The first time it happened Yoongi was just doing his homework in his room. He hated math and the numbers were giving him a headache, but it wasn't nearly painful enough to make that horrible crying sound that he heard very clearly even though he was completely alone.
The need to turn around and check his room quickly turned into him frozen in fear when the sound came again even louder this time.
"Where… where am I?" the voice sounded small and sad, and as terrified as Yoongi was that voice caused his heart to flutter, telling him to help whatever it is
Turning around slowly he didn't expect to find a kid he didn't know sitting on his bedroom floor holding his bleeding leg up to his chest. Huge beautiful doe eyes filled with tears looked right into his and Yoongi felt like crying too
"Are… you okay?" Great mind Min Yoongi, ask the intruder if he's okay when he's bleeding on your floor
The kid stares at him as if trying to decide what the right answer should be "That looks like it hurts just hold on one second"
If this kid ends up murdering Yoongi at least he'll die feeling like a good person who got a band aid for the crying kid in his bedroom, hopefully he won't die because that is one weird story
"Are you going to kill me?"
Yoongi dropped the first aid kit he was holding, he's not the one sitting in a stranger's bedroom!
"Don't you think I should be the one asking that question?" he couldn't stop the small laugh escaping him, the whole situation is just ridiculous – he must have fallen asleep doing homework and is having the weirdest dream of his life
"You're laughing! You are going to kill me! Don't come any closer!" it was honestly kind of cute how this kid was trying to sound brave
"I swear I'm not going to kill you! Okay,my name is Min Yoongi, I am 10 years old and I live in Daegu. Why would I tell you all of that if I was trying to kill you?" Technically if he was planning on murdering him telling him his name wouldn't have changed anything cause he'd be dead but he isn't so it means a lot
Yoongi got on his knees next to the very suspicious boy, he sat down a bit too hard and his knees knocked against the floor. Why did it hurt If this is a dream?
"Are you a ghost? That's the only explanation" Yoongi wondered out loud
The boy had a small smile on his face "How can I be a ghost if I'm bleeding? Your theories aren't great so far Min Yoongi"
Giving the leg in front of him a slight nudge earning a painful gasp from the mystery kid "Guess you're not a ghost then… What's your name?"
The band aid fits perfectly over the cut "I'm…Jeon Jungkook. I'm 10 years old from Busan not Daegu, and I was there when I tripped on my way home then boom suddenly, I was here"
Yoongi could see Jungkook is trying to hold back tears so he does the only thing that comes to mind, holds his hand. What surprises him though is that Jungkook holds back right away, squeezes his hand like he doesn't want to let go.
"Don't worry, my mom will be home soon, and she'll know what to do. Let's just hang out for now"
They play some card game for a little while. Then Jungkook "helps" him finish his homework, meaning he's doing them and Jungkook sits next to him and draws. They talk about their parents and what they like to eat
"Maybe when you're done with your homework you can show me what music you like to listen to" Yoongi told him all about some rappers Jungkook never heard about "My friends never talk to me about music"
"You have a lot of friends in Busan?" Yoongi asks not looking up from his notebook
"I guess… what are your friends like?"
Yoongi doesn't answer, Jungkook looks at him confused "Yoongi?"
"I don't have friends" it was barely a whisper but Jungkook heard him, he didn't want Jungkook to know- now he'll never want to be his friend
"So, can I be your best friend?"
Yoongi looks up so fast it hurts his neck a little, the sudden movement sending tingles down his back
"I mean you don't have to say yes I know I'm not cool like you but-"
"You're the coolest best friend ever Jungkook" they share a look and a smile and go back to whatever they were doing before, Yoongi glances at Jungkook every now and then to make sure he is still there and when Jungkook notices he just holds his hand.
He's showing Jungkook all his manga books when hears his mom saying she's home from downstairs and immediately grabs Jungkook's hand again
"Maybe you can move in and live here with us?"
Jungkook doesn't get to answer when Yoongi runs out of the room excited to ask his mom if they can keep him
"Yoongi-ah slow down what's going on?"
He drags his mom up to his room so she can see Jungkook herself but when he opens the door Jungkook's gone.
Looking at his desk Jungkook's drawing is still there. It's a small flower with his little name on the bottom proving that it wasn't a dream, Yoongi is going to keep that drawing forever.
It took a while for it to happen again, Jungkook now 14 years old couldn't even really remember that event four years ago. That is until he bumps headfirst into someone who literally appeared out of nowhere! They both fell in different directions, Jungkook got up immediately realizing this is his fault
"Oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't see you there! I'm late for practice and I wasn't looking where I was going shit are you okay?"
It took a second to realize the person is wearing a different uniform than his own, so he definitely doesn't go to this school. Plus, he can't see his face because said person is still on the floor looking down. Besides he'd remember a student with his hair dyed blonde, they weren't allowed to do that here.
"Jungkook?"
The blonde looks up and their eyes meet, Jungkook still doesn't recognize him… he holds out his hand for the blonde to take to help him up. He looks at the hand that's coming to meet his, the wrist has a tattoo of a flower just like the one Jungkook always draws.
It's only when their hands touch that Jungkook remembers.
"Min Yoongi?"
The blonde had a huge smile on his face and was nodding to make it clear he is in fact Min Yoongi
"You remember me Jungkook? It's been so long I thought you forgot" and the next thing he knows Min Yoongi is hugging him. He hugs back of course; he just tackled him to the ground.
"Yoongi? Not to be rude but… what are you doing here?" He really doesn't want to be rude, but he is also still late for his choir practice and he has a feeling he's not going to make it at all today
Yoongi gives him one last squeeze and takes a step back to look at him "Sorry I don't know why I did that" said Yoongi. "I have no idea how I got here; I was just… thinking about you actually" Yoongi blushes "Not that I just randomly think about you! Umm some kids at my school like to make fun of me sometimes… for the whole 'a kid showed up in my bedroom and we became best friends but I don't know where he is now' story" Jungkook looks down feeling a bit uncomfortable, remembering all the times he got made fun of for that exact same story
"So yeah this kid was saying something about you, how you're not real and I got so angry and then something tackled me… guess who it was" Yoongi had a shy smile that went very well with his blushing cheeks.
it's weird, looking at Yoongi now he can tell exactly who he's trying to be- tattoos, a beanie covering his dyed blonde hair, his school shirt isn't tucked in and he isn't wearing a tie, he even has a cigarette above his left ear. He's got bad boy written all over him so why is he suddenly acting so soft?
"I can't believe you're standing right in front of me, are you sure you're real?" Yoongi reaches out and pokes his chest "HEY" Jungkook grabs his hand trying to stop him from tickling him, he sees the tattoo again
"Is this…?" Yoongi pulls his hand back like he just got burned, looking down again when Jungkook tries looking into his eyes
"This is really embarrassing" he covers his face with his hands "I hope you don't mind I was just… I mean I don't know what to say I really loved that drawing and you I mean not that I loved you oh god you hate it and I'm blabbering I don't know what's wrong with me"
"I love it" and he really does, no one ever did anything like that for him. When he came back home that day everyone told him he was crazy, his parents even called the police thinking someone kidnapped him. But he always remembered Yoongi, wondering how he's doing hoping they'll get to see each other again someday.
They end up getting ice cream and find a place they can sit looking at each other in the park. It was like they both needed to see and touch each other to believe they're really together. Yoongi tells Jungkook he's still into rappers and is writing his own stuff but no way is he going to rap anything in the middle of the park so Jungkook can keep begging.
Jungkook can't understand why being with Yoongi is so easy for him, he's shy and awkward even around his friends but with Yoongi it's different. He also can't stop thinking about how handsome Yoongi grew up to be or maybe he always was but when they were 10 years old he was too young to notice. He should stop thinking about it, he barely knows Yoongi and they're friends if they can even call it that but why does he have to be so damn cute?
"What are you thinking about?" Yoongi chuckles, Jungkook jumps up realizing he's been staring- his ice cream is melting on his hand so he licks it
"Don't do that Kookie some people might think that's sexy" he chokes and starts coughing his cheeks turning red, Yoongi just looks amused and that kind of pisses him off.
They start walking around the city, Jungkook shows Yoongi all of his favorite places and telling him what it's like to live there. At some point they hold hands, and no one says anything but Jungkook likes it, likes it so much. He traces the flower on Yoongi's wrist so many times and Yoongi plays with his fingers like it's normal, like they do it every day.
It's already evening, and the air gets chilly, Jungkook shivers- he's always cold, if he knew he'd be walking around he'd bring a jacket "Here" Yoongi's hand let goes for a second and he's already missing the way it felt. He feels something on his head, Yoongi took off his beanie and put it on Jungkook's head.
"How did you know I was cold?" He asks taking Yoongi's hand back to his, because he's cold and Yoongi's hand is warm. Yoongi shrugs "Are you cold? I just thought my beanie might look good on you" he squeezes Jungkook's hand, it's like their own secret language.
"Damn it, it looks so much better on you now you have to keep it" and Jungkook knows he's lying because it's too big for his head but he nods anyway "Sorry I am just too good looking! now you'll have to give me all of your clothes"
Yoongi starts unbuttoning his school shirt and they both laugh but Jungkook still blushes
"It's getting really late Yoongi-ah, shouldn't you call your parents?" he doesn't want to say it because it's starting to feel like the end, it feels different now not even trying to think about how Yoongi showed up here in the first place and especially doesn't want to think about how he'll be gone soon. He let goes of Yoongi's hand just for a second to fix his shoelace "and maybe give me your phone number so we can stay in touch?" okay so maybe his shoe was fine he was just scared… what if Yoongi doesn't WANT to stay in touch with him
His heart sinks when Yoongi doesn't reply, of course he doesn't want to keep talking to him he was just there when Yoongi needs him right? Fine. Maybe he doesn't want to stay in touch either it was a stupid suggestion
"You can just say no it's fine" ready with his best pout he looks up at nothing. Yoongi is gone.
"Holy shit"
Jungkook knows that voice but it's been a year since he heard it. He thought about trying to find Yoongi but he doesn't want to bother him so…Yoongi can find him if he wants to right?
What he didn't want to see at least not consciously is Min Yoongi butt naked holding nothing but what looks like his beanie Jungkook kept on his bed covering his "private parts" conveniently.
"YOONGI WHAT THE" Yoongi now grabs the blanket with his free hand and tries to cover himself with it, "MY BEANIE" maybe Jungkook shouldn't worry about that now but he loves that beanie and now it's dirty with- he's not going to think about that
"Don't look please oh god Jungkook-ah I'm so sorry" Jungkook never turned around so fast in his life, even though some part of himself keeps telling him to turn back around- the part that only shows itself when Yoongi arrives.
The problem is it's already nighttime, Jungkook was in his pajamas finishing something for school that's due tomorrow. But when he and Yoongi get together by this crazy magic it was always the middle of the day, gone by the end of it.
"Uhhh there's a closet behind you, you can grab sweatpants or whatever you want to really I'm just not gonna turn around until you say it's okay" he's blushing so hard. Why is he always blushing around Yoongi?
"I'm so sorry Jungkook-ah I was just going to take a shower I didn't know and I really want to hug you but I freaked out a little and I'm just sorry for the beanie and everything" it makes Jungkook feel better to hear Yoongi rambles like that, maybe he's nervous too "You can turn around now… if you want" Yoongi coughs awkwardly
Jungkook slowly turns back around, Yoongi is wearing his grey sweatpants but is still shirtless and Jungkook tries not to stare at his chest but his eyes keep sneaking glances at it
"Why was my beanie sitting on your pillow?" Yoongi is grinning now, no hints of previous awkwardness just full on winning grin "Did you hug it while you were sleeping so I'll visit you in your dreams?" Jungkook grabs the empty water bottle next to him and throws it at Yoongi hitting him straight in the face. They're both quiet for a second and then they're laughing uncontrollably
"I missed you asshole" Jungkook can't stop himself from saying and he feels tears in his eyes, laughing suddenly turns into crying and suddenly he's in Yoongi's arms. He doesn't even care his face is on Yoongi's bare chest in fact he likes it even though it smells like sweat and cigarette smoke which he hates but it's Yoongi.
"Kooki-ah baby don't cry, I missed you so much you have no idea" baby baby baby "I thought about you every day, thought about holding you like this but you were always happy when I did that" he hears Yoongi sniffle is he crying too
Yoongi takes his chin and looks him in the eye his vision is blurry from the tears, but he wants to look at Yoongi so badly. Yoongi is cupping his cheek wiping them with his thumb and Jungkook doesn't care anymore, he needs to do this. He puts his hand on Yoongi's neck and kisses him just a quick peck on the lips that feels like a lifetime. He let's go but Yoongi grabs him and pulls him in for another kiss a little deeper this time and Jungkook's heart is exploding he never felt so many butterflies at once.
They pull away panting but still holding each other just enough to breath.
"I can't believe I just did that" Jungkook touches his lips and looks at Yoongi who's doing the same thing "I can't believe you did that either but please do it again and when you're done with that do that again" Yoongi is already leaning in for another kiss but Jungkook steps back "Hey that's not fair" Yoongi whines
"Wait don't you want to talk about it first?"
"Can't we kiss first and talk later?"
"Yoongi-ah I'm serious we haven't seen each other in a year we can't just make out until you disappear again" he eyes his sweatshirt that's sitting on the chair and throws it over to Yoongi "and please put this on"
"You mean we can make out later? Let's talk then! Why am I putting on a sweatshirt it's hot enough in this room" yes it is NO stop it bad Jungkook "Just put the damn shirt on Yoongi your chest is distracting me okay?" and Yoongi grins again while Jungkook sighs but he puts on the sweatshirt and Jungkook sighs again a little angry at himself for making Yoongi do that
Looking at Yoongi again he suddenly realizes how much he didn't see "Oh my god your hair is green and you look like a skeleton are you not eating? You have an earring? What else did I miss?"
Yoongi just chuckles and runs a hand through his hair "I would call it mint but I guess you can say green, why you don't like it?"
They sit on Jungkook's single bed – Jungkook leaning against the headboard, Yoongi sitting in front of him with his legs crossed. Too far away if you ask Jungkook but maybe it's what they need at the moment.
"It's just….different. Good different! How do they let you go to school like that? One kid in my class got highlights and they didn't let him back to school till he dyed his hair back to black so it ended up even darker than his usual hair it was so funny" Jungkook laughed but Yoongi didn't laugh with him "Wow Yoongi-ah it's just hair don't be so dramatic" Yoongi doesn't look him in the eye and then he knows something's up "okay spill it what's going on?"
"I don't go to school anymore Jungkook-ah"
"What? Why not?"
"Don't freak out okay? I'm fine it just wasn't good for me…the stress was just too much and I haven't been doing well. I couldn't eat I couldn't sleep I couldn't take it anymore so I quit." Yoongi still isn't looking at him and Jungkook doesn't like that one bit. He stretches his legs so his feet touch Yoongi's crossed legs
"Okay" that gets Yoongi's attention for some reason
"Okay? Shouldn't you be yelling at me telling me I'm making a mistake? Aren't you worried about me?"
Now Jungkook is just shocked because Yoongi is yelling at HIM for not yelling at Yoongi and he never got mad at him before. Jungkook really hates it when people yell at him.
"Do you want me to tell you all of those things?! I think you know what's best for you and obviously had enough time to think about it to make the right decision! who am I to tell you you're making a mistake? Of course I'm worried about you that's basically all I ever do!" the tears from earlier come back up and Jungkook can feel them at his throat but he's trying to hard not to let them out because they're tears of frustration and getting yelled at and he doesn't want Yoongi to think he cries all the time even if he does, Yoongi doesn't have to know that yet.
"Why are YOU crying I'm the one who got kicked out of school! I'm the one who should be crying!" and he is crying now but he wasn't crying before and Jungkook thinks about earlier when he started crying and Yoongi might have too?
Jungkook kicks his stretched leg and hits Yoongi in the shin. Yoongi's mouth opens comically and he reaches out for Jungkook's hand but instead of holding it like Jungkook thought he pinches him
"OUCH"
So he pinches Yoongi back, then Yoongi is pinching him again and Jungkook kicks. Somehow this ends with Yoongi on top of him and he's kissing him and he's running his hands in Jungkook's hair and on his neck- it's so easy to get lost with Yoongi
"Jungkook-ah I'm tired" says Yoongi giving one last kiss to Jungkook's lips and rolling off of him putting his head on Jungkook's pillow right next to Jungkook's head "Can we sleep now and talk later?"
Jungkook wants to say no but he's yawning and it's late so he nods, Yoongi is covering them with the blanket and Jungkook turns off the lamp. It's a small bed but Jungkook doesn't mind and he hates sleepovers so much but with Yoongi it's different. It's always different.
He can feel Yoongi's breathing on the back of his neck and his eyes grow heavy. The last thing that goes through his mind is wasn't this blanket covering Yoongi's naked body just a few hours ago?
He wakes up alone.
Surprisingly it doesn't take them long to see each other again, in fact it only takes a day for Jungkook to appear in Yoongi's bedroom once again late at night. It becomes sort of a daily routine for them- one of them pops up in the other's room, they'd talk for a while, some nights they just stay awake staring at each other or kiss until they're both out of breath. They fall asleep hugging each other not wanting to let go but the ending was always the same, they wake up in their own beds.
Jungkook sometimes feels like he's dreaming. He can't explain how he feels towards Yoongi or WHY he feels that way, and he definitely can't understand why Yoongi seems to feel the exact same about him. The question of why this is happening he doesn't even bother to bring up anymore, Yoongi says they were destined to meet but were taking too long so the universe decided to do something about it and honestly Jungkook doesn't really care why it happens as long as it keeps happening.
"Here" Yoongi says one night putting a piece of paper in Jungkook's pajama pocket "in case you ever need to reach me and the universe decides not to play along" after a quick look he understands it's a phone number but for a landline which was weird but Jungkook wasn't going to question it, it took 2 years of them "sleeping together" for this to happen and he doesn't want to ruin it. He puts the crumbled paper back in his pocket
"Maybe you'll hear from me tomorrow, I need to file a formal complaint about a certain someone stealing the blanket AGAIN" or maybe he just wants an excuse to call Yoongi but he doesn't have to know that
"We'll be happy to help you sir, please contact us tomorrow" Yoongi says while rolling on top of Jungkook "Oh no I think you're freezing, the only thing that can possibly help you is skin on skin contact" and then his putting his hands under Jungkook's pajama shirt
"YOUR HANDS ARE FREEZING GOD"
He knows that Yoongi is joking but he also noticed something is different lately, when Yoongi touches him he gets goosebumps all over. When Yoongi kisses him it's deeper, always looking for more. Now Yoongi is kissing his neck and his hands are trailing on Jungkook's chest. Jungkook's breath hitches when Yoongi's fingers lightly ghost over his nipples and he has to bite his lower lip to not accidentally moan out loud
He can feel Yoongi grinning as he kisses down his neck and brings his hands to fully work on Jungkook's nipples now "Fuck Yoongi your hands are seriously so cold but ugh" he can't finish his sentence when one Yoongi starts twisting and rubbing and his head is turning foggy
"Is this okay Kookie?" Yoongi asks between kisses and starts sucking on his neck, Jungkook can only nod "Can I take this off?" Yoongi shakes his hands up and down to imply he's talking about Jungkook's shirt
"Only if you take yours off too" Yoongi looks at him smiling
"I think that's fair" he says and shrugs off his t-shirt, then starts working on Jungkook's buttons. Sometimes Jungkook thinks Yoongi is so much more mature than he is, he knows so much and he's confident about it, things that Jungkook is shy to even think about. He wants this with Yoongi too, it's the thought of what it means that scares him. Letting Yoongi in like that, trusting him with everything but what if Yoongi doesn't feel the same way? The insecurities always get to him
"I'm doing my best to be sexy while struggling to unbutton your shirt and you're not even looking at me!" Jungkook laughs and unbuttons his own shirt before Yoongi will tear it open for him (and knowing Yoongi he would have) but Yoongi stops him when he tries to take it off
"I can do that part" he's staring at Jungkook's chest making him squirm, starts running his hands on his stomach on his waist until he gets to his shoulders and takes of the arms of the shirt finally throwing it behind him. Jungkook hopes it didn't land on the floor he still needs to sleep in that shirt
He takes this opportunity to touch Yoongi's chest as well, leaning up to kiss him because he can't help the feelings that are going through him at the moment. It's a dirty kiss and Yoongi moans this time because Jungkook has his hands on the lower of Yoongi's back and he let's his fingers move on their own all over.
Yoongi leans down and starts kissing Jungkook's chest, sucking on one of his nipples while one of his hands rubs the other one. Jungkook gasps at the feeling trying not to think about what's happening in his pants even though he can very much feel what is happening in Yoongi's pants because he's rubbing on his thigh
Yoongi slips his hand lower and lower still sucking on one of Jungkook's nipples, he reaches the waistband of Jungkook's pants and playfully just barely slips his hand under it while rubbing up and down on Jungkook's lower stomach and Jungkook is grasping the sheets in one hand, Yoongi's hair in the other. Yoongi finally lets go of his nipple and kisses him again, now both hands play with his waistband and he looks at Jungkook in the eye asking for permission without words ,Jungkook takes a deep breath before he nods.
Yoongi opens his mouth Jungkook isn't sure if it's out of shock or because he wants to say something, but he shakes his head and slowly pulls Jungkook's pants down. Too slowly for Jungkook's liking "Yoongi please" and he can't look because he knows he's rock hard and Yoongi is right there staring at his still covered dick. He can't believe this is really happening
"Breath Kookie breath" right he almost forgot, he inhales sharply and Yoongi finally pulls his pants off along with his underwear which Jungkook was NOT expecting, a whine escapes his throat and he tries to reach out for Yoongi's pants but he just slaps his hands away while going lower and starts kissing up Jungkook's right leg and plants a kiss right over the scar Jungkook has from the day they met
"Not fair" says Jungkook, it's hard to think straight when Yoongi's face is getting closer and closer to his groin. Now he feels a hand getting even closer and Yoongi whispers "Okay?" one of the reasons he feels so safe is because Yoongi is always looking out for him, taking care of him.
"Yeah" he barely whispers too and then Yoongi's hand closes around the base of his cock and Jungkook bucks into his hand trying to hard to stay quiet when all he wants to do is moan as loudly as he can and scream from happiness.
Yoongi gently moved his hand up Jungkook's cock slowly teasing the head and rubbing his fingers on the slit, Jungkook throws his head back, this is nothing like jerking himself off not to mention he hasn't done that in forever because he spends his nights with Yoongi and it was awkward enough when he knew he was alone,now he risks Yoongi appearing in his room any second.
"You're perfect Kook god I'm gonna cum just by looking at you" Yoongi starts going faster
"Fuck Yoongi I can't" he feels like he's going to explode not only from the sensations but so many emotions he was feeling at the same time and his body is going crazy
Yoongi kisses him and Jungkook can't stop himself he can't control it
"I LOVE YOU"
"Shhhh baby my parents will hear you" Yoongi chuckles starts kissing Jungkook's chest again, pumping him faster, harder. He feels it, the heat in his stomach becoming unbearable
"Wait, did you just say you love me?" Yoongi's hand stops for a second and Jungkook starts fucking himself into it, he's so close it hurts
"Fuck baby I love you too, love you so much" and then he's cumming. Yoongi strokes him through it, kissing him all over and Jungkook can't stop thinking about getting up and cleaning after and he's so tired.
Yoongi lies down next to him, both trying to breath normally again. Yoongi is cuddling him hugs him from behind
"You're amazing you know that?" Yoongi whispers right in his ear and Jungkook can't understand why Yoongi is complementing him when Yoongi is the one who did all the work, he just sort of been there and accepted his fate
He turns around to face Yoongi "You're the amazing one, what about you? I want to make you feel good too"
"You don't have to Kookie"
"I want to"
So he kisses him, tries to copy a little bit of what Yoongi did to him. Sucks on his nipples, and kisses down his chest, takes his pants off. But then he does something he knows Yoongi doesn't expect and takes him in his mouth
"FUCK yeah baby fuck" he uses one hand to pump what's left of Yoongi's cock and with his other hand he fondles his balls. It takes a minute and Yoongi is cumming.
Jungkook jumps back accidentally but it doesn't look like Yoongi notices that. His arm is over his eyes and he takes deep breaths
"Are you okay?" it's Yoongi's turn to nod weakly with a huge smile on his face
"So so good Kook, remind me again why we waited so long to do this?" and Jungkook smiles
"I'm so tired Yoongi my eyes are going to fall out of my head"
Jungkook showers first, he was always nervous using the bathroom at Yoongi's house because he shares them with his brothers and Jungkook ran into one of them once in the middle of the night, he was lucky that it was so late the boy didn't even look at him just assumed it was Yoongi. Yet he showers as fast as he can one goal in mind: sleep.
When they're both in bed Jungkook makes sure the piece of paper with Yoongi's phone number is still in his pocket already thinking about calling him tomorrow even though they're currently cuddling and Yoongi is right there
"I hope I made you feel good tonight Kookie I've been thinking about it for a while I just… never knew if you were ready" he kisses Jungkook's cheek and that makes Jungkook start thinking
"How did you know how to do all of… this?"
"Well I guess uhhh I mean" Yoongi flusters and Jungkook turns to look at him
"WAIT, you are a virgin right? I mean we've been together since we were young so you couldn't have done it with someone else or you would have told me right? Right Yoongi?" his heart sinks, he knows where this is going
"Kookie I…. We weren't… anything yet I mean I knew you of course and I cared about you always, but I was… finding myself you know? I didn't do it to hurt you it just sort of happened it's not a big deal'
Jungkook quickly turns away from Yoongi, tears already running down his cheeks and for the first time he wishes he was home alone in his bed. He shouldn't be angry, but he feels betrayed in a way, Yoongi didn't tell him because he knew they WERE something. They were always something maybe it just didn't matter to Yoongi as much as it did to him and maybe that hurts even more. Yoongi doesn't care about him.
"Jungkookie baby please don't be upset"
He wants to disappear so badly why can't this stupid magic work when he needs it to?
Yoongi tries to get him to turn around but Jungkook pushes his hand away, pulling the blanket above his head to cover his face. He doesn't want to look at Yoongi or listen to Yoongi or touch Yoongi, he wants to go home. Even with his head under the cover he brings his hands to his face and starts sobbing, it's embarrassing. Yoongi doesn't give up though, he goes under the covers too and tries to hug Jungkook again and Jungkook tries to shake him off, but the space is so small it's simply impossible. Yoongi starts patting his back trying to comfort him "I didn't mean it Kookie, I love you okay? The others didn't mean anything to me"
This gets Jungkook's attention again and he gets out of bed he doesn't want Yoongi to touch him right now
"Others? As in multiple people?!" his heart sinks a little deeper
Yoongi is also out of bed and is trying to come close again "Don't touch me! Don't you get I don't want you to touch me?!" and Yoongi freezes
"I want to go home" tears running again he sinks to the floor holding his legs up to his chest and suddenly he feels like that scared 10-year-old boy the first time they met
"I'm sorry please baby forgive me"
Jungkook puts his head on his arm shaking back and forth trying to relax
"Kookie?" Yoongi is close to him again and he swears that if he touches him, he might punch him
"I want to go home I want to go home I want to go home I want to go home"
"Jungkook please listen to me I should have told you! I shouldn't have done it at all I know that now but it's in the past you're my future! I want to be with you forever I want to kiss you every minute of everyday I want to wake up next to you every morning I want to hold you without being scared you're going to vanish into thin air any second. I want to go somewhere far away with a beach where we can just have fun together 24\7, I just want to be with you Jungkook, I love you please please look at me"
He wants to look so badly, even though he's so mad at Yoongi ironically the only thing that might help him feel better is one of Yoongi's hugs.
So, he wipes his eyes and his nose on his sleeve and looks up, only to stare at his cold empty bedroom.
He cries himself to sleep that night
The next day Jungkook decides not to call Yoongi, he'll talk to him in person when they see each other that night. He spends the whole day anxious, wants time to go faster.
Finally, night comes and he's walking around his room waiting and waiting and waiting, eventually he sits on the bed checking the clock every few minutes, but nothing happens. He ends up falling asleep - no Yoongi.
Maybe Yoongi doesn't want to see him and that's why the "magic" didn't work, maybe Jungkook with his overdramatic behavior finally fucked up good.
Another night goes by still no Yoongi.
Jungkook dials the number on his phone, his heart beating in his chest – nervous. He presses the finale button and puts the phone to his ear
"the number you have dialed has been changed disconnected or is no longer in service" and the line goes dead.
It takes a few minutes for Jungkook to put the phone down, what now? He can't just go on with his life as if Yoongi never existed. No, He's going to find Yoongi even if Yoongi doesn't want him to. He can say that to his face.
Jungkook gets his laptop and searches 'Min Yoongi'. a bunch of articles pop up but after quickly looking at their headlines he can tell these aren't about his Yoongi, No Facebook, no Twitter, no nothing. Jungkook is determined though he's not going to give up just yet.
This time he googles 'Min Yoongi Daegu' and the first thing that comes up is one of the articles he saw earlier, this time he clicks the link and starts reading
A tragedy in Daegu – house burns down, 17-year-old found dead
"Last night a tragedy struck Daegu when a family's house burnt down, the cause of the fire is unknown yet it seems to have started in the kitchen.
The family managed to get out of the house in time except the youngest son, Min Yoongi 17 years old who was in his bedroom at the time. His family and friends are devastated, he will be missed."
This can't be his Yoongi… right?
He immediately checks the date of the article and sighs in relief, the article was written 10 years ago. He keeps scrolling, gets to the photos of the burnt house and thinks how he never saw Yoongi's house from the outside. And then there's a picture of Yoongi he looks so much like his Yoongi, but he keeps scrolling because he already knows it's not, His Yoongi is 17 years old now not ten years ago and he's definitely not dead. So why is his picture on this stupid article?
Looking back on it there were signs he just completely ignored. Yoongi gave him a landline number… because he didn't have a cellphone? Yoongi has an old computer in his bedroom but he always thought that was because they couldn't afford a new one.
But if this is true and it is his Yoongi that lived 10 years ago then… Is Yoongi dead?
He checks the date on the article again, the fire happened the night before the article was released meaning it happened on October 22nd, 2005 – what was the date the last time he saw Yoongi? Why didn't they ever talk about these kinds of stuff? It's too late to think about that now but one thing he knows for sure
he's going to save Yoongi.
How? He needs to travel back somehow. There must be a way to trigger whatever it is that keeps sending them back to each other.
"Please send me back! Let me save him it can't end this way it can't!" he's yelling at the air
Please Please Please Please
He sits on the floor pushing his legs up to his chest and shakes back and forth, when they first met Jungkook fell and was in this exact position, crying, hoping someone would help him and then he appeared in Yoongi's room. The last time they saw each other He was in this exact position wishing to go home and then he was. This has to work.
He keeps rocking back and forth and quietly whispers "Yoongi Yoongi Yoongi Yoongi"
"Kookie?" he freezes
"Jungkook are you okay? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" there's a hand on his shoulder and he looks up and Yoongi's there, touching him, looking at him, talking to him
He jumps and tackles Yoongi to the ground with a hug, Yoongi just let's out an "Oof" the fall shocking him, Jungkook hugs him harder pressing his face to Yoongi's chest.
"Can't breathe Kook" he lets go in an instant, steps back to look at Yoongi but Yoongi grabs his arms and pulls him back "Don't you dare let go"
"Never" he whispers kissing Yoongi but can't stop the tears because he knows now, how is going to save Yoongi?
"Baby what is it what's wrong?" he's wiping Jungkook's tears and Jungkook can't tell him, so he just shakes his head "Just missed you that's all"
Yoongi laughs "I thought… I thought you're still mad at me" and Jungkook shakes his head again harder this time
"I'm not mad I shouldn't have reacted the way I did it was stupid"
"No Jungkook it's not stupid, I made a mistake and I deserve your anger! I'm a jerk and an idiot and-"
"Please Yoongi no, I love you nothing can change that I just want you to be happy forever with me or without me. I want you to live Yoongi" Yoongi looks at him like he's crazy and he can't blame him
"What are you talking about Kookie? I can't live without you why are you saying that? I'm only happy when I'm with you" he kisses him again and Jungkook wants to cry again but he can't
"Yoongi what's the date today?"
"Huh?"
"The date! What's today's date?"
Yoongi picks up a calendar he has on his desk even though he is still confused
"The 22nd I think? Why?"
Of course, it would be the 22nd who knows how long they have before the fire starts. What if he's making a mistake? What if the reason Yoongi didn't leave his room that night with the rest of his family was Jungkook's fault? He needs to do something now
"Ummm can you get me a glass of water I feel like I'm going to pass out" Yoongi takes one look at him, sits him on the bed "I'll be back in a sec don't move" before he can go Jungkook grabs him and kisses him
"Thanks"
Yoongi squeezes his hand and runs out of the room. The second Yoongi is out of the room Jungkook jumps up closing the door behind him and locks it.
Yoongi can't die in his room if he's not in his room in the first place. He's going to save Yoongi even if it means he'll die instead.
Yoongi comes back and tries to open the door
"Jungkook? It's me open the door" he whispers, Jungkook leans against the door trying to be closer to Yoongi even now
Yoongi knocks once, twice, by the third time he's banging on the door "Jungkook please what's going on? What are you doing?" and then he's kicking the door
"Stop Yoongi! Please just go" and he's crying but it's not because he's scared of what's going to happen to him it's because he knows he's never going to see Yoongi again
"Jungkook" he can't imagine what's going through Yoongi's mind right now, probably thinks Jungkook is still mad or has gone crazy. He wants to get it over with already this is agonizing
"Please I just want to look at you" says Yoongi
Then he hears people running, someone yelling, and he can smell it – the smoke.
"Yoongi let's go! There's a fire what are you doing?" one of Yoongi's brothers is trying to pull him away from the door
"NO! LET GO OF ME! JUNGKOOK!" Yoongi keeps calling his name but his voice is getting further and further away
Jungkook starts coughing, smoke fills the house. Maybe he can still make it outside they'll figure something out to tell Yoongi's family about who he is
He tries to open the door, but the handle is too hot, it's okay maybe this was the universe's plan for him all along. The reason why they met in the first place so he could save Yoongi.
The smoke becomes unbearable and Jungkook tries one last thing, gets to his position and thinks about Yoongi.
Yoongi Yoongi Yoongi Yoongi
Then he passes out
Yoongi, now 31 years old and is on his way to work didn't feel like anything special is going to happen today. That is until he trips on a rock in the middle of the street, leg hitting the sidewalk his suit tears and his knee starts bleeding
"Shit"
"Damn are you okay?" that voice… "That looks like it hurts" and there's a hand in front of him, which he takes of course
Slowly looking at the person in front of him, dressed in baggy sweatpants and sweatshirt. His hair is pretty long almost covering his eyes but is a little curly so it really doesn't and Yoongi gets a front row seat to the beautiful big doe eyes staring at him
"Jeon Jungkook?"
Jungkook is staring at his tattoo and meets his eyes
"Min Yoongi?"
"You're so… grown up" the butterflies Yoongi hadn't felt in years are all coming back, and Jungkook is hot and he thought Jungkook was hot before
"Look who's talking grandpa, are those grey hairs in your fully adult black hair? And a suit? Damn what a loser" He can't stop the smile on his face, so big his face hurts.
"Can I…?" he opens his arms showing his intention as he steps closer to Jungkook and when Jungkook doesn't stop him he quickly throws his hands around Jungkook's waist and pulls him close. Jungkook lets him hold him but doesn't hug him back so Yoongi takes a step back, still holding on but far enough to look.
"Why didn't you come and find me?" Jungkook whispers softly "I waited for you, I thought you forgot about me"
Yoongi looks down feeling a little guilty "I wanted to, I looked you up and everything! I even went to Busan but when I got there… You were 7 years old. I was crushed, I thought I made you up but how could my mind create something so freaking perfect as you? I knew it couldn't be, I knew there had to be an explanation. But it's not like I could go over and start talking to you, they'd throw me in jail say I'm a pedophile which honestly, I sort of felt like I was at the time… I figured one day we'll meet again. I thought it's best to just let you live your life"
Jungkook nods, knows Yoongi has a point. doesn't mean he has to like it. Yoongi phone rings
"Shit. Listen Kookie I have to go to work but let's meet up later if you're free? I'll give you my phone number - here" he takes out a business card and hands it over to Jungkook
"Hmmm a music teacher huh?" it makes Jungkook smile to think about Yoongi teaching music to kids
"Yeah you know how it is, when I went back to school, I thought about all the other kids who feel just like I did, and I want to change that. I want to help them be better." Jungkook smiles proudly
"Wait a second let me check something" he dials the number on the card and Yoongi's phone starts ringing, Yoongi gives him a questioning look "Just wanted to see if this one actually works" Yoongi remembers giving Jungkook his home number all those years ago and wonders if that means Jungkook tried to call him just never got an answer "Nevermind, go to work and we'll meet later yeah?"
Yoongi gives Jungkook a hug and before pulling away give him a small kiss on the cheek "Missed you baby"
Yoongi realizes even after all this time he still feels the same way about Jungkook, he just hopes Jungkook feels the same too
They agree to meet at Yoongi's apartment because Jungkook apparently has roommates, Yoongi tries making the place look presentable- it's not like he has a lot of visitors and it shows.
There's a knock on the door at precisely 8pm and Yoongi wonders if Jungkook has been standing outside for a while but didn't want to look too eager.
He opens the door to see Jungkook dressed in an all-black suit and he has to remind himself: talk first, make out later.
"Why are you wearing a suit Jungkook-ah" he can't help but tease him a little
"I thought you are still wearing your suit and I didn't want to feel underdressed" Jungkook shoves a bottle of wine into Yoongi's hands and walks past him looking around. Yoongi was going to make a comment about how he'd rather see Jungkook wearing nothing but he saves that for later
"Wow a bottle of wine how very adult of you" Yoongi closes the door behind them and looks down at himself in his pajamas "I thought it'd be cool if we were both in our pajamas you know like the old days" he grins
"Are you even old enough to drink this wine?" Jungkook turns to face him and punches him in the arm, Yoongi thinks it's supposed to be funny but that freaking hurt
"I'm 21 Yoongi-ah stop being annoying" but Jungkook is smiling
"Excuse me it's Yoongi hyung for you" Jungkook rolls his eyes and grabs the wine bottle pretending to drink the whole thing and Yoongi just laughs "You know I am 10 years older than you, you're being rude"
Jungkook sits on the couch and Yoongi sits right next to him, so close their thighs are touching
"Are you hitting on me hyung? I didn't know they taught you these things at the 18th century" they both laugh and Yoongi loves this, loves this so much.
"Okay so you know I'm a teacher, what about you? I want to know everything about you" Jungkook blushes and Yoongi smiles tries to stop himself from touching
"Isn't it obvious what I do for a living?" he asks Yoongi and gives him a knowing look, Yoongi shrugs "I'm a firefighter! Get it?" Yoongi's smile drops
"I'm kidding Yoongi damn it was just a joke" and Yoongi just grabs his hand
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me everything that night if you knew? You could have just dragged me out you didn't have to lock yourself in there! I thought you were dead Jungkook! You could have died! There were so many better ways to do whatever it is you were trying to do that night; I assume you knew about the fire right? Did you know all this time about the time difference?"
Yoongi spent years thinking about it, looking back on their nights together trying to remember anything that could have meant Jungkook knew but he couldn't. he's been waiting so long to get answers.
"I didn't know about the time difference I swear! The last time I saw you I already figured it out… You were going to die Yoongi in that stupid fire and I… I couldn't think I just wanted to save you, so I followed my instincts. I know that was dumb, I could have done it better but when I was sitting there waiting I didn't feel sorry because I knew you were safe and that's all I cared about-"
"IDIOT! WHY? WHY IS MY LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOURS?"
"What do you mean why? They just do!" Yoongi gets up from the couch, they were always like this. Fighting because their emotions are simply too much to handle
"I wouldn't regret choosing you even if I had died that day! I would do anything for you don't you get it?" and Yoongi gets it because he feels the same about Jungkook
"Jungkook… I would rather die than live in a world that doesn't have you" Jungkook stands up and opens his mouth to say something but Yoongi doesn't let him and kisses him, Jungkook kisses back. As if no time has passed.
They fall to the couch and kiss each other until they can't anymore, Yoongi pulls back brushing his fingers through Jungkook's hair, on his face, on his lips
"Are you a ghost? That's the only explanation" he whispers in Jungkook's ear
"How can I be a ghost if I'm kissing you? Your theories aren't so great Min Yoongi" Jungkook kisses him again
"It's Yoongi hyung you brat" and Jungkook hits his arm "You have to stop doing that, my arm is going to fall off"
"Oh no then who's going to give me handjobs?" Jungkook is kidding but he forgot who he's talking to and Yoongi brings his hand down to Jungkook's zipper and he chokes
"I'm kidding ugh you old pervert" but he still pecks him on the lips as if saying 'later' and Yoongi smiles into the kiss
They move to cuddle on the bed, never want to let go of each other. Jungkook Yawns and puts his head on Yoongi's chest
"You're not going to disappear on me, are you?" Yoongi asks and Jungkook snuggles closer
"Never"
"Good cause I'm not letting you go"
They stare at each other for a second and Jungkook goes
"So… what are we?" and Yoongi realizes he's going to have to deal with him for the rest of his life. he can't be happier.
