Chapter 2 - Mochi

Just a quick disclaimer, I'll try to upload the chapters regularly, but because I have a stressful job, I can't guarantee it. So I usually sit and write for hours on my days off. 

Jungkook POV 

The room was spinning! Jungkook has been laughing about the most ridiculous things this past hour, goggling one drink after another. He laughed when Jin told the same Dad-joke for the hundredth time or when Namjoon knocked over his beer bottle and it all landed on Hoseok's hundred dollar Jeans. 

He was about to grab another shot of Soju when Jimin slapped his hands away. He turned surprised. Jungkook couldn't remember when Jimin had come over. "Hyung!", he said, aware that he was slurring a little. "How are feeling, Kookie?" Jimin asked with a sparkle in his eyes and an amused smile on his lips.Jungkook smiled back, swinging a little in his direction. "I feel great!" he announced proudly.  

Jimin bopped his nose and grinned even wider. "You are fucking cute when your drunk!" Jimin half-whispered to him. 

The others at the table were too caught up in their conversations to pay attention to them. For some reason, Jimin's comment made Jungkook mad, and he didn't even know why. "Don't say stuff like that!" 

Jimin looked properly surprised for a second, but then waved it off. "Why not? I'm just teasing you!"

"But I'm not cute! You are. And that's very annoying, do you know that? You shouldn't be allowed to be cute! Or sexy! Or anything!" He knew he was blabbering nonsense, but the alcohol made his mouth loose and turned his head into mushed potatoes. 

Jimin was starring at him open-mouthed. 

"What did you just say?"

Jungkook didn't know what came over him, but he leaned forward and got really close to Jimin's face. He didn't know if Jimin was red from the alcohol or because he was blushing. For a moment, Jungkook felt like the room and everyone in it disappeared. There was only Jimin and him. His eyes dipped down to those lips again, wondering if they felt as soft as they looked. Jimin seemed frozen as he looked at Jungkook like he was seeing him for the first time. 

Then Jungkook's fizzy mind made it back to reality. He grinned broadly,  letting out a chuckle. 

"I'm just teasing you hyung!" he let out triumphantly, feeling like the funniest person on the planet and laughing at Jimin's dumbfounded expression. 

"Whatever" he heard the other boy whisper as he already got up and walked away. 

Jungkook looked after him confused. Had he said something wrong? Was he mad that he was drunk? Jimin took as eat next to Taehyung, who had long forgotten about the longing for his dog and was laughing about something Yoongi had said. 

Jimin didn't look back at Jungkook. 

There was a sinking feeling in his stomach. He and Jimin rarely fought, but he knew that when Jimin was mad, he was big time mad- like 'go look for cover and hide' kind of mad. 

The thought didn't sit well with him, so he took the drink Jimin had stopped him from drinking and let the alcohol make him forget. 

Jimin POV 

Jungkook was drunk. 

Like really, really drunk. 

Namjoon and him were doing their best to get the giant to his feet, while Jungkook was laughing red- faced at them, struggling out of their grip like a slippery snake. 

"JK! We need to go home, it's super late and we have an interview tomorrow evening." Namjoon tried, but their maknae just smiled, holding up both thumbs as if to say: great, whatever. 

Jimin looked over to the others for help, but immediately knew he wasn't going to get any. Hoseok looked positively lost, holding a very drunk Jin to his right and a half passed out Yonngi to his other, while Taehyung was on the floor, trying to tie his shoes with little success. 

Great! 

Jimin turned to Namjoon. "Go help Hoseok with the others and get them too the car. I'll convince this one here to stand up." 

Namjoon looked like he wanted to protest, but then Taehyung let out a frustrated yell and their leader turned to him with an eye roll that looked both exhausted and fond. "I'll come back as soon as they are in the van!" he added as he was already walking over to the others. 

In the meantime, Jungkook had found a left-over piece of mochi and was looking at it with a smile while squezzing it repeatedly. 

Then he looked up through glazed over eyes and grinned like a fool. "Look, ChimChim! It looks like you! So squeeezzzyy!" 

Jimin could only stare at his younger band member, as he broke out into a hysterical laugh which accidently let the mochi to be crushed under his fist. 

Now he looked sad, holding the squashed mochi in his hands. "Now my mochi is broken! I broke it! " he said with a quivering voice. 

Jimin sighed. 

He hated seeing any of his members sad, and it was always his first instinct to comfort them, even though Jungkook was being ridiculous. 

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that he Namjoon and Hoseok had finally managed to get the other three out of the door, leaving him alone with the giant, drunk baby. 

He sat down next to Jungkook on the bench and ruffled his hair. He loved doing that. 

"Don't worry JK, I'll buy you a new Mochi tomorrow. A whole pack if you want."Jungkook looked up at him but shook his head. 

"I don't want another mochi! I want this one!" 

Jimin couldn't help but laugh at Jungkook's theatrics, but his laugh quickly died when Jungkook suddenly leaned forward. The same way he had earlier. 

And even though Jimin knew he was drunk and not himself, he enjoyed it way too much. Something that Jungkook could never know. 

"I want one that doesn't break so easily!" Jungkook murmured, looking down at Jimin's lips. He was too close, those big, doe eyes of his making him feel all tingly and excited. He was even close enough for Jimin to see the scar on his left cheek clearly. 

Gathering all his willpower, Jimin pushed Jungkook back, noticing too much how considerably Jungkook had put on muscles these last couple of weeks. 

"We should go Jungkook, it's late." 

Jungkook shook his head while pouting. "No! It's my birthday, I don't want to go yet. I want my present!"

Jimin laughed at Jungkooks funny expression but tapped on his wrist watch. "Technically, it's not your birthday anymore, it's already 2 AM. And you already got presents. Don't be so greedy!" 

He ruffled Jungkook's hair again, but this time, the other boy stopped him, taking his wrist prisoner. When he looked back at Jungkook's face, he looked like someone who just discovered a new and rare species, his mouth slightly opened, his eyes huge. 

Jimin tried to free his hands from his grip, but he was too strong. When did that happen?A few moths ago he would still win against Jungkook in a fight, but now? 

"Jungkook, please. We really need to go."

His response was a shake of his head. "I want my present."

Jimin sighed. " You already got it."

"Not the one I want." 

Confused, Jimin blinked at Jungkook, before he was suddenly pulled forward with more force than he expected and he crashed into Jungkook's hard chest. 

He heard the other's boy beat fast beneath his ear as he looked up carefully. Jungkook's eyes were hooded. Clearly he was drunk.

Jimin should pull away, make him stand up and get him to bed. That would be something a good Hyung would do. 

But he didn't. 

He didn't do anything as Jungkook starred at him stargazed and lifted a hand. Gently, as if he was afraid to break Jimin, he put a finger over his bottom lip, tracing it's outline.

Jimin's heart stopped in his chest. He wasn't sure he was breathing. 

"Mhh. Smooth." Jungkook murmured and Jimin knew he should pull away. Sober Jungkook would never do that. Sober Jungkook saw him as nothing but an older,  sometimes annoying brother. 

 "JK, we should-" he started but was stopped as Jungkook suddenly lowered his head and brought his lips to Jimin's. 

Jimin knew that Jungkook had never kissed anyone. Jungkook clearly didn't know what to do as he pressed their lips together, holding Jimin in place with a hand behind his head. 

Slowly, Jungkook pulled away, his eyes huge, as if he was surprised of what he did. 

So was Jimin- more than just a little. 

Suddenly, Jungkook narrowed his eyes and put a hand over his mouth. 

At first, Jimin thought Jungkook already regretted what he did, but then he spoke through his hands: "I think I gotta puke." 

And with that he turned away from Jimin and hurled his guts out.
