Friendship means that should you find yourself lost at sea, I will sail day and night to find you.

Author's POV

It had been a while since they all got together. Friendship is a gift especially if it is shared among people who like to see each other do well. So, going for over month without actually getting together was a long time for all of them.

Jimin had been juggling a lot of things and though overwhelming, he handled everything with grace. With the date of the launch only days away, Jimin was up and about most of the time – meetings filled most of his days and he had to go through numerous documents and approve final designs before the product launch. He was also actively involved in the remodelling of Jin’s restaurant. He was one to keep promises and just because work was overwhelming, he didn’t use that as an excuse to get out of helping Jin – even though Jin had insisted that they handle the remodelling after the product launch.

Jin felt inspired after the dinner at Jimin's. So, he had come up with a whole new idea and theme for his restaurant, Love Blossoms. He had closed up shop for renovations. The space he wanted to create would be out of this world and be a place that would be able to “bring the spark back into love,” he had said. It would be a perfect date spot for all lovers in all of Seoul. It would also be the go to place for all the sappy romantic moments – anniversaries, wedding receptions, surprise engagements and all that mush. So two visionary minds got together working tirelessly to bring a concept alive.

Yoongi and Namjoon on the other hand had settled well into their business partnership and were now working on their first production. They didn't need to do much to get companies to want to work with them, their reputations in the industry preceded them. The moment they announced their partnership, investors had come flocking in and entertainment agencies had sought them out.

Namjoon had found a bigger and more spacious studio space not so far away from the restaurant and it had worked out well for all of them. There was always a lunch spot around the corner – his boyfriend’s restaurant and he got to see the love of his life whenever he wanted. They juggled both working and setting up their office space with Yoongi in charge of the equipment and Namjoon, the administrative side of things – managing both the clients and with the help Jin and Jimin, the interior decor and overall staging. After all, it is all in the aesthetics.

Hobi and Tae were stuck to each other like white on rice. They did everything together. Hobi had been busy preparing a boy band for their debut. Being the perfectionist, they had to work double time. The choreographies had to be perfect. He had a name to uphold so substandard wasn't going cut it. The members of the boyband had a love-hate relationship with him. They hated how hard he worked them but loved him the same because he was good at what he did and they gave credit where it was due.

Tae knew how exhausting this would be so he had been there to support his now boyfriend. Things on Tae's end weren't as hectic. I mean, fashion week was months away but this didn't mean he lazed in his responsibilities at work. So if Tae wasn't at work, he was hanging out with Hobi at his dance studio or they were on a date somewhere in the city. Half of the time he wasn't at home.

Jungkook on the other hand put his photography skills to good use. Every evening after work, he rushed out of the door disappearing into the city. The best pictures were captured at sunset; when the golden sun ray kissed the earth goodnight. He had had to go out early some mornings just before the sunrise and around the city taking pictures that would later be blown up and hung on the walls of both the restaurant and the production studio.

"Capture the essence of Seoul," Jin had said. “The pictures have to evoke feelings of romance for the restaurant and the ones meant for the studio have to tell the story of music around Seoul.” Not an easy task to accomplish but he was up for the challenge.

So every evening after work for at least an hour, Jimin would be at the restaurant going over colour concepts, lighting, helping Jin decide of what clothes would be used for the tables, what the perfect centre pieces would be, the napkins and all that.

Jungkook would tread the streets of Seoul capturing moments, Namjoon and Yoongi would go over their work, meet investors and plan what needed to be accomplished the coming months. All the way across town, Tae and Hobi would be seated in front of a group of tired boys who looked that they could drop any minute going over a dance routine with Hobi shouting at the top of his lungs "Again!!!!" if they got it wrong.

Needless to say, everyone's hands were full.

Jin, feeling that everyone's batteries were running out, decided to have everyone over at his restaurant for dinner with three things in mind. One, to have them try out his new menu, two to catch up and three to recharge. They all needed it. So, on the first day of fall, they all gathered at the almost-ready restaurant for food, drink and a little merry making. He would be re-opening it two days after Jimin's launch.

Relationships were blooming, love was in the air and so was success. They didn't realize how long it had been since they all got together and this was made apparent by the hours they had spent together that night. Thank goodness that the next day was a Saturday. And in the wee hours of Saturday morning lovers left hand in hand headed to their homes to catch some zzzs.

Since Jungkook and Tae's place was in the city, Jimin would spend the night there. It would be his first time. In the time they had known each other, Jimin had yet to visit Junkook’s place. They both loved the quiet life. Coming from Busan – that had more nature that Seoul, Jungkook often found it relaxing to just stay over at Jimin’s away from the noise despite the distance.

The early mornings they woke up to the birds singing with no drone of cars, or the hiss as they moved over the rain coated streets were a reward. The afternoons they sat in the backyard to sip on some lemonade and get some sun and the evenings they would jog around the neighbourhood with a beautiful nature trail was healing to the soul.

This would be the first time they would be staying over in the city apartment.

Their relationship had been progressing really well – physically, emotionally and just overall.

Physically, they were having a hard time keeping our hands to each other at home and at work. The moment they were in the privacy of their own company, they were quick to pin each other against walls and ravish each other. They however made sure to keep it on the down-low.

Jungkook's novelty at work hadn't faded yet and wasn’t showing any signs of doing so – the guy was an Adonis. People were drawn to him like bees to honey. Jimin struggled with this a little. The green eyed monster in him reared its ugly head once in a while. It didn't help his cause that Lisa kept trying to seduce his man. He wanted to scratch her eyes out. But, he was no drama queen – mama did not raise a ratchet bitch – and scratching someone’s out in a jealous fit was just below his class. So he sat back and kept his nails and hair pretty. He – for a fleeting moment – entertained the thought of painting on his forehead in bold letters that he was taken and put a tag around his neck that said "Property of Park Jimin,if found return to owner" for extra effect but, well, that was not viable. A guy can dream though.

Jungkook enjoyed seeing his moments of jealousy way too much. "It's cute and kind of hot when you get jealous like that," he said to him one time. Jimin did not appreciate the stupid smirk that was plastered on his face when he said that so he pulled him into their secret spot at the office and reminded him who he belonged to. He reminded him in every way that his body responded only to his commands and no one else would make him feel as good as he did. He was very appreciative and his scrambled brain knocked him down a peg.

Even though Jungkook enjoyed teasing his jealous side, Jimin enjoyed just the same teasing him about his gaze that seemed to not stray away from him. He was enraptured by every move Jimin made and the lust that burned in his eyes was unmistakeable. Often times, Jimin had to stare him down or remind him to look away for the fear of him giving away their relationship. It pleased Jimin though that he had such a powerful effect on him and the knowledge of that set a fire in the most intimate of places in him.

Lisa on more than one occasion threw a fit like a petulant child as her efforts to woo the man were unnoticed and she went complaining to Jimin who could not find it in him to be sympathetic of her. He even basked in the knowledge that the gorgeous man who had Lisa’s panties in a twist had eyes for him and him only. He did not have to worry his pretty little head with unprofitable thoughts of his man’s intentions towards others.

"Maybe he is just not into you or he is interested in someone else," Jimin told her one time trying to quell the little spit fire.

"Oh! That is bull! As far as I know he has no one I his life right now," she had replied in anger.

"And how do you know that?" Jimin asked stifling the smirk that threatened to break out on his face. He was enjoying this way too much at his friend’s expense.

"Word around the mill," she replied unsure.

"Well, word around the mill can be wrong Lisa," he replied as he picked a document from his inbox tray and pretended to focus on his work when all he wanted to do was to break out in fits of laughter.

Jungkook was oblivious to all the attention he was getting. Well, not completely oblivious – he just chose to pay it no mind. At this point, the blood flowing through his veins pumped only for one silver haired boy with plump lips and a perfectly formed bottom. No one else could hold a candle to his perfect Jimin. In the moments when Jimin felt Jealous, he was just as quick to remind him who he was in his eyes.

Having an incredibly hot boyfriend like his was an inconvenience. A lot of the times – even though he teased Jimin – he wanted to punch the lights out of those who ogled at him lustfully. Jimin was eye candy. All he needed to do was exist and the world would go crazy. His cute innocence made people coo at how adorable he was and he all but wanted to wrap him up in a fluffy blanket and hide him away from the world.

One time, he came short of pounding a dude at the office into the wall when he explicitly described what he wanted to do to his cute, sexy and lovely Jimin. He had seen red and his hand ticked in anger as he watched the man yap on about it. If not for Soobin, he would have been fired for assault in the work place. Jimin gave even the straightest of me wild thoughts.

Their make out sessions were intense and passionate. They had mastered each other's bodies like the palms of our hands and explored each other’s kinks. Google – their trustee educator – had come to the rescue. While they were at first afraid to try out new things – as always is with new relationships – they had gotten over the initial embarrassment and thrown themselves into it. There were several misses but they got the hang of it. At this point, they just wanted us to be comfortable in each others nakedness. While Jungkook was confident, Jimin had a little insecurities of his own and Jungkook took it upon himself to encourage him and turn the things he saw as flaws into strengths.

He found in a moment of spontaneity that Jimin particularly liked a little spanking and also had a praise kink. He did so well with a little praise. Surprisingly, the need to be praised only affected his personal life. He was a giant and well put together when it came to his work. Jungkook did not understand why this confidence could not just flow naturally into his personal life as well but he did not question it. They were yet to talk about the root cause of this. But, Jungkook just wanted his boyfriend to be confident and happy with who he was.

Jimin on the other hand knew Jungkook loved the thing he did with his teeth when he was getting him off and there was also this thing he did with his palm on his balls that made Jungkook reached the highest levels of pleasure and come undone without being touched.

They got handsy with each other in places they shouldn’t have been as they enjoyed the adrenaline and thrill of getting caught. Even without going further than physical touches, it never got boring. But, they both wanted to go further. There was the nervousness to proceed further than that. Going beyond physical touches was like crossing a line and there was no going back. The dynamics of their relationship not only revolved around them as individuals but also revolved around their friendship circle, so they felt that they had to be absolutely sure about their relationship.

There was also the fact that this was Jungkook's first relationship with a boy. It was no rocket science but he had to learn the physics or science of it if you will. He had scouted Google and even taken the courage to venture into porn sites. He did not like what he saw, most of it was cringe worthy. There was quite a balance in their intimacy but for the most part he was the dominant and as one, he felt the need to do it right.

He was so lost about it all that he finally plucked the courage to ask about it. Who better explain everything to him than his close friends? So on one Saturday afternoon, while the four – Jin, Namjoon, Tae and him – had lunch at their place, he asked. There was a stunned silence when he posed his question and Jungkook flushed in embarrassment. The silence wasn't at all about the question but it was more of a surprise that they weren't dipping it and doing it yet.

"You mean you haven't done it yet?" Tae asked in wonder.

"No s-seriously, you haven't done it yet?" Namjoon asked just to double check.

Jungkook nodded.

"You guys have always been handsy with each other. I assumed you have closed that line,” Jin commented. “So what have you guys been doing all this time? You know.... in terms of intimacy?"

"A lot of making out. Exploring uhhh... each other's you know... kinks, b-blow... uhhh blowjobs and uhhh..." jungkook stuttered. This was painfully embarrassing that he wanted to crawl up somewhere and die.

“Okay okay... we get it...” Jin said raising his hand to stop him.

"I am curious though… didn't you get bored of it doing just that?" Namjoon asked, more out of curiosity.

"Oh not at all," Jungkook replied rather naughtily. The thought of it made him flush crimson red. And it sent the others into fits of laughter.

"That good huh?" Tae asked winking.

“Very good,” he agreed with a nod.

"You two are such a weird couple,"Jin noted. "In a chef’s language, you guys have only had the entrée. Wait until you get to the main course," he had said with a wink. He never failed with his jokes and weird comparisons.

And with that, sex education for Jungkook began.

It was quite a sight. Naughty giggles, fits of laughter all over, tools brought from Tae’s naughty collection for improvisation and demonstrations with Jin and Namjoon being the volunteers – of course not the actual thing coz that would be weird. Anyone watching from the outside would be rolling on the floor.

Let's just say after that night they had all learnt some new things and their innocent Jungkook had been opened to a whole new world of pleasure.

Well, one can't say Jimin on the other was very experienced. In his relationship with Dae-Hyun, he could count the number of times they had had sex and it wasn't particularly anything special. Their relationship hadn't been rosy and sex to him was more like an obligation to keep Dae-Hyun happy and as a way to ensure the continuity of their relationship.

Thanks to Jungkook, he had gotten to experience a whole new world of pleasure without sex being involved. But, he was dying to try it with him. He could only imagine how much more amplified the pleasure would be considering how much fun they had during their current escapades in the bedroom. He just didn't know how.

And so like Jungkook, he recruited help from his trustee friends who were equally surprised that the two hadn't gone beyond touches and other intimate moments. Most of what Yoongi knew was from experience with his incredibly hot foreign boyfriend – a blonde haired, blue-eyed French stud by the name of Antoine and sunny not-so-innocent Hobi knew a lot from his short term relationships. So similarly, Jimin was schooled.

On that day, they had both graduated from sex education class.
