Chapter 10: Intermission: A Look Into The Past

...Chapter 10:...

... The Big Hit had, in one of its floors, a long hallway with doors that led to dance practice rooms for idols, and some photoshoot rooms. ...

... Jimin had been called, one day, when he was 20 weeks pregnant, to model for a product advertisement in one of those photoshoot rooms in the Big Hit building. The advertisement was for a set of lipsticks, so the pictures would be of Jimin’s face. Since the advertisement pictures would just focus on Jimin’s face, it didn’t make a difference that he was pregnant at the time of the photoshoot....

... Jimin arrived that the Big Hit building and worked on modeling for those photos for a couple of hours, in one of those rooms meant for simple photoshoots like those....

... During a break from the shoot, Jimin stepped out of the room and into the hallway. He meant to just walk to the vast set of windows in front of the elevator’s area and look at the city below for a minute, but, in the empty hallway with the dance practice rooms for idols, Jimin saw one of his close friends, Jungkook....

... Jungkook was also in the moment of closing the door of a dance practice room behind himself when he saw Jimin. Jungkook’s eyebrows raised and he smiled at Jimin, waving his hand....

... Jimin, who was at a distance from Jungkook in the white hallway, walked up to him with a smile of its own....

...“Hi, hyung!” Jungkook greeted him when they were face to face. “I didn’t know you were here today.”...

...“I’m just doing a small photoshoot.” Jimin explained, pointing with his thumb to behind himself....

...“For make-up?” Jungkook asked. Jimin nodded....

...“Yep.”...

... Jimin still had the full face of make-up from the shoot - faint glitter on the underside of his eyes, brown circle lens, a soft peach pink blush on his cheeks and a nude red color on his lips covered by a thin layer of sparkly gloss. Jimin wore a white shirt with the first two buttons on the collar opened, and his pastel-orange hair was blown out stylishly, falling around his head and face in a curly, fluffy way....

...Jungkook, in front of him, looked like he had been dancing for hours. There was sweat on Jungkook’s forehead, wetting the fringe of his raven hair. Jungkook wore a baggy black t-shirt, grey sweatpants and red sneakers. ...

...“You look good.” Jungkook said, after looking at Jimin’s face for a moment. ...

... Jimin smiled at the praise, wanting to laugh at the other’s forwardness....

...“Thanks.” Jimin said. “You look good too, despite all the… sweat.”...

...“Can I kiss you?” Jungkook asked Jimin....

... Jimin’s eyebrows raised and his lips parted....

...“Uh? What?” Jimin frowned confusedly. “Why?”...

... Jungkook shrugged. ...

... Jimin tilted his head to the side, looking at Jungkook curiously. That had been so out of nowhere, although it wasn’t totally unexpected of Jungkook, and-...

... Jungkook leaned over and pecked Jimin on the lips, chastely....

...“Hey!” Jimin exclaimed, surprised....

... Jungkook started to run away, laughing....

...“Don’t you run, Jeon Jungkook, when you know I can’t run after you like this!” Jimin exclaimed, trying his best to run after the younger despite his 20-weeks bump slowing him considerably. “Come back here so I can flick your forehead!”...

... Jungkook laughed from afar in the hallway, thinking that Jimin was cute when he was annoyed like that....
