Work Text:
it's late like really late it's 3am but jungkook couldn't wait anymore he's tierd and he's sleepy and he kinda feels homesick. he takes a moment before putting in the code because jimin is most probably asleep right now he's trying to fix his sleep schedule he got a goodnight text from him 3hrs ago.
jungkook sighs he should have just gone to his place he could have come here yesterday he knows jimin is free tomorrow but he couldn't wait it's been a month since they got to properly spend time together since they got to sleep next to eachother and they were together in newyork for few days but both of them were so busy they could barely spent anytime togather. and he's tierd so he puts in the code and gently opens the door and enters the apartment.
they live 20 mins away from eachother it's just 20 mins but on days like these it feels like they're miles away from eachother. and he understands the reason why they live away from eachother in separate places, they've lived together for more than 10years so they decided it'll be ok to have their own places have a place for themselves for a while atleast ,plus it's safer this way but on days when he's tierd from work and from the world in general he just wants his boyfriend next to him he doesn't understand why they agreed to living separately on days like these.
he enters the living room and takes off the jacket and puts in on the couch jimin appartment feels more like home then his has ever felt, here he can see little reminders of jimin's presence everywhere. the little throw blanket on the couch that jimin brought 4 years ago because jimin said and jungkook quotes "it feels like clouds kook, i feel like i could disappear in this." the notebook on the coffee table is the one that he got as a gift from yoongi that he now uses to write lyrics. the little stress ball on the floor, his sweatshirt on the couch (which is jungkook's), photos on the walls of them togather them with their families and friends everything is so overwhelmingly jimin here it makes jungkook feel at ease like he's somewhere where he can just be.
the house is quite and dark expect for the tiny night lamps in the room, jimin doesn't like having his place completely dark at night hence the tiny night lamps. he first goes to the kitchen and gets a glass of water to drink. he doesn't understand why he feels so tierd and anxious it wasn't his first time promoting something he has done it before when the schedule was much more worse, he doesn't understand from where the anxiety came from and he just wants it to stop .he's so glad his promotion period is over for now he feels like he can finally breathe being around people he doesn't really know was making his anxiety worse. so after having a shitty day here he is at his boyfriend house uninvited (not really because jimin told him several times that he can come here whenever he wants)
jimin has been busy as well he's been working on new music he barely has time to do anything other than work, suddenly he feels stupid for coming to him at this hour he knows jimin is tierd as well, he was in the practicing room the whole day today. he shouldn't have come he could've just waited for one night he sighs and puts the glass back at it's place and convinces himself that he's in his house now might as well go to his room and see him, jimin wouldn't mind jimin loves him he wouldn't mind. so he gets out of the kitchen and walks towards the bedroom.
he gently opens the door to jimin's bedroom and sees jimin sleeping buried under the blankets, he makes his way to the bed. he should probably change before going to bed he has clothes here but it's like his brain can't comprehend anything other then jimin and bed so he tries to get under the covers carefully without making any noise and not to startle jimin or wake him up but he feels as jimin starts to wake up from all the movement he slowly opens his eyes "what-" he mumbles sleep very very evident in his voice, when he sees jungkook he's expression goes from sleepy to sleepy confused"jungkook what are you doing here what time is it?" he asks trying to get up, "no no hyung go back to sleep it's 3am" jungkook replies when he sees jimin trying to getting up he goes and sits beside him.
"I'm sorry didn't mean to wake you up" jungkook says in an apologetic tone. "it's ok" jimin says "everything ok? i thought we were meeting tomorrow afternoon?" jimin asks looking up at him from where he's lying on the bed and god how is jimin so beautiful even when he's half asleep at 3am jungkook doesn't understand how someone could be so beautiful it doesn't seem fair. "kook everything ok?" jimin asks again when jungkook didn't reply "yeah everything is ok I'm just tierd and i was missing you" he says then adds "sorry i know you're tired as well I just didn't think this through" jimin is looking at him with a smile which is so soft and warm it melts jungkook from inside.
"i missed you too so much" jimin says "come here let's just sleep" jungkook listens to him instently and lays beside him. when his body hits the bed he grons it feels so good to finally lie down. jimin scoots closer to him and puts his head on jungkook chest and wraps his arms around him. jungkook does the same pulling jimin as close as humanly possible and plants a kiss on his head.
"long day?" jimin asks "the longest" jungkook replies "did something happen?" jimin asks again "nothing I'm just tierd"
"kook" jimin says looking up from where he's laying on jungkook's chest "you can tell me what happened I'll listen, you don't have to do it right now if you don't want to but I'm here you can tell me about it whenever you want" he says to jungkook with a little smile.
and jungkook loves him so much loves him for not questioning him till he gets answer to why jungkook is here at 3am when he should be at his own appartment, he loves him for just being there for him, loves him for understanding that sometimes jungkook doesn't know how to talk about how he's feeling doesn't know how to put all his anxious thoughts in words, he loves him for letting jungkook just be just letting him exist when he feels like this, all heavy and loud in his head. he thinks he'll never be able to love anything or anyone as much as he loves jimin because it keeps growing he didn't even know he was capable of loving someone this much.
"ok I will thank you" jungkook replies and jimin just lifts himself a little and kisses him softly "I'm here always, always by your side" jimin says against his lips and jungkook kisses him again it feels so good to hear these words, without any expectations without any hesitation and he knows that these words are true because he has heard them before and jimin has always been there by his side.
"i love you I missed you so much" jungkook says and kisses him again, jimin smiles against his lips kissing him back. he pulls away but he's still so close jungkook could feel his breath on his face "I love you too, and i missed you more" he says "not possible i missed you so much i almost forgot my lines ten times while I was filming today" jungkook replies "what?" jimin says he's giggling now and jungkook loves this sound so much he wishes he could store it in his mind and heart forever.
"I'm being very serious this is why it took me so long to wrap up today's schedule and why I'm so tierd now, it's all your fault you should take responsibility and cuddle with me now" jungkook says grinning at jimin.
"ok c'mon I'll take responsibility, let's sleep" jimin says still laughing. he gets back on jungkook's chest and snuggles close to him, jungkook wraps his arms around him tightly.
"goodnight kook sleep now you'll feel better when you wake up, tomorrow is going to be better" jimin says and press a kiss to his chest. "goodnight minie, i already feel better" he says and kisse his head "i love you" jungkook says "love you" jimin mumbles against his chest.
jungkook doesn't understand how a single person can make him feel better just by existing, just by smiling at him, just by being beside him but he's thankful he has that person who can turn his bad days into days which doesn't feel so shitty.
he closes his eyes and wishes he always has this a home to go to when it's loud and uncomfortable and suffocating everywhere else. and yeah tomorrow will be better.
