Jimin wondered again, if these little accidents would keep happening to them, not to say he was complaining though. It just felt like there was a shift in his relationship with the younger and it made him happy.

Sure he was scared at first that his friendship with Jungkook would be ruined after they accidentally kissed, but that wasn't the case anymore and he didn't even get rejected. It just that they never talked about it.

But Jimin noticed a slight change in Jungkook's behaviour, it was a positive one, but that's all he really felt. He thought the younger admired him more now, and he felt they were getting closer, not in a romantic way though.

To anyone else it would be obvious that Jungkook looked at Jimin from a different perspective now, a romantic perspective at that; he smiled around him more, teased him more and he was actually making Jimin laugh a lot more, everyone noticed this.

Everyone but Jimin.

Jungkook wondered too, about these little accidents, especially after the latest one. It was just a few days after his YouTube watch history was exposed. The poor maknae set up a fingerprint lock right after breakfast that day, knowing how it won't be the last time he watched Jikook videos, so he had to make sure no one could access his phone but him.

And it really wasn't the only time he watched Jikook videos; whenever he was alone with no one to peek at his phone, he watched video after video, slowly getting addicted to them. He took note of every reaction the older had to him, unconsciously studying his facial expressions, he felt like he knew Jimin a lot more now, and he also noticed how Jimin treated him differently from his other hyungs.

If I didn't know any better, I would say Jimin hyung is in love with me.

He thought, laughing at the ridiculous idea. of course not.

And how right was he just then.

They were filming a new run bts episode when the fourth accident happened.

Thank god it wasn't live this time.

It happened when it was Jimin's turn to describe the song title and the song part, and Jungkook had guessed the song part right away after guessing the song title, making the older so surprised and flustered he started laughing and couldn't stop, and when Jungkook was explaining how he got it right "I knew it as soon as I saw the tea cu-" he was interrupted by the sound of something falling.

Or rather someone falling.

Jimin had been laughing so hard even after he had sat down, and he couldn't stop laughing to the point that he ended up falling off his chair, taking his chair and another one down with him.

Jungkook ran to him laughing, extending his hand to help him up, not paying attention to his steps because of his slightly closed eyes.

Then he tripped.

And fell right on top of Jimin.

Jimin forgot about breathing for a few seconds, 'how do you even breathe? Was it something along the lines of hale?'

He wasn't sure.

Especially when he looked up and found Jungkook's wide doe eyes staring at him, in a trance, not moving an inch.

He couldn't break eye contact, but why wasn't Jungkook?

The moment felt longer than it probably was, so he counted in his head, 'one.. two.. three.. four.. five..'

Yah!" Shouted Jin. "Get off your asses you two." They both broke eye contact, their lungs working again.

What was that? Both thought.

"Sorry hyung, are you okay? Did I hurt you?" Jungkook quickly got up, reaching to hold Jimin's elbow and pulling him up easily.

"It's okay Kookie, I'm okay." Jimin chuckled awkwardly, dusting off his pants, and fixing his hair, trying not to focus on the feeling of Jungkook's hand on the middle of his back, steadying him because Jungkook knew how clumsy the older got after laughing and he didn't want him to fall again.

"Okay you two, if you're done flirting." Jin teased.

"What's up with you two?" Taehyung asked curiously. He had noticed the change in Jungkook and Jimin's relationship. He couldn't help but worry about his soulmate. He didn't want him to get his heart broken.

"What do you mean, Tae. Nothing is up, as far as I know we went back to normal." Jimin said honestly. He didn't really think there was anything new to say. He didn't lose the chemistry he had with the younger and that was all that mattered.

"Well, you must be blind then, cause you don't see the way he looks at you ever since-" Jimin interrupted him.

"Please, Tae. I don't wanna talk about that kiss anymore. It was an accident, nothing more. Sure I liked it but it wasn't like he was willing to kiss me or anything. It just happened. So I would say we're back to square one, nothing is new." Jimin reasoned, he didn't want to get his hopes up, and that could easily happen.

Being in love with someone secretly for years didn't mean that he shouldn't protect his own feelings at some point.

"Jimin-ah, I'm not trying to get your hopes up or anything. you know I wouldn't want your feelings to get hurt, but I think you should give it a shot, still without getting your hopes up." Now Jimin didn't understand exactly what Taehyung meant by that, and he was about to tell him to explain.

"I agree with Taehyung. I think you should shoot your shot." Jimin and Taehyung jumped at the sound of their team member, both getting scared of the fact that someone else knows now, maybe Jimin a little more than Taehyung.

"Yoongi hyung! What are you doing here? Were you listening all along? How much did you hear? Please don't tell anyone!" Jimin freaked out and Taehyung had to calm him down.

"Don't worry Jimin-ah. I won't say anything. If I wanted to I would've done that a long time ago." Yoongi hinted. He actually knew since the very beginning. If anyone paid enough attention they would notice too; how the older looked at the younger with a soft look in his eyes, different from how he looked at the rest of them, even Taehyung.

"What! You knew?? How? When? Taehyung did you tell him?!" Now Jimin was freaking out even more and was slightly yelling.

"No! I would never! Yoongi hyung can you please just tell us how you found out, Jimin here is about to kill me." Taehyung pleaded, taking a step away from Jimin, actually scared of the look the older was giving him. It wasn't his fault that someone else noticed, and he was slightly hurt Jimin would think he would just tell someone about his secret.

But it was probably partially his fault for not talking in his room or Jimin's, because instead they were having their talk in the kitchen.

They thought everyone was out though.

"Calm down, Jimin. Taehyung didn't tell on you or anything. Actually, I think I've known from the beginning. You're too obvious, kid." Yoongi teased the younger, and Jimin blushed.

"Sorry, Taetae. Please forgive me?" Jimin gave a small pout, pulling his best puppy face, and smiled when Taehyung smiled at him and nodded. Jimin then turned to Yoongi. "Please hyung, just don't tell anyone, especially Jungkook. He can't find out, please." Jimin pleaded, he would even beg if it came down to it.

"Stop that nonsense now. I said I won't say anything, your secret is safe with me. Now, are you willing to listen to us or are you staying in the brother zone for the rest of your life?" Taehyung was happy someone had the same opinion as him. he was also happy about the fact that now someone else knew too. That meant Jimin won't rely completely on his advice, because he feared his advices might not be right sometimes.

"What do you exactly have in mind?" Jimin mumbled, looking way, slightly getting shy. Taehyung clapped excitingly, and Yoongi gave a small smile. the pair plotting how to make the youngest fall for Jimin.
