The Guys Who Just Can't Make Up Their Minds

Jimin
Jimin
Jungkook...?
Jungkook's eyes widen, was he beaten that badly that he's now seeing things too.
Jimin
Jimin
What... What happened to you?
Jungkook
Jungkook
Jimin?
He says, almost as if he didn't really believe that it was truly the other so he lifts his hand and he touches the others cheek before he steps away completely and he turns, walking away from a confused and concerned Jimin.
Jimin
Jimin
Jungkook. Stop. What happened in there? Why...
Jungkook
Jungkook
I am doing fine.
Jimin scoffs at that and he holds Jungkook's wrist, tenderly enough to not hurt the other.
Jungkook
Jungkook
You're in my way.
He says, and he wasn't sure where he was going but he thinks he walks far enough then maybe he'll find someone dumb enough to feel sorry for him.
Jimin
Jimin
You're bleeding... How... Do you expect me to let you go anywhere like this?
Jimin lifts his hand to touch Jungkook's busted lip but he stops himself. He puts his hands to his side before he speaks.
Jimin
Jimin
How did your parents let you leave like this? Jungkook, you look like you're on the verge of death.
Jimin finishes, trying to lighten the mood between them. Since all that's happened just now he thinks that might be what Jungkook needed from him and he smiles and he sees a smile crack away on Jungkook's lips.
Jungkook
Jungkook
You do not have to exaggerate that much.
Jimin
Jimin
It won't be an exaggeration if you try to go anywhere like this. Let me take you home.
He adds, and he keeps his eyes on Jungkook. He didn't seem to be in any obvious pain but looking at him, Jimin thinks he had to be.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Why are you still here? They told you to go home.
He asks, and Jungkook slowly glances back at his home. Part of the reason he hasn't just left Jimin and went on his way is because, he thought maybe if he stalled a little longer his parents might regret kicking him out. But he spends about 10 minutes on their porch and he got no response so his hope was dimming.
The other reason though, was because he wasn't sure if he'd ever even see Jimin again, and as much as he shouldn't care about that, the thoughts hurt just as much as his parents abandoning him and he doesn't know if that says more about him or his parents.
Jimin
Jimin
I... I was on my way but... I... I thought if I came back and apologized and told them that it was all my doing. That i forced you to do everything with me or something else. Maybe that Mina lied-
Jimin seemed conflicted, almost the guilt was eating away at him. Jungkook sighs as he speaks.
Jungkook
Jungkook
You want to lie for me?
Jimin
Jimin
I... I just... all the blame belongs only to me . I should've made myself scarce when you told me to. and it's a little messed up that it took now, when everything's gone to shit, for me to realize this but... I'm sorry.
The other shifts his stance, appearing more timid in front of Jungkook as he spoke, and Jungkook hears how his voice cracked a bit as he started again.
Jimin
Jimin
I swear I'll do whatever you want me to. I'll leave you alone. Just after I take you home. I promise I won't let your parents see me if that what you want. I just feel like if I leave you here then you won't go home and then I'll be all worried.
Jimin spoke, waiting for an answer from Jungkook. He didn't look at the other thought. Seemed he was scared to hear the answer.
Jimin
Jimin
Please...
He adds, finally looking up at Jungkook, with a sad smile and Jungkook sighs before he shakes his head and he hears the sigh of defeat, Jimin let's out.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I... I can't go home.
Jungkook tells, and tries to leave but Jimin steps in his way again.
Jimin
Jimin
What are-
Jungkook
Jungkook
Jimin, you should go home... it's getting dark.
Jungkook tells and Jimin looks around a little, it was getting dark but why did Jungkook think he was going to just be okay with leaving him like this. If he did then he'd never sleep well at all.
Jimin
Jimin
What do you mean you can't go home?
He starts and Jungkook looks away, it's almost embarrassing to think about. He doesn't have a home anymore, how can he say that to anyone? How could he say that to Jimin?
Jimin
Jimin
Tell me they didn't disown you, kook?
Jimin asks, and he cocks his head to the side as he stared up at cook, hoping that that wasn't the case. No one would do that their child. Right?
Jimin
Jimin
Kook? Answer me.
Jungkook nods and Jimin looks him, almost in disbelief and he feels his blood run cold. This was all his doing, being technical, if he'd just kept to himself, Jungkook would be okay and the more he thinks the more anxious he makes himself.
Jimin
Jimin
I'm so... sorry this... is... it's all my fault.
Jimin stutters, and he barely realizes he was struggling to breathe as he spoke to Jungkook
Jimin
Jimin
I... I... I can talk to them or...
Jungkook
Jungkook
Calm down...
Jungkook tells,and he adjust his bag before he looks back up at Jimin, who was still trying to focus on his breathing.
Jimin
Jimin
But they... they kicked you out... where... where do they expect you to go?... did they give you money or... did they tell you to go to one of the hotels? Where were you going? And like this... Did... Did they.... They didn't hurt you like this, right?
He stumbled over his words,
Jungkook
Jungkook
None of that matters, I'll be okay. You just need to go home.
Jimin
Jimin
I can't go home if I'm not sure where you'll be, Jungkook. Did they hurt you?
Jungkook
Jungkook
You said you'd do what I asked.
Jimin
Jimin
That was before I knew they disowned you. How am I supposed to go home if-
He stops mid-sentence, and his eyes lighten and a small smile greets his lips before his eyes meets Jungkook's again.
Jimin
Jimin
I... Come home with me.
Jungkook
Jungkook
What?
Jungkook ask, eyes wide. He couldn't do that. Especially at such short notice. He didn't want to be a burden on anyone. He'd just have to figure something. Maybe he could look around and find a job that woukd pay enough for him to feed himself.
Jimin
Jimin
You can stay with me... I... I... You can stay with me for as long as you want.
He tells, enthusiastically, his smile growing wider.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I can't do that, your parents-
Jimin shakes his head in reassurance, and he cuts Jungkook off.
Jimin
Jimin
won't care. No one would care if I brought you. They won't even ask for an explanation. Trust me.
He didn't want Jungkook to think like that. Jimin knew his parents would never not help anyone who needed the help.
Jimin
Jimin
I just don't want you to be alone like this... I'll take you home, and clean you up and get you something to eat... Let me say sorry by doing this. Please.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Mina's probably gonna tell the whole school about us. I... What... What if we can't handle that? If you walk away and leave me then at least whatever they have to say won't be so bad right?
Jimin
Jimin
Jungkook, I... I'd kiss you for everyone to see if I could. I don't care if they judge us for it.
A smile rises on his face at that, a sad one and it makes Jungkook sigh, because Jimin was slowly persuading him.
Jimin
Jimin
Besides, it's over now so...maybe no one will believe her.
Jimin
Jimin
You shouldn't worry about all that right. Just... come with me.
Jungkook doesn't have it in him to try to delude himself into thinking he had better options that this so he just lets Jimin take his hands and the next thing he knew he was at Jimin's house.
----☀︎---- Elsewhere ----☀︎----
Yoongi
Yoongi
What the fuck is wrong with me? Why would I...
Yoongi panics as he stares at himself in the mirror of the bathroom. He runs his hands over his face, shaking his head at the thought that he almost kissed Hoseok.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Min Yoongi, you absolute-
Yoongi
Yoongi
moron...
He whisper yells at himself shaking his head and he takes a few breathe, trying to come to his senses.
Yoongi
Yoongi
It was just... I had gotten confused... when he had been close up like that... he looked like Dari...
Yoongi
Yoongi
And... I was ... I was missing Dari. That's it.
He continued, but it was furthest from the truth.
------
Jungkook
Jungkook
I thought you said your parents would be understanding. I can leave if you don't think they'll be okay with it.
Just one look at him and you could tell he was anxious. Jimin sighs before he turns and closes the room of his door behind then he takes Jungkook's hand pulling him with him over to his bed.
Jimin
Jimin
They will be, Jungkook.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Then make me understand why you snuck me into your room? That doesn't really emulate "my parents will be okay with me bringing a stranger home"
Jungkook argues and Jimin chuckles at him briefly. He gets why Jungkook would think like that but Jimin had his reasons. It wasn't by any means because he was doubtful his parents wouldn't want Jungkook around.
Jimin
Jimin
First, you're not a stranger. You've been here several times and Second, I just thought that after everything that happened today, that maybe you would be more comfortable without having to explain why you can't be home.
Jungkook looks away from the other for a minute. He's not sure how to feel about that. On one hand, he's a little touched, sometimes he forces himself to forget just how much care Jimin had for him and on the other hand, it makes him a little more uneasy. What was he gonna tell people when they start to ask questions? He didn't have the slightest clue.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I... Yeah, I guess explaining would be a little hard.
Jimin
Jimin
Did your dad really hurt you like this?
Jimin asks as he examined Jungkook's face and the other flinches a little as Jimin hand made contact with his face.
Jungkook
Jungkook
You asked me that like 3 times now.
Jimin
Jimin
You never gave me a response. If he did then-
Jungkook
Jungkook
No... he didn't.
Jungkook responds, cutting Jimin off and he looks away again. He didn't want Jimin to worry about that so he thought lying was his best bet, but it didn't seem like Jimin was going to believe him.
Jimin
Jimin
Jungkook...
Jimin sighs before he gets off the bed, and he stoops before Jungkook looking up at the other, with pleading eyes and Jungkook lets out a breath before he speaks again.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I know what you're gonna say, he hurt me so I should go to the police but he... I made him angry so it's not his fault.
He defends, and he couldn't quite understand Jimin reaction to him saying that. The other seemed a little disheveled by that.
Jimin
Jimin
Jungkook, why-
Jungkook
Jungkook
Can we stop talking about this? I just... reporting this would only be more embarrassing for me, okay? I'm almost 18 and I can't stand up to anyone. I'm a sorry excuse for a man.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I'd be angry too if I had a son like me.
He explains and he laughs at himself a little as he tries to put a hand on his face, only to be met with the stinging sensations from his bruises and he whimpers lightly.
Jimin
Jimin
Well, I wouldn't be...
Jimin
Jimin
You're one of the few men in this world we live in who's... not aggressive. You shouldn't let those who are aggressive make you feel inadequate because you're not. You shouldn't let them change you.
Jimin spoke, taking Jungkook's hand in his and Jimin doesn't look away from the other once.
Jimin
Jimin
Because I happen to like you just the way you are.
He smiles fondly up at the other, before he adjusts his position and he sits next to Jungkook, on the bed again.
Jimin
Jimin
Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat after I clean you up. Then I'll stall and you can go take a shower.
Jimin stops himself from saying anything else when Jungkook leans in, closing his mouth on his and though it took him off guard a bit, it doesn't take him too long to match the other pace.
Jungkook pulls away sooner than Jimin'd hope, but seeing as Jungkook had bruises all over his face he'd imagine that he was pretty uncomfortable.
Jimin
Jimin
I thought we were...
Jungkook
Jungkook
I... I know... I just... I'm sorry for how I treated you the past couple of months. I just... I was trying to avoid this I guess.
Jimin keeps Jungkook's hand in his, holding it tightly in his lap, and Jungkook doesn't make any moves to pull it away.
Jimin
Jimin
I know... You're gonna be fine here. I'll take care of you for as long as you need me to.
Jimin reassures, before he pulls Jungkook into a hug and they stay like that for a few minutes. Jungkook felt calm, it's been a while since he felt like that.
--- Next Day ---
----
Hoseok wakes up when he feels his body being engulfed in cold air. He groans as he sits up and he rubs his eyes to see his mother, who had his sheet in her hand. He lets out a frustrated sigh before he lies on his bed again.
It was the weekend, why does she always wake him up too early on weekends.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
Rise from your slumber, Hoseok. Breakfast is ready.
She tells, all chirpy and happy and Hoseok think's it's way too early for anyone to be the chipper.
Hoseok
Hoseok
It is Saturday, mother. There is no school, hence I should sleep for however long I wish to.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
You may sleep for however long you want when we have breakfast. I'll give you 20 minutes to get ready. Then you will wake Jimin up.
She doesn't give him to object as she leaves his room, taking his sheet along with her.
Hoseok groans once more as he stared up at the ceiling, whatever desire he had for sleep was now gone. He sighs lifting himself off his bed before he starts getting ready.
He does everything relatively how he wants to, he cleaned his room a bit, got to write just a tiny bit but he could continue later and he got to shower, not exactly how he'd like to.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... I didn't know anyone was in here.
Hoseok
Hoseok
That's surprising seeing as the shower is not the quietest.
Yoongi doesn't respond to that and while stood there beneath the shower, just letting it rain all over his body he lets his mind wander to places it shouldn't and he groans, shaking his head at himself.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Are you okay over there?
Hoseok
Hoseok
Yoongi, why are you in here?
He says, and it comes off a bit agitated and honestly, maybe he was.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I'm brushing my teeth.
He says, and no, he wasn't lying but Hoseok's not stupid. Yoongi came into the bathroom a few minutes before him and he'd brushed his teeth already then, why do it again?
And while he's in here too?
Yoongi
Yoongi
Do you wanna go for a walk after breakfast?
Hoseok
Hoseok
I don't like walking.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Well, do you wanna go sit by the lake?
Hoseok
Hoseok
I'm gonna do some writing today.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Okay, then let's go to the patio. You like writing in there, don't you?
Hoseok
Hoseok
You'll only distract me.
Yoongi
Yoongi
You never used to complain when i'd join you before now.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Before now, you weren't-
He pauses, with a sigh.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Won't you finish?
Hoseok
Hoseok
Yoongi, you should go.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I'm rinsing.
Hoseok shuts the pipe off once he feels he's done, and it's been about 2 minutes since Yoongi'd said he was rinsing, yet he still wasn't finished.
Hoseok sighs before he pulls the shower curtain, seemingly taking Yoongi off guard and he spits up some of his water before turns away from Hoseok, who rolls his eyes but grabs his towel, covering himself up.
Hoseok then makes his way out of the bathroom and into his bedroom, where he can finally be alone.
As he turns to close his room door behind him, Yoongi slips through the door pretty quickly making the older groan. What did he want?
Hoseok
Hoseok
What is it, Yoongi?
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... Are you okay?
Hoseok
Hoseok
I... I'm fine.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Oh... Good... Good.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Is that all you wanted?
Hoseok takes a step forward unintentionally and he eyes Yoongi weirdly when he steps back immediately and the younger looks down at the floor, folding his arms.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... Yeah... I just... wanted to make sure you were okay... uhm... after last night. You cried alot so I...
Hoseok softens at that, and maybe he was just weak but just the slightest idea that Yoongi cared about him was enough for him.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I'm fine... I'm glad you didn't leave... even when I asked you to.... multiple times.
He teases and he earns a smile from Yoongi as he finally, looks over at him and his smile falls a little before he tightens his crossed arms.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I mean, it's not like you ever listen to me so... you can't be mad.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Because it's what's best for you.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I can take care of myself.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I know, but I just like to.
Hoseok makes his way over to his closet, to find something to wear and Yoongi follows behind him. Only leaving a little distance between them.
Yoongi
Yoongi
How comes you don't... do it anymore?
Hoseok
Hoseok
Do what?
Yoongi
Yoongi
Take care of me...
Yoongi
Yoongi
I thought you didn't care anymore. You used to hug me and hold me all the time. Now, you don't even want to be in the same room with me.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I'd expect you to be happy about that.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Does it seem that way?
Yoongi
Yoongi
I... I'm not.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I mean... I... I'm okay without it but I... It... I liked it.. But just a little. I don't really care.
Hoseok
Hoseok
If you don't stop trying to convince me, i'm gonna start believing that you do really care.
Hoseok teases and if he's being honest, he never really expected to hear the next few words leave Yoongi's mouth.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Can... Can you hug me?
He stops rummaging through his clothes before turns and looks at Yoongi, with a confused expression and their eyes meet. Oddly, Yoongi doesn't look away even though he usually does.
Hoseok nods as Yoongi made his way closer to him. He opens his arms a little and Yoongi holds onto him as he does.
He expected it to be a little awkward but, it wasn't. A small smile finds his lips unintentionally. Yoongi lets out a sigh of content, his breath tickling Hoseok's skin, as he held him tightly.
Yoongi buries his face into the older's neck, seeking comfort. Hoseok smelled so good to him, and his stomach warms up a little at the thought that he smelt just like the other. At the moment, he didn't really find that out of the norm.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I missed this.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Me too.
---
Jimin
Jimin
Out of all the times I've slept next to you, last night was my favorite.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Why's that?
Jimin
Jimin
You didn't wake up in a mood.
Jungkook smiles a little as he stared at the other.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I... It's just that now that my parents know there's... no reason for me to push you away anymore.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I was so scared of what they'd do if they found out, and though i'd rather them not knowing, oddly i have this feeling of relief.
Jimin
Jimin
I'm kinda glad that you're away from them. If they let you stay maybe he'd hurt you even more.
Jimin
Jimin
At least here, you're safe.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I don't wanna burden you or your family.
Jimin
Jimin
Listen to me, you're not a burden. I asked you to come here.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Still...
Jimin
Jimin
I'm glad you're here, Kook. My family won't mind either.
Jimin rests his hand on Jungkook's forearm, and he massages it a little, hoping to soothe the other.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Thank you.
Jimin
Jimin
You don't need to.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Sleeping with you wasn't so bad, either.
Jungkook teases, a small grin on his lips.
Jimin
Jimin
"Wasn't so bad?"
They both laugh at Jimin's poor attempt at imitating Jungkook and once they stop, they're little closer together than they were before.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I like wearing your clothes and all but my stomach isn't even being covered.
Jimin
Jimin
Really? Let me see.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Why would you wanna see?
Jimin lifts the sheet, and while Jungkook's body was gorgeous no matter what to him, seeing all the blue-purplish bruises littering the skin of his stomach made him a little upset. How could his own dad do this to him? And for something so simple.
Jimin
Jimin
Does it hurt?
Jungkook
Jungkook
Yeah. But I'm fine. It's starting to heal.
He traces his fingers over Jungkook's stomach in an attempt to see just how much he was actually in and it's like he thought. A lot, with the way he quivered from a slight touch.
Jimin
Jimin
Do you want me to take you to a doctor? I-
Jungkook
Jungkook
I... No... You've helped me enough, Jimin. You don't have to worry. I will better than before in a few weeks.
Jimin
Jimin
What if I got the doctor to come here?
Jimin
Jimin
Please, at least think about it. He'll give you whatever you need to feel better. I would rest easy if you let me do this.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Okay, but just this once.
Jimin
Jimin
After we go down for breakfast, I'll tell my mom to call a doctor, that's if she doesn't offer to do it before i do.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Can't I just hide away up here? I'll just keep your bed warm and then no one has to know i'm here.
Jimin
Jimin
Or, We could go for breakfast, tell everyone you're gonna be here for a while and then we can come keep my bed warm together.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I like my option better.
Jimin
Jimin
I know you do.
Jimin leans in and he pecks Jungkook's lips, once then twice then
Hoseok
Hoseok
Jimin, mom said you shou-
Hoseok
Hoseok
... I... Sorry... I didn't
Hoseok doesn't wait for a response, instead he just leaves making his way out.
Jungkook
Jungkook
He's gonna tell your parents and then they're gonna kick you out too. Maybe if I leave now then they'll think he's lying.
Jimin
Jimin
Hoseok and Taehyung know about us.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I... And they're okay with it?
Jimin
Jimin
Yeah. Hoseok knew about us since the day we first kissed.
Jungkook
Jungkook
What if-
The door flies open again, revealing Hoseok and Mrs. Jung, who's eyes widen at the sight of Jungkook.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
Oh... Jungkook. I hadn't known you were here.
Jungkook
Jungkook
Uh... Hi... Mrs. Jung. I... I'm... I was just about to leave.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
What? At least stay for breakfast, I made 7 servings but I'll give you Jimin's portions seeing as he forgot to mention he brought you over.
Jimin
Jimin
I... I forgot. And... I know it's short notice but Jungkook's gonna be staying here for a while.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
Okay, Is everything okay at home?
Jimin
Jimin
Yes, he... we have a project at school and we wanna spend every possible moment we can making sure it's perfect.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
Well, I'm glad you guys are taking school seriously but don't work yourselves too hard.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
Anyway, come down for breakfast soon, your Dad, Dari and Yoongi are already waiting, I'll go wake Taehyung since Hoseok doesn't listen to me.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I heard that.
Hoseok shouts back from the stairway, between Jimin and Taehyung's room.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
Good.
Jimin chuckles at that, shaking his head before he turns to Jungkook. He's sure Jungkook would fit right in with his family.
---
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
Jungkook? I had not been aware that you were joining us for breakfast.
Jungkook
Jungkook
I... Yes, I.. I was... Ji... I
His heart was beating heavily. He guesses he was more afraid of rejection than he thought he'd be. He doesn't want to say anything that could possibly make Mr. Jung angry at him or at Jimin.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
Nayeon here tells me you'll be staying with us for a while, it's always nice to know that Jimin has friends so make yourself at home, Jungkook.
Jungkook lowers his head a little, respectfully before he speaks.
Jimin
Jimin
Dad, don't be mean to me.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
It was just a joke, Jimin. Laugh a little.
Jimin
Jimin
Leave the jokes to the comedians, dad.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
Hmm, was it that bad?
Dari
Dari
Might've been your worse.
Dari teases, making her father sigh in content before he looks to Taehyung, who seemed a little fidgety.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
Is there something on your mind, Taehyung?
Taehyung
Taehyung
No, Dad, It's nothing.
Taehyung smiles, and he continues picking his food. He just felt guilty for the previous night and he wasn't sure whether to apologize or not.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
It is fine, Taehyung. I want you to talk to me. No matter how small it is. I just want to know that you're okay
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
This doesn't just go for you, but all of you. I want you all to know that your mother and I love you so it's okay to trust us.
Everyone nods in acknowledgement and Taehyung can't help but feel like he's done something wrong.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
Your dad is right, but i'll make sure to remind you all more often.
Hoseok
Hoseok
You can remind me by not waking me up on Saturdays, Or Sundays for that matter.
Mrs. Jung cocks her head before she sighs, giving in.
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
Fine, I will leave you be on Saturdays, but not Sundays.
Hoseok smiles happy for that outcome, and his smile fades when his Dad speaks, gaining his attention.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
On some more light-hearted news, Hoseok since your birthday is coming up I will let you have that party you had wanted.
Hoseok
Hoseok
It's not like you to grant me what I want.
He was a little shocked, especially given the way his last conversation with his dad ended. Hoseok was sure his dad would be upset with him for a bit longer.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
Well, today is your lucky day
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
Though it will be a party for your birthday, you'll also choose your bride.
Hoseok laughs lowly at that, of course it wasn't just the party.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
And before you object, I will get you the best women in town, if you'll just keep an open mind then-
Hoseok
Hoseok
Okay...
He says, plainly and he continues playing around with his food.
Mr. Jung
Mr. Jung
Okay?
Hoseok
Hoseok
Yes...
Mrs. Jung
Mrs. Jung
That is unlike you...
He forces himself to smile tight lipped, rather than roll his eyes. He was a bit agitated, given through the corners of his eyes he could see everything Yoongi and Dari were up to. They seemed to really like each other.
He's less happy about that than he should be, seeing as they were both important people in his life.
What agitated him the most though was that he was with Yoongi just minutes ago. They are just friends but the hug felt so intimate and he guesses he forgot all the reasons he shouldn't have even hugged the younger in the first place.
Now he had to sit here and watch him fawn over his own sister and his family practically make a scene over him doing the bare minimum. He was just trying to avoid being the "rebellious one", that everyone seems to think he is and now they're all making it a big deal.
Jimin
Jimin
Very unlike him.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Would you guys rather I say no?...
There's a pitch to his voice that grabs everyone attention, and he feels all their eyes on him. He bites his lips trying to calm himself a little. But the only thing keeping him going was the little voice in his head telling him not to cry.
He must really like her.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I... I'm just trying to comply.
Dari
Dari
I think you'll find a beautiful wife.
Hoseok's eyes move from his fork to Yoongi, who had put his down, only to lean over and he whispers something into Dari's ear. She smiles brightly, a little flustered before she turns to Yoongi, and she whispers something back before they start eating again. Fond smiles on their faces. Hoseok feels himself get a little nauseous so he drops his fork on his barely touched food before he stands and leaves the room.
(Yoongi whispered "not as beautiful as you" in her ear. if you were wondering, Hoseok didn't hear it but it's kinda obvious that he says something like that given how she reacts )
Everyone looks between each other in confusion, what was his problem?
Taehyung excuses himself politely, before he makes his way after Hoseok. He really just wanted to apologize to the other again and he guesses there was no better time than now.
It takes him a while to find the other, but eventually he finds the older in the vineyard, picking various berries only to trample them beneath his feet. He was upset?
Taehyung
Taehyung
Hey....
He says, taking slow steps to Hoseok and he stops when Hoseok jumps a little, startled by his sudden appearance.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Can I join you?...
Hoseok looks at him for a minute before he drops another berry, stepping on it, multiple times then he looks up at Taehyung.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Yeah... sure.
Hoseok says, and he turns, walking away from the other. Eventually, Taehyung realizes he was supposed to follow the other and so he does.
He watches as Hoseok took a seat in the picnic area of the vineyard. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he makes his way over to the table and he takes a seat, opposite of Hoseok.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I'm sorry about making such a scene last night. I was just not... thinking, I should've kept quiet. I wasn't trying to worry the family... or make things awkward.
He apologizes and he offers a smile, one that Hoseok probably hadn't seen, because he refused to look up from the table, where he'd been tapping his finger away at.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I'm sorry I made you feel the way you do.
Taehyung
Taehyung
I'm fine...
Hoseok
Hoseok
You're not...
Hoseok
Hoseok
And it's okay... It's not your fault. I'm not judging you for it.
Hoseok
Hoseok
But you were right. I did... I haven't been a good brother to you but it's not because I love Jimin more than you.
Hoseok
Hoseok
Truthfully, Jimin's just easy to talk to.
Hoseok
Hoseok
And I always found it harder to bond with you but I shouldn't have pulled away, I should've... tried harder.
He admits, and when he mutters his next words he lifts his eyes to meet Taehyung's.
Hoseok
Hoseok
But I will now...
Taehyung
Taehyung
I... I would like that...
Taehyung smiles at the other, and the older returns it, still tapping his finger on the hard wood.
Taehyung
Taehyung
Do you wanna...
Before he could finish, a familiar voice cuts him off, making him turn his attention from Hoseok.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Hoseok, Can we talk?
He questions, seemingly on edge and Taehyung looks to Hoseok, to tell the other it would be okay for him to go but Hoseok gives an answer before he could say anything.
Hoseok
Hoseok
I... I can't right now. Later...
Taehyung looks between the two. Were they okay? Hoseok hadn't even spared Yoongi a look to tell him no. Taehyung shoves his questions aside as Hoseok raised a question.

Yoongi sighs as he stared out at the long field before him. He thinks he should probably go home. It's been a while since he went there. About a week, almost 2. His dad told him to stay with Dari but now he's starting to worry that maybe staying for extended periods would only make things more awkward for him.
He also thinks that maybe being away from Hoseok for a while can help him come to terms with the thought that maybe they just won't go back to how they were before.
But does he really want that though? When they were good, Hoseok managed to kiss him about 3 times. If anything he should be okay with this. At least now, he won't have to worry about being kissed by his best friend.
Unintentionally, he lifts a hand to touch his lip. Part of him still remembers the feeling. He remembers it, pretty vividly too but he can't quite describe it.
A shriek leaves his lips as two pair of hands grab his waist out of nowhere, and he groans when he hears a familiar laughter.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Are you trying to get rid of me before we even walk down the aisle?
Dari
Dari
I was just making use of an opportunity. Your little scream was cute.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I'm sure you're the only one who'll think that, but that's good enough for me.
She takes a step closer, resting her hands on his forearm before she leans in claiming his lips with hers before she pulls away briefly.
Dari
Dari
You're scowling. Care to share why?
Yoongi
Yoongi
I just... stubbed my toe... earlier. That is all... I still hurt a little.
Dari
Dari
Come with me.
Dari grabs him by the wrist gently, pulling him where she wanted him to go. Yoongi hadn't known it'd be such a far walk, he'd thought she was taking him to somewhere near the house but this far?
Yoongi
Yoongi
Are those horses?
He asks, despite staring at the animals themselves and Dari laughs at that before she takes his hand again, and she pulls him into the stable with her.
Dari
Dari
Yup! My mom likes horses so we've had them for a long time now.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Does she ride any?
He says, looking around at all the horses around. There were about 4. They were so big, big enough to kick him and he wasn't quite of that thought but regardless he continues to let Dari pull him around.
Dari
Dari
Not anymore, but I do.
Dari
Dari
Come ride one with me...
Yoongi shakes his head as she takes his other hand in hers too.
Yoongi
Yoongi
No.. I.. I cannot..
Dari
Dari
Don't be nervous. It's fun..
She reassures, then she pulls him closer to look at the horse she loved the most and Yoongi notices how her smile widened as she pat the horses head. She must really care for it.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I think we've spent enough time together for you to know a horse is the last thing I should be on.
Yoongi
Yoongi
I could break an arm..
He elaborates, and she laughs shaking her head, still patting the big brown horse.
Dari
Dari
Or I could hold you really tightly and make sure you don't fall.
Yoongi
Yoongi
You're not going to let me get out of this, are you?
Dari
Dari
Not at all.
Yoongi rolls his eyes, but he just lets her have her way. If this would make her happy then he guesses he wouldn't mind getting flung by a horse today.
Yoongi
Yoongi
Fine.
