Jikook AU twt thread
ππππππ
Jimin has always been proud of the fact that he's Jungkook's favorite Hyung, loved how the younger's attention never strayed too far away from him ever since their debut.
But maybe he does pout a little.
"Jiminie..." Jungkook pleads. He's been trying to get the older's attention for well over five minutes but to no avail. The agile dancer keeps spinning, keeps jumping and whirling from left to right.
Most of the time, he simply forgets about it. He's got a million replacements by now anyway.
"Jimin-ah⦠are you mad?" he tries again, still doing his best to be especially sweet, innocent doe eyes wide open, biting his lips.
Jimin has this habit of not wearing his emotions on the tip of his tongue but all across his face instead.
Still, Jungkook tries not to react to those obvious signs, he knows Jimin doesn't like to be called out for something he can't control, no matter how much he tries to practice it out of his body.
The silence his words left behind was deafening, louder than the blaring, echoing sounds from before.
Now, Jimin still stands at least a finger's width away from him, though he looks just as sweet as he looks up through his lashes, skin sticky with sweat after practicing for hours.
"Think about it, Jungkookie. Why could I be mad, hm?"
Jungkook tries to scan his brain for any hints, he really does, but thinking turns out to be surprisingly hard when Park Jimin puckers his thick plush lips or tilts his head to the side.
God, Jungkook curses under his breath. His hands feel sweaty and he knows he should stop thinking about this. About him.
He can't let it show.
Whirling around, he takes off with Jimin hot on his heels who's yelling for him to hand over his phone or to delete the picture immediately.
"Where is it?" He huffed but the younger only shook his head, bit his lips, looking like the sweetest deer caught in the headlights.
"Jungkook-ah! Give it to me!"Β
Huffing, Jungkook shook his head, gasped for air.Β Β
"N-No, no...I don't have it, I swear!"
In fact, it was more like a warm wave washing over him, a hug in the dark.
"Jiminie�" He asked, unsure what to do when the latter stayed completely still, not saying a word.
Really⦠That unbelievable Hyung of his had fallen asleep on top of him, was snoring quietly even while his soft hair relentlessly tickled Jungkook's sensitive skin and ah⦠He smells good, Jungkook thought, getting sleepy as well.
It was the last thought crossing Jungkook's mind before he drifted towards the magical world of their dreams as well.
When Jimin woke up in the middle of the night, it didn't take long for him to feel around the small space of the bed and realize Jungkook was gone. Of course he was.
It wasn't hard for the other members, only for him.
Even the day before, Jimin had spent hours waiting for him in the practice room.
No matter where he went, as long as Jungkook was there, Jimin felt safe.
It's probably why the current lack of contact hit him especially hard.
He should've known it was there.
Scrolling through all those pictures was more like a trip down memory lane.
And ah, there it was.
Just looking at them hurt in a way that went far beyond the pain of slowly losing a simple friend.
He did want to find Jungkook, wanted to see what keeps him so busy not only during the day but apparently also at night.
Frustrated with himself, Jimin leaned against the cold wall, shook his head in defeat.
He could also look for him on the roof of the dorm where Jungkook often liked to daydream, or maybe the small recording studio Yoongi insisted on having despite them being supposed to rest at home.

With newfound determination, Jimin walked upstairs, up the metal ladder leading to the outside where he was greeted with the strong, cold winds of a chilly autumn night.
Jungkook! He'd recognize his crystal clear, soothing voice from a million miles away!
Out of nowhere, a heavy feeling weighed down on his tight chest, making it so hard to breathe, to catch his breath when he so desperately needed to.
So that's where Jungkook was all night⦠he stayed with Joonie Hyung.
It's exactly how he used to look at Jimin.
"I should've just told himβ¦" he whispered to himself, choking on every single word. "I should've told him that Iβ¦"
There was a scream, someone frantically called his name and thenβ¦
Mind numbing silence.
Ah⦠What is this? Is someone calling him?
The words seemed unrecognizable to Jimin's ears but he did feel the comforting warmth of a familiar hand that held his own, a shudder ran down his spine as distorted screeches turned into sobs and cries, soft words.
"Hyung! You're awake!"
"It's okay, Jiminie Hyungβ¦ You'll be okay, I'm here. I'm so sorryβ¦"
"No but if I was there, I would've made sure you stay in bed. I just didn't think you would wake up in the middle of the night."
It's a shame because Jungkook looked really good like that, more mature in a way that made Jimin's cheeks feel hot.
"Jungkook-ah⦠am I not your favorite Hyung anymore? You can be honest with me, you know. I can take it, I promise."
"I never saw you as my favorite Hyung to begin withβ¦"
"I see. Don't worry, I won't bother y-"
"Uh...huh�"
Jungkook froze, cheeks growing redder with every second that passed and he was still kneeling awkwardly, hands growing sweaty around Jimin's.
When Jimin didn't react but only continued to stare in confusion, Jungkook got up, took whatever bravery he had left and yelled as loud as he could.
The embarrassment was written all over the younger boy's face. He actually ducked his head, covered his face with his hands before replying so quietly, Jimin had to sit up and really listen closely in order to understand.
"Well, what do you think, Jeon Jungkook?"Β
Jimin sighed, shaking his head at how ridiculous the situation was.
If they had just talked earlier, all of his worries could've been wiped away.
No, for now Jimin wants to celebrate to be back home, be with him, his Jungkookie.
Weeks later, they would find each other in the same bed, same position.
"Happy Valentine's day, my favorite Hyung"
