Jimin plops down to the sofa grabbing hold of the TV remote checking to see if anything good is on.
They had come back from their shoot of Let’s BTS half an hour ago. Jungkook had popped into the shower just as Jimin was getting done with his. The younger had insisted he stay but Jin hyung had promised to join them for dinner. He had never liked the delay due to their showering together back when they lived in the dorm and Jimin doesn’t think he’d appreciate the delay due to them showering together albeit in their own house, after having invited him there now. It had taken enormous strength to say no to Jungkook. That has always been the case but this time especially since he looked extra good with his new hair colour.
Soo fuckin good.
Jimin checks the time on his phone.
There’s half an hour at least for Jin hyung to get here… dammit should I go back in now?
And bam as if right on cue, his boyfriend walks into the hall, running his hands through his newly washed hair.
The mint shade is slightly fading and it has taken on a blue hue.
Jimin cannot for the life of him get over how good he looks.
“Baby my eyes are down here.”
Jimin meets them.
“Ha ha it doesn’t work like that. But also you look so good what am I supposed to do? Not look?”
“You can do more than look you know.” Jungkook smirks as he leans back next to Jimin on the sofa.
He leans back so far Jimin can see his shirt ride up. And it seems to stay there. He was literally leaning back and then holding that position.
What the hell?
“Are you trying to seduce me?”
Jungkook looks up, eyebrows raised.
“Is it working?”
“Stop it you.” Jimin smacks his hand on his thighs and then rests it there.
Damn these thighs.
Jungkook clears his throat.
“Who allowed you to look like this huh? What the fuck is this? What are these thighs Jungkook? Take them away from me.”
Jimin turns around from his boyfriend facing the other end of the sofa.
“Says the man with the sexiest butt in the history of all sexy butts.” Jungkook runs his fingers along Jimin’s forever tattoo on his right hand. Jimin pushes his hand back vigorously.
“Jin hyung will be here soon and I’m still not over the dressing room incident.”
“Baby I’m sure he didn’t hear anything we just barely–”
“Bup bup bup, is this not talking about it cos I thought we agreed not to talk about it?”
“Gosh fine. Now come here. I need to cuddle you like… right now.”
Jimin looks around suspiciously.
“You need to?” He giggles.
Jungkook nods all matter of fact and then lifts his eyebrows in a ‘May I?’ fashion.
Jimin nods back.
Jungkook leans forward and wraps himself around his boyfriend.
He struggles a bit to adjust his head on Jimin’s shoulder, in the process tickling Jimin and leaving him giggling again.
Jimin decides to finally broach the topic that’s been on his mind ever since the shoot. He had thought he’d wait till Jin hyung’s visit got done but this is as good an opportunity as any.
“Jungkookah?” He starts tentatively.
“Hmm…?” The younger barely makes the sound as he inhales the smell of Jimin’s hair.
Jungkook has always been sensitive to smells and Jimin smells divine, okay? Sue him!
“What did you think of my note to you?”
“Mmm…?” Jungkook lifts his head up, “What’s that babe?”
He was too damn engrossed in the hair sniffing to hear what the older had said.
“You know… me… making you say that?”
“What? Hyung’s copycat?”
“Yeah.” Jimin slowly turns around so they’re face to face.
“What should I think? It’s not the first time you’re accusing me of it.” Jungkook asks puzzled, running his hands through the smaller’s hair.
“No no I mean…. did that make you feel like I thought of you as a baby?”
“Aigooo Jimin!! No! You had so much fun making all those totally completely utterly valid points about me copying you. It was so frickin cute!! Did you not see me laughing baby?”
“Yes yes but on the way back I thought oh no what if I shouldn’t have… See I really wanted to write something to you and I wrote your name on top but then my mind went blank and this was the first thing that popped up that wouldn’t have sounded suspicious so I went with it. It was only while we were walking to the car that I thought of the possibility that you could have seen it some other way. But then Appa video called and it slipped my mind!”
“Ah it was so good seeing him back at the café right?”
“That’s what! This thing just flew out of my mind but then I remembered it again as soon as we got back and at the back of my head I knew it was fine… that you were fine but I thought I’d just ask you just to be safe.”
“Lol safe from what? So cute you are!”
“No shuddup it was a legit concern I had… I don’t ever want you thinking that I somehow don’t see you as an equal again!”
“Aishh what are you saying Jiminssi? You obviously can’t declare that you’re my boyfriend on official content I know that. You’re gonna baby me, you’re gonna refer to me as the cute maknae and whatnot…I don’t love it but it’s okay! Why would I take any of it seriously?”
“Yes but still….”
“Jimin it was adorable… you were adorable and I was just glad you didn’t write shady stuff. I was hoping you would write to Taehyungie hyung. But he was like it’d be me and I was praying it wouldn’t be me… I’m sure that would have been pretty obvious on camera but oh well.” Jungkook giggles, scrunching his nose up in the process.
Jimin pinches it softly as the younger continues.
“And then it stopped at me and I couldn’t help burst out laughing and then I thought okay cool Jungkook keep a nonchalant expression come what may you can spin it in some way but then you wrote that and I lost it again.”
“So you aren’t even remotely upset?”
“Okay you stop with that! I am not!”
“Sure?”
“Sure!”
“Okay cool cos you are such a copycat Jungkook!”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m just stating facts and you admitted to it on camera so there’s no going back from this.”
“So… all that… was?”
“No all that was genuine but now that I’ve confirmed what I was already pretty sure of Imma just rub it in.”
“Oh really?”
“Yep.”
“Oh really?” Jungkook repeats this time his hands crawling up Jimin’s torso.
He knows what’s coming.
“No Jungkook.”
But to no avail as the younger starts attacking him with tickles.
Jimin tries to strike back. A few breathless minutes later Jimin’s phone pings. Jungkook lets go off him and he sits up to get it.
It’s a selfie his father had sent him from the café.
“Awww look at him so cute!” Jimin leans back extending the phone to the younger.
“Yes just like you c’mere!!!” Jungkook beckons him closer.
Jimin beams at him before shooting off a quick reply to his father.
Jungkook returns the smile pulling Jimin back so that the smaller is settled with his head against the other’s chest.
He starts humming Magic Shop.
“ Days when you hate that you’re you, days when you wanna disappear…”
“Jungkoo-”
“Let’s make a door in your heart.”
“Jin hyu..”
“If you open that door and go inside…”
“Hyung will b-”
“…this place will be waiting for you…”
“Kook-”
“Aish Jiminssi shut your hot mouth right now.”
“You’re lucky you’re cute Jungkookssi.” Jimin elbows Jungkook mischievously.
“Aigoo can’t you just let me do this Jimin?!” The younger leans to the front so his annoyed face is visible.
Jimin giggles before planting a kiss on Jungkook’s nose, eliciting a smile from him, while he intertwines their fingers together and nods.
“Can I finally serenade you in peace then… mmm?”
“Go on.” Jimin encourages tracing his initials on the other’s hand lovingly.
“If you open that door and go inside, this place will be waiting for you…
It’s ok to believe, it’ll comfort you, this Magic Shop.”
