Chapter 27: A high tide
One week later, the two were still holding such a close bond like before. Only now, they did everything together, but haven't kissed like their first time. That was saved until they were finally official. However, along the way Jungkook did have his worries when it came to Lee-Young. The woman hasn't called ever since the week before and Jungkook felt like it would be wrong to go off and kiss Jimin when the younger was still in a relationship with Choi Lee-Young. Jungkook just couldn't do that to Jimin and make his new boyfriend-to-be feel used in any way.
Of course, Jimin was going to be Jungkook's first boyfriend and the young boy only wanted to have Jimin as soon as his other feelings with Lee-Young died out. So far, he felt horrible about the thought of leaving her after two years and one side of him still wanted her; just a smaller part of it was left of course since the rest of Jungkook's heart had Jimin written all over it. It was just like the stars outside this earth aligned and pointed Jungkook towards Jimin. All his heart and soul went for Jimin except that small percent that still wanted Lee-Young even after Jimin. This was the hardest part of saying goodbye to someone he has seen for two years. Someone so close like that seemed far now as Jimin only fell in closer. By there, a perfect love story was told beyond the constellations far above.
It was the dawn of another week. By now, Jungkook has had some progress with his interest; Jimin was able to speak a little louder and his sentences seemed less broken compared to before. They of course, kept their hands to themselves and avoided the kisses they would long to give each other followed after their first kiss. They only wanted to kiss when they would be together officially and Jimin allowed it. The older felt as if his heart for Jungkook grew bigger along the days they spent together. Not only, Jimin was getting better, but his relationship with Jungkook was getting closer.
It was by morning, Jungkook woke up to see Jimin facing him on his own bed. Together, they slept in Jimin's room every night together and eventually, Jimin found the stars as beautiful as he used to see them before. All with the help of the boy who began to fall for him.
“Good morning, Mochi…” Jungkook whispered and softly caressed Jimin's hair back until the older woke up. “Are you happy to see me every morning?” Jungkook whispered and held Jimin's hands with his in the bright morning.
“Ah, you're so talkative in… the morning.” Jimin whispered and smiled at his caretaker. The tone to his whispers was gone and Jungkook was able to hear Jimin's normal and soft voice. It was as calm as a harp being played right by a calm lake. It was the perfect melody Jungkook heard from Jimin and he couldn't deny any smile that appeared over his own face. “I'm so happy to wake up… and see you.”
“You're so flirty.” Jungkook spoke and sat up, being able to speak in his normal tone as well. “Mochi, there will be a storm today. I don't want the thunder hurting your ears so, I want you to wear some headphones that block out all those sounds. When I need to talk to you, I'll take them off just to tell you. I don't want your sensitive ears getting damaged especially after so far you've progressed from silent whispers.” Jungkook mentioned and stood up from the bed to stretch. “I still need you to get used to being in public once again. Think you can handle that, Mochi?”
“I can try, Mr. Jeon.”
“Good. Let's start getting ready to go to the grocery store. If anything goes wrong, tell me, Jimin. I don't want you to get scared. Just hold onto my hand and we'll get through it, I promise.” Assured the boy. Even if Jimin hasn't ever stepped foot out the house once he arrived, he was quite nervous to step out and have the news reporters go after him like before. It's been a few weeks after that and Jimin knew it must have calmed down, right?
“I'm actually… very nervous about this. I don't know if we should. What's wrong with… ordering groceries?” Jimin suggested, but Jungkook only chuckled and shook his head after.
“No, you need to get used to it. Tell me whenever you've had enough and I'll take you back here.” Jungkook mentioned as he then began to look through Jimin's cabinets. “I'll let you take the noise cancelling headphones in case it gets too loud for you out there.”
“Thank you, Mr. Jeon.” Jimin replied and looked down before placing his and over his throat. “My voice, it's coming back… to me.”
“I guess all that talking every night really helped with your sentences as well. You'll be better in no time. I know I say that a lot, but I can see it now.” Jungkook insisted as he then walked up to Jimin and pulled him out of the bed.
“I-I can walk a little better, Mr. Jeon. I don't… need help. I need to learn… on my own.” Jimin insisted as Jungkook then tilted his head and gave Jimin a back hug. “Mr. Jeon… You'll make me fall!”
“I want you to appreciate me more, got it?” Jungkook demanded into a tease as Jimin grew silent. “I'm kidding, Mochi!” Chuckled the boy and then, he rested his head over Jimin's shoulder. “Let's make something together like every other day.”
“Is it… okay if we can bake cookies together? I think I can have some sweetness here and there. I know I'm supposed to be eating healthy by now...but I just want to eat something other than…vegetables for once.” Jimin requested nervously and sat down on the bed after to then look up at Jungkook. “Can I?”
“Ah… How could I say no to you, Jimin? Fine, you just can't have any junk food until a good three days. I remember your father telling me that you can easily get sick over anything if your health isn't up.”
“With chocolate c-chips in them?” Jimin asked as Jungkook stated to laugh. He dropped his hands down to cup Jimin's face into his own hands and look into his eyes happily after.
“Anything for the cute, little, Mochi.” Promised the astronomer before pulling Jimin back up and letting the older walk. Jimin limped to the bathroom as Jungkook walked in with him to help the older with anything else. Together, they were stuck to each other every single second of any day of the week. Jungkook was just like a satellite to Jimin's earth like always.
After a good few minutes into their morning routine, Jungkook pressed Jimin back against the floor of the bedroom where the older was wearing his workout tights and a loose shirt over the mat as Jungkook only wore his tank top and a loose sweatpants. This became Jimin's morning routine and most of it was Jungkook laying with the older to help stretch his legs and give him proper exercise. Even if this was to help the older with his strength in his legs, Jimin began to hate going through the pain that would always last a good five minutes before reappearing in the morning to keep him sore.
“O-Oh! Oh, Mr. Jeon! N-Not… Not too hard, please..” Jimin whimpered and covered his mouth once Jungkook held Jimin's hips up and moved them forward to form the bridge position once again. “A-Ah… n-not too hard…”
“Don't be like that I'm doing this for your own good. You know you can't be walking around without a good warm-up. “You'll be able to walk if you put your pain and constant whimpers aside.” Jungkook teased and stretched Jimin's left ankle out and made Jimin arch his body forward from the pain he tried to die down at that moment. “You'll grow numb to this pain.”
“N-Nmh.. Oh let's stop!” Jimin begged, but Jungkook shook his head and only leaned his body in against Jimin's while testing out his flexibility. “M-Mr. Jeon!”
“Why is it always a fight with you?~ My little Mochi can be fiesty some times.”
“Your little Moch- A-Ah!” Jimin panted as he looked down to see Jungkook's hands still fixed over the sides of Jimin's hips so gently. “Mmh…”
“Perfect…” Jungkook breathed and glided his eyes down Jimin's chest and down to his crotch area. Alas, Jungkook did question about many things that seemed further away than it usually would. He knew it was too soon to think about it, but he was thinking of Jimin's body. He hasn't seen all of Jimin's exposed body, but recently, Jungkook was interested in seeing it all. He was ready to explore his own universe and see many things with Jimin. He didn't know how much things worked between them, but Jungkook wasn't afraid and that didn't scare him off once. Jimin was his everything now and he wanted what was right for Jimin and of course, hide the fact of how curious he was to see Jimin naked before him. It was too soon, but yet again, Jungkook's mind only wandered around at times.
Even after the workout, Jungkook closed his eyes to think of Jimin laying on the mat before him and allowing his caretaker to touch his body for the workout. Thoughts like these drove Jungkook insane, but he was only human. Eventually the two then got ready to finally leave the house. Jungkook wore a black coat over his white T-shirt, blue ripped jeans and yellow timberlands. As for Jimin; the older man wore a loose, yellow, oversized, sweater and black pants with white shoes to walk out in. Together, they began to walk out to the grocery store close by and didn't really need transportation. Along the way, Jimin held the headphones in his hands and tilted it to the side as he continued to observe it. He walked with Jungkook's arm around his shoulder like always and placed the headphones around his neck so he could slip it on easily in case of anything.
“Mr. Jeon, don't you have a… car?”
“Car… Huh, I remember buying one to give Lee-Young. I had a car at the time and she loved cars but couldn't afford one. So, I gave her one and she was happy to accept it. Originally, it was mine but the girl was so loving and kind back then, I had to. Could you blame me?” Jungkook asked and chuckled with Jimin underneath his arms as they walked along the path to the grocery store. “Besides, we're almost there!” Announced the younger to the weak man.
Once the two arrived after, Jimin was on Jungkook's back as the younger had to carry Jimin. Jimin still had issues with walking and at times, it took too much energy to try. So, Jungkook walked into the grocery store, not caring if elders looked at him to judge the two. Jungkook was happy and didn't care about what others began to think about when they looked at the duo. The boy always seemed to block everyone out of his life and only have his eyes for Jimin and that was it. No one else but Park Jimin.
“Mr. Jeon… put me down, people are staring at me.” Jimin whispered to Jungkook's ears and this made Jungkook stop as soon as he had a cart to carry the groceries in. “I-I… don't like the attention, Mr. Jeon.”
“Ah, alright.” Jungkook replied softly and set the man down to grab onto the cart and walk with it like crutches. “See anything you like, Jimin? Anything you want to eat tonight other than chocolate chip cookies?” The boy chuckled and threw his arm around Jimin while his other hand helped Jimin push the cart.
“I want ice cream… but I can only side with one sweet today. Ugh, I feel… like a child. I feel so stupid..”
“Don't say that about yourself, Jimin. You're not a child or stupid. You're my stupid child!” Laughed Jungkook at his own teasing jokes and made Jimin giggle and cheer up almost instantly. “Don't worry. Once you're better, I'll buy you all the ice cream you could ever want.” Insisted the flirty and gleeful boy as they looked into each other's eyes to smile once more in sync. “Everything for you, Jimin.”
Unexpectedly, Jimin brought his attention forward and suddenly stopped his cart once his eyes met with someone in front of him. “Jungkook…” Spoke the familiar voice to the boy until Jungkook finally looked forward to see that it was Lee-Young standing before them. There she was, wearing her beige and loose, buttoned up sweater, denim shorts, and an eggshell color to her laced up shoes. At that moment Jungkook grew silent and Jimin began to feel that, not only a flood of emotions rushing it's way towards Jungkook, but a high tide between the two that went into break from each other for quite a while now. Whatever it was now, Jimin just hoped Jungkook wouldn't make a huge scene about it and make the older grow crazy from it. That was the last thing Jimin wanted now, to see Lee-Young before his own eyes.
