"So what time do you work from?"
Yoongi asked.

It was after school and Jungkook was panicking, he might be late for work, Yoongi had agreed to walk him to the main road so he could get a taxi.

Then the group would be splitting up halfway there.

"Well after school I go to the convenience store and work from after school to 7 pm, then I go and work at a clothes shop from 7:30 to 9:30 and from there I work a restaurant from 9:30 to 12 pm"

"Somedays I'll work at the convenience store after that, some days I don't work at the restaurant it depends" Jungkook explained.

"Why do work so much??" Jimin asked "bills and stuff like that" Jungkook mumbled "bills? What are you paying for the rent?" Namjoon asked sarcasm clearly heard in his voice.

"Yeah...." Jungkook nodded Namjoon's eyes slightly widening "sorry" He apologized "it's fine, you didn't know" Jungkook said "So your parents... Are they-" Taehyung was cut off by Jimin smacking his arm, but before he had the chance to scold him Jungkook spoke.

"It's fine" It wasn't fine, how was he even supposed to answer that question? Parents? What was that? Jungkook didn't see his parents as parents just as two strangers that he loved like parents.

"They..." Jungkook was struggling to explain, if he said they do drugs how would Jimin react? How would Namjoon and Yoongi react? "They're... They... " His palms were growing sweaty and his heart was beating of his chest.

"Jungkook it's ok" Jimin assured reaching out to place a handful on his shoulder "you don't have to tell us" Jungkook didn't even register the sigh of relief that left his lips "Thanks" He smiled.

That was one of the first times he'd smiled for real in Taehyung's presence.

"Alright, get there safely" Jimin told and then they were on their way to the main road, Yoongi could literally feel Jungkook's anxiety radiating off of him "Jungkook" He called.

" Mmh" Jungkook hummed "Calm down you'll make it in time" He assured it kinda helped but not much Jungkook sighed it was probably better if he didn't think about it.

"Friends... Are we supposed to care about each other?" Jungkook asked, his gaze plastered on his feet being the reason he didn't get to see Yoongi's eyes widen, "I... What do you think your supposed to do in a friendship?" Yoongi asked.

"I don't know, I used to think you are supposed to love and be there for them, but my way of loving wasn't right and they always left.." Jungkook explained.

"Well, how did you love them?" Yoongi asked "see, my parents... When I was younger they used to tell me to do like everything, clean the house, cook when I was old enough, get this get that, they told me it was love, so I thought bossing my friends around was love..." Jungkook sighed

"But then they left and I was told that I was bullying them" He told "is that why you said you don't do friends when you met us?" Yoongi asked stopping as they reached the main road.

"Yeah... I didn't know how to treat them, how to love them" Jungkook sighed "well to answer your question, yes... You are supposed to care about your friends, I love you as a friend, that's why I care about you" Yoongi reached out for a taxi to stop.

"Then... Why did my parents act like that?" Jungkook asked as the taxi stopped in front of them, Yoongi leaned down to talk to the driver and motioned for Jungkook to get in the car, which the younger did.

"See tomorrow" Yoongi smiled lightly, yet Jungkook could see the slight bit of pity on his face, he instantly looked away at his hands, of course, he had to be lying.

He didn't love Jungkook as a friend it was all pity.

And just like that, the walls that were slowly going down were standing tall again.

.・ ゜ -: ✧ :-　　 -: ✧ :- ゜・．

"Thank you, how much is it?" Jungkook asked "the guy already paid" The driver told "oh really, still how much was it?" Jungkook asked "₩16,500" the driver answer "thank you" Jungkook mumbled before getting out.

God was he mad, he had made it pretty clear he didn't want anyone's money yet Yoongi still paid for his cab. And as mad as he wanted to be he couldn't be, as he was late for work.

＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ Chapter 5 ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

I accidentally deleted a chapter and so I had to change this chapter quite a bit because I didn't remember exactly what happened.

But basically, they had gone to Jimin's house to hang out after school, and Jungkook had spoken to the group and said something about people pitying him. I've taken it out but I just wanted to say that just in case there is few bits in future chapters that I've left out so that you guys aren't confused.

Sorry
