Chapter Four

It wasn't long till they reached the fashion store Yoongi frequented. Several brands, all under one roof, just how he liked it. He entered the basement parking, switching off the radio once they were underground, before parking close to the entrance. "Let's have some fun in there, yeah?" Yoongi said smiling over at Jungkook as he unbuckled.

"Y-yes," Jungkook mumbled as he stood up and almost hit his head against the car. He walked to the stairs to go to the shopping location.

"You alright? We can take our time. We'll probably be hungry after this too so we'll head on to the food court after this." Yoongi said, looking over at Jungkook, clenching his fist by his side to not put his hand on Jungkook's back like he was habituated.

"I'm not hungry," Jungkook smiled at Yoongi. Jungkook walked ahead of Yoongi the stairs up while he had to grab the handrail to prevent him from falling down since he walked to fast. Too fast for his weakened muscles to handle properly. He almost fell over his own feet down the stairs but could hold himself good enough. "I-I'm fine," He mumbled as he wiped off the dust from his jeans. Yoongi put his hand on Jungkook's arm and turned him around.

"Jungkook, slow down... Are you okay? Is something bothering you? We have time and even more so if you're not having dinner. Why are you rushing?" Yoongi's eyebrows scrunched together as he searched Jungkook's face for any signs of alarm or just anything that would show he was uncomfortable or triggered or whatever it was that made Jungkook act this way.

"I don't know," Jungkook said. "I just, am really happy after today," He smiled bright. He looked at his hyung. "I'm so happy to be outside again."

Yoongi sighed in relief, "God you scared me..." He locked his arm with Jungkook's, resuming their climb. "This way, you can't race ahead and fall or whatever. If we go down, we go down together," Yoongi said, smiling sideways at Jungkook.

Jungkook laughed at Yoongi's comment. "Let's avoid going down," Jungkook added as he walked up the stairs while locked arms with Yoongi. They arrived the door and walked out to find themselves in a big shopping mall filled with people. Jungkook closed his eyes to restore calmth with himself. "I-it's so c-crowded," he stuttered as he looked around.

"You won't get lost, don't worry. Nobody will bother us, okay? Everyone here is dancing to their own tune. They won't interrupt us." Yoongi said, rubbing Jungkook's arm gently as he led him towards the shops where he thought he'd find the necessary clothes.

"O-of course," Jungkook mumbled following Yoongi to the stores. Yoongi let Jungkook walk around while he picked out clothes he wanted to try on. He had his arms filled with t-shirts and sweatpants as he walked to Yoongi. "C-can you h-help me w-which ones a-are good?" Jungkook asked as he smiled.

Yoongi nodded, "of course, I'm here to watch anyways." He walked up to Jungkook and took some into his own arms so he wasn't as burdened. "I'm going to wait while you try them on, then," Yoongi said, walking towards the trial room. Jungkook started with a white t-shirt with a picture of one or another artist on it. He stepped into a pair of, extremely, comfortable sweatpants and decided he wanted to die in sweatpants.

"T-these are really c-comfortable," Jungkook mumbled happy as he stepped out of the room. Yoongi looked up from his phone, his smile faltering when he saw Jungkook before breaking into a smile again.

"Looks like those clothes are made for you! I'm definitely buying those, I don't care what you say," Yoongi said as he closed the distance between Jungkook and him. He gently pat Jungkook's waist before saying, "but you need to eat more... I'll get the food changed but please, you gotta eat more Jungkook..." He stepped away, biting his lip, eyebrows slightly scrunched into a frown.
