"C'mon everyone let's go rest, good job. We'll see each other tomorrow! Sleep tight!" Namjoon waved at everyone before disappearing into his van, the others members following him to go to their respective homes. As always jimin and jungkook sharing a ride, it was obvious since they shared an apartment too, but that no one, except from their closest people, knew. "Are you okay baby?" the younger asked seeing Jimin's eyes closed, his head tilted back and his breathing heavily filling the space between them; soflty Jungkook removed the red hood from the other's to loon at him more clearly "I'm just really tired, haven't slept for more than a day" he kept his eyes closed and spoke very quietly, he indeed looked tired, they were too excited to sleep last night and then the ceremony went on and on for the whole morning and after doing the live until now they didn't have a break to truly rest, but jungkook knew that wasn't just it. They all weren't strangers to being sleep deprived and although it wasn't very healthy they got pretty accustomed by now. "Are you disappointed?" he asked stroking his leg to reassure him, Jimin crunched his nose for a second "Maybe" he said so quietly it was almost unhearable "I know you all kept telling me to not look for it too much" he let out with a broken voice and Jungkook immediately looked at his face for a hint of tears, already worried, but luckily found none, Jimin raised his voice even more "But I couldn't help myself but to be hopeful. I tried not to but I just c-couldn't" a sob escaped his mouth and the younger didn't waste time in hugging the other tightly to comfort him. "I was stupid I know" he continued between sobs hugging him back "No you weren't!" Jungkook broke the hug just to wipe the tears under Jimin's eyes with his thumb, then stared at him to talk "It's normal, it'd be a lie saying that all of us didn't hope for it. It's okay to be disappointed, I am too" he kept stroking his hair while speaking "Are you? You look fine" Jimin said pouting a little, which Jungkook always found adorable, he nodded and smiled at him "I'm too weak aren't I?" Jimin lowered his gaze on his legs but the younger shook his head and raised his chin with a single finger "No, you're sensitive and and you're not afraid to hide your emotions and I love you for it" he said leaving a peck on his nose. The older couldn't help but to throw himself into the other's arms, trying to stop crying but failing miserably.
Once at home they throw their shoes away sloppily leaving them around and Jimin went straight for the bed while Jungkook went to the kitchen "I'll make some ramen, we'll sleep better with a full belly, why don't you go have a shower in the meantime" he proposed unaware that the older didn't hear a word he said, but discovering very quickly when coming to the room to find him already sprained onto the bed with his clothes still on. "C'mon baby, at least take the sweater off" he sat next to him and helped him slide off the clothing receiving a very soft moan in exchange, but when he tried to stand up again he was stopped instantly by a hand catching his and a distinctive groan telling him to not go "If you want me here make some space, you're like a starfish right now" he laughed at the cute boy who looked so tired to even raised his head or say a word that he simply moved his body a little to the side making enough space for the other to fit in. Soon enough they were wrapped around each other in a tight embrace and Jungkook felt the need to reassure the other better, although he was sure Jimin already knew everything he was telling him right now "Remember army's love is still our greatest prize, and no matter how many awards we won't get we still have each other which his already the biggest gift, you're family doesn't love you less and neither does anyone. It was a piece of metal we'll eventually win in the future or won't ever but it's not important" Jungkook wasn't even sure if Jimin was listening to him or he had already fallen asleep as he was stroking his back and hair, whispering to him "And most important we still love each other, we still have each other and nothing will change that. It's okay if you're sad, I might hide it better but I am too, trust me, but what I want you to always remember is that whenever you're sad or angry or disappointed I'm here and I won't ever judge you, so don't feel stupid cause you're not. You're the most amazing person I know and I wouldn't love you in any other way" and with a final kiss on the forehead they both drifted into sleep.
