"I'm really thankful, Yoongi," Jungkook says with big eyes. He shifts his weight back and forth as he fiddles with the hem of his shirt.
Yoongi ruffles his younger cousin's hair, offering him a smile. "Don't worry, Kook. I was just messing with you. I know you're nervous about being here, a new place, on top of making the jump from high school to university. You aren't a kid anymore, so I won't treat you like one. But that doesn't mean you'll be alone. Hobi and I have your back, okay?"
Jungkook nods shyly, pushing his black hair behind his ears—a habit of his he still hasn't rid himself of.
Hoseok can't help but grin at how cute the cousins are. "Hey, I'm still in college myself. So I know how it is. I came here from Gwanju, Yoongi, from Daegu. So we understand that this place can be daunting. But luckily for you, you don't have to pay for a dorm. You get to live here, with us. That's not so bad, is it?"
"Not at all." Jungkook chuckles, starting to feel lighter. "I don't think this will be a terrible experience. I'm just... nervous, but I guess you're well aware of that... haha..."
The eldest puts his hand to his chin in contemplation, the black bucket hat on his head casting a shadow over his features as he does so. He thinks, wondering what could make this process easier for his cousin.
Jungkook has always been shy. Yoongi knows this. Up until some years ago, the teen had selective mutism, only really able to talk to his mother and his dog. But music changed that for him. At about eleven, Jungkook fell in love with music, the world suddenly giving him his voice, the young boy instantly falling in love. It helped him find his voice.
But Jungkook is not one hundred percent sociable and comfortable with people—especially in new settings. Jungkook the singer and musician is different from Jeon Jungkook, the normal human. So this will only make things harder for the raven.
If only we could break him out of his shell before classes start. That would be the goal, Yoongi thinks. Jungkook likes music... what else?
Yoongi closes his eyes, remembering how Jungkook begged to stop for milkshakes on the way home. Then, it hits him.
