Too Young | Jikook

21

Jimin sits on the edge of Junghyun's bed in his ridiculous ear flap hat and puffy black jacket. Junghyun is taking a really long time talking to his mom.

Jimin plays with his fingers and hums the theme song from a TV show that he can't remember the title of. It was some romantic comedy staring that one famous red head that he also can't remember the name of.

He hears a soft knock on the already open door and looks up. Jungkook is standing there with a black shirt and some basic grey sweats on. "What are you doing?"

"... Waiting for Junghyun."

Jungkook glances down at Jimin's jacket and back up at his face. "What's up with the jacket? It's not that cold in here."

Jimin gulps. "We're gonna go out in the snow for a little bit."

Jungkook walks in the room and shoves his hands in his pockets. He looks Jimin up and down again, chuckling. "You look tiny."

Jimin nods. "This jacket is way to big for me, but it's the only one Junghyun could find."

"It's our dad's. I could give you one of mine if you want to feel less ridiculous. It'll still be too big on you, but not as big as the one you're wearing."

Jimin blushes slightly. "I don't have a problem with this one..."

"You look like you won't be able to stand up if you fall over. Just wait a sec." He leaves the room and comes back a minute later with a black winter jacket.

Jimin takes off the obnoxiously puffy one and puts on the one Jungkook brought for him. The first thing Jimin notices is how it smells like him. Like... Old Spice body wash and Armani cologne.

The first thing Jungkook notices is the fact that Jimin looks extremely adorable in an oversized jacket, especially since it's his. It makes it look like they're a couple. He doesn't mind it. In fact, he kind of likes it.

He's always had a thing for Jimin, but he can't do anything about it. Junghyun always tries to get in the way.

He takes a step closer to him. "It looks good on you."

Jimin's eyes grow wide briefly, but quickly return to their normal size. For a second he thought Jungkook was flirting with him, but that's impossible. That would never happen. "Oh. Thank you..."

Jungkook reaches up and messes with the pompom on top of Jimin's hat. "Where is this from?"

"My mom told me to wear it. My ears get cold easily..."

Jungkook grabs Jimin's wrist gently. "This healed nicely."

Jimin tries to pull his wrist away but he can't. He's totally pliant. Jungkook is so close to holding his hand.

Jimin eventually manages to scoot back more on the bed. Jungkook still doesn't let go of his wrist.

Jungkook grabs his other wrist. "Just relax. Junghyun can deal with it."

Jimin blushes and gulps. "Deal with what?"

Jungkook lets go of Jimin's wrists and sighs. "I know you like me. Junghyun told me 2 years ago and told me to stay away from you."

Jimin's heart stops and all traces of emotion leave his face. He just stares blankly ahead. Junghyun told him? He's known this whole time?

He feels like an idiot. Of course Jungkook has just been teasing him this whole time. He's not flirting.

Jimin sniffles and starts taking the jacket off. "I'm going home."

Jungkook stops him and pulls the jacket back onto his shoulders. "Why?"

"You're just messing with me."

"What?"

"You've seriously known this whole time?" His voice noticeably breaks on the last syllable.

Jungkook nods. "Junghyun talked to me when he noticed that I liked you back."

Jimin looks up at him and lets out a tiny, "Huh?"

"I like you too. I thought you knew that."

"I had no idea."

Jungkook smiles. "Hey, why have you been ignoring me?"

Jimin sniffles. "Because I thought you'd never like me back. I-I was trying to forget about you."

Jungkook starts leaning in and Jimin tries to lean away. He ends up trapped against the mattress. "You can't kiss me. Junghyun might see."

"He's busy. I promise he won't see."

Jimin glances back at the door and hears that Junghyun is still downstairs talking to his mom. He looks back into Jungkook's eyes and nods.

Jungkook closes the small gap and gives him the first of many kisses to come.
