"Should we really already start drinking now?" You watch Jimin filling the glasses with the red wine, perturbation contorting your face. "Of course. We gotta see if the wine I bought for you is actually delectable." "But I get drunk easily, tho." "I know," he replies, handing you your drink. "But I'll take care of you today." A coquettish grin falls over his lips.

You feel your cheeks heating up. "Fine," you say, accepting the wine. You clink glasses and both take a sip. You savour the taste of it for a moment before swallowing. "Mhm, this actually tastes good" you exclaim, turning to him to see his reaction. He agrees with a nod. "This is really good." You're both in your kitchen while you do the little wine taste test. Soon you'll both be leaving to get dinner with Seulgi. And after that you'll go clubbing with them. You set your glass on the counter before you turn around and open the fridge. "I think I've got some-" you twirl around again to grab open up a drawer but you didn't realise that Jimin got closer to you, making it inevitable not to collide with him. The glass of wine that he has been holding spills all of its liquid on Jimin's pullover and on the floor. You grab his biceps to avoid tripping. Luckily, the glass doesn't fall on the floor. There's just a huge puddle of red wine on the ground. You don't even want to look at Jimin's pullover that got half of the wine splashed on it. "Oh my God," you mumble in shock. Looking at this red stained pullover with a guilty face you say, "Please tell me this was an old pullover that you wouldn't care about never being able to wear again?" "Actually, this was the last thing my grandma gifted me before she passed away." Your eyes widen. "Jimin - I'm...I'm so-" Suddenly he starts laughing and although you're usually totally whipped for his squeaky laughter, you get confused hearing him amused. "Y/n, it's fine. This is just something I bought last week and I'm sure there is a way to get the stain out." "You-...your grandma didn't pass away?" "No, she's all fine. Probably making kimchi while watching the currently airing drama on TV." "Don't you ever scare me like that again." You squint your eyes at him, threatening him with your pointer finger. He just chuckles and you can't stay mad for too long. You look down at the mess on the floor. "I can clean this up," Jimin offers, but you shake your head. "You should change your clothes. I've got some of Jungkook hoodies in my closet. Just open the left door of my closet and they should be in the second drawer." It takes him a second before he starts moving. "I- okay, thank you." You watch him as he leaves the kitchen. You almost turn around to clean the floor, but then you get side tracked by Jimin pulling his pullover off of his body. You only see his back but oh fuck, his back is enough to get your imagination going. As quickly as the imaginations emerge in your mind, they all disappear at once with the sound of the door bell. You know who it is without even having to check. Jungkook has been texting you all day since morning. And all you had responded with was a "thank u <3" and ignored every call of his later on. When you open the door your surprised to find Jungkook standing with his back facing you. "Jungkook?" Abruptly, he whirls around, making Nabi who's strapped against his chest squeal in delight. She has a tiny party hat on her, chubby cheeks looking like little apples the way she smiles. "Happy Birthday!" Jungkook exclaims, his biggest smile on display. You've got two pairs of doe eyes staring at you with so much happiness, it makes your heart drown in love and fondness. You notice the gift in Jungkook's hands, a cuboid shaped present, neatly packed in some wrapping paper. "Thank you," you say. A smile falling over your face as you look at Nabi with that cute hat on her head. "She looks adorable." "You look beautiful as well," Jungkook replies, eyes briefly ogling the short and tight skirt that hugs your curves. He clears his throat. "Okay so, I've got some things planned for today," he begins. "First I wanted to pick out a fancy restaurant with the best food to ever exist but then I realised that you don't like fancy settings and stuff like that, soo I decided that we could stop by at the new burger place? They have a five star Google rating and I think that says a lot." "Jungkook-" "After dinner we could, I

don't know, watch a movie at my place? Get ice cream? Take a walk along the river? Play Uno? It's totally your choice, birthday girl. Oh and we should definitely-" "Jungkook." "Hm?" He stops his long speech about the plans he has for your birthday with the sweetest smile you could ever imagine. "I actually already have plans for tonight." "Oh? Let me hear. But we're definitely going to that burger place. Nabi is so excited to have her first burger in her life." "No, I mean-" you pause, uncertain how to tell him that yes, you've got plans but no, he's not involved in them. "Jimin and Seulgi planned to go clubbing with me today." The boyish grin on his face fades. Jungkook looks like a kicked puppy when the realisation starts hitting him. He can't come with you. His babysitter doesn't work for him today. "We're getting dinner before that, though. You could tag along with us if you'd like?" you try to make the guilt that claws on your skin vanish by asking him that, though you can already sense his answer. "Y/n, I couldn't find-" you turn your head when you hear Jimin's voice next to you, jerking a little at his sudden appearance. "Oh," he stops, taking a look at Jungkook standing at the door. "Didn't know you were here." Jimin greets Jungkook with a genuine smile, but you don't miss the little sparkle of mischief shining in his eyes. And it's only then when you realise that Jimin is - still - shirtless. His etched in stone abs - with deep cuts that you could wash clothes on - are enormously distracting you come to realise when you have to gulp and blink before you can force yourself to shift your gaze back to Jimin's face. Jimin's mouth twitches. He's holding back a grin and you're glad he does, because you're sure you wouldn't survive one of his charming smirks while he is shirtless - his toned upper body all on display. You look back to Jungkook, only to find him already staring at you. He raises his eyebrows as if he wanted to say mind to tell me what's going on? But you're so startled, nothing comes out of your mouth. Jungkook's nostrils flare. He looks Jimin up and down, his jaw twitching. "You're coming with us, Jungkook?" Jimin asks, totally unfazed by the situation. "No, I'm not coming with y'all." He sends a piercing stare Jimin's way before he sets his gaze back to you. "We can hang out tomorrow, right?" Jungkook asks you, despite his cold demeanour, his voice softens when he talks to you. "Sure, yeah, we can do all the things you had planned tomorrow." You nod as you talk, ending your sentence with an encouraging smile. You don't know why he is so huffy all of a sudden - well, it's probably because for years you've spent your birthday with Jungkook and now he has to find out that you're having plans without him on this day - but you try to get him into the mood that he was in two minutes ago. "You should still get your present, tho," Jungkook says, handing you his gift. "Open it when you're alone, please." "Thank you, I will." You weigh it in your hands, curios as to what it might be. "So, you'll be just standing half naked in front of the entrance or...?" Jungkook inquires, his pierced brow raised as he casts a questioning look to Jimin. "Jungkook," you warn, scowling at him. "Don't be rude." "Just asking," Jungkook mumbles. "No, I just wanted to-" Jimin starts explaining, but you cut him off. "No, it's fine, Jimin. Jungkook wanted to leave now anyway, right?" Jungkook narrows his eyes at you. "I guess." "Thanks for stopping by. And thanks for the gift," you say. "Oh, and thank you, too, Nabi." You softly pinch her doughy check, coaxing a bright smile out of her. "See ya tomorrow." "I'll get going then." He manages to force a tight lipped smile on his mouth before he leaves. You close the door, leaning against it with a heavy sigh. Ignoring and storing away all the mixed feelings that float around your body, you ask, "how couldn't you find a hoodie in my closet?" "I dunno, I checked right where you said they'd be, but they weren't." You try not to look

down, but it's inevitable. Your eyes flick down to Jimin's chest and you huff a little annoyed. "Just- don't-" you can't even form a sentence. Jimin smirks. "What?" You look away, feeling the blood rush through your cheeks again. "Nothing." ~ You don't know what time it is when you arrive home. You're drunk and tired and couldn't care less. When you finally change into your pyjamas are ready to tumble into bed you notice the present on your duvet. Jungkook. You totally forgot about his gift. Within a few seconds you grab the present and unwrap it, probably a little too brutal - and maybe a little too excited - than you'd normally need to. You frown when you realise what Jungkook's gift is. It's your favourite fantasy novel. But why would he gift that to you? You already have it at home. In both the paperback and hardcover version. You open the book to see if it's maybe signed by the author but then you stumble across Jungkook's handwriting. On the front page he had written when he had started and finished reading the book. You sit down on your bed. He read your favourite book? That doesn't make sense. He would never pick up a book. No matter how many times you've wanted him to read one of your favourites. But as you flick through the book you see all the little notes he wrote with his black pen on the side of the pages. Sometimes there were sticky notes attached when his thoughts were too long to write next to the paragraphs. It's a thick book as well, so you're stunned to see almost every page marked with his black ink. On the very last page, there is a folded piece of paper attached to it. You unfold it. You didn't expect to see Jungkook writing a full review about the book, but he did. You skim most of the parts, too tired to read through it (and maybe because that way you'd have something worth anticipating for when you wake up the next morning). Your whole body is filled with little butterflies flying around and filling you with so much happiness, you can't help but smile. Jungkook, you think. You sigh contentedly as you slowly let your back hit the mattress while you hold the letter up in the air. A tiny giggle escapes your lips. You can't wait to start rereading your favourite book again, and this time you'd have Jungkook's thoughts scribbled all over the pages with you. Before you fold the letter again and put it back into the book, your eyes land on the last line of his review. I think I'll always love whatever you love, too.
