D-Day.

Jungkook and Jimin's performance day was here and they still couldn't talk to each other without the awkward silence consuming them afterwards. No one knew what was wrong with them, just assumed it was lovers quarrel but Jimin thought of it as much more.

Even so, they practiced before the big performance, completely avoiding the elephant in the room. Though things were awkward, their bodies moved in sync perfectly. Like they were made for each other, their bodies reacted to one another like if the gods above handcrafted them to fit like they were once 1 piece.

Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook were written in the stars, even before they knew each other.

Jungkook clears his throat, catching Jimin's attention before speaking. "You look beautiful today."

Jimin looks down at his bare feet and his casual typical stay at home look they had thought out to show and then at Jungkook. "T-Thank you," Jimin rasps out. Jungkook was also wearing something similar as it was their performance outfits which gave the finishing touches to the story their dance performance conveyed.

He wasn't wearing anything impressive like he usually did for performances but rather today he wore his face bare, sporting it with his natural rosy cheeks. To go with the feel of the song, Jimin and Jungkook had discussed (before their fight) to dress down, to wear borrowed clothes that you only wear at home to seek comfort from the person you miss so so much. Something that the outside public would deem unfit to wear in public.

Jimin wore one of Jungkooks large white t-shirt that kept falling off his shoulder and some black biker shorts that left little to imagine how great his bare butt was from how skin tight they were.

Jungkook wore his grey modern hanbok wide open with the t-shirt Jimin custom made for him (specifically for this) that had a red heart embroidered onto the left breast and carried jimins initials right in the center of it. Then his grey matching hanbok pants fitting loosely around his muscular legs.

"Hey...about last time..."

"Kook, I really don't want to talk about it. Especially not here in front of everyone." Jimin says, facing down toward his feet. He didn't want to even talk about it at all. He felt embarrassed and upset about the whole situation, for the way he reacted that day, how Taehyung just pushed it aside like it didn't even matter that he was putting their entire friendship at risk.

Jungkook bit his lip while gulping the knot in his throat. All he wanted was to talk. Was that too much to ask for? So he stepped aside and he let Jimin sink deeper in his thoughts.

Jungkook distractedly goes over some moves of their choreography to try and perfect them even more than they already were. Trying his dang hardest to focus, he ends up stomping and sighing loudly making some of his classmates turn and look at him.

So lost in thought, he didn't feel his classmate approaching him. The guy bent to try to look at his stoic face that's been staring down at the hardwood floor for the past 2 minutes. He seemed genuinely concerned for the taller.

"Hey, Jungkook?" The smaller waved a hand over his face. Jungkook hums, not yet looking at him. "You doing okay?"

The taller sighs again. "Yeah..." It didn't sound too convincing.

"You don't sound alright."

"Jimin doesn't want to talk to me." Jungkook pouts unconsciously. The guy surprised as it was the first time seeing Jungkook so devastated. "Had a fight the other night and now he refuses to even look at me."

"Ah, that sucks." The guy sympathizes with him which quickly makes Jungkook look up at him. "If you want, some of my friends and I are going clubbing after this, wanna come?"

Jungkook hadnt been clubbing since he's met Jimin and that had been MONTHS! He figured it wouldn't hurt especially now to distract his mind off things that had to do with Jimin and their lousy fight. So he smirked his signature bad boy smirk and replied with, "sure. Why the fuck not?"

"Cool!" The smaller smiles. "I'll text you!"

"For sure!" Jungkook bids goodbye with a smile as he watches his classmate leave to his group of friends who're eyeing him funnily.

Meanwhile, Jimin couldn't help but listen in to the conversation feeling his blood begin to boil. How could he? Jimin was beginning to feel upset again and he swears he's trying his hardest to keep the stinging tears in but his eyes are beginning to hurt. All he achieved was a red nose and even redder cheeks from embarrassment.

After a few more minutes, they were finally called to the auditorium to perform their performance. Jimin was a little nervous as the whole entire university would be there, okay, maybe not everyone, but majority including Hoseok, Taehyung and even Namjoon.

Arriving at the auditorium, Jimin eyes Jungkook a few steps away from him, talking to that classmate from earlier. They seemed to get along really well, just the two of them. Jimin wasn't even surprised; he'd gone through this before. Where Jungkook can't handle having no one beside him when Jimin wasn't there to give into him. It was quite bothersome, really. The way that Jungkook can't restrain the need to flirt, the need to make someone fall to his feet in complete lasciviousness.

The seats already filled with people, the first performance was to go up. They were third but his nerves were already eating at him. With Jungkook smiling down at the boy who was smaller than himself, prettier than him, body like a supermodel-it was only upsetting him even more.

But it was finally when Jimin said enough.

Two could play that game.

Hi. It's been a while, I know. I apologize for taking so long. Recently, two family members from my moms side passed away from the virus, one uncle and a cousin, and now two of my moms sisters are hospitalized because of the virus, including 2 of my oldest cousins.

Sadly one of my aunts is in ICU with intubation and the other one thankfully recovering. Clearly I've been going through a lot.

But thank you, for waiting patiently for me with love and reading this story and voting for it. I truly appreciate it! 💜💜💜
