Chapter Text
the door banged open. all eyes went wide, taking in the intruder’s looming figure.
jeon jeongguk.
what the fuck?
jimin’s just minding his business, on one hand a stack of papers so messed up and mused with words scribbled all over, the other his admissions paper. this is the nationals tryout team and jimin will be damned if he forgets to completely submit all forms and papers needed.
the 3 proctors cock their heads, one fixes her glasses, frown on her face, mouth about to form the question everyone is thinking;” what the bloody fuck is jeon jeongguk doing here?”
the boy is soaked. from head to toes. in sweat. probably from running here right after basketball practice at the ungodly hour of 6am.
he just stands there. like roadkill. like sundae melting on a hot sunny day.
his eyes search. when they find jimin, he unexpectedly rush up to the shocked and bewildered blonde.
“hey.”
jimin is still gaping.
jeongguk smiles. wait, scratch that. he grins. white pearls on display proudly, eyes forming crescents, brows shooting up so much that itd disappear beneath his hairline.
the tall, lean boy easily towers over jimin.
just then, as if someone poked a finger at the atmosphere in the room, one of the proctors cleared her throat and lifted her glasses up, in the typical “please get the fuck out so we can move on speech” manner and said” while im glad to finally see you mr jeon after your 2 month break, please move along or take your business else where. people are here to take a test.”
jimin winces, ms chuhwa has always had a bit of an issue with jeongguk getting special treatment for being the star player of the school’s basketball team as well as excelling in studies even though he misses about half her classes each term.
jeongguk juts out bottom lip in a pretty pout, jimin resists the urge to coo. his childhood baby-like friend is so cute.
he pulls jimin to a corner.
he whips his hand out, eyes sparkling.
“gimme a high five and youll ace this shit minie.”
jimin scoffs a disbelieving laugh but fist bumps jeongguk instead.
“run along dude, ms chuhwa might mark my exam out of spite.”
“oh what she gon do. youre everyone’s favorite. you simply can do no wrong.”
the words have gone softer, lilting and sweet, just like jeongguk.
jimin blushes and proceeds to push the boy, not really doing much besides unwittingly pushing himself backwards even more.
“bye wish me luck boo. shower. you smell like the zoo.”
jeongguk reaches forward and ruffles jimin’s hair which sends nasty ass butterflies up and down his stomach.
“bye minie. youll do great. fighting!”
he hastily dashes-more like yeets-outta the room, leaving jimin in soaring spirits and a shit-eating grin on his face.
jeongguk ran 5km here at 8am for jimin. risked his ass getting detention for interrupting an important exam for jimin. will most likely get his ass handed to him later when he misses his 9am class to jog back here to wait for him.
even though jeongguk will be tasked with cleaning the gym as punishment later today, theyll still have time to cuddle tonight and finish season 10 of modern family and eat two tubs of ice cream.
he sighs wistfully, smile still gracing his face. hes sure, for as long as jeongguk is in his life, is his life, the smile would never waver, would never leave.
