jimin giggled while holding his phone too close to his face. he had received a text from namjoon and nothing made him happier.

"what's wrong with jimin?" asked jungkook as he watched his friend giggle some more.

"i think he's texting someone," said yoongi while scrunching his nose, cringing at the schoolgirl behavior vibes that jimin was giving off.

"he's obviously texting namjoon," said taehyung. "he has a huge crush on him."

"does namjoon feel the same way?" asked yoongi. "because i don't think i'll be able to handle twice the giggling and lovey-dovey stuff."

taehyung shrugged. "i don't know, but if he doesn't, he'll eventually come to and if you can't handle the giggles and lovey-dovey stuff then i guess you don't deserve my love and affection for you."

taehyung huffed and turned to jungkook, wrapping his arms around the bunny who immediately hugged back, closing his eyes and smiling. "jungkook sure seems to appreciate the lovey-dovey stuff."

yoongi scoffed before pulling taehyung away from jungkook and wrapping his arms around him from behind. yoongi wasn't as tall as taehyung so he only reached up slightly past his boyfriend's shoulders.

taehyung chuckled before turning his attention back to jimin. jimin was still giggling.

"hey jimin," taehyung called out. jimin looked up from his phone. "what are you giggling about?"

jimin smiled wide before turning his phone to show his friends. "namjoon is texting me. he's so cute. we're going on a date tonight-well actually it's not really a date, we're just hanging out, but i want to call it a date."

"why are you guys hanging out?" asked jungkook curiously. jimin never hung out much except for his friends.

"we're trying to get to know each other better," explained jimin before going back to his phone and replying back to namjoon's recent text.

taehyung raised his eyebrows in amusement before leaving jimin alone and gushing with yoongi and jungkook about how cute of a couple namjoon and jimin would be.

meanwhile, jimin was in his own world of unicorns and rainbows where the sun always shined as he read namjoon's reply.

2:44 pm
namjoon: considering how hot the weather is today, maybe we would go get some ice cream

2:43 pm
jimin: what's ice cream?

2:45 pm
namjoon: you've never had ice cream? 😮

2:46 pm
jimin: no...is that bad?

2:47 pm
namjoon: yes, yes it is

2:48 pm
jimin: well it's a good thing i'm going to eat ice cream today 🤩

2:50 pm
namjoon: you won't be disappointed 🤩

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

jimin was not disappointed.

he sat outside the ice cream parlor on the chairs that the place provided for you to enjoy your ice cream on a hot summer day. across from jimin was sitting namjoon watching as jimin bit into his ice cream.

"no, don't bite into it, your teeth-"

"ahhh it's cold!" jimin yelled in a deep voice as his tongue tried to remove the ice cream from his teeth.

"that's my fault," said namjoon after jimin's small accident. "i should have mentioned that it hurts when you bite into ice cream."

"anything else i should know?" asked jimin, cautiously looking at his ice cream.

"just don't eat it too fast or you'll get a brain freeze."

jimin nodded, not knowing what a brain freeze was, but didn't want to find out, so he carefully ate his ice cream.

namjoon chuckled the naive human's behavior before eating his ice cream as well.

"what flavor did you get?" asked jimin after he noticed that namjoon didn't get the same ice cream flavor that he did.

"i just got plain vanilla."

"that's boring."

"hey! vanilla is still delicious and besides, you hadn't even tasted ice cream before until now," said namjoon, trying to defend his favorite ice cream flavor. "so how would you know that vanilla ice cream is boring?"

"can i taste yours, then?" asked jimin.

namjoon was hesitant. he had already eaten some of his ice cream and he didn't really like the idea of sharing food with other people, but he remembered that he shared his food with jimin at the restaurant, so he brought his ice cone close to jimin's mouth and let him try it.

"how does it taste?" asked namjoon after he watched jimin try it.

jimin shrugged before eating more of namjoon's ice cream.

"hey, that's my ice cream, you have yours," said namjoon as he watched jimin eat more of it.

"you can have some of mine," said jimin before holding out his ice cream cone to namjoon and letting his crush taste his as well, even though namjoon already knew what strawberry ice cream tasted like.

"is it good?" asked Jimin with hopeful eyes.

namjoon nodded, not having the heart to tell jimin that he already knew that strawberry ice cream was good.

jimin smiled before he went back to eating his ice cream. he got some ice cream on the corner of his upper lip and licked it off all while namjoon watched him. he nervously gulped and turned away, not wanting to get caught staring.

namjoon imagined how it would feel like to kiss those lips that jimin had. they were really nice. he felt them when he cleaned the food on the side of jimin's mouth when he hung out with him at the restaurant and now, watching jimin lick the ice cream off his lips, had namjoon wishing he could kiss jimin.

but, something held him back.

jimin isn't really a human. his original form is a cat, therefore making jimin a cat, or at least that's what namjoon thought. besides, it's only been a week since he met jimin.

as much as he wanted to feel jimin's lips, he couldn't even imagine kissing a cat. just imagining jimin in his cat form and kissing him, caused goosebumps on namjoon's arms.

he shuddered the thoughts away before he finished eating his ice cream and waited for jimin to finish his as well.

jimin smiled after he was done with his cream and all namjoon could focus on jimin's lips.

"namjoon what are you looking at?"

your lips.

"um...you got ice cream on the side of your mouth," he lied.

jimin's eyebrows furrowed in confusion before attempting to lick off the ice cream that wasn't there.

namjoon shook his head before he reached out and grazed his thumb over jimin's lips, feeling how plump his lips were.

namjoon wished he could kiss them, he really did.

"namjoon?" jimin called our after namjoon zoned out while staring at jimin's lips.

namjoon pretended to wipe away the ice cream off jimin's lips before removing his hand and letting it rest at his side. he bit his lip as his thumb tingled, the feeling of jimin's lips, still lingering there.

namjoon shook his head, having an internal battle with himself. as much as jimin liked him, he couldn't like him back. jimin was a cat and he just couldn't see himself loving a cat in a romantic way.
