Jungkook is having a heart attack.

Why is he having a heart attack you might be wondering?

Let's start from the beginning.

Jungkook was going on his biweekly shopping trip with Jimin and this time Taehyung had decided to tag along.

"So... how's it going with Hoseok hyung?" Jimin asks and Jungkook could hear the smirk in his voice from inside the dressing room.

"Oh!" Taehyung pipes up. "You have a crush on him, don't you, Kookie?"

"Wha- N-No, I-"

"Don't even try denying it. We can all tell, we're not fucking blind, you know? C'mon, Jungkookie, you can trust us, we won't tell him."

Jungkook pouts even though no one's around to see him. "Fine, but you have to promise not to say anything to Seokie hyung," he says while sticking his pinky out of the heavy curtain. He feels one slightly chubby finger twine around his own, Jimin. When Jimin lets go of Jungkook's pinky, Jungkook adds, "You too, Tae Tae hyung." But he puts his hand flat this time. When he feels Taehyung's hand run into his, initiating their special handshake, he quickly goes along with it even without being able to see Taehyung who's standing on the other side of the curtain.

"Kookie, are you almost done? I wanna see how cute you look," Jimin whines petulantly.

Jimin had chosen a new outfit for him. A blush colored pleated skirt paired with a thick, light cream colored sweater. Jungkook felt like it was unnecessary to indulge his desire to wear dresses and skirts when he barely had a chance to wear them, but he liked the way they made him feel. Pretty.

He looked at himself in the mirror, seeing the way the hem of the skirt fell to mid-thigh against his smooth, hair-free legs. It felt soft, not scratchy like other materials felt sometimes. The sweater, as thick and as large as it was, couldn't hide his broad shoulders completely. Most of the time he didn't care too much, he knew it was impossible to cover up the frame of his growing body, but today he felt more sensitive than usual. Thoughts of Hoseok swirled around him. How he would react with disgust if he knew Jungkook liked him. How repulsed he would be if he knew how Jungkook liked to dress. Unbeknownst to himself, he began shedding tears. He couldn't hear the sob that wracked his body.

But Jimin and Taehyung heard it clearly, and, not a second later, they were pulling the curtain open and rushing into the large changing room to wrap their arms around Jungkook's small shaking body. He buried himself deeper into them, muffling his crying.

They stayed there, on the floor of the changing room, until Jungkook's wails turned into tiny whimpers. Jimin pulled Jungkook back to take a look at his red, puffy eyes and the tear tracks that streaked his blotchy cheeks. Taehyung wiped off his wet cheeks with his thumbs while caressing his face in his large, tanned hands.

"What's happened, Kookie?" Jimin asks eyes reflecting his pity toward Jungkook.

"H-Hoseok-"

"What did he do?" Taehyung states calmly but there's a clear threat behind his words.

"No!" Jungkook is quick to deny. "I m-meant... S-Seokie hyung is going to h-hate me once he f-finds out about... e-everything." Jungkook's voice trembles as he speaks and it's heartbreaking for Jimin and Taehyung to watch.

"Jungkookie, Hobi hyung is a good person. He's never going to hate you."

"Yeah. How would anyone be able to hate a cutie like you?" Taehyung practically coos, eyes softening at the insecurity in his friend's eyes.

"Also," Jimin drawls with a mischievous sparkle in his eyes, "Hoseok is basically in love with you anyway. He's always calling you baby and pulling you into his lap."

Jungkook starts when he hears Taehyung's loud laugh in his ear.

"Let's be realistic here. If Hobi hyung saw Jungkook in this skirt, he would want to kiss the life out him, but end up fainting from 'how perfect and absolutely adorable Kookie is.'" Taehyung's teasing doesn't end there, of course. "You know those were hyung's words, not mine."

Those words were enough to turn Jungkook's pale cheeks into a nice shade of pink. His self-doubt disappears as quickly as it came, and now he's colored with embarrassment instead.

Jimin joins in on teasing him not missing the perfect opportunity to expose Hoseok. "Whenever you're not around, Hobi hyung only talks about you."

Jungkook blushes harder but he's sporting a soft smile now. The uncertainty returns when he asks, "Do you really think Seokie hyung likes me?"

Jimin and Taehyung erupt with affirmations. All of a sudden Jimin is shaking Jungkook vigorously. "I have an idea!" he shouts. "We should dress Kookie up and send a picture of him to Hoseok hyung."

Jungkook doesn't even have time to refute before Taehyung drags him to his feet saying, "We're going to make you look so pretty that Hoseok hyung won't be able to hold himself back anymore!"
