Scene 4. Yoongi's room. 7:28 p.m.
HOSEOK and YOONGI are on YOONGI's bed. The atmosphere is tense.
HOSEOK: So... (awkward) You gonna tell me about it?
YOONGI: (quiet) Was hoping you wouldn't ask.
HOSEOK: Hyung...
YOONGI: (sighs) Yeah, yeah. (avoiding the topic)
HOSEOK: Was it what you usually fight about? Or.... (knowingly) something else?
YOONGI: (clipped) Something else.
HOSEOK: Okay, so. What was it?
YOONGI: (finally exploding) He's a fucking asshole. I hate being around him. I hate living in this house.
HOSEOK: (slightly taken aback) Um...
YOONGI: You don't know how it feels, Seok. To be constantly ridiculed, shamed, compared... (emotional) Blamed for shit you can't control.
HOSEOK: (soft) Yoongi, come here. (opens his arms)
YOONGI: (falls into the hug, blinking back tears) It hurts, it fucking hurts so bad Hobi. I hate him.
HOSEOK: Shh. Just forget about him. I'm here, okay?
YOONGI: Okay. (small) You'll stay?
HOSEOK: Of course. I'd never leave you, hyung.
YOONGI: (teary, curling into Hoseok's side) Thank you. For always dropping everything to be here for me.
HOSEOK: That's what best friends are for, right?
YOONGI: Yeah... (bites his lip, about to say something but changes his mind) Night, Hoseok-ah.
Later. Still Yoongi's room. 1:13 a.m.
YOONGI: (quiet) Hobi?
HOSEOK: (stirring) Hmm?
YOONGI: My dad... He um...
HOSEOK: (sits up, blinking awake) Hyung...
YOONGI: No, I need to say it. Please, Seok. (crying silently) I've held this in for so long and now it just hurts.
HOSEOK: (fully alert) Yoongi...
YOONGI: I told my dad that I have feelings for you.
HOSEOK: You–what?
YOONGI: (curling in on himself) We were fighting and it slipped out, I don't even know, and then he was screaming at me and calling me useless and telling me he wished I was never born. He doesn't want a... a f*ggot for a son.
YOONGI: I'm so sorry. I ruined our friendship. I should have never caught feelings. (tearing at his hair) It was just... You were the first person to show me what it felt like to be loved and cared for. (broken) I'm so sorry.
HOSEOK: No, hyung, don't apologize. You did nothing wrong.
YOONGI: (sobbing now) No, Hoseok! That's what you don't get! Everything I've ever done in my life is wrong, never good enough. I killed my mother the day I was born. My father has never forgiven me for that.
HOSEOK: Oh, Yoongi.
YOONGI: I'll never live up to his pride and joy, Jun Ki. It's just a fact. I'll never be good enough for him.
HOSEOK: He's a piece of shit. You don't need him to be happy, Yoongi. Or your brother, for the record.
YOONGI: But they're all I have, Hoseok. They're supposed to be my family and all they do is constantly remind me is how I fucked everyone's lives up when I was born.
HOSEOK: You have me. You've always had me.
YOONGI: (realizing) I do. God, what did I ever do to deserve you? You're a goddamned angel and I'm just some kid who can't figure out his life without screwing everything up.
HOSEOK: (pained) I'm not. Don't say that. I'm not an angel, hyung. But I swear, I'll do everything I can to make you happy and feel like you are worthy of love, because you are.
YOONGI: (still crying, but softly now) I love you so much, Hoseokie. I really do.
HOSEOK: Shh, just come back to sleep. It's late.
It's quiet for a while, and it seems that both are asleep. Suddenly, YOONGI shifts in bed and faces HOSEOK.
YOONGI: You know, I went out for a drink with Jin hyung the other night?
HOSEOK: I didn't, why, did something happen?
YOONGI: He told me that I should make my move.
HOSEOK: Make your move?
YOONGI: Yeah. He's crazy, right? (doesn't even realize he's leaning in, focused on Hoseok)
HOSEOK: Y-Yeah... (licking his lips) Crazy...
YOONGI: (breathless) Guess this is pretty crazy too, right? (connects their lips, Hoseok responds immediately. After a while he pulls away) Wow... Maybe I should listen to Jin hyung more often.
HOSEOK: (in shock, touching his lips) Maybe you should...
