Jungkook's POV

I ran outside to reach the platform. My bag was pounding on my back, I brought it in front of me to hold it and kept running. I saw Jimin looking around to find me, he spotted me and quickly rushed close to me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to get in the train which was about to leave. After both of us had finally got in the train safely, he turned and looked at me quite angry.
"Jungkook!" He finally said out of breath.
"I'm so sorry hyung it won't happen again I promise, I'll always be on time from now on..." I said without stopping. That made Jimin giggle and I sighed relieved. He raised his head and looked at me and that's when I remembered that I had a visible hickey...

-Yayy! Thanks Yoongi!

-Long time no see man! I didn't miss you at all!!

-You're being unreasonable

-You are annoying as hell!!!!

I turned around and quickly opened my bag to find a scarf.

-Yoongi you're dead! Once I get back home you better hide from me!

"What are you looking for Jungkook?" Jimin asked me.
"Nothing hyung! Just... oh never mind  found it!" I said and picked the black scarf I always wear. I placed it on my neck and checked to see if it covered the hickey. "Shall we go to our seats?" I asked Jimin.
He raised an eyebrow trying to find an explanation for me wearing a scarf inside the train, wich wasn't bold at all! But as he couldn't think of something he walked forward. He found two empty seats with a table and he signed for me to come towards him.
"Sit next to the window!" He told me.
As I was ready to disagree he continued. "I'll sit over here!" He said pointing at the other seat exactly across mine that had a view outside the window too. "It's better to be able and look in the eyes person you are traveling with. You can tell if he's lying or not!"
I looked around nervously.
"Just kidding, I wasn't going to interrogate you but honestly why are you wearing this scarf?" He asked.
"I feel like I'm going to catch a cold, so I thought I should protect myself. I don't want to spend the few free days I have with my family laying on my bed drinking tea! My parents wouldn't like that either!" I explained trying to make it sound more specific so Jimin would believe me.
He looked at me trying to figure out if I was lying or not. I assume that he gave up because he changed the subject.
"So where exactly do you live in Busan?" He asked.
I told him the name of the street I was living in and it didn't sound familiar to him.
"I suppose you don't leave near me..." he mumbled. He stared outside the window for a moment, then turned his head to look at me. "Can I ask for a favor?"
"Yes Hyung... what's wrong?"
"You see... I... don't have any friends in Busan, I was bullied too. I don't usually share this with other people. I don't want them to feel sorry for me, or think that I'm weak and i can't protect myself". He seemed ready to cry but he lifted his head with a bright smile formed again in his lips. "But anyway these days are over, is going to be okay from now on! What I wanted to ask you is...since I guess you too haven't got many friends in Busan...would you like to spend some time with me during the vacation? You know go for a walk, come to my house, I think my parents would be really happy to meet a member from the group I'm in. Especially you... you seem really kind and cute." He said and I thought for a moment that he was shaking. "So what do you think?"
"Hyung... you're not joking about it are you?" I asked.
"No... why would I?" He replied
"Of course! I would be really happy to get to know you better" I said without looking at his eyes. I was so happy for his offer and I just wished I wasn't dreaming.
He could be my friend... friend, had I ever something like this? (We don't count Yoongi because that's the most complicated thing in the world)
"So it's settled? Really?" He asked and I nodded shyly.
"Yeesssss!" He kind of yelled and fell on me in his attempt to hug me. "Give me your phone number!" He said.
I slowly named the numbers of my phone number, Jimin then called me so I could have his number.
I was so happy and even though I tried to hide it you could see a silly smile formed in my lips that just couldn't go away! Jimin was happy too but he didn't try to hide it at all.
We didn't talk for some time but I could see that something was troubling him. In the end he asked me.
"I don't want you to think that I like gossiping but it just can't stop bothering my mind".
"What is it Hyung?" I asked him kindly.
"For some reason Yoongi hyung and you seem really close. I can tell, even though you try to avoid one each other you, Jungkook, act differently. When you are with me or the other Hyungs you look down at the floor and don't talk to much. But you almost always try to make Yoongi hyung to take part in the few conversations some members have and... you don't seem to be afraid of him, and honestly he is the scariest from us all. Anyway... so I thought you might know what's wrong with his family and generally why he seems so killer like. Don't get me wrong I think he's a really interesting person but there's something about him that I just can't explain!"
My smile disappeared, my chin started trembling. All bad things started happening... I closed my eyes and got ready to give some explanations.
"So Jimin... Hyung!" I added again almost ready to forget it. "First of all Yoongi isn't scary and I find it really hard to believe that you guys are afraid of him!" I said and realized I forgot to call Yoongi 'hyung' but I just hoped Jimin didn't notice. "But let me explain myself. Do you remember what he said when he introduced himself? He said that he once protected a younger boy that was the kindest thing he had ever done in his life" I said and Jimin nodded in agreement. "That kid was me... he didn't do it only once but a few times. He once brought me back home because I was really hurt... I had visited him a couple of times too. His house was always empty. He never mentioned anything like 'my mom' 'my dad'  and in his house there wasn't the classic big room with a double bed that almost every house has, you know... the Parent's bedroom! That's all I know... but I'm sure for one thing. He doesn't like to talk about it, he doesn't want anyone to know... so please don't ask him! Maybe later, after sometime, when he trusts you completely he'll tell you himself. Until then just try to forget that there's something wrong with his family!"

'You don't know how it felt and feels like... you don't know that feeling, that nobody loves and cares about you'

"That's all I know!" I said again. That voice in my head kept repeating these words.

'You don't know how it felt and feels like... you don't know that feeling, that nobody loves and cares about you'

I remembered that the day he told me everything I didn't really comforted him... and now I felt really bad.
"Excuse me for a minute hyung I need to go to the toilet!" I said and walked towards the bathroom. I opened the door and I got inside the really small and smelly room called bathroom. Then I took out my phone and opened the Phone app. First in my favorites was Yoongi... I pressed the call button and placed the phone next to my ear. He picked up immediately.

"Hey! Is everything alright?" He asked and he seemed worried. I found it really touching and I just couldn't speak. "Kookie? Are you there? Jungkook? Wait I'm going to call you!"
"Yoongi!" I rushed and said.
"Oh Kookie there you are! Why didn't you answer before?"
"Yoongi..." I said again. "I'm sorry I love you!" I mumbled.
"Kookie? What's wrong? You know I love you too! What happened?"
"I'm sorry i didn't comfort you that day..."
"What day, what are you talking about?"
"The day you told me what had happened with... your parents!" I chose my words really carefully and I didn't say family because Yoongi didn't seem to think of them as his family.
"Kookie... what happened how did you remember something like this? And why are you making up things? Why are you saying that you didn't comfort me or whatever? What you did was the best! You changed the subject because you didn't want me to look so miserable... okay? Now please relax and calm down!" He said and I didn't reply I was trying to think of something to say but I just couldn't. "Kookie... I love you okay? Now go back and please don't feel guilty or something... I don't want you to feel sad!"
"Okay hyung!" I said and before I was able to say something else he yelled.
"Yoongi!!!!!"
"I'm sorry Yoongi I forgot... ah! And something else... I really like it when you call me Kookie... please don't call me Jungkook again. Okay?"
"Yes Kookie... of course!"
We hung up and I almost fell down from the happiness!
