Love Maze chapter 2
It’s been a long exhausting week since the incident with Jimin in my bed. He’s asked me multiple times what I see our future looking like, what he doesn’t realize is I mean him and me, not the group as a whole. I love this group and I’ll never leave, I see huge things for BTS. I just want to see what’s going to happen between us.
We have tomorrow off as a rest day. It happens sometimes when we have down time from traveling and press events. We just got home and was dropped off at our individual rooms. Standing inside my front door I pause. It’s good to be home yet this place doesn’t feel like home. Try as I might, I miss my moms hectic kitchen, my dad always tinkering with something and my brother always hassling me. They send me things to add to my apartment but always feels cold....except when Jimin visits. He stays two doors down, I ignore the fact that Jin’s apartment is in between ours, like they don’t trust us.
I’ve been unpacking and on the computer all afternoon. Replying to emails from my family and friends. I probably need to stop soon and find something for dinner, probably stay in and make ramen. As I head to my kitchen my phone vibrates in my pocket, I let out a sigh. Please don’t let it be work! I look down in shock as it’s Jimin texting me, “JK, do you have plans tomorrow? Love JM.” I can’t help but smile and lean against the kitchen counter. Out of all the band mates and people he knows he’s asking me? I shouldn’t be surprised this isn’t the first time but it always makes me swell with pride when he picks me. “JM, nope no plans. What do you have in mind? Love JK.” Ending that text makes me pause, love. The word is so harmless, love as a friend, as a brother......but I know it’s neither anymore. Ramen totally forgotten I stand there humming waiting for a reply. The phone dings “JK, I’m going shopping. Want to be my +1? Love JM.” At that my heat skips a beat, that almost sounds like a date! It probably isn’t but I never turn down a moment to be with him, especially alone. “JM, always. I love it when you model clothes for me. Say when and I’ll be ready. Love JK.” As I send it I hope my true meaning comes across.
The rest of the day went by quickly, I finally ate my ramen once the butterflies in my stomach calmed down. I picked out my outfit for tomorrow’s outing with Jimin, then hopped in the shower. I turned the shower on super hot and just stood there for what seemed like forever. I have so much tension and the hot water helps so much, I just started lathering up soap when I thought i heard a sound. Maybe it came from Jin’s apartment, the walls are kinda thin here. I start rubbing down my body with soap when my bathroom door gets a quick knock and then the door flys open. Thank god the shower door is frosted glass or I’d be so embarrassed right now! I am so surprised I start coughing, “there you are! I texted you about the time and you didn’t respond.” Jimin looks ethereal through the frosted glass, I just stare at him in disbelief and then realize, I’m naked!
As I slowly try to cover myself with my hands, even though he can’t really see anything he laughs and hoists himself up on my sink. “Well I was thinking 9? I definitely want to sleep in, maybe have breakfast brought up before we go. Shopping is a must.” He starts rattling off what he has planned and I realize the water is cooling off. “Definitely hit somewhere for dinner before we come back.” He stops and looks at me, tilts his head to the side “why did you stop showering!” I look down half covered in soap and not moving, “I don’t know.” He jumps down and walks to the door, with a hand on the knob he looks back at me “I know your shy Jungkook but your extremely handsome, the fans are not the only ones who’ve noticed the man you’ve become.” With a wicked smile he walks out.
I’ve never taken a shower so fast in my life. I throw on just a pair of clean boxers and grab a clean shirt before throwing my bathroom door open. Please don’t be gone, please. I search my small apartment quickly and find Jimin laying in my bed. The sight makes me whole body tingle suddenly and I push the feelings away. “Woah, that was quick, why?” I drop my head and sigh, I walk towards the bed while tugging on my shirt. When I reach then bed I look down at him, fluffy blonde hair, soft lips, beautiful eyes and smile. I always thought of Jimin as pure and innocent, I always feel like I don’t deserve his friendship.
“I thought I did something wrong and you left.” As I sit Jimin laughs. He slowly shakes his head while looking into my eyes. “Jungkook, I know everyone has their body issues. Not everyone is as comfortable as I am in their own skin. I don’t hold that against you.” I look down at the white T-shirt now clinging to my wet skin and frown. “I just don’t see how this body can effect people the way it does. Plus it makes me uncomfortable to hear ladies scream at me and want to touch me.” Jimin purses his lips together and nods, he suddenly stands up in front of me and lift his shirt up and over his head. “And what do you think of mine?” I tear my shocked eyes away from his sexy body and make myself look at his face, this is so sudden and new that I don’t know what to do. “Well, don’t keep me waiting!” I blink “it’s a great body, you work hard for it.” I say never taking my eye off his face. Jimin rolls his eyes, “same can be said about yours.” I close my eyes, why is this so hard? Why is he pushing me? Does he know what he’s doing?
Suddenly my hand is being lifted off my knee and I feel something hard yet velvety soft under my palm, my eyes fly open to see Jimin has put my hand on this stomach! I flinch, if I take my hand away his feelings might get hurt, i dont want to do that to him. But if I don’t, then what? Is this a line I need to decide to cross. Do I take a leap of faith? I splay my fingers out slowly, that must be conformation enough for him because he asks “what do you truly think of my body?” Im eye level with his stomach and my hand is still against it, I take in a deep breath and pause. “Do I have to? Don’t you already know my thoughts?” His face falls, I’m not sure what I did wrong, maybe i didn’t play this game right. He looks pained. Maybe he thought that was a rejection or maybe he doesn’t want to make me choose. I am young and inexperienced in not only relationships but love.
He moves back a step and I grab his hips, I firmly yet gently force him closer, in between my open legs. The feel of his hip bones under my hands sets my skin a blaze and I have to calm myself. “Jimin, your an angel, every inch of you is perfection. But you already knew that. I shouldn’t have to say it out loud.” He blushes and kisses my forehead “some people want nothing more then to hear just that.” He then slips his shirt back on and lays down on the bed, “it’s getting late” I say as I pull the covers back making Jimin lift his butt up “better get some sleep for this huge day you have planned for us.” His smile grows and hugs me, “you have no idea.”
