Pretty In Pastel [Yoonkook]

Chapter 5 - Final

The tension between them had returned.

The friendly atmosphere that used to exist between them had disappeared, vanished. It seemed that Yoongi was avoiding him for some reason. He didn't know why but it made him feel more empty when they started talking less and less by each passing day. When he tried to confront him, he would always make up excuses about projects.

After 2 weeks, Yoongi still hadn't talked to him so he decide to take matter in his own hands. When he saw Yoongi again he grabbed his wrist to stop him from walking by.

"We need to talk." He said and the other tried to escape his grip "What happened? What did I do?"

"Let me go" Yoongi demanded but the younger didn't comply " Jungkook, let me go."

"No. Not until you tell me what happened." He said stubbornly.

It took Yoongi a moment to respond, weighing his options and then realizing there was no escape since Jungkook was blocking the door.

"Fine" Yoongi sighed "but let go of me"

The younger did as ordered and waited for Yoongi to start talking. When he didn't he realized he had to start the conversation because the other didn't want to talk about it.

"Since the party we've been... distant" He said carefully, prodding Yoongi to start the conversation "Did I do or say anything wrong?" He asked.

Yoongi stared at his feet, as if he were ashamed.

"You seriously don't remember anything don't you?" He shook his head and Yoongi sighed. "Well I guess you know there are different types of drunk people. There's the one that finds everything funny, the depressed one, the angry one you know?" He nodded "Well you're the type that... speaks about their feelings." Yoongi said carefully.

Jungkook felt his heart stop. It felt like time stopped. The silence was so deafening. He felt like he wanted the world to just swallow him up from this situation and he was sure that Yoongi felt the same way too by the way that he wouldn't meet his gaze.

"What...what did I say?" He asked afraid that he had said something bad to the other.

Yoongi sighed "Well when we were on the way back you were drunk. I was a bit drunk too so I guess you didn't know what you were doing or why you can't remember why-"He stopped in the middle of the sentence. "You- shit this is hard. You know? I'm just going to be blunt about this, just a warning. Fuck. Why is this so hard to say?" He sighed frustrated as he pulled on his hair.

Jungkook gulped waiting for the answer.

"When we arrived you were so drunk that you couldn't even walk straight so I had to carry you up to your room." He explained as he started fidgeting with his hands "You started mumbling stuff under your breath and when I was going to leave, you grabbed my wrist and then.. you said... you said that you liked me. You kissed me and then repeated that you liked me" He finished.

Silence.

That's all there was.

Jungkook could feel his heart beating at what Yoongi had said.

Now that he though about it, it made sense.

All those feelings he had. Why Yoongi made him feel so carefree, so happy. How he made him easily smiled. He mentally slapped himself for not realizing what those feeling were. All this time he denied it, but now? When Yoongi said it, it made him realize and accept the truth.

"I'm sorry"

Those words surprised Jungkook. He looked up and realized that Yoongi was staring at him guiltily.

"Why would be sorry? I'm the one that was drunk. It was my fault." He said.

"No, if I would've taken more care of you then this wouldn't of had happened. I ruined our friendship. I ruined us." He said softly, almost whispering to himself.

"No, it wasn't your fault. I should've acted more mature and should've limited how much I drank. You're my friend, not my parents or babysitter to be taking care of me" He said.

"Am I really your friend Jungkook?" The other asked, Jungkook could feel his heart stop beating "We haven't spoken ever since then and I didn't even bother to acknowledge the problem. Instead I ignored you, acting as if nothing happened. I failed you." He said.

"Quit being so dramatic" Jungkook rolled his eyes. "Don't be so hard on yourself. It's not your fault that you're not good at talking about awkward situations." Jungkook said.

More silence. He didn't know what else to say. It was so awkward to just stand there without saying anything after. Yoongi probably didn't even like him. He could feel his eyes start to water, but he refused to cry in front of Yoongi.

"Is it true?" He heard Yoongi whisper out. He froze."What you said the other night. That you liked me. Is is true?" Jungkook looked at the floor and mumbled a small 'yes' that could barely be heard. "You stupid idiot!" Yoongi sighed.

When Jungkook looked at him with a questioning stare. Yoongi saw the look and elaborated.

"All this time I bullied you because I didn't know how to deal with these feelings." Yoongi groaned "I'm such an idiot!"

Jungkook blushed at Yoongi's confession. All this time he thought that the other bullied him for what he wore and that he hated him. It turned out the opposite, he actually liked him.
He felt really happy that Yoongi actually liked him too.

"Sorry for being such an idiot and never telling you. I just didn't really realize. I guess it all makes sense now." Yoongi said.

"Shut up, I guess it was also my fault for not acknowledging my feeling too." He said smiling.

Yoongi just stared at him before he started leaning forward.

"Y-Yoongi? What are y-you doing?" He asked. He felt himself start blushing.

"You look really pretty when you blush" Yoongi said looking at him directly in his eyes with such an intense gaze that made Jungkook look down.

Before Jungkook could say anything, Yoongi softly tilted his chin to look at him again and softly kissed him. It was a short kiss but it wasn't a peck either. They could feel their love for each other in it.

When they pulled apart, Jungkook looked away blushing madly. Yoongi grabbed his hand which caused him to look back at Yoongi.

"Jungkook, will you be my boyfriend?" Yoongi asked softly, voice full of emotion.

Jungkook felt like the happiest person on Earth.

"Of course hyung. I would love to be your boyfriend!"

And with that Yoongi and Jungkook smiled brightly at each other and kissed again. After all, Yoongi didn't bully him because of his pastel passion. It was because he fell in love with someone that looked Pretty In Pastel.
