"So... is that Jeon Jungkook kid your boyfriend?"

Yoongi asks from his spot on the couch, where the two of you occupy opposite ends. For the first time since he's become a sought after music producer, he's free on a Friday night. To celebrate the rare occurrence, you're doing Netflix and chill at your apartment. And by chill, you mean none of that other stuff because doing that with Yoongi... Ugh, incestuous!

"N-no! What gave you that idea?"

You tug on the fluffy blanket you both share until it covers your chin. In retaliation, he tugs it even harder, leaving half of your body exposed to the cold. As usual, you have your heater set to the lowest setting to save on your utility bill. The fierce tug of war only gets resolved after you give up your position and huddle next to him.

"Because..." Yoongi drags his words out as if he's talking to a child, "for the last month, he's all you've talked about."

"That's not true! I also talk about other things..."

He raises an eyebrow.

"I talk about work and games... and...  and... stuff!" Your whiny tone makes you wince. Lying is not your strongest suit especially with Min Yoongi who can read you like a book.  "Anyway, why do you insist on calling him a kid? What are you? An old man?"

"Anyone born after 1993 is a kid in my eyes."

"Pfft!" You roll your eyes. "And what about me? I'm older than you so does that make me a grandma?"

"No," he said, chugging on his bottle of beer, "you're a fossil."

"Ya, Min Yoongi-ssi!" You smack his thigh for his impudence.

"What?" He repositions himself on the sofa, so he now has his legs stretched out above your lap, while he supports his head with a pillow.

"You're really annoying, you know that?"

"I know. Now shut up and let me watch the movie in peace."

"You started this conversation," you grumble, but go back to the action flick you're streaming. You try to focus on the high-adrenaline car chase that's currently on screen, but Yoongi's question keeps nagging at the back of your mind.

What are you and Jungkook?

Since you went out for dinner, the two of you have been seeing each other almost daily. Although you initially protested his suggestion to pick you up from work, you now find yourself anticipating it. The way his face lights up when he spots you walking out of your office building is your new addiction. Sometimes, you'll stop to eat on the way home or, to Seokjin's delight and Jungkook's chagrin, you'll insist on a drink at the book cafe. No matter what, he doesn't leave you until he makes sure you're safely inside your apartment building. Then there's the texting. Both of you are unfailingly polite in real life, but when it comes to Kakao messages, you flirt like there's no tomorrow. Just this morning, he sent you a video of him working out. You're certain it's sole purpose is to torture you and it worked. It's embarrassing how much time you spent trying to decipher the muscles underneath his oversized shirt. Plus the groaning. Oh god, the groaning. Just the thought of it makes your cheeks warm.
