Jungkook woke up alone the following morning.

He wasn't at all upset about it, after all, he did hear his alarm go off early but it was quickly shut off right after. Before he could even wake up, a palm caressesed his cheek and assured him to go back to bed.

And so Jimin got his things, gave a tender peck to Jungkook's cheek, and left.

So when Jungkook woke up again, it was this time his alarm to get ready, so he wasn't at all upset.

He had no reason to be either way.

That morning he had an early practice at six a.m., so he had to literally force himself to get his shit together - despite how tired he was - to attend practice.

Thankfully they didn't do anything extreme, just running laps most of the time - since apparently this team they're facing soon has killer stamina - so they have to be prepared for that.

The workout did hype Jungkook up a bit, startling him awake from how exhausted he felt.

Attending class that morning felt a bit like a blur. By that point the adrenaline disappeared and he was so fucking tired that it was hard to even keep his eyes open during lectures, and it didn't help to think he has an assignment due tomorrow morning either - so that means tonight he can't afford any distractions.

Meaning Yoongi and his obsessive talks about Jimin.

Speaking of the man, if Jungkook was down bad, Yoongi was far from okay.

The hangover is railing him over like a truck, now being a walking zombie without even talking most of the day.

He didn't even ask Jungkook about last night, likely not remembering it, or even mentioned his outing with Taehyung and Seokjin.

Even though Jungkook was subtly itching to ask him about it.

Maybe later when he's sober and less grumpy.

Now, middle of the day, the two zombie besties are heading towards their last class, the one about trauma, and they're dreading every awakening step in being anywhere near that class.

Don't get them wrong, it's a good class, but it involves so much brain power that they don't have right now.

Hopefully it won't be an intense session today where they'll be forced to think too hard.

"What if I just skip class today?"

Jungkook glances to Yoongi, who has his glasses on with a deep frown on his lips to the clear tiredness he feels.

He didn't even bother with his hair today either, looking like he just rolled out of bed and called it a day.

No doubt he probably did.

"I'm not responsible for your education," Jungkook mutters, holding the door to the hallway and lets Yoongi pass first, "Even though I'm considering skipping too."

"Let's just go. I'll order take out and we can sleep," Yoongi huffs, stopping in his steps now to look at his best friend, "Please."

Jungkook glances to the pout on Yoongi's lips, snickering, "What's this? Don't want to see Jimin anymore?"

Yoongi didn't even react.

Damn he's that bad.

"I think I'm getting over it," Yoongi sighs, yawning a bit, "I'm so tired dude, I feel like-"

"GAME DAY FOR COBRA'S WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL TEAM! LET'S GOO! GET HYPED UP FOR SPIRIT WEEK NEXT WEEK!"

Abruptly Jungkook and Yoongi jolted in their spot, suddenly hearing series of cheers and hollers down the opposite side of the hallway.

It brought so much flashbacks to Jungkook, he's not even kidding.

For a moment he felt like he just teleported to high school.

That's not a good thing.

Jungkook turns his head to where the loud noises were coming from, and suddenly from down the hallway is the boys volleyball team - holding up banners and volleyballs being swung in the air.

With the one leading them wearing an olive green varsity jacket with now blonde hair.

Jungkook's jaw subtly dropped.

No way...

Jimin?

The man who's supposedly his boyfriend is leading the hoard of athletes with a damn bullhorn, a bright smile on his face while jumping around as he hollers over the hype of the game and spirit week. His energy is so contagious that people around him are getting hyped up, even those who aren't in the team.

Jimin, the once shy boy who once adored affection and would get shy when he would do the bare minimum of cute gestures, now is interacting with others openly - using a different volume of voice as though he's speaking through his chest rather than a falsetto of his head

Even his gaze.

His gaze....

Jungkook gulps when Jimin's eyes suddenly met his, feeling some sort of intimidation by his sudden broad smile just as the group moved down the hallway past them, but Jimin grabbed Jungkook by the shirt and yanks him into a kiss.

Now this.

This kiss even felt different.

It's not soft or filled with a tenderness that it used to have when Jimin would kiss him, or that fuel of affection he would pour in a simple peck.

No, this kiss is messy.

It's a bold, hard, and firm kiss that clearly shows it wasn't going to get anywhere, only a kiss that's meant to feel as permanent as the ink in a vintage writing.

A kiss that has fun.

A kiss to have a good time.

A hard and messy kiss.

"Good morning to favorite person," Jimin purrs when he pulls away, his smile so wide and carefree, "Ready for class - I'll catch up with you guys later!"

Yoongi twitches to Jimin's bombarding voice to the rest of the team, who have left but still kept the spirit going even without their captain.

He didn't seem amused.

Meanwhile Jungkook is having a difficult time processing this.... Change. He just can't keep his eyes off Jimin.

He's radiating.

Oozing and pouring with a heightened energy.

Rapid, exhillerating and.... A strong contagious aura.

Jungkook never expected this type of charisma to come from green, only with a first impression, and he doesn't know how to feel about it.

In a good way, as strange as it is.

"Jimin," Yoongi breathes out, eying his whole attire and composure, "Um..... You -"

Jimin glances at Yoongi, giving him a one eye over to him, "Having some decency while I'm with my boyfriend wouldn't hurt," He taunts, still flashing his charming eye smile, wrapping his arm around Jungkook's shoulders, "Don't we have class to get to? We'll be late."

And so Jimin guided Jungkook down the hallway, pinching his cheek before pressing a firm peck to Jungkook's cheek.

And for a moment Jungkook felt his heart skipping a beat.
