Pairing: Jungkook x Reader
Word Count: 1482
“Jungkook?” You say shocked, your eyes widen momentarily but quickly regained normal size. “Uh, what about him?” Jimin was eyeing you and you suddenly became very aware about the purple marks etched along your neck, your hands quickly brush your hair in front of your shoulders covering up the hickeys that Jungkook so gladly left on you. You suddenly are very thankful that Jimin didn’t mind the dim lights you had in the bedroom.
Jimin continued to look around the room, his eyes landing on every little thing in your room that may be out of place. You couldn’t help but have your eyes land on the closet door, you knew Jungkook could hear every little thing that you and Jimin will be saying. You also knew that he more than likely was having his ear pressed against the other side of the door, once he heard Jimin speak his name his heart couldn’t help but speed up. You sighed and sat beside your brother, his head and body now turning to face you fully. “Do you like him?”
His words came out in loud boom in your ears, loud and slow but in reality it was all in a whisper. Your breath hitched in your throat and you could sit straight. You let all your weight lean on your arm you had placed down behind you so you were now leaning back but still looking at your brother. “Why would you ask that? I mean he’s my friend Jimin, why?” Your voice came out calm and controlled which you internally thanked yourself for not coming off in a shaky voice. Jimin just shook his head slightly, eyes still trained on you. He was looking at you, analyzing your features and emotions you were letting off.
“Answer me (Y/N), do you like him?”
“Why?”
“(Y/N)-”
“Jimin why!” you interrupted and rose your voice louder than needed but you weren’t liking the third degree you were getting from Jimin. You sighed and pinched the bridge of your nose, you dropped your hand and looked at your brother once again. "Just get on with it Jimin, why’re you asking me about him?”
“I just want to know where your heads at (Y/N). Where are your feelings lying with him?”
“He’s my friend Jimin, we’re close.”
“How close?” His eyebrow raised and his eyes squinted at you.
“You’ve seen how close we get Jimin, are you having a problem with our friendship?” You cross your arms over your chest and you feel the defensiveness urging up. “Honestly I’m feeling bombarded right now so you can either tell me what you’re really in here for or you can get out because I’m tired, I’m really tired and I just want to go to bed now.” You breathed out, attitude evident in your voice but you honestly didn’t care. Jimin was annoying you and you just wanted him to leave. Anger was boiling deep in your system while you stared at your brother, his eyes narrowing at you only seared you with red hot anger.
“What I’m getting at is he likes you and I don’t think I like that.” Jimin admitted, he now mimicked your movements crossing his arms over his chest. You immediately dropped your arms and stood up and began pacing in small lengths in front of him. Your chest heaved up and down in frustration. You didn’t even think about what Jungkook must’ve been feeling, how he felt knowing that his hyung, one of his best friends said he didn’t like the fact that he liked you. He hadn’t even told Jimin of his feelings for you and he already didn’t like it.
It wasn’t a lie that you and Jungkook were close, you were closest with Jungkook besides your brother out of all the boys and everyone knew that, everyone knew that you and Jungkook spent nights in each other’s rooms when the other was too tired or too lazy to walk to their room, you two would also end up falling asleep with each other on the couch in the living room whenever you were watching a movie. You’d recall Jimin saying how cute he thought you two were so it infuriates you that those words he had been saying had to have been a lie. Your brother lied to your face and you couldn’t help but be angry, he also had never been the type of brother to tell his friends not to go anywhere near his sister. So why the sudden change? “So you’re a liar then?” You stopped pacing and stopped in front of him.
“What?” Jimin scoffed at you seeing that you had stopped.
“You’re. A. Liar.” You enunciated each word as you spoke, the frustration evident in your tone. “You never had a problem with how close me and Jungkook are, so tell me Jimin why do you really have a problem with us? Hm? Is it-”
“What do you mean ‘us’? Are you two together?”
“What no-”
“Because I see how close you guys are (Y/N) and I don’t actually like it.”
“Jimin-”
“So you need to answer me. Truthfully and honestly, as your brother I need to know.”
“Can you just-”
“Are you two just friends?”
Those were the words that made your body freeze to the core, your body stiffened and your posture straightened in front of him. Your eyes bored into his while nothing was said. The air around you was now thick with silence that you would usually shudder from, the silence of your bedroom made your blood run cold as the stuffy air in your room surrounded the both of you. There was no sound at all in the room, no ticking of your clock, not vibration from your phone, you actually forgot Jungkook was stuck in the closet for a second. You didn’t even think about what must be going through his head, what he could possibly be thinking about now that he’s heard your brothers’ words, now that he’s been witnessing the argument that has been going on between the two of you, you honestly didn’t want to know what he must’ve been thinking. Not now, not later, you didn’t think you wanted to ever.
There was an absolute stillness. No air stirred from the metal vents. No breaths were heard from each other. Not a sound could be heard either close at hand or from far away. Even your own breath seemed to die away as soon as it left your mouth. It was an eerie sort of tranquility, so instead of being soothed your senses became heightened. You felt like the prey even though no predator could be detected, even though you felt as if Jimin was circling you with his eyes. It was as if the world were encased in a cocoon, a bubble, and there was no way out.
Jimin soon stood up, his height towering over your small frame and you hesitantly took a step back. “(Y/N)-”
“We’re just friends.” You say instantly, interrupting him.
“Just friends?”
“Just friends.”
Jimin’s eyes scan you as if he was trying to detect the lie that came out of your mouth. He was never good at detecting your lies in the first place so you didn’t feel too anxious when the words came out of your mouth. “I think you should go.” You say, voice monotone but underneath it all was frustration, anger & uneasiness. Jimin shook his head, eyes still trained on your face.
“We’re not done talking.”
“I think we are.” You now shake your head and begin to push him out of your room. “You obviously said what needed to be said so please just leave.” You heard him sigh and he soon walked out of the room willingly.
“Just one more thing.” Jimin spun around to face you standing outside of your room now. You just huffed a breath out waving your hand telling him to hurry up. “Do you like him?”
With a push of your hand you slammed the door in his face and just scoffed. You pressed your back to the door listening for the footsteps of your brother, he stayed at your door for more than a minute before you heard him sigh and his footsteps followed. You now let out a little sigh and realized how quiet it really was, so quiet that you honestly weren’t sure that Jungkook was still in the closet.
Pushing yourself off of the door you made your back to the closet and quickly opened the door. Swinging the door open Jungkook quickly left and made his way to your bedroom door. “Hey,” Jungkook ignored you and proceeded to grab the doorknob “Hey stop.” You tugged on his shirt and with a simple movement he spun around and snapped a hold on your wrist. “Jungkook, what’s wro-”
“So I’m just a friend?”
