Infatuated, Jikook

"Jungkook," Yoongi says as he catches up with the younger male. He shoves his hands into his pockets. "What was that? Why'd you run away?"

Jungkook sighs. "I shouldn't be associating with a guy like Jimin."

Yoongi tilts his head towards Jungkook and sees the younger clench his fists and glare at the ground. "Why not?"

"He's popular and charming. I'm the opposite," Jungkook replies in a monotone voice.

"And why does that matter?" Yoongi asks.

"Because."

"Because what?"

"Just because."

Meanwhile Taehyung and Jimin get into the former's car, rickety and dusty and covered in scratches.

"Hey, Tae."

Taehyung starts the engine. "Yeah, Jimin?"

"You think Jungkook hates me?"

"Maybe," Taehyung responds, pulling out of the parking spot. "Maybe he does. I mean, you're not all too likeable for a person like him."

Jimin frowns. "What? What's that supposed to mean?"

Taehyung sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "Think about it, dude. You're someone everyone loves for literally no reason--"

"Hey!"

They exit the parking lot and drive down the long street, shops lining the sides. Taehyung laughs, and Jimin's scowl deepens.

"Anyways, you're a popular bastard who gets attention for nothing, and he's insightful and intelligent, yet he never gets what he wants."

Jimin shakes his head. "That can't be true."

Taehyung glances at his friend and shrugs. "Remember that spot on the school newspaper team that a certain someone wanted but another certain someone got?"

Jimin's eyes widened. "Oh fuck." He turns to Taehyung. "I stole that from Jungkook!"

Taehyung smirks. "Now were getting somewhere, captain obvious."

Jimin rests his head in his hands and grunts.

Yoongi, after minutes of pestering, is finally getting a result. "Why does it matter that Jimin is popular or whatever?"

Jungkook sighs and glares at his friend. 'Because things don't work out well for people like me!" Jungkook exclaims. "Happy?"

Yoongi is silent, and Jungkook continues speaking. "No matter what I do or how hard I try to change and be a normal, likeable person, it doesn't work. It'll never work. I am created to lose, and others are created to win, hearts and games and life in and of itself. They own it all."

Jungkook finishes, and his face is red. He sniffles, and his eyes water. He starts crying. Yoongi runs over and holds him in his arms.

Although he couldn't express in words that Jungkook will be fine, that one day he'll win, that one day other people will see how wonderful he really is, he hopes that being there for him is enough.
