Jimin wondered if his present dilemma caused this onslaught ofpoorly masked anxious thoughts. He almost felt guilty for not revealing thekeys of the apartment he had just purchased and furnished while Jungkook wasbusy with university activities. But he was proud of himself because it was arare occurrence, this gravelly, impatient and unsure voice of Jungkook’s. “Thankyou for being you Park Jimin, you don’t know how much you’ve helped me. I’vebeen praised for my singing because it sounds brighter. You wouldn’t understandhow much I need you, you’re literally my sunshine, and the only one I will everneed because of how warm just the thought of you keeps me. I write bettersongs, can express myself better and it’s because of everything I have seenwith you, felt with you and experienced with you. Thank you Park Jimin. As longas there’s you, I don’t need anything else to stay happy,” Jungkook continuedto ramble against his back.

Jimin shifted finally. His throat was tightening up so it was timeto break Jungkook out of his reverie. He looked up at a surprised Jungkook’sface, wide eyes, an open mouth with twitching fingers against Jimin’s back. Hegrinned up at his younger boyfriend. “I’m your sunshine? Then are you mysunflower Jungkookie?” he asked in a deliberate tone, wriggling his eyebrows athim which made Jungkook laugh in disbelief, his arm tightening around Jimin tobring him closer, their foreheads against each other as they stared into eachother’s smiling crescents. “I guess I am then, aren’t I?” Jungkook responded toJimin’s earlier question, pressing a soft kiss against his pillow-like lips,smiling when he felt Jimin’s lips stretch into one of their own.

“Go to sleep Guk, I have somethingto show you tomorrow,” Jimin told Jungkook, his thumb circling around the appleof Jungkook’s cheek. Jungkook’s eyebrows scrunched together briefly beforestraightening again, “okay hyung, goodnight.” Jimin repositioned himself torest his ear against Jungkook’s chest. After Jungkook’s voice rumbling throughhis chest, this was the next most effective way for him to go to sleep.Listening to his heartbeat. Jungkook didn’t know what it was his hyung wantedto show him but he was sure it had something to do with the dilemma he sharedwith him. He stayed awake for a while longer than Jimin, noticing theirsynchronised rising and falling chests with a satisfied look in his eyes.

Next morning, Jimin woke upearlier. As usual. So he slipped out of the grip Jungkook had on him. Orrather, it would be better to say he tried to. Because he couldn’t. It simplytightened on him further accompanied by a whimper that fell from Jungkook’slips, his eyebrows creasing as Jimin’s movements tugged him out of hissubconscious state. He clearly didn’t appreciate it but when he opened his eyesto look at a smiling Jimin, his lips formed a pout, murmuring something aboutit being unfair to be so cute so early in the morning but it was normal forJimin by now.

Looking back at it, he could havenever thought about it, waking up to a boyfriend with his arms around him.Having a boyfriend itself seemed like a foreign concept to him. He hadn’t beenlooking for romance but definitely he had fantasised about the wonders at onepoint. And now that he had a boyfriend, his next question was how. How did heland a treasure like Jungkook. But he knew questioning it might take Jungkookaway from him and he in no way wanted that.

Jimin pulled away from Jungkookand slipped off the bed, grumbling mentally about the cold temperature in hisroom since he was earlier in the comfort of his duvet. He thought about how hewas going to tell the news to Jungkook, the news of his new apartment, as he madehis way to the kitchen to make them some coffee. After lazily scuffing his feetabout in the kitchen, he was finally done making them their coffee, brewingthem differently. Black coffee for Jungkook and his with milk and sugar. As hepoured the coffee in their respective mugs, he registered the familiar weightof Jungkook’s arms around his waist as his head came to rest on his shoulder,his hair tickling his cheek.

“Good morning,” Jiminsaid with a smile, turning to peck his lips before continuing with his earlieractions. Jungkook hummed happily in response which was enough to satisfy Jimin.Jungkook took his cup from under Jimin’s arm when he was done pouring it. Hewent to the table in the kitchen, sitting down on one of the stools around it,his eyes following Jimin’s movements around the room before he sat oppositehim. Jimin had just put spaghetti to boil, coming to the table with ahalf-filled mug and the coffee pot itself for them to refill.

An hour and a half later, Jiminwas driving down roads Jungkook didn’t know very well. They were nearing thecity centre. Jungkook didn’t know anything since all Jimin had given himthroughout the 90 minutes and their drive, was a charming smile and a smug“you’ll know soon”. After another agonising quarter hour, Jiminparked the car in a parking space and led the way to a building. Jungkook shotquestions at Jimin again but he was shut up when Jimin asked him to have sometrust in him. And so when the lift stopped at the 18th floor, Jungkook steppedout behind Jimin with sealed lips.But when Jimin started fishing for something in his pocket, standing in frontof one of the 4 doors in the hallway, he started feeling uncomfortable. Jiminturned back to Jungkook and opened the door behind him, beckoning Jungkook withhis free hand. Jungkook finally asked him what was itching under his skin eversince they entered the apartment building. “Where are we hyung?” heturned around to ask Jimin who was closing the door behind him. “This is our new abode,” Jimin smiled, spreading his arms out togesture to the apartment. “You don’t have to choose between me and yourdream,” he explained, which widened Jungkook’s eyes. “I bought itbecause it would be easy for both of us to commute from here and come back toeach other,” he shrugged as a dumbfounded Jungkook walked forward withheavy steps before embracing Jimin.“Welcome home.”
