It was no use. Jungkook needs to talk about this. Again. In person. "So 3pm at your place?" Jungkook asks Yoongi. "Yup. Oh and by the way, a friend of mine will join too a bit later if that's fine with you? His name is Jimin. I've told him about you a few times. He's really good when it comes to stuff like this."

"A man?" he sounds uneasy.

"We're kind of talking at the moment so uh, don't worry about him. He's super sweet and queer and an angel. He would never approach you weirdly. I'll tell him to hold back with the hugs, yeah?" "Thank you, hyung- Wait! Did you say you're DATING?" Jungkook practically screams into the speaker with excitement. "Yo ouch chill", Yoongi hisses at the volume,"we're not dating yet, we're getting to know each other. I like to take things slow you know that." "Well then good luck, hyung. I'm sure he likes you." "You've never met him how would you know, ggukah", Yoongi laughs wholeheartedly. "Alright I'll clean up a bit before you come over. See you then." "Ouuu you really like him huh?" Jungkook chuckles as Yoongi ends the call with a 'tsk'.

It's 3:24pm and Jungkook is spread out on Yoongi's couch, feeling a little too cozy in his close-to-brother's home. They've discussed Jungkook's situation a bit further, it was mostly Yoongi talking tho. He is just a couple years older than Jungkook, yet he has the soul of an old wise man. His knowledge on human psychology is uncanny.

Ding dong

"Shit that must be Jimin." Yoongi stiffens and rubs his hands on his thighs quickly before getting up in a rush to get the door. "You're in looooveee~" Jungkook sings mockingly as he straightens his body to look more presentable to the stranger he's about to meet. The teasing smile on his lips not altering for a second.

Yoongi leaves Jungkook to himself as he speed walks to the door, adjusting his hair in the hallway mirror on the way. He opens the door and there he is. Jimin. But wait. He's not alone. That's the guy from the nightclub, Jimin's best friend. What was his name again?

His thoughts are interrupted when he feels Jimin hug him tightly. He's taken aback but pats the younger's back in return. He looks stiff and awkward but nothing compared to the other male standing behind Jimin.
"Is it okey that I brought a friend with me? I thought because he's my best friend it would be nice if you two, you know, uh, get to know each other more and uh get closer in case-" "It's totally fine, Jiminah." Yoongi squeezes his shoulder assuringly and smiles at his chaotic monologue. "Yoongi, right?" the man speaks, his eyes look sharp yet welcoming. "Yeah that's right. I am so sorry but I kind of forgot your name. I was a bit stressed that night." Yoongi scratches his neck guiltily and Jimin just giggles. "Oh, you're good. I'm Taehyung." "Why are you two still standing outside, come in!"

Jungkook is busy eating the chips Yoongi had prepared for their little therapy session, when he hears faint voices approaching him. Must be Yoongi and Jimin.
He wipes his hands clean on his pants, still munching on the load he had stuffed into his mouth quickly, and averts his gaze towards the door. They enter one by one.
Yoongi
And then Jimin

But then...

"Jungkook?" Taehyung's voice sounds stiff and stuck in his throat as he stops in the doorway with wide eyes. Taehyung isn't the only one feeling something get stuck in his throat. The chips Jungkook had shoved into his mouth earlier make him cough intensely after he had inhaled sharply. "What's going on?" Yoongi interferes and looks back and forth between the two of them with questioning eyes. He doesn't get an answer. Taehyung is mute and his expression is unreadable. Jungkook, on the other hand, is the one to act. Just not in the way Yoongi would've liked. The youngest of them all hastily gets up from his seat and rushes past them, pushing Taehyung slightly, but involuntarily, as he was still standing in the doorway. Jungkook does not dare to look up, he just needs to get away for a minute. Or two. He locks himself into the bathroom and leans against the sink exhaustedly. Deep breaths.
