chapter 66

"I want to make sure you're comfortable," Yoongi said as he continued to make the boy's bed. Jungkook was quiet, still in awe that he moved into Yoongi's apartment. Jungkook was complaining that he could make his bed, but Yoongi was insisting. "You'll stay in here, and I'll just be down the hall. No one is using this room anyways,"

"Why?" Jungkook asked, too quietly, that Yoongi almost didn't hear him. Yoongi looked up from folding the other's blanket. "Why am I here?"

"I mean, unless you want to stay in the dorms, it's your choice, but I hoped you would stay with me instead," Yoongi teased, and Jungkook's cheek turned a rosy pink. Yoongi held Jungkook's pillow. "I know everything has been scary the last couple of days,"

Jungkook started fidgeting, his hands rubbing together as if he wasn't sure what to do with them. He looked around the room to avoid eye contact. Yoongi walked around the bed after setting the pillow down, and he sat down at the end of the bed. Jungkook looked down at his feet.

"Jungkook," Yoongi started. "It's really your choice, and I'm not going to force you to stay here,"

"As you said, it's either here or back down there," Jungkook sat beside him. "And I prefer it here."

Yoongi grinned. "Let's order that pizza,"

Jungkook jumped up excitedly. Yoongi laughed and followed him into the kitchen. He walked over to the phone that could only call the front desk. The landline couldn't make calls. It rang a few times, and the front desk finally picked up the phone. Jungkook listened as Yoongi requested a pizza delivery. "What do you mean I need permission?" Yoongi scoffed. "I didn't need to last time,"

"I apologize, sir, please hold the line," the male on the other line stuttered. Yoongi rolled his eyes, which earned a laugh from Jungkook.

The worker at the front desk finally returned after a long minute. "Okay, the order has been authorized. There won't be any issues from now on, sir,"

"What's the difference now?"

"Our CEO, Felix, authorized your status," the worker answered. Yoongi raised his brow, looking at Jungkook, who was looking back at him. "Now, what would you like on your pizza?"

"Hoseok let me wander around but always close by, but I would often go farther than I was allowed," Jungkook lowered his chin, trying to hide his grin. "He didn't know about it - or at the time I just thought he didn't care - until Taehyung found me in a book store one day,"

"What happened with Taehyung?" Yoongi asked before taking another bite.

"He let me go, which was weird," Jungkook shrugged. "I was shitting balls, but he said something about he enjoys playing games, I don't know, some weird fetish stuff,"

Yoongi snorted a laugh. "And you met him again here?"

Jungkook's brows furrowed, his pizza completely forgotten. He pressed his forehead against the palm of his hands and groaned. He winced like he was in pain, and Yoongi almost asked him to change the subject. "I don't know," He shook his head. "Maybe. I think we met one time after that, but it feels like a dream - a distant memory. My head's starting to pound just trying to think about it."

"Then don't worry about it," Yoongi said. "It's probably nothing,"

"I guess," Jungkook looked at his hands. "It's almost like it's behind a wall, I know it's there, but I can't remember if I met him again,"

"Taehyung can take your memories away," Yoongi started. Jungkook looked even more confused. "He can use his words to make you believe anything, and he could even make you believe that animals can talk if he's in the mood."
