(A/N:
Just a little promotion, but the video above is a trailer I made for a Vminkook story that one of the lovelies is in the makes of creating called Jewel.

The story idea is pretty supernatural, of how aliens from different planets wander to Earth and a scientific lab helps them adjust to the Earth life or go back to their planet. Don't want to spoil too much, but if you have any questions, write them here in the comments and the author will sure answer them :)

Im pretty proud of this video, it took me a while to make hahaha

Alright, now onto the story!)

Jeongguk had his duffel bag in hand with the set of clothes he was going to change into in the morning for his trip when he arrives to Jimin and Taehyung's room. Being the respectable person he is, he knocked first and waited until he heard a brief soft voice telling him to come in.

Upon entering the room, the first thing he sees is the two beds now placed together side by side, cozily organized with the pillows ready to be snuggled onto all night.

The room is dark, besides the candles and the window curtains letting the light cascade inside to the bed.

It feels cozy.

Warm.

Instantly making Jeongguk want to get on that bed and sleep forever.

His eyes then fixed to Taehyung's desk, where he see Jimin sitting and hovered over a notebook while scribbling things fiercely on it as though his life depended on it. Taehyung is leaning over his shoulder, a hand on his desk and the other to the back rest of the chair, glasses to his face as he looks at the writing Jimin's doing.

They didn't have to look up to know it was Jeongguk, but they did poor out a low greeting and assuring him that they're almost done. So Jeongguk easily made himself at home. He put his things down on Jimin's desk and plopped on his back to the bed, phone out as he texts Yuta.

He doesn't really know anything that's going on, but they haven't spoken in a long time, so it always feels nice to talk to him and catch up. He's planning to visit whenever he has break, so that's something they're looking forward to.

Jeongguk was so engrossed in talking to him that he didn't even notice when Jimin and Taehyung finished, not until he suddenly felt the bed dip on his side and suddenly someone was cozily snuggling on him with their head peaking on the opening of Jeongguk's arms and head placed to his chest.

This didn't even twitch a reaction from Jeongguk, since he's use to Jimin's affectionate nature by now. To show that he did acknowledge his presence, he used on hand to respond to Yuta's message and the other hugs Jimin by the shoulders closer to his body before sliding it down his spine and holds his waist.

Jimin slides his bare leg up Jeongguk's own bare leg and holds onto him like a stuffed animal, just as Taehyung finds his way laying down beside them after he took off his closes and plops on his side against his elbow. Jeongguk quickly ends his conversation with Yuta and extends his phone out, to which Taehyung wordlessly took it and charged it for tomorrow.

"Excited for trip?"

Jeongguk didn't twitch a reaction to Jimin's question, but he did sigh heavily, staring at the ceiling, "Yeah.... Really am."

"You..... You going see Ariana.... Right? Sorry if too nosy, I stop."

For a good moment Jeongguk does hesitate, since he's not sure whether Jimin would say anything by accident or will keep his mouth quiet.

But if Taehyung trusts him, Jeongguk can slowly find himself to do the same when it comes to personal things. Him and Jimin don't really have a personal relationship. It's mainly just being comforting or touchy, since Jimin always catches him at a sentimental time.

And he is a very comforting, soft and sweet person.

It's only with Taemin that the boy really gets riled up with.

Taemin just knows which buttons to press to piss him off.

So following his instinct, Jeongguk nods, "Yeah, see Ariana."

"Oh," Jimin murmurs, surprised possibly that Jeongguk even answered, "Um... I been seeing Troye's twitter, Ariana's friend. Small hints but.... She pregnant?"

Jeongguk gulps thickly, glancing to Taehyung. The boy is already staring at him, lips tightly pressed together before giving him a brief nod.

"Yes," Jeongguk says quietly, "She is. Woosung's baby."

Jimin didn't say anything for a long while, processing what was just said out to the open in this quiet room. Slowly Jeongugk was growing nervous, since he doesn't fucking know what to expect from Jimin, but suddenly the small boy sits up on Jeongguk's legs. Not for long because he suddenly drags Jeongguk's arms and sits him up too, the two facing each other.

Jimin looks anything but playful.

"Woosung must know Jeongguk," Jimin says, serious, "If he dad, must know he is father."

"I know," Jeongguk sighs, resting his hands on the bed and leaning back, looking at Jimin on his lap, "She getting abortion."

Jimin's entire face falls, shocked, slowly looking at Taehyung and then back to Jeongguk.

It was as though the life was flashing his eyes, and he gets closer to Jeongguk, shaking his head, "N-No - No abortion-"

"Her body, her choice," Jeongguk immediately says, eyeing Jimin, "She tried talking to Woosung, but he never have time. She gave up and don't find sense telling him, since she no have baby no more."

It was as though Jimin was kicked on the chest, leaving him breathless in shock with his wide innocent eyes wide glossing by the information.

Taehyung noticed the strange reaction from him and carefully places his hand on his shoulder, noticing how Jimin's body was shaking, "Hey, what's wrong?"

Almost instantly Jimin's eyes began to tear up, lips wobbling as he sinks in air through his teeth and tries to calm down, but when Jeongguk softly caresses his cheek to ease him down, he grew weaker.

It was as though he was being tormented in his head, something killing him from the inside.

And it hurt him.

A lot.

He shutters under his breath, eyes closing, "M-My mom.... Biological mother wanted me gone too," He says quietly, fluttering his eyes open to face the two with a weak stare, "S-She tried falling downstairs. U-Use hanger in her vagina to try to take me out. T-Tried poison o-or plan b, tried e-everything."

Jeongguk's heart dropped upon hearing this, glancing to Taehyung to see him equally as shocked as Jeongguk was, eyes focused on Jimin.

Jimin wipes his eyes, shaking his head, "B-But now mom, adoptive mom, stop her every time. She was maid. She followed mom one day she went to illegal abortion clinic. S-She end up taking me in her tummy, since mom had break down and had knife to hit stomach. If weren't for my mama, wouldn't be here."

No wonder he's sensitive to this topic....

He would literally not be here if it weren't for his mother.

And would be dead in a very brutal way.

Jimin suddenly takes Jeongguk's jaw, eyes bleeding into his, "Please..... Don't let her give up baby."

"Jimin," Jeongguk whispers, placing his soft hand against his wrist, "Have to understand, her body her choice. Too young and strict parents-"

"I help!" Jimin immediately says, "I help take care baby. Family full of kids, good with kids! I buy clothes, get job and send money - if parents problem, she can stay with my family. They will love her!" O-Or me take baby - Wait, possible? Should be right?"

It really did burn Jeongguk's heart how dedicated Jimin seems to be about this, and he without a doubt didn't expect anything less from him.

When it comes to nurturing others, Jimin is that person.

He would do anything to make someone feel wanted and supported.

It's an admirable trait, and very much appreciated.

Taehyung softly squeezes his shoulder, making Jimin look at him to see the firm look on Taehyung's face, "Ari's choice. You can only do so much. She no want baby, can't force her. Baby unhappy if mommy unhappy."

That's true.

If she's unhappy with the baby, the child will only grow unhappy without love.

Like Taehyung said, Jimin can only do so much.

They can only do so much.

And the best thing to do now is take care of Ari and support her.

So in defeat Jimin's shoulders shags and he looks at Jeongguk, the deep frown on his lips.

Jeongguk stares at him with a heavy heart, sitting up properly and hugging him close against his body. Jimin wraps his arms around his shoulders, letting Jeongguk trail his hands slowly around his waist and clasp his hand over his wrist, keeping Jimin in place in a reassuring embrace.

And that's the best thing he can offer to him right now.

Taehyung softly smiles to the soft pair, scooting closer and wraps his arms around their body, tugging them to lay down. Now Jeongguk lays his head on Taehyung's chest beside him while Jimin still lays on the ravenette, face nuzzled to his neck.

It was quiet for a long time, mainly because they're trying to digests the situation down, knowing they don't have much to go on besides following whatever Ariana wants to do.

Somewhere in the midst of the silence, Taehyung did start a conversation to not linger in this tension, and from there they just moved through things about their day or the week.

True to the theory, they don't remember much about last night. Jeongguk was out of it after he was talking to Taemin in the booth, Taehyung was long gone when he got out of the bathroom with Woosung and Jimin can barely remember anything after his kiss with Minho.

Yet they weren't panicked about the situation, neither was anyone in this house.

If anything, they were a bit glad it was with each other and not a random stranger.

"Taemin first kiss??"

Taehyung lips is gapped in shock to what Jeongguk just said, something he remembered while being intoxicated that night when he got to his room.

Silly, drunken kiss.

Not something he makes as a big deal, but it does send him little shivers just thinking that he finally had his first kiss with someone.

Even if it was while being drunk..... And passed out.....

Does Taemin even know or remember?

"My first man kiss too," Jimin admits after, blinking when both Jeongguk and Taehyung snap their gazes at him, "What?"

"Taemin first guy kiss??" Taehyung repeats, face coiling up in confusion, "Never kiss another guy before him?"

The question had Jimin blushing just a tad bit, and he shakes his head, "No. No like men, why would I kiss another man?"

"But you kissed Taemin...."

"And Woosung."

"And Minho."

"And me -"

"Exploring now okay!" Jimin blurts out in embarrassment, hiding his face behind his hands, groaning, "Weird feelings around roomies, Taemin said help figure out."

"Roomies?" Jeongguk murmurs quietly, eyebrow slowly raised, "Plural."

Jimin has officially turned around, back towards them, "Leave me aloneeeee."

Looks like Jimin sure is doing a lot of exploring, and not only feel comfortable doing those things to just Taemin or those listed, but with the Roomies in general.

They make him feel safe enough to open up.

To figure what it is exactly why he's attracted to the thought of kissing them, wanting to do more romantic things than just be bros and call it a day.

This is so humiliating admitting it out into the open, fuck.

Too fueled in his humiliation and embarrassment, Jimin suddenly feels someone shifting and moving. From one moment to the next, Taehyung is suddenly laying in front of him, a reassuring smile on his lips.

That's even worse.

Jimin can still remember feeling his little crush phase for this man, and literally forget how to act around his presence.

Sure, they have grown somewhat familiar, but it hasn't changed how Jimin feels, unfortunately.

"Don't be embarrassed," Taehyung cooes, tapping a finger to Jimin's nose, "All can be a little curious, right?"

Jimin felt his heart thudding fiercely in his chest, especially when he felt arms wrap around his torso from behind - comforting his fragile heart.

But that didn't make Jimin feel the least bit better.

It just started to play things with his mind.

Things he shouldn't be thinking of.

And being impulsive never worked in his favor.

So he just laid in his back, eyes closed, "Sleep. Jeongguk long trip tomorrow."

The two boys on either side of him didn't say anything, but Jeongguk did snuggled closer to Jimin's body and presses a peck against his collarbone.

"Miss you."

That was an instant defuse to whatever hormonal emotions Jimin was going through at the moment, especially when Taehyung just brings him close to his chest with a peck to his head, using his other hand to softly caress over Jeongguk's soft hair.

"Miss you too bun."

Nothing else was said from there, only leaving them in this silence, comforting silence.

All through the night.

And that was the best way for Jeongguk to spend his last night before his long trip.
