#xiutingmyself

In attempt to go to sleep, he shuts his eyes and hopes for the best. It is when he feels the warmth of your body snuggle closer to him that he open his eyes again.

He opens his eyes to see you (in your sleep) place your head on his bare chest and wrap your arms around him. He holds his breath, not necessarily knowing what to do. He feels you shiver slightly when he notices the blanket isn’t fully on you. He grabs the blanket and covers both of your bodies as his arms instinctively wrap around you, keeping you warm. It’s not as uncomfortable as he initially thought it would be. His eyes slowly gave out and he went into deep slumber.

It wasn’t until he heard your alarm ring that he was awake again. Still half asleep, he feels a warm body try to slip from his embrace. He groans as he pulls back the warmth and snuggles it more. It wasn’t until you grumble his name does he finally realize he is in your bed. He completely forgot he slept over. He immediately shoots his eyes open, and lets go of your body only to notice that he was spooning you, your back pressed against his chest.

You reach over and shut off your alarm before turning around and facing Jungkook. You smile at his swollen face as you reach over and place a hand on each side of his face. You squeeze his face together as he laughs at your actions.

“You look so cute when you wake up,” you say, squeezing his face more.

Jungkook blushes but reaches over and does the same thing to you. “So do you.”

You let go with a laugh. “Let’s go have breakfast.”

~

You both arrive at work ready to take on the day. You’ve been practicing your speech in the car while Jungkook drove, making a stop at his place for a new change of clothes.

You both enter the conference room where your team is patiently waiting to present. As soon as you enter the room, you both receive frightened and timid looks. You try not to let the situation get to you as you rehearse your speech again to Jungkook. It wasn’t until a sudden cough interrupts you, both of you turning your attention to the person. Jin coughs awkwardly before speaking. "I, uh, wanted to apologize for being rude, to both of you yesterday and the days before that. None of you deserved that and I’m sorry I put you both in that position. You two really do make a good couple. I was being an uncooperative co-worker and giving you both a hard time for no reason. I’m really sorry."

The rest of the staff agree, stating their apologies and compliments all at once. Everyone except Mina of course.

“It’s fine. Just pay me back by doing well on today’s presentation,” you smile.

Everyone nods and mumble “yes ma’am”.

Jungkook stares at you with a warm smile on his face. You always manage to forgive people. He can see how nice and caring you are that it makes it harder for him not to stare. You turn to look at him and smile as well, placing your hand on his cheek. “This means you too Jungkook,” you say, attaining his attention from his temporary daze.

“Yeah absolutely,” he says quietly.

~

The presentation went well, the company seemed to like the new additions and everyone was praised. The staff received a couple of days to rest after all the work they’ve done.

Now Jungkook is meeting up with his friend Namjoon now that he’s back from a business trip in the United States. He walks into the coffee shop and smiles once he sees Namjoon. He’s kind of like an older brother to Jungkook.

“Hey,” says Namjoon as he hugs Jungkook.

“Hey, what’s up?” says Jungkook once he sits down, coffee already in front of him, curtesy of Namjoon.

“Nothing much. Just got back from the states so a bit jet lagged. I still need to catch up on work. But how are you? How’s work?” Namjoon also happens to work at the same company but he travels a lot because he’s in the global outreach department. And it helps that he speaks many languages.

“I’ve had a crazy time,” says Jungkook, as he takes a sip of his coffee.

“How so?”

“I really wish you would have been here sooner so I could have told you about everything and seek some advice. Or rather just have someone to hear me ramble because so much is going through my head right now” says a stressed Jungkook.

“Well I’m here now. I’m all ears.”

“Okay well there’s this girl-“

“Is it Mina? Did you finally fall under her spell? Are you being held hostage by her? Cough twice if you need help-“

“No its not Mina. It’s Jimin’s friend with benefits who is technically my friend as well now.”

“Oh no Jungkook. What have you gotten yourself into?”

“Hear me out. I’m in too deep.”

“What do you mean?”

“Listen. It’s complicated. I should have told you sooner-“

“You’re dating her?”

“No. I’m pretending to date her-“

“So are you having pretend sex too?”

“Oh my god Namjoon listen.”

“Okay, okay. I’m sorry. Continue.”

“So you know how Mina is a psycho and she’s literally everywhere I go? Including at work.”

“Yeah.”

“Well Y/N, that’s her name, happens to also work there now and is helping me get Mina off my back.”

“By pretending to date you,” chimes in Namjoon.

“Exactly.”

“Who already happens to be Jimin’s friend with benefits.”

“Yeah.”

“And Jimin is okay with that?”

“Yeah, sort of.”

“Okay. This still doesn’t explain why you’re freaking out.”

“Well I’ve realized some things a couple of days ago when I stayed over at her place.”

“Why were you at her place?”

“Some things happened so I had to drive her back to her apartment and I didn’t have a way back to mine so she offered for me to stay at her place.”

“Okay, so?”

“In her bed.”

“Okay.”

“With her also in it.”

“I don’t see the problem here.” Namjoon suddenly gasps, “did you and Jimin have a threesome with that girl?”

“What? No! He was too busy banging another girl. And let me finish.”

“Okay sorry. Continue. So you said you were just friends.”

“That is the problem Namjoon. I don’t want to be just friends with her.”

“Oh, I get it now. Kookie has a crush. On his best friend’s sex partner.”

“Don’t say it like that. But yes, I’ve never actually said it or admitted it out loud before.”

“Well I feel honored.”

“Okay so what should I do?”

“Tell her you like her.”

“I can’t. She says she doesn’t like to date.”

“And yet she’s pretending to date you?”

“Yeah. She says its fun pretending but the real thing never works out. And she said she’s doing me this favor as a friend.”

“Wait, so what do you both do to give the impression that you’re dating?”

“We’re affectionate sometimes, like we hold hands and kiss-“

“Wait? You also kiss? You’re going full force?”

“We have to with Mina around. She won’t take the hint.”

“Okay. Okay. So why were you at her place again?”

“Because she punched one of our coworkers in the face and injured her hand so I had to drive her home when she usually drives me home.”

“Wow. Okay that is a lot to take in. And you really like her?”

“A lot.”

“She doesn’t seem like your type.”

“And what would my type be?”

“I don’t know,” Namjoon takes a sip from his drink before continuing. “I’ve always imagined you with a girl more like you. Subtle, calm, not so adventurous.”

“So you’re basically saying I’m boring.”

“Not exactly but you do seem to follow the rules a lot of the time.”

“And that’s what I like about her. She’s so courageous and fun. And easy to talk to. And you know how much trouble I have talking to girls.”

“That’s true. Wow, Kookie. I’ve never seen you so smitten.”

Jungkook chuckles. “Yeah I know.”

“Do you have a picture of her?”

“Yeah I do.” Jungkook pulls out his phone and shows him the picture of when you, him, and Jimin went to celebrate at that kbbq joint.

“Wow, she’s hot. How did Jimin manage to sleep with that?”

“That’s another problem. Jimin still sleeps with her. And she claims he’s one of the best she’s ever had.”

“It’s hard to compete with your best friend.”

“I know. My life is a mess.”

“Well maybe you should just try being her friend first. And things will soon fall into place. It’s hard to predetermine things like this.”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

“She seems pretty cool. I would love to meet her.”

“Yeah well you’ll see her at work. I’ll introduce you.”

“Cool,” Namjoon takes another sip of his drink before humming. “Oh by the way, who did she punch from work?”

“Jin, Mina’s friend.”

“Oh that guy. Yeah he’s a dick. He probably deserved it.”

“He did,” Jungkook chuckled.

Jungkook and Namjoon continue to chat longer, catching up with one another.

~

You finally have a break from work and decided to spend the day at Jimin’s place. You’re both on the couch cuddling under a blanket scrolling through Netflix when he place his fingers on your chin and turns your head slowly towards him as he begins to kiss your lips. You smile into the soft yet passionate kiss but soon separate once you hear his front door open. You both look toward the noise when you see a happy Jungkook emerge.

“Hey guys, I brought fried chicken,” he says as he holds up the bag full of food.

“Yay,” you say joyfully as you get up to hug Jungkook. “You can sit there,” you say as you point at the couch. “I’ll be back.”

Jimin stares at Jungkook with furrowed brows as he makes his way to the couch where you previously were. “Umm Jungkook. What are you doing here? This is a Netflix and chill session between Y/N and I.”

“Oh, I thought-“

“I invited him,” you interrupt Jungkook as you come back into the living room with 3 plates and drinks.  

“What? Why?” whines Jimin.

“Because we’ve been talking about wanting to watch this documentary for a while and now we finally have time to watch it,” you say as if it’s obvious. You place the plates and drinks on the coffee table in front of you as you sit between both Jimin and Jungkook.

“I thought we could have some alone time.  Cmon, you’re giving me blue balls here. And plus you’re always with Jungkook.”

“Jimin you can’t just kick out Jungkook. And plus you owe him from the other night.”

Jimin groans. “Fine. But only because he brought chicken.”

You turn and smile at Jungkook as you hand him a plate for his chicken. All three of you dig in to the chicken as you watch the martial arts documentary.

There was this one scene where a student breaks his hand breaking cement blocks as part of his training.

“Wow, that’s talent,” you say in amazement.

“How’s your hand by the way?” Jungkook says looking at you expectantly.

“It’s better,” you say as you extend your bandaged hand examining it. “The doctor said it should be fine for the dinner next weekend.”

“What dinner?” asks Jimin.

“Our company is having a formal dinner to launch the new app. Which by the way Jungkook, I think we should color coordinate our outfits. It’ll be really cute.”

“Why aren’t you taking me as your date?”

asks a pouty Jimin.

“Because Jungkook is my work boyfriend and he has to go anyway. It’s mandatory.”

“That’s not fair, you’re always with Jungkook.”

“I can’t just bring another date when my boyfriend is right there. Plus it’s a company thing, you’ll think it’s boring anyway.”

“You never take me out,” Jimin crosses his arms like a little kid who got grounded. “I want free drinks and a fancy dinner too.”

“How about this? Jungkook can bring you as his plus one and I’ll bring one of my really hot friends to be your date. That way you have some entertainment and Jungkook and I can network at the event.”

“Yay! I’m down with that,” says an excited Jimin.

You turn to Jungkook. “It’ll be good to bring more people anyway. It’s an 8 person table. It’ll be me, you, Jimin, his date, Taehyung, and your friend Namjoon.”

“There will be two extra seats left,” says Jungkook.

“We’ll just rsvp and fill in our seating card with the people we want at our table and the company can fill the two other seats with whoever they want,” you say.

“Sounds good,” says Jungkook.

“I’ll be wearing a black dress so make sure to wear something that goes with that.”

“I’ll try,” says a nervous Jungkook.

“How about tomorrow I go through your closet and I’ll pick something out for you?”

“That’ll be better,” says a relieved Jungkook.

“Tell your friend to wear something sexy,” says Jimin.

“I’ll just show her a picture of you and she’ll dress how she feels like it.”

“She’s definitely going to dress sexy then,” says Jimin confidently.

You roll your eyes and turn your attention back to the documentary.

~

It’s the day of the dinner and you’re all glammed up with a simple, yet tight black dress with your hair down in elegant waves. It’s a fitting yet formal dress that hugs you in all the right places. It’s a long, off the shoulders dress with a slit on the side to add a sexy touch. You are did up but not excessively where it looks you tried too hard. You’re in the car with your friend Seolhyun as you make your way to Jimin’s place to pick him and Jungkook up.

“Thanks for inviting me Y/N. I’m really excited,” says Seolhyun.

“I should be the one thanking you for doing me the favor of coming. I know it will get a bit boring and you’ll be keeping Jimin company.”

“No it’s my pleasure,” says Seolhyun with a flawless smile. “He’s really cute. I can’t wait to meet him.”

“Yeah he is,” you smile as you drive.

“Is he single?” she asks curiously.

“Yes he is,” you turn and wink at her.

“Do you think he’ll like me?”

“Of course he will. You’re charming and kind. Plus you’re gorgeous. He’ll be stupid not to like you.”

“Thanks,” she blushes.

“We’re here,” you say as you pull into the curb.

You both step out of the car and walk to the front door. You ring the door bell and wait for the door to open. Jimin opens the door to have his jaw drop at the sight of you.

“You look amazing,” he says in awe. He steps aside as he lets you and Seolhyun enter his place.

“Thanks,” you say as you lean in to hug him. “Don’t tell her about our relationship, we’re just friends, got it?,” you whisper in his ear. Once you lean away from the hug, you examine his face for confirmation. He winks at you confirming he won’t tell Seolhyun you’re friends with benefits. You smile back and nod.

“Wow Y/N. You look beautiful,” says Jungkook from behind you.

You turn around and smile. “Thanks Kookie,” you lean in to hug him before stepping back and checking him out. “You look handsome yourself.”

“You did pick out the outfit,” he chuckles. He’s wearing a simple black suit with a white button up and a bow tie.

“Yeah but you make it look better,” you wink at him. You turn around and face Jimin. “Jimin, this is my gorgeous friend Seolhyun. Treat her well or I’ll fight you.”

“Of course,” he smirks at you before turning his attention to Seolhyun. “Hi, I’m Jimin. I’ll be your date for tonight.”

She smiles, “I guess so.”

“And this is my cute boyfriend Jungkook,” you say as you face him.

“Hi, it’s nice to meet you,” says Jungkook politely.

“Likewise,” says Seolhyun with a smile. She then turns to you with a smirk. “Wow I never thought I’d see the day when my dear Y/N would actually be dating someone.”

“What do you mean?” asks Jimin.

“She was never the dating type, even in college. She liked being free and independent.”

“What can I say? My Kookie made me a changed woman,” you chuckle. “Now let’s head out before it gets late,” you say as you grab Jungkook’s hand and lead him toward the door as the rest follow. The car ride was filled with hilarious conversation and flirty comments between Jimin and Seolhyun.

“How are you feeling?” you ask Jungkook while you still face the road.

“I’m excited and nervous,” admits Jungkook.

“Why are you nervous?” you ask.

“Events like these make me nervous. Don’t get me wrong, they’re fun at times with the open bar but just talking to new people is stressful.”

“Well that’s why you have me. I’ll be right beside you and will do most of the talking if you want.”

“You’re the best, you know that?” says Jungkook.

“I do,” you say as you turn to wink at him before turning back to the road.

“Y/N,” calls Jimin. “You didn’t tell me you were a dancer.”

“I’m not,” you say.

“Yes you are you liar,” says Seolhyun. “She was the best dancer at our school. She would get the best solos and even won scholarships for dancing.”

“But I’m not a trained dancer. I just liked dancing. I was prelaw so I couldn’t pursue it anyway.”

“She didn’t even need training because she was just naturally talented,” Seolhyun hypes you up.

“Why are you guys talking about me? Did you know that Seolhyun was the youngest person at our school to assist on an open heart surgery. She’s badass.”

“Really?” asks Jimin. They continue talking in the back as you arrive to the hotel.

You hand your keys to the valet and head over to the hotel ballroom which was exclusively closed off by security due to the prestige of the company.

“Put your hand around my waist,” you tell Jungkook. He does as he’s told without question. “I want us to look like Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”

Jungkook chuckles still holding on to your waist.

Jimin stares intently at the way Jungkook was holding you. So this is how you both look together around people from work.

You hand the security guard the invitations as you all pass through into the gala.

You walk over to your table where you see Taehyung and Namjoon already chatting. Once they see you all approaching, they get up and gawk.

“Wow, you two look like spies,” says Taehyung.

You turn to Jungkook excitedly, “I told you!”

Jungkook laughs at your eagerness.

“Hi, I’m Namjoon. It’s nice to finally meet you,” says the tall man as he extends is hand to you.

You take it politely and shake it, “I’m Y/N. I’m assuming Jungkook has spoken about me since you said it’s nice to finally meet me.”

“Oh yeah he did,” chuckles Namjoon as he lets go of your hand.

“Good things I hope,” you say looking at Jungkook expectingly.

“Great things,” Namjoon says with a smirk.

“Hey Namjoon, long time no see,” says Jimin as he reaches over and hugs the man.

“Hey Jimin, how have you been?” asks Namjoon.

“Good, same old same old.”

Namjoon nods in understanding.

“This is my friend Seolhyun,” you say. “She’s also Jimin’s date.”

“Nice to meet you all,” says Seolhyun with a gentle smile.

“Shall we sit?” says Taehyung.

You all murmur in agreement as Jungkook pushes your chair in for you like a gentleman. “Thank you baby,” you say impressed by his manners.

Jungkook takes the seat to your left and smiles at you. “My pleasure.”

You both lean in for a peck on the lips all so naturally.

Jimin stares at you both in awe having never seen this side of either of you. You were never the affectionate type in public, let alone Jungkook with his shyness. He has this unsettling feeling every time he sees you both acting intimate.

“Not in the dinner table children,” says Namjoon from the end of the table.

You all sit in the round table with the dining wear already placed in front of you. The seating order is Namjoon at one end, then Taehyung to his right, then Jungkook, you, Jimin, and lastly Seolhyun. You were all having a general conversation about work and revealing how you all know each other when you hear the chairs in front of you move. You all look up to see Jin and Mina sitting down. You all look at them in silence.

“Jin lets go sit somewhere else,” says Mina.

“They seated us here. Plus we came late so there are no more seats left,” says Jin.

“Hey,” you say with a small smile, making an attempt to be nice.

“Hi Y/N,” says Jin politely, Mina completely ignoring you.

“Who are they?” Seolhyun whispers to Jimin.

“They’re some coworkers that have beef with Y/N and Jungkook,” says Jimin.

Jungkook leans into your ear. “Lets just ignore them and have a good night, yeah?”

He entangles your hands together and you smile. “Sure.”

Jimin is looking at you both in surprise at how natural it is for you both to act intimate. He’s never received this kind of attention from you before but you act this way with Jungkook so easily. He’s not sure how he feels about it yet but he can tell it’s not great.

“So how did you two meet?” asks Taehyung, also noticing how intimate you were being.

“We actually met through Jimin,” you say. “I was hang out with Jimin one day at his place and Jungkook just came in and we met.”

Jungkook blushes knowing exactly what you’re talking about. You’re talking about the numerous times he’s walked in on you and Jimin having sex. The first time was when you were introduced. You were wearing one of Jimin’s shirts and had a bright smile on your face as if nothing happened. He knew you were different then and he definitely knows now.

“Wow, Jimin!” starts Namjoon. “You’re such a great wingman, introducing Jungkook to such a beautiful girl. You have any friends you can introduce me to?”

People around the table laugh. “Well I didn’t think they’d end up dating when I introduced them,” says Jimin. “If I knew this would have happened, I would have snatched Y/N a long time ago.”

Everyone chuckles at his comment although Jimin isn’t sure if he was kidding or not.

You turn to Jimin and playfully stick your tongue out at him as he gives you a cocky wink.

You turn back to the table. “Anyway, Namjoon. I heard you, Jungkook and Jimin went to college together. What was it like?”

Before Namjoon could say anything, Mina spoke up. “We had a great time. Those were the good days when it was just us.” She then glares at you and gives you a condescending smile.

“Oh that’s right, you also went to college with them,” you force a smile.

“Yeah, me and Jungkook were really close. We had almost every class together. People thought we were dating.”

Namjoon chuckles, “You’re the only one who thought that. And cmon Mina, Jungkook was really shy around girls at the time. He barely said a word to any of you. People eventually started to assume he was gay.”

The table laughs as Mina scoffs.

You turn to Jungkook as his cheeks begin to turn red. “It’s okay baby,” you start. “Now no one thinks you’re gay.” You chuckle as you give him a peck on the lips. The table awes at the sight except for Jimin and Mina.

“Excuse me, may I get everyone’s attention,” says the company’s spokesperson over the microphone. You all turn to the stage area / dance floor. “Thank you all for being here and celebrating with us this prospering company. None of this could have been done without any of your hard work. Now the CEO will like to say a few words.”  

The CEO speaks for about 10 minutes and you all give a big round of applause. Once speeches were over, the live jazz band began to play while the food was being served. You were all engulfed in your 5 course meal, chatting away, even Jin and Mina getting in a few words. You all begin talking about the crazy things you’ve done in your youth.

“So I sneak out to this party when I was supposed to be babysitting my younger cousins . . .” starts Taehyung as you all listen intently. Suddenly you feel a hand on your right thigh. You turn and look at Jimin who gives you a wink.

You raise an eyebrow at him. “What are you doing?” you ask quietly so that only Jimin can hear.

He shrugs nonchalantly, “Nothing, just doing what I always do.”

“Well don’t do it here,” you say sternly.

“Why not?” he asks defensively.

“Because I’m at a work function and my date is Jungkook. Focus on your date.”

“I don’t want to. I want to play with you.” His hand inches higher on your thigh.

You grab his hand and place it on his lap. “I’m not here to play. I’m here to work.” You turn back to listen to the rest of Taehyung’s story as Jimin is left in awe with his hands to himself. He’s never seen this side of you before. You’ve always been so playful and lighthearted. Now you’re professional and serious. He’s not sure how he feels about it yet since he’s still in a state of shock but regardless he plans on having a conversation with you about it later.

After you are all done eating, you find it’s the perfect opportunity to go and network. You excuse yourself and Jungkook as you both get up and walk to meet and chat with the company’s elders and other affiliates. You hold Jungkook’s arm elegantly as you do most of the talking and prepare the conversation to have Jungkook contribute. You both leave a great impressions to the point where you both received personal business cards and invitations to dinners, country clubs, trips to which you both gratefully accept.

After successfully networking, you both decide to slow dance on the dance floor along with the other elder couples from the company. Your arms are loosely wrapped around Jungkook’s neck as he holds onto your waist and you both sway slowly to the jazz music.

“We did great today,” you say, giving Jungkook a loving smile that made his heart flutter.

“It was all you,” he says smiling back.

“Not at all, we’re a team here,” you reassure him. “Without you, my transition into this job would have been rough, but you make it better every day.”

Jungkook couldn’t stop smiling at your words that he did what felt natural to him and leaned in and kissed your lips softly. You returned the kiss happily as you’re both still swaying to the melodic and soothing music.

You both slowly back away from the kiss, as you look into each other’s eyes and smile. Your heart is racing and your lips tingle from the kiss. This kiss was different from your other kisses with him. You’ve never felt this way before that you’re not sure what you’re even feeling right now. You just know that throughout your experience here, you’ve never minded fake dating Jungkook, even liking it sometimes to the point where you forget it’s pretend. You don’t know where this is going but you’re excited to see where this goes.

Jungkook’s heart is beating a mile a minute. He’s not sure what came over him but that kiss was saying things that he couldn’t say aloud. You both pretend to date and kiss often but that kiss revealed what Jungkook feels, even if it’s just him who knows. He knows that you’re not the dating type and that you are friends with benefits with Jimin but if there is even a remote possibility that he might have a chance, he’s taking it, because he’s never felt this way before about anyone. And he thinks now is the time to tell you how he feels.

“Y/N,” starts Jungkook.

You hum in response, indicating for him to continue.

“You know I’m so grateful to you for always being there for me and pretending to date me.”

You chuckle and nod.

“But do you think we can-“

“Excuse me,” says a voice standing to the right of both of you. “May I cut in and dance with Miss Y/N?”

Jungkook looks at the young man, never having seen him before. Before Jungkook could say anything, you speak.

“Hoseok?” you say slightly breathless.

The man, Hoseok apparently, smiles. “It’s been a while Y/N.”

Jungkook looks at you both before saying, “I’m going to sit over there,” pointing at your table.

You look at him, smile and nod. You turn to look at Hoseok once he place his hands on your waist. You put your arms loosely around his neck as you sway slowly.

“As soon as I heard that you were working here, I was pleasantly surprised,” he starts. “However when I heard you were dating someone in the company I was even more surprised. So surprised I had to see it for myself.” He looks you in the eye with a glint of mischief.

“What can I say? I’ve changed since college,” you smirk at his words.

“I can see that. You’ve grown to be one hell of a woman,” he looks you up and down with a satisfied smile.

“Or so I’ve been told,” you say with a playful smile.

“Confidence? That’s new,” he says with raised eyebrows.

“I’m not the same girl from when you met me,” you shrug your shoulders.

As you dance with Hoseok, Jungkook takes a seat at your table with Seolhyun, Jimin, and Namjoon remaining there.

“Hey Seolhyun, do you know who that guy is dancing with Y/N?” asks Jungkook, thinking he maybe someone you knew from college.

Seolhyun peeks over at the dashing man holding your waist delicately, taking a close look at him. Recognition is evident in her face as she places a hand over her mouth. “Oh no, is that Hoseok?”

“I think so,” says Jungkook. “At least that’s what Y/N called him.”

“Who is he?” chimes in Jimin.

“That’s Y/N last boyfriend who absolutely destroyed her during college. She was head over heels for him and he was a complete douche bag that only cared about himself. He’s the reason she doesn’t do boyfriends anymore.”

Jungkook is taken aback by that information. You are the strongest person he knows. He can’t believe that someone like Hoseok had that much of an effect on you. And now he’s standing right in front of you again. He doesn’t know how you’ll react. He doesn’t know whether he should step in or not.

You and Hoseok continued talking about the past. Hoseok scoffs, “Yeah last time I heard, you were fucking around with my friends after us,” he elongates the last word, causing memories to rush back.

You chuckle at Hoseok’s words. “I was fucking around with your friends? Do you not remember how we broke up? Besides, they were fucking around with me. After we broke up, Yoongi came up to me for a booty call, saying he’s been wanting me since we’ve been together.”

Hoseok chuckles, “He always had good taste.”

“I’m everyone’s taste darling,” you tease.

“Mind if I have a taste then, to jog my memory?” he asks as he lowers one of his hands from your waist to your ass.

You roll your eyes as you grab his hand and bring it back up to your waist. “Sorry, I’m not on the market anymore.”

“So, it’s serious then. You’re actually in a relationship. With that guy.” He motions toward the table where Jungkook is sitting.

You look over and see Jungkook looking at you both with his eyebrows creased. Once he notices you looking, he averts his eyes and blushes. You chuckle. “Yeah, I’m dating that guy. He’s great.”

Hoseok nods in understanding, “Well if you ever get bored or want to revisit some college memories, you know where to find me.”

He hands you his card with his personal information on it. You take it and place it in your dress near your cleavage area. “Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Hoseok is now staring at your breasts. Before he can say anything, he’s interrupted by a voice next to you both. “Mind if I cut in?”

You both turn to see Jimin standing there with a playful smile. Hoseok nods and steps away so Jimin can replace him. “See you around Y/N,” Hoseok says as he walks away toward the bar.

You turn toward Jimin and smile at him. “What’s up?”

He smiles back, “Nothing, I just missed you.”

“We have literally been together this whole day,” you chuckle.

“Well I haven’t had your undivided attention for most of the evening,” he smirks.

“I’ve been busy with work baby. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

Jimin pouts as he looks down at your breasts and sees the piece of paper. “What’s this?” He reaches and takes the card out from your cleavage.

“Jimin!” you cross your arms over your chest as Jimin examines the card.

“Did this asshole really put his card in your boobs?” he asks angrily as he looks around for Hoseok.

“No, I put it there.” You put your arms around Jimin’s neck to get him to calm down. “I didn’t have any pockets so that’s the next best place.”

Jimin places his hands on your waist as you sway slowly. “Well why did he give you his card in the first place?”

You shrug, “To keep in touch or something.”

Jimin scoffs as he rolls his eyes, “You’re not seriously considering fucking this guy, are you?”

You laugh sarcastically, “No I’m not. I just took the card in case I need any favors.”

“Well make sure he doesn’t ask you for any favors in return, if you know what I mean.”

“I know what you mean Jimin. Besides, he thinks that I’m in a committed relationship with Jungkook and I left him with the impression that I’m faithful and into monogamy.”

Jimin chuckles, “You should quit your job and become an actress. Because people are eating this shit up. They genuinely believe you two are in a relationship.”

“It’s not hard to pretend with Jungkook. He’s boyfriend material.”

“I could be boyfriend material.”

You chuckle at his comment. “No offense Jimin, but you’re too much of a slut to be boyfriend material.”

“Well, I can be boyfriend material for you if it means that I can have this ass all to myself.”

You scoff sarcastically. “Yeah right Jimin. Since when were you into monogamy?”

“I’ll change if you ask me to,” says Jimin, looking you in your eyes as you sway to the slow jazz.

“Well, good thing I’m not asking you to change. I don’t want you to change for me. And I won’t change either.”

“But you are changing, quicker than I can blink,” says Jimin a little sad.

“What do you mean?” you ask cocking your head to the side.

“You’re so different right now. With all of this,” he says looking around. He then turns to look at Jungkook at the table chatting with his friends. “With him.”

You look at Jungkook as well, and your heart rate picks up. You didn’t think anyone else noticed how you treat Jungkook differently. Jimin looks at you staring at Jungkook and how your features change at the sight of him. He knows that you feel some type of way toward Jungkook, even if you didn’t know it yet. He also knows that Jungkook feels the same way, if not more. He’s known Jungkook for years, he’s seen him under many circumstances, and never has he shown this much interest in someone, let alone open himself up anyone, except you. He would be happy for Jungkook if that person was anyone else, anyone but you. Jimin has never been a possessive person, especially with his friends with benefits, but it’s different with you. He’s always been the person that would have to let go of his friends with benefits because they caught feelings, but it seems like he’s on the other side this time.

He coughs to get your attention again. He decides that maybe it isn’t the time to have this conversation so he changes the subject. “This is getting boring and you’re done with work. How about we all go back to my place for drinks and we can just chill? Namjoon and Taehyung can come too.”

You smile and nod as you both head back to the table to let them know about the plans.
