The sun was low, golden-orange hues spilling across the road as Jungkook drove lazily through the countryside. The windows were slightly cracked, letting the spring breeze dance through the car, ruffling Jimin's soft hair as he gazed out, humming quietly to the tune playing from the radio.
It was a rare, quiet weekend getaway - just them and the open road. Jungkook was perfectly content, one hand on the wheel, the other occasionally drifting to rest over Jimin's fingers
"Hey, Kook?" Jimin said suddenly, eyes still on the road ahead.
"Yeah?"
"I really wanna play in the car."
Jungkook's heart stopped. A shiver of excitement rolled down his spine, and he gripped the steering wheel tighter.
"...Play?"
"Mm-hmm" Jimin said innocently, turning toward him with wide, serious eyes. "... I don't know. I've just been thinking about it the whole ride."
Jungkook nearly veered off the road.
"Wait, like... play play?" he asked, his voice a bit higher than usual.
Jimin blinked. "Yeah? I think it'd be fun. Don't you?"
The way he said it ,with such casual conviction, sent Jungkook's brain into overdrive. His sweet, soft, angel-of-a-boyfriend was suddenly suggesting something that felt very not safe for highway travel.
He coughed. "Baby... people are around."
Jimin leaned in, whispering like they were plotting something illegal. "That's what I was thinking. What if someone sees us?"
Jungkook's soul briefly left his body.
He cleared his throat again, stealing a glance at Jimin's soft lips. "I mean... are you sure? Here? In the car?"
Jimin nodded, completely oblivious. "I even brought it with me. It's in my hoodie pocket."
Jungkook's mind went blank. He brought it? Was he planning this all along?
A grin tugged at the corner of his mouth. His heart was pounding.
"God, I love you" he muttered, practically giddy as he squeezed Jimin's thighs. "You're really full of surprises today."
Jimin fished something out of his hoodie and held it up proudly. "Ta-da!"
Jungkook's heart dropped.
A tiny deck of UNO cards gleamed in the sunlight.
"...Uno?" he asked, staring.
Jimin nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! It's the travel version. Fits perfectly on the dashboard. I thought we could pull over and play a round or two!"
Jungkook blinked.
Then blinked again.
And then he exploded with laughter. Uncontrollable, loud, tears-streaming-down-his-face kind of laughter. He had to pull the car over, hands on the steering wheel as he leaned forward and wheezed.
Jimin, confused, pouted. "Wait. What's so funny?"
Jungkook turned toward him, eyes shining. "I thought you meant something completely different, angel."
Jimin tilted his head, processing and then suddenly his face turned red. "Oh my god, Jungkook!"
"I mean, you said it so seriously!" he laughed, wiping his eyes. "And then you were like, 'what if people see us?' Baby, you had me thinking I needed to check for tinted windows!"
"I was talking about playing cards!" Jimin squeaked, covering his face with his hands.
"I know now" Jungkook grinned, leaning across the console. "But honestly? I've never been more excited about a card game in my life."
Jimin peeked through his fingers. "You're not allowed to make fun of me."
"I would never" Jungkook said, placing a dramatic hand on his chest. "But I will destroy you at Uno."
"Oh, it's on."
They parked at a scenic overlook, where Jimin set the cards up on the dashboard while Jungkook opened a bag of chips and handed him a soda. Between rounds of laughter, ruthless draw-fours, and suspicious shuffling accusations, Jungkook looked at Jimin with a kind of affection that made his heart ache in the best way.
So maybe it wasn't the kind of play he'd initially imagined but playing Uno in the car with the love of his life while the sun dipped below the horizon - That felt better than anything he could've hoped for.
"I love you..." Jungkook suddenly declares making Jimin blush
"I...I love you too"
The end
