Black eyes🥀

Jungkook slid into the seat next to Jimin who smiled at him as he picked up the menu again Jungkook looked at Taehyung who had a red face said he was laughing.

""What do you recommend Hyung?" Jungkook pushes the menu towards Jimin.

"Oh the Shrimp Alfredo is so good. You'll enjoy it. I'm getting the same. Plus Taehyung is paying so it's whatever." Jimin laughed and Jungkook laughed as well.

"So how'd you like work yesterday?" Jungkook nodded.

"It was pretty good Yoongi is nice, I have work again tonight." Taehyung went red, his ears glowing dangerously.

"Y-Yoongi?" He mumbled. Jimin looked at Taehyung who was now shooting Jungkook glares.

"Ignore him. They have history." Jimin comforted Jungkook who felt yet again unwelcome by Taehyung.

"I'm sorry" Jungkook scratched his nape and Jimin rolled his eyes and flipped Taehyung off.

"I'm so sorry about his attitude." He apologized.

  They ate their food peacefully, Jungkook trying his best to warm up to Taehyung who would pass facetious jokes and Jimin would kick him under the table to be nicer.

A ringing sound interrupted their conversation and Jimin picked up his phone.

"I'm sorry I've gotta take this." He left the table and Jungkook was already dreading being left alone with Taehyung.

He awkwardly picked up his fork and ate some of his food. He can feel Taehyung boring holes in him and finally decided to look up.

They made eye contact but Taehyung wouldn't break it.

"I'm sorry for being an asshole" he says finally breaking the ice. Jungkook nodded.

"It's ok, I'm probably just some guy who barged into your friendship I don't blame you." Taehyung nodded and mixed his drink with his straw.

"So... you work with Yoongi now? I mean not that it's important to me I have a boyfriend now." He scratched his nape and cleared his throat.

"Yes I do, he's nice." Taehyung hummed. He crossed his arms and stared at the drink wistfully.

"We used to date, I really liked him but we just got busy with school and two different majors so I broke it off." Jungkook didn't know why he was telling him this but he wasn't complaining.

"So you still had feelings for him when you guys broke up." Taehyung practically froze and looked at Jungkook

"Yeah" he said in realization. Jimin came back and slid in to his seat and realized the stifling tension in the air.

"So apparently my teacher emailed my mom? To really take this competition into consideration. But I don't want to. You get me?" Jimin reasoned and Taehyung rolled his eyes.

"This kid has a chance to get into the top art school in the world and he doesn't want to take it." Taehyung said looking at Jungkook who furrowed his eyebrows.

"How can you not take that?" Jimin was filled with a feeling to see Jungkook warming up to both him and Taehyung.

"I don't want to leave people behind to go to france." Jimin said obviously.

"Well you'll still have me, I go there to visit my grandparents sometimes." Jimin gagged.

"Everyone except you Tae." Taehyung was slightly offended but not by much.

"I've seen your paintings they are pretty good. You deserve world wide recognition and you also deserve to go to a nice school." The inspirational words left Jungkook's lips and baked in his head. Jimin looked at Taehyung who's eyes were wide open and shrugged.

"I guess you're right." He mumbled playing with his folded napkin. "I'm not sure I'll do it yet but I wanted to ask you a question Jungkook." He pointed to himself and Jimin nodded.

"I have to paint a portrait for my art class can I use you as my model?" Jungkook coughed continuously and held his chest and Jimin passed him a glass of water.

"So?" Jimin nervously laughed

"On one condition. Jungkook held up one finger." Jimin furrowed his eyes brows.

"Join the competition."

  Jungkook looked at the blank paper that only had his name written at the top in pretty cursive letters.

"You want me to write interesting facts about me?" Jimin nodded handing him the pen.

"Yeah, I need to be able to reflect your life in my painting." Jungkook swept his foot on the ground looked at the pen.

"I don't have anything interesting about me." He shoved the pen and the canvas towards Jimin and Jimin shook his head no.

"That's a lie. Where are you originally born?" He asked.

"Busan." He said.

"Well, write that down." Jungkook carefully wrote I'm from busan. On his paper and Jimin felt content so far with his idea.

"What year were you born." Jungkook inscribed 2001 underneath his birthplace.

"What's your strongest point?"

"Reading and writing." He said excitedly. Jimin adored his excitement for the simple topic.

"Really?" Jungkook nodded.

"I wanted to be an author when I was younger and more of an idiot, now I know it just can't happen." Depression lingered in a fine mist between the two as the words left his mouth.

"Oh please. If you just have a laptop and a person who'll be willing to publish it. Then boom you have your own book." Jimin said to brighten him.

He smiled and agreed jotting down reading and writing. On the paper.

"Is there a specific due date for this?" Jimin hummed.

"Now a week." He said taking the paper. "I just need to get a quick rough sketch of you I know you have to go to work in like an hour. Stay still." Jungkook looked at him and stayed still as asked.

It grew quite as the wind blew through his hair and Jimin's. They could hear kids playing and laughing, dogs barking faintly, and people having everyday conversation.

  Jungkook made eye contact with Jimin quite frequently who looked up at him and down at the paper.

Jimin was handsome. He realized that as he would stare at him. He wasn't posing for a rough sketch now. He was admiring Jimin.

His eyes a deep fascination black, dripping concentration, his hair with light gray highlights poking out every now and then.

Within forty five minutes that went fast Jimin was done,holding up the paper.

"Here, this is it." He smiled and Jungkook's heart sank.

"Holy crap this is so good. It's like I'm looking in a mirror." Jungkook said holding the paper up next to him.

"Stay right there." Jimin held up his phone and quickly snapped a picture of him. He showed Jungkook the photo and he smiled.

"Wow."

"Permission to post it to my art page?" Jungkook nodded.

"Permission granted."
