Dahlia - SOPE

「Chapter 19 」

Yoongi held the straps of his backpack, trying to build up the courage to talk to someone normally again without turning into a nervous wreck.

He had tried to talk to Namjoon, Jimin, and Taehyung, but every time he'd approach them he'd turn the other way.

Yoongi couldn't talk to people without knowing there was someone who he loved by his side.

And- well..that wasn't working well for him.

"Hey Yoongi!" Jimin exclaimed, smiling brightly.

Yoongi nervously smiled, awkwardly waving. "H-H.." he looked at the ground. He wasn't used to talking to people like he used to.

It had been 2 weeks since he talked to anyone but Jin and his mother.

Jimin sighed. "You're still not talking?"

Yoongi's lips quivered, not taking his eyes of the ground.

Jimin frowned, pulling Yoongi into a hug. "You know Yoongi..maybe you should try talking to Hoseok. I bet He misses you."

The thought of Hoseok made a part of Yoongi's heart beat. But also made one side crumble and die of sadness and anger.

"Why would h-he miss m-me? H-He's the one wh-who—.." Yoongi stuttered, cursing at himself for stuttering but also praising himself for finally talking- even if it was only half a sentence.

Jimin sighed, grabbing Yoongi's hand. "Come on."

Yoongi's eyes widened, he's mind telling him not to follow- but his feet not stopping.

Jimin brought Yoongi to a certain locker. A certain locker that was open, and had someone standing behind the door.

"Seoook" Jimin sang, Hoseok emerging from behind the door.

"Jimi—" Hoseok stopped mid sentence, noticing the same small boy that would always have a place in his heart.

"Yoongi.." Hoseok mumbled, staring at Yoongi with a blank face.

Yoongi gave Hoseok a small smile, pulling him into a hug.

Hoseok stood there, frozen. He didn't know what exactly to do.

Jimin smiled, watching this unfold. He didn't realize that Hoseok was uncomfortable.

That he didn't know how to react.

"I-I missed you.." Yoongi admit, looking up at Hoseok shyly.

Hoseok chuckled awkwardly, looking away for a moment. "Uhm.." he paused. "Yoongi don't you remember..?"

Yoongi raised an eyebrow. "What-?"

Hoseok looked down. "Uh- how do I word this.." he thought for a moment. "Oh! Yeah- we broke up. Get it inside your head." He shut his locker, walking away.

Yoongi stood there, dumbfounded. His eyes were big, wondering why Hoseok had been so snarky toward him.

Jimin's eyes saddened, placing a hand on Yoongi's shoulder. "Let's go talk to Jin."

Yoongi teared up, nodding as he entered Jimin's embrace.

Seokjin sighed, thinking. "Could he have found out-?"

Yoongi looked worriedly down at his feet. "I-I hope not.."

Jimin scoffed. "Can y'all tell me wtf 'hE fOuNd OuT' means-? I cant help you guys if you aren't gonna explain."

Seokjin shook his head. "It's hard to explain."

Jimin rolled his eyes. "Annoyingg-"

Jin sighed, grabbing his phone and deciding to check his social media app.

Maybe stalking Jungkook's page a little bit would give him some info on what's up with Hoseok.

The last picture Jungkook had posted was a picture of him and Yoongi at the carnival they went to a couple weeks ago.

He shrugged, swiping to see the other images attached to that post, only to see something that gave him the all the answers.

"Jimin, when are you going to go meet your parents again?" Seokjin asked.

Jimin raised an eyebrow. "Uh, in like 2 weeks during spring break. Why-?"

Seokjin shut off his phone. "I'm going with you. So is Yoongi."

Jimin chuckled. "Why the hell would you wanna go to Busan?"

Seokjin shrugged, smirking. "To teach a certain someone a little lesson."
