throughout the day, yoongi and jimin trailed around the school together, coincidently sharing their whole schedule together. but, yoongi hadn't seen jeongguk all day. he had asked jung hoseok, a boy from jeongguk's gym class, if he had seen the other boy, in which he replied no. yoongi began to worry, did jeongguk not come to school because of him? was the other boy okay?
he was in elt, with jimin, starring intently at his hand. jimin caught the worry in yoongi's gaze, and gently set his hand on the other boys shoulder. "yoongi, you okay?" yoongi blinked, looking up at jimin with a shaky smile. "fine, just sleepy."
jimin pouted, "i know you're lying." yoongi gnawed on his bottom lip, "'m not."
"you are, please talk to me."
the bell rang, and yoongi quickly stood, "gotta go to class." he muttered, stuffing his hands in his pockets while walking away. "hey, we have the same class together! wait up!"
after school, yoongi walked home, jimin had pestered him all through classes, and he almost choked the other boy. as he was walking, he passed by jeongguk's house. he paused, starring up at jeongguk's window. the curtains were closed. he contemplated for a moment, before walking up to the door and knocking softly.
after a moment, ms jeon opened the door. she looked tired, and her eyes looked dull. "oh, yoongi, what's up dear?" the woman's usually cheery voice sounded weary.
"is koo okay? he wasn't at school today." yoongi noticed how ms jeon's eyes flickered. the woman sighed, opening the door more, letting yoongi in. yoongi walked inside, taking his shoes off and setting his backpack down.
ms jeon sighed softly, crouching down to yoongi's height. "jeongguk isn't.. feeling well. but, you can go see him. just be gentle, okay hun?"
yoongi nodded, and ms jeon smiled, but it didn't meet her eyes. yoongi quickly rushed up to jeongguk's room, slowly opening the door. "ggukie?" jeongguk was curled up on his bed, his head stuffed in a small cat plush.
yoongi softly padded his way over, and got on his knees on jeongguk's bedside. he pushed up jeongguk's hair softly, smiling when the other boy's eyes fluttered open. "hi jeongguk, missed you today."
"y-yoo-" jeongguk was cut off with a fit of coughs, and yoongi frowned. he didn't like it that jeongguk was sick, he wished that he could make him feel better.
"yoongi.. missed you too" jeongguk sat up, scooting back on his bed and making grabby arms for the other boy. "cuddles, please yooyoo."
