Warning: Extra Flirty and Stupid-who-doesn't-recognize-his-feelings Jimin. I'm writing this as I listen to Filter on repeat. Read at your own caution. Jimin stans with weak hearts, I'm sorry.

"Okay, here's some clothes and towels for you to use and the water should be ready any minute now," you say coming out of room and put the mentioned folded items on his hands, "I don't know what shampoo you use or if we have it here but, your highness, will have to settle."

"Oooh, My highness sure likes to be referred to this way," Jimin grins with a wiggle of his eyebrows.

"Oh, Honey, I'm just trying to boost your confidence, you're not really a King," you reply with an overly sweet and sarcastic voice and become amused by the way the smile falls off of his lips. But then a mischievous expression takes over his face and you grow alert.

What did the devil think of, again?

"You wish I were your honey, don't you?" he quirks an eyebrow and you greet your teeth for giving him the opportunity to build on to your words, "I'm the king of your heart," he continues dramatically with a shake of his head and his bangs cover the top half of his face.

"Go shower," you turn him around and start pushing him towards the bathroom, "And make sure you don't slip in there and die. I don't want a murder investigation happening in this place."

Jimin turns around an looks at you amused as you keep on pushing him further, now your hands resting on his biceps, "What if I do fall?" he suggests using the dramatic deep voice again as he pushes his hair back and they fall beautifully on his forehead again. You look at him quizzically not sure what he means, "What if I fall in love with you?" He winks with his one eye and purses his lips as if preparing them for a kiss on the cheek.

You stop pushing him and he halts his step. You're looking at him with furrowed eyebrows and your mouth slightly open- you're not reacting the way he was hoping you would; blush and maybe stammer through your words, so he's loosing a bit of his confidence so his face softens and becomes more serious- and you're just looking at him as if you're contemplating whether he hit his head somewhere and now he's having communication issues.

To stop the tension and the knot in his stomach from getting tighter he laughs out loud and says, "I broke you, didn't I?"

You chuckle a bit unsure of how to reply, "I think you need to shower and go straight to bed because you're starting to talk nonsense."

"You're the one who called me Honey and took it there, Honey," he defends himself with another wink from him that has you roll your eyes. There's no way he'll let himself take the weight on this.

For a second,though, after Jimin finishes his entire sentence, you pause and feel chills running down your spine at the sound of Jimin calling you 'Honey' using a deeper tone with his voice to leave more impact. You take a second and then snap out of it and push him inside the bathroom muttering, "Go shower, idiot," and closing the door on him as his laughter echoes through the apartment.

Once nothing but the occasional car passing by on the street and Jimin turning the water every now and then is the only sound that be heard, you find yourself taking a deep breath on the couch in the living room and feeling your body relaxing from a lot of tension as you exhale. You open your phone and check if you've any messages and specifically any updates on EunBi and TaeHyung.

To your surprise there's a message from EunBi;

-Sorry for disappearing this way today. Mark told me you wanted to reach out but honestly, I'm not in a mood to talk. I saw a text message from NamJoon saying that SiNa came to apologize to me and that I should talk with TaeHyung because it's all a misurderstanding but I'm not in a mental state to listen to anything. Please understand. I need some time alone to sort my feelings and prepare my self, so I've stay away.  I don't know how long that will be but in any case please take my place for the competition. I wouldn't trust anyone else with it. I'm very sorry again, but I need to focus on my self. I hope you're not mad at me. I'll try to reach out soon. Lots of love, EunBi.

Your stomach dropped to the pits off hell when you read that text. The whole situation must've affected her more than just her assuming that TaeHyung cheated on her. You truly do feel bad for her but you're not sure what else you can do than to just obey to her requests. You wish you could solve her problems  but that's not how it works. And clearly, it's more than just saying he wasn't with someone else behind her back. It'll take time and it's true she needs to be able to stand on her own two feet before she tries to restore her relationship back. You just hope TaeHyung will be willing enough to wait for her.

You type up a long reply supporting her decision and reassuring that you'll do your best to help the guys with the competition and by the time you finish Jimin is done with his shower and he's come out of the steamed up bathroom dressed in the black sweatpants and black-cotton-long-sleeved-shirt you gave him with his hair still dripping wet.

"So, how much dirt did you take off yourself? Are the pipes clogged?" you tease with a cocky smirk as you close your phone and put it at your side while looking up at him trying to dry his hair as much as possible with a small towel.

"Shut up," he retorts with a growl.

"Oooh, you smell like strawberry," you comment.

"You like?"

"It's EunBi's shampoo," you reply trying to avoid the question and jimin takes a seat next to you and he lets the towel sit on his thigh once he's done with his hair.

He turns to look at you through his hair that's mostly fallen on his face, "That's not what I asked."

You're caught off guard for a second by his answer but it doesn't stop you from replying, "I don't use that shampoo so connect the dots."

He chuckles and shakes his head for his hair to fall into the right place as much as possible. After that he runs a hand through his hair to push everything that's covering his face back while he's looking towards the turned off tv screen that's serving as the best option of a mirror for him right now.

"EunBi messaged me. She says she won't be back for a while," you say.

"So I guess you're in the team for sure now, eh?" he turns his head to look at you with interest written in his eyes.

"Yeah..."

"Then we should go sleep because practice is no child's play and you've a lot to learn," he says in a serious tone before he dips his head at the front and starts pulling on his shirt from the back to take it off.

"Why the hell are you taking it off?" you exclaim and sit further away from him. You're not sure why your body reacted that way- but that's food for thought for later.

"Well, we're going to sleep and I can't sleep with a shirt one. I wore it for no reason in the first place," he shrugs as he starts folding the shirt on his thighs.

Goodness.

You sigh, your eyes never leaving him, as you get flashbacks from other times you've seen him shirtless; few days ago in Busan where he even dared to trick you to look at him and another when you walked in on him dancing alone. Truth be told, he is amazing eye candy. You certainly aren't having it easy to look away from his torso and then biceps but there's been enough self-exposure now, hasn't there? He might get the wrong message.

"And you couldn't do that at the comfort of your privacy in EunBi's room?"

The shirt is off and it lies on his legs while he turns to look at you with mock disappointment and a pout on his lips, "EunBi's room? We're not gonna sleep together? Aah," he grimaces, "Why ruin the streak?"

You don't know what else to do but laugh at his reaction, "Not a chance."

"How am I supposed to sleep without my Honey?" he urges harder and slides a seat closer to you, with your thighs' sides touching fully, shaking his shoulders up and down while looking at you with puppy eyes and leaning closer to your face.

That's it. You get embarrassed and nervously laugh while shifting your gaze to anywhere but him and his exposed body, "Don't you like having your space?"

There it is.

Jimin notices as he cracks a smile being fond of you and proud of himself for being that blush on your cheeks again. He wonders of what else to say to keep the playful interaction happening but he notices you're not very much into it- hence, he decides it's best to stop. The smile disappears and you notice because you're looking at his lips. One corner is tugged upwards for a bit and you can't help but admire them. So nicely shaped, plump and soft looking. Your breathing slows down and you feel a new found fire-like feeling take over you in your chest. Is it desire, maybe? But desire for what? To feel his lips against yours?

You shift your eyes upwards and find Jimin looking at your own lips with perhaps the same or even more passion you did. The tip of his tongue barely darts out to moisten his lips and his own breathing deepens. You can feel a small brush of air against your skin.

You almost inch a bit closer just as Jimin does but then his eyes raise up to meet yours and for a split second they widen before they return to a regular size. As if he realized that what he was about to do would be completely insane and totally out of character. With a light shake of his head he pulls away from you and hums,

"I guess I'll take on your offer for tonight, since you don't want me. But I won't forget you ruined our streak," he retorts mockingly before he pats your thigh and sits up to head for EunBi's room.

As he passes by you he mutters a, "Goodnight," that you return in almost an inaudible whisper- still shaken from the intimate- if it's to be considered that- moment.

Jimin opens the door to EunBi's dark room and closes the door behind him before he heads for her bed- hitting his small toe on a chair as well- and then hopping on her bed and sprawling out on it like a starfish facing the ceiling.

He takes a deep breath as the pain on his toe starts fading away and his mind takes him to the moment where he almost leaned in to kiss you. Thank goodness he woke up from that haze otherwise he's not sure how things would've escalated if he'd made the move.

But other than himself being unsure why he almost kissed you and why his gut kept urging to lean in back there, there's something else that's troubling him; You didn't seem to mind his close proximity and looked more than welcoming for him to initiate the kiss.

Could...Could she have a crush on me?

Now that's food for thought definitely meant to be had in the middle of the night as he tries to sleep.
