"Ayyy, our little maknae is going to be an adult!!" excitedly exclaimed Jimin as he slapped Jungkook's back very hard.

"Ow, hyungg." whined Jungkook as he pouted.

Jimin squished his cheeks at the cute sight while Jungkook did his bunny smile.

"Might as well have Jimin as the kiss for the ceremony!" joked out Taehyung as Jimin pulled away, both blushing.

The others laughed while Jimin was red. Jungkook smirked but his ears were red.

"The kiss isn't necessary at the adult ceremony!" yelled Jungkook.

"We were just joking, Jungkook! Should've seen Jimin's face. hehe.." joked Hoseok.

"Oh, guys. The choreographer and manager wanted Jimin and Jungkook to do a dance for his coming-of-age." stated Namjoon.

"Yup. We saw, hyung. Me and him will record it in a week. We have a month until Jungkook's birthday when it's posted." said Jimin.

"They also planned us a trip to Manila in a villa. We will arrive there in a week prior of Jungkook's birthday. We will go back in a month to promote our new album, 'Wings'." informed Namjoon.

-----------------------------------

fat

ugly

short

not fit for the group

self-pity

Jimin thinks of himself as this.

Twitter makes all these comments and it's 'true' in Jimin's eyes. No matter how many fans say otherwise, he still can't think about being a disappointment.

'I don't want to let my group down.'

-----------------------------------

"No, hyung. I already ate after practice." said Jimin.

"But, you were practicing all day. Eat some more for energy." said Jin.

"I'm full from earlier. Thanks, hyung. I just can't eat right now." apologized Jimin before going to his room.

Jin sighed as he sat down and ate with everyone else.

"Have any of you guys seen Jimin eat anything? He doesn't eat with us anymore." said Yoongi.

"It's fine. He wouldn't lie to us. But, he is overworking during our vacation." said Namjoon.

"I'll talk to Jimin about it." said Jungkook, worrying about his short hyung. Everyone exchanged glances which Jungkook failed to notice.

-----------------------------------

"Jimin, can I come in?" knocked Jungkook. Jimin opened the door. "Oh, come in."

Jungkook came in without even letting Jimin finish.

"Hyung. Are you eating well?" said a stern Jungkook. "Uh, yes. Of course. Why?"

"Why don't you eat with me anymore? Feed me again?" whined Jungkook, pouting with puppy eyes.

"I-I just don't have time too. I always eat after practice." said a puzzling Jimin, finding excuses.

"Why are you even practicing on vacation!?" a satoori, busan dialect made Jimin shiver. Didn't help the fact that Jungkook stood up and was walking closer to Jimin.

"I don't want to let the group down." Jimin looked down, not wanting to cry.

"You never do, Jiminie. Stop reading those comments. We have a comback soon. We can practice later. I'm turning 19 in two days. I'll be a man soon." at first, stern and powerful but got cheerful later.

Jungkook is caressing Jimin's cheeks and make him look at Jungkook.

"I-I have a hard time remembering the dances." Jimin said, looking everywhere but Jungkook.

"That's hard to believe, Jimin." Jungkook narrowed his eyes to look at Jimin. "Don't you want to enjoy the last days of me being a kid? Hyung, don't you love me?" pleaded a 'sad' Jungkook.

"Oh, nono. I do. I see you as a great friend. I just am busy." said Jimin, not wanting Jungkook to cry. Jungkook engulfed Jimin in a hug.

"As a friend? But...I love you." said Jungkook, nosing at his hyung's neck.

"Um, Jungkook..I shouldn't..You are the maknae. Everyone wants you. I can't have anyone. Nobody will want us. We-" before Jimin could blab any longer, he got cut off by a kiss.

"I'm not just the maknae. I'm the man you deserve." said Jungkook, voice filled with love and..something darker.

"You're still young. I can't take advantage of that." Jimin tried to let go of Jungkook but his waist is being held too close to a certain someone.

"I'm not a kid anymore. I'll show you how much of a man I can be."

-----------------------------------

The next day, Jimin wakes up to see a muscular back. He remembers the events and blushes.

'I dont deserve him. We declared our love but my body isn't as sufficient as his. I need to work to get like him' and then Jungkook turned around.

"Good morning, Jiminie." croaked a deep morning voice Jungkook. He wrapped his arms around Jimin, nuzzling his neck.

"Good morning, Jungkookie." giggled Jimin since it tickled. "Let's go shower."

"Together?" Jungkook said. He's definitely woken up now.

"hehe..sure." teased Jimin before running to his bathroom.

Jungkook soon ran after to catch the door but lost. "Jimin, open this door now!!"

Jimin laughed and started peeing. "Can't hear you."

"Open. The. Door. Before I break it!" said Jungkook.

Jimin got scared and -- after peeing -- he opened the door. Jungkook caged Jimin in his arms.

"Don't ever do that again. Now, let me show you what you get." and they had their time.

-----------------------------------

"Jungkook, what are we?" asked Jimin. He never felt so insecure until now. 'Did Jungkook actually want me until he saw how ugly my body is compared to his?'

"What do you want us to be?" teased Jungkook, wiggling his brows. He was drying his hair until he went behind Jimin and dried his hair.

"I-I want to be, ah-" Jimin gets cut off since Jungkook starts to massage Jimin.

"Friends? Hm??" teased Jungkook.

'oh' thought Jimin. "Um, okay. You shouldn't massage me then." said an ashamed Jimin.

"Oh, baby..I would never fuck you and leave. I love you and showed my love to you. How about we be boyfriends?" said Jungkook.

Jimin started to cry happy tears even if they tears were there before.

"Yes! I love you!!"

"I love you too, baby."

-----------------------------------

'This dance is tiring. Its been hours but it's not perfect! I'm letting the group down.' thought Jimin.

Jimin stayed after their practice for their new comeback. He still needs to work on his parts and vocals too.

His stomach started to growl. Oh..

No. I need to do this right. I need to lose weight anyways. I want to match Jungkook's godly figure and ARMY's standards.

Maybe going to the gym isn't so bad.

Suddenly, Jimin got dizzy and fell onto the ground.

'I'm fine. Let me just drink some water.'

-----------------------------------

"Jimin!!" yelled Jungkook. His hyung passed out during their shoot for 'Blood, Sweat, and Tears'.

They all rushed Jimin to the hospital with Jimin held in Jungkook's arms the whole time.

Jimin had to get IV drips and only one visitor was allowed. Jungkook begged to stay.

The doctor came during the time they all were waiting and said Jimin has been exhausting himself.

"He overworks his body and doesn't eat enough or rest his body for energy." said the doctor. Jungkook understood the situation and decided to leave.

Yoongi stayed with Jimin but this event has changed Jikook.

-----------------------------------

"Hyung, what the fuck!?" yelled Jungkook.

"I'm sorry.." cried Jimin.

"You did this to yourself! We were doing so well but you decide to hurt my Jimin!!" yelled an even more angrier Jungkook, mad that Jimin isn't even giving a reason why.

"I-I couldn't let you guys down. ARMY w-was telling me t-to," Jimin gave out a sob before continuing, "not be just a leech, a-and not-"

"Those are not ARMY! You can't harm yourself. I love your everything. It doesn't matter what they say!" pleased Jungkook, holding back angry tears.

Jimin continued to sob.

"I love you but you can't keep doing this." and Jungkook left the room.

-----------------------------------

'What's happening with Jikook?'

'Manila incident'

'Details on the fight between Jungkook and Jimin'

"You need to resolve anything that happened with you and Jimin. It's affecting ARMY and Jimin." calmly said Namjoon to Jungkook.

"Nope. I won't until he gets rid of that diet. He cares for that over me." stubbornly said Jungkook.

"Listen. It's making Jimin's condition worse. Fix this before something bad happens." said Namjoon and he left the room.

'I'm not doing nothing.' thought Jungkook before he got into deep-thought. 'But, he need you, Jungkook. Didn't you tell him that you are the man he deserves? Act like it. Go to him before it's too late.'

Jungkook's gut feeling says to comfort Jimin or else...?

Jungkook ran to Jimin's room. 'We have a concert soon. He can't keep-'

"Jimin!!"

-----------------------------------

Jimin heard a sob next to his bed. This isn't his bed though.

"H-hyung. Please...wake up" cried a hysterical Jungkook. Jimin's heart broke at that.

"J-jungkook?" croaked Jimin. "Jimin-sshi!!" celebrated Jungkook as he bear-hugged Jimin.

The doctor came in to tell Jimin about his prescription and to rest and stuff Jimin didn't pay attention to. Jungkook took note of it for his 'plan'.

Soon, the doctor left to give them privacy.

"Jimin..I'm not going to eat anymore..I will follow your diet and routine." said Jungkook.

"No, Jungkook. You can't.." pleaded Jimin but Jungkook is stubborn..so is Jimin. "It'll be hard for you. You love food."

"I want you to love food too."

-----------------------------------

"Jungkook, come on. Eat something. This is your favorite." pleaded Jimin.

"Not until you eat yours first." "Fine." pouted Jimin.

Jimin started to take a small bite and Jungkook took a smal bite.

Jungkook followed Jimin's eating patterns and stayed with him 24/7. Excerises, dance practices, even vocal training.

"Here, have some banana milk." as Jungkook fed Jimin some then took a sip.

Jimin smiled as Jungkook doesn't really share his banana milk.

-----------------------------------

Jimin started to eat healthier -- and all three meals.

Thanks to Jungkook.

Jimin thinks he doesn't deserve Jungkook but Jungkook always supports him and erases his insecurities.

Jimin is still sensitive about himself, but, as long as he is with Jungkook, nothing matters.

-----------------------------------

Jungkook and Jimin continue to be a couple. Jikook was a thing again. That was until..
