Cherreads

Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Breakfast

After deciding to get up, Jungkook and Jimin took turns showering and getting ready for the day. The bathroom was well-equipped with everything they needed, and the warm water helped to wash away the lingering fatigue.

As they dressed in the clothes provided for them in the closet, Jimin couldn't help but notice how well everything fit. "Looks like the Shadows take care of their members' wardrobe needs," he commented, adjusting his shirt.

Jungkook chuckled, smoothing out his own clothes. "Yeah, I guess so. Everything's pretty high-end, too."

Once they were both dressed, Jimin looked at Jungkook and said, "I know you find Taehyung interesting, but still..."

Jungkook looked up from adjusting his sleeves, a hint of surprise on his face. "What do you mean?" he asked, though he knew exactly what Jimin was getting at.

Jimin's expression was serious. "I mean, Taehyung is...different. I can see why you'd be drawn to him. But still, Jungkook, you need to be careful. We don't know much about him or the Shadows yet."

Jungkook's gaze held Jimin's, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "You're worried about me, Jimin?" he teased, a small smile playing on his lips.

Jimin's face remained stern. "I'm serious, Jungkook. We're in this together, and I don't want you getting hurt."

Jungkook's smile softened, and he nodded. "I know, Jimin. I appreciate your concern. But I can take care of myself."

"I know."Jimin said while smiling. "To be honest, this is kinda fun. I didn't think doing risk things would be fun, but...I don't know, it's exhilarating?"

Jungkook raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "You think being part of the Shadows is fun?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Jimin shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips. "I don't know, it's just...different. We're not just following a routine, we're actually doing something. And it's not boring."

Jungkook chuckled, "You're enjoying the thrill, aren't you?"

Jimin's smile grew, and he nodded, "Maybe a little. But let's not get too carried away. We still don't know what we're getting ourselves into."

Jungkook grinned, "You're right. Let's just take it one step at a time and see where this journey takes us."

The two friends shared a look, their excitement and apprehension mingling as they prepared to face whatever lay ahead.

With a sense of determination, Jungkook and Jimin decided to head out of their room and explore the Shadows' headquarters further. They made their way to the living area, where they hoped to find some breakfast or at least some guidance on what to do next.

As they walked out of their room, Jungkook glanced at Jimin and asked, "You ready for this?"

Jimin nodded, his eyes shining with a mix of excitement and caution. "Let's do it."

Together, they stepped out into the hallway, ready to face whatever the day had in store for them.

Minju saw them walking down the hallway and quickly caught up to them with a warm smile. "Good morning, guys! I see you're up and about. How are you feeling today?"

Jungkook and Jimin exchanged a look, both of them returning Minju's smile. "We're good, thanks," Jungkook replied. "Just getting some fresh air and exploring the place."

Minju nodded, falling into step beside them. "Great! I was just on my way to grab some breakfast. Would you like to join me? We can grab some food and catch up a bit."

Jimin's stomach growled at the mention of food, and he nodded enthusiastically. "Sounds good to me."

Jungkook chuckled, "I think we're both starving, actually."

Minju laughed, leading them towards the dining area. "Well, let's get you two fed then!"

As they entered the dining area, Jungkook and Jimin's eyes widened at the spread of food before them. Minju led them to the table where J-Hope, Suga, Jin, RM, and Taehyung were already seated.

RM looked up, catching their gaze, and smiled. "Ah, good morning! Come join us. We've got plenty of food to go around."

J-Hope waved at them, scooting over to make space. "Hey, guys! Welcome to breakfast. We've got everything from Korean to Western dishes."

Suga nodded in greeting, his eyes fixed on the food as he expertly handled his chopsticks.

Jin, ever the gentle giant, smiled warmly. "Good morning, Jungkook, Jimin. Please, sit down and eat. You're probably starving."

Taehyung's gaze met Jungkook's, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

Minju gestured for them to take their seats. "Go ahead, guys. I'll grab you some plates and utensils."

Jungkook and Jimin exchanged a look, feeling a bit more at ease as they took their seats among the Shadows' members. The atmosphere was surprisingly welcoming, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity about these people they'd been thrust among.

As they began eating, Jimin noticed a small smudge of food on Jungkook's face. Without thinking, he reached out and gently wiped it away, a tender gesture that spoke volumes about their friendship.

J-Hope's eyes landed on the exchange, and he smiled knowingly. "You guys are really close, aren't you?" he said, his voice filled with warmth.

Suga's comment brought a mix of amusement and embarrassment to Jungkook and Jimin's faces. "You guys are close, but into arguments, aren't you?" Suga said with a smirk. "You guys were so loud when you were arguing in the basement yesterday. I thought you were gonna wake up the whole building."

Jungkook and Jimin exchanged a sheepish glance, both of them remembering the intense discussion they'd had. "Yeah, we can get pretty loud when we're disagreeing," Jungkook admitted, chuckling.

Jimin nodded in agreement, "We're just passionate about what we believe in. Doesn't mean we don't get along, though."

Jin smile hearing that.

Jungkook mumbled under his breath, " though we got into throuble because of him" thinking Jimin wouldn't hear it. But Jimin's sharp ears picked up on the comment, and he quickly responded, his voice laced with a hint of mock offense, "Hey, what? You think it's my fault?!"

Jungkook looked up, a mischievous glint in his eye, "Yeah, I do," he said with a grin, playfully shifting the blame onto Jimin. Jimin chuckled and playfully hit Jungkook's arm, "No way, it's not my fault!" The others at the table laughed at the exchange, enjoying the lighthearted banter between the two friends.
