Brothers Next Door | KookJin

🚪 #12

Jimin was anxiously waiting for his appa and his brother in the living room of their house, since Jin has texted him that they already found Hobi and now on their way home. He was fidgeting with his fingers as he walked back and forth, hoping to calm his nerves this way.

When the door suddenly opened, Hobi came in, with Jin behind him.

"Hyung!!" Jimin exclaimed. Then he ran to Hobi and embraced him tight. "Oh my gosh, Hobi hyung!! I'm so glad you came back alive!! Oh god thank you, thank you, you're alive!! I wouldn't know what to do if something--"

"Chim!! Of course, I'm alive!!" Hobi quickly said as he pulled back from Jimin's embrace. "Why would I be dead?!"

Jin pressed his lips together to prevent himself from laughing, as he found Hobi's annoyed face so funny, and most especially Jimin's pouting face.

"S-sorry. I was just worried." Jimin muttered softly, while rolling his eyes on his brother. Then he turned to Jin, "Where did you find him, appa?"

Jin sighed and walked to them closer, "Well, we couldn't find him in the university so Jungkook suggested we just drive around the town. We looked at every block from the school on the way to the park and passed by this big house. That's where I spotted Hobi on the front lawn of it."

"Oh, okay. Whose house was that, hyung?!"

Hobi just let out a deep sigh as he felt everyone was waiting for him to speak. "I-- uhm, I'm really tired. Can I turn in for the night?!"

"Maybe we should go too.." Jungkook suddenly spoke who was standing just by the door entrance.

"No! No, no!! Hobi, you sit down.. and you- Kookie and your brother, both of you sit down here too! I want to clear these things up!" Jin said, with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

Jungkook sighed and muttered, "Yes, Sir." Then he pulled Yoongi inside.

All of them took their seats in the living room - Jimin and Hobi sitting together, across them were Jungkook and Yoongi. Then Jin stood in the middle and in front of them - enough for him to see all four of them.

"Okay, let me start with you, honey-- I know we had an argument earlier but that's not enough for you to run away, or go somewhere that I don't know about and make me worry. You know that's not a good thing to do, especially at a place that we're not familiar with yet. Now, whose house did you go too and how did you get there?!"

Hobi bit his bottom lip and stared up at Jin, then he looked at Yoongi- who was looking straight at him.

"I-- I uhm- I went there with Yoongi-hyung!" Hobi quickly said which made Yoongi's eyes widen. "I know and trust him, appa. I've met him already in school! So please don't think that I just went with whoever."

Jin, Jimin and Jungkook looked at each other, surprised. Then Jin asked Yoongi, "Y-you asked my son to go to a house party like that?!"

Yoongi took a deep breath first, and tried to assess Hobi's reason why he lied about it. Obviously for him, the guy just wanted to get away with his stupidity and he's asking him for a cover. Yoongi then suddenly came up with a thought, he smirked lowkey at Hobi and said,

"Ah, yes. I invited him coz it's the opening and welcoming party for the new varsity members. I thought he's interested in sports, so I asked him out. I apologize if I didn't ask for your permission to take Hobi there. I thought you knew and that Hobi told you."

Yoongi stood up and bowed ninety degrees before Jin to apologize. Jin was taken aback at what Yoongi said and did - he looked at Jungkook, and the latter looked back at him- clueless too.
