It is a beautiful afternoon of spring. Leaves are scattered like they are embracing the fields with their colors and warmth. It is painting a quite calming picture.

A sixteen years old boy tippy toes around the grass. Even though he looks young, his demeanor warns one that he is not someone to be messed with! His deep brown chocolatey doe eyes and untied fluffy shoulder long hair do not suit his soft muscles.

He puts his hands inside his jacket and searches for a pen. After finding it, he throws it on the wooden window of a two storied house.

After a moment or so, another boy of sixteen opens the wooden window of the second floor. That boy has round, slightly chubby, marshmallow cheeks, mesmerizing eyes, a cute small red nose and plump pink lips. He is wearing round glasses.

He exclaims quietly but happily and waves his hands, "Jungkookie!"

The first boy, Jungkookie, looks up and slightly hums. He starts climbing the pillar attached near the window and safely reaches into bright yellow themed room.

The other boy rolls his eyes, "Jungkook-ah, you know there is a door in my house, right? People use it to come in and go out of the house."

Jungkook settles himself on the queen sized bed of room, "I know, Jimin-shi."

That boy, Jimin, hmphs, "Then why do you always have to come through the window. It never fails to scare the living shit out of me! One of these day, you are gonna break you bones!"

Jungkook snickers, "You want me to come from the front door where your mother is watching TV now? Your mother faints the moment she sees me, the neighbourhood bad guy, with you, her sweet, cute, little babyboy. I only cut her some slacks."

"You are exasperating! She doesn't even bat her eyelashes now."

"Gotta admit it. I am starting to love your eomma now. She even lets me eat her foods."

"Yeah, yeah, I know!"

"But if your brother sees me, he is gonna kill me. I don't know what's his problem. Every time he sees me with you, it's like I am trying to eat you alive."

Jimin shakes his head in disbelief, "You did not need to be so dramatic!"

Jungkook chuckles unamusingly, "We both know I am not. He has a high blood  pressure thinking I will create a bad influence on his oh so perfect boy just by standing near you. Forget about even coming inside your room."

Jimin laughs lightly, "Well we reap what we sow. And the example of being the neighbourhood bad boy was set by you. You can't exactly blame Yoongi hyung!"

Jungkook hmphs, "Whatever!"

Jimin smiles untill his eyes turns into moon crescent at his friend's childish behaviour while Jungkook is pouting slightly.

"I can't believe they call you a bad boy. You are just a bulky, hulky baby!"

Jungkook frowns, "No!"

"What, no?"

Jungkook explains further while keeping a straight face, "You forgot to add manly man, not baby. You are the baby!"

Jimin pouts, "Hey, don't call me that."

"Please! The whole school believes that you are the baby."

"So what? I am not a baby and I will only add manly but not man."

"Yeah, that's right. You are my darling, right?"

Jimin feels his cheeks going hot. It is a nickname Jungkook has picked on when they are watching a movie together.

He glares at his teasing remark, "Doesn't matter. Don't change the topic. I won't add man. You are still baby. You aren't even eighteen yet."

Jungkook smirks, "Well, I will be one day darling."

"I don't care. You are the bulky, hulky, manly baby and not me. And that's final."

Jungkook snickers, "Such a baby!"

Jimin gives him a fake cheeky smile, "Did you say something? "

"Nothing, darling."

Jimin says nothing at the new nickname. It is not an unfamiliar one, after all. Jungkook has called him like this many times jokingly. He does mind it, okay maybe he doesn't. Jungkook only smiles at silence.

Jimin goes to his dressing table and brings a brush and purple hair tie. He gets up on the bed and stands on his knees behind Jungkook, "You again left your hair untied. You gotta be careful about your fluffy hair. Let me tie it for you."

"Hmmm"

"Jungkookie, get down on the floor. It's easier this way."

Jungkook gets down from the bed and sits on the floor while leaning against the bed. He mumbles under his breath, 'Shortie!' while Jimin just ignored it.

Jimin starts combing Jungkook's hair, "Did you know that I reached school 5 minutes late because of you?"

"Why darling?"

Jimin feels his hands a little trembling at the nickname and explains, "You did not come to pick me up. Even though my eomma is not fond of you, she knows that we always go to school together. You are my neighbor after all!"

Yes, Jungkook's house is close to his. They are neighbors. So, most of the times, they go to school together. Even if his brother does not like it much, it is better than setting his brother alone. After Yoongi passed from the school, they always go to school together.

"Darling, I told you that I had a basketball match today and was not coming to school.Then why did you wait for me?"

"Stop moving. Sit straight. And I forgot that you told me and then missed the timing."

Jimin ties his hair into a man bun and smiles at his work, "Done!"

Jungkook touches his hair and then gets up to get on the bed, "Minnie, wanna go to the   garage with me in the morning tomorrow?"

Jungkook's family has a car garage. His parents lives in the Seoul while Jungkook lives here in this small town with his grandpa and his doberman, Coco. His grandpa normally handles the business while Jungkook sometimes goes there to take a look at things.

Jimin puts the brush on his bedside table and gets inside the covers, "But don't we have school tomorrow? "

Jungkook messages one of his feet which is out of the blanket like it is a normal thing to do and smirks slightly, "Darling, the universe won't stop if you miss classes one day!"

"No, I have already missed one last week because you wanted to go the beach. I am not falling for your tricks again, Mr.Jeon!"

Jungkook grumbles, "Come on. Don't be a spoiler. I will take you to the hills too."

Jimin shakes his head, "No, go with someone else."

Jungkook moves his hands to held his one arm, "You are my only friend."

"What about your basketball teammates?"

"How can those jerks be considered my friends. It's only you and you know that. You are my person. You are my bestie!"

Jimin feels like today was exceptionally hot cause he again feels his ears going hot. But he is going to give up so soon if Jungkook behaves like this.

Jungkook pouts, "Darling, please!"

"....."

"Pleaseeeeee!"

"......"

"Darling~"

Jimin takes his arms back that Jungkook is holding one and mumbled, "Okay. You always win! Emotional blackmailing!"

Jungkook laughs and hugs him, "Minnie, you are the best."

"Now move."

"No," Jungkook slids inside the covers and nudges at his feet.

Jimin smiles and takes a book from the bedside table and starts reading while Jungkook takes his mobile out.

After some time, Jimin speaks up, "Jungkook-ah, remember Eunwoo?"

Jungkook absentmindedly asks, "Who?"

"Eunwoo. Cha Eunwoo, the first bencher. If you paid a little bit more attention in the class, you would know who he is."

"I have so many important things to do. And I pay attention to you, isn't that enough?"

"Shut up! He got 3 marks more in Physics this exam, remember?"

Jungkook locks his phone and turns his attention towards Jimin, "Yeah, now I do. You cried because that bastard got more marks than you. Of course, I remember that jerk!"

Jimin exasperatedly hisses, "Don't call him like that!"

Jungkook defends himself, "Why not? He made you cry!"

"It was not his fault!"

"So what? He was the reason."

Jimin sighs, "Okay, okay! So, he brought me flowers today."

Jungkook turns to look at Jimin and raises his eyebrows, "Why would that jerk do that?"

"I don't know. He said those flowers remembered him of me. Then he even gave me chocolates."

Jungkook pokes his cheek with his tongue, "Did he now?!"

Jimin keeps on talking without looking a Jungkook, "Yeah, I think he was flirting with me. He kinda talked to me these past few day you know.. umm... the way someone talks with one they are interested in."

Jungkook rolls his eyes, "That fucking two penny fucker! I am gonna break his fucking hands tomorrow."

Jimin gasps and sits straight, "No, you are not gonna do anything like this. He did not even say he likes me or something! It is just my wild guess."

"So what?"

Jimin takes a pillow and hits Jungkook on his arm, "Stop this! You don't even know if I am interested in him or not?"

Jungkook falls silent at that, "Well, are you?"

Jimin looks in his eyes, "What do you think?"

Jungkook looks back in his eyes, "I don't think so."

Jimin raises his eyebrows, "Why so?"

They keep looking at each other until Jungkook breaks their eye contact and nervously rubs his back neck, "He does not seem your type, darling!"

Jimin smiles at his answer but says nothing while Jungkook speaks up again, "So?"

"What?"

"Are you interested in that jerk, I mean, Eunsoo?"

Jimin laughs out loud, "Jungkookie, that's Eunwoo not Eunsoo!"

Jungkook rolls his eyes, "Literally the same thing."

Jimin leans his head on Jungkook's shoulder, "No, I am not interested."

Jungkook chuckles while he tries to calm down his racing heartbeat, hoping he won't find out about it. He whispers, "Oh! You are not, huh?"

"Nope!"

Jungkook chuckles, "What a shame! I would have loved to see that jerk getting cursed his shit out by your dear brother!"

"Jeon Jungkook, gosh, why are you like this?"

"Well Why am I so freaking handsome and beyond talented? You see half of it is because of genes and the other half of it is all my credits!"

"Stop it."

"So you are really sure that you don't like that jerk?"

Jimin pouted, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! That's why I even returned his chocolates. And now I am craving for one. Jungkook-ah, get me some."

"So spoiled! Where am I going to get chocolates now from? And you eat so many. It is not good for your health."

"Come on, Mr. Bulky hulky manly baby!"

Jungkook rolls his eyes but still cannot hide his fondness which made Jimin smile so prettily that Jungkook's heart goes boom boom again!

He calms his heart down and blurts, "Okay, okay. You win again but tomorrow! "

"As many as I want, right?" Jimin asks excitedly.

"Hm, as many as you want!"

"You are spoiling me, Jungkookie!"

Jungkook holds their joined hands tighter, "Well, I want to spoil my darling forever, can't I?"

Jimin blushes deeply until even his neck is a little red and squeezes out a little "Hm..."

Jungkook inquires, "Wanna hear songs?"

"You brought earphones?"

"Duh! I don't want your mom to kick my ass."

Jimin laughs out loud at his smirk, "Well, it won't be the first time she caught you in my room. To be honest, in the last week, you were literally caught four out of five times!"

"So what? I will keep coming as long as I want. No one and nothing can stop me coming for you," Jungkook exclaims sincerely making Jimin speechless.

He whines while trying to tap down his blush, "Just play the song already, will you?"

Jungkook connects his earphone to his mobile and gives one part to Jimin.

Both of them fall silent. But it is not awkward. It is followed by the uncontrollable beating of their hearts. It is just them. And they are okay with whatever they have, at least for now.
