The next day Yoongi and Jimin walked to school together, like they always do. Today Yoongi wore the jacket he bought over his school blazer.
As they got to school, he saw his friends waiting outside so he waved to get their attention. It worked and they all made a space for Yoongi to stand with them. Yoongi looked to Jimin who seemed nervous.
"Hey" Yoongi said as he stood next to Seokjin.
"Ooooh~" Hoseok came closer to him and felt his jacket, looking at it up and down. "Is this new?"
"Yeah, Jimin helped me pick it "
"Oh, really?" Hoseok stepped back and looked surprised. But then he smiled. "It's nice"
Namjoon coughed, drawing the attention to him. "Right, lets go inside"
"Hey, um, Yoongi hyung""Yes, Taehyung?"
"Are you going to drink that?" The said boy pointed at a bottle of flavoured milk that sat on the table next to Yoongi.
The older looked at it before pulling a face. "Of course not" he said. He had bought that especially for his best friend. "It's Jimin's"
"Where is he?" Taehyung asked after a moment as he looked around the cafeteria.
"I don't know at the moment" Yoongi replied frowning. "He was with me a second ago"
"Ah.."
"But he'll be here. "
Taehyung nodded slowly and looked down to his food. Everyone else was eating and chatting about other things. Taehyung soon joined their conversation.
Yoongi on the other hand, wondered where Jimin had gotten too; one minute the boy was next to him and then next minute he wasn't.
"Hyung" Yoongi heard a familiar heart warming voice. His eyes immediately searched the room but couldn't find him.
That was until a boy's face leaned over his shoulder and faced him in the eyes.
Yoongi was slightly taken aback with how close Jimin was but nonetheless he was always happy to see him. He watched Jimins thick, plump lips form into a smile before he backed away and sat on the seat next to him."Ah, Yoongi-hyung, you bought me my milkshake again?" Jimin smiled despite sounding uneasy.
The older frowned. "Why, do you not want it? I thought it was your favourite?"
"It is! I mean-I really would drink it hyung.. but-"
"Hyung?" Taehyung butts in. Yoongi holds in any frustration on how he always interrupts Jimins speech and turns his head to see all his other friends staring at him.
"What? What is it?"
"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked.
"Yes. Why wouldn't I be?"
"You were-" Jungkook flinched and let out a small wincing sound; hoseok, who sat across from Jungkook, had stamped on his foot. It was pretty obvious to Yoongi , he saw it happen.
However he didn't know why."We were just checking on you" Hoseok smiled. "Jungkook said you looked a bit pale"
"Right. Well, I'm fine."
And with that, Yoongi turned back to Jimin who avoided his eyes.
As the two were walking home, Jimin was awfully quiet. Yoongi wasn't going to lie-it worried him a bit as the boy was usually the most lively person you could ever meet, he's usually jumping up and down like a small child, he's usually commenting on something, or giggling about Yoongis expression, he's usually... just talkative.Well...I guess he wasn't today.
Yoongi was now nearly home and had gotten to the point he couldn't bare the silence anymore. But before he even opened his mouth, as if the younger had thought the same thing, Jimin spoke.
"Yoongi-hyung?"
The said boy coughed to clear his throats before answering. "Yes?"
"Do-" Jimin started but quickly stopped himself just to start a new sentence. " if I went away... would you be okay without me?"
Yoongi took a moment to process what the younger had just asked him. He furrowed his eyebrows, stopped walking and turned to Jimin, who had already stopped too. "What do you mean went away?" Yoongis mind went crazy for all different reason-all that he could barely explain. He didn't want Jimin to go away. He wanted Jimin to stay here, with him. "Are you moving? Are you going to live in America? wait you're not moving to Norway are you? I Know you said you've always wanted to go there too"
"No, no, no" Jimin chuckled lightly. It almost sounded sad. "I'm not moving to America or Norway. It was just a general question.." he met with Yoongis eyes , his own looking slightly glossy.
Yoongi definitely felt his heart clench. "Then why are you saying this?"
"No r-reason.. I was just wondering if you'd miss me"
"What?"
"Would you miss me hyung?"
Yoongi didn't know whether to feel relieved or worried. You could say he felt a little bit of both but he felt more thumping in his chest than anything. "Of course I would Jiminnie. Don't think for a second I won't"
The younger smiled. It looked sad too.
However, Yoongi ignored it and slid his hand down from Jimins arm to the boys hand and intertwined their fingers, causing Jimin to glow red.
"Come on, let's get home"
