Black & Pink | Jikook

Jungkook soared through the hallway. Hoping and praying he wouldn't see Taehyung, the boy whom was in his closet the other night. He still couldn't process anything since that night. He felt ashamed.

Not because he disrespected his father's rules, by hiding a stranger in his room, but because...Taehyung couldn't stay longer. The boy continued to walk throughout the corridor, spotting his locker. He felt like the school day lasted for an eternity as he unlocked his locker, inserting the correct combination.

-swish-

Just before Jungkook could open his locker door, a folded index card flew out, landing on the boy's left foot. The brown haired was slightly hesitant to pick it up.

Just pick it up you idiot. Jungkook scolded himself in his own thoughts.

-

Junk,
Yesterday was perfect. Don't feel bad about having to hide me. I understand, my parents are homophobic too. Maybe I can hide you in my closet sometime ;)

~Taehyung<3

Before Jungkook knew it, he was holding the index card against his chest, gently. Jungkook smiled his bunniest smile, making both his ears rise.

He's out of his damn mind if he thinks that's ever going to happen.

Jimin came home to...

Nothingness.

His mother was probably working again.

She always worked and cooked.

At least that's what he thought.

-

I'm Sooooo...Proud Of You My Sweet Boy! The Manager Of Panda Express, Called Today. He Told Me That YOU GOT The Job! God, You Made Me The Happiest Mother. I'm Out Buying "Things" For The Celebration. I'll Be Home At 7, That's My Latest. I Love You Sweetie!

-Mommy

-

Jimin didn't know he would be coming home to something like this. He didn't know how to comprehend it.

He didn't know if he was happy about getting a job, or the celebration. It was all so much. Too much was going on and he liked it better that way. He had a lot to look forward to.

The boy jolted upstairs to his bedroom, pulling out his pink journal.

-

I got a job! Finally! After 2 years, I finally got one just like an adult should. I've never been this excited over anything before. Life is going great!

-

Life was great.

"Why have you been so distant, lately?" Namjoon asked his younger brother whom was on his way to another shift at his work. The boy didn't understand what his brother was asking him so he just shrugged. "Use your words! You haven't talked to me in two days, Taehyung. Where did you go that night?"

"Like you care. Ask one of your friends where I've been, since you talk to them more than you do your own brother." Taehyung snapped as he rubbed his head tiredly. "I'm out!"

"Stop!" The elder instructed which made his brother stop in his tracks. "Do you have a girlfriend I don't know about?"

"No. I have a job I have to get to, Namjoon." The younger exhaled deeply. "Can I leave now?"

"Go."

Namjoon didn't know when it started. He didn't know when his brother became, a stranger. Taehyung was his best friend. His only brother. His family.

Why didn't they get along anymore? Since the day they lost their baby sister it hadn't been easy.

"He's gotten so, overprotective over me and our little sister since Jisoo passed." Taehyung admitted.

"She was 4 weeks old. It wasn't anyone's fault; why wouldn't he be overprotective?" Chanyeol asked, ignoring a customer's call. He didn't give a damn about people, only his paycheck at the end of every week.

"I meet this guy, named Junk -"

"Junk? The fuck kind of name is that?" Chanyeol chuckled as he placed his chin onto his forearms. "Is that his nickname, or something?"

-ding ding-

The bell had rang which indicated that another customer had came in. Neither Taehyung, nor Chanyeol cared. It was their break time anyway.

"Nah, I don't think so. He's the reason why Namjoon was angry with me the other day." Taehyung  bit his tongue as he saw a familiar black haired boy approaching them.

"I'm Park Jimin, I'm here to be..." The elder's words trailed off as he stopped himself from continuing as he say the tall boy he'd see before. The boy he met had associated with in his class.

"It's you? You're going to be working here?"
