...The sky had been clear in the morning....
...Bright....
...Warm....
...Peaceful....
...But by afternoon—...
...Everything changed....
...Dark clouds gathered over Seoul Arts University, and within minutes, rain started pouring heavily....
...Students ran across campus, covering their heads, laughing and screaming as they tried to escape the sudden downpour....
...And right in the middle of it—...
...Park Jimin stood under a small tree....
...…getting soaked....
...“Ah… great…”...
...Jimin looked up at the sky, water dripping from his hair....
...“I forgot my umbrella…”...
...His soft sweater clung slightly to his body, and his shoes were already wet....
...He hugged himself, shivering a little....
...“Why today…”...
...He looked around helplessly....
...Most students had already run off....
...The campus was nearly empty now....
...Jimin sighed....
...“I guess I’ll just run—”...
...“Don’t.”...
...Jimin froze....
...That voice....
...He slowly turned....
...Walking toward him through the rain, completely unfazed, was Jeon Jungkook....
...His hair was slightly damp....
...His expression calm....
...But his eyes—...
...Focused only on Jimin....
...Jimin blinked....
...“Jungkook?”...
...Jungkook stopped in front of him....
...Then frowned....
...“You’re soaked.”...
...Jimin smiled awkwardly....
...“Yeah… I noticed.”...
...Jungkook sighed softly....
...“You didn’t bring an umbrella?”...
...Jimin shook his head....
...“No…”...
...Jungkook stared at him for a moment....
...Then—...
...Without saying anything—...
...He took off his jacket....
...Jimin blinked in surprise....
...“Wait—”...
...Jungkook stepped closer and gently placed it over Jimin’s shoulders....
...The warmth wrapped around him instantly....
...Jimin froze....
...The jacket smelled like Jungkook....
...Clean....
...Warm....
...Comforting....
...Jimin looked up slowly....
...“…you’ll get wet.”...
...Jungkook shrugged....
...“I don’t care.”...
...Jimin’s heart skipped....
...“B-But—”...
...Before he could argue—...
...Jungkook grabbed his wrist....
...“Come on.”...
...“Where?”...
...“My dorm.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...Again....
...“…your solution to everything is your dorm.”...
...Jungkook smirked slightly....
...“It works, doesn’t it?”...
...Jimin couldn’t even argue....
...Because—...
...Jungkook was still holding his wrist....
...And somehow…...
...It felt nice....
...They started walking through the rain together....
...Jimin stayed close....
...Very close....
...Almost pressed to Jungkook’s side....
...Jungkook noticed....
...But said nothing....
...Instead—...
...He adjusted the jacket on Jimin’s shoulders so it covered him better....
...“Stay close.”...
...Jimin looked at him....
...“…I am.”...
...Jungkook nodded slightly....
...“Good.”...
...The rain kept pouring....
...The sound filled the silence between them....
...But it wasn’t awkward....
...It was calm....
...Warm....
...Soft....
...Jimin glanced at Jungkook....
...“Hey.”...
...“What?”...
...“…why did you come?”...
...Jungkook didn’t answer immediately....
...Then he said quietly—...
...“I saw you through the window.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“You were just standing there.”...
...Jungkook glanced at him....
...“…like a lost puppy.”...
...Jimin gasped....
...“I am NOT a puppy!”...
...Jungkook smirked....
...“You looked like one.”...
...Jimin pouted....
...“Rude.”...
...Jungkook chuckled softly....
...And Jimin froze....
...Because—...
...That laugh…...
...It was rare....
...And beautiful....
...Jimin smiled unconsciously....
...“Jungkook.”...
...“What?”...
...“…thank you.”...
...Jungkook looked away slightly....
...“…don’t mention it.”...
...They reached the dorm building....
...Finally....
...Jimin sighed in relief....
...“Warmth…”...
...Jungkook opened the door and pulled him inside quickly....
...The sudden dryness made Jimin shiver....
...“Ah— it’s cold now…”...
...Jungkook frowned....
...“You’re freezing.”...
...Jimin laughed nervously....
...“I’m fine—”...
...“You’re not.”...
...Jungkook grabbed his hand again....
...And led him inside his room....
...Jimin didn’t resist this time....
...Inside the room—...
...Jungkook immediately grabbed a towel and handed it to him....
...“Dry your hair.”...
...Jimin nodded obediently....
...“Okay…”...
...Jungkook then turned and opened his closet....
...Jimin peeked over....
...“What are you doing?”...
...Jungkook pulled out a hoodie....
...And sweatpants....
...Then walked over and placed them in Jimin’s hands....
...“Change.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“…again?”...
...Jungkook raised an eyebrow....
...“You want to stay in wet clothes?”...
...“…no.”...
...“Then change.”...
...Jimin looked down at the clothes....
...Then smiled softly....
...“…you really like giving me your clothes.”...
...Jungkook paused....
...“…you really like taking them.”...
...Jimin giggled....
...“True.”...
...Jungkook pointed toward the bathroom....
...“Go.”...
...Jimin nodded and walked inside....
...A few minutes later—...
...He came out....
...Wearing Jungkook’s oversized hoodie....
...Again....
...And loose sweatpants....
...His hair still slightly damp....
...Jungkook looked up....
...And froze....
...Jimin looked… soft....
...Small....
...Comfortable....
...Like he belonged there....
...Jungkook quickly looked away....
...“…sit.”...
...Jimin obediently sat on the bed....
...Jungkook grabbed another towel....
...Then stood in front of him....
...Jimin blinked....
...“What are you—”...
...“Stay still.”...
...Jungkook gently placed the towel on Jimin’s head....
...Then started drying his hair....
...Slowly....
...Carefully....
...Jimin froze....
...“…Jungkook.”...
...“Hmm?”...
...“…you don’t have to do this.”...
...Jungkook continued anyway....
...“I know.”...
...Jimin’s cheeks turned pink....
...The room felt quiet....
...Warm....
...Too warm....
...Jimin looked down at his hands....
...“…you’re really nice.”...
...Jungkook scoffed softly....
...“I’m not.”...
...“You are.”...
...“I’m not.”...
...“You are.”...
...Jungkook sighed....
...“Only to you.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“…what?”...
...Jungkook froze....
...Realizing what he just said....
...Jimin slowly looked up at him....
...Their eyes met....
...Silence....
...Jungkook cleared his throat quickly and stepped back....
...“Done.”...
...Jimin touched his hair....
...“…thank you.”...
...Jungkook nodded....
...“Stay here until the rain stops.”...
...Jimin smiled....
...“…okay.”...
...A moment passed....
...Then Jimin spoke again....
...“Jungkook.”...
...“What now?”...
...“…can I keep this hoodie too?”...
...Jungkook stared at him....
...Then sighed....
...“…you’re unbelievable.”...
...Jimin grinned brightly....
...“And you like me anyway.”...
...Jungkook looked away....
...But couldn’t hide the small smile forming on his lips....
...“…yeah.”...
...Maybe he did....
...More than he should....
