Work Text:
“Okay, Jungkook”, Jimin’s obviously lost his patience by now, no more fond nicknames for him, just his name being uttered by the older. Jungkook gulped, bracing for whatever words that may come his way. He didn’t expect Jimin to outright confront him now, or ever.
“What’s your problem? Why do you hate me so much, huh?” Jungkook could not believe his ears. Un-fucking-believable. Him? Hating his Jiminie-hyung? Bullshit.
“What the fuck, Jimin-hyung?”
“For someone using honorifics while talking, you are rude. Language, Jungkook-ah.”, Jimin responded with an icy tone in his voice. This is not good. Jungkook must get out as soon as possible. He was about to walk out of Jimin and Hoseok’s shared room when he felt the grip on his arms tighten. He’s never seen his hyung look this determined outside the dance studio when he is trying to perfect dance moves.
“Jungkook, whatever problem you have with me. It must be settled now. It’s either we talk now or never again.” What the fuck, this is unfair. Why is he given an ultimatum? Jungkook almost harshly removed Jimin’s grip on his arms and clenched his jaw.
“Are you threatening me, huh? I’m telling you, there is no problem! Why don’t you ever believe me?” Jimin closed his eyes and he looked as if he might combust any second. He opened his eyes and Jungkook realized how scared he is with the situation he’s in. He’s so scared to look Jimin in the eye because he knows that it will make him say things he will regret later on.
“There’s no problem?” Jimin gave him a smile, WHY IS HE SMILING IS HE ABOUT TO KILL ME , Jungkook thought. ”Then how do you explain the thing outside with Yoongi-hyung, huh? Why did you have to tell him about me not liking him back then when that’s like, a silly thing I said back when we were still young? We were genuinely having a good time then you’re gonna barge in and say something so fucking stupid that it ruins my night and possibly offended Yoo-“
“Shut up. Hyung loves you TOO much to end anything that's between you two for what I said, he knows that I was just teasing. Your relationship with Yoongi-hyung is not ruined so if that’s the only thing that you’re worried about then I’m gonna leave now to have some peace of mi-“
“Oh my fucking god. Are you really that dense? Don’t you realize that this is not the first time that you have ruined a perfectly good conversation of mine with any of our members? You always fucking do that! I’m so sick of your games, Jungkook. I’m tired and all I just want to know is if you really hate me that much to make me feel miserable all the time! I never did anything bad to you! I always took care of you, dote on you, smile at you even if you’re such a fucking insensitive brat who doesn’t even consider my feelings at all! I tried so hard Jungkook-ah but you make it so fucking difficult to stand you!”
Jimin is already gripping his shirt very tight and their faces are mere inches from each other. If Jungkook didn’t have a brain (thankfully he has even though it’s not quite useful) he would have closed the gap but no, this is not the perfect time to confess.
He pondered on his hyung’s words. And honestly, it fucking stings. It hurts so much because they’re all true. He curses his emotionally-constipated self for messing everything up and now Jimin is breathing so hard he can actually feel the anger in the air. He gulped so many times he might have looked like a fish out of the water.
“I-I… I don’t hate you, hyung. I really don’t.” Jeon fucking Jungkook you weak ass bitch . Jimin seemed to see through his words and slowly backed off until he was sitting on Hoseok’s bed, running his hands through his hair a couple of times due to frustration.
“I’m-I… I didn’t know that I affected you that much, hyung. I’m so sorry. I-I just… I can’t stand seeing you with somebody else.” Oh fuck there goes his brain flying out the window. Did he really just…?
Jimin slowly raised his eyes to meet Jungkook’s wide ones. His hyung has always been a transparent person when it comes to his feelings but now, he can’t even read what he’s probably thinking. Then Jimin seemed to have connected everything and it can be seen how everything clicked in him judging by how his expression changed.
“You are jealous.” The first instinct for Jungkook was to deny but he couldn’t find it in himself to lie once again. So he just stared back at the older.
“You are jealous because I don’t dote on just you anymore. You got so used to the fact that I always look after you and now that I managed to look at someone else you are troubled because you want me to only look at you.” He couldn’t have said it better. He’s being exposed but at this point he doesn’t care anymore. He licked his lips and nodded, breaking the intense eye contact. He sensed Jimin standing up, getting closer once again.
“But why, Kook-ah?” Oh for fuck’s sake he hasn’t got that part yet? I’M FUCKING IN LOVE WITH YOU, HYUNG . He could have punched his hyung out of frustration but then he looked at his face and the older is sporting the most confused expression on his face with that little pout he has grown to love and worship. His heart melted. His skin is cleared. He just wants to attack his hyung with kisses over his cute little face.
“I like you, hyung.” There. He said it. Oh god he is fucked. Awkward silence. Why is it that when he speaks, people like to make awkward silences? ( Flashback to that time when he told his Jimin-hyung to catch him because he said he wants to be a police officer if he weren’t an idol in an interview and everyone just stared at him as if he had grown two heads. They’re all so mean .)
“Uh, we have established that fact already but so what? I like you too. We all like each other, this is why our group has so much chemistry right?” Jiminie-hyung is an idiot . He wouldn’t know Jungkook’s feelings for him even if he made out with him right now. He is sure of it. But to make him even more sure, he pulled the older by the neck and kissed him full on the mouth. His brain already flew out so logic is not present at the moment.
Jimin, was of course, surprised by Jungkook’s lack of words with his response. He wasn’t sure what the fuck is happening and if he’s really snogging one of his members but he guessed he really is and his brain just kind of shut down and he actually kissed back. Why the fuck is he kissing back Jeon Jungkook? Why the fuck did they even end up making out he was expecting a fucking fistfight not this? It seems like they were forever exchanging saliva when he realized he needed oxygen and he pulled back to indulge himself with sweet air.
“Oh my god I think I almost died from lack of oxygen,” Jimin said while laughing.
There is no response.
Jimin looked at the younger who seems like he’s still not breathing with his face so red and his fingers caressing his lips as if he just found out that he has them.
Holy shit, he broke Jungkook.
“Jungkookie? Are you okay? Are you breathing?” he nudged the younger. He shook his body and the boy seems to wake up from his trance and proceeded to stare at Jimin, then his lips, then the lamp behind him then back to Jimin again. It seems like forever when he spoke again.
“You kissed me.” Jungkook squeaked.
“Uh, no. It was you who actually kissed me.”
“You kissed me back.”
“Err-yeah I guess you could say that I mean like I can’t explain that it just happened but it’s not much of a big deal I guess. I mean we just made out for maybe a few minutes, that’s what buddies do right?”
“We made out. Oh man, holy shit .”
“Yeah same.”
“Like if we don’t have lungs and don’t need to breathe oxygen we could have made out till tomorrow and-“
“Uh ideally but that’s impossible we could have stopped sooner or later since it’s really weird to snog your be-“
“Oh my god I felt your tongue inside my mouth. That was phenomenal. I think I love tongues now.”
“Jungkook, I think you’re-“
“And we exchanged saliva a few mins ago I thought it would be fucking gross but I actually loved it omygod I’m a changed man.”
“Jung-“
“And holy fuck your lips are all red and swollen is mine like that too? It's because of all the biting, isn't it? Yours look so good I-“
“Jeon Jungkook!”
“I-yes?”
“I think you are getting a bit distracted."
"Uh, hyung. What do you mean?"
"We just made out." Jungkook blinked at him as if he just stated that water is wet. Duh. Water is wet and they really made out.
"Yeah, that was phenomenal. 10/10 would try again."
"For fuck's sake Jungkook we just made out without any reason or whatsoever! Are we insane?!"
"What do you mean without any reason? I like you, hyung." Jungkook looks like a kicked puppy. What a sight.
"Yeah but, that much? Are we gay or something?"
"Technically, yes?"
"So it's like you love me?"
"Um, you could say that?”
"Wow my brain just short-circuited. I think I need to rest now."
"Are you rejecting me, hyung?" And now, Jungkook looks like a kicked and wounded puppy.
"Did I push you while making out?"
"No, actually you're the first one to enter your to-"
"You got your answer. Please get out of my room and I have to reflect on my life decisions."
"But-"
"Did you like my tongue?" Jimin, why are you doing this to yourself.
"Y-yes?"
"If you liked it and want to feel it inside you again then get out and let me think."
"...."
Jungkook doesn't budge. He looks like he is dying to say something and Jimin is just tired.
"Okay, ask me whatever it is."
"When you said I will feel your tongue inside me again, at what extent and what body par-" THIS KID NEEDS JESUS.
"Oh for fuck's sake! Get out you thirsty hoe." He cringes as he pushes Jungkook out the room with all the strength he has.
When he was about to close the door, Jungkook slipped his foot in.
"But hyung, do you love me too?"
"I-omygod can't you just, i don't know, figure that out yourself?"
Jungkook is silently blinking at him with his doe eyes and the most innocent and hopeful look (as innocent as he can be after basically asking jimin if he has intentions of rimming him in the near future) and so Jimin decided to open his door a little more and pecked Jungkook right on those lips, hoping he got the message.
Jungkook could not believe his luck and he was about to invite himself inside the room once again to kiss the hell out of the love of his life when Jimin pulled back, steadied Jungkook and did the finger waggle .
"No, you're not getting back in here because I don't want Hobi-hyung to walk in on us and no, I won't come over to your room to make out some more because first, I need to process everything that just happened, and second, I am not ready to live out those fantasies you have in your head tonight. Now move along and get a good sleep. Bye."
Jungkook nodded like a good puppy and gave him the fondest heart eyes and sweetest bunny smile then walked backwards facing him while cutely waving his hands. He mouthed annyeong then made kissy faces at him before shutting his bedroom door. What a weird child.
He shut his own door and finally took a deep breath.
"What the fuck just happened?"
Less than two weeks later, Tae was about to call out his hyungs, Namjoon and Jin for making out louder than usual in the storage room ( for fuck's sake?? ), when both hyungs suddenly went out from Namjoon's studio. All of them froze at the moment Tae finally opened the door and witnessed Jimin being lifted by Jungkook as he peppered his neck with kisses.
"We were just practicing the No More Dream choreo, Namjoon-hyung!" Jungkook whined.
Jimin closed his eyes and wished that he was back in the storage room by himself and locked there forever because that is the dumbest excuse he ever heard in his whole life. He wondered why Jungkook even bothered making an excuse if that's all he could come up with.
"Kid, listen. First of all, the choreo doesn't involve kissing Jimin on the neck and carrying him from the front. Second of all, who the fuck practices inside a storage room? And third, we are not even performing No More Dream anymore what the fuck were you even practicing for?" Jimin prayed to the gay gods that Tae doesn't ta-
"And we don't get boners while practicing. Right, Joonie-hyung?" Taehyung said in a voice that sounds like he’s just pointing out a fact but Jimin knew much better.
"Oh Jesus Ch-" before Jin could even try to hit Tae’s mouth with his choice of words, Jimin and Jungkook have already successfully tackled the third maknae on the living room floor as he dramatically cries for help.
"I fucking knew it, kid. When I was talking to Jimin you looked like you were gonna pounce on me and feed me to the snakes after you break my bones."
"Yoongi-hyung, no."
"I really was about to talk to you about it because you look like you'll kill me with your bare hands and your face was all red and there's almost smoke coming from your nose and ears."
"I do not!"
"One time I just slapped Jimin's ass then you looked like you wanted to slap me with the hand I used to slap his ass."
"I don't recall."
"You were so jeal-"
"Oh please I was n-"
"Shut up! I just want to know if you used my bed for sex because I swear to Go-" Hoseok screeched.
"Oh My God no." Jimin screeched back, covering his roommate's mouth.
"YAH HOBI-HYUNG! HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE US OF SUCH A NASTY THING? WE ONLY USE MY BED TO HAVE S-"
"ONE MORE WORD JEON JUNGKOOK AND I'M BREAKING UP WITH YOU."
