When the clock striked 9:00PM. Jimin set his pencil down after recording every hour of the healthy coral's reaction to the mixture and kept his stare at it while Jungkook returned from the restroom and looked at Jimin. Jungkook held his jacket and started to take off his lab coat, looking at Jimin with a smile.

            "Are we leaving now?" Jungkook wondered as he titled his head and looked at Jimin. "I asked an hour ago.."

           "We are leaving now. I just wanted to take a moment to record a bit of more." Jimin said as he stood up. "I think... We'll be set for our trip! Just need a few more tests, communication with the sponser and maybe sometime after my birthday, we'll be all set." Jimin said, taking off his apron, gloves and goggles. "Let's get out of here. We've had a long day."

        Jungkook walked alongside Jimin as they walked out of the lab and down the halls where most of the lights were dimmed. Showing that their co-workers have already left at the time. The two climbed into the car and sat down as Jimin started the car. At that moment, Yun-se began to call and Jimin just let out and exhale and held up the phone to his ear.

          "I hope you don't mind.." Jimin added as Jungkook allowed Jimin to answer the call. Jungkook sighed and looked out the window while he did another tongue roll along his cheek. Jimin answered the call and it was Yun-se. Not some strict and older woman. "Hello?"

         "Hello, Jimin! When are you coming home?" Yun-se wondered while she was in the dining room of the house, wearing her usual buisness outfit, pouring herself a glass of wine as she already had the table set up for dinner.

            "So excited for me to come home?" Jimin laughed as Jungkook kept his stare locked on Jimin's ring finger.

            "I'm not sleepy today. I thought maybe we could talk about something. About yesterday." Yun-se asked as Jimin took a moment to think. Bond with his wife he will live with forever, or bond with Jungkook, the one he feared losing just today and grew curious to know more about him.

             "Yun-se... I would love to, Dear... But I'm busy right now. We are having a small outing with a few friends. Is that okay?"

             "Oh! Okay. I understand." Yun-se responded happily as she kissed through the phone. "I love you, have a great time and don't forget to come home." Yun-se added. She understood Jimin would want to have his time by himself and friends. So, she allowed it.

           "I love you too. Bye." Jimin said with a smile and hung up the phone as Jungkook just looked away and tapped his shoe against the floor of the car. Feeling a bit tense from the phone call he overheard.

            Meanwhile, Yun-se placed the phone down and let out a sigh, walking to Jimin's side of the table putting away the plates and just holding her glass of wine while she set Jimin's bowls and chopsticks away. "Then it's just me." Yun-se whispered. Addressing the fact that she'll be on her own for dinner.

            Jimin set his phone in his pocket and turned on the ignition, beginning to pull out of the parking lot as Jungkook tapped his knuckles onto the cold window in silence. "Is there something wrong, Mr. Jeon?"

            "You didn't have to lie to your wife. You could have told her I was here and we were going to hang out together. If she trusts you, shouldn't you trust her?" Jungkook asked as Jimin started to drive off in silence. Trying to focus on what to say and focus on the road.

            "I'm not supposed to be talking to you... She knows it too and I know it." Jimin claimed as Jungkook laughed.

             "Jimin, there is no way she would tell her mother about you still hanging out with me."

              "It was what got me in trouble at first. She told her Mother and by there... The drama unfolded yesterday." Jimin said as he looked at Jungkook during a stop sign. "I'm craving junk food. What about you? After that we could walk around. I could use a good walk after     sitting down all day and staring at nothing but a timer and a bright pink coral."

            "I'm down for anything. I can't wait." Jungkook replied as Jimin smiled and resumed driving as soon as the light flashed green. "Where are you planning to take us to?"

             "I'm in the mood for pizza. I'd like a good soup or Kimchi stew... But at times I just want to eat something other than that." Jimin mentioned as he looked ahead to see a pizza place from afar. "Over a good talk, pizza sounds great, right?"

             "Yes. Ah, this feels like a date." Jungkook joked around and these types of jokes would usually have Jimin talking about how happily wedded he was but now, he would just laugh it off and smile to it.

          Jimin eventually took a turn and parked into the property of the Pizza place. It didn't seem full outside. Most couples or families were just outside eating in the back of their cars with the back door of the cars open or just the back of their trucks like a small picnic. Jimin looked around and walked forward with Jungkook into the restaurant and decided to eat indoors since Jimin wouldn't want the scent of Pizza in his car.

          Jimin turned around to face Jungkook. "Sit down and I'll surprise you!" Jimin said with a smile as he fixed his glasses. "I'll order it and bring it to you. Okay? Go find a table." Jimin mentioned as Jungkook nodded and placed his hands in his pocket, walking off to a random table far from others to sit and wait for Jimin. He could hear the older man's voice call in the attention of the employee and place in an order.

         Jungkook smiled while listening to Jimin order on the other side of the room and as soon as Jimin was done, he received a receipt. But refused to return to Jungkook until he brought in the pizza. Jimin also ordered two bottles of soda as he held it in his hands. Waiting for the pizza that would be made and handed over to the man. Jungkook kept peaking over his shoulder and catching a glance at Jimin to wave and smile again. This made Jimin quickly look away and fix his glasses as he tapped his hands onto the counter, nervously.

            After a while of waiting, Jimin finally came back to Jungkook with a big box of hot pizza. Twelve slices already cut out, the pepperoni just placed around the melting cheese pizza, hot and crunchy crust around the edges that was prepared with garlic sauce just brushed along it to give such a juicy look to the bread. And to close it off, Jimin handed Jungkook a bottle of ice and cold soda. Jimin set the pizza down and sat next to Jungkook, making sure he brought the napkins from a nearby napkin dispenser by the straws and forks for the side-dish salads they prepared there too.

           Jungkook watched Jimin sit down in front of him as he held the box open for Jungkook, setting down the lid on the table. "This place is open twenty-four hours, so take your time." Jimin mentioned as Jungkook nodded and thanked Jimin for buying this.

           "This is nice. I don't get why we are the only ones indoors while everyone is outside?" Jungkook wondered as Jimin set the napkins down and looked at Jungkook.

            "They are expecting to see a full moon. I've heard it's going to be beautiful. But it's a while from now. That's if you want to see it. They are just star gazing or just really want to smoke. Well, some of them." Jimin mentioned and took out a slice of hot and pepperoni pizza as he held it with one hand and folded it slightly so the hot and melted cheese wouldn't slip off.

            "A full moon would look nice. Maybe we'll catch it as soon as we start walking around, huh?" Jungkook smiled, pushing up his glasses before taking a slice and watching Jimin start to eat as he followed after. Still using these type of table manners for respect.

          "You don't have to wait for me to eat." Jimin chuckled as Jungkook just smiled and took a bite out of the Pizza.

           "It's respect, let me do it." Jungkook responded and as the two began to eat, Jimin was down to the crust as Jungkook looked up at Jimin again. Feeling the need of saying something.

              "Jimin... About today.. I'm sorry for shoving you and telling you to be a man. I was upset." Jungkook stated as Jimin brought up a napkin to remove the sauce from the corners of his own lips.

             "It's okay. I told you to do it. I didn't want you to hold back. I should have stood up for you but I made you feel bad. I never thought I'd see myself ask for you.. To shove me or hurt me over something so stupid I did blindly." Jimin mentioned as he looked down at another extra napkin, taking it into his hands and standing up to lean over and wipe a big stain of sauce on Jungkook's lip, leading to his chin. "You eat like a pig." Jimin laughed as Jungkook gave such a warm smile. "Muscle pig."

           "Sit down, I know how to wipe off sauce from my face, Four eyes." Jungkook laughed as Jimin giggled and sat right back down.

           "If you say so~" Jimin responded in a coo just so he could tease the younger again.

            "Ah, anyways... I'd like to apologize for that... I felt really bad just calling you unwise and telling you off. You could imagine how horrible I felt as soon as you came back to hug me. It made me feel horrible based on my actions. But then you came back with the problem fixed so quickly. I'm still shocked." Jungkook laughed as Jimin smiled and shoved Jungkook back onto his chair.

            "I already said the team wouldn't work without you. Besides, you helped with the mixture so you need to be on this project. You may not get payed for this... but I'm glad you do it for a good experience. Do you ever have time for your main job?"

         "I have time for that. My boss gave me a long break since I said I was sick. But I need to stop slacking off and I'll have to work. It'll change my hours in the lab. At times I'll need you to pick me up... But then at times I'll tell you not to since I'll have different shifts. I'm sorry." Jungkook apologized in advance and all Jimin did was smile and shake his head.

            "As long as you show up to the lab and help around with our samples for our trip soon, I wouldn't mind." Jimin responded and opened his bottle of soda as he kept his stare at Jungkook. "I still wouldn't mind putting a pause on my work just to take you to your other job. Okay? Make sure you always tell me so I can take you there." Jimin added, causing the younger to nod his head and give another cute smile to the older. Feeling as if he grew closer to Jimin over anything. It made him question, why couldn't he do this a long time ago?
