Work Text:
"Can it ring already?" Jeon Jungkook asks the clock in his mind on the wall. It turns so slowly that the young student is questioning his life decisions; does he really need school anyway?
It's still five minutes until the first break and yes, he's (impatiently) waiting for this class to end. It's his last period, and then he can finally, finally go home.
Yes! It rang at last, the whole class straight up jump out of the classroom, but you know, Jungkook's teacher has other plans.
"Jungkook, can you please stay for a minute? I need to talk to you. I promise it will be really quick."
He nods, does he have a choice here?
"I was impressed by your latest paper work, Jungkook. I was thinking, well for the extra credits you can write another paper and if I like it, then I grade you up. What do you think, Jungkook?"
He doesn't know what to say. The teacher liked his paper? The young student doesn't know what's happening, but for the first time in a few years, he is proud of myself.
"Yes, I would love to do another paper. Thank you for this opportunity," Jungkook says thanks, with a big smile.
The teacher gives him a big smile back, which probably means that their talk is now over. Jungkook leaves the classroom, feeling very confident.
Until…
"Give me your money!" Two bullies are bullying a smaller, pink hair-dyed boy. The smaller boy has cute black glasses and a very handsome face, but now that Jungkook is looking at him it doesn't seem like the boy is having fun.
He looks very angry with the bullies, which he shows with a very angry reply: "No, I will not give you guys my money!" Instead of being frightened, he kicks the first bully in his guts.
The bully whimpers and is on the ground, unable to move. The second bully suddenly realizes how big of a mistake it is to bully the pink hair-dyed boy, so he just ran away from 'the scene of the crime.’
The smaller boy now has a big smile on his face, probably because he knows that he won this round with those two guys. The first bully is now getting up and as soon as he sees that smaller boy is looking at him with an angry expression, he also runs away, leaving me and the boy alone.
They didn't notice the other boy at first, but when the pink-dyed hair turns around, he notices him.
"I come in peace," Jungkook say half jokingly., raising his hands in surrender. He does want the pink hair-dyed boy to beat him too, to be honest.
"I know," the boy smiles back at the younger, showing his lovely face. Damn, this boy is beautiful.
"Umh… hi. My name is Jeon Jungkook. And you are?" He introduces himself.
"Park Jimin. Nice to meet you, Jungkook."
"Do you mind asking why were there bullying you?"
"I think it's because their mommy didn't give them their lunch money," Jimin answers making Jungkook giggle. He's right.
"I know it's a little soon, but… would you like to get out of here and go somewhere and eat something? I'm starving," Jungkook suggest, and now on Jimin's face is a beautiful smile, making his heart beat fast.
"Sure." Jimin says and he takes the younger's boy hand.
"Do not think of how his hands are soft. Do not think of how he has these sparkly eyes when he looks at me…"
"So you just moved here?" Jungkook asks Jimin.
"Yes, one week ago. And I didn't notice how much of a nerd I can look like?" He giggles. (He has a very cute giggle, Jungkook thinks)
"That's not true!" He objects, but he sees fast how Jimin is having a different opinion.
"I mean—the second I came to this school, those idiots attack me. I mean I know taekwondo, but I don't think they know that. So in a weird way I was winning even thought they both didn't know that."
"Yeah, you won – also, could you teach me some moves? I also want to defend myself so I don't get robbed or something?" Jimin is watching the younger, probably thinking that he was joking, but when he sees Jungkook's face, he suddenly offers his hand.
"Deal."
"Wait, you will actually teach me?"
»Yes, Jungkook, what do you think? I like you, so that is why I am offering you my hand, silly." He offers his hand to shake.
Jungkook laughs out loud, making everyone in the room look at them.
"Deal."
A Few months later
"NO, that's now how you do it!" Jimin is angry at the younger, because he didn't do a move right.
So he has to show Jungkook one certain move again, but he is getting tired. Jungkook knows that he is, but Jimin seems a bit off today. Maybe it's because of the school or something?
"I—I'm sorry, Jimin. I promise you to do better!" He apologizes quickly, but Jimin just shrugs it off.
"No, it's okay. I just kind of lashed out on you, that wasn't right of me. I am the one who should apologize. I'm deeply sorry, Jungkook, please forgive me."
"Jimin, what do you say if we just called it a day? We are both tired and tomorrow we both have a very busy day…?"
"Yes. Let's do this," Jimin agrees with Jungkook. He opens up the water bottle in his hand and drinks a few sips.
The younger knows that he shouldn't be saying this, but… can he can get cuter that he actually is?
"What?" Jimin asks, with a little smile.
"Nothing," he blushes, pretending to not staring at him. Jimin raises his eyebrow, questioning himself if he's lying or not, but he lets it go, clearly not happy with the young student right now. He knows that he's lying. He already knows Jungkook this well.
"Okay. But if you want to tell me anyways, you know that you can," he suggests, but he doesn't push the younger male to do anything. You can say that he gives him a 'free will'.
"I know," he says with a big smile, still kinda blushing. Jungkook doesnt really want to tell him that he has this huge crush on him since the day he met him a few months ago. Because... how stupid would that sound, really?
"I have nothing to tell you," he blushes again and still not looking into his eyes. Yeah, he totally knows that something fishy is going on.
Jimin sighs, ready do drop it, but then Jungkook blurs out. "I like you."
"Ahhh, Jungkookie, I like you too!" The older also pinches the younger male cheeks. Like he's some child.
"Thats's not what I meant," Jungkook, pouts.
"I know. But this is not the right place to have this conversation," Jimin says back, determined. The poor boy's heart sinks.
"He doesn't like me...—" his thought breaks into dust, when he kisses me. The pink-haired boy that he had a crush for so long – he just kissed the black haired boy.
The taller boy kisses him back, making his knees week and with a feeling like his heart is going to just run out of his chests. Jimin's plump and very full lips are on his, making his heart flutter. His lips so soft, yet so warm and stern. Like two oppostites but mixing it together it comes into a perfect duo.
He is addicted to him. Addicted to his lips.
"W-woah," It's all he can say after their shared kiss. Jimin is now acting like he's 2ft tall.
"Why?" Jungkook shyly asks.
"Because I also like you, silly," he says, winking.
"O-oh."
"Yeah," Jimin scrached his neck, feeling uncertain. "So,… what should we do now?"
"Can I have another kiss?"
He didn't even say that sentence untill the end and can already feel Jimin's lips on his.
Those two bullies are now again on the hall, making their next target at some poor girl who just happens to be at the hall at the wrong time. When they both start to soon-to-be-punching-her both Jimin and Jungkook go to them, already knowing what's gonna happen — they gonna win.
"You guys should stop picking on people who cant defend for themselves," Jimin angrily says, his face starting to become very serious. If the pink-dyed boy hates something, is those people who are picking on defensless ones.
"Why do you care?" Bully no.1 asks.
"Because it's my school, and I'm gonna protect it," Jimin answers, this time with a very angry tone.
They both know how it ended up the last time. So they both just know that is probably better to just go.
Jungkook amd Jimin high-five each other. Thd older boy of the rescue duo has a smile on his face again. The girl, which was bullied thanks them, but then, she runs away.
"Why did she do that?" He asks Jimin.
"I don't know, but I think it's probably for the better," Jimin takes his hand, gently holding it. The younger can say that the pink-dyed hair boy has really warm and soft hands.
His boyfriend always thinks for others and that is one of the many reasons why Jungkoom loves him. He also has a great sense of humor (he actually knows a lot of jokes!). But there is one tiny problem. Jungkook is not sure, if he can say its a problem. Of course, it's not a deal breaker. Jimin has a big scar on his body. It's between his heart and lungs — Jungkook saw it for the first time, he couldn't keep his mouth shut and asked him.
That time was first and the last time that Jimin had completly shut any questions down. He didn't answered Jungkook nor did he looked the younger in his eyes.
'I really don't want to talk about it.' Was his answer, and Jungkook dropped it.
But sometimes he still wants to know what happened. Why does he have a scar across his heart. Why doesn't he want to talk about it.
He had never asked him once again. It's because he's too afraid that Jimin will yell at him, so he never mentions the ugly scar again.
"Jungkook?"
"Yes?"
"Do you have time today after school? I wanna take you on a date."
"Yes, of course!" Jungkook say happily. "But where are you taking me?"
"It's a secret," he giggles. "But put some nice clothes, will you?"
"Sure." There is a shared kiss betweem the boyfriends, the boys almost forgottting they are in school — the bell rangs, which means they have to go on their seperate ways. They don't have the same classes together.
"See you soon!" He yells after his lover, and Jungkook being Jungkook, he send him flying kisses. He pretends to catch them and he puts them in a pocket near his heart.
The young male giggles, and then he goes to his class.
"Are you ready?" The pink-dyed hair boyfriend asks, putting his hand in Jungkook’s, while he drives a car.
"Yes!" Jungkook exclaims.
They haven't been on a date for a very long time and he always feels better whenever he has Jimin around. He makes
Jungkook so happy and a better person, to be honest.
They stop at a very famous viewing point in Seoul, but somewhere away from all the other crowd. It's kinda the young pairs' spot, per say. The city is so beautiful. Jimin loves the view almost as much as his boyfriend.
Jimin puts his head on Jungkook's shoulder, relaxed. The said boy feels so happy, almost euphoric right now. He has his boyfriend, he has the most beautiful city (in his opinion!) view and it's Friday, which means two days of nothing to do (not really, but you get what he means).
After a while, Jimin states; "you know that scar, that I have on my chest?"
"Yes?" It was Jimin who brought up the theme for the conversation, not Jungkook.
"It's because, when I was little… I almost died. There was a surgery and I have a heart of another person."
Jungkook doesn't know what to say, other then… "I love you. No matter if you have another's heart person or not. I love you even if you have a scar. Jimin, you are my life. I love you so much that I can't describe it."
Now all makes sense. Why he always have this feeling to help the others. Because someone else helped him. He has this feeling that he owns that person a life.
Which it's true.
"I love you too." They kiss under the stars. The stars that are so shiny tonight. The Moon that has a round circle around itself. Jungkook and Jimin. Even if his heart doesn't 'belong' to him. It 'belongs' to Jungkook.
