PHASE

13

Jimin was still in shock.

What?! I never knew he thought of me 'that' way!

He locked his door, scared at the sudden revelation.

N-No, it's probably just the alcohol talking... Yeah... That's probably it. It can't be anything else.
Yeah. When he wakes up? I'm gonna act like nothing ever happened...

................................................................

It was a Sunday.
Jimin sat at the window the breeze blowing softly through his hair, flicking it around as though playing with the blond curls as he looked out.

Hmmm... Kookie should be awake now. This'll work right? I'll just. Play it off... Yeah, I bet he's forgotten already.

"H-Hyung..."

Jimin jolts, his shoulders tensing from the voice he had heard, but he of course knows it all too well.

"Yes Jungkook?" Jimin turned around to face the younger boy.
"What's up?" He smiled, it was a really stiff smile, which made Jungkook wonder if it was truly real.

"What's wrong hyung?" Jungkook put a hand to the shoulder of the older chuckling nervously. Jungkook was truly perplexed seeing his hyung so tense.

"Umm... I'm okay Kookie."
To be honest, Jungkook's memory of last night was split in half as the other part was completely blurry.

"Uhhh... Okay then." Jungkook took his hand off of Jimin's shoulder.
"Did you... Umm... Have breakfast? Are you hungry? I can make some pancakes."

If being completely true, Jimin was truly relieved to see that the younger couldn't remember what happened and hoped he never remembered. It would've just made things awkward for the both of them, making the atmosphere unnecessarily tense and maybe... Nah, most definitely ruin their friendship in which they'd built for years.

"Nope... I haven't. And of course! I would never pass up on your pancakes!" Jimin giggled.

"Okay then! Let's go" Jungkook lead the way, hopping to the kitchen.

Now Jimin couldn't stop his giggles.
"YOU REALLY ARE A BUNNY!" He called after Jungkook who was now laughing as he ran down the stairs as Jimin followed suit.

"What do you wanna do today hyung?" Jungkook asked as he popped a piece of pancake he had ripped from his plate in his mouth.

"Hmm... I don't know... Oh! Let's go shopping?" Jimin suggested as he ate out of the plate of pancakes in front of him.

"Hmm... Okie then... The time's... 10:13am... Rock, paper, scissors on who does the dishes?" Jungkook cocked a brow while Jimin nodded.

"Okay." Jimin narrowed his eyes at the young one before him and laughed hard upon seeing him blush.
"Let's play."
Jimin slowly pushed his right fist out towards the younger boy, smiling as the younger did the same towards him.

"Rock paper scissors." They both called out at the same time.

"Yeesss!"

"wHaT?!"

"I'm gonna go get ready, hurry up and do the same when you're ready Kookie!" The older said to the younger, walking up the stairs with a spring in his step as though he'd won a lottery.

"O-Okay hyung..." The other murmured begrudgingly.

.
.
"Darn! Hurry up Kook!"
Jimin had a foot tapping impatiently at the ground, the tapping sounds naturally in rhythm with his impatient shouts, telling Jungkook to hurry up.

"I-I'm here! I'm here!!" The younger ran down the stairs for the second time that late morning putting his shirt on along the way.

"Good! Let's go then!!" Jimin huffed as they both made their way out of the house, Jungkook locking the door behind them.
