Chapter 19

3rd person POV

The drive back to the dorms had been awkward and tense. No talking or anything, just the occasional sob from Yoongi as he cried into his hands. Hoseok's heart broke every time, as he regretted ever saying what he did to Jimin. Not only had he not apologized, but he also let his own insecurities hurt Jimin and Yoongi. As the smaller boy sobbed, Hoseok wanted nothing more than to reach over and hug him and tell him everything was going to be alright. But he had lost that privilege.

Yoongi's driver didn't comment on the situation but did occasionally give Hoseok a glare through the car mirror. As they approached the dorms, Yoongi's sobs stopped, leaving tear marks on his face as the two boys got out of the car and walked in awkward silence. Silence that begged to be filled with apologies and forgiveness, but still, neither said a word.

Yoongi quickly unlocked the door of their dorm and speed walked inside, not so much as glancing at Hoseok. Although that hurt the younger boy, he knew he deserved it. They all knew that Yoongi had bad anxiety ever since the incident at the MNET awards show and Jimin had told them that Yoongi likely had a very low image of himself. And Hoseok just got rid of the trust that Yoongi had given him by hurting Jimin and insinuating that their relationship was merely a business transaction. Head hung low, Hoseok headed to Jimin's room to apologize. He knew that he owed Jimin an apology as well.

Passing by Taehyung on the way to Jimin's room, the second youngest boy gave him a strong stare. One that didn't seem malicious or angry, but understanding. Taehyung was the only one who knew about the older boy's trust issues. Hoseok understood that wasn't an excuse for what he had done, but it was simply an explanation. He hesitantly grabs the doorknob before letting go again. He didn't even know if Jimin would want to talk to him. Probably not.

Despite that, he opens the door, painfully slowly, causing a loud squeak from the hinges. Jimin, who was still lying on his bed, watching something on his computer, lazily sits up. Noticing his hyung, Jimin's eyes almost well up in tears before he returns to a more stoic expression.

"What do you want?" The younger boy asks coldly. Hoseok just stands there, blinking, trying to say something. Suddenly the older boy bursts out in tears, and attempts to cover his face with his hands.

"I'm so sorry Jiminie! I'm so so sorry!" The boy cries out, on his knees now, wailing into his hands. He knows this isn't that big of a deal compared to some fights they've had, but it's still pretty bad. Besides, he was known for being the sunshine of the group. Would they hate him if he couldn't always be happy? The answer was obviously no, but Hoseok didn't believe that. He knew he messed up and he just wanted everything to go back to the way it was before. Simple... easy.

Jimin was shocked by his hying's sudden outburst of apologies and emotions and quickly rushed to help his hyung. He could see how bad he felt about what he had said.

"Hey, shhhh... it's okay hyung. It's okay. I forgive you." Jimin says in a gentle voice, rubbing Hoseok's back in an attempt to calm him down.

After a few minutes, Hoseok's cries settle into the occasional hiccup and sniffle. All the boy could see in his head was Yoongi crying while soaked from the rain. It just broke his heart.

"Look hyung..." Jimin says slowly, pointing towards the doorway. Hoseok gaze slowly shifted from his lap to Jimin's bedroom door, where his small hyung stood. Yoongi stared at Hoseok, his bottom lip quivering at the sight of the younger boy. Even though Yoongi hadn't forgiven Hoseok, he felt a connection with him just like he did with the others, that he wasn't going to throw away over some fight. Yoongi walked in and softly hugged Hoseok, burying his head into the younger boy's neck. Jimin smiled as he knew now that everything was going to be just fine. The youngest of the three pet Yoongi's hair as he leaned out of the hug. They all sat there on the floor, just enjoying being with eachother without any tension. Everything was going to be okay... or so they thought.
