Chapter 7

●●●

Jimin's friendship with Jungkook only grew from there. They got more and more comfortable with each other, their daily rhythms slowly interlinking and aligning. They'd eat together, do homework together and sometimes Jungkook would spend the evening watching movies with Hobi and him.

"You guys have never done a sleepover, right?" Jimin asked curiously as he was sitting on Jungkook's bed, watching Tae do some homework.

"With whom could we have done that?" Taehyung asked, raising an eyebrow while putting down his pencil. "Jin and Jungkook are the only guys my age I know... I mean, aside from you. You're a nice change for once."

Jimin giggled contently. "Good. I wanna invite you guys to a sleepover."

Taehyung lifted his head in surprise. "What about your roommate?"

"He already likes Jungkook and believes him that you guys aren't dangerous... and he has had strangers sleep over before, so he'll survive." Jimin smiled, startling when Jungkook suddenly pushed open the door to the room and entered with just a towel wrapped around his waist. Jimin quickly forced himself to look somewhere else as Jungkook started rummaging through his wardrobe for underwear.

When he made eye contact with Taehyung the purple eyed boy was grinning widely. Jimin felt caught but forced himself to withstand the urge to break off eye contact.

"Jungkook, what do you say about us having a sleepover?" Jimin suggested.

Jungkook turned around with a wide smile, still not dressed. Not that he even seemed to be aware of all the perfectly defined goods he was flaunting. Jimin was kind of jealous that Taehyung got to be Jungkook's roommate and see that all the time.

"Yeah, I wanna have a sleepover."

Jimin smiled. "It's decided."

"They seem to be getting more and more." Hobi simply sighed as he opened the door to their shared room and not only found Jimin with Jungkook in tow, but also Taehyung and Jin, who kept glancing around the apartment awkwardly since it was their first time seeing other students' dorm rooms too.

"Let's have a sleepover." Jimin grinned and Hoseok groaned but opened the door wider for all of them to come in.

"Hey, I'm Hoseok. The guy who has no rights when Jimin has set his mind on something." He introduced himself and ended up receiving a sympathetic pat on the shoulder from Jin. "Our youngest is like that too."

"What movie do we want to watch?" Jimin asked, already opening his laptop and starting up Netflix. "What genre?"

While he was working with the movie selection Jungkook was making himself useful by pulling the lower part of his bed out from the area underneath it before properly clicking it into place. With the way Jungkook did it it almost looked easy, but Jimin knew what a fucking bitch that thing could be.

"I'd say comedy." Hobi suggested, offering the other two guests his bed to sit on for now, at least until Jungkook was done setting up Jimin's.

"Sounds good." Taehyung muttered, still looking almost in awe at their room. Jimin felt pretty proud. "What do you usually do at a sleepover?"

"Well, we're pretty boring. Some people play games and so on, but Hobi and I usually watch movies and then everyone cuddles up and sleeps and it almost feels like you aren't the lonely single you actually are." Jimin fake wiped away a tear before opening the comedy section on Netflix. "Okay guys, you're all going to judge me, but how about 'Bad teacher'? That movie is awful but funny."

None of them had a better idea so that was what they ended up picking. Getting comfortable on Jimin's bed was a bit of an effort, but Jimin was the last to complain. He was the one sitting right next to the wall, Jungkook on his other side. Which gave him the perfect excuse to cuddle up to Jungkook by leaning against his shoulder, which felt like a huge achievement with that ever growing crush he had.

And they just continued getting closer and closer, Jungkook seemingly just as willing to cuddle as Jimin because by the end of the movie they were no longer sitting but instead lying, Jimin with his leg thrown over Jungkook's and his head resting on Jungkook's chest. Nope, he wasn't being obvious. Not at all.

Getting up on the other hand was hard because Jimin had to leave that perfectly comfortable position by Jungkook's side to pick another movie. This time it was Taehyung who suggested to watch a horror movie to scare both Jin and Jungkook, who both couldn't stand them. Halfway through Conjuring Jungkook was grasping Jimin's body so tightly it almost hurt.

"Hey, Jungkook?" Jimin whispered, not wanting to bother the others, who were really focused on the movie.

"Yeah?" Jungkook whispered back, looking down at him, heart rate still a bit high from the last jumpscare.

"It's really hot how strong you are and all, but I'm slowly starting to feel like my shoulders might bruise." He chuckled softly and Jungkook quickly let go, blushing at the fact that he had been caught up in his fear.

"Sorry." He whispered and Jimin couldn't help but smile, grabbing his hand.

"It's okay. It's really cute actually." Not really thinking about it he brought Jungkook's hand up to his mouth and pecked its back.

When he looked back up at Jungkook the boy was blushing like crazy. He seemed to compose himself quickly though as he pulled Jimin's hand up to his mouth, this time pecking Jimin's hand. Now it was Jimin's turn to blush. He felt like that was pretty clear... the message of that gesture had been pretty damn clear.

"Jimin..." Jungkook muttered, but before he could say anything else Jin next to them let out a startled scream at whatever had just happened in the movie. Both Jimin and Jungkook stared at him for a couple of seconds before laughing softly, making eye contact with one another in that one sweet moment of silent understanding and then cuddling up to one another once again, this time even a bit closer than they had before.

After that movie followed another, one that Hoseok had picked this time, but Jimin really wasn't focusing on it that much. He was more focused on Jungkook's heartbeat underneath him, the warm, steady hand running over his side and overall all he places he and Jungkook were in contact with one another.
