Brother's Best Friend (Jikook)
1
Namjoon
you don't wanna be late, do you?
Jimin
just making sure i have everything.
Namjoon
okay, come down soon.
Jimin grabs his suitcases and takes one last look at his room.
he was of course happy that he was finally able attend the college of his dream but he was also sad that he had to leave his home town and his family behind.
Jimin's brother, Namjoon, had told him that he didn't have to worry and that he would take care of their mother whilst he was away but he still felt bad for going so far away especially while their mom was really sick right now.
Jimin sighs and takes a last look around to see if he was forgetting anything before he closes the door and heads downstairs.
Namjoon
look who finally decided it was time to come down.
Jimin rolls his eyes and smile.
Namjoon
Did you sleep well?
Namjoon watches Jimin with a concerned expression.
Jimin
i was thinking, What if i just don't go to college.
Jimin
that way i could always be here to help mom.
Namjoon
Jimin, we've talked about this.
Jimin
I know it's just....
Namjoon
i know you feel like you're abandoning mom but it's not like that, she wants you to go and i want you to go because it's what you want. Isn't it?
Jimin's mom
you are going to that college, okay?
Jimin
mom, what are you doing out of bed?
Jimin's mom
Did you expect me to not come and say goodbye to my son?
Jimin
no, it's not that. i would've come to you.
Jimin's mom
I'm fine, now come give me a hug.
Jimin smiles and walks up to his mother giving her a warm tight hug, but not too tight as he was afraid of hurting her.
Jimin's mom
Don't worry about me Jimin, Namjoonie here will take good care of me when he can, isn't that right?
Namjoon
Yes, of course. and whenever I'm not here the doctor will be here to watch over you.
Namjoon
Jimin everything will be okay, you just need to focus on your studies.
Jimin smiles at Namjoon and his mom before he pulls away from his mom's hug.
Namjoon
now let's get going.
Namjoon
Mom, the doctor will take care of you while I'm gone, okay?
Jimin's mom
Yes yes, i know. I'll see you when you get back.
Namjoon takes one of Jimin's suitcase.
Namjoon
see you later, mom
Jimin
who's driving us there?
Namjoon
yes, and don't look at me like that. I just asked him because he's a friend.
Jimin
Yes, totally not because you have a crush on him.
Jimin
you should tell him how you feel.
Jimin
I'm sure he feels the same way. He's driving us all the way to the college so he has to like you too.
Namjoon
Jimin i don't like Jackson and He doesn't like me.
Namjoon
Here he comes so shush about it.
Jimin
i bet by the time i get back you two are together.
Namjoon nudges Jimin in the side as Jackson drives into their driveway.
Jackson
Hey guys, you ready?
Jimin
Yup, I'll put the suitcases in the trunk.
Jimin winks at Namjoon before he grabs both his suitcase and starts heading for Jackson's car trunk.Namjoon just rolls his eyes and smiles as he turns to Jackson.
Jackson
So little guy's finally going off to college
Namjoon
Yeah, seems like he was just going to preschool just yesterday.
Jackson
i thought you would've went along with him knowing the protective brother you are.
Namjoon
No, i can't go with him.
Namjoon
Which is i asked my bestfriend who also goes to that college to watch over him for me.
Jackson
Did you tell Jimin?
Namjoon
Nope, I'll tell him when we get there
Jackson
you know they can't stand each other, right?
Namjoon
yes, but Jungkook's my bestfriend. I know he won't let anything happen Jimin even if they don't like each other.
Jackson
well that's true. he's a good friend.
Namjoon
we should get going.
Jackson
Yeah, it's a long drive.
Jackson
come on college kid, we gotta go.
Jimin laughs and gets in the back seat as Namjoon sits in the passenger seat and Jackson goes to the driver's side.
Jimin smiles as he rolls his window down and watches as they leave his house.

Jimin's jaw drops as he takes in the college.
He has been seeing pictures of the college since forever but this was his first time seeing it in person.
Jimin
Namjoon it's amazing.
Namjoon smiles at his brother.
Jackson parks the car in the parking lot and they all get out.
Jimin rushes to the trunk to get his suitcases once he does he makes his way back to where Namjoon and Jackson stood.
Jimin
What are you guys waiting for? let's go!
Namjoon stops Jimin before he can run off. Jimin looks Namjoon worriedly.
Namjoon
but we aren't coming in with you.
Namjoon
I have to get home to mom. plus i have a ton of things to do for the university.
Jimin smiles at Namjoon reassuring him that it was okay.
Jimin
Namjoon, don't worry about it.
Jimin
I'll get through on my own.
Namjoon smiles as soon as he sees Jungkook walking up to him with a huge smile. Namjoon pulls Jungkook into big embrace, Namjoon missed how Jackson adverted his eyes and pouted.
Jimin's shocked expression turns to irritation before he narrows his eyes at Jungkook.
he had totally forgotten that Jungkook also went to this college.
that was the one bad thing about attending this college.
Jungkook and Namjoon finally pull away with big smiles on both their faces.
Jackson
Hey, Jungkook. How's college.
Jungkook looks over to Jimin, who had his hands folded. Jimin glares at him. He wanted absolutely nothing to do with Jungkook, regardless of the fact that he was Namjoon's bestfriend. He is an awful person and he really wonders why Namjoon even talks to him while they're so different.
Jungkook acknowledges the shorter male.
Jimin
I'm going to pretend i didn't hear you just now.
Jimin says and Jungkook rolls his eyes.
'why does he always insist on talking to me?' 'his voice is the same, a bit deeper but still cute.' are Jimin's thoughts.
'what the f*ck?!, he's not cute. definitely not. Park Jimin don't you dare. He's an a$$hole, nothing but that.' Jimin says to himself. he should really stop thinking about Jungkook.
he snaps himself out of his thoughts
Jimin
Namjoon, i think I'll get going now.
Jimin gives Namjoon a hug before he starts walking away with his suitcases.
Jackson
hey, why didn't you tell him that Jungkook was going to be watching over him.
Namjoon
because he's stubborn.
Namjoon
there's no way he'll let you so please do it secretly.
Jungkook
but won't he be mad at you if he finds out.
Namjoon
i don't know, hopefully not.
Namjoon
just look out for him, please.
Namjoon
Well have to go now, i have alot to do back home.
Jungkook
Yeah, I'll try to visit you soon. I miss you.
Namjoon
I miss you too kook, We'll figure something out.
They both hug for a last time.
Namjoon
Well, I'll see you soon.
Jungkook waves as Namjoon and Jackson drive away before he runs off in the direction Jimin had previously went.
After a few seconds he finally caught up to Jimin, who rolls his eyes annoyed.
'why he just leave me alone?' Jimin thinks
Jimin
Why are you following me?
Jungkook
now stop talking to me people will think we're friends.
Jimin
you do realize that you're the one who came up beside me.
Jimin
and what's wrong with being friends with me.
Jungkook
Could you keep it down, people are looking.
Jimin
aish, you're so infuriating.
Jungkook
I'm just here to show you to your dorm.
Jimin
I don't need your help.
Jimin
i know what I'm doing
Jungkook
oh, really then where is your dorm?
Jimin
it's on the G building and it's room 342
Jungkook
You're stupidity amazes me.
Jimin raises his hand to hit Jungkook's shoulder but Jungkook caught his wrist before he could do any damage, they make eye contact.
a flustered Jimin tries to pull his wrist from Jungkook's grip but the other was too strong.
Jungkook smirks and pulls Jimin a little closer. Jimin hates the blush that spreads across his cheeks. He also hates how the area of his wrist, that Jungkook's hand holds, tingles under the touch, light a fire had just been lit.
Jungkook
Are you blushing? gross
Jimin
Gosh, do you ever shut up. Just let me go!
Jungkook lets go of Jimin's arm with a smirk.
Jimin rolls his eyes for the 100th time already before he continues walking.
Jungkook
You do know you're heading to F building, right?
Jungkook points towards the opposite direction.
Jimin mentally face palms himself
he glares at Jungkook before he turns around and starts making his way to the actual building G.
Jimin looks back and realizes Jungkook had stopped following him, he unknowingly pouts.
'didn't he say he was gonna help me find my dorm?' Jimin thinks with a huff. 'not that i need his help or anything but still...' jimin trails off his own thoughts.
He sighs in frustration as he arrived at dorm 342, still thinking about Jungkook. He stands outside the door and takes a deep breathe then closes his eyes trying to clear his mind of a certain bunny smile.
Jimin
Stop pouting, I should be glad Jungkook stopped following me. Hopefully I don't have to see his ugly face again.
Jimin
who am i kidding? he's gorgeous.
Jimin
damn it Park Jimin! stop it.
Jimin
how long have you been standing there?
Jimin
the door was closed, how did you open it without me knowing?
Taehyung
i don't know, you must have been thinking really hard about whoever's gorgeous face you were talking about.
Jimin
it's....i didn't know you'd be standing there.
Taehyung
It's fine, I'm just teasing you.
Taehyung
I'm Taehyung by the way.
Jimin
Oh, hi Taehyung. I'm Park Jimin.
Taehyung
Oh, that name sounds really familiar.
Taehyung
yeah, i think i heard ot somewhere but i can't remember.
Jimin
Oh, it's a common name.
Taehyung
Yeah, i guess so.
Taehyung steps aside and let's Jimin in.
Jimin
this place is amazing.
Taehyung
Yeah, I call dibs on the left room.
Jimin
that's cool, i don't mind where i sleep.
Taehyung
good, we'll get along great then.
Taehyung
I'm meeting up with some friends now, you wanna join?
Jimin
I'd love to but i have to unpack.
Taehyung
non-sense, you can pack when we get back.
Jimin
It's a lot of stuff.
Jimin smiles at the taller's cuteness.
Taehyung
My friends are really nice and I'll help you unpack.
Jimin
Okay, fine. I'll come.
Taehyung grabs Jimin wrists and they both leave the dorm. Jimin really hopes Taehyung's friends are as nice as he says.

Jimin
How much further until we are there?
Jimin
Good, my legs are about to fall off from all this walking.
Taehyung
Aren't you a little too dramatic?
Jimin
my legs are like noodles right now.
Taehyung
Lucky for you, we're here.
Taehyung
noodle legs, that's because they're inside the building.
Taehyung
I'll think about it
someone
Taehyung! over here.
Jimin hears someone shout.
Taehyung
I'm coming, Hoseok
'okay so that one's name is Hoseok' Jimin thinks referring to the guy who had just called Taehyung over.
Taehyung
Oh, guys this is Park Jimin
Taehyung
He's my roommate.
Hoseok
Hi Jimin, I'm Jung Hoseok
Jin
Don't let my handsomeness blind you.
Taehyung
Can you stop, you aren't even that handsome.
Taehyung glares at Jin, who just smirks. Jimin watches the two confusedly before he adverts his gaze.
Hoseok
Don't mind them, they are....they have a complicated relationship.
Yoongi
There's nothing complicated about it. They have an on and off again relationship and slight friends with benefit thing going on.
Yoongi
i guess it is kind of complicated but you'll get use to it in time.
Jimin
It's really nice to meet you guys.
Jimin
I don't have any friends here
Taehyung
Well, I'm offended.
Taehyung
because i thought we were friends but I'm guessing not.
Jimin
I'm sorry, of course we are friends i just didn't want to assume.
Jimin
i did once and things didn't go well.
Taehyung
it's fine, I'm just joking with you.
Jungkook
Hey guys. I'm sorry I'm la...
Jungkook stops mid sentence when he sees Jimin.
Jimin
why must you be everywhere?
Jungkook
What are you doing here?
Jimin
i could ask you the same thing.
Jungkook
I'm meeting up with my friends.
Jungkook
what are you doing?
Jungkook
oh no, this isn't like high school where you were always around and I'd have to protect you. you need to go.
Taehyung
wait..wait.. wait
Taehyung
do you two know each other or something?
Jungkook
and leave you here all alone, where's the fun in that?
Jin
Can you two stop arguing for a second?
Jungkook
Ironic since you and Taehyung should also take that advice.
Hoseok
Jungkook, how do you Jimin.
Yoongi
Wait, is he the Park Jimin you're always talking about.
Jimin's eyes widen at what Yoongi said.
'Jungkook talks about me?' Jimin thinks to himself.
Jungkook says as if he was reading Jimin's mind.
Taehyung
Oh, I knew the name Park Jimin was familiar.
Taehyung
It's because that's all Jungkook talked about when he just came here.
Jimin smirks, he knows this was probably getting on Jungkook's nerves and he love nothing more than being the cause of it.
Jungkook
I'm going to pretend you're not even here.
Hoseok
we still don't know how you guys know each other.
Taehyung
Not even back then he never told us who this Jimin person was.
Jin
and now we're meeting him in the flesh.
Jungkook
He's my bestfriend's brother.
Jungkook pauses and points to Jimin.
Jimin
I'm just going to pretend you're not here.
Jungkook doesn't say anything and Jimin glares at him, if looks could kill Jungkook would be six feet under minutes ago.
Hoseok
Okay, now that that's over. Jimin you're going to the party tonight, aren't you?
Taehyung
there are two parties on campus every month.
Taehyung
and this is the first one of the semester so literally every one is going.
Taehyung
so you have to come.
Jungkook
what?! absolutely not.
Jungkook
you heard me. you aren't going.
Jimin
I'm sorry since when were you my mom?
Jungkook
I'm not, but everytime you go somewhere i need to protect you.
Jungkook
If you go to this party I'm not going to be running after you trying to make sure nothing bad happens to you.
Jimin
listen, i don't need nor have i ever asked for your help.
Jimin
I'm going to that party whether you like it or not.
Jin
Jungkook just got told off.
Jin says with a laugh and Jungkook rolls his eyes.
Taehyung
Don't worry kook, I'll be there to protect Jimin.
Jungkook
Don't lie, as soon as some alcohol is down your system you'll be sucking faces with Jin.
Taehyung
no, not this time.
Taehyung
we are really over, i want nothing to do with him. he's dead to me.
Jin
I'm sitting right here, you know?
Taehyung
do i look like i care?
Taehyung
dead to me, i say
Yoongi
let's see how long that lasts.
Hoseok
I give them 2 days.
Jimin
what are we betting on?
Hoseok
how long it'll take Jin hyung and Tae to get back together.
Hoseok
it's been 2 days since they broke up.
Jimin
Really? what happened?
Taehyung
I don't know, he just said he had to break up with me and he can't tell me why and guess what i don't care?
Taehyung
i don't give a f*ck, I'm actually glad he did.
Jin looks down at his fingers.
Jin
Listen, i didn't want to, i had to.
Taehyung
Just tell me why...
Hoseok
maybe, it's for the best. I've seen you both get hurt too many times because of your relationship.
Yoongi
Hoseok's right, your relationship is toxic. It's not good for either of you.
Taehyung
you guys can say that because your relationship is all rainbows and sunshine.
Hoseok gasps at that, slightly offended. Yoongi just sighed and said nothing.
Jimin had no idea what was going on.
Taehyung announced, getting up from his chair. He was sporting numerous emotions ranging from sad to angry.
Taehyung
Jimin, you coming?
Jimin bids the others farewell and leaves with Taehyung.
Jimin asks the taller as they walk into their dorm.
Taehyung
Yeah, I just. I don't know.
Taehyung
why can't he tell me what I did this time?
Jimin
he said he'll tell you soon.
Jimin
and I'm sure it's not your fault.
Taehyung
It's always my fault.
Taehyung chuckles a bit but Jimin can hear the hurt in his voice.
Jimin
Maybe the party will get all this off your mind.
Jimin
We'll get drunk together and have loads of fun.
Taehyung
can you manage alcohol well?
Taehyung
I can't, one sip and it's over for me.
Jimin giggles at that. Taehyung seemed like a cute guy. he was really excited to have him as a roomate. plus his friends seemed nice
Jimin
come on, i need your help picking out something to wear.
Taehyung
Okay, I'll find you the perfect thing to make him jealous.
Jimin raises his eyebrow at Taehyung.
Taehyung
Jungkook, of course
Taehyung
Jimin, I'm not stupid.
Taehyung
I know there's something going on between you two.
Taehyung
Tell me everything.
Jimin
okay, fine. Help me find my clothes first.
