Yoongi

It was Christmas eve. Jungkook had been living with me for just over 2 weeks. It had been great. I got to see him every single day (not that we didn't see each other almost everyday anyway), and I had learnt even more about the raven haired boy. Like, how he enjoys watching breakfast shows on TV, reading classic novels, and cooking. He loved cooking. And damn. He was good at it. He had been cooking breakfast and dinner everyday since moving in, and I didn't mind one bit. Especially since all I ate before he came was microwave meals and fast food. I had never felt so alive.

Even my anxiety was starting to calm down, simply by just having him around me. I hadn't been having nightmares as much and I had been smiling more. I almost even stopped feeling guilty about not taking my medication, which I had hidden away and avoided for months, even though I knew I needed it. But the pills were energy draining, and made me almost emotionless. And with Jungkook around, making me feel the happiest I had felt in a long time, I had made myself believe that medication was no longer needed. Jungkook was all I needed right now. His calming smile did much more than those small pills ever could.

In short, asking Jungkook to live with me had been one of the smartest decisions of my life.

Today Jungkook and I were doing our Christmas shopping. Or rather I was doing my Christmas shopping, and Jungkook decided to tag along. Jungkook had been organised and already bought his gifts, unlike myself, who always became an un-organised mess during the holiday seasons. Since it was Christmas eve, it was extremely busy at the shopping centre.

"Do you think Namjoon would like this?" I say to Jungkook, holding up a pair of, semi-expensive head phones that were apparently the 'new craze' this Christmas. I never really had to buy any one, gifts at Christmas time, besides my mother and Jin. Namjoon and Hoseok only really became my friend this year, so buying gifts for them is new for me.

"He'll love it hyung, he was actually saying he wanted a new pair." Jungkook said, nodding in approval. I shrugged and put them in the basket. Now all I had to get was Jungkook's gift. Damn, what to get him?

We line up to pay for Namjoon's gift. The store is really busy, and the line is extremely long. We are about halfway to the counter when my phone rings. I answer as soon as I see the caller ID. Mother.

"Jungkookie-ah, hold this for a second?" I ask, and hand him the basket without waiting for an answer. He just nods awkwardly and I mouth a small 'thankyou' before putting the phone to my ear.

"Eomma." I say, rushing my words out. "What's wrong, are you ok? Do you need me to come?"

"Yoongi-ah, calm down. I'm fine." She says laughing a little, but coughing after. I shudder at how sick she sounds, but let out a sigh of relief. "I just, have some news to tell you is all." She says sadly.

"Is it good news?" I ask, my fists clenching. "Or bad news?" She is silent on the other end. Bad sign.

"Eomma." I say. Still silence. "Eomma! Answer, please!" I say, my voice filled with stress. I see Jungkook look at me with worry. He places a hand on my tense shoulders, and I relax a little.

Breathe yoongi, calm down.

"It would be easier, if you came to see me in person baby." She tells me quietly, her voice hoarse and tired. I feel hot tears brim in my eyes. I try not to hyperventilate, my anxiety getting the best of me.

Calm down Yoongi, you're in public. Calm down.

"I'll be there in 10 minutes." I say before even thinking it through. I let out a shaky breath, blinking back tears. Jungkook gives my shoulder a squeeze and I want to hug him to thank him. But I'm frozen with worry.

"It sounds busy where you are. I can hear voices. Are you sure you can leave?" She asks. I sigh and look at Jungkook apologetically.

"I said I'll be there. See you soon Eomma" I say and hang up before she can argue with me. I look to Jungkook, he looks confused and concerned. I take the hand that he has on my shoulder and give it a squeeze.

"I'm sorry Kookie-ah... I'm going to have to ask you a huge favour." I say, still holding his hand. Neither of us let go though.

"Don't worry Yoongi. I'll get the earphones. Just go, that sounded important." He said, smiling a little.

"But Kookie-" I begin, but he cuts me off.

"Just go." He says, and squeezes my hand, before letting it go.

"Thankyou, Jungkookie." I say. "Thankyou so much." And I mean it. I then turn and run to the shops entrance, running to my car and starting it up.

"Please, Eomma, be ok." I say, tears now freely falling as I speed away.
