"good morning," namjoon said, as he walked into the kitchen, seeing jimin pouring himself some cereal, wearing his favorite baggy sweater.

"where's the girl?" jimin asked, weakly, not facing him.

"she left earlier, had to get to work. how'd you know she came here?"

"i just... i heard you guys talking last night... before i fell alseep."

"oh, sorry. hope we didn't keep you up."

"it's fine. you didn't."

"well, good. so what are you doing today? we can hang out, if you're not busy."

"i'm not busy," jimin said.

"you don't work?"

"no, it's saturday."

"right. so what do you wanna do?"

jimin looked up at him and his anger immediately went away. that's the one thing he hated about namjoon; he simply couldn't stay mad at him.

"ugh... n-not sure. whatever you want."

"oh, well i need to grab a few things at the mall. we could shop and grab some lunch, if that sounds good."

"yeah, sound great! i mean... yeah that's cool. just let me run and get ready real quick."

"okay, sure. i'm ready when you are."

jimin grabbed his cereal off the table and headed to change.

-

he got to his room and quickly downed the cereal. he pulled his sweater off and changed into some jeans and a pink shirt.

he looked at himself in the mirror and felt like he looked a little bare. he pulled out his eyeshadow pallet and decided to put some on. he was always scared to wear makeup, unsure of what namjoon would think, so he just put on a little and hoped no one would notice. he put on a light brown color and then went in with a pink shade to act as the blush.

he smiled to himself, loving how he felt with the makeup on.

he headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth, then went out to find namjoon.

"i'm ready," jimin said.

"alright, let's hit it."

-

namjoon and jimin were shopping around the mall, when something caught jimin's eye.

"joonie, look!" jimin said, grabbing at his arm.

"what? you mean the kid getting her ears pierced?"

"yeah! i wanna do it too."

"you wanna get your ears pierced? why?"

"don't you think i'd look good?"

jimin's breath stopped, scared to hear namjoon's response.

"yeah, of course. you look good in everything, but are you sure? it's kind of sudden."

jimin blushed and nodded his head.

"yeah, i really wanna do it."

"alright, then let's go."

-

"it's gonna be fine, jimin. just a little pinch."

"are you sure? i'm scared."

"jimin, there was a little girl in here doing this before you. you're fine."

"i-i know, it's just-"

"here, just hold my hand."

namjoon reached out and grabbed jimin's hand, causing him to flinch.

"just calm down, okay. it'll be over in like five seconds and you'll look great."

jimin had gotten himself so worked up, that he managed to get two of the employees to do his ears, so they would be done at the same time.

"you ready? i'll count down from three," one of the lady's piercing his ears said.

"yeah, i'm ready."

"okay,"

"one."

"two."

"three!"

jimin squeezed namjoon's hand tightly, scrunching up his face. he felt a poke in his ears, but it went away quickly.

he blinked his eyes open, shocked at how easy it was.

"that was it?" he asked, smiling.

"yeah, chim, you did it. and you look amazing."

"r-really?" he asked, smirking.

"yeah, check them out."

namjoon grabbed out his phone camera and held it up for him.

"you look great, sweetie. come over to the counter when your ready and we can ring you up," the worker said.

jimin nodded and stared at his face in the phone camera. he smiled, loving how the earrings looked on him.

"you really think it looks good?" jimin asked, secretly just wanting more compliments from namjoon.

"you look beautiful. don't you like them?"

"y-yeah, i do. thanks."

"no problem. let's go pay."

-

jimin had tried to pay for his ears, but namjoon, being that sweetheart he was, wanted to pay for them.

they were now sitting down, eating some lunch in the mall. namjoon got a burger and fries, while jimin got a milkshake and fries.

"hey, joonie."

"yeah?"

"i have a question."

"shoot."

jimin nervously looked down. he didn't wanna make namjoon feel bad, but he simply couldn't go through another night of hearing namjoon having sex all night with some random girl. his heart couldn't take it.

"i... well... you know how you go on dates a lot?"

"yeah... i guess."

"and... how you bring them around our place a lot..."

"sure. what about it?"

"well... i was thinking. maybe it's time you like... settle down, you know? look for something more long term? someone who really cares about you."

jimin sighed, wishing desperately that it could be him.

"long term? jimin, you know i'm not the type to be tied down to someone. i like to have fun, you know? explore," namjoon had a sick smirk on his face and it made jimin want to vomit.

"y-yeah, but maybe if you tried to find someone, you'd like being in a relationship."

"i guess...,"

"i'll think about it."

jimin just nodded, running his hands though his hair, and trying to look cute as he slurped on his milkshake.

"jimin, you have milkshake on your nose," namjoon said, laughing.

jimin's face turned bright red. he wanted to look good in front of joon, but now he ruined it.

namjoon reached his thumb out and brushed the milkshake off jimin's nose, sucking it off his finger afterwards.

"cutie," he laughed, then went back to eating his burger.

jimin sat there in shock. he felt tingles in his stomach that had never been there before. and it wasn't nerves or anything, this was different. and they had settled in a place that jimin knew they shouldn't. he looked down and noticed a lump in his pants. he knew something was wrong.

he grabbed out his phone and began to search for an explanation.

he didn't find exactly what he was looking for. there were a few different medical conditions that came up, which really concerned him.

"whatcha looking at?" namjoon asked, shoving a fry into his mouth.

"nothing!" jimin said, quickly slamming his phone on the table.

"alright, whatever you say."

-

after a while longer, the boys finished eating. they were walking around and going into a bunch of random stores. one store in particular, though, caught namjoon's eye.

"let's go in here."

"o-okay."

jimin's little problem had mostly disappeared, but he still felt weird about it.

they walked into the store and it was huge. the music was loud, the lighting was dim, and there was a bunch of random stuff scattered around the store.

jimin saw graphic tees, jewelry, magnets, gag gifts, postcards, and a bunch of other random knickknacks.

as he walked deeper into the store, he found a section of things that he wasn't familiar with.

there were different sized boxes, filled with what looked to be some sort of massagers.

"dildos?"

jimin was confused. he didn't understand what anything on the box was saying. he grabbed one off the shelf and tried to read the back, hoping it would explain more.

"whatcha looking at this stuff for?" namjoon asked, smirking.

jimin jumped, being startled by namjoon.

"w-what do you mean?"

"you know... cause you're looking at the sex toys."

jimin was now even more confused. he knew what sex was, but he didn't understand why someone would need a toy while doing it.

jimin held up the dildo in his hands and turned to joon.

"w-what does it do?"

"it's a dildo, jimin. you know? the things girls use when they're horny."

jimin sat there, trying to process what namjoon had said,

"well, guys can use them too, i guess. but-"

"horny? what do you mean?"

"like... turned on."

jimin sat there, still confused.

"do you really not know what any of this-"

"no! no, i know. i was just confused for a second, that's all."

jimin was super innocent, but he never wanted namjoon to figure it out. thankfully, jimin was convinced that he had played it off great.

"alright... sure," namjoon said.

"i need to go to the bathroom real quick,"  jimin said, running off

"wait. meet me at the next store on the left when you're done, okay?"

"okay."

jimin ran to the bathroom, desperate for answers.

-

jimin was sitting in the bathroom stall of the mall, watching porn from his phone.

it all started when he searched up 'horny', which helped jimin learn what had happened to him at lunch. then that lead to sex toys and how they're used. he was watching a guy shove a dildo up his ass and he looked to be really enjoying it. it was starting to make jimin feel the way he had earlier, so he quickly turned off his phone and headed back out to find namjoon.

-

while he was walking to the place namjoon had said to meet him, jimin stopped. it was the store with the sex toys. jimin thought back to how much fun the guy in the video was having. he wanted to have fun too. so without giving it a second thought, he ran back into the store. he looked around to make sure namjoon wasn't there and headed to the back. once again, he was met with the aisles of toys. it was super embarrassing to be in there, so he grabbed the first one that caught his eye. and it just so happened to be a medium sized, pink, vibrating dildo.

he ran to the checkout and threw the box on the counter, faced down, not being able to look at the man behind the counter in the eyes.

"is this all for you today?" the man asked, scanning it.

jimin thought back to the video and remembered the guy had used some sort of gel along with the toy.

jimin saw a row of the same looking stuff right by the checkout. he ran over and grabbed one, then set it down.

the man raised one eyebrow, and looked at the jar, but then quickly went back to scanning the items.

"do you want a bag?"

"n-no thank you."

jimin grabbed his stuff and ran away from the man, embarrassed. he stopped right before the exit and quickly shoved the box into his bag, not wanting namjoon or anyone else to see.

he hurriedly headed to meet namjoon, hoping he didn't take too long.

-

"joonie, sorry i took so long. i was-".

namjoon grabbed him and wrapped his arms around him.

"thank god. i was starting to think you got murdered or kidnapped or something. where were you?"

"sorry, i just got a little lost. i went the wrong way when i was done in the bathroom."

jimin felt awful lying to him, but he couldn't help it. it's not like he could tell him he was watching porn in the bathroom and dildo shopping next door.

"it's fine, don't worry. are you ready to head home, though? i'm kinda tired."

"yeah, i'm kinda tired too."

the two boys headed out to the car and drove home.
