We Don't Talk Anymore •Jikook•

"Yeah, he's really smart, so even though his family wasn't that rich, he got a full scholarship. I think actually the job he currently has right now is just an internship, right?" Jimin asked, pretending like he didn't know much. Like he wasn't there when Jungkook applied for the spot. Like he hadn't been the first person Jungkook had told.

"Hyung!" Jimin jumped slightly when the first thing Jungkook did when the older had opened the door was scream.

"Woah, calm down there." Jimin chuckled. "What made you show up bouncing around this early?" Jungkook's expression turned into a pout.

"It's already 10 AM, it's not that early for me."

"Sure." Jimin said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Totally not the time I bang on your dorm room door to wake you up."

"Hyung!!" Jungkook whined, causing Jimin to giggle.

"Okay, okay. Seriously, what's up?" Jungkook grinned widely.

"I made the internship! Fought through a probability of 1 to 1,000. And made it!" Jimin gasped.

"Oh my god, Jungkook!" Jimin couldn't form other words for a good while, with only a wide smile on his face. "I-...I can't believe it! I'm so happy for you!" Jimin finally finished, pulling the taller male into a tight embrace. Jungkook felt a smile grow on his face as he wrapped his own arms around the older and nuzzled his face into the crook of Jimin's neck.

"Thank you, hyung." Jungkook whispered against his boyfriend's neck. Jimin pulled away with a confused look.

"What for?" Jimin questioned, completely clueless.

"Just." Jungkook grinned again. "For everything." Jimin raised an eyebrow but shrugged before grabbing the younger's wrist and pulling him inside. After closing the door, Jimin turned around to be immediately met face-to-face with Jungkook. The younger of two smirked and inched closer to his boyfriend, easily towering over the older's rather petite figure.

"D-did you need something?" Jimin stuttered out.

"Yeah. Don't I deserve anything for landing that job?" Jungkook said cheekily, the sass apparent in his tone. Taking a deep breath, Jimin tried to calm his frantic heartbeat. To no avail, of course. Nonetheless, the older seemed calmer on the outside.

"Like what? Aren't I enough already?" He asked, raising an eyebrow and keeping his tone confident, smirking back. A part of him wanted to see where this would lead, but another part just wanted to 'win' this childish game he was playing with his boyfriend.

Jungkook 'hmm'ed, as if thinking.

"You are." Jimin's tiny bit of competitiveness and pride melted away as his cheeks fired up again. "But then again, this is kind of a special occurrence." Jungkook moved even closer. Jimin was sure his heart was going to explode at this point.

"I...uh.."

Jungkook stepped back, restoring 2 feet of space between the two of them.

"Is it that hard to get a kiss from my own boyfriend?" Jungkook asked, raising an eyebrow. "I mean, I'm up for more-" Jimin smacked the younger on the arm.

"Shut up." He snapped with a huff, cheeks as red as a ripe strawberry. He hesitated a bit before pulling Jungkook down in for a kiss.

Jimin zoned back in as Taehyung was finishing talking about Jungkook's job. Jimin nodded with a polite smile, suppressing the urge to sigh at his own patheticness. Taehyung frowned all of a sudden, surprising the older.

"Now that I think about it, I'm the only one that's been talking." Jimin smiled genuinely, laughing.

"No, no it's fine. I like listening to you talk." Which wasn't a lie; Jimin found Taehyung's voice rather soothing.

"Yeah, but a friendship's supposed to go both ways." Taehyung said shrugging matter-of-factly. Jimin thought for a moment and nodded along.

"I guess." Taehyung grinned.

"So how'd you meet your boyfriend?" Jimin choked on his water, breaking out into a coughing fit. Taehyung raised an eyebrow. Jimin coughed again.

"Wait...wait..."

Jimin swallowed, looking at Taehyung with widened eyes. "What?"

Jungkook sighed, shoving his hands into the pockets of his slacks. He had been on a walk to clear his head, although it hadn't helped much. Leaning his head back, the young male abruptly stopped as a tuft of pink hair caught his attention.

Jungkook stopped in the middle of the street, staring through his own reflection to see him.

And his heart skipped a beat.
