Just One More • POV change • chapter 7 (about types) (Patreon)

Jungkook has talked so much about it with Minwoo. How he should go about it with Jimin.

Truthfully, he’s scared. Whenever something happens between them, Jimin seems down afterwards. Last time they had sex he’d been pushing Jimin, he had been bargaining, and Jimin had said no first, talked about the contract again.

It’s only when he asked for a kiss that Jimin gave into him. So he’s been actively trying not to do something like that again, doesn’t want to overstep Jimin’s boundaries, knows he’s been asking for too much.

It’s difficult though.

He can’t get enough of Jimin. And on top of that, whenever he talks to Minwoo about it, there’s a giddy feeling in his chest. There’s things he shouldn’t be feeling thinking about his best friend.

Minwoo had said to just face the problem head on, ask Jimin if he has any type of feelings for him too. But that’s fucking insane, they don’t even talk about their feelings for each other as friends. Plus, if Jimin doesn’t feel anything, that question sure would fuck up the friendship they have established over the years.

So he needs to be careful about it. Needs to ask something generic. Nothing that could give away he’s talking about Jimin.

One day he gathers enough courage. Jimin is almost asleep next to him, eyes falling closed.

“Do you have a type?”

Jungkook asks, heartbeat already raising.

Jimin’s eyes open instantly, and he looks at him a little bewildered, like he hadn’t expected it at all.

Maybe it’s too obvious?

“In men.”

He specifies, which probably just makes it worse. But he doesn’t know how else to do it. He’s dying to know if Jimin thinks about him like that, if he even sees him that way, if he has any type of chance.

It’s terrifying. Jimin is always so politically correct with his answers, thinks about them long and hard. Maybe this was a bad idea. But then Jimin nods. 

“Do you?”

Oh.

Right, it would be more normal to exchange information than to just ask about Jimin’s type. It’s a little risky though, but Jungkook nods. He’s just gonna have to be vague about it, nothing too specific.

Jimin smiles at him, it looks soft and pretty.

“Tell me.”

Jimin turns his body towards him, giving him all his attention, pretty eyes sparkling. Always knows how to make him shy. Jungkook looks away, can’t handle that.

“Oh, just.. you know..”

You.

You’re my type.

It would be so cool if he dared to say that.

“Are you getting shy?”

Jimin asks, that mocking tone of voice that makes Jungkook feel so embarrassed for even bringing up the topic. Especially when he meets Jimin’s eyes and sees that teasing glint. Usually when Jimin gets like this, it doesn’t go anywhere, so Jungkook just pushes him away, trying not to blush.

Jimin laughs softly, and Jungkook decides to just drop the topic. Should have expected it to go like this. He grabs his phone instead, trying to hide how flustered he is by opening random apps.

“Oh come on, just tell me.”

Jimin says then, shaking him by his arm a little, being annoying. Jungkook doesn’t look away from his phone, needs to look cool and unbothered, but he does want to know Jimin’s type, so he clears his throat.

“You- you- you say it first then.”

Stuttering really doesn’t make him look cool and unbothered. He pretends he can’t see Jimin smiling knowingly.

“Ask me something, that’s easier.”

Jimin says, putting the ball in Jungkook’s court.

He thinks about it, needs something generic, something that doesn’t really give away anything.

“Younger or older?”

He decides to ask. Maybe that’s a bit too generic, but it’s a good starter.

“A little younger. Or around my age.”

Jimin says.

It surprises Jungkook. He hadn’t thought Jimin would like younger guys, given that he’s always the one acting younger. Jungkook just can’t help himself with the next question.

“A little younger? What’s the maximum gap?”

Two years. Say two years.

Jimin looks at him a little caught, pulls the covers up a bit more. Fuck, is he being too obvious? He must look like a hawk right now, fixated on his answer. Jimin averts his gaze, confirming that he’s staring too intently.

“Like.. two to three years?”

Jungkook’s heart makes a little leap when Jimin says it. Knows he shouldn’t be celebrating this, but the thought of having a chance with him is making him feel good.

Jimin turns the question around then.

“What about you? Younger or older?”

“Older.”

Jungkook replies without thinking about it. Maybe he should have given that a little more thought? Oh well. It’s out there now. He’s too excited to learn more about Jimin’s type.

“Taller or shorter?”

He asks.

Jimin thinks about it, meanwhile Jungkook keeps saying taller like a mantra in his mind.

“Taller.”

Jimin answers, making Jungkook’s feet move excitedly under the covers, hopes it goes unnoticed. He thinks about another question, something more specific. But before he can ask, Jimin turns the question around again.

“And you?”

“I like it when I’m taller.”

Didn’t pretend to think about that one either. Fuck, he should work on that.

For some reason, Jimin seems to get more cautious now. Probably also noticing that Jungkook is answering way too fast. Shit, he needs to ask another question quickly before Jimin cuts this conversation short.

“Do you like.. you know.. muscular men? Or-“

“Yeah.”

Jimin nods, doesn’t even let Jungkook finish.

Oh.. so Jimin also has someone in mind then. Someone younger.. taller.. muscular. Jeongguk doesn’t want to get his hopes up, but there’s excitement running through his veins as he looks at Jimin. Almost wants to say that it sounds familiar, but then again, there are many guys like that. He kept the questions generic on purpose.

Maybe if he could just be a little more specific..

“What about tattoos? Piercings?”

Jungkook asks, heartbeat in his throat.

The look of realisation on Jimin’s face makes Jungkook burn up a little. Does he know? Does Jimin know he’s describing himself right now? He waits anxiously, already thinking of excuses to leave.

Jimin’s eyes suddenly dart from his tattooed arm to his pierced ears. He doesn’t know if it’s deliberate until Jimin opens his mouth and says:

“I like them.”

He knows.

Jungkook freezes, unable to determine if Jimin genuinely likes tattoos and piercings, or just said that to let him know that he knows. He can’t really read Jimin’s expression, can’t see if he’s trying to make it obvious that he’s his type, or that he’s found out Jungkook has been talking about himself the past couple of minutes.

“What about you?”

Jimin asks then, breaking the silence.

Jungkook swallows, doesn’t know if it’s dangerous to continue this conversation. He’s flustered, doesn’t know what to say, so he just repeats the things he asked Jimin.

“I.. I like.. muscles yeah.. tattoos, piercings. I like them too, but also.. a little bit.. cute?”

Jungkook looks away with the last word. That was way too obvious, wasn’t it? He calls Jimin cute every chance he gets. Even when Jimin is not there, in interviews or run episodes he mentions that Jimin is cute basically every other minute.

There’s a long silence then, and he just knows he fucked it all up. Exposed himself, and now Jimin feels uncomfortable around him. Jimin has probably put two and two together already, knows that Jungkook is developing feelings he shouldn’t have. That he can’t have.

Should have listened to the fucking contract.

Fuck, this is awkward.

He looks back only to see Jimin stare at him like he’s genuinely in shock.

Shit.

There’s a nervous chuckle that comes out without his consent, and then he turns his head away, can’t bear to see his best friend look at him like that. He needs to get out of here.

“So uh.. I’m gonna go to the studio for a bit.”

He says, cuts off the conversation right there.  

Then he races to get out of there, walls closing in on him as Jimin keeps staring at him. Shit, he really completely fucked it up. When he finally manages to leave his room he breathes a sigh of relief.

Maybe he should just keep his mouth shut from now on and forget about his feelings altogether.
