[ EPISODE - 9 ]

College Campus – Late Afternoon
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
(Walked out of the college gate, his bag slung lazily over one shoulder)
The sky was cloudy, and the air smelled faintly of rain
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
(Looked beside him — Jimin was busy texting)
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
Hyung, (his tone casual but his eyes alert) did you text Yoongi-sunbaenim about skipping today?
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
(Blinked, then widened his eyes) Oh god—
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
(Hit his own forehead with the heel of his palm)
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
I totally forgot! He said he might not come today but I was supposed to call him this morning
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
(Narrowed his eyes) Are you okay with him just disappearing like that?
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
( with a small smile) He does this sometimes. But yeah, I should still check
They walked toward the bus stop as Jimin clicked on his contact list, hitting the call button next to “Yoongi Hyung.”
Tring... Tring... Tring...
No answer at first
Jimin tried again
Click
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
📱Hello? (his voice soft and warm) Yoongi hyung?
Silence
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
Yoongi? (repeated, a little louder(
Then suddenly, a small voice came from the other end. Slurred and high-pitched, almost like a child’s — with words slightly tangled and letters falling in the wrong place
📱Hewoo? My hyungieee went to use bafwoom... He'll come soon... wait... okay?
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
(Froze)
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
(Who had leaned a bit closer to listen, widened his eyes)
The voice was sweet, soft — definitely not Yoongi. It was... babyish. The tone playful, like a child talking with a stuffed bear
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
(Grip on Jungkook’s wrist tightened under the streetlamp)
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
📱W-Who is this? (stammered into the phone)
But before the baby voice could answer again, a slightly muffled, frustrated voice came from the background
“Taetae! Didn’t I tell you not to answer my calls? Give it to me—now.”
They both heard the rustling of the phone being snatched
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
📱Jimin
It was Yoongi. Calm. Smooth. Completely different from the voice that had just spoken
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
(Voice shook a little)📱 Who was that… who picked up just now?
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
(Was quiet for a second, as if thinking how to phrase it)
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
📱That was... my younger brother. Taehyung
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
(Brows twitched. He stepped in closer, watching Jimin’s expression carefully)
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
📱You never told me you had a brother ( said Softly)
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
📱(Sighed)He lives with me. He’s... a bit different. Childish sometimes. Doesn’t really go out. I don’t like talking about him to people
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
📱Oh (replied, nodding slowly, even though Yoongi couldn’t see it)
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
📱Don’t worry , He won’t bother you. It was just one time
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
📱he ... wasn’t bothered, i am just surprised
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
📱You okay?
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
(Glanced at Jungkook, who was clearly trying not to frown)
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
📱Yeah. I’ll talk to you later, hyung
KIM YOONGI
KIM YOONGI
📱Okay
The call ended
PARK JIMIN
PARK JIMIN
(stood still, processing everything)
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
(Gently touched his elbow)
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
You good, hyung
PARK JUNGKOOK
PARK JUNGKOOK
