They both held hands, walking slowly towards their home. They both were neighbors, after all.

A smile crept up the smaller's cheeks as he recalled how Jungkook presented a song dedicated to Jimin in front of the whole class today, in the occasion of talent hunting.

"Koo!" Jimin called out, shyness clearly visible by the way he spoke.

Jungkook slowed down, giving him a hum in reply.

"Did you write the song yourself? I had never heard it before, and it was so beautiful!" He blushed hard.

Jungkook giggled, "That song's still in your mind? I'm embarrassed... It didn't turn out that good."

"Oh shut up!" He slapped the taller's chest, still walking, "You dedicated it to me, so I have the right to call it mine! And don't you dare say anything bad about my song," Jimin seemed proud with his so-called bold reply, for his chest heaved up in the air, showing his fake dominance.

The taller laughed hard at his irresistible cuteness, "Yeah, I wrote it myself-" his sentence got cut off by the shrillest squeal by Jimin.

"Really? Oh my god! I knew it! Jungkookie wrote it for me himself! I am blessed," he clapped his hands together, as if he was thanking the universe for the ultimate gift he could receive.

These little actions never failed to make Jungkook happy.

"Koo!" He called again with the same tone as earlier.

"What now?" He smiled.

"Will you teach me how to play the song on guitar, a-and sing as well?" His voice was soft, and definitely adorable.

"But hey," the latter smirked, "Didn't you say that it was your song? So go learn it yourself. Shoo~"

"Yah," Jimin huffed, "You always tease me. But I don't. I am older than you, so you should follow my ethics!"

Jungkook bursed out with laughter, "Says the one who's always acting like a kiddo!"

"I don't act," Jimin pouted, "I am just, born cute you know."

"I know, I know," Jungkook sighed.

"But please, I really want to learn, and duet that song with you," the smaller pleaded with his puppy eyes, which Jungkook could never say no to, "Be my muse, please?"

Jungkook's heartbeat fastened hearing the word 'Muse'. But, he didn't want Jimin to realise that he was shy, so he quickly replied, "Fine then, when do you want to-"

"Now!"

Jungkook's eyes widened, "Now? At this hour? Then how will I get back home?"

"You don't have to," Jimin smiled sheepishly, "you can stay at my home for tonight."

Jungkook stood still, staring at the smaller for a moment. "But, what reason will I give to my parents? It's nine already, and the excuses won't work, I believe," he said.

That's when Jimin giggled, running towards his home which wasn't so far from where they were standing. "I knew Jungkookie would obviously agree! So I already let Mrs Jeon know in the morning that you'll be with me for tonight!"

"Weirdo," Jungkook made a 'done with my life' face, but internally, he was also jumping in happiness. He gets to spend a whole night with Jiminie!

[At Jimin's home]

"So then, you press the C chord," Jungkook said, as he showed him the finger positioning.

Jimin huffed, crossing his arms to his chest, "That's seems hard! Also, is that a minor or major?"

Jungkook sighed. "Major. And, how is that hard? It only requires three fingers," he said, coming closer to Jimin, trying to show him properly.

"So, you put your index finger....." Jungkook continued explaining, but the smaller definitely wasn't focusing on the right thing.

'Damn! His neckline is ducking gorgeous. He's such a muscle bunny! I wonder how cute we both will look together if he carries me with those muscular arms -'

"Jimin?" Jungkook shook the latter's shoulders, his eyes squinting.

"Huh?"

"Were you even listening? I called you so many times?" Jungkook sighed, getting back at his initial position.

Looking at the taller's disappointed expression, Jimin immediately spoke up, "No, no! I-I was listening! I mastered the C chord, totally."

Jungkook gave him a side eye. "Not until you play it. Also, trust me, it's way easier when you try it yourself," he said, handing over the large guitar to Jimin for him to try.

The smaller gulped, taking the guitar in his arms.

'I remember, three fingers! Uhm... but on which string? Oh gosh!' His nervous eyes wandered around, searching for some help.

"First finger, first fret, second string," he repeated, holding the smaller's finger and putting them to the correct position.

Jungkook moved closer again, and now even his breath could be felt near the latter's face. The taller continued, "Second finger, fourth string, second fret," putting his second finger to the correct position as well.

And now... it was finally the turn of the third finger.
It's happening! it's happening!

"And lastly, third finger," he held his middle finger, "it's gonna go to the third fret-"

But suddenly, he stopped. The room went on pin-drop silent for a minute or so.

Jimin looked up nervously, thinking he did something wrong, but...

Jungkook was already staring at the latter's face.

Their noses were just inches apart.

The smaller's breath hitched, "W-what's wrong, Koo?"

"Your finger..."

Jimin got scared.

'Is my finger bleeding, and I can't see it? Am I hurt? Then why ain't I feeling any pain?'

"It's too small," he smiled, almost holding his laughter.

Jimin grew furious. How dare he say something absurd like that about his precious fingers?

"Jungkook!" He slapped the taller's chest again, "they aren't small! Your guitar is just too big for a normal human!"

Jungkook burst out with laughter, "Yes, my love, they're too big for you!"

Jungkook didn't realize what he had just blurted out. But Jimin did, for his eyes widened, 'Love?'

Noticing that the smaller wasn't really laughing with him, he stopped himself from continuing. "Hey?"

"Love?"

That's when it hit Jungkook. Did he really just say it?

"I-I..." He couldn't come up with something. Nervousness was reflected in the way he spoke. He didn't want their bond to break by the matter of love... He just wanted to be with Jimin.

"Calm down," Jimin smiled, putting the guitar aside.

"I don't want our friendship to ruin, Jimin," he explained, his voice breaking a bit.

Jimin pat the taller's back, "Nothing will end between us, Koo. You just tell me," he smiled brighter, "Did you mean it?"

"Mean what? L-like... calling you love?"

"Loving me. Do you actually just admit that you love me?"

Jungkook was contemplating whether he should reveal his true feelings in front of him or not.

Being around Jimin made him feel so comfortable and secure. So, he decided, that he will confess today.

'Nothing will happen. If he doesn't like me back, it's alright.'

"Yes, I love you-"
"Because I actually love you-"

They both confessed at the same moment, lovingly gazing at each other. They giggled together at their silly behavior.

Jungkook sighed in peace, realizing that it wasn't a one-sided love after all.

"Thank you... for loving me," the taller said, kissing the smaller on his forehead out of the blue.

Jimin's breath fastened with the sudden skin contact. He loved every moment of it.

"Don't thank me for loving you, Koo," Jimin stood up, "but you should definitely love me more after I do this," he smirked, leaning in and kissing the taller hard on his lips.

Jungkook's muscular hand swirled towards the smaller's back, embracing him tight as they almost slugged each other's lips.

Their eyes closed. They both were lost in a world where only two people existed.
Jimin, and Jungkook.

Jimin was the one who pulled out first, out of breath.

It was Jungkook who smirked now, "What? Tired already?"

The smaller looked up. His cheeks were flushed red as he said, "It's not like that... you singers just have better breath holding capacity!"

Thank you so much for reading! I love you all to the moon and back 🫶🏻💞
