Yoongi smiled and wrapped his arms around Jimin in turn, although he bent down for a moment to pet Min Holly, since it didn't seem right to neglect one for the other. He wanted to tell Jimin that it was ridiculous to claim to have missed him when they'd just been together a few hours ago, but instead he looked right into his eyes and smiled. "I missed you too."
Honestly, it was true. "Did you make yourself at home?"
"I mostly just played with Min Holly. I kind of forgot about anything else." He shrugged his shoulders before he bent down, picking up Min Holly so they could both get pets at the same time. It kind of worked. "I played fetch a little and then we just cuddled. Your place is so nice. So big! I got a little lost when I tried to explore so I stopped doing it."
He was joking, he'd never tried to explore but this place was big. Swanky too. He supposed crime really did pay. "You have a great view."
"I do. Though I've no idea what I have it for, all I ever do is play with Min Holly too." And now Jimin, apparently. Yoongi smiled and kissed the top of Min Holly's head, then turned his head so he could kiss Jimin's cheek. "All right, I need dinner and I need a shower, then we can hang out."
He almost invited Jimin to join him in the shower, but for one thing he just wanted to feel clean and for another, it seemed as if they should do this slower. More special. That's what he wanted, anyway. "Are you hungry?"
"I'm kind of hungry. Can you cook? That's so cool. I always wanted to learn how to cook but Tae didn't know and neither did I. We just ate ramen and whatever was cheap at the street stands." They really didn't have a kitchen area either so it was whatever they could get their hands on. Jimin sat back on the floor, cuddling Min Holly close to his person.
"I didn't get to ever really have a kitchen so I never had any choice. Not that I really like food but it seems interesting." He liked to watch people cook, even if he wasn't all that into eating it.
"I can cook. When..." Yoongi wasn't sure how much of his life story was really relevant here, so he just took a shortcut, focusing on the important bit. "I've worked at a restaurant for a while. I'm not the best, but good enough."
With that he headed into the kitchen, luckily right adjoined to where Jimin was sitting anyway. He started chopping an onion roughly, not really feeling like anything fancy. "You can use a rice cooker, right?"
He pointed the rice cooker out, waiting for Jimin to make a move. "So you don't really like food, huh? Anything you don't eat?"
"That sounds like fun. Working in a restaurant is nothing like what you do now though, it's kind of weird." He moved into the kitchen and lurked around the rice cooker, he'd only ever used one a few times growing up so it had been a while but it wasn't exactly tricky. "I can work on. Gimme a sec." He made sure it was plugged it, got the rice and started making two cups.
"I'll eat anything but sometimes I just don't like to. I have a lot of problems with food for a while." One of the reasons he had to go into the hospital. He was getting over it these days, thanks to Tae. Food bothered him less.
He even enjoyed some of it. "I think in some ways, I just stopped liking it to spite people."
"My position is inherited. The Min family has been running things for generations. But my father wanted me to earn my spot, so I essentially got kicked out when I was a teen, with Namjoon. We lived on the streets for a while, like you and Tae. I got a job at a restaurant around that time. It was a good gig, got free food there too. Namjoon got kicked out, because he can't hold things without dropping them."
It was like a curse. Yoongi threw the onions into a pan and added some carrots he'd found in the fridge, then he leaned next to the stove, turning so he could look at Jimin. "I hope you won't want to spite me then. I don't want to worry about you." That talk about food was definitely worrying to him.
"I've seen him drop a lot of stuff, you're not wrong. It's nice though, to have a friend like that. Tae is like your Namjoon, he's so important to me because he's always been there when I needed him. He's my best friend." He leaned over the top of the rice cooker, watching the rice slowly start to cook with a small, curious look. It was fun to do stuff like this, it was kind of homey and felt normal.
"As long as you don't stop me living a life, I won't spite you." Jimin warned him with a hint of playfulness. "A lot of my problems are better now I'm just living. They wanted to keep me locked up and I hated it. You can't be happy if you're trapped." He turned and nudged his body gently against Yoongi. "You make me happy."
"I'm glad." Yoongi frowned a little in spite of his words, looking at Jimin thoughtfully. He finally pulled him against himself, wrapping both arms around him so he could keep him close while looking into his eyes. "There's many ways of being trapped, you know?"
He was sure that Jimin knew, perhaps better than most. Still, they should probably discuss this. "If you and me is going to last... If that's what you want, then eventually people will know. I'll want people to know. That doesn't mean I'd make out with you in public, but they'd know you're mine. You could be by my side sometimes." If his intense need to be with Jimin continued like this, he saw it become inevitable. "But if you are with me officially, that'd come with safety precautions for you. With some obligations."
Being wrapped into a hug felt amazing, he wanted to stay like this for as long as he could but he knew food was cooking so it probably wouldn't happen. Maybe later, maybe then they could take a nap in each other's arms and be together for a while.
"I know. So many ways. I don't want us to be trapped, I want us to be happy." And if that meant a sacrifice, he could try it. No, he didn't like the safety precautions or obligations because he didn't think he needed it but he had to assume that Yoongi knew better. And besides, it was just another way of caring. "What do I have to do to be official with you? I'll do whatever. I want to be with you so bad, Yoongi."
"First I'd want to see if you actually still say that in a week. You don't know me that well yet." And he didn't want to ruin Jimin's life for something that could end up being a passing fancy. Jimin was young, he was flighty in his nature, but Yoongi couldn't know whether that would extend to what they had, what they could have. "If you were with me officially..." He paused, playfully tugging on Jimin's shirt, lifting it up a little bit. "You'd have to dress a lot better, for one thing. I'd have to take you shopping. I don't want the other mob bosses calling me cheap."
"You don't think I look good right now?" Jimin pouted and looked down at his outfit. Admittedly he was just wearing a hoodie and jeans but he liked them. His hoodie was super cosy. Still, he knew that he got to go shopping so that did soften the blow. "I do like shopping... I guess it could be nice to have new clothes. Tae stole these for me from a H&M last summer."
It wasn't like they could afford to go shopping, most of what he owned was stolen by either Tae or himself. "Okay, we can go shopping! But what else do I have to do?"
"Honestly, if you just want to wear cheap clothes it's up to you, I want you to be comfortable. I know most of my... you know, colleagues, they have wives and mistresses decked out in designer clothes. But they mostly still look cheap and their fake breasts make me uncomfortable, so, what do I care?" He moved his hands a little down, just for a moment, settling them on Jimin's ass. He decided that he had the right and it felt just as amazing as he'd have imagined. "However, I do think you could look great in some expensive stuff. Maybe custom-made. Tailored. Go designer, if you want."
Yoongi shrugged his shoulders, mostly having decided that this was better to talk about than the other stuff. "I have a lot of enemies. There's many people who want to hurt me. If you are officially mine, you will be a target. You will need protection. At all times."
"That sounds cool, the tailored stuff. I could use pants that actually fit me. I have one pair too big and one pair too small." He was wearing the too small pair right now, he liked to show off his ass if he was working, it gave better chances at getting good tips. Laughing at the touch, he nuzzled in closer playfully, eager to get that attention and get himself nice and settled in his potential lovers arms.
If he jumped all these hoops. Which he could do, he was okay with that. "Protection? Like body guards?" Jimin raised his hand and made a gun with it, pretending to fire. "Or do I just get a gun so I can kill all the bad guys."
"You're not getting a gun when you don't know how to use it. Any weapon you have can be used against you in a fight, remember that. Especially if you're not familiar with it or hesitant. The people we're talking about now, they won't hesitate to hurt you." Yoongi moved his hands back up, then turned around suddenly, quickly moving the things he had on the stove and adding to them while Jimin was standing behind him. Whatever, he didn't want dinner to get burned just because he had to have this conversation.
"You'd get bodyguards, yeah. Probably two. We'd find ones you're comfortable with and ones that I trust." He already had some candidates in mind, actually.
"Okay, I guess I can do that." He could learn to be okay with it. He snuggled up behind Yoongi, putting his chin on the other's shoulder so he could watch him cook. It was pretty fun to watch someone he loved cooking for him. It was so weird, it didn't feel the same as the person telling him he needed bodyguards. "I can get used to it... I get to be with you though, right? Cause honestly, that was the only thing he cared about.
He wanted Yoongi, even if there were strings attach. "If we're together, we get to, you know, be together. Like hold hands in public and kiss sometimes."
"Hold hands in public, yeah. As long as you hold my left hand. Right one is my gun hand, I always need to keep that free." It had happened before, being attacked without any warning. Yoongi didn't really anticipate that being a problem right now, he was relatively secure in his power base, but one never knew. "We'll see about kissing."
He looked back over his shoulder, then kissed Jimin's lips, since they were right there. "I'm afraid if you kissed me, I won't be able to stop kissing you." With that he kissed him again, then again, just small kisses until he could forget himself a little, laughing when he finally focused on cooking again. "But yeah. You'd get to be with me."
Those kisses made his lips tingle and he couldn't be more happier if he tried. His heart hurt from how good it felt. He clung tighter to Yoongi and giggled excitedly. "You know, if it's a price I have to pay to date you, I'll pay it. I think I'll be happy." It would bug him sometimes but as long as he got to see Yoongi and be around him, as long as he didn't ignore him around his friends. "So ... if we're going to be together all official and stuff, does that mean that I get to see you when you finish work?"
Aka was he allowed to sleep over? He'd had a few dates before but no one had ever really let him sleep over or stick around long. "I like it here. There's you and a puppy. Perfection."
"If we're doing this, you should probably stay here." It would certainly be easier security-wise, he was already considering this. He knew where Tae and Jimin lived right now and he could just see Namjoon's face upon discussing security measures for that building. It'd be a nightmare. He also knew that he should probably try and be a little more romantic about this, but it was good to have thinking practically at the back of his mind. "I'd like to have you here. And Min Holly is always feeling neglected by me anyway, so maybe you can make him feel a bit better about that."
Woah. That was fast but it was nice. He laughed and pulled back from Yoongi, looking at him with a hint of insecurity. "Are you sure you want me here that much? What if you end up not liking me all the time?" He'd been told he could be a brat and a pain in the ass, he didn't want to end up annoying Yoongi and getting kicked out. "I would like to be here. If I can. I like it here, it's nice."
"Eh. I'm not home that much." Yoongi joked, but he had to smile anyway, because Jimin was just too cute. He only turned away to add some water to the pan and put the lid on, turning down the flame so it could simmer. Then he turned around to look at Jimin properly, shrugging his shoulders. "I think I'd like having you around. You could redecorate too, make it feel more like you want it."
He wasn't really attached to much of anything here, aside from Min Holly. "Anyway. I need to go take a shower, you watch the pot, make sure it doesn't flow over? Just take it off the flame if it does, but it should be fine. I won't be long."
With that he walked past Jimin, ruffling his hair. "We can share a shower some other time. But if you'd like, we could share the bed tonight."
"Oooh! Yes!" He sounded way too eager but he didn't care. He wanted to share a bed, he wanted to cuddle and, most of all, he was hoping to get more kisses. He beamed brightly at Yoongi and then perched himself in front of the pot, watching it to make sure it didn't overflow. He took his job very seriously. "I'll see you in a few, enjoy your shower."
Once Yoongi had left, Jimin sat on the floor of the kitchen, watching the pot and playing around with Min Holly. "I'm going to live with you. How cool is that? It's so cool." He petted Min Holly gently and then threw his squeaky toy aside. "Fetch!"
Yoongi was sure to be quiet when he returned, hair freshly washed and still a bit wet, wearing a simple shirt and jogging pants. All in black, of course, but he looked casual. He wanted to be comfortable. And he also wanted to secretly take a picture of Jimin playing with Min Holly, because that was adorable.
Finally he cleared his throat, putting his phone away. "We can eat by the television, if you want. That's what I usually do. Sometimes Namjoon calls me just to tell me about some k-drama's he's watching, then I drag him."
"That'd be nice. Usually me and Tae watch stuff on the phone Namjoon gave us." They gathered around it, watching dumb youtube stuff as they ate their noodles or whatever they worked out how to make. The apartment they'd been given had a small kitchen area but it wasn't overly used and it was pretty messy. He kind of hoped that Tae was okay with him moving out - he didn't want to upset his friend.
He threw the toy to Min Holly and then got to his feet, ready to assist wherever he was needed. He was a good worker! "Can I help?"
"Get the rice into the bowls? They're above the sink." Yoongi didn't usually bother with a serving dish or anything, but Jimin was here, so it should be special. He put some kimchi into a bowl, then got a bigger bowl for the main dish and carried it all over to the couch table, so he could sit down next to Jimin and turn on the television.
Yoongi leaned forward to eat, making sure to press his leg against Jimin's. He wanted to be close to him. "So, you still like me? Even like this?"
