(JIKOOK) Texting Story Snippets

World of ours

Jungkook shakes his head, as if he's been waiting for this all along. "Not us, Jimin."

"Aish," Rolling his eyes and sitting back into his seat again, eyes still maintaining their target, Jimin fakes annoyance with the other. "Not us. Not for us, we feel the same."

"You mean, everything is different for everyone else?"

"Exactly."

Jungkook shrugs with a lifted brow, stealing a glance at Jimin's unwavering stare. He half smirks, pushing the boundaries of a cocky expression. "And? Who cares?"

The smaller doesn't answer the trap of a question, the nonchalant shrug of Jungkook's shoulders both irritating and humorous, yet somehow promising. It's rhetorical for the most part anyway, but Jimin scoffs at the other and finally looks away. The road seems endless before them now that he watches it, no exit in sight. Large hills surround them on either side, standing like mountains and caging them in on the busy highway. It's silent between them for a while. Jimin hyper focuses on the tiny motions of Jungkook's thumb still rubbing the back of his own. He breaks down their small conversation in his head, the white static like noise his brain provides him canceling out the radio sounds so he can think. He wishes he could care less about opinions, judgement, criticism. Jimin wishes that the eyes of a stranger didn't always seem to hate him before proving to love him, to care, to accept him for every mistake instead of pushing him away for every half success. He sometimes wishes that he didn't care so much about people that will never care the same way about him, but everyone tells him that makes him a good person and he wants to believe that. Being good doesn't always mean feeling good, feeling loved, unless it has everything to do with Jungkook of course. The world will always judge him. Every change, every choice, every opinion that he voices it won't ever come out free from another opinion crippling his mood, unless he changes his own perspective.

Jungkook is my world. It's far more than a cliche statement meant to articulate how wide his love reaches. Jimin's heart thumps hard once, filling with familiar warmth as his gaze drifts back towards the brunet beside him. Jungkook is humming softly along to a song Jimin has been ignoring for his thoughts and he watches him for a moment, appreciating the tiny shy smile that's forming on the tallers lips. He can't help but to stare, to feel lucky and loved. To communicate their feelings is everything they've been striving to do, so what kind of partner would he be if he didn't fill their unnatural silence with an announcement made for moments like this? "Baby, you're my world." He all but shouts over the raised volume of the music surrounding them now and Jungkook's hand quickly reaches out to turn it down, taking his own with it and never breaking their hold. He looks in Jimin's direction with a curious twinkle in his eyes, flashing a tiny smile again before looking back in front of him.

"I'm your world?" The taller inquires, question hinting amusement, a playful tone.

Jimin laughs a bit breathily, looking away again and feeling unexpectedly shy. As if a confession of this kind at this stage in their relationship should at all make him feel this way, his cheeks feel warm and it has little to do with the temperature outside. He hums, confirming that Jungkook heard him correctly and he could leave it at that, but he would feel better to explain. His cheeks burn hotter as he thinks out loud. "You asked me who cares and all I could think about was the world, that's who. But, just because everyone else's world cares about our choices, even the ones that only affect us, it never has to matter. Because, you're my world and nobody else's." It's only the beginning of a rant he could continue, but his teeth dig into his bottom lip to suppress a giggle. This is the way he's been dying to feel all day, joyous and excited. Jungkook doesn't need an explanation to everything he just said and he knows that. He can hear confirmation of his words in the throaty chuckle the other sounds, the chaste kiss to the back of his hand.

"Mm, okay." Jungkook mutters after a collective couple of moments of thinking to himself. "If I'm your world, you're everything inside of mine."

Jimin raises a brow. "Oh?" He whispers, knowing before he says another word that he's initiating a challenge. "Okay. Well, you're my sun."

"You're my moon."

Jimin shakes his head. He didn't expect to play this game and somehow, it's perfect. But, that one was too easy. "You're my stars."

The taller sucks in his lips, whistling his breath between his teeth and cocking his head to the side a bit as if that was a tough one to counter. He chuckles lowly before answering back, "You're my galaxy and everything beyond. You'll never be anything less than everything to me." As if the universe is behind this single moment, Jungkook slows at the approaching stoplight just in time for a chance to marvel at the slightly pouting expression Jimin sports beside him. He must have ruined the game, but Jungkook couldn't care any less as he let's go of the smallers hand to reach out for his chin instead, pulling their faces together for a short kiss. It's fast and sweet and he whispers against Jimin's parted lips when he pulls away again, "Got it, Mochi?" A full pout dresses those lips the moment he leans back in his seat and Jungkook closes his eyes before the whine reaches his ears.

"You're just as mean as you are corny." Jimin huffs. He still lets Jungkook grab his hand again, but he refuses when the other tries to lace their fingers together, eyebrows furrowed with defiance.

"Brat." Jungkook mumbles, taking what Jimin will give him and resting their joined hands again on his thigh. Before the light even turns green, Jimin's fingers nudge against his own and he obliges, smiling as they intertwine. "I'm not trying to be corny, I just love you, Jimin."

The smaller sighs softly, biting back another grin. "I know, baby. You still ruined the game though."

A/N: I feel like an authors note doesn't have enough impact to convey how apologetic I feel. I honestly feel so happy just to write this and that makes me feel so many odd emotions. I missed this story and these two so much and of course, of course I missed you guys. I hate being inconsistent and I want to have an update schedule but I'm going to try this thing where I update at least once a week. It really depends on my mood lately more than my physical issues and my mood is always changing. My personal life is a bit of a huge mess right now, but this makes me feel so so so much happier than I've felt in so long and I'm literally crying because I'm happy that I managed to write a chapter :(( Ahh.. okay, I'll stop having a mental breakdown here, but first let me just tell you that I'm so sorry. You guys only give me comments with love and support all the time and I appreciate that so much, but you'll never stop me from feeling sorry when I don't update. I am sorry, and I love you so much words can't describe it I promise they can't. I'm rambling so much because I miss you.

I hope this chapter was a decent comeback of sorts. It really just flew out once I started writing it and I don't know why I'm just really happy that it happened like that. Thank you so much for reading and for everything my loves. Have the best day of your life, okay? ❤️
