"Jungkook..." Yoongi's whisper was almost inaudible as he produced the younger males' name through his tight vocal chords.

Why did he just kiss his cheek?

Not like Yoongi was complaining, ultimately.

But still, it was random.

Yoongi was practically speechless.

Jungkook never replied to the sound of his name, instead, he wrapped his stiff arms around Yoongi and gently placed his chin on his hyungs' shoulder. He looked up to him with a soft smile.

Yoongi shifted his neck to look at Jungkook.

Now his heart was doing all sorts of mushy stuff just looking at him.

The young boy blinked some and pulled away, drawing his knees up to his chest.

"I'm sorry." Jungkook mumbled. Again, his persona just changed immediately. He was acting cute and now he was acting ashamed and depressed.

"I know my behavior is strange...." He added, trailing off as he then hid his face in his bony knees. It hurt doing that. But he pretended like it didn't.

Then there was silence.

"It's okay.." Yoongi decided to speak up after processing everything that just happened in the last few minutes. He moved closer to Jungkook, the weight on the bed shifting caused the other boy to look up from his knees.

Jungkook wanted to sit up better, but he ended up whimpering instead because the aches and pains lingering in his body weren't entirely gone.

"You still hurt so badly...?" Yoongi decided to kind of change the "subject", if there was one?

"Yes, I do..."

Jungkook met his eyes with Yoongi's once more.

"The pain in my body is bad... but that's not what hurts the most..." He whispered.

Yoongi nodded his head some, to signal for Jungkook to continue his words.

"What hurts the most was the names I was called....and what Taehyung did to me."

Yoongi inhaled. "Taehyung?"

Jungkook told Yoongi all what Taehyung did. Everything. And let's say that Yoongi was absolutely infuriated after hearing that little explanation.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with him." Yoongi tried his best to keep his voice calm, even though he had that rise of anger in him. Even though his blood was boiling.

Yoongi already sounded so protective over Jungkook. Damnit. Not now.

The younger sighed, feeling himself sniffle.

"The names... what those bullies in the hall labled me as a.. fag...hyung.....it hurts so bad because.."

"Because?" Yoongi emphasized.

"Because...what if...what if I like boys...?" Jungkook couldn't hold the lump in his throat any longer. He already felt warm tears fill his stressed eyes.

The only good thing was that Yoongi's room got so dark at this point that Jungkook could only partially see a sillouette of him. So that meant the older boy wouldn't be able to see his forming tears.

"A-And I guess it's kinda stupid to like them when I-I haven't even...." Jungkook stuttered his way to an incomplete sentence.

"When you haven't even been kissed by one?" Yoongi's voice echoed into the younger's ear so smoothly.

"Y-Yeah.." Jungkook replied, scared of how Yoongi would react to his confession.

"What if...." Yoongi's hushed voice became even closer to Jungkook's personal space. "What if I think you're hotter than all the girls in the school combined?" His forehead was now pressed against Jungkook's.

The younger boy felt his breath hitch, and his heart increase in pressure, beating quicker underneath the muscles of his skin.

"Hyung...what are you doing..?" Jungkook whispered in the same hushed tone so no one else in the entire world could hear him except for Yoongi.

And his words triggered an oh so vivid memory in Yoongi's mind of him and Jungkook sitting on a staircase.

"This."

Yoongi smashed his lips onto Jungkook's.

A/N: well, that was pretty gay :D
