Jungkook will solve everything

Jimin was used to brewing his coffee stronger than necessary, because no one else remembered how he liked it. He was used to waking up in an empty apartment and sewing torn cuffs himself. He was used to being on his own — settled, established, and lonely.

Jungkook's appearance in his life was like a strange element, a force that swept everything away.

"I'll handle it," Jungkook says as Jimin tries for the hundredth time to assemble a shelving unit. Jungkook simply nudges him aside with his shoulder, takes the instructions, and tightens the bolts as if that's all he's ever done with his life. Jimin stands nearby, feeling useless.

"I bought a new one," comes the voice the next morning, just as Jimin mechanically reaches for his old, worn-out mug. Jungkook is already holding a new one in front of him, with a warm peach tint and a funny little cat. "Throw the old one away."

Jimin swallows a prickly lump in his throat. Behind him are years where "I'll do it myself" was a shield, and "I'll handle it" felt like a betrayal. But Jungkook doesn't ask for permission. He just is. He makes the bed exactly how Jimin likes it, even though Jimin never told him. He buys his favorite ramen and sets a timer, because he knows Jimin always burns the eggs.

And even the next morning, when Jimin wakes up to the smell of fresh pancakes and wants to get up, all he hears from Jungkook is:

"I'll take care of everything, just lie there a bit longer."
