Friends With Benefits

Chapter 6

The next morning Yoongi stands outside of his office with Hoseok and his editing team. Jimin was still asleep when he left for work this morning, so he just climbed out of bed and left for work, deciding to get on with his day like usual. The deal was to be friends with benefits so Yoongi wasn't going to act differently than before and make anything awkward. 

"Let's go with Obama." Yoongi suggests, staring at the two sample magazine covers Hoseok had propped in front of him. 

Hoseok groans, shaking his head at Yoongi's input. "No, no, no, no! It's too easy, too predictable. Go with Sam. He's stylish, transcendent of sport, has an ass like a kumquat."

Yoongi frowns, glaring at the photo of Won Sam and shakes his head. Why was Hoseok even asking for his advice in the first place if he was just gonna ignore his answers. "I hear he's kind of a jerk."

"No, he's not." Hoseok steps forward and scoops up the large cardboard prototypes and placing them under his arm. "You're just threatened by him because he's the greatest snow sport athlete in the universe and he gets more squirrel than an oak tree."

Yoongi throws Hoseok a hard glare, wanting to tell him how he really feels but doesn't get the chance as he gets cut off by the receptionist. "Hey, Yoongi-ssi? Park Jimin is in the lobby for you."

Yoongi whips around and nods his head in thanks. "Okay, thanks." He then turns back towards his editing team, noticing Hoseok trying to chat up some poor intern from the corner of his eye. "Let's hit this after lunch. Okay, guys?"

Hoseok turns his attention back onto Yoongi and throws a balled up piece of paper at him to gain his attention. Yoongi just sighs and walks off towards the lobby, but Hoseok just calls out after him. "Nobody wants to fuck Obama, man. He's got ears like an elephant. That's not the part of an elephant you want."

Yoongi just continues walking, not taking any notice of Hoseok crude behaviour and smiles sweetly when he spots Jimin sat in the lobby. "Hi!"

"Hi." Jimin stands up and straightens out his shirt from where it had crumpled up sitting down. "Sorry to just show up like this."

Yoongi smiles again, noticing how the younger seemed to be a little nervous. "No, no, no, it's fine. So..."

"Wanna take a walk?" Jimin glances up shyly.

"Love to."

They take the elevator down to the ground floor in silence, nobody but them and one other person in the small space. It isn't until they step outside the large work building do they talk.

"Okay, so about what happened, I..." Jimin begins.

"It was crazy and we shouldn't have done it."

"Exactly. No, no, exactly. I mean, it is so not me. I totally agree. Let's forget in happened."

"Great." Yoongi nods his head, focusing on walking down the street. 

"I mean, look, I've had one-night stands. We both have had one-night stands, none of which we're proud of, but..."

"Really?" Yoongi cuts Jimin off, smirking to himself slightly, thinking back to some crazy nights he had spent with strangers.

Jimin just rolls his eyes. "Look, to think that you and I could just have sex and without it compromising anything was just so..."

"Misguided." Yoongi supplies.

"Exactly." 

"I was gonna call you this morning." Yoongi begins.

Jimin glances over to his right where Yoongi walks alongside him. "But you didn't."

"But I didn't."
