Jungkook takes a moment to speak. "Why did you hug me?"

Yoongi's eyes wander around the room, taking his time to find the right words. He himself doesn't exactly know why he did it. He acted by an impulse, a tied feeling in the deep of his heart.

He clears his throat. "Because ... your Jimin is my Hobi." Yoongi nods to himself. "No one has ever taken him away from me, but I don't know what would have I done without him years ago. I would have never been able to do what you did for Jimin if it had happened to us. I would have given up on myself completely."

Your Jimin.

Jungkook not even in a million years would have thought these words would ever come out of Yoongi's lips.

"I've noticed you're closer. I realised it when Hoseok was beyond heartbroken when he thought you were dead."

A small smile appears on Yoongi's lips and softly says, "Yeah, we're close."

"Has anyone ever told you how did you end up in the hotel? The day you got stucked in that house." He clarifies.

Yoongi shrugs. "You came to rescue me, that's for sure."

"Hoseok came, not us. Namjoon wanted to wait until sunrise, there wasn't enough light at night and it could be dangerous for everyone. On the other hand, if we decided to wait maybe you died. When Seokjin went to Hoseok's room to tell him we would be rescuing you before sunrise, he was gone. He came back a few hours later with you in his arms."

Yoongi snorts and clicks his tongue. "Hoba doesn't stop surprising me, this guy ..."

I wish I could have someone who would risk his own life to save me.

"Everyone can notice he truly loves you."

An awkward silence appears after Jungkook's last comment. He scratches his neck and Yoongi fills his mouth with air, acknowledging this is the first decent conversation he has with Jungkook since he joined the team. Moreover, his brain still processes Jungkook's point of view of Jimin's past.

"You won't tell anyone, will you?" Jungkook asks almost in a whisper.

Yoongi shakes his head. "But there's one thing I don't get. Why haven't you two said anything? I get you didn't trust us, but Jimin?"

"He doesn't remember me. Well, he does, but he doesn't know the kid's me. Yesterday in the hallway he told me he still misses him—me. I told him wherever he is, he misses him too. I asked him if I could hug him, even if it wouldn't be the same because I'm not him."

"But you're him, kiddo."

Jungkook sighs and shuts his eyes closed for a second. "What if he doesn't believe me? What if he's in denial after knowing the truth? What would he think if he finds out Bang PD is the cause of his hell? And the others? I want to finish my mission before telling him who I am, but perhaps ... perhaps he realises who I am sooner. I wish he could, I wish he would."

"Oh, wait—killing Bang PD you said? Count me in, this bastard deserves hell. No one touches Jimin and leaves as if nothing happened if I can prevent it."

Jungkook gulps. "Hold on, are you willing to help me?"

"We're talking about Jimin's life, of course I'm in. He'll regret ever putting a finger on him."

"Seokie, what did you find? Are you about to finish?" Hoseok asks, playing with a small alpaca figure in Seokjin's desk.

"Not yet," he says without taking his eyes off the paper, "why do you ask? Are you hungry again?"

"I just miss spending time with you, Seokie. Can I help you? Please?"
