Third Person POV:
Yoongi got up when Taehyung called for him softly, not wanting to disturb Seok Jin. “Let me see you–“ Jung Kook was about to touch Yoongi to scan him all over when realization hits him, for how many times he would forget his situation. “Right.” Jung Kook says, talking to himself before turning to Taehyung who did nothing even after seeing Jung Kook trying to touch Yoongi.
“You didn’t remind me.~” Jung Kook says referring to him being nothing but air for all, Jung Kook hoped that his voice sounded as jocular.
“I don’t want you to get hurt, do anything that could make you feel lighter to become everything easy for your journey.”
Taehyung chewed his bottom lips after saying it directly to Jung Kook.
He was suppressing his tears, he was trying to be tough for Seok Jin. But now that Seok Jin’s energy drained out. There’s no reason for Taehyung to hold back.
But he was wrong when Jung Kook chuckled leading a gaze to Yoongi’s muddled expression. “I am not going anywhere. Let me just remind you that it’s Seok Jin Hyung you love not me.”
“If your heart could change that fast, I won’t allow your near us again.” They’re good at breaking things off easily, it was made for a humor to make their air lighter for them to breathe, but when they starts talking seriously. Taehyung’s statement didn’t work when Yoongi involves alcohol and offered it to Taehyung after having a sip from his can and flipped Taehyung's.
“Don’t kid around and drink it, why would you leave that open beside you–“
“Its for Jung Kook–“ Taehyung was grabbed by his collar when Yoongi’s face was half hard and soft as both of them stood up, they both cry silently. Yoongi’s fist tightened at Taehyung’s collar and even on his free hand.
“Jung Kook– J-Jeon Jung Kook, m-my other family, h-he helped me discovered a lot of emotions. H-Him and Hyung.” Yoongi flumped himself fisting his own hair as he realized how his hopes fell.
He shouldn’t blame Taehyung for an obvious fact that the professionals was rubbing through their faces. No amount of money and success could bring someone’s life into its normal routine.
But money can bring someone's life into agony. How cruel human is...
Yoongi bit the inside of his cheeks. “I never called Jung Kook Hyung, h-he never allows me and it cringed the hell out of me when I tried that we both ended up having good hair awakening all over our body.”
“It was okay to his ears, he wanted to hear that word, I just knew it. T-That deep inside him, h-he wanted someone to call him that.”
“But h-he knows when and how to help me build an assurance to my possessiveness to have that title alone for Seok Jin Hyung. Jung Kook never pushed that on his way, for his own satisfaction.”
Yoongi cracks his voice as he ride along their messed up atmosphere. He lift his head wiping his tears as he looks at Taehyung. “Y-You did that because y-you think he may be here? R-Right?”
Yoongi asks, and as soon as he heard Taehyung humming, he was thankful… “Jeon Jung Kook. If you really want to hear me say that word. P-Please do, t-try everything you can to go back w-with us.”
Jung Kook pierced his eyes to Yoongi as he looks at Yoongi intently. It amazed Jung Kook how him and Yoongi formed such a special bond. How Yoongi could easily judge Jung Kook’s expression, how he could make Yoongi express lots of emotions, its fascinating. “You’re right. I like it when you calls me that.”
“Being an only child didn’t made me look for anything. But when I met you, you filled the space I didn’t know I longed for.”
Breathing, Yoongi swallowed a generous amount of beer. “S-So Jeon Jung Kook, P-Play fair and don’t forced me to humiliate myself in front of Kim Taehyung.”
“That’ll be the last thing I wanted t-to do.” Taehyung looks at Jung Kook with a questionable look.
“Let’s just say when he has an 85 percent of energy and he uses the 10 percent to talk while drinking, it’ll easily eat and drain the remaining 75 percent, he’s most likely say things that he was holding out on his normal days.”
Jung Kook was taken back when Yoongi giggles. “S-Seok Jin Hyung, I still remember how you dumped the coolest guy in our s-school.”
“Y-You should’ve a-asked where he g-got the c-chocolate he gave us before telling him a straight no.”
Again, Taehyung stared at Jung Kook after Yoongi baffled his whine. “He’s talking about Seok Jin’s batch mate who is head over heels at him. But obviously Seok Jin rejected him but still, he is consistent giving Seok Jin gifts, chocolates that Yoongi fancied, he’s consistent even doing that in secrecy that Yoongi could tell easily especially he likes the chocolate so much. For a reason that there’s nothing bad liking free stuffs.”
“Do not get me wrong by this, but Yoongi isn’t really that obedient when it comes to free stuff which is reasonable why Seok Jin didn’t talked back when Yoongi says its Seok Jin who said that saying, which is true.” Of course Yoongi adopts liking free stuff that was given. After all he begs for that when he was at the street.
“Those guys, their taste and eyesight was incredible.” Taehyung says as he tried to picture Seok Jin and Yoongi collecting gifts and chocolates at their locker and table.
“They surely do, and you do have that taste too.”
“Who in the world wouldn’t love someone like him?” They both smiled after Taehyung said that humorous but a factual statement.
Yoongi was murmuring something under his breath. Sometimes understandable, but most of the time, it was all about the three. Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jung Kook and Kim Seok Jin’s situation.
“Kim Nam Joon. He’s your brother right?–“
“He’s calling me Hyung perfectly so don’t go there and do what Yoongi told you. Try and go through everything to go back.” Taehyung’s voice switched, it was hard and wasn’t sounded as a request but an order.
“I’m glad I am not a soldier but a business man, if I am, I might do everything to obey–“
Taehyung ran his hands over his face before swallowing to polished his dry throat, he turns his body as he slapped his lap. Facing Jung Kook completely. “Seok Jin. Seok Jin. Jung Kook how about Seok Jin? You’re nothing but a husband as of the fucking situation you were in! You invests yourself to Seok Jin! You promised! I’m sure you promised!”
“Isn’t it enough? Your parents? Me? Yoongi?–“
“Stop it.” Jung Kook squeezed his eyes as he starts envisioning where Taehyung’s explosion might go– “Jung Kook, all is over now, truth will be told that would solved Jeon’s scandal, your family’s controversy and accusation threw by your enemies! Choi Yeon Jung will pay for what he did and Park’s! As well as the Hope Hospital–“
“Kim Taehyung please–“
Taehyung continued. “Let’s have a drink and–“
Jung Kook curled as he fight for himself not to faint. Time is so precious for him at this moment. “L-Let’s do that then. L-Let’s have a drink and put some peace between us.”
No matter how Taehyung molds himself to act tough to push things through, as soon as Jung Kook pleads for the three of them to spend some time, he couldn’t say no.
