My Protector

6. Progress

“Good evening, how many?” Yoongi swallows hard. He didn't know this would be a fancy dinner. He only wore black skinny jeans, a white T-shirt, and a leather jacket over it.

“Four” Namjoon says with a smile. The man nods and leads them to a table. Yoongi clings to Jungkook’s arm. “You didn't tell me it was a fancy restaurant!” He whisper yells.

The second they're seated at their table, Jungkook intertwined his fingers with Yoongi’s. “It isn't that fancy and don't worry. You look just fine” He whisper yells back making the two in front of them chuckle.

“You two bicker like an old married couple” Jin says, making the two instantly look up. “W-What?” Jungkook is the one stuttering this time. “We do not!” He and Yoongi protest at the same time. Namjoon chuckles and changes the subject. “So what are we getting?”

“Lamb Skewers” Jungkook and Yoongi say at the same time before giggling. Seokjin rolls his eyes even though the smile on his face gives it away. “Aish, you two spend too much time together! You're becoming one goofy human”

All three boys laugh, making Jin feel good.

“Hello, I'll be your waiter for tonight my name is- Oh hi Yoongi-Hyung” Park Jimin greets, flashing an eye smile. Yoongi looks up and smiles softly “Jiminie, I didn't know you worked here” The younger nods with a smile “Just started yesterday”

Jungkook isn't happy, Seokjin and Namjoon are confused. “What can I get you all to drink?’

Everyone tells their orders and Jimin walks away, but not before blatantly checking out Yoongi. Jungkook is angry, Yoongi is oblivious. “Who was that, Yoongi?” Jin asks with a smile. He can see how tense Jungkook is.

“He sits beside me in class, he's new” Jin nods slowly, glancing at Jungkook. “He showed up around the same time as the murders started” Jungkook hisses, making Yoongi frown. “Why do you dislike him so much?”

Jungkook sees the sad look in Yoongi’s eyes and his anger instantly disappears. “I just don't trust him is all, bun. It has nothing to do with you” Even so, Yoongi feels a bit upset about it. Sure, he and Jimin aren't friends, they barely know each other but still it hurt his feelings.

Yoongi stayed quiet throughout the rest of dinner, only answering when Jimin asked if he wanted more to drink. Jungkook knew his possessive nature had gotten to be a bit much. After dinner, Namjoon offered to drive Jin home so they parted ways with Jungkook and Yoongi.

“I get it, I'm an asshole” Jungkook says quietly when he offers to open the door for Yoongi but the older just ignores him. Jungkook sighs when he doesn't get a reply. The whole ride home is silent. When they get home, Yoongi showers and goes to bed.. In his room.

Jungkook doesn't sleep that night. He had gotten used to sleeping beside Yoongi and without him, Jungkook couldn't close his eyes. The next morning was even more rough, Yoongi was laughing with Mrs. Jeon while helping her make breakfast. When Yoongi sees Jungkook, he frowns and goes quiet.

The two boys don't speak at all for the rest of the weekend. Monday morning came around and things were tense. Jungkook kept Yoongi close, as per usual. “You may be mad at me but I will never stop protecting you” Jungkook promises his hyung.
