COLD

1: O

"Mommy, that man knocked my chips."

Yoongi' jaw clenched hard and stared down as a bag of chips spilled over his shoes.

His extremely expensive, branded shoes.

A young boy, around the age of 6, was clutching onto his supposed mother's arm, pointing at his chips with a pouty face.

"Say sorry to the man. I'll get you another." His mother shook him off her arm. The boy stared at Yoongi with angry eyes and he crossed his arms. "He should get me another one!" The boy stomped hard on his left foot. His mother rolled her eyes and turned around towards the 7 Eleven behind her.

Yoongi had enough.

Yoongi kneeled down to the boy's eye level and leaned in closer to his ear.

"Boy, if you don't want me in your room tonight, you better stop it."

He looked into the boy's eyes and for a spilt second, diluted his iris into his cornea, turning his whole eye into a shade of jet black.

The boy let out an ear-piercing scream, pushing Yoongi away from him. He smirked and blinked, returning his eyes back to normal. The boy's face was priceless.

A hand pulled Yoongi backwards, causing him to tumble into a trash bin and crinkle his suit.

His extremely expensive, branded suit.

Looking up, he saw Jimin squatting down in front of the boy, who had his hands covering his eyes with tears streaming down his face.

He cupped the boy's head in his hands and tilted his head upwards. The boy removed his hands, revealing his teary brown eyes.

"Hey, kid. There's no need to cry," Jimin said comfortably, stroking the boy's head. "Your mom will come out and get you another bag of chips, and you'll gladly accept it and apologize to this kind man behind me."

Yoongi glared at Jimin and crossed his arms. They weren't really in good terms.

The young toddler nodded his head and rubbed his tears away from his eyes.

"I'm very sorry. It was my fault." He lowered his head and bowed apologetically. Yoongi smirked slightly but quickly stopped before Jimin could see it.

The boy's mother walked out of the store with a bag of barbecue flavoured chips. Her eyebrows shot up and she let out a soft gasp when she saw her son apologizing to Yoongi.

"Wow, you finally... You accepted your mistake." She muttered in surprise under her breath. She turned to Yoongi and Jimin with a smile.

"What did you tell my son to make him so... Responsible?"

Jimin flashed back a bright smile, his cheeks puffing up slightly.

Yoongi rolled his eyes and faced away from her, his arms still crossed.

"A man should own up to his mistakes." Yoongi replied, however he seemed like he was targeting that sentence at Jimin.

"Well, I'll give you this, since my son wouldn't need it anymore." She handed Jimin the bag and bowed slightly. "We won't bother you kind gentlemen anymore. Goodbye."

Both Yoongi and Jimin bowed slightly as the boy and his mother left hand in hand.

"I had that situation under control." Yoongi brushed off dust of his butt and snatched the bag of chips from Jimin

"Really? Not even a thank you?" Jimin spreaded his arms out.

"Ignore him, Hyung. I'll talk to him."

Jimin turned to face his friend who had just appeared from his shadow, quite literally.

Jungkook wrapped a hand around his shoulder and side hugged him to comfort him. But his whole body was ice cold so it felt like a frozen fish was leaning on his shoulder. Jimin carefully stepped out of his embrace and into the sunlight, where it warmed his shoulder back before he got frostbite.

"Oh right, I forgot I could freeze you," Jungkook looked at his palms disappointedly. "I need to learn from Seokjin how to control it." He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly

Jimin rubbed Jungkook's hair and smiled warmly. His dongsaeng was so adorable. His smile reminded Jimin of a bunny, a cute one too.

"About Yoongi, don't worry about it. It's just a small feud."

"But, hyung..."

"Jungkook ah, it's really okay. He's just not... It's his way of life." Jimin stared at Yoongi's silhouette, his bright smile dropping.

Yoongi stared forward, even though he sensed that Jimin was looking at him. He wanted to turn around and run into his arms, but he forced himself to stay strong. He lied to me, Yoongi reminded himself.

"He said he would only love me."
