Jeon Jungkook was off limits. Everyone knew that. The football team,the teachers and hell even Jungkook knew that. But the one thing he didn't know was why. He didn't know why everyone avoided him like he had some sort of disease. Jeon Jungkook was...

"Yes?" Jungkook answered looking to the owner of the voice. Taehyung stood a few feet away holding a few bags. He had a blonde girl with him, and Jungkook felt a pang he didn't understand. "Oh. Hello Taehyung"
"What're you doing here?" Taehyung asked. He had a bright smile on his face, but Jungkook shifted his eyes to Taehyung white sneakers,
"Nothing. I'm just shopping with my broth.."
"Who's this?" Yugyeom interrupted. Jungkook hadn't noticed him exit the store, but he'd returned with a small shopping bag.
A"Woah man. You're Jeon Yugyeom" Taehyung grinned. "You're a legend at school. I'm the new quarterback, but I'm no where near as good as you used to be." It was almost funny to Jungkook to see the boys Like that. Taehyung towered over him, but even so Yugyeom had at least two inches on the quarterback.
"Yugyeom, this is Kim Taehyung from school." Jungkook introduced him, and Taehyung held out his hand for a handshake, but Yugyeom just stared at it his face void of emotion.
"We should get going." Taehyung recovered,
the forgotten hand through his hain. "I'll see you at school, Jungkook."
"Like hell he will." Yugyeom stated when the couple was out of earshot.
"Yugyeom?" Jungkook asked after a silent ride home from the mall. "Are you mad at me?"
"No."
"Are you sure?" Jungkook asked again.
"Yes"
"You seem mad." Jungkook pressed.
"Well maybe I am mad." Taehyung's voiced raised slightly.
"What are you mad about?" Jungkook's voice rose to meet it. Yugyeom had a harsh voice, Jungkook's sounded more upset than angry, and it made carrying strength in an argument difficult.
"I told you not to see him anymore."
Yugyeom grunted.
"And I told you you're not in charge."
"Well I am" Yugyeom shouted, "Man's gone. Dad's gone, Grandma and Grandpa are gone. You need someone to take care of you, so I'm in charge."
"I do not!" Jungkook countered.
"Well clearly you your decision making is severely challenged."
"I can do what I want when I want."
Jungkook insisted.
"Not while I'm alive." Yugyeom practically screamed. "And if you don't Like that, you can leave."
"You're my brother, stop acting Like my father!" Jungkook turned and sprinted back up the stairs to his bedroom. He flopped on the bed and buried his face in his pillows. Sometimes Yugyeom could be incredibly annoying and it bothered Jungkook. Their grandparents had said they fought like an old married couple, and Jungkook figured it must be true. After a few moments of laying on the bed there was a knock at his door.
"Jungkook? Could I come in?" Yugyeom asked.
"Fine." Jungkook responded quietly. Yugyeom opened the door and walked over to the bed. Jungkook sat up to look at him, and for once Yugyeom held his gaze.
"I'm sorry, I got carried away." Yugyeom Let out a large breath, and sat down on the bed next to Jungkook. "I know I can be a little..."
"Annoying?" Jungkook finished for him
"That too." Yugyeom chuckled, "But I was to say protective. It's just..." He Lifted his hand to his face, and rubbed his forehead. "I lost dad, and I lost mom, and I can't lose you too. I just can't." Yugyeom's voice cracked and he sounded like he was on the verge of tears. This was the first time he had ever been so open about his feelings. Jungkook Looked into his blue eyes and saw something Yugyeom almost never showed: vulnerability. "You have to just... just trust me on this one. You need to just stay away from him, if not for yourself then for me."
"Yugyeom..."
"I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. I really don't. I can't..." Yugyeom's upper Lip quivered, and Jungkook wrapped him in a tight hug rubbing circles on his brothers back.
"You're not going to lose me. You can't get rid of me that easily." Jungkook stated, and Yugyeom let out a snort of laughter. "But if I'm going to trust you, then you need to trust me."
"I do trust you. It's him I don't trust.'
"I can handle myself, and I'll tell you if I can't." Jungkook obliged.
