Chapter Text
Jimin is sitting on the couch that afternoon, shoving popcorn into his face and playing video games. He’s a little tired and tad bit frustrated , but he thinks he’s completely justified given that he’s been trying to confess to Jungkook for the longest time now and keeps messing up.
Honestly he doesn’t get why he’s finding it so difficult. They’re friends. It should be easy. Just say what he needs to say and get it over with. But it isn’t so easy. And that’s why he find himself taking out his anger on popcorn at 4pm .
Jungkook is giving himself a peptalk right outside the living room, amping himself up to go in there and just tell Jimin.
“Come on Jeon. You’re a grown ass man. You can do this. You aren’t afraid of anything. Jimin is just a tiny floof.” he tells himself.
And then frowns. “A floof? Great. Apparently Jimin renders him stupid and unable to use actual words too.
He takes a deep breath and forces himself to walk right in and plop himself down right next to Jimin.
“Oh. Jungkookie. You want some popcorn?”, Jimin offers distractedly.
Popcorn? “No hyung listen.”, Jungkook says and takes the control out of Jimins hand.
“Hey! I was using that!” Jimin protests.
“No. Shh. This is really important okay?” Jungkook says slowly, making sure his hyung was paying attention. Jimins demeanor shifts from playful to serious.
“Oh. Alright. I’m listening..” he turns his body to face the younger and waits.
Jungkook exhales. Its now or never. “Hyung.. see...you used to be really irritating okay?”, he tries.
“Excuse me!?” Jimin squawks and Jungkook winces. Bad choice of wording apparently.
“Used to. Not anymore. Just...listen. So you used to be really irritating and loud and I hated how annoying you were and I used to want to commit homicide every time you spoke”
Jimin blinks. What the everloving fuck. Jeon Jungkook was rude and horrible. He does not love this asshole. He has been lied to!
“But...then we became friends”, Jungkook continues, ; and i realized you aren’t nearly half as bad as I thought you were..”. He smiles at Jimin a little uncertainly.
“Jeon Jungkook are you insulting me or not?”, Jimin huffs out, feeling confused.
“Never.”, the younger chuckles. “Hyung. I want to tell you something.” he swallows thickly.
“...tell me something?” Jimin echoes.
“I..yeah. See. Um...the thing is like, i mean we’re friends now. Like..we’re close right? So I mean...you’re like really important to me and I just feel like i should tell you but I don’t know how to say this...and...goddammit Taehyung said it would be easier than this!” He pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration.
Jimin is a little statrled if he’s being honest. Jungkook looked really worked up about whatever he was going to say. “Hey...its okay..just take your time okay? I’m listening.” he tries to calm the younger down.
“Its just..I’ve been trying to tell you this for a while and its so hard okay!”, Jungkook whines. “Look”, he says and squishes Jimins cheeks with both his palms. “You are small and clingy and annoying....but you’re also the cutest and sweetest thing in this world.”, he declares.
“I’b wub?”, Jimin asked through his squished face.
“And I think you’re becoming a problem in my life because I can’t breath properly every time you smile and you’re eyes look like they’re smiling too and you laugh and it sounds like little tinkling bells and everything just feels right but its not right because there are no bells because I’m just hearing them in my head, so obviously you’re literally driving me to insanity. But its okay I mean I’m fine as long as you’re fine you know?”, he rambles on, avoiding eye contact.
“And then yore just so tiny like hyung it’s not okay to be that small okay you’re so damn tiny and I just wanna hold you all the time and squish you I mean hello! look how cute your squishy face is. And it’s really difficult to exist around you when all you make me wanna do is fling myself off the building and all I do is complain about how fast my heart beats because of you. It’s unfair honestly!”, He huffs.
“Oh.”, Is all Jimin can manage. Because he’s not certain he’s awake right now. This must be some sort of daydream. Did Jungkook really just say all of this or is his mind playing tricks on him? “...What?”, he says intelligently.
“H-hyung!”, the younger groans in frustration.” I really like you okay so please can you just like me back and then we can be real fake boyfriends..real..real boy-whatever. Just give me more than an ‘oh’” he complains.
Jimin stares at him for what feels like a good solid minute before launching over, toppling Jungkook onto his back and kissing the living daylights out of him.
“Idiot.”, he chuckles as he pulls back. “I liked you first. Always copying me”
Jungkook simply smiles and pulls him down for another kiss.
