//26 - "What's going on with you and Jungkook?"//

As the days went by, Yoongi had been slowly opening up to Jin, talking to him more often and treating him like an actual human being. It was hard for the both of them at first, helping him come out of the shell that he's constructed for many years now, but progress was progress, even if it was just a little bit.

Jungkook had also been coming over after work to see how things were going, more like making sure Yoongi didn't touch Jin in any way or treat him badly. He even stayed over as well sometimes, much to Yoongi's annoyance. The two have been getting very close as well, Jungkook wanting to be more touchy in public, but he doesn't because he knows Jin isn't very comfortable with it.

It was almost Christmas Eve, two days away actually, so they were all making plans on how to spend it together. In the end, they decided to celebrate at Yoongi's house because it was bigger and invite only close friends—Taehyung and Jimin, Hoseok and Namjoon, Hongseok, and of course, Jungkook and Jin with Yoongi as the host.

Currently, Jungkook and Jin are cuddling in his bed, Jungkook running his hand through Jin's soft, now purple, hair while the other rubs his back. Jin is nuzzling his face in the crook of his neck, his hands splayed across Jungkook's bare chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"You excited about Christmas?" Jungkook asks softly, looking down at him. Purple hair really suits Jin well, he absolutely loves the color on him.

Jin hums in response. "Yea, I am. It's just, this will be my first Christmas without my mom. It just feels... weird and unreal."

     Jungkook kisses his forehead and hugs him tighter. "I know sweetheart, I know. You have all of us here with you though, you're not alone."

     As a tear runs down his cheek, Jin kisses his chest. "I know and I appreciate it. Thank you Kookie."

Silence falls upon them until Jin speaks up once again. "Kook, what exactly are we? I mean, we're too close to be friends now but—"

     "Whatever you want us to be babe. I'm willing to wait until you're ready to be in an actual relationship. Until then, we don't need a label, we'll just be us."

     Jin looks up at Jungkook and smiles, Jungkook leaning down to kiss his cheek. "Let's sleep, yea?"

     "Ok."

CHRISTMAS EVE

Jin hurries about the kitchen as he finishes the food, Jungkook watching as he freaks out about everything. He can't help but smile because he can tell how much his lover(?) cares about the holiday, especially with friends coming over. Luckily they don't have to worry about the tree since they put it up a few days ago.

     After watching him struggle for a little while, he finally hops off the counter and pulls Jin into his embrace, hugging the anxious male.

     "Everything looks perfect, hun. And I'm sure our friends will appreciate everything you've done so far," he says in attempts to calm him down. It helps a little, Jin isn't feeling so tense anymore and he relaxes under his warm touch.

     "Thanks Kookie."

     Jungkook pecks his cheek, smiling. "No problem babe."
