"Hyung, is Jimin hyung mad at me?" Maybe Jungkook was being dramatic but he couldn't help but worry, he loved the friendship he had with his hyung and he didn't want anything to sabotage that.

"What? Why would you say that, Kookie?" Namjoon dodged the question he didn't actually know the answer to. He didn't want to worry Jungkook because he wasn't sure what was even wrong with Jimin, and at the same time he couldn't disregard Jimin's feelings and tell Jungkook that it was probably nothing.

"I don't think he wants to talk to me. I heard the door being opened as soon as I walked away, so I guess he doesn't want to see me."

And maybe Jungkook got a little jealous from the vmin friendship, because who wouldn't. These two were soulmates, and he wanted to have someone in his life to rely on and vent to. Sure he was close with Jimin too, but not as much as Jimin was to Taehyung. the pair had something Jungkook and Jimin didn't.

Or that was what he told himself he was jealous about anyway.

"Well, I don't know to be honest. Lets just wait for him to come out and you can try to talk to him." Namjoon adviced, still trying not to open that door of possibilities, cause why would Jimin freak out from a kiss and an accidental one at that?

Jungkook nodded, not saying anything else, and going to his room, he needed to think. He still hasn't processed what happened.

Jimin hyung kissed me.

Jimin hyung kissed me on the lips.

My favourite hyung just kissed me!

And now he was freaking out even more. Things are going to be awkward between them now, and he didn't want to be the cause of such a vibe in the group. It might ruin their whole dynamic.

He needed to talk to Jimin.

"No it won't!" Exclaimed Taehyung. "You can't possibly think something as silly as tha-" Jimin shot him a look "Sorry not silly, something as simple as a kiss by accident would ruin our dynamic, you have got to be kidding me!" Taehyung was getting frustrated already. Jimin was being unreasonable; jumping to conclusions, when literally he could just walk out of the room, say he was just embarrassed and act as if nothing had happened.

But that was Jimin, he overreacted over the simplest things. Taehyung sighed.

"Tae." Jimin whined covering his face with his tiny chubby hands "Jungkook probably hated it right? He must be feeling so grossed out. Oh my god. I can't believe that just happened! What the fuck am I gonna do, Tae?! I can't lose the only thing I have with Jungkook! Our friendship is ruined now right?! What do I do!" Jimin rambled, all in one big breath, a short example of how he was freaking out ever since that accident happened, and Taehyung hadn't been able to calm the short blonde down.

"Nothing. You're gonna do nothing. It's totally normal to be embarrassed about something like that. I would be embarrassed too of course, so we're just gonna focus on that. Just forget the part about Jungkook being your secret crush, and focus on the fact that you accidentally kissed your friend, and how it's gonna be something to think about and cringe at for the rest of your life. Now! How does that sound!" Taehyung exclaimed getting excited about finding a logical solution to the whole situation.

"So I should pretend to be embarrassed and ashamed and probably grossed out too? No Tae I'm not, so I'm not gonna act that way. I actually liked the kiss why would I act grossed out from something I liked doing?" Jimin's intuition told him not to do that, and just to admit his feelings for the younger. Even if he got rejected, at least it would get him closure, and he would try to move on. That's much better than crushing on someone in secret for years and years. Yeah. That sounds about right. Jimin told himself.

"Jimin-ah I don't think you can do anything other than that, without risking everything." Taehyung said quietly, and oh shit Jimin didn't think that far ahead, an innocent not meant to happen kiss is much better than confessing to your team member and having them reject you, and making them and probably the whole team too uncomfortable. If he actually confessed to Jungkook, and he rejected him, that might cause some drama in the band.

That can't happen.

Jimin just stared ahead, focusing on the blank screen of the TV. "Okay." He mumbled. "Just not today, I'll act like nothing happened tomorrow at breakfast. That sounds like a more natural thing to do." He reasoned, he had a feeling if he went out of the room, Jungkook would be right there, and he was scared of facing the younger; having been rejected by him so many times, he didn't feel like doing it today; didn't wanna see the rejection in his eyes without him even saying anything. He couldn't even hang out with him now like they usually did without feeling awkward. "Can I sleep here tonight? I don't wanna sleep alone to be honest."

He wasn't being honest but he didn't want to admit to Taehyung that he was scared of the short trip to his room in case he bumped into Jungkook, or even worse; Jungkook coming to his room to 'talk'.

"Yeah, you liar. Whatever." Taehyung teased, reaching over to turn the lights off, as said before, Jimin couldn't lie to Taehyung, he read him like an open book.

Meanwhile Jimin's feeling was spot on.

The youngest was sitting on the floor of the hall outside the room, waiting for Jimin to come out, not listening in or anything, but just waiting, and when he saw the lights being turned off from the reflection of the marble floors he huffed, getting slightly angry by the fact that Jimin was willing to talk to Taehyung but not to him, and maybe also about the fact that the two are probably sleeping together right now, but he didn't realise that bit, at least not yet. Getting up from his sitting position, he stormed off to his room, closing the door behind him with another huff.

Jimin didn't get a wink of sleep that night. He had calmed down at some point in the night, only not enough to fall asleep, but at least he got his feelings in control. He could see now how he was overreacting, because a simple kiss can't possibly change everything.

But it already had.

Jungkook couldn't sleep either.

He had opened a door of many possibilities that he couldn't just close now. He started to entertain the idea of him and Jimin being a couple and he couldn't stop thinking about it. It was innocent at first and many people did it anyways. He did that thing where you imagine being together with one of your friends and most of the time you just say ew and go on with your day, right?

Except that wasn't the case for him.

He didn't notice how the mere idea of him being with Jimin drew a small smile on his face, and just then he got an idea. Their fans did this thing where they shipped the members with eachother, and he tried to remember his and Jimin's ship name, and when he couldn't he just typed Jimin and Jungkook on YouTube and he found a huge amount of video edits, "oh, Jikook. Yeah, that's it." He read.

He clicked on a video that read How Jimin looks at Jungkook.

And that was how he began his Jikook marathon. After watching the first video he got a weird feeling in his stomach; he hadn't noticed Jimin looked at him like that. He tried convincing himself that it was the music in the video or the editing that made him almost believe there was something there when there wasn't, keyword tried.

They were just friends of course, close ones at that. Okay, maybe Jimin treated him a little differently than the rest; with the constant hugs and eye smiles and a little amount of innocent flirting. their friendship was special.

Different from Jimin's friendship with Taehyung though.

The ravenette groaned. His thoughts were getting him no where.

By the second video, he was starting to enjoy this. This one was named: 'Jungkook is Jimin's favourite' and that video put a bunny smile on the youngest's face.

Of course I am.

Next thing he knew, his watch history was filled with Jikook videos, and it was morning already, so he went to his bathroom to wash up, and then went to make breakfast for his team members.

One by one each boy sat down at the kitchen isle, still not fully awake. Jimin was the last one to walk into the kitchen. "Morning guys." Jimin mumbled, bags under his eyes from lack of sleep and obsessive overthinking.

"Morning, Jimin-ssi." Jungkook hadn't noticed he called him that almost all the time, until he watched a compilation of it during his Jikook marathon, but now he said it on purpose, because he also noticed how Jimin always smiled or laughed when he did, and he loved Jimin's eye smile, who wouldn't.

The short blonde stopped and stared at the youngest for two seconds too long, and the whole kitchen felt so tense during these two seconds. They were used to Jimin going over to the younger messing with him, hugging him sometimes or just clinging to him until he was finished with making breakfast.

That's why when Jimin gave Jungkook his eye smile, it made the youngest's mouth break into that bunny smile of his, and the rest of the team members release the breath they didn't know they were holding. "Morning, Kookie." Jungkook almost melted, but no one had to know.

"Jimin-ah, what's with your face? didn't you get enough sleep?" Hoseok observed looking at the bags under Jimin's eyes, and now he had to come up with an excuse as to why he hadn't slept and it can't be because of the kiss.

Think Think Think.

"Ah, hyung I stayed up reading, that book was a page turner." Hoseok hummed and nodded.

Nice save. Was what Taehyung thought, he had felt Jimin tossing and turning all night, of course he wasn't able to sleep after what had happened.

"Oh! Jungkook did you pull an all nighter too? You look like you haven't slept." Jin said, trying to connect the dots, with the accident kiss yesterday and the pair not sleeping, something was up. He just knew.

"Yeah I stayed up on YouTube, you know when that happens." Jungkook answered automatically with the truth. He just didn't say exactly what he was watching.

"What were you watching?" Now jungkook tensed, 'I should have lied.' He had his back to his hyungs, still flipping the pancakes. Unaware of a certain brunette reaching for his phone and opening YouTube.

"Jikook videos?" Squealed Hoseok, accidentally exposing Jungkook's secret Jikook marathon, and Jimin almost snapped his neck.

Jungkook too.

"Uhhh- Umm- Yeah I got curious. Army were freaking out yesterday about th- " He stopped.

Oh god don't make it awkward don't make it awkward.

"Uhh- The live. Yeah." He stuttered, reaching over and grabbing his phone from his hyung.

"That's a lot of videos for just being curious." Hoseok mumbled, Jimin being the only one to hear it, his eyes going wide.

Why would Jungkook be watching ship videos of them?

And now Jimin had a lot to think about that night too. He could wave goodbye to sleep now.

"So what's the plan for today?" Taehyung saved, looking at Namjoon, and the leader understood that look 'change the subject' so he slightly nodded and started to list off what they had to do, reading from the schedule on his phone, the other members paying attention to their leader, and forgetting about Jikook for now.

All of them except the pair themselves.
