The Package || Jinkook

Chapter 20

Jungkook stares up at his ceiling, clearly frustrated, as Yoongi walks in the door. He doesn't react to the new presence and continues to look into nothingness, the feeling of pent up sexual frustration and confusion clouding his senses. Yoongi sits at the edge of the bed and puts his hand on the boy's knee.

"You okay Kookie?" He asks as he catches a glimpse of a wadded up napkin beside the boy. 

"I'm fine. Just thinking" Jungkook replies, taking the napkin and tossing it successfully into the waste bin across the room. 

"Nice shot"

Readjusting his position to be closer to the fragile boy, he breaths out a sigh and flicks the boy in the forehead. The action fails to receive a reaction and that's when Yoongi realizes that something really is wrong.

"Where were you earlier?" A fatherly tone takes over his sentimental one. Jungkook sits up and crosses his arms.

"I was with Jin." Yoongi visible grits his teeth and breaths in deep. 

"And you came in and ran straight to your room why?" The stern voice throws Jungkook off.

"I had to take care of something. Relax will you?" Jungkook gets up and bounces off the bed, his bare feet hitting the cold hardwood floor with a slap. Yoongi gets up as well and grabs onto his shoulder.

"Don't walk away from me while I'm talking to you. What has gotten into you lately?" Jungkook rips his shoulder from his roommates grasp and walks angrily to his closet.

"You're not my father! I don't have to sit here and answer all your questions" he reaches for his slides and slips them on, walking out into the hallway.

"I may not be your father but I'm your friend and I expect some honesty on your part. You storm in here with a clear boner after being at Jin's place and you run to your room, lock the door, and I can guess what happened after. Now what happened at Jin's place!?"

"Fine! I wasn't with Jin! I was with some girl. We made out and then I came here. It's no big deal." Jungkook's lie tastes bitter on his tongue. Yoongi walks in front of the main door to block Jungkook from leaving.

"I'm not stupid Jungkook. You came from upstairs. You didn't lie the first time. Please tell me what's going on or I'll ask Jin."

"Go ahead and ask Jin. Nothing is going on. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm meeting up with Jimin and Hoseok." Yoongi doesn't move. Jungkook rolls his eyes at his stubborness and reaches to push him aside. He shoves him with more strength than initially intended and Yoongi trips onto the ground. 

Immediate regret floods over Jungkook but he can't stop now. He has to see Jin. He needs to see Jin. He looks at Yoongi apologetically before rushing out the door. 

Yoongi pushes himself up on his elbows and stares at the door as it shuts eerily slow. He stays in that position, still and quiet. He listens to Jungkook's footsteps and follows the noise upstairs. 

"Meeting up with Jimin and Hoseok huh?" Yoongi says out loud, picking himself up and dusting off his pants. He feels a slight pulsing in his leg and followed by a sharp pain. He sighs and begins walking towards the door, opening it and limping towards the stairs. 

The frustration that overcomes him as he looks at the flight of stairs causes him so sigh deeply. Step by step he makes his way up, slowly but surely. Each step causes a small influx of pain but he continues to move forward. He has to get to the bottom of what's going on, for Jungkook's sake. He's been suspicious of those two ever since he had a talk with Namjoon.

"Hey Professor Min, how are you?" Yoongi turns around and gives a slight bow to his elder.

"I've been well, thank you for asking Professor Kim. How are things going with your students?" Namjoon provides a shrug as a response, knowing very well that he didn't want to distract the conversation with small talk.

"I had a question for you. I know that Jungkook lives in your quarters and Professor Kim Seokjin lives above you two. How close do you think the two of them are to each other?" Yoongi is surprised by the question but answers anyways.

"Well they're very close. Jungkook didn't have a great father figure during his teen years to Jin and I have been like mentors to him. He's always hanging out with him up in is loft and they enjoy each others company. Why the sudden interest?"  Namjoon scratched his chin inquisitively before shrugging his shoulders and tipping his head, almost like he wanted to plant doubt in the man's mind.

"Well I just saw something strange happen between the two of them. They were in the staff printing room and Jungkook came out suddenly, Jin soon after. I'm sure it was nothing but I wanted to make sure you were aware. Maybe talk to Jungkook about it."

"I'll be sure to do that"

Yoongi makes it to the top of the stairs and begins tiptoeing to the edge of the hall, right by Jin's open door.

"Jungkook what are you doing back?" He can hear Jin ask. Yoongi peaks around the corner to try to get a better look into the room without getting caught. He can only see the tall man's broad shoulders. A hand rests around the older man's neck and he's suddenly pulled out of sight. Confused, Yoongi leans in closer to see what's going on. He can't see their faces but their bodies are very close together, every inch from top to bottom touching. His eyes widen and he reveals himself completely to watch the scene.

Jungkook is in tears, his face in the crook of Jin's neck as he sobs. Jin holds him in an embrace and rubs his back endearingly. 

"I don't know what to do. Yoongi keeps asking questions. I hurt him. I didn't mean to. I love him, he's always been there for me and I hurt him. Why am I doing this? Why can't I control my emotions anymore. I love him." 

Yoongi is in shock by the boys words. He always knew that he was at least curious about men, it was always clear. Yoongi always kept quiet about it because he knew it would be a sensitive topic, especially after what happened with his father. But in love? With him? 

Yoongi steps out of the room with his hand on his heart. 

Jungkook loves Yoongi?

Yoongi disappears down the stairs in a hurry, the moment still occurring between the two men. 

Jin pulls away from Jungkook and tilts his head upwards.

"I know you love him Jungkook, that's why you're scared. You're scared for him to judge you, for him to know about this side of you. You don't want his perceptions of you to change. But because you love him, you need to tell him about what you've experienced, what you've experienced with me. He's going to be upset, remember he's like your father, he'll definitely hate me for awhile, but you need to be true to yourself. Tell him, only when you're ready."

"I'm not gonna be ready for awhile hyung." Jin leans down and kisses him, caressing his cheek.

"You don't have to be ready right now. All you need to do is apologize." Jungkook nods and grabs Jin's face, pulling it to him and kissing him back with a needing ferocity. He pushes him backwards, steps leading them into the privacy of Jin's bedroom, lips remaining together as Jin kicks the main door shut.
