Enemies//Jikook √√

(•×•)

After the credits for the homemade movie start to roll, it's Jin and Namjoon who clap first.

"Ahhhh, you three did such a great job, seriously!"

Taehyung and Hoseok visibly beam  at the compliments while the edges of Yoongi's lips threaten to betray his usual 'resting bitch' face.

Jimin smiles and stretches his arms out, turning to look at Jungkook who still hasn't said anything yet. "Kookie, what did you think of the — are you crying? "

Everyone turns to look after hearing Jimin's sudden question as the youngest member whines in embarrassment and quickly moves to hide his face behind his hands.

"I'm not,"Jungkook mumbles, but his voice cracks slightly at the end, exposing his feeble lie.

Taehyung coos at his best friend's shy state and reaches over to ruffle his hair, only to be playfully smacked away by Jimin's quick hand.

"Don't tease him,"Jin scolds the blue haired male and receives a pout in response.

Jimin's gentle fingers find his lover's ear, doing quick work in seeking out and rubbing the spot that always seems to soothe him.

" Kook-ah,"Yoongi calls out in the soft tone he uses just for the younger. "Tell us why you're crying"

Jungkook sucks in a shaky breath and rubs his eyes like a small child would, his aura radiating such innocence and vulnerability that would make anyone soft.

"I-I...Seeing you all cry because of me... My own family never...except my mother...I'm so sorry, I love you guys." He wails softly, a new wave of tears washing over him.

Namjoon looks at Jimin for permission, which of course the silver haired male gives, before moving to pull the youngest into a comforting hug.

"Kook-ah, there's nothing to be sorry for. You did what you think was best, and that's a really good thing to do. We're your family, dongsaeng. We love you too."

Then everyone decides to surround the maknae in a big bear hug, shouting "WE LOVE YOU TOO, JUNGKOOKIE", which receives a small laugh from the raven haired male in return.

"Thanks for coming to visit," Jimin says as he sees his friends out.

"No problem, Jiminie." Hoseok grins as he ruffles the younger's hair fondly.
"We wanted to see how Jungkookie was doing, anyway."

"Tell Kookie we said 'bye'," Jin adds before he gets into his car, starting the engine in seconds.

"I will," Jimin promises as he watches the others leave one by one, waving after them enthusiastically. "Bye, come again soon!"

He waits until all of them are no longer in sight before he retreats into his home.

Jimin walks into the living room where Jungkook is after the youngest accidentally fell asleep.

He sits next to his boyfriend and just admires his sleeping features, the way his eyelashes delicately graze against his cheeks and the way his hair's just almost covering his eyes.

"I love you, Jeon Jungkook," He whispers softly as he caresses the raven haired male's cheek lovingly.

"I thought you were just going to sit there and stare at me forever." Jungkook teases suddenly, voice rough from sleep. He opens his eyes to stare right into the older male's surprised ones, a small grin on his face.

"Oh my gosh, you scared me!" Jimin laughs awkwardly, trying to recover from the embarrassment of being caught, but his flaming cheeks betray him. Jungkook watches him fondly, the grin never leaving his face.

"Come here," Jungkook says, pulling Jimin to sit on his lap before he wraps his arms firmly around the smaller's waist. "You're adorable, Jiminie. How can I not love you back?"

Jimin cups Jungkook's cheek with one hand while the other rests on the taller's shoulder. "Well," He huffs, blowing a strand of hair away from his face, but there's a teasing lilt in his voice and that mischievous glint in his eyes. "you could always say it back, you know?"

Jungkook leans forward to capture the silver haired male's lips in his. Their lips fit with each other's perfectly like they always had, a familiar sense of comfort making the raven haired male sigh in content into the kiss.

He pulls away after a while, panting softly but doe eyes shining brightly with adoration as he exchanges shy smiles with the love of his life.

"I love you too, Park Jimin."
