Sleepover // YOONMIN

65

This one evening there were more than usual customers at seokjin's restaurant. He was single handedly doing all the work. Jungkook hadn't returned home from college yet. He urgently needed him home but he didn't have time to even look at his phone.

The main door had opened and jungkook had appeared. Seokjin was really thankful, that he showed up right on time.
But apparently jungkook was in a different mood altogether. He just walked off into his room without acknowledging the unusual rush along with seokjin who had immediately asked him to get working.

Seokjin was confused looking at the younger but he couldn't really argue at this point. His hands were full. He continued to work, just a bit furious.

Within 15 to 20 minutes of complete silence from jungkook's room, he had appeared again. Without uttering a single word, he started helping his brother.
- jungkook-ah? Are you okay? You're weird today. Seokjin asked while his hands were still working.
- hmm. He nodded. I..want to talk to you later. Jungkook said.
- sure.

After wrapping up their work, when they finally sat to eat together, seokjin asked again.
- what's bothering you?

Jungkook had zoned out.
- hey, I'm talking to you. Seokjin said taking his hand in front of the younger's eyes.
-uh..huh yeah. What happened?
- that's exactly I'm asking you? Seokjin said.
- hyung, I wanted to talk to you.
- yeah, what is it? Who did you wrong? Just tell me their name, I'll beat their ass.
- wait. It's not that. Actually...I..I was thinking I should enroll for this course.
- what course? He asked.
- boxing. He said.

Seokjin laughed whereas jungkook was looking at him with a serious face.
- are you really thinking about it?
- yeah why not?
- because you're already good at it, you keep punching me anyways, why do you need to attend the course.
- hyung, I'm serious. I want to. I need to keep my mind from any kind of stupid thoughts. Jungkook said fidgeting with the chopsticks in his hand.
- is it about Jimin? Seokjin asked.
Jungkook looked at him in shock, wondering how did he know, but he only nodded slightly.
- I met with him recently, that's how I know. Seokjin said.
- oh.
- you should enroll yourself for the course. He said.
- yeah, so the trainer is dad's friend who's going to carry out training for a month. Jungkook said.
- are you planning to live with dad? He asked.
- yeah. Isn't it better? He offered me to stay!
- that's nice. You're gonna have a great summer. Seokjin said smiling.
- I hope hyung. I was just worried about you being all by yourself here for a whole month.
- you don't need to worry. I'll manage. He said.
- yeah and you have namjoon hyung to take care of you, I have nothing to worry. Jungkook giggled.
- well he's a baby himself. Seokjin smirked smiling at himself.

Jimin was having a bad day, he got into a fight with one of the customers and then got scolded by the manager there. It wasn't his mistake, the manager knew it too but he still yelled at him. Later, when Jimin was done with his shift the manager apologized, telling him it was important to not upset the customer and therefore he was being scolded.

He was so annoyed with his day after that incident. He tried calling Yoongi so he could rant about it but Yoongi was busy to even check his phone.

As always when Jimin had a bad day, he took a nice hour long hot water bath.
It always helped him relax.
He hadn't had a talk with yoongi the whole day and it bothered him. They were used to being together most of the time, he knew Yoongi was really working hard but even a glimpse of him would make him feel good. So he took out his phone, going through his gallery full of their pictures.
