accident nine: nights out

Song for this chapter:

Fallingforyou by the 1975.

Vote and comment for a dedication.

Jungkook woke up the next morning just getting less than three hours of sleep, with only one thing on his mind.

I need to talk to Jin hyung.

If Jin had anything to do with Yugyeom being there yesterday, it still didn't explain Jimin's weird behaviour.

Was that part of Jin's plan too?

The day before flashed by in the raven's mind, remembering how it felt waking up with Jimin in his arms, only to wake up the day after alone and tired from lack of sleep.

Other than the morning, the day wasn't so special to him, sure he had met and talked to his crush of a few years, but it was nothing compared to the feeling he got when he spent time with Jimin, doing something as simple as sitting in silence. To him that didn't compare to anything else.

Still Jin's plan had worked, if his intentions were to help Jungkook realise that the feelings he had for Jimin; weren't as simple as admiration, then he must admit Jin was smart.

But he still felt like the day was wasted on something stupid. He wished he had spent it with Jimin instead.

It sounded silly but he missed Jimin, he didn't get to hang out with him much that day.

I still need to talk to Jin hyung.

He couldn't help but do something first.

It was 8:12 am when the younger snuck into the room, opening the door slowly afraid of making any noise that would wake up the older.

Closing the door behind him, he went to the other side of the bed, laying down beside Jimin, and just staying there for a while staring at him, and he couldn't help reaching out to caress his cheek.

If anyone walked into the room right now they would think he was a creep.

Which in fact he was.

Well, anyone would think that except Jimin and Jungkook themselves.

Because when the older opened his eyes and found Jungkook quite literally in his face, all he did was smile holding the covers up silently asking the younger to lay down under the covers with him, and Jungkook who was still in his pyjamas couldn't refuse his offer.

Jungkook went under the covers pulling Jimin to him by the waist, until they were in the same position as the day before, Jimin's head on the younger chest, and Jungkook with one hand in the blond's hair and the other under his head.

After Jimin's talk with Taehyung the day before, the blonde had calmed down a little, not as sad over the whole situation, he realised that yes he was overreacting, but this all had to do with the fact that he was in love with Jungkook.

He just loved him so much he couldn't help but get sensitive and insecure.

So he tried to think more logically, Jungkook wasn't his, if he was he would openly express his jealousy then.

And to be honest he could name a couple of celebrity crushes he had that would distract him from Jungkook for a few hours.

Only a few though.

Both boys just laid there, in each other's arms, not saying anything, until the younger broke the silence.

"I didn't see you much yesterday." He said it as fact, not waiting for a reply he started to rant, blame it on his lack of sleep. "I missed you Jimin-ssi." He bent his head down a little nuzzling his face in the smaller's neck, his hand falling from his hair going to his waist instead, feeling him shiver, even though they were both warm. "How is it possible it's only been a day and I miss you, I missed you even when you were in the same room as me for the whole day." He couldn't hold back now, it was like a dam broke. "It only feels right when we're like this." His words were slurred now, if Jimin had to guess it would either be the younger didn't get any sleep, or he was drunk, and judging by how good he smelled it wasn't the latter.

So Jimin just nodded, reaching his hand out to play with Jungkook's hair instead of responding, knowing he's on the verge of sleeping anyway, so he too closed his eyes and drifted off with the younger.

It was 9:00 am when they were woken up by Jimin's alarm.

Jimin whined and groaned pulling the covers up to his head to somehow block the noise, so Jungkook reached over making sure not to crush the smaller, and turned the alarm off.

"Jimin-ssi, wake up." He tried to shake his shoulder, pulling the covers off, repeatedly telling him to wake up, and all the smaller did was burry his head even further in Jungkook's chest, as if that was even possible, still refusing to wake up.

Trying to be as sneaky as possible, Jungkook got into a kneeling position with one of his hands still under Jimin's head he put the other underneath his waist, lifting him up and getting out of bed. "Let's take you to the bathroom okay?" He said, effortlessly carrying Jimin to the bathroom.

With each step Jungkook took to the bathroom, Jimin started to wake up, looking up he realised their current position. "What are you doing?"

"Well, you wouldn't wake up, so I took it upon myself to get you to the bathroom. You're lucky you woke up now. I was just thinking about putting you in a warm bath." He wiggled his eyebrows which earned him a slap on the shoulder, and a blushing face.

"I'm wide awake now you can drop me." He said while clinging to Jungkook even more, contradicting his own words.

So Jungkook just laughed and said nothing. Putting Jimin down when they reached the bathroom and handing him his toothbrush.

"Is this your way of saying my breath stinks?" Jimin challenged raising his eyebrows.

"Hyung, I don't really mind your morning breath." He got really close to his face. "Want me to prove it to you?"

Jimin, thinking the younger was just fooling around was a flustered mess, red in the face. He couldn't do anything but hit his shoulder again and curse him out, putting toothpaste on his toothbrush and trying not to drop it from how bad his hands were shaking.

Jungkook was serious, since it became clear to him that he liked Jimin for real he decided he wasn't gonna stop until he made Jimin his, but he wasn't even sure if Jimin liked him in that way.

I need a plan.

"I need a new plan."

Jimin wasn't so sure now about Yoongi and Taehyung's plan, he didn't feel like it was working.

If working meant; making his friendship with Jungkook a lot stronger. Then it was, but the main goal was to get Jungkook to look at Jimin differently, and that certainly wasn't happening. This called for an emergency meeting after work.

"Guys what should I do now?" They were having their talk in some deserted café, only a few people in there minding their own business, after Taehyung pointed out how any member can just walk into the room if they had their talk at the dorm.

"What do you mean? Isn't the plan working? It certainly feels like it is." Yoongi said before he sipped on his iced Americano.

"Am I the only one here who doesn't believe anything has changed between me and Jungkook?!" He whined, resting his head on the table quite harshly, Taehyung wondered if he hurt his head.

"Yeah, I think so." Taehyung shrugged, and Yoongi hummed in agreement too lazy to actually open his mouth.

A loud groan of frustration was the only thing Jimin replied with.

"Okay, you want to up your game?" Yoongi set his beloved drink aside, this meant business. Jimin sat up so fast and nodded his head repeatedly the older got scared of him for a second.

Taehyung reached over and held Jimin's chin. "That's enough you're gonna hurt yourself." He laughed.

"Yes. Yes, please." Jimin gave Yoongi his puppy face.

"Well, don't come crying to me if it backfires."

After the trio left the dorm, which made Jungkook a little confused when they didn't invite him, he decided it would be a good chance for him to talk to Jin.

"Jin hyung!" Jungkook shouted, getting his revenge when he opened the door and found Jin wide eyed with his hand over his heart.

"Don't scare me like that you little punk!" The older shouted in return.

"But your ears didn't even ring like mine did!" Jungkook argued, forgetting about the fact that they needed to talk about something quite serious.

"Why are you even here?" Jin shouted, Jungkook just now realising what he actually came here for.

"Yeah, I need to talk to you." He went over to sit next to Jin on the bed. "Hyung did you- were you the one who invited Yugyeom?" Jungkook hesitated, not sure about his conclusions just yet.

"Of course it was me, I told you I'm gonna figure it out for you didn't I? Now I need you to answer my questions honestly." He said excitedly. Jungkook nodded waiting for his hyung to continue. "Was the feeling you had with Yugyeom similar to the one you have with Jimin?" When Jungkook shook his head Jin told him to explain.

"Uhh- Well, I like Yugyeom but I don't really know him; sure he's cool but I think at the time I just felt pure excitement nothing else, but- but.." he trailed off too deep in thought when he started to think about what he felt for Jimin. Was it love? That can't be possible. He just figured out his non platonic feelings for the older yesterday. That's too many epiphanies in a short amount of time. He shook this thoughts away. He needs to take it slow.

"Jungkook, you don't have to face your feelings if you're not ready. There's no pressure." Jin spoke gently, holding Jungkook's shoulder to let him know he was there for him, and always will be.

"No hyung. It's just- I don't know. I feel so confused when it should be simple right? I love Jimin hyung. Have been for a long time cause he's my hyung of course I'll love him like I love you, but I- I don't- ugh!" He rubbed his head feeling like pulling his hair out just to get to his thoughts and sort them out.

"Jungkook, love is an overwhelming feeling. It also has no rule book. I can't tell you it's simple, and I also can't tell you it's complicated, it's all about how much you're connected to your feelings. Why don't you start by asking yourself why you act a certain way around Jimin? Maybe that will help you understand yourself better." He suggested.

"I think that's a good idea. I actually did something a while ago, but don't judge okay?" When Jin gave him a look he continued. "Remember when Hoseok hyung opened my YouTube history?" He waited for him to nod and then quietly said "Well, that wasn't the only time that I watched those, and I noticed how I treated Jimin a lot differently than I treated all of you. Can you believe they even made a video called Jimin is Jungkook's bias or something? That's how much I act like a love sick puppy around him. Hell, even this morning I snuck into his room just to hold him. I do all these weird things, and I'm stil wondering if I like him or not?" The poor maknae was ranting not even looking at Jin now, he just wanted to let it all out. "Even when we were cuddling I kept talking about how I've missed him yesterday when we didn't get to hangout. Am I turning into a clingy girlfriend?!" His eyes widened with the realisation. "You just asked if what I felt with Yugyeom was similar to what I felt with Jimin hyung right?" Jin nodded too afraid to say anything and cut Jungkook's train of thought. "Not even close. I know I couldn't describe what I feel for Jimin hyung, but I did that easily with Yugyeom. That has to count for something, right?"

When Jungkook finally looked at Jin, the older gave him a proud smile not saying anything but a quiet. "Yes you idiot. Come here." Pulling Jungkook in his arms to give him a bear hug. "I'm so proud of you." He let out a laugh, not believing how Jungkook grew up so fast.

"Hyung what else were you going to ask me?" Jungkook curiously mumbled into Jin's shoulder.

"Oh yeah! It's weird but I have to ask you this, you don't actually have to answer just you imagining it is fine." He pulled away from Jungkook, the bunny sitting up straight and getting ready for the question. "Would you like it more if you kissed Yugyeom or Jimin?" Jin really didn't need an answer to that when he looked at Jungkook's face, the little blush he now had gave it all away. When Jungkook smiled and looked like he was in another place entirely Jin slapped his head. "Yah! don't imagine it right in front of me, that's gross. If you like him that much why don't you just go out with him already?"

"You're saying it like he actually likes me like that. Me and Jimin hyung are just close friends. Nothing more." Jungkook mumbled a little sad over that fact.

"Who said he doesn't like you?"

"And who said he does?"

"Then why don't you ask him then?"

"Sure hyung next time I'm gonna see him I'll go like hi Jimin hyung do you like anyone at the moment? and if it's me how about we go on a date tomorrow are you free?" Jungkook mocked in squeaky voice.

"I didn't mean it like that you idiot! Never mind. I'll do it all myself!"

"How are you gonna do that?" Jungkook tuned serious, now curious about Jimin liking anyone else.

Jin reached for his phone. "Simply ask Jimin." He shrugged dialling Jimin's number and waiting for him to answer. Jungkook's eyes widened trying to pull the phone from Jin and failing. "Jimin! Hey!" A pause "yeah, everything is fine I just have to ask you something really quickly. I have a friend who's single should I set you two up or do you already have your eyes on someone?" A long pause. "Oh you already like someone? That's okay I'll just set my friend up with someone else, but you never told me you had a crush on someone huh. What does they look like?" Another pause. "You little rascal! Well, I gotta go now, have to find someone for my friend. Yeah. Yeah. Bye!" He hung up, and looked at Jungkook. "And done!"

"He likes someone?!"

"Yeah he said someone with black hair and pale face, something like that. I don't know though." He shrugged.

Meanwhile..

"Do you realise you described me just now?" Yoongi asked, unimpressed.

"I did?!" He shouted, covering his mouth in shock.

"Yeah, you panicked and looked at Yoongi hyung and then described him." Taehyung explained. "It shouldn't mean anything though right? A lot of people have pale skin and black hair, no big deal." He tried to make light of the situation to prevent Jimin from freaking out. "And that was Jin hyung. It's not like it was Jungkook." He shrugged.

"He said he was setting me up with his friend, I had to tell him I liked someone! What if he thinks I like you now, and then tell Jungkook about it?!" Taehyung facepalmed for the hundredth time in his life because of Jimin.

"Let's just go home." Yoongi yawned, out of the little energy he previously had.

Jungkook was chilling on the sofa, or trying to. Waiting for Jimin to come home so he could start to try and figure out who Jimin liked. Like it's actually gonna be written on the older's face when he comes through the door.

Meanwhile Jimin, Taehyung, and Yoongi arrived, but just before they went inside Jimin looked at Yoongi. "When are we starting with the plan?"

"As soon as Jungkook is in the same room with us I guess." Yoongi shrugged, opening the door and going inside, Jimin close behind him, and when he saw Jungkook from the corner of his eye he put his arms around Yoongi, one arm around his shoulders and the other clinging to his shirt.

Yoongi was rethinking this plan. He just wanted to sleep.

Jungkook's gaze burned a hole through Jimin's arms around Yoongi.

Someone with black hair and a pale face..
