Third Person's P.O.V :-

"Master Jimin, Master Jungkook has come to meet you, shall I call him in?" The butler politely informed Jimin while bowing down, showing him his utmost respect and obedience.

Jimin, who was doing his homework on his desk, paused and turned around to face the butler,"Jungkook?" He asked, just to make sure.

Even though, the previous day Jungkook had made it clear that he'd be visiting again, Jimin, for some reason had thought that he might not show up that day since the atmosphere of conflict still hadn't cleared up.

Moreover, after what had happened in the university that morning, Jimin was even more conflicted about the entire friends with benefits arrangement.

"Yes, Master" The butler confirmed his answer, still bowed down, waiting for Jimin's command.

"Sure, send him in" Jimin reluctantly whispered.

No matter how conflicted he was, he couldn't just make Jungkook go back, that would be considered as bad hospitality.

The butler nodded at Jimin's words and excused himself, exiting the room.

Jimin watched the door closing and stood up from his seat, heading over towards his dresser.

He looked at his reflection with critical eyes, examing the way his hair looked. All the things Lisa and Taehyung had said flashed by his mind.

Exhalling a breath, Jimin flipped his hair back, trying to style it in a way which made him look intimidating.

"What are you doing?"

Jimin jerked up at the sudden voice and turned around to see Jungkook already leaning on his doorframe while he had both his arms crossed over his chest.

"I um no-nothing in particular just trying out a new hair style" He tried to explain in a lighthearted tone but unfortunately his smile came across as forced and fake.

Jungkook raised one of his brows in question, seeing straight through that forced smile.

"What's up with you?" He asked curiously as he started to step inside the room and made a beeline towards Jimin's bed, aiming to sit down on it.

"Nothing, really.." Jimin whispered, awkwardly rubbing his nape as he looked around his room.

Jungkook noted the unusual behavior and tilted his head a little,"Are you sure?" He asked, knowing very well something was up and bothering Jimin.

"Yeah, absolutely" Jimin uttered and laughed a little, getting nervous by each passing second.

Jimin hated how he was running away from confrontation. He wanted either a genuine relationship or a genuine friendship. The friends with benefits arrangement was driving him insane.

But he knew very well Jungkook would never say yes to a relationship thus opening up about it to him meant potentially risking their friendship as well.

Jungkook observed Jimin nervously looking around the room and shifting on his spot. He was clearly lying.

Jungkook just sighed.

If Jimin wanted to keep whatever was troubling him a secret then he could keep it a secret, Jungkook couldn't care less.

"Alright, then come here" He said leaning back on his elbow waiting for Jimin to come and sit on the bed with him.

Jimin's mood started to get heavy as he was again reminded the arrangement was the reason why Jungkook visited him every night.

Jimin couldn't even remember the last time Jungkook had visited and they had a mutual conversation. It had only been just getting release and then going off on their own ways for the past few months.

That arrangement was already taking a toll on their friendship, Jimin could tell, that's why for just once he wanted to have a simple conversation instead of just acting like bunnies in heat.

He wanted to ask about the future of that arrangement too, if things went well. Maybe he'd finally be able to figure out his feelings after that conversation. Jimin had high hopes.

"Jungkook-ah, what do you think about my hair?" Jimin carefully asked, not moving from his spot, waiting for Jungkook's response before determining a good course of action.

Jungkook frowned at the meaningless question and gave Jimin's hair an uninterested glance.

"It looks cute on you, now come here, I have to go before father comes home as well, hurry up we are short on time tonight" Jungkook finally said, growing impatient as he started unbuttoning his shirt.

Jimin gritted his teeth. Jungkook didn't want to talk. He was just there for the arrangement. Nothing else.

It was as if he only saw Jimin as a means to get relief and nothing else.

Maybe the 'friends' part of the friends with benefits arrangement itself was not not working. What an dysfunctional arrangement it was. Jimin had no will to continue it. He was tired.

"No" He said firmly.

Jungkook's hands stopped whatever they were doing as he looked up at Jimin.

"What?" He asked again, as if to make sure he heard right.

"Not tonight, I have a lot of homework to do and I'm exhausted" The cotton candy head replied looking down at the floor in conflict,"But I can spare you a few minutes if you just want to talk and hangout" He added, hoping desperately that Jungkook would agree.

Jungkook just stared at Jimin blankly before sighing,"No I don't have time for that, fine if you're busy then I guess that leaves me with no reason to stay here any longer, see you, tomorrow" He uttered standing up and fixing his shirt.

Jimin let out a quivering breath. It was over.

"You don't need to come back tomorrow" He finally whispered, gaining Jungkook's attention.

"What do you mean?" Jungkook questioned and looked at him with knitted brows.

Jimin looked up at him with determined eyes,"Let's end this arrangement, I don't want to continue this anymore" He uttered firmly.

"Fine then" Jungkook whispered out a bit rudely before getting up and leaving the room.

Jimin watched the door slamming shut sadly and sighed. He walked up to the mirror again and took a portion of his hair, examining it with judging eyes.

"He doesn't even care about my feelings, what the hell was I thinking dyeing my hair coral pink just because he said he liked it once?" Jimin whispered looking at his hair, a little upset,"That was so foolish, Park Jimin" He sighed and walked away from his reflection. He disliked what he saw in the mirror.

"I need to visit the hairdresser tomorrow" He mumbled as picked up his pen, continuing his homework.

He hoped studying for a bit would take his mind off of the things that just took place in his bedroom a moment ago.
