Chapter 24: The light of a Binary star
Both of them stood together in the bathroom; exchanging nothing but silent smiles and soft blushes that tinted their face like the bright star at the center of the solar system. They were shirtless in front of each other and this was the first time Jimin met eyes with Jungkook's body before him. Jimin noted every firm bump of his muscle, his strong and popping veins to his frame, along with the the younger's hair was thrown back; always exposing his forehand to the older.
Jimin and Jungkook both stood in place until, Jungkook shook the thoughts he had of Jimin, away from his own mind. He had his eyes locked onto Jimin's body and then to his eyes; giving him such a dominant and possessive stare. It was something he never expected from himself, something of a view like this, made Jungkook just want to have the older. As always, he held back, remembering Namjoon’s words like before. Touching Jimin now or kissing him, will confuse the weak man. So, it took everything in Jungkook to then clear his throat.
“I'll be in the living room. Once you're done here, meet me outside, Jimin.” Jungkook said and with that, the boy stepped aside and walked off. Leaving Jimin to exhale and guide his eyes to follow with the boy’s movements. Jimin felt his own heart beat at that moment once he glided his eyes down Jungkook's muscular figure. Jimin was jealous Lee-Young had so much good things in her life, including Jungkook's love. Jimin thought it wasn't fair that they were at break and Lee-Young only brushed the boy aside after a fight they had between each other.
“If Mr. Jeon had me, I wouldn't want to hurt him.” Jimin thought and looked up at the mirror to gawk at his own body with just his underwear on, the robe off his elbows, and on the ground. “I would love him with all I have. I would never want to fight with him… I'd talk our issues out, not give it time. Love shouldn't have any breaks and if she knew that, she would have just talked it out with the one she loves. Can't it be that I want Mr. Jeon more than her? I want Jungkook too… Only difference between her and me is that… She's a beautiful girl… I'm just a cute, weak, man to him. There's nothing special in me but my smarts.”
Jimin let out a sharp sigh and took off his underwear before entering the shower with a different crutch Jungkook placed inside for Jimin. Not really needing Jungkook to help him in the shower at all. After Jimin showered, he walked out of the bathroom with his white bathrobe and used his crutches to make it into his own room. The man was silent and he could hear Jungkook listening to music just outside the room. Again, it was the usual symphony movements to Cello or Piano pieces. Then, reaching indie at the end of the playlist. Listening to the indie songs Jungkook played, threw Jimin back to last night where the moon was at its highest. The romantic song played and Jimin only focused on the stars, unaware that Jungkook was looking at him the whole time. Of course, knowing that Jungkook locked his attention at Jimin the whole night, would only leave Jimin confused. Just the way Namjoon mentioned before.
The weak man then threw on a light-red, sleeved, shirt, black tights -to workout in- and his white house slides as always. Jimin then stepped out of his own room and the music on the stereo became so clear for him to hear now. It was another romantic indie song and Jimin only stopped for a second to smile as he then moved his crutch forward to see Jungkook.

Even if Jimin still had issues with walking and was limping everyday, Jungkook still wanted Jimin to try and exercise anyways. Jungkook just never wanted to give up on the older like this and that was the many things Jimin found perfect in the younger.
Jimin met with Jungkook at the living room where the younger was wearing a loose, dark blue, sweater hoodie that had words ‘Love' written along the sides of the sleeves and the same, loose, grey bottoms and matching socks tucked under his black slides. “Again… with the soft… indie music?”
“Don't tell me you don't like it, Jimin. It's a beautiful song and I realized soft music could help you adjust.” Jungkook insisted, rolling up the sleeves of his sweater to expose his firm arms. The boy then stuffed his hands into his pockets before stepping towards Jimin; smiling at him and locking his eyes onto the older before him.
“I like… it…” Jimin whispered and smiled at the boy before him. “I see that...you set…up the mat...for me to...workout.”
“Yes. Let's get started right now so you can have time to eat something.”
“So no eating...until after…?”
“No. Please lay down and we can get started.” Jungkook spoke into a soft chuckle as Jimin dropped onto the couch. Making Jungkook's face light up and walk forward with his hands out extended to the older. “Come here, you're such a lazy Mochi~” Jungkook commented. Walking up to the older, and pulling him up to lay him down on the blue mat over the floor of the living room. Jimin was now blushing on the ground as Jungkook checked through his phone and sat in front of Jimin on his knees.
“Mochi…” Jimin repeated into a whisper as his face tinted red like roses, red like cherries and ornaments over a Christmas tree. Jimin adored the name as he was swept into a galaxy where the name was the only thing that filled his ears. Just then, Jungkook quickly gripped onto Jimin's ankles and extended the left out against the mat while the other was folded and backed up against the weak man's chest. “A-ah… Ah… M-Mr… Mr. Jeon…” Jimin whimpered at the pain his legs had once Jungkook pressed Jimin's knee back against his chest softly.
“Stop whimpering, you need to get your legs intact.” Jungkook whispered to the older and made Jimin huff right after. “Endure it…”
“Mm-” Jimin softly let out cries as Jungkook extended Jimin's right leg out onto the mat. “M-Mr. Jeon… It hurts…”
“You never tried to stretch your leg out, haven't you? Ah… That's okay. Don't worry, it'll be over soon. Try to sleep.” Jungkook whispered and folded the left leg back, making Jimin grit his teeth and press his head back. “Sorry.. I think I did that too fast.”
“A-Ah… S-Stop… Mr. Jeon..” Jimin let out a slightly louder sentence than his usual whisper, but Jungkook only continued to stretch Jimin's leg cautiously. “S-Slow… Slowly..”
“I'll be gentle..” Jungkook promised as Jimin then opened his eyes to meet with Jungkook's assuring grin that never faded away. The boy was towering over him where his hips were pressed against the underside of Jimin's hips. Just the feeling made Jimin want to keep going, but this bittersweet feeling felt wrong through the way the older viewed this. It was just an innocent workout, but Jimin looked too deep into it.
“Jungkook…” Jimin huffed as he pressed his hands against the sides of the mat and clenched his eyes shut. It was only the pain in his legs that caused him to whimper and Jungkook tried to do it softly, but the older still had issues with building strength in his legs.
“Okay… Put your feet against the mat with your knees bent outwards.” Jungkook instructructed as Jimin hesitated to comply. He followed Jungkook's commands and focused his gaze upwards towards the ceiling. “There…” Jungkook whispered and crouched next to Jimin and positioned Jimin's torso arched upwards like a bridge. “Hold it up then you rest on the mat once again. Do ten of it.” Jungkook ordered as Jimin struggled to arch his hips forward.
“I-I… I can't…” Jimin whispered as Jungkook chuckled once more and rested his hand over Jimin's abdomen and his other hand under Jimin's lower back to help him simulate the exercise. “M-mh… Jungkook… I don't.. want to… do this anymore..” Jimin whispered as Jungkook slowly moved Jimin's hips up and back down against the mat.
“Come on, Jimin. Don't give up. As long as you do these, you'll have strength in no time.” Jungkook promised as Jimin couldn't help but to grow whipped at the feeling of Jungkook’s soft hand resting over his abdomen gently. After the ten, Jungkook removed his hands from the man and sat in front of Jimin once more; sitting with his knees pressed forward against Jimin's underside while his hips met with his. “Need a break?” Jungkook questioned and by there, Jimin finally nodded. “Ah, I'll get you a bottle of water. Only because you have issues moving your legs.” Insisted the young astronomer before getting up and walking off to give Jimin his bottle of water during his break.
Jimin laid there listening to the song and panting as his focus was locked onto the ceiling. “I hate this…” Jimin thought in his head as Jungkook walked into the kitchen to retrieve a bottle of water for Jimin. He tried his best to knock off the way he held Jimin down and heard his soft whimpers and begs. It made Jungkook want to stop for a second and close his eyes to reminisce those bittersweet moments he shared with Jimin.
“No…” Jungkook told himself and tossed those deep thoughts away like nothing. Just thinking of that made him feel disgusted of himself to see Jimin that way. Even if he was tempted, he realized that he never felt that way towards Lee-Young before. Not even the urge to kiss her before they began to date. It was something he only received from Jimin and it made him grow silent; even inside his own universe within his head.
“Jimin.” Jungkook called out as he looked at Jimin still panting against the mat. “Come on, Mochi… Sit up. I'll give you a break.”
“Jungkook… breathing… Is so hard for me… to adjust to…” Jimin whispered as Jungkook smiled and dropped right in front of the older to set the water bottle right by the mat. “Help…”
“Of course I will.” Jungkook whispered. Sitting the man up to rest his back against the couch cushions while he still sat on the mat. “This is harder than I thought it would be. I also have to be gentle with you since you also have to adjust to breathing without taking pauses in between your sentences.”
“I'm… sorry…” Apologized the frail man and by there, Jungkook moved in closer to uncap Jimin's bottle of water.
“Don't apologize… You didn't hurt me at all.” Whispered the boy and helped Jimin drink out of the bottle. At that very moment, his eyes fell onto Jimin's throat that moved each time Jimin drank from the bottle. It made Jungkook grow whipped for a split second until he pulled the bottle down and allowed Jimin to take in a grasp of breath. After that, Jimin looked into Jungkook’s eyes in silence. It was like the music at the stereo was the only thing that could be heard between the two now.
“I can see it all… His eyes display pools of honey and caramel… But the gleam tells the story of the different binary stars meeting and merging into one. Could it be that we came together underneath the pool of the moonlight and formed star clusters; lighting the way to our future?” Jungkook thought in his head. Picturing a universe filled with stars in it when he was with Jimin and the only planet that they stood on was the yellow planet in his dreams. “Yes, I see it now.” Jungkook spoke in his head and rose his hand to softly caress the side of Jimin's face and leaned in so hesitantly.
This was it, Jungkook knew what he was doing and found that his feelings were planted at this very spot; right where Jimin sat. “Jungkook…” Jimin whispered and blushed at this unrealistic moment. Their hearts began to best at the feeling and Jungkook slowly cupped Jimin's face with both hands calmly.
“Shh…. Don't you say another thing, Jimin…” Jungkook whispered. By now, their noses were in contact and eyes closing slowly. Even if this will lead into something bad or good, Jungkook wasn't afraid anymore. Jimin felt the soft and gentle breathing they shared until their lips almost touched. Suddenly, that moment was cut short as a hollow knock echoed onto the wooden front door. Making Jungkook open his eyes; ruining the moment for the two.
“I'll… answer it.” Jungkook whispered and pulled away from Jimin's grasp to go answer the door. Jimin breathed heavily and kept his eyes wide against the ground. His face was red and the moment left him breathless. He wanted the kiss as much as Jungkook, but the timing wasn't good enough to last just then. The light between the binary star died out once Jungkook pulled away and broke their contact together at that very moment. Making Jimin realize that a close contact like that, was just another unattainable dream to him now.
