Time Runs Out | Jikook

8

Jimin sits with his head tilted back over the kitchen sink as Jungkook massages his scalp, washing out as much glitter as possible.

Jimin relaxes and almost falls asleep a few times, but Jungkook always kisses him before he can. When Jungkook's hands cramp up, Tae takes over. He lets Jimin fall asleep.

After about 2 hours of absurb water use and copious amounts of glitter, Jimin scalp is relatively clean.

Jungkook wakes Jimin up. "Done."

Jimin blinks and yawns. "I'm tired..." Jungkook dries his hair and kisses his forehead.

Tae grabs his phone and car keys. "I should go. You look exhausted."

Jimin and Jungkook make it on his bed. Jungkook breaks the kiss and kisses Jimin's cheek. "What all did Sooyoung say?"

"She asked me if I was bored with you and I said no. Then she said she understood why I cheated on you with Tae and I told her off. She said you aren't an interesting boyfriend and I said you're not only my boyfriend but also my best friend and that I didn't appreciate her being mean."

Jungkook smiles and plays with Jimin's hair. "You're too good to me."

Jimin tears up. "She was being so rude and I couldn't help but get emotional because you aren't boring at all. You're wonderful."

"Jokes on her. People say Jin and I are really similar so she's in for a rude awakening."

Jimin giggles. "Let's hope she doesn't cheat on Jin. He's really nice."

"Jin would make a fool out of her. She'd be the joke of the school. No one gives up the opportunity to date Jin."

"Yeah, no offense, but I'd totally bottom for Jin."

"Same."

Jimin sits up. "Really? You'd bottom for Jin?"

"If Jin or Namjoon called me right now and said they'd top me, I'd break up with you and speed to their houses."

"I mean... Me too. I didn't know you were a switch."

"I'm not really. Only for them but they aren't even gay or bi or pan or anything."

Jimin sighs. "And Namjoon's a dad now."

"He's always been a daddy to me."

Jimin giggles. "I had no idea you had a boy crush on Namjoon and Jin."

"Have you seen them? They're godlike. Wendy and Sooyoung are lucky."

"Yeah, but I'm happy with you."

"Same here."

Jimin smiles and gingerly rests his hand on Jungkook's cheek. He gives him a kiss. "I'm so glad we worked things out last year. I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't dating you."

Jungkook pulls Jimin close to his chest. "Me neither. That's why I gave you a second chance." Suddenly he sits up. "Actually, I have a surprise for you."

He jogs out of the room and comes back a minute later. "Now, I haven't made a decision yet, but..." He pulls a large enveyout from behind his back.

Jimin takes it out of his hands and opens it. He reads it for a second before gasping. He looks at Jungkook and smiles. "No way. A scholarship for UCLA?"

"Yeah. Remember that I haven't pick yet, but now it's one of my options."

"When do you need to see decide by?"

"March 14th."

"What day is it?"

"Um..." He checks his phone. "January 30th. So I have a month and a half."

Jimin gets up and gives him a kiss. "I won't be mad or upset if you choose Duke. I hope you know that..."

Jungkook grins and nods. "I know."
