LIE 2 | Truth

(No) Truth Eighteen; You didn't think of him

Yoongi drove to Namjoon's apartment with a worried expression, his nerves raging through his body as he pulled up in front of the complex.

He had just recieved a call from Jungkook, the younger practically begging Yoongi to pick him up from Namjoon's. Yoongi would openly admit he was afraid of what he'd be looking at when he finally arrived, he was scared for the young boy that was like his younger brother.

The elder ran out of the car once be arrived, his heart dropping when he saw Jungkook. The younger's eyes were red and puffy from what he could only assume was crying, and he had long red marks from scratching at his arms. Something Jungkook did when he was angry or upset to control his emotions, it wasn't healthy and his friends have always told him that.

"You're so lucky I was awake," Yoongi attempted to joke, his failed attempt only making Jungkook tear up and begin apologizing profusely. Yoongi quickly hugged him, "Kook, I was only joking, you know i'm always here for you."

Either way, Yoongi was awake purely because he'd been talking to Hoseok over the phone. The two wouldn't leave each other alone, together trying to decide what they are, whether they were dating or just going for being a couple again. They still haven't decided.

Jungkook only nodded, whispering into Yoongi's ear from where he was laying his head on the elder's shoulder, "Thank you, Hyung."

"Anytime," Yoongi dismissed his gratitude, "want me to bring you home? Or do you want to stay the night at my place?"

The younger responded almost instantly, "Your place, please, if it's not too much of a burden-"

"I offered," Yoongi interrupted him, smiling softly in his direction, "now let's go, before you get sick."

The two walked over to Yoongi's car, once they were settled in they drove off to Yoongi's home. Right when they left, is when Seokjin had arrived to speak with Namjoon.

"What happened, Jungkookie?"

Yoongi waited awhile before he finally asked this question. When they arrived at Yoongi's, the younger went to change into the clothes he had brought with him, which were originally meant for him staying at Namjoon's. After that, Yoongi made him hot chocolate and allowed the younger to compose himself, since he could tell Jungkook was upset. Now, Yoongi's curiosity was eating away at him and he needed to know what the hell went down between Jungkook and NamJoon.

He could see the memory flash in Jungkook's eyes, his eyes glossing over to protect the memory from leaking out in the shape of tears. Jungkook closed his eyes before asking Yoongi, "You remember that opportunity I got to go the states?"

Yoongi nodded, "Yes, to work with the best of the best and the best of the best equipment," he restated Jungkook's exact words when the younger originally told him.

"Well, today I told Namjoon that I was going, that I was taking the opportunity," Jungkook gulped down the lump that formed in his throat as he spoke, the block that attempted to prevent him from speaking, the block that caused his voice to shake, "he didn't react well. He told m-me, how I ruined our plan and how I didn't tell him anything before that moment-"

"Which is bullshit," Yoongi interrupted, unlike SeokJin Yoongi would interrupt whenever he pleased, "I was there when you told him, you literally told all of us over dinner."

Ouch, guess Namjoon did forget something.

Jungkook nodded, rolling his eyes softly, "I know, he forgot, he's been doing that lately. Of course I-i understand why! He's really busy lately with the company and stuff. But then he said how he doesn't know if i'll come back, like it's not a guarntee, and used the example of you and Hoseok and how you two thought you'd be able to come back to each other and how it didn't happen, all that shaz." Jungkook stopped speaking, he just stopped, not knowing what else to say.

Yoongi spoke up when he knew Jungkook wasn't going to say anything, "I know why he's mad though, especially if you didn't go over it with him. The plan you two had set was years in advance, so it was bound to change no matter what, things would happen, so that's unfair of him. Also, how he accused you of not telling him at all. But you didn't think of him when you made the decision Jungkook, you know you didn't-" a cut appeared on Yoongi's leg.

The younger had a tear traveling down his cheek, "I did," he confessed, "I wasn't going to take it, Yoongi." he admitted, more tears gathering in his eyes. "But Jimin told me to not be stupid and so did Tae, they said I may never got an opportunity like this again and I should just take it before it goes to someone else. So I did, I thought about him too much when I was thinking about it. I know i'm at fault for not talking to him b-before, I should've." Jungkook's chest felt like it was burning up, his heart felt like it was on fire.

The elder nodded, mumbling to himself how Jungkook did think of NamJoon so his cut would go away.

He thought about the situation Jungkook and Namjoon had, they were both at fault for different things. Yoongi understood why Namjoon was angry and he also understood why Jungkook would be mad, this whole situation was way to familiar.

"You both made mistakes," Yoongi began, taking Jungkook's hand in his own, "Talk to him, Jungkook, you don't want to leave with ill feelings towards him; you have a month and the wedding too, that time is going to fly by faster than you think. Don't make the same mistake Hoseok and I did."

Jungkook nodded, completely oblivious to how time, and certain circumstances, were not on his side.
