Mental

21

A/N: I suggest listening to this song while reading this because it just gives off the perfect mood for this chapter.

Yoongi was in his bed, dark circles visible under his bloodshot eyes. His blinds were sealed shut. He was absolutely exhausted. He didn't sleep well the previous day. He was also pissed at Taehyung. So. Fucking. Pissed.

His room was kind of... a mess.

He kinda pushed things off his shelves and off his desk. He kinda got angry after driving home seeing Taehyung kiss Jungkook and decided to knock a ton of shit off where they originally belonged.

Yeah, he was beyond pissed off at that moment.

He ran his hand through his messy blonde hair, sighing loudly and groaning. He then rubbed his sore and watery bloodshot eyeballs.

He was bored. Bored to death. All he was thinking about was why Taehyung had to do that.

Did Taehyung like Jungkook too? But it was impossible. Taehyung was dating Jennie... he had a girlfriend. Plus, the school was pretty bigoted against LGBTQ+. Yoongi figured Taehyung didn't agree with that. So why did he kiss Jungkook?

Was it a dare?

A prank?

What if Yoongi imagined the whole thing because his eyes don't work like they used to?

No, but he clearly saw Taehyung kiss Jungkook. Now, he didn't know if Jungkook kissed back.

Damnit. He wanted to know what the younger did so badly.

Why did he have to be so dumb and drive off that quickly? He could've stalked a little longer...

A/N: He could've stalked a little longer sorry I kinda snorted

Yoongi turned on his side and pulled his phone out, deciding to get on Twitter. He hoped to find some kind of videos to watch that would entertain him.

He scrolled some, seeing some stupid idiot lighting himself on fire and running around like a silly chicken. Yoongi didn't once laugh or smile. He thought it was dumb.

He saw some memes, pretty boring.

Then he saw slime videos. He thought that was the cancer of any social media platform.

Scroll, scroll.

Then— something stopped him. He saw a video thumbnail that.. looked so fucking familiar. It looked like the school hallways. And wait...

He squinted his eyes.

Was that Jungkook on the floor?!

Yoongi tapped on the video, immediately hearing giggling and laughing. The video zoomed in on a boy lying on the ground looking so beat up. Holy fucking shit. That was Jungkook.

Yoongi recognized the other boy torturing Jungkook, it was Sehun. The biggest bitch in the school, besides all his friends.

Jungkook was being kicked, punched, spat at. He saw the younger being called a 'faggot' and that hit Yoongi hard.. since he was called that himself by his own father...

He gasped aloud when he then saw a broom stick end being forced down Jungkook's mouth. Even tears started coming to Yoongi's eyes. He couldn't watch anymore.

Yoongi shot up out of bed, it had been hours since school let out. He didn't show up, but still, he knew it had been hours. It was around 10:20 PM right now. It was raining so hard outside too, but Yoongi knew it called for thunderstorms.

He had to check on Jungkook. No doubt about it.

He went to his phone app and dialed Jungkook's number quicker than the lightning flash that just appeared outside.

"Please pick up... please.." Yoongi mumbled to himself, pacing around his room nervously.

"Hello...?" A faint voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Jungkook?!" Yoongi sighed in relief when the other boy picked up. "Are you okay?!" It was obvious in his voice how concerned Yoongi was, how terrified he was.

"Y-Yes..." Jungkook lied. "Why do you ask...?"

Yoongi swore he heard pouring down rain in the background of Jungkook's voice. Where the fuck was he right now? Was he outside?

"No you're not I can tell. I just- I just saw what happened to you you're on Twitter.. my fucking god I'm worried-" Yoongi admitted in stress. "Where are you?"

"Oh...." Yoongi heard the pain in Jungkook's voice. Shit. It was really bad, wasn't it? "I'm.. in the field...."

The field?? At this time?! How long had the younger boy been there?

Yoongi wasn't going to hesitate any longer. He already was leaving his apartment to go find Jungkook.

"Hyung..." The older heard Jungkook say in a half cry/whimper. Yoongi heard the younger start to break down on the other end with the loudest sound of rain pouring. "I'm on my way, I'm coming I swear-" Yoongi rushed to his car, getting inside and starting to turn the engine on.

"I'm hurting..." Jungkook sobbed into the phone, a tremendously loud crack of thunder was heard through Yoongi's phone speaker.

The older could feel his heart shatter so fucking much. It was aching, he was trying so hard to control his own emotions.

"I'm so sorry..." Yoongi didn't want to choke his own self up but really it was getting more difficult to do that each second. He zoomed his way down the roads just wanting to get his way to Jungkook.

He was also damn lucky his ass didn't get chased by a police car, by the way he was driving. But really, this was an emergency.

Yoongi arrived almost in no time, the heavy rain beating down on his windshield as he did. He parked and ran out of his car, phone in hand. "Where are you?" He could barely see because it was so dark, the rain made it even harder to see.

"Near the- .. t-the huge tree..." Jungkook replied in a heavy tremble.

Yoongi knew exactly where that was. That's where he took Jungkook the first time they came to the field.

He sprinted through the soaking wet grass, seeing an outline of a figure under a tree.

"Jungkook?!" Yoongi went up to the other boy, kneeling down to him so quickly and embracing him tightly. He held the younger so close.

"Hyung..." Jungkook sobbed badly, burying his face into Yoongi's chest as tears soaked his cheeks. His head hurt so bad from crying for hours, the pain crept back up on him and it felt even worse than what it did hours ago.

Why was it always that one word? The last time Jungkook said 'hyung', he broke down crying like a baby. Yet, Jungkook says it again and here Yoongi is, crying like a baby once more.

He felt more guilty than ever. He didn't show up at school. He could've been there for Jungkook but he didn't fucking show up! Yoongi was holding the boy who he deeply has a crush on and he's hurt, crying and shaking. He could've stopped it, damnit! He questioned why he had to stay home. He'd take back anything just to be there at school when this happened. But it was too late.

The boy in his arms was shivering so badly. He felt so cold too...

"I'm here, baby.... I'm here..." The word 'baby' accidentally slipped from Yoongi's mouth, using one of his hands to soothingly rub Jungkook's head.

Yoongi felt his heart shrink when
he realized he said 'baby', but he also just came to the conclusion that he would do anything in his power to protect the younger boy. He wasn't going to let ANYONE touch Jungkook again, never ever.

Yoongi fucked up badly before when it came to Jungkook, and recently he fucked up again by not showing up to school. From now on, he would be there. He would be there through it all. It didn't matter if the clouds were pouring out Niagara Falls at 10 PM at night. Yoongi would be right there.
