Puppy Love

15

Jungkook hadn't realized he had fallen asleep until the sound of the door opening woke him up.

"Yoongi," he whispered, carefully shuffling off the bed. Namjoon was still asleep, curled up on the large bed, and Jungkook didn't want to wake him up early. Especially when Yoongi looked the way he did.

"What happened?" He asked, hurrying over to the doctor. He steadied the man, who looked like he was about to faint. "Why are you so dirty and- oh my God! You're bleeding!"

"Shh," Yoongi murmured. "Let's go into the bathroom, Joon doesn't need to see this."

Jungkook helped the doctor sit on the edge of the bathtub, keeping the door open so he could still keep an eye on the sleeping hybrid.

"What happened?" He asked again in a loud whisper. "I thought you were just getting food, not getting into fights."

"Someone from that evil place cornered me." Yoongi winced as he gingerly touched the wound on the back of his neck. "He had a large dog, a Doberman. Clearly trained to kill."

"Shit." Jungkook rifled through the cabinets. "They don't have a first aid kit here. Savages."

"It's fine, just get me a wet towel, please." Yoongi closed his eyes, exhaustion catching up to him.

Jungkook hurried to do that, and glanced at Namjoon as the water dampened the hand towel. He handed it to Yoongi, who groaned when he placed it over the cut.

"What did they guy want?" Jungkook asked.

"Three guesses." Yoongi sighed.

"Joon." Jungkook shook his head. "Why can't they just leave him alone?"

"They know he's here." Yoongi told him. "They know he's in this exact room, with us."

Jungkook's eyes widened. "What?! Shit!"

"Shhh!" Yoongi dabbed at the cut and checked the towel to see if it was still bleeding. It wasn't. "Don't worry though, they won't storm the place and take him kicking and screaming. That will cause attention and they want to avoid that at all costs."

"So what do we do?" Jungkook cast a worried look at the sleeping boy. "As soon as we try to leave this hotel, they'll accost us on the street immediately. And we don't have money to keep this room forever."

"I don't know." Yoongi murmured. "I need to think."

Jungkook nodded. "You look like you're about to pass out. Come on, you said it yourself that we're still safe for tonight, at least. Let's get some rest and think in the morning."

He helped Yoongi to the unused bed. Yoongi yanked off his dirty shirt and pants and climbed under the covers, sighing with tiredness.

Jungkook's heart pounded as he closed the window curtains and shut off the lights one by one.

In the dark room, he slowly got into the bed beside Yoongi and hoped the handsome doctor couldn't sense how nervous he was.

The room was quiet for a while, until Yoongi rolled over so that he was pressed against the students side.

"Yoon-"

Soft lips pressed against Jungkook's cheek, staying there for a moment before pulling back.

"Thank you," Yoongi's deep voice filled the room.

"For what?" Jungkook whispered back.

"Being brave about all of this." Yoongi raised a hand up, brushing Jungkook's hair back gently. "You have more to lose than I do by protecting Joonie. But you've never complained once. Not about missing class or about dealing with Yim alone."

"This isn't about me." Jungkook blushed. "It's so much more important. I could never let those bastards take Namjoon away."

Yoongi was silent.

"Yoongi?" Jungkook rolled over too. He could barely make out the doctor's form in the blackness.

"What if..." Yoongi's whisper sounded different now. More emotional. "What if there was a way to save Joon? To get the bad guys off his back? Forever?"

Jungkook almost laughed. "Then I'd say hell yeah, finally. A damn miracle for once."

Yoongi was quiet. Then; "Yeah."

He snuggled closer to the student, and Jungkook wrapped an arm around him.

Without his shirt on, Jungkook could feel the mans skin. It was soft... and Jungkook couldn't help but run his warm palm up and down Yoongi's arm. His hand slid down Yoongi's side, resting on his waist.

"Jungkook. Namjoon is right there."

Jungkook froze, realizing what he was doing. "Sorry."

He quickly took his hand away, but Yoongi grabbed it and guided it back.

"I didn't say don't touch me." Yoongi murmured, sliding as close as he could to the student. "I said Namjoon is right there."

He leaned in, kissing Jungkook on the lips.

When he pulled back, Jungkook could hear the smirk in the mans voice.

"So stay quiet, okay?"

"O-okay." Jungkooks heart pounded as Yoongi guided his hand lower and lower under the covers.

The doctor threw his leg over Jungkook, practically laying on top of him, and connected their lips again.

As they progressed, Namjoon slept peacefully, enjoying the last safe night.
