BABY BOY | MYG+PJM [DISCONTINUED]

xiii

Big

The five o'clock sun shone down onto the lively streets of Seoul, casting shadows behind tall buildings and a golden hue in the late afternoon. Jimin sat on the small balcony, which overlooked the great city, at his even smaller plastic table. He typed away at his computer almost ferociously, his sheer dedication and adrenaline for getting his mid-term paper finished before the deadline fuelling the speed at which his fingers were travelling. 

Yoongi sat across from Jimin, a white mask hanging below his chin and a thick book in his hands. To Kill A Mocking Bird, to be exact. This book in particular enticed him, the style of writing had a way of captivating his mind, triggering every emotion to bubble up inside of him. He found reading soothing, made even the noisiest of places seem Arcadian, almost. He would lose himself in the pages, allowing his imagination to run wild.

"I give up with university. I give up. I'm dropping out," Jimin announced, shutting his laptop lid with a huff and putting his head in his hands. He remained this way for a few prolonged seconds, before peeking a glance at Yoongi and sighing loudly when he realised the older wasn't paying any heed to him.

"I said, I'm dropping out of university," Jimin repeated, only slightly louder this time. Yoongi simply shook his head at Jimin's risible behaviour. Of course, his lips were upturned, but his head was buried in his book so Jimin couldn't see.

"Hyung, did you not hear me?" Jimin whined, kicking Yoongi's leg slightly with his foot. 

"Oh, I heard you Jimin. Both times," Yoongi replied, eyes remaining trained on his book, although he wasn't necessarily reading anymore. His afternoon would be far more entertaining if he wound jimin up slightly.

"So why didn't you say anything?" Jimin nagged. He was now sat with his legs crossed in the plastic chair; how he managed to contort his legs between the flimsy arm rests Yoongi will never know. 

with a shrug of the shoulders, Yoongi turned the page, stifling a laugh as he heard Jimin push his laptop across the table and get up from his seat. The balcony doors slid open and Jimin snaked in before closing them again, leaving Yoongi alone. 

Yoongi, being the slightly intrusive person he is, decided to read over Jimin's work. He knew he was writing a report on the dance class he had to take, and he knew how stressful it could all be on the younger boy. He was balancing a job, university and paying his share of the bills all at once - it couldn't be easy for him.

After skimming over Jimin's near completed work a few times, Yoongi decided to take Jimin his laptop. He placed his book on the table in front of him and picked up the silver laptop before sliding open the glass door and locating their shared bedroom. He opened the door to find Jimin sprawled out on their bed on his stomach, phone in hand and earbuds in his ears. 

"Jimin?" Yoongi called out to the room. He knew Jimin could hear him when his head twitched upwards slightly.

"Jimin I know you can hear me. What's wrong, baby?" Yoongi slowly approached the bed, placing  the laptop next to Jimin on their white bedsheets. He could tell that Jimin was in a foul mood by the bilious look etched onto his face when he lifted his head to face Yoongi. Jimin pulled his earphones out and set his phone down next to him before sitting up straight in front of Yoongi.

"I just can't do it, Hyung. It's too much work and what I've written is complete and utter shit," Jimin was pink-eyed and lachrymose when he lifted his head to give Yoongi eye contact. Yoongi's heart sunk, he didn't want his baby to feel this way.

"Jimin-ah, I read over your work. What you've written is brilliant, you only need to write an evaluation before you can send it off. I'll help you, if you like," Yoongi offered, pushing the laptop towards Jimin.

"You read my work?" Jimin muttered. He'd never been a very confident writer, especially because Yoongi's speciality is writing. He felt almost belittled and intimidated by this, he felt as though Yoongi would mock and tease him.

"I did, and Jimin it was amazing. You need to be more confident in yourself, love," he reassured the younger. Jimin felt upmost gratitude at Yoongi's wheedling words, although he struggled to be confident in himself. He never had been, but he was trying.

"I try, Hyung, but everyone else is so much better than me,"

"Oh jimin, don't say such ludicrous things. Here, let me help you write this," Yoongi said as he shuffled closer to Jimin, pulling the laptop onto his lap. He opened the document and scrolled to the bottom of the page before asking; "can you give me an overall summary of the class this term?"

Jimin thought for a moment, his brows furrowing together and tongue poking out of his slightly parted plump lips. "Actually, Yoongi-Hyung, can we get food first? My brain will work a lot better if I have some fuel," Jimin asked with doe eyes. Yoongi gave in almost intuitively, closing the laptop lid and reaching for Jimin's phone. 

"What would you like me to order, baby?" He asked. Jimin thought for a few seconds before grinning smugly at Yoongi, to which the elder rolled his eyes and began dialling the number he knew all too well.

"Pizza it is, then," he muttered as the phone began to ring, Jimin squirming giddily beside him.

i'm so sorry for the lack of updates recently ! lots has been happening but i'm back now !! i'm feeling to write a joshler fic, then another yoonmin fic. i have them planned out and I'm excited to start writing !! i may terminate this book soon, as i'm experiencing great writers block; the chapters aren't very planned here which is a slight problem. i'm writing whatever comes into my head and then expanding the idea slightly, which is very stressful as i feel i'm not writing to the best of my ability.

also pride month is over so does that mean everyone's gotta be straight again? bc mama my gay ass is going nowhere xx
