.Namjoon.

Jungkook told us that he'd go pick Jimin from the hospital and meet Hoseok and I at school. From what Jin told me, Jimin isn't hurt, and that's about it. Hoseok gave Jungkook around $20 to catch a taxi so he and Jimin wouldn't have to walk to school, I didn't think taxis were that expensive, so I was really surprised. 

"So what's going on between you and Yoongi?" I asked Hoseok while securing my scarf around my neck as we started the trip to school. 

"Well..." He trailed on, "I guess we're somewhat... together..?" I couldn't tell if the pink on his cheeks was from the cold him being flustered but I still cheered for him nonetheless. 

"I knew it would happen! I knew you liked him all along!" 

"Namjoon-ah~ it's not like that~" Now he was surely blushing, hiding his face in hands. 

"Of course it is. Why else would sunbae be so attached to you?" 

"Because he's a creep." Hoseok nudged me with his elbow. A black limo pulled up beside us just as he said that, the back window rolling down exposing the person inside. 

"Now is that anyway to talk about your boyfriend?" Yoongi smirked. Hoseok looked over at me with a playfully done face.

"See what I mean?" He softly mumbled at me. 

"Hey Namjoon." Yoongi greeted me as well.

"H-hi.."

"Well are you guys gonna get in or not?" 

"O-oh um," I looked at Hoseok then back at Yoongi who just seemed to be staring lovingly at each other. Well Yoongi staring a lot more lovingly than Hoseok though.

.Jungkook.

I sipped from the bendy straw that was stuck in my soda that i bought from the vending machine. I bought one for Jimin hyung too. I know how much he loves grape soda. Or was it orange? I can't remember, but the can was so bright and colorful that i had to get it. 

I sighed and thought abou- OOH BUBBLES. I ended breathing into the can and got to watch all of the bubbles flood over and onto my uniform. Prettyyy~.

"Jungkook? What are you doing here?" Jimin's mom asked as she and Jimin's dad passed me. 

"Uhhh, I forgah." I mumbled, talking around the straw. 

"Would it happen to be for Jimin?" His dad chuckled. I tilted my head to think before remembering and nodding eagerly.

"What a cutie, we were just leaving after bringing him his school uniform. He's up on the third floor, make the first right, and you'll find him. But go and check him out first." His mom ruffled my hair. I nodded and smiled and let them go, then i hopped from where i was sitting to start towards the front desk. i waited patiently behind the two people in front of me, continuously sipping from my soda until all that was left was that funny bubble noise as i tried to get the final drop. A man glared over his shoulder at me angrily and i happily waved back and continued to try to get the last bit of soda. 

My eyes scanned the open planned hospital, traveling up all of the levels just because the hospital was so nice. Every time i've come here, it was at night so i didn't get to see the hospital through those huge clean windows. Everything was so pretty. 

Oh! There's Jimin Hyung! He was heading to the elevator. I quickly left the line to run to the elevator where i excitedly waited for my hyung. I haven't seen him in soooo long. I missed him soooo much. I wonder if he missed me too. 

"Jungkookie!!" Jimin cheered once the elevator door opened. He was only one in there, allowing him to run right out and hug me. 

"Jimin hyung! I brought you a drink!" I struggled in his grip. 

"Really? F-for me?" He finally parted from me and I nodded while lifting the purple can. "Kook, grape soda is the worst." He giggled but took the can anyway. "Thank you, I appreciate your efforts." 

"Where did you get hurt hyung?" I asked and started to lead the way out. 

"Huh?" He caught up, now walking beside me. 

"You're in the hospital so it must have been bad, what happened? You can tell me, Kookie is good at keeping secrets." I cheekily showed my bunny smile. 

"I don't know what you're thinking but no." He chuckled and hit my arm. 

"I heard Taehyung was  here too, he's the worst. I hope you didn't have to  talk to him." I frowned my lips at just the thought of him. 

"H-he's not that bad, he's o-okay." Jimin looked down at his feet as we finally left the hospital. I looked over my shoulder at him, spotting the light pink across his nose. Okay Taehyung, you want to steal my best friend? You're gonna have to go through me first. 

.Jimin. 

I could feel Jungkook's gaze on me. I didn't want to look him in the eye and lie, the lie would crumble to the ground in an instance at those eyes. What do I tell him? How do I tell him? 'Hey Jungkook, could you kinda not hate Tae anymore? He's kinda my twin.' Ah, what am I supposed to do. 

My eyes had been concentrated on the ground for so long that I hadn't even realized where I was. We were standing at the bus stop now, a crowded bus stop at that. 

"Hey Jungkook, I-" He leaned down slightly, placing his head on my shoulder and a hand on my side almost like a half hug. Every outake of breath left tingles against my neck, the entire situation covering my face in red. 

"You won't ever replace me with Taehyung, will you?" He whispered softly, bringing up his other hand to rest on my waist. One of my hands shakily hovered over his own, eventually cradling his knuckles in my palm. "You won't, right hyung? I'll always be your Kookie?" He shuffled a little, his fringe tickling my ear as he moved. He now looked up at me, almost in a helpless kind of way.  He truly looked like a lost child. 

"N-no one can replace m-my Kookie. Not even Taehyung." I smiled softly. He returned to the hunched over half hug. 

"Can you stay away from him please? I don't want you to get hurt anymore." He whispered gently along my skin. 

"A-ah Kook, the bus is here." I tapped the back of his hand and he eventually parted from me. I smiled warmly at him then started for the line to get on the bus, but not before getting pulled back by Jungkook. He grabbed my hand, slowly locking our fingers together and holding it tight, then lead the way to the back of the line.
