yoongi pulled the black fabric of jungkook's hoodie up enough to hide the dark bruises on his neck―or tried to, at least. he sat against the wall on hoseok's bed, the younger sitting across from him with his legs crossed. yoongi glanced at hoseok, "you told jimin?"

hoseok nodded and chewed nervously on his lip. a pink blush covered his cheeks and he groaned loudly. "yeah, i did."

"i'm assuming he didn't feel the same?" yoongi says, running a finger over a small hole forming along the seams of his sweatpants and looked at hoseok again. hoseok nodded, not saying anything.

"how'd you know?" hoseok asks after a couple of minutes, running his fingers through his bangs. he saw yoongi shrug and cross his ankles.

"you're just being kind of sluggish and you're only like that when you're sad." yoongi says. hoseok wasn't surprised yoongi knew that; in fact, he'd probably be disappointed if the older didn't. they'd been best friends for longer than they can remember and knew each other better than themselves. "even if jimin had returned the feelings but said he wasn't ready to date yet you wouldn't be like this. a little sad, yeah, but not to the point it'd be so noticeable."

"no one else has noticed though," hoseok points out. "i think you're just looking deeper into it."

yoongi raises an eyebrow, "jungkook asked me earlier today if you were alright because you seemed off."

"besides jungkook."

"everyone notices your mood changes, hoseok." yoongi finally says. "everyone in our friend group does. even jimin notices and he hasn't known you for nearly as long as i have or anyone else."

"jimin is observant," hoseok says. "he notices something wrong automatically."

"you're not wrong." yoongi agrees. he sighed heavily and squeezed his eyes shut. "still. so how did it go down?"

"i assume you mean what happened when i told jimin," hoseok says, getting a confirmation nod from yoongi, who watched him closely. "well, i laid back on my bed and was just thinking about jimin and how much i love him, he walks into the room and asks what's wrong...so i told him. he rejected me, but he was nice and soft about it. he looked genuinely upset that he didn't return feelings for me."

yoongi whistled lowly. "man." he mumbled before speaking up, "you know, try to figure out what jimin's turn-ons are. make him fall for you. that's what i did and i'm happier and more in love than ever. just waiting till i become jeon yoongi, really."

"stop bragging about your lovelife, asshat." hoseok pouts and yoongi laughs, continuing to tease hoseok more.
