A Reflection is Not Only What I Need: A Jikook AU Complete

Reflection: Jikook AU Chapter 5

JHope frowned as he looked at his phone to check the time. He had gotten up early to meet Jimin in the practice room to go over his choreography one last time before leaving him to his own devices for the senior showcase. JHope had graduated last semester and had entered into the Master's program for dance, even though he was also a trainee in a newly forming entertainment company. He was extremely busy, but he knew how nerve wracking the experience was, so he was willing to help his ex-roommate and best friend in hopes that the scout from his company would take an interest in Jimin and offer him a place on the dance crew alongside him.

"Where the hell is he?" JHope dialed Jimin's number, but he did not pick up the phone. "That hyung probably forgot to charge his phone again." He sighed. "He better be in that dorm; I am not hunting for him all morning."

He headed to Jimin's dorm, stopping at the quad for a much needed cup of coffee beforehand. When he reached the room he had once shared with Jimin, he rattled through his keys looking for the one that he never returned when he graduated and slid it in the lock, clicking it open.

"Jiminie, I swear, you need to learn how to charge your damn phone once in a fucking while." He saw a lump under the comforter and heard the soft sounds of still sleeping, even though the overhead light was on. Weird, Jiminie usually turns the light off, unless...he probably passed out cold. Idiot. The key in the lock should have woken him as he was usually a light sleeper. He glanced around for evidence of alcohol consumption, the one reason he might still be sleeping, but found none. He was surprised, however, that the room was relatively organized and neat. "Wow. You cleaned the room recently. That is a surprise. Normally I still have to come over and clean it for you. Get up, Minnie. You wanted my help with your choreography this damn early, you better not waste it. And I had to get my own coffee this morning, so you better be ready for criticism."

After setting his coffee on the bedside table, JHope reached out and yanked the comforter down and got a second surprise that shocked him speechless. Jimin was curled on his side, his head pillowed on his arm, sound asleep with someone else spooning him, an arm flung comfortably over his stomach as though it belonged there. Jimin had always been touchy when sleeping, but he was usually the one doing the hugging, not the other way around. JHope had woken too many times with the koala nearly suffocating him in a death grip when they shared the room as undergraduates to not know his sleeping habits. JHope could only stare at the young man that shared Jimin's bed. Who the fuck is that?!

The sudden light caused Jungkook to shift and bury his face into Jimin's neck, tightening his hold on the dancer. "Nnn..." He drew in a deep breath and exhaled, snuggling into the warmth in front of him trying to sink back into the oblivion of sleep, but his skin prickled as his awareness told him there was someone else in his room. He mumbled, "Go away, Tae. Let me sleep another hour..." He pulled Jimin closer again, and sighed, rubbing his face into Jimin's shoulder unconsciously.

JHope snapped out of his stupor as a wicked grin slowly made its way across his face. Oh, ho! So he knows Jiminie's brother! That is something at least. I swear I have seen him before. I wonder-oh, Jiminie, you are so going to get the tease of a lifetime, if not from me, from Tae! He saw Jimin shift and frown, starting to wake up to the sound of Jungkook's voice. Jungkook also started to become aware that it wasn't a pillow he was hugging. JHope realized he had about two seconds before he lost a prime opportunity to blackmail his best friend. Black mail, hell, wait until I tell my Suga-Suga! He will be demonic in teasing Jiminie! He fumbled for his phone and snapped a quick picture of the waking duo before they could become conscious enough to realize it. Oh Jiminie, you should have never slept in and had me hunt you down. This is going to be hilarious. Time for me to pay you back for the teasing you gave me for my school love affair!
