Stay with me/Yoonkook

Chapter 22

yoongi and jungkook entered the school together and the first thing they saw was yoongi's friend standing by the school gate. hoseok was the first to notice them and walked toward yoongi, hugging him.

"It's been days. where were you?" hoseok asked his eyes set on jungkook as he hugged yoongi. jungkook felt awkward so he looked down fidgeting with his sleeves. yoongi backed away from Hoseok's embrace and looked at him dead expression.

"I don't need to tell you where I have been," yoongi said sternly. jungkook looked up at yoongi. he was not expecting yoongi to stand against his friends.

"excuse me," hoseok said confused.

"I am getting late for the class. let's go jungkook." yoongi said and walked away from hoseok who was standing there surprised. jungkook followed yoongi after smirking at hoseok who was looking at him with eyes that could kill him.

yoongi walked fast to get away from hoseok. he wanted to talk to him but not in front of jungkook. he didn't want to spoil his first day back.

"hyung" junkook called yoongi.  he had to run to catch up to yoongi. when he finally reached him, he stood in front of him stopping him in his way. yoongi's expression was serious and he looked at jungkook surprised.

"what is it jungkook?" yoongi asked his voice not hard but not soft either. jungkook got so used to yoongi calling him baby or just koo that his name sounded so foreign in his mouth.

"you're angry," jungkook said with his puppy eyes and reached for yoongi's hand. when his fingers met yoongi's warm skin he saw yoongi looking at their joint hands and then around him to see if anyone was watching them. and it hit jungkook that they never establish what they were. they were husbands at home but in school? in school they had been rivals all their lives and how it would affect yoongi's image if they were seen close like this. 

"I am sorry," jungkook said and quickly took his hand back, not meeting yoongi's eyes. All this time yoongi remained silent.

"you should go. your class is about to start" jungkook said and turned around to leave but a hand on his wrist stopped him. he looked back and saw yoongi looking at him.

"koo," yoongi said softly and walked closer to jungkook. due to the difference in their height, jungkook had to look down to meet yoongi's eyes and when their eyes meet, jungkook saw only warmth in his eyes. yoongi intertwined their fingers and let out a sign.

"I am not angry at you. I saw hoseok and remembered all the shit he had done to you and it made me so angry. I wanted to punch him right there but I didn't want to spoil your mood so early in the morning. but hoseok pissed him off so much. he was my best friend I didn't expect him to stoop so low. he hurt you -" yoongi rambled with a pout, his thumb gently rubbing jungkook's knuckles. jungkook smiled thinking how wrong he was to think that yoongi cared about his image more than him. he hated his mind that repeatedly doubted yoongi when yoongi had done nothing but show kindness to him. 

jungkook couldn't help himself and wrapped his arms around yoongi and pulled him closer. the corridor was empty no one was there except them. yoongi was surprised but wrapped his arms around jungkook later. 

"you don't have to explain anything to me," jungkook said in yoongi's hair. yoongi sighed and hugged jungkook tighter, his head resting securely on jungkook's chest. at that moment yoongi realized, he needed jungkook as much as jungkook needed him, or maybe more. he never knew what comfort was until he found his home in jungkook's arms. jungkook broke the hug and looked down at yoongi who was looking at him with the softest eyes. jungkook smiled at him.

"it's 9:30 yoongi I am pretty sure your class started." jungkook teased him.

"fuck" yoongi said and got away from jungkook who was smiling teasingly at him.
