The Ugly Duckling [Jinkook, Minjoon, Taegiseok]

19: Panic

(A/N: Y'all I was so excited to start writing this drama that I wrote this in just a few hours. Wasn't gonna lost again so soon, but.... here it is lmao)

Ages at the moment:

Jin and Yoongi: 20

Hoseok and Namjoon: 19

Jimin: 18

Taehyung: 17

Jungkook: 16

~~~~~

Yoongi was pacing his room. He couldn't eat. He couldn't sleep. He knows he was being dramatic, but he couldn't help it.

He was panicking.

Taehyung's 18th birthday was only about a week away, and that meant they would be getting married soon.

He wasn't ready.

Sure, he had grown to love Taehyung over time, but he felt like it had only been for selfish and superficial reasons. Which wasn't quite true.

He felt like he started liking Taehyung because of his looks and his voice, and he didn't want to be one of those shallow people like his parents. Of course, even though Taehyung's looks as he matured was the cause of the spark of attraction, Yoongi didn't give himself credit for all the time he spent getting to know Taehyung afterwards.

He came to find that he actually really enjoyed Taehyung's personality, but at the moment he felt rushed and all rationality and thoughts have decided to pack their bags and leave.

Of course he wouldn't be able to remember how much he loves Taehyung's personality and start to hate himself for only liking Taehyung's looks. That's just his luck. Makes total sense.

Not.

Hoseok stood stationed in the corner of Yoongi's room, watching with worry as Yoongi paced around, his breathing picking up more and more as he went.

It was just after dinner and Hoseok would have to go to his own room in just a few hours, but Yoongi was really worrying him.

"Yoongi what's wrong?"

Yoongi pulled at his hair and crouched onto the ground, bursting into tears.

Hoseok's eyes widened and he quickly ran over, crouching down beside Yoongi and rubbing his back. "Oh, Yoonie. It's okay," he tried to reassure him to the best of his ability without knowing what the problem was.

"No it's not!" Yoongi was having a full on crisis at the moment. "I'm not ready to get married, Hobi!"

Hoseok frowned at the thought of Yoongi getting married. He didn't need to be reminded.

"You aren't getting married yet, Yoongi. You still have stones time."

"You don't understand what I mean!" Yoongi whined, flopping into Hoseok's arms.

"Then explain it to me," Hoseok hugged Yoongi to his chest. This wasn't the first time he gazed to calm Yoongi down from a mental break down. He knew Yoongi got cuddly when he was upset.

"Arranged marriages suck!" Yoongi wailed. "I don't like feeling like I'm forced to love someone. Taehyung is an amazing guy, and I do think I can learn to love him with my whole heart, but it just feels so rushed and forced."

"That's understandable. Your feelings are completely valid," Hoseok said soothingly, tracing his fingers over Yoongi's hip. "I don't think I would like that either."

"I still feel so young," Yoongi was a little more calm now. "Jin won't get married for at least another two years, and I'm probably going to be married off this year."
