♤CHAPTER SEVENTEEN♤
Togetherly Apart

Today is the first day Jimin has walked to school alone. Flashbacks begin to hit him, reminding him of the anxious morning he had on the first day of school. Now that he thinks of it, he and Yoongi have never left each other at school, and they have been friends for over two, almost three, months.

Jimin sighs as he trails down the hallway, keeping his head down. He looks down at his hand, not knowing what to do with it. Normally, he would have it grabbing onto one of Yoongi's backpack straps but that can't happen for the rest of the week. His vibrating phone draws his attention.

→3 new messages from Yoongles

Yoongles:
Hey Chim
Take care of yourself today okay
Stay strong bud! :)

Reading the messages made Jimin feel warm and tingly inside. He puts his small hand over his burning cheeks. The messages only made him miss Yoongi even more.

It's going to be pretty damn long week.

Jimin rests his backpack next to the desk as he sits down. He glances at the seat next to him. Yoongi's empty spot. Jimin slouches in his seat with disappointment. He pulls out his manga and begins reading, since there isn't anything better to do.

Jimin's focus is at the bare minimum. He can't help but to keep looking at the classroom door, hoping Yoongi would walk through it, but he knows that out-of-school suspended students cannot lay a foot on school grounds until their suspension is up which is next week Monday for him.

He's taken out of his thoughts when a large hand smacks the top of the desk. Jimin glances up to see Yongsun's tall figure tower over him. He gets slightly more intimidating every encounter Jimin has with him like this.

"Jimmy," Yongsun flashes a smirk once their eyes meet.

"It's J-Jimin," Jimin softly replies as he averts his eyes back down at his manga. He can feel the goosebumps across his body and his breath suddenly shortened.

Yongsun grabs the manga and slams it closed. "Whatever," he scoffs as he moves the manga out of Jimin's sight. "So Yoongi truly isn't here today, huh?" His eyes are dark and darted on Jimin's.

Jimin takes a deep breath, trying to calm his anxious self. "Y-You already know," he mumbles in response.

Yongsun's smile widens at the answer. "That means you have no one to protect you, right?"

Before Yongsun could continue talking, the two's attention are drawn to Jimin's phone lighting up on the desk.

→New message from Yoongles

Yoongles:
Hey you doing alright? You normally reply to messages right away

A chuckle leaves Yongusn. "Know that 'Yoongles' can't protect you all the time," he stands up from the chair and leans closer to Jimin, his breath tickling Jimin's ear. "And how interesting it would be to see Yoongi be the one to turn on you," he finishes before putting his backpack onto his shoulders and wandering off.
