Exulansis

Chapter 32

"Oh Yoongi-ah that's perfect!" Linya praised as she ran her hands through the mannequins now bright red hair. Yoongi had spent the last two hours colouring it and cutting it into a neat bob, also going the extra step to curl the hair perfectly. The boy smiled at the praise, bowing his head in thanks to his mentor.

The salon was empty, closed at this stage as it was already 6pm. Linya allowed Yoongi to stay late however and practice more. The boy showed great skill and natural flair for hair design. She was very proud of how quick he was able to learn.

Yoongi cleaned up the shop, sweeping and mopping the floors before bidding goodbye to the kind auntie and leaving the salon.
He had only been walking for a minute or two, just outside of the mall, when two familiar voices called out to him.

"Hey doll" Jungkook greeted with a pretty, bunny-toothed grin. Jimin, walking in toe with his husband, gave the boy a hug when he reached him, also greeting Yoongi.

"H-hi, what're you guys doing?" He asked as Jimin finally released him.
The two elders smiled and grabbed one of the boys hands each as they began walking back to the house.

"We just wanted to walk you home" Jungkook replied, his large, warm hand fully encasing Yoongis.

Said boy stared at the two at his sides with a smile, "Oh how romantic." He giggled, "Thank you"

The walk home was in blissful silence. Yoongi enjoyed how soft and welcoming their hands were. Even though it was staring to get dark, he felt safe. Especially when Jimin brought out a flashlight for the younger.

"God, you must think I'm such a kid" Yoongi muttered. He'd always been embarrassed around his fear of the dark. Logically he understood that the dark itself wasn't dangerous, but he just couldn't think like that when the panic took over him.

"Yeah we do, but not because of the dark." Jimin smirked, earning a small smack from the boy who then stood closer to Jungkook in protest. Jimin simply pulled him back and kissed his cheek, making the boy freeze and glow a gorgeous shade of crimson.

They arrived home, Yoongi was exhausted. Don't get him wrong, he loved the salon. He really enjoyed playing around with hair and learning from Linya-Noona, but it was hard work. She really kept him going.

"Want to watch tv with us?" Jungkook asked as he removed his shoes and coat.

Yoongi answered with a half upturned smile, "do you two ever actually work? I feel like you spend most of your time on that couch watching dramas?"

Jungkook chuckled, "I'm a model, I only work when specifically asked to by my company. That and I typically do summer shoots." 

"I do a lot of work at home. I'm currently finishing the paperwork for my thesis. When that's done I'll be back in the office full time." Jimin almost groaned. He loved being a pharmaceutical scientist, and he was damn good at his job, but it was mentally exhausting.

That's why the pair relaxed so much, they were enjoying their time off.
Yoongi accepted their answers and agreed to watching some television with them.

"Where's Tae?" The boy asked as he sat in the corner of the sofa, burying himself deep in the blankets while Jungkook flicked through the channels.

"He's with his brother. They're going through some.. issues at the moment and are staying together until it's dealt with." Jimin answered with slight hesitation before flopping down on the couch beside the smallest.

Yoongis cheeks pinked at their close proximity, yet he couldn't find it within himself to push the elder away.

Over the past few weeks, Yoongis been slowly getting bolder with his teasing, he felt it was only fair considering what the elder pair did to him in the early weeks of this weird kinda relationship.
It started with small things, like casually cuddling into their side when watching tv, or just so happening to fall over and need to grip at their biceps to keep up. Y'know. Casual.
