I Want the Headline

You all had arrived back to the dreaded warehouse. This is where everything had started. As soon as Jin had parked the car he jumped out, skirting around the vehicle to your side. Thinking that he was still happy to see you, you smiled as he opened the door and helped you out. But he had just gently brushed you to the side, his eyes trained on Jungkook. He leaned into the car, grasping two fistfuls of Jungkook's shirt and yanking him from the vehicle. Stunned, Jungkook let himself get pulled out, his confused gaze searching for you. You grabbed onto Jin's arm, as he let Jungkook practically fall out of the car, tugging at his sleeve, "W-wait, what are you doing?"

Didn't Jin understand that Jungkook had been protecting you this whole time? Why was he dragging him all of sudden? One of Jin's hands released Jungkook's shirt and the man stood up, tensely waiting for what Jin would do next.

"Go with Yoongi." Your brother snapped, hand still fisted in Jungkook's shirt collar while he leaned back into the car to grab Jimin and yank him out at well. JImin stumbled out, looking over at you in confusion. You released your brother, leaning down to grab onto Jungkook's hand. He wasn't going to just drag him off to who knows where and expect you to sit quietly with that man who claimed to be Yoongi. Your brother's eyes passed over your intertwined hands with disgust, his mouth twitching in a scowl.

"Let go of Jeon." You murmured, trying to uncurl Jin's fingers from Jungkook's shirt. Where was he taking him? Your brother suddenly turned his head in your direction, facial expression hardened,

"I said go with Yoongi!" He shouted, jerking his hand away from you. Jungkook moved to the side to avoid having his shirt stretched too much and his hand fell from yours. You helplessly looked to Jin, but your brother was uninterested in your opinion on the matter. He had said to go with Yoongi and you should have done that the moment it was spoken, not dawdle and tug on Jungkook's arm.

Yoongi had gotten out of the car, but stayed by his door, quietly watching Jin single-handedly drag two men from the backseat. He has heard the Jin was quite strong but had never really watched it first hand. His thoughts lingered more on why Jungkook and Jimin were just letting Jin handle them in that matter. Was it because Jin was more imposing? Or did it have to do with you? His dark eyes watched you flutter about nervously, your hands refusing to let Jungkook go. Why were you glued to his side?

His eyes passed over Jimin's slouched shoulders. The orange haired man had given up. Yoongi didn't need to think to know that you steered clear of passive people. Next, he studied Jin. Jin was far from passive; he was relentlessly aggressive. And by the way you were tiptoeing around him, it seemed you stayed away from overly expressive people as well. Lastly, Yoongi's eyes flickered over Jungkook. The man pensively watched Jin, but by the set of his jaw and straightened back, it was easy to see that Jungkook was waiting for a moment to pounce. Then there was you; who was all over Jungkook. So there was the answer, you needed a balance. Yoongi suddenly spoke up, his low voice managing to shut everyone else up instantly,

"Why don't you want to come with me?"

Observation over, he finally vocalized the first question that had popped into his mind. He had helped, shouldn't that have racked up some sort of mutual trust? You were inconsistent, he finalized, and it bothered him.

You looked away from Yoongi, focusing back on Jungkook who was quietly watching you work yourself into a frenzy. Jimin was beside him, arm held in a vice grip by Jin who was glaring at you. Obviously still upset that you were still amongst the three men. Jungkook gently reached out, his large hand cradling your face. You sighed in frustration, why wasn't Jin letting him go and why wasn't Jungkook trying to get out of his grip? "This has nothing to do with you. I don't want to leave Jeon." you tossed back at Yoongi.
