As the morning sunlight filtered into Jimin's bedroom Jungkook began to stir from a peaceful sleep.  He felt the weight of Jimin lying on his arm and his leg hooked over his, he felt Jimin's slow steady breaths against his chest and the contact of their still naked bodies entwined with each other and he laid there grinning, he was here, it wasn't another dream and he couldn't remember a time he had been happier. 

 Jimin's eyes flickered open sleepily as he stretched and yawned, he was so damn cute and Jungkook pressed his lips against his temple "Good morning sleepy" he smiled.  Jimin's eyes had closed again but he was smiling and leant his head up with puckered lips for a kiss "mmm, kookie" said Jimin sleepily.  "Lets stay in bed all day" said Jimin "I don't want this moment to end, even though my ass hurts like a bitch" he laughed. 

Jungkook smiled as his stomach let out a large rumble causing both boys to laugh "food I think!", reaching down to check the time on his phone he saw 5 missed calls and 3 text messages from Namjoon basically worried about him and wondering where the fuck he was, oh, that and his parents were at Namjoon's apartment! "SHIT" cried Jungkook as he bolted out of bed and started to scramble about for his clothes.

 "What is it" said jimin startled as he sat up quickly wincing slightly at the shooting pain in his behind.  "My parents are here! why are they here? oh God, what shall I say!"  Jungkook looked worried "Hey" said Jimin softly, he stood and hobbled as best he could over to a now fully dressed Jungkook and placed his hand reassuringly upon him to calm his nerves.  "No one needs to know about us Jungkook, not yet.  It's a big step we've both taken, I'm sure your parents don't need to know you have a boyfriend just yet"  he blushed as he said the B word which made Jungkook smile and relax a little.  

"Ok, boyfriend" he said mirroring Jimin's blush, "I'll say I slept on your sofa if that's ok?".  "Fine" Jimin said smiling, "now go, before they call the police to report you missing".  "That's going to be hard with you standing there naked" laughed Jungkook as he placed a chaste kiss on jimins lips and shook his head raking his eyes down Jimin's bare flesh "aish!" he laughed and left the apartment.

Jungkook entered Namjoon's apartment with his key and shouted his greetings to let them know he was there.  His mother came running from the kitchen followed by his father and a rather pissed looking Namjoon, who, he thought must have had a dressing down by his dad.  "Eomma, Appa this is such a surprise! you should have said you were coming" said Jungkook cheerfully attempting to mask his nervousness.  

"I'm so sorry Namjoon, I was playing Call of duty at Jimin's and fell asleep on his sofa, I just saw the messages you left" he offered towards his annoyed cousin.  His mother locked him in an awkward embrace as his father visibly relaxed, he looked over at Namjoon who appeared to be confused, but said nothing.  Namjoon had known Jimin for a long time and he knew that Jimin didn't own a games console, nor would Jimin ever play call of duty, he remembered the group teasing Jimin once for his love of cutesy games like animal crossing. 

 He decided to leave it for now, but when he had Jungkook on his own he was going to get some answers!  "We decided to come to the city and see if you had settled in adeul" said his mother matter of factly, "we were so worried when you weren't here and found Namjoon's note saying he'd be out all night" his mother shot Namjoon a disapproving look over her shoulder as she said this.  

"I'm not sure if Namjoon's apartment is the best place for you" stated his father "comings and goings at all hours, staying out all night with loose girls! what example are you teaching my son?"  He was facing Namjoon now who's head was bowed and the tips of his ears red.  Jungkook was internally panicking, he couldn't leave now, he loved it here, he loved Jimin and he couldn't, no he wouldn't leave him.  "Appa" Jungkook said forcefully making his father turn to him,  "Namjoon has been the perfect host, he's looked after me in school, brought me into his circle of close friends and i finally fit in, I love it here, please appa don't make me move" .  

Jungkook's father was a hard headed old fashioned man with old fashioned values and did not like the idea of Jungkook living with this promiscuity going on.  Namjoon cleared his throat  "Uncle, you have the wrong idea, I was working last night, yes I was with a girl, but we are recording a song together and the studio is free if we use it at night and clean it", he took a CD from his jacket and placed it into the player. "This is a total misunderstanding, my fault entirely" bowed Namjoon. 

 A hip hop melody filled the room with a female voice followed by Namjoon's voice rapping "I left that note for Jungkook cos I wanted him to think I was his cool cousin, it was foolish of me, and a lie" Namjoon sighed highly embarrassed by this confession to the elder.  The song was amazing thought Jungkook, his father laughed at the obvious attempt at bravado and looked easier, accepting the situation as a  misunderstanding and Jungkook let out the breath he hadn't realised he'd been holding for what seemed an eternity.

After spending the day with Jungkook and Namjoon his parents bid their goodbyes and gave their friendly warnings that they would be dropping in from time to time to keep an eye on both of them.  Once they had gone Jungkook slid down the wall and sat on the floor letting out a breath.  "Right" Namjoon said "Spill, and I want to know everything!"  He wasn't smiling, he was pissed, and rightly so after the shit he'd just taken from Jungkook's father.  "Why did you leave that damn note on the table that I left for you and where the hell were you all fucking night!?".

 Jungkook looked up at Namjoon, he needed to be honest,  "I was with Jimin and that's the truth" said Jungkook as he felt his cheeks burning "but I didn't sleep on his sofa.." Jungkook was staring at the floor now as Namjoon processed the reaction coming from the boy.  He softened his approach and sat down next to him on the floor.  "what are you trying to tell me Kook? has something happened between you and Jimin?",  "Yes, I'm in love with him" said Jungkook looking up at Namjoon "I'm gay, I always have been, but I never told anyone".  Namjoon took a moment to process,  "Jimin, is he?" he questioned.  "After last night I think he might be" Jungkook said smiling. "Shit" laughed Namjoon, "It's always the fucking quiet ones eh! look man, I don't have a problem with you being gay, just talk to me yes? and treat Jimin well, he's fragile.  Damn, you could be the best thing to happen to him kook!".  

Jungkook felt a weight lifted from his shoulders, Namjoon was a cool hyung.  Feeling brave he turned to Namjoon "so, the hot chick eh?, I love the track by the way, but you don't need to impress me with hot chick tales" laughed Jungkook "Oh, I got my share of pussy last night boy, just didn't think your dad would appreciate all the details!" Namjoon said as he ruffled his hair.  

"Look, on a more serious note" said Namjoon as his smile faded "Your father, he's not going to accept your sexuality you know.."  Jungkook stared back down at the floor, he was well aware of that fact "We're keeping it secret for now, it's all so new, for both of us, you're the only one who knows" said Jungkook sadly.  "Ok kook" said Namjoon, his voice laced with sympathy "just be careful".
