SAFE HAVEN, yoonkook

five.

After a good night's sleep, Jungkook was back to his usual self. When Yoongi, as he had promised, went to trim his nails, he struggled and fought against him. The older male was victorious, in the end, and managed to hold the boy down long enough for him to cut them all. When he was done, Jungkook returned to the bedroom and remained there, sulking, until Yoongi yelled out that he was leaving for work. This made the younger male appear at the door, but only so he could glare at the older as he left.

"You didn't come to work yesterday." Hoseok noted when Yoongi arrived at work. Like always, he followed his friend into his office and remained there until they'd finished their early morning gossiping. "Was it Jungkook again?"

"Yeah, he wouldn't let me leave. Literally." The older male chuckled at the memory. "He jumped on top of me twice and wouldn't get off until I promised to stay with him. But we have a deal now, so he's okay with me going to work."

"Do you think we'd be able to see the movie tonight then? If we wait too long, they'll stop showing it and we'll miss out." Hoseok said, looking hopefully at his friend. "And I heard it's really good and worth watching on the big screen.

"It goes late, doesn't it?" The younger male nodded. "Would you mind if Jungkook crashed our date? I just think he might find a way to cut it short if he doesn't come."

"Sure, I guess." Hoseok shrugged, making it look like it was no big deal. "I mean, I'd like to meet the kid who's stealing all your attention from me."

"If it makes you feel any better, he's pretty spectacular."

"You have to behave, alright? And no letting your wings out." Yoongi told Jungkook as he helped him get dressed. Hoseok was outside, waiting in the car at the older male's request. The winged boy nodded as he pushed his arm through the pink jumper. "Hoseok's a nice guy, so you don't have to worry about him."

"But if he sees my wings, will he stop being a nice guy?" Jungkook asked, looking up at Yoongi as the older male practically pulled him in for a hug. He ran his hands down the younger boy's back, making sure the wings were secure under the jumper.

"If I was to tell anyone about your wings, it'd be him. I think after he got past the initial shock, he'd probably be fine." He gave the nervous boy a smile. "Plus he's the only person, besides Nam―"

Yoongi paused as his sentence was cut off by Jungkook's warm palm pressed against his mouth. He stared down at the smaller male, his brow furrowing in confusion. Then, realising what he'd been in the process of saying, understanding rushed through him. He held on to the boy's wrist, pulling his hand away so he could speak again.

"I'm sorry, I won't say his name."

"Good. Are we ready to go now?" Giving Jungkook one more once-over, Yoongi nodded and took his hand. The younger was bouncy and excited as they walked to the door, but when he saw Hoseok's face lit up by the glow of his phone, he paused. Moving closer to the older male's side, he watched the stranger cautiously.

"Don't worry. Like I said, he's a nice guy."

"I know." Jungkook whispered back. However, Yoongi could feel him grow more tense as Hoseok looked up and they opened the door. The older male helped Jungkook into the backseat. When the older went to leave, he stared up at him with wide, nervous eyes.
