Brotherly Love (BTS X READER) *Book 1*

The Dream and the Pest

     "(Y/N)-ah, please don't go," Jungkook cried. He wrapped his arms around you tightly, tears falling onto your shoulder. You held onto him as well, crying as you buried yourself into his neck.

     "I have to," you whispered shakily. You felt him squeeze you tighter, as if to trap you so you could never part from him. From them. Jungkook's chest seemed to shudder as he let out a small sob. He hadn't intended to be so emotional, but he couldn't contain it. He sniffled before placing a kiss on your head, finally allowing you to move from his hold. You almost didn't want to.

     "I'll miss you, (Y/N)," he whispered.

     "I'll miss you more."

     You woke up suddenly, heart racing and eyes watering. It was that dream again, the one that had rudely interrupted your sleep a few weeks before. You put your head in your hands, wondering what could possibly cause you to have such emotional dreams. Just as you were about to log the peculiar event in your journal, the sound of knocking resonated throughout your bedroom. It was already time for you to get up.

     "Get up, (Y/N), you have school today," Jin exclaimed through your door. You quickly pulled yourself out of bed and opened the entrance to your room. Upon revealing your condition to Jin, you immediately received a look of concern.

     "Are you crying?" he asked you, softly grabbing your face to examine the streaks trailing down your cheeks. At that moment, Jungkook exited his room across from you, just in time to hear Jin's question. And, to notice the tears himself.

     Seeing him over Jin's shoulder reminded you too well of the ending of your dream. A few more tears fell from your eyes.

     "Ah, uh- yeah. It's really nothing to worry about though-"

     "(Y/N)-ah, what's wrong?" Jungkook interrupted you, his expression mimicking Jin's. That early in the morning, so many questions were almost too much for you.

     "It's nothing, it was just a dream," you explained, pulling your face out of Jin's hands and wiping away your remaining tears. He remembered that you mentioned having a weird dream one morning in the kitchen a few weeks before. Was it possible that it was the same one? Jin shook off the idea, deeming it unlikely.

     Jungkook continued to look at you with concern. It was the first time he had seen you cry, besides when you got your phone from the receptionist at the BigHit building. That didn't really count though. He also knew you had been crying the night before, he could see the aftermath just like everyone else, but he also knew that that was just from a web drama. What could you have dreamt of to make you so sad? He would have to ask you about it later.

     "Okay... well breakfast will be done in about half an hour, you should get ready," Jin told you, taking his leave. Jungkook was surprised to see Jin acting so concerned for you, but he pushed it aside.

     "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked you softly. You smiled lightly at him, nodding your head.

     "I'm fine, really," you stated. Jungkook nodded, and hesitantly left as well so you could get ready for school.

     Getting ready didn't usually take you long. Your school had uniforms, so you didn't have to worry about picking out an outfit. The only thing you needed to worry about besides that was skincare and such. You weren't generally supposed to put on makeup for school, something in the dress code was against it, but you knew all the other girls did. So, on occasion you would do so as well, being sure to keep it natural since you didn't want to get in trouble. You already stood out enough as it was, you didn't need to get dress-coded on top of that. Almost always, you were done before or right when Jin finished breakfast. Perfect timing.
