When You Breathe...

I Realised I Love You

Both are silent in the car. Jimin touches his lips and glances over to Jungkook. They both smile and guiltily look down to their feet. Jimin grabs his phone out of his pocket and sends a text to Jungkook.

Jimin: The driver is taking us back to mine....

When Jungkook sees the message he glances over at Jimin who looks calm and innocent. He is neither of those things!

Jungkook: You haven't had enough of me today?

Jimin raises his eyebrows. He thinks carefully about what he should say and Jungkook smiles. This is fun!

Jimin: You'd be shocked to hear just how much of you I wanted back there..

It's Jungkook's turn to choke. Neither the bodyguard nor the driver show any interest.

Jungkook: I think you'd be shocked to find out just how close I was to giving you all of me back there

Jimin giggles

They look like 2 naughty schoolboys.

Jimin: Seriously though, I have one more favour to ask of you tonight...

Jungkook raises both eyebrows and Jimin quickly texts: 

Jimin: Not that!! I noticed the guitar... I'd really like you to sing for me. Like a live performance ;)

Jungkook glances at Jimin and nods.

They arrive in the parking lot and Jimin tells the bodyguard they are ok to go in on their own. He thanks them, Jungkook gets all the shopping and they enter the elevator.

Jimin wonders aloud, "Do you think those 2 are wondering what's going on with us?"

Jungkook had been thinking the same thing. "They aren't the only ones.." he jokes with Jimin.

Jimin just blushes and looks away.

"Let's put those things in a guest room upstairs for now." Jimin suggests. He takes the bags upstairs and comes down to find Jungkook making them both a drink. Jimin likes the fact that he is making himself at home.

"Hope you don't mind, I just thought you'd do this anyway and I wanted to save you a job," Jungkook says handing Jimin a drink.

"I like it. I want you to be comfortable here." Jimin responds shyly.

"So, do you want me to play something for you?" Jungkook asks.

Jimin nods enthusiastically.

"I have a couple of songs that you wouldn't have heard yet. One of them I only wrote this week so it will be a little rough."

Jungkook downs his drink for some courage and grabs his guitar. He sits on the sofa and Jimin chooses to sit on the floor in front of him. He sits looking up at Jungkook who holds his breath for a moment. My god, how beautiful this man is...

Jungkook is nervous but finds his voice.

Jimin is absorbing every word. It's a song about lust and pain, self-turmoil and harsh truths. Jimin can relate. This has been the most emotional 2 weeks of his life, it'd revealed so many hidden truths and emotions that up until now, he hadn't allowed himself to acknowledge and feel.

Where he was one of the most desirable men on earth, he had never experienced desire himself. He could have any woman he wanted and he was never interested. His 4-year relationship was a buffer, an excuse. He'd used the media, stalkers and endless hours of work and traveling - all as an excuse.

Then he met Jungkook. The desire was instantaneous. He experienced every emotion he'd been denying himself. Wanting Jungkook - needing him - was not something he could control. This had caused him so much fear and pain, it still did. He found it so difficult to believe that this beautiful man could want more from him than his fame and money. But the more he saw him, the more they spoke, the more he got to know him - the more addicted Jimin got, the more obsessed he became.

Jungkook finishes the last line of the song, "I realised I love you..."

Jimin is wiping his eyes. Through his tears, he starts laughing, "Why do I always cry around you?"

Jungkook puts his guitar to one side and pulls Jimin onto his lap. "Sorry, it's my fault... again." He holds Jimin closer, breathing him in.

"It's about me isn't it?" Jimin asks in a soft voice, "the song..."

Jungkook smiles shyly. "Yes."

Jimin turns his head to kiss Jungkook slowly on the lips.

"I've realised I love you too Jungkook."

Jungkook turns Jimin round on his lap so he is facing him, pulling his waist against his.

"Jimin," he says breathlessly, "What did you just say?"

Jimin looks him straight in the eyes, without his usual shyness and without any hesitation, he says, "I want you. I need you. I love you."
