Story by Fluffychims

Summary:

Jungkook and Jimin might have been just a little oblivious.

Jimin is on the verge of tears as he silently walks into his pitch black apartment.

Saying that the date has been a fail would be an understatement. Its not like he ever wanted to go on a blind date in the first place, but he kind of gave up resisting at some point due to his stubborn friends who kept nagging and nagging, continuously telling him that he should start trying to get over his ex.

Jimin wants to, of course. He desperately wants to move on and forget about his ex, who is now nothing more than a dark part of his past, only making him be engulfed with misery whenever hes reminded of a memory with him. Its painful, he hates how much the latter has hurt him without getting hurt himself in the process. Its just - its just that going on dates here and there really isnt his way to move on. It doesnt help. Jimin isnt that type of person. If anything, it makes him guilty to be using other people.

This fact seems to be acknowledged by only his best friend, Jungkook - because the others are all constantly attempting to find Jimin a new date, even after how many of them fail. Jungkook, on the other hand, knows Jimin way more than the others do and consequently, he knows Jimin isnt comfortable with the idea of using others to move on.

Jungkook is pretty much everything Jimin could possibly ask for. Hes patient, sweet and most notably protective towards Jimin. Its like the taller boy has a soft spot for him, because whenever the two are together, Jungkook is way happier and gentler than how other people view him.

Jungkook is the one who comforted him the night Jimin found out that his boyfriend was cheating on him, cuddling Jimin until he got physically tired of crying and fell into slumber. Jungkook is the one who found the said guy the next day and punched him hard in the face for hurting his precious Jiminie. Jungkook is the one whos always been there, always is, and always will be.

So Jimin doesnt even feel an ounce of hesitation whenever he tells himself that Jungkook is the highlight of his life. Because he is.

The blonds lips part open to let a deep sigh escape from them - hes desperately craving for cuddles and comfort right now, because going on this date has killed any leftover happiness in him, just like any of the other dates. He carelessly shrugs his coat off of his slumped shoulders, letting it drop on the ground and kicks off his boots, plodding towards the kitchen to make himself a cup of tea. Hes in his fuck everything mode once again. It sucks. He wants to cry.

His phone suddenly vibrates in his pocket with the arrival of a new text message, and for a second Jimin contemplates on whether he should even check it. He kind of wants to spend a night without any communication with anyone but his cat, however; if the person is Jungkook, that might be an exception. So reluctantly, Jimin reaches to his pocket to fish out his phone.

It really is Jungkook, and hes asking how the date went even though the answer is probably predictable. Jimin stares at the question for a while, wondering if he should say it went well to not worry or bother Jungkook, but then he realises he needs some comfort. Because after every date, hes reminded of his ex and the said guys name itself is enough to make Jimins eyes prickle with tears. So he decides to send a mere sad face.

The response comes quickly. Want me to come over?

Jimin, almost too quickly, replies with a Yes please, and locks his phone, tossing it onto the couch before proceeding to head to the kitchen.

Jimin has already finished preparing his tea when his front door is finally knocked. He eagerly places the cup onto the coffee table and struggles to detangle himself from his mountain of blankets, simultaneously half-walking and half-bouncing towards the door. He cracks it open, attempting to shoot a reassuring smile at Jungkook. The unsatisfied look on the tallers face tells Jimin that his expression probably ended up resembling a grimace more than a grin.
