ROSES AND GOLD

" Jungkook! Are you even listening?! Your aunts are planning a family get- together this month." His mother scolds him. But Jungkook still stares at his phone, pouting as he checks the messages he sent, all of them read but not replied to.

" Jungkook -"

" Can I just be left alone? Please?" He says and stands up to head for his room.

" Kookie." Taehyung calls his brother who ignores him. He huffs and turns to face his elder brother, whose head is on his mother's lap.

" It's been a week! I'm sick of seeing him like this! What's going on?"

Mrs Jeon and Namjoon shrugs.

" Maybe it's the ginger headed boy?"

" But Jungkook seemed happy with him." Taehyung scowls and sinks back to the couch, cuddling himself to his mother who smiles and ruffles his blonde hair.

" That's just it with our Kookie. Once he wants something, he just has to get it...and if he does not, he would turn the whole world upside down for it."

" I think we should let him handle his own issues for once. He's an adult." Namjoon says and Mrs Jeon nods.

" Do you think we have been babying him too much?" She asks and Taehyung nods his eyes wide.

" Absolutely!"

***********************

" You mean to tell me that they kissed, and the guy, Yoongi, is now avoiding my brother?" Asks Taehyung through the phone.

" Yeah! But I can't find him! It's like he disappeared in thin hair. I don't see any ginger head-"

Jimin stops talking when he notices a familiar figure walking out of campus...but this time, his hair is a shiny wine red.

" Oh...clever. Got a cat to catch babe. See ya!" he says and smirks, hanging up on a curious Taehyung and jogs towards Yoongi.

He stops Infront of him, causing Yoongi to abruptly stop as well and frown at the other male of his height.

" Hello!" Jimin chimes, flashing his gorgeous smile that curve his eyes into crescents.

" Hi...?" Yoongi responds, feeling creeped out by the happy male.

" I'm Jimin, Jungkook's assistant."

Yoongi's eyes widen on hearing Jungkook's name. He quickly retracts his hand from the handshake and shakes his head.

" Leave me alone." Yoongi turns and walks away, to a different direction.

" Wait!" Jimin walks after him, but Yoongi shows no signs of stopping.

" Sheesh! How does Kook cope with this one?!" He mutters before running to walk beside Yoongi.

" He didn't send me."

" Yeah, right." Yoongi scoffs.

" I'm here as his friend. He shared everything with me and...Yoongi, Jungkook really likes you. I don't know how you did it...but you really won him over."

Yoongi looks down as his feet continue to move forward.

" And he's sad. He misses you. Whatever happened, he has the right to be given an explanation. At least from your side. You going silent on him is killing him Yoongi. If you don't want him, it would be better to tell him openly than stay quiet with no yes or no from you."

Yoongi slows down, before stopping and facing Jimin who smiles softly.

" Jungkook is a great guy. Please, if your heart doesn't want him, let him down slowly. Don't hurt him. Think about it." He pats Yoongi's shoulder and walks away before Yoongi calls him.
