He refuses to go and sit down with Jungkook. That would feel much too intimate and wrong. So.
He stands awkwardly in the corner of his own kitchen, half-watching the grainy game show on TV whilst frowning into his ramen. He could sit at the kitchen table but he hasn't used it since Taehyung was here. It just feels ridiculously stupid sitting there alone.
Standing it is, then.
They don't say anything to each other.
Lights from the apartment building across the road fill the space, as well as blaring lights from cars driving past. He wants to nag at Jungkook for not closing the curtains but he doesn't want to speak to him, so once he's finished his pathetic dinner and washed up the bowl, he marches over to close the curtains himself.
He has to step past the sofa and he's so focused on getting it over and done with that he trips over a fallen cushion on the floor.
"S-shit," he gasps, heart stopping as his balance completely fails him.
But Jungkook catches him with one arm and pulls him to safety on the sofa at his side, so precise and easy that Jimin doesn't even really know what's happened until it's happened and he can feel the imprint of Jungkook's arm around his waist. He's up-close - too close - and Jimin can see the lightest browns in his eyes.
Jungkook gives a long-suffering sigh and pushes Jimin away, no longer touching him. He looks massively inconvenient as he returns to his TV. "So fucking clumsy," he mumbles underneath his breath.
Jimin's heart thumps against his chest and his eyes are wide, panic gradually leaving his body. "Um," he says, willing his heart to calm down, desperately searching for something awful to say. Something awful to say.
"Don't touch me." It comes out soft.
Jungkook doesn't look surprised, but he does scowl at Jimin. "I won't," he promises, "Just watch where the fuck you're going."
The next day when Jimin takes his long shower, he doesn't hear Jungkook scowl. He comes out and carefully peeks into Jungkook's room only to find it empty. He must have left early today. Jimin pushes his thoughts out and decides to enjoy this day because from tomorrow he has to work with the devil.
Jungkook leaves the apartment before Jimin does. He starts his motorcycle and makes his way towards Kims, the restaurant, it's on the top floor and the entire building owned by the company. He parks his vehicle and enters the building, going straight to the sixth floor.
He enters the legal office of Kims and a view of a bunch of papers and frantically working people greets him. He sighs seeing the familiar place and walks towards the last room.
"Hyung" he says as he opens the door,
"Jungkook-ah, come" he smiles and waves him to come inside,
Jungkook has been in this same office many times, every time he wants to rant about something or did something stupid and needs advice, he invites himself over and talks his heart out with his Hyung. He enters the room and hops on to the side table instead of taking the chair,
"Hyung can you stop working for a second and look at me"
"What did you do?"
"I took a job at the cafe"
"...and ?"
"I moved in with him"
"What?"
"Hyung... wait, it's not like that. He hates me and trust me the feeling is mutual" Jungkook clarifies quickly,
"Does he know ?"
Jungkook nods "No"
"I am not having a good feeling about it, Jungkook-ah. If he knows you went behind his back, it won't end well."
"It's not my choice Hyung, I had to do something. Did you expect me to sit quietly?" he says fidgeting with his buttons,
"I hope you know what you are doing" the other man says, "and how's your new apartment"
Jungkook sighs, "honestly the apartment is good but Jimin, ugh, I can feel the hate in his eyes,"
"Do you blame him after the things you did ? Honestly I am kind of surprised that he accepted you to move in"
"I am pretty sure he is planning my murder. You know he smiles at everything except me. I swear he turns into a small sized devil when he sees me"
"Do you want him to smile for you ?"
"Eww No" Jungkook dramatically shudders, "I mean-"
"I don't have time to listen to you complain about your secret crush Jungkook" he says getting up, "I have court and Hyung wants to meet me for lunch later"
Jungkook jumps down the table, "You are meeting him today?"
"Don't worry I won't tell him anything. Don't do anything stupid"
"I won't. Trust me Hobi Hyung" Jungkook makes a big heart with his hands over his head making Hobi laugh.
They both walk down, Jungkook bids goodbye and walks towards his bike, Don't do anything stupid, the words ring in his mind like a warning bell, as he thinks of Jimin.
