...The rain didn’t stop....
...Not even after an hour....
...And somehow—...
...Park Jimin was still in Jeon Jungkook’s room....
...Still wearing his hoodie....
...Still sitting on his bed....
...Jimin stretched slightly and looked toward the window....
...“It’s still raining…”...
...Jungkook, sitting at his desk, hummed....
...“Looks like you’re stuck here.”...
...Jimin smiled softly....
...“…I don’t mind.”...
...Jungkook paused for a second....
...Then quickly looked back at his notebook....
...“…good.”...
...A small silence filled the room again....
...Comfortable....
...Warm....
...Jimin glanced around....
...His eyes landed on Jungkook’s books....
...Stacks of them....
...Neat....
...Organized....
...“Wow…”...
...Jimin stood up and walked closer....
...“You actually study.”...
...Jungkook raised an eyebrow....
...“…unlike you?”...
...Jimin gasped....
...“I study!”...
...“When?”...
...“Sometimes!”...
...Jungkook chuckled....
...“Sit.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“Why?”...
...Jungkook tapped the empty chair beside him....
...“I’ll help you.”...
...Jimin tilted his head....
...“…you’re offering to tutor me?”...
...Jungkook shrugged....
...“You need it.”...
...Jimin pouted....
...“Rude.”...
...But he still sat down beside him....
...Close....
...Very close....
...Their shoulders brushed lightly....
...Jimin tried to focus on the notebook Jungkook placed in front of him....
...Tried....
...“Okay,” Jungkook said, leaning slightly closer, “solve this.”...
...Jimin stared at the problem....
...Then at Jungkook....
...Then back at the problem....
...“…I don’t get it.”...
...Jungkook sighed....
...“Of course you don’t.”...
...“HEY!”...
...Jungkook smirked....
...“Watch.”...
...He leaned even closer....
...One hand resting on the table....
...The other pointing at the notebook....
...His voice dropped slightly....
...Soft....
...Focused....
...“Start from here…”...
...Jimin tried to listen....
...Really....
...But—...
...Jungkook was too close....
...His arm brushed against Jimin’s....
...His shoulder pressed lightly against his....
...And his voice—...
...It was too calm....
...Too warm....
...Jimin swallowed....
...“…Jungkook.”...
...“What?”...
...“…you’re very close.”...
...Jungkook didn’t move....
...“I know.”...
...Jimin froze....
...“…then move?”...
...“No.”...
...Jimin’s heart skipped....
...“Why?”...
...Jungkook glanced at him....
...“…because you’ll get distracted again.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“I’m already distracted!”...
...Jungkook smirked....
...“Then focus.”...
...Jimin huffed....
...“Mean.”...
...But he tried again....
...And somehow—...
...With Jungkook explaining—...
...It started making sense....
...“Oh!”...
...Jimin smiled brightly....
...“I get it now!”...
...Jungkook looked at him....
...And for a second—...
...He forgot everything....
...Jimin’s eyes were sparkling....
...His smile wide....
...And he was still wearing Jungkook’s hoodie....
...Jungkook looked away quickly....
...“…good.”...
...They continued studying....
...Slowly....
...Quietly....
...Time passed....
...The rain kept falling outside....
...And little by little—...
...Jimin’s energy faded....
...“…Jungkook.”...
...“Hmm?”...
...“I’m sleepy…”...
...Jungkook glanced at him....
...“Already?”...
...Jimin nodded, rubbing his eyes....
...“You made me use my brain.”...
...Jungkook snorted....
...“That’s new.”...
...Jimin glared weakly....
...“You’re annoying…”...
...Jungkook shook his head....
...“Sleep then.”...
...Jimin blinked....
...“…here?”...
...Jungkook shrugged....
...“You’re not walking back in the rain.”...
...Jimin smiled softly....
...“…okay.”...
...He shifted slightly on the bed....
...Then slowly lay down....
...Pulling the blanket over himself....
...Jungkook watched him quietly....
...Jimin looked small again....
...Curled up slightly....
...Comfortable....
...Safe....
...Jungkook turned back to his notes....
...But after a few minutes—...
...He heard soft breathing....
...He glanced back....
...Jimin was already asleep....
...Jungkook sighed softly....
...“…that was fast.”...
...He stood up....
...Walked closer....
...And adjusted the blanket over Jimin properly....
...“Idiot…”...
...Jimin stirred slightly....
...“…Jungkook…”...
...Jungkook froze....
...“…yeah?”...
...But Jimin didn’t reply....
...He was still asleep....
...Jungkook smiled faintly....
...Then sat beside him....
...Just for a moment....
...Just to rest....
...But—...
...Jimin suddenly moved....
...Without waking up—...
...He shifted closer....
...And grabbed Jungkook’s sleeve....
...“…don’t go…”...
...Jungkook froze completely....
...His heart skipped....
...“Jimin…”...
...Jimin murmured softly in his sleep....
...“…stay…”...
...Jungkook stared at him....
...Then slowly…...
...Carefully…...
...He lay down beside him....
...Just for a minute....
...Just until Jimin let go....
...That’s what he told himself....
...But Jimin didn’t let go....
...Instead—...
...He moved even closer....
...Resting his head lightly against Jungkook’s shoulder....
...Jungkook stiffened....
...“…Jimin.”...
...No response....
...Jimin was fully asleep....
...Jungkook hesitated....
...Then slowly relaxed....
...“…just for a bit.”...
...He whispered....
...The room was quiet....
...The rain soft outside....
...Jimin’s breathing steady....
...And Jungkook—...
...Couldn’t stop looking at him....
...“…you’re dangerous.”...
...He murmured softly....
...Jimin shifted again....
...His hand now lightly gripping Jungkook’s shirt....
...As if afraid he’d disappear....
...Jungkook’s chest tightened....
...Then slowly—...
...He placed his arm around Jimin....
...Carefully....
...Gently....
...Pulling him just a little closer....
...“…stay like this.”...
...He whispered....
...Even though Jimin couldn’t hear him....
...And for the first time—...
...Jungkook didn’t feel restless....
...Didn’t feel annoyed....
...Didn’t feel confused....
...He just felt…...
...Calm....
...Warm....
...Right....
...As if Jimin belonged there....
...In his arms....
...---...
...The rain finally stopped....
...But neither of them moved....
...---...
...Jimin woke up slowly....
...Warm....
...Comfortable....
...Too comfortable....
...He blinked....
...Then froze....
...He was lying on something solid....
...Something warm....
...His eyes slowly looked up....
...And—...
...“…JUNGKOOK?!”...
...Jungkook groaned softly, still half asleep....
...“…why are you yelling…”...
...Jimin sat up immediately....
...Face red....
...“WHY AM I ON YOU?!”...
...Jungkook opened one eye....
...Looked at him....
...Then closed it again....
...“…you hugged me first.”...
...“I DID NOT!”...
...“You did.”...
...Jimin covered his face....
...“This is so embarrassing…”...
...Jungkook smirked slightly....
...“…you didn’t seem embarrassed while sleeping.”...
...Jimin glared....
...“Shut up!”...
...Jungkook chuckled....
...And for once—...
...Jimin didn’t argue....
...Because deep inside—...
...He didn’t hate it....
...Not at all....
