook said nervously.

"what are you saying 'find a job?'" jimin arched his brow. "you're fine here, everything's fine. you're secured, got a lot of food, free space, what do you want more?"

"i think it's just rude to accept things from you and not giving back,"

"it's okay for me, i'm not living with anyone anyway. you can even run around here naked if you want to," jimin casually said while scrolling through his phone.

jungkook's eyes widened at his words. "what?"

"nothing."

jungkook felt his face burn. his cheeks turned red and he felt a bit uncomfortable. jimin noticed it and said, "stop acting cute."

"i'm not..." jungkook bit his lower lip and covered his face. "...acting cute."

jimin smirked and came closer to the boy. he sat next to him which made jungkook's face more red than earlier.

he touched the scar on jungkook's cheek and leaned closer. "i know you're jealous earlier, no need to hide it," jimin whispered to his ear.

"j-jealous? what? no, i'm not!" jungkook said in a shaky voice.

seriously, jimin's whisper made him tremble. it never made him feel this way before.

"adora is yoongi's ex-girlfriend. she works with us now, but only when one of us isn't around. i'm single, obviously. i'm all... free," jimin whispered again.

it isn't a surprise to jimin that jungkook is certainly new to relationships and flirting. he still isn't in his twenties, he may be locked up in his room due to strict parents or whoever raised him, and due to the fact that he wasn't comfortable during this time and he doesn't know how to react.

"t-then that's good, hyung!" jungkook nervously smiled at him.

"you know what? i like it when you call me that," jimin leaned closer to him until jungkook can feel his breath on his neck. "say it again,"

jungkook gulped once again, trying to compose himself. he wanted to scream and just make the floor swallow him whole out of embarrassment. on the other side, jimin doesn't know why he's exactly doing this. it felt like jungkook is his drug and he's started to get addicted.

"h-hyung," jungkook whispered.

jimin closed his eyes when he heard a gunshot coming from the outside. "fucking hell," he cursed.
