「 TWO YEARS AGO 」
jungkook's pov

♞

i run to jyp, not giving a single shit whether guards try to stop me or idols and trainees see me. i need to find jimin. i can't lose him. no, not like this.

❝ jimin! ❞

i yell, banging my fist on the door of yoongi's studio. an unfamiliar man opens the door and gives me a mixed look of terror and confusion. my eyes immediately dart from the stranger to the other parts of the room, completely letting myself in without permission. i look around but jimin is nowhere to be seen. i do find yoongi sleeping soundly on hoseok's lap as the latter sits on one of the maroon leather sofas.

❝ oh, jungkook. hey. what are youᅳ ❞

❝ is jimin here? ❞

❝ what? no. i haven't seen him in a while. ❞

i cut hoseok hyung off before he can even finish his question and immediately dash towards yoongi to shake him.

❝ jungkook! seriously, he's sleeᅳ ❞

❝ i don't give a shit. this is an important matter. ❞

i then continue to shake yoongi, eventually succeeding in waking him up. he jolts awake and abruptly slaps me in the face.

❝ oof. my bad. it's a reflex. you should know it by now that i don't respond to being waken up by others pretty well. ❞

❝ it doesn't fucking matter. just tell me where jimin hyung lives. ❞

yoongi gives me an incredulous look, as if not believing i just told him that.

❝ are you high? ❞

❝ no. just tell me. ❞

❝ i have no fucking clue. and even if i did, i wouldn't tell you. ❞

❝ yoongi . . . please. ❞

for a moment, i see a little bit of the yoongi i knew and loved in the past, back in his eyes. he looks extremely surprised. and so does hoseok and the rest of yoongi's team in the room.

❝ new york. ❞

he finally says.

❝ what? no. not where he's from. i mean like, where is he living right now? ❞

❝ in a few hours, he'd be there. he's going home. ❞
