chase // y.k

iv.

an uncomfortable silence on their table filled the atmosphere, and min yoongi... well, lets just say he's a bit taken aback on how seokjin reacted after he said that. if there is one thing that everyone should know about the popular varsity player and a music major min yoongi, is that behind his cold-like aura and bold remarks, there's his shy and awkward self that sometimes takes over his full of confidence aura. the situation he put himself in is where his awkwardness will enter.

"min yoongi, i am asking you," seokjin said with a raised eyebrow. suddenly, seokjin looks so intimidating right now. and currently, he's re-thinking his life choices. maybe its because seokjin is a year older than him that is why he feel intimidated by him a bit, or maybe not. but yoongi will just pretend that its the former, "what do you mean by that?"

yoongi can see on his peripheral view how jimin rolled his eyes as if he's saying fucking-told-you-so and taehyung who have his palm on his forehead. he took a deep breath before he started to speak, "i mean, we've already met once." lies. it wasn't just once nor twice. heck, after those first two interactions, they always crossed paths. and every time that happens, yoongi would try to approach the younger male. he mean no harm though, but whenever their eyes meet, jungkook, god, jungkook. he keeps running away. that brat won't let him say a single word, heck, not even a hi. like, yoongi gets it. he's an athlete, a runner, very cool. but yoongi can't run that fast for fuck's sake which makes him a bit frustrated. he didn't see him around the campus for a month, and then all of the sudden, he'll see him here. for the first time, he didn't dare to run not until the bell rang.

"he left something in the campus and i  brought it back to him. it has his name on it," yoongi calmly said. it isn't the truth, but its not entirely a lie too. he swore that he saw how jimin and  taehyung relaxed.

seokjin stared at him for a few seconds before hoseok decided to speak, making him shift his look towards hoseok. "you said he was as red as tomato. what did he left, though?" he asked with pure curiosity, "i think its his wallet because it definitely has a name in it. but why would he be that red? what is it that made him embarrassed?"

"woah, hobi hyung," taehyung said with amazement on his tone, "you sound like a detective. thats so cool!" 

"ah, thank you taehyungie!" hoseok grinned widely.

it seems like a light bulb suddenly appeared on top of namjoon's head as he clasped his hands together. everyone on the table turned his head to look at namjoon, as if they are waiting for some words of wisdom from the wise joonie. "i have a hunch that yoongi saw a condom inside jungkook's wallet." or maybe he's not so-wise-at-all joonie.

it wasn't the silence that is being loud anymore, but instead, it was their huge sighs.

"oh, come on!"

the way he hold his mechanical pencil was so gentle, as if too afraid to break it as he stroke some lines on the rough texture of his sketchbook, creating some satisfying sounds as he do so. jungkook's mind wander as he think about leaving his hyungs earlier at the cafeteria. wondering if they're talking about how odd his actions these past few weeks, and if taehyung and jimin decided to betray him and told them the reason why he's been acting like that. not that he doesn't trust the 95 liners but, its just a possibility, alright?

and then his mind suddenly remembered min yoongi. he was also there. what if it was him who told his hyungs? fuck, more reason to avoid him. maybe he should just transfer to other school, but what would he tell to his parents? what reason should he make out as an excuse?

he knows he's exaggerating right now. is he gonna do something about it? yes. and that would be exaggerate more.

jungkook has completely abandoned the sketch he was doing and continued to zone out as he imagine some scenarios that involves of him transferring to other universities. he was so focused on the scenario that he didnt notice someone sat in front of him, because if he wasn't, god knows what would he'll do right now.

it lasted for a while. he really is in deep thought of transferring universities before he finally noticed the man who's in front of him with his head down, his long straight bangs hanging low as he read a book quietly with his back resting on the backrest of the chair. jungkook thought the hair looked familiar, and so he stared for a moment, trying to recall where did he saw that hair.

"are you staring or are you still spacing out?" the man raised his head up to meet jungkook's eyes and- oh. oh dear. it was min yoongi.

jungkook panicked. "don't you dare run." it sounds like a threat, and jungkook was hella scared. and so he obeyed, and sat down properly when he was almost- almost prepared to run out of the library. he was uncomfortable, and he hoped something miracle would happen that will make him disappear out of the man's sight. "you owe me something."

"okay, not really," yoongi added. "they're suspicious, you know? seokjin placed the two juniors on a hot seat." by two juniors, he obviously meant taehyung and jimin. and that was enough for jungkook to be anxious. shit.

yoongi had probably noticed how the younger male is internally panicking right now because he immediately said, "they didn't exposed you or anything, though." the younger sighed in relief, "i almost did."

"what?!" jungkook's sudden raise of voice caused the librarian to shush at him. so, he repeated it again, but this time, he was whisper-shouting. "what? why would you do that?!" his cheeks was red, really red.

"hey, don't worry. i never told them about everything aside from the fact that i did return something you owned." jungkook was about to say something, and he seems really furious so yoongi beats him to it and told him quickly, "i didn't told them anything aside from that. they assumed it was your wallet."

"and?"

"well, namjoon suspected there was a condom hidden in your wallet, hence the reason why... your... cheeks are red when we met..." yoongi mumbled, "like now." it was loud enough for jungkook to hear everything what the older male has said. it made his cheeks even redder if that is possible. jungkook had a hunch that they probably talked about how his cheeks wasnt usually red. is it really that noticable?

the younger male calmed himself down by letting out a huge sigh as he slumped  on the backrest of the seat. well, what happened after he left the cafeteria wasn't so bad compared to the possible scenarios he created inside his head earlier.

"...thank you, i guess." jungkook finally said. and somehow, that made yoongi smile a bit. unfortunately though, jungkook didn't saw it with his head hang low. he checked his watch that was placed on his right wrist, and yoongi saw how jungkook's eyes went wide, "u-uhm, i have to go."

"are you telling the truth this time?" yoongi asked as he watched jungkook take his sketchpad and pens on the table.

without looking at him, jungkook answered, "maybe." and then he ran out of the library before yoongi could even react.
