Infatuated ◆ JeonJungkook ✔

7

"So are you more the GTA or the animal crossing type of person?"

You were just a bit confused by Jimin's out-of-the-blue question, but mainly already used to it, so you took a moment to think of it seriously and answered: "Depends on wether I'm on my period or not I guess."

The brown haired laughed, blessing you with the sound that came near to angels singing.

One week and two days.

That's how long you had survived in this school. People stopped talking about you when they realized that Jungkook wasn't driving you to school, since you took the bus instead but you still preferred to stay with only Jimin, because getting to know the people that called your relation to Jungkook a 'one time thing' wasn't exactly what you wanted to do.

Jimin was like, the nicest person you ever met, always thoughtful and considerate of others, while being the biggest bookworm and physics enthusiast one could be.

Plus he wasn't uptight and really open about his sexuality, what is a rare thing to do in South Korea.

Never had there been a person you warmed up to so fast as to Jimin and you were more than glad that you found him accidentally, otherwise you'd be as lonely as your old neighbor Ms. Choi (though she owned a shocking amount of cats).

You were currently sitting in the school's cafeteria, Jimin having his nose buried in a book and you looking around the room absentmindedly while eating.

"I'm going to fail math class if I keep on going like that." You said, not really thinking about it, mindlessly flicking a crumb of your cookie in his direction.

He didn't look up as he spoke, though you questioned if he was actually reading and speaking at the same time or just using it as an excuse to cut this conversation short, "I could tutor you if you'd like."

You leaned forward, the idea of your grade's best math student helping you out sounding very promising.

"Would you really do that?"

"'Course. We can even meet this afternoon if you want to." He said casually, with an undertone that you couldn't really name.

You clapped your hands happily, "Great! Where should we meet?"

Jimin finally looked up from his oh so loved book, "Oh uhm... my mum's currently not there and dad's a bit messy so... is it okay if we meet at your place?"

You thought about it for a moment, "Well, at this time only Jee and Jungkook will be home, I hope this is not a problem for you?"

Jimin's eyes widened for a moment, "No! Not a problem."

Again with this weird tone. You nodded, excited to finally see a chance to pass your math tests, "Alrighty! We'll take the bus after school then?"

Jimin forced out a smile, "Yes. But please, don't ever say 'alrighty' again ."

An overjoyed Jee opened the door for you, holding a drawing in his hand that fairly reminded of a... dragon...?

"Look! I drew mom!" He exclaimed proudly.

You snorted and patted his head grinning, "This is wonderful, mom will be so happy when she sees it."

Jimin behind you giggled, putting Jee's attention onto him.

Said boy's eyes widened and he pointed at the stranger, "Who's that?"

"Jee, that's Jimin." You introduced your friend, smiling softly at the admiring look on your little brother's face.

"H-He looks like a kitten!" The youngest one shouted out all of a sudden, making Jimin flinch and you laugh, since you've had the exact same thought.

"Right." You said giggling and brushed your hand through the seven years old's hair, "And now go up and draw something else for mom Jellybean, we're going to study, so don't disturb us, okay?"

He sticked out his tongue, "Then I'm going to play with Jungkook instead!" What earned a weird sound from the brunette behind you.

"Your lil bro is cute." Jimin stated, making you chuckle, "Sometimes..."

Jimin was a surprisingly good tutor and you almost suggested him to take money for tutoring, but then you realized that this would mean that you'd have to pay for something you could get for free as well, especially since you knew that Jimin wouldn't give you a free card just because you're friends.

You did notice that Jimin was strangely stiff the whole time, but you brushed it off since he felt probably uncomfortable being in a friend's house for the first time.

Both of you were busy studying.

Until someone knocked on the door.

"Y/N? Your mom told me to tell you that she'll be late- oh." Jungkook stood in the door frame, a polite smile on his face as he slightly bowed in Jimin's direction, "Hi."

Jimin stood up, his expression having completely changed into an almost dazed one, "Jungkook." He whispered.

Mentioned one cocked a brow, "Yes?"

You watched your friend taking two rushed steps forward, causing Jungkook to do one backwards, obviously unsure of what this all was about.

"Jungkook." Jimin repeated, this time a bit louder, "It's me. Jimin!"

You were shocked at how desperate his voice sounded so unexpectedly and you saw in Jungkook's face how it slowly dawned him.

"Oh, right. Park Jimin."

"Right? Right?" The brunette sounded almost hysteric at this point, "Is this all you have to say? You can't be serious!"

Jungkook looked a bit helpless, his eyes flicking in your direction worriedly, "Look, I made clear that it wasn't anything seri-"

"I know!" Jimin interrupted him, and you almost gasped when Jimin fell onto his knees in front of your step-brother, "I know, that night you didn't search for something serious, but you felt it too, didn't you? This... us... this was something special!"

Your eyes were wide as you watched the whole scene in shock, slowly beginning to understand what this all was about.

Jungkook's gaze held something that looked like pity as he watched Jimin kneeling in front of him, a pleading look on the younger one's face, "I'm sorry Jimin, I told you you were too young to separate sex with feelings, it was your choice. But I didn't feel anything."

Your protective side kicked in when Jimin began to sob and you rushed to your friends side, heaving him up to stand on his feet, "Look Jimin... I don't understand what is happening right now but I think it'll be the best for everyone if you go home and take a rest."

You tried to calm him by rubbing his back, just like you did with Jee when he hurt himself, while feeling Jungkook's eyes boring in your back.

Jimin was a sobbing mess by the time you made it to the door, "I-I don't understand.. h-how.."

You sighed, gently stroking his arm, "I don't know Jimin." You really didn't, I mean you were mainly confused about the whole situation, "But everything's going to be better when you're at home, snuggled up in a blanket with a hot chocolate, don't you think so?"

He shrugged still sobbing silently, shoulders shaking.

"Should I walk you to the bus station?" You offered but he shook his head, "No, it's alright."

With that he said goodbye and you  waited a moment before closing the door, turning around to the reason of all this mess.
