Friends

The moment Jimin walked in, Jungkook's doe eyes fluttered open. He sat up in his bed and stared at Jimin.

"Hey, I feel like I know you, somewhere at the back of my mind. Can I spend more time with you to get to know you?" Jungkook asked heartbroken Jimin with an innocent face. Jimin couldn't help but want to force his own memories of them into Jungkook, but he knew better than to force him. I mean, what if he gets a headache and then never wakes up? Then what's the point of me making him remember, if he can't be there with me to make more?

Jimin fought his tears, and hugged Jungkook, only managing to whisper, "I'm glad you're safe." Jungkook was a bit surprised at Jimin's behaviour, but accepted it, assuming he was a best friend of his. Jungkook had no idea of his sexuality. Jimin, on the other hand, was dying to force a kiss on his former boyfriend, in hopes of reminding him of them. Jimin started shaking at the thought of not being able to hug or kiss Jungkook anymore. He knew it would take him a long time to remind Jungkook of his sexuality, and their love. It was killing him to not be too touchy, but he knew he'd get used to it, being the elder, and therefore the more mature one. He had no choice anyway.

Jungkook noticed Jimin shaking , and wrapped his arms around him tighter, thinking he could warm the small boy in this way. Jimin froze. He quickly released himself from the hug , moved to a chair nearby, and started looking around to ease himself a bit. The room wasn't very spacious, but still cozy enough, despite being a hospital room. There was a potted plant next to the bed, an artificial one - easy to take care of. Jimin turned his head back to Jungkook, only to see his doe eyes widened.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly stop hugging me? Did I do something wrong?"

"N- no I..."

"Nevermind, it's okay. Are you my hyung? Are you a friend of mine?"

Jimin's heart throbbed. He mentally clutched his chest in pain. Friend? I'm a friend now?! For his sake, I'll go along. Jimin nodded in response.

"Well?"

"What?"

"I'd like to know more about my connection to you. If you're okay with it. I see you spacing out a lot so..."

"No, no, I'm fine. Okay to begin with-"

Jimin started talking about how they met in Jungkook's junior year, and Jimin was just about to graduate, about how they promised to keep contacting each other even after they couldn't see each other as often. Jimin told Jungkook about how he got selected in Big Hit Entertainment, but worked a part time instead, for Jungkook's sake, because working there would mean having less time to spend with his (boy)friend. The only part Jimin left out was where Jungkook had confessed his love to Jimin the day Jimin was going to graduate, how he fell in love at first with the doe-eyed, muscle beauty.

Jimin didn't tell him about it because he thought such a huge chunk of information may cause him to suffer from a migraine. He decided it'd be better if he worked on getting him to remember bit by bit.

"Hey, you seem to know more about me than the people that came in before, claiming they were my teachers. How about we...you know.. become friends? You know, we can, um...work on getting my memories back, and like, just, I WANT A COMPANION OKAY?! I like you so.... I mean, you seem like a nice guy..and stuff." Jungkook pouted and blushed towards the end of his friendship request. He turned away from Jimin. Jimin gave a small smile, making his eyes crescent-like, even if Jungkook couldn't see it.

"Sure, little bunny."
