You're the reason (my life began)

"Kook you're withering away, I can see your ribs even through that bulky suit. You should quit your job and become our secretary." Hoseok stated with a large smile on his face as Jungkook glared at him. Yoongi kicked the boy, placing his attention on Jungkook as Hoseok winced.

"Jeon Jungkook, the baby face CEO of a big company huh?" Yoongi chuckled out, embracing the boy into a hug. Jungkook smiled widely, resting his head on the elder's shoulder, taking in the scent of his cologne.

"Hey Yoon, Ive missed you." Jungkook stated, allowing his eyes to  droop as he clutched onto his best friend.

"Guess I'll just go fuck myself then." Jimin stated, annoyed at the lack of attention he was receiving. "Yah! You big baby, we see you almost everyday. We haven't seen our Jungkookie in over 4 months." Yoongi said as he slapped the boy over the head. Jimin rubbed his head, glaring back at the older boy. "Hey no more hitting, let's get some drinks and food in this little one's tummy!" Hoseok stated cheerfully, notching the previous tension.

The four boys gathered around a circular table, Vodka shots in hand, cheering to a great night. Shot after shot, the boy's words started to slur and they began dancing. Though by boys, it was truly only Jimin. The 3 shots of alcohol he took hit him like a train and Yoongi could confidently say, Jimin was shit faced. "Alright that's enough, time for you to eat some food and drink some water little one." Yoongi sighed, raising his arms to help Jimin off the table he was dancing on.

"Nooo, Yoonie! We're just getting started!" Jimin slurred out, his breath reeking of Vodka.

Jungkook and Hoseok just sat there laughing at each one of Yoongi's attempts to feed the drunk boy a hamburger. Jungkook was actually having fun, he was drinking a little, eating a meal, he was around people he loved, though one thing still bothered him.

Jungkook swallowed deeply as he debated on telling his friends about Namjoon's proposal and what his father had said about him.

"Kook, are you okay? You've barely touched your food. Am I gonna have to feed you like Jimin?" Hoseok teased.

Jungkook smiled at his friends attempt to lighten the mood. "Guys, I sorta have to tell you something." Jungkook sighed out, realizing he couldn't keep going like this. "You remember the Namjoon guy I told you all about?" Jungkook stated, scratching the back of his head.

"You mean the one that would beat you senseless in the stalls of the bathrooms? Yeah how could I forget." Yoongi stated coldly, visibly tensing at the mention of the boys name. Jimin and Hoseok nodded, looking to Jungkook to finish his sentence.

"Well he sorta, I mean I sorta, I guess, ran into him while I was visiting my dad and he told me my dad was ashamed of me. He told me all the things my dad said about me, mostly how I was unfit to handle his position." Jungkook stuttered out, tears brimming his eyes once again.

"Oh Kook, you know none of it's true, you're an amazing worker. Besides how can you even trust what he says." Hoseok states, reassuring the boy as he rubbed his back.

"Well, the thing is he also offered me a deal. You guys above any know how dangerous this business is and how people could take revenge on me for what my father did. So Namjoon offered for him and his brother to protect me in exchange for well, freedom." Jungkook spoke, placing his eyes on the ground to avoid the reaction that was plastered across his best friend's face.

"You're kidding me right Kook? You're not actually considering freeing him from jail in exchange for his bullshit protection?!" Yoongi practically yelled, completely shocked at how silly Jungkook was acting. Hoseok glared at Yoongi, shushing him as he leaned in closer to Jungkook.

"Kookie, he bullied you. And now he's in jail, is it really safe to have two felons protect you?" Hoseok spoke softly, moving the hair out of Jungkook's face.

Yoongi stared at Hoseok dumbly, annoyed that the topic of freeing Namjoon was still on the table.

"Hobi I don't know l, I just- I need you two to help me." Jungkook whimpered out, tears beginning to fall down his cheeks.

"Un-fucking-believable, I will not help you free the fucking man who destroyed your life. I think it's even more crazy that you're attempting to free your bully before your own father. I'm sorry Kook, but he's a bad man and I want nothing to do this, and I don't think you should either. You need to listen to Hyung and focus on yourself before thinking crazy thoughts like this." Yoongi lashed out coldly before getting up and retreating to take Jimin to the bathroom.

Jungkook winced at his words, he only ever referred to himself as Hyung when he was extremely pissed at the boy. Hoseok sighed and wiped Jungkook's tears away with his thumb.

"Kookie if this means that much to you I'll help you. You know I can't stand to see you cry like that." Hoseok spoke, making Jungkook's face light up.

"T-thank you Hyung!" Jungkook cheered, knowing his fake tears always worked on Hoseok.

"No problem buddy, just send me a crime report of what he did and I'll take care of the rest and look into the case." Hoseok said, ruffling the younger's hair.

The two finished their burgers as Yoongi came out of the bathroom, practically carrying a almost passed out Jimin. The group made their way to the parking lot, as Yoongi placed Jimin in Jungkook's car as the boy wanted to stay the night.

"Kook look at me, I love you and I didn't mean to yell at you, I just want to protect you okay?" Yoongi spoke, softly embracing Jungkook into a hug.

The younger rested his head on his shoulder, melting into the hug. "I know hyung, I love you too." Jungkook whispered.

Jungkook gave Hoseok one last hug as they all promised to get together a lot more from now on. Jungkook entered the car, seeing Jimin was already knocked out cold. He chuckled, "Alright then, let's go home Minnie."

The two drove off, the stars illuminating their path home. By the time the two reached Jungkook's home, it was pitch black outside and Jungkook was left to carry a sleeping Jimin in.

"God you're so lucky you're light." Jungkook spoke, throwing Jimin over his shoulder as unlocked his door. Jungkook carried the boy to his bed, gently placing him under the covers as he went to collapse on the other side.

Jimin cuddled into the sheets and pillows as Jungkook closed his eyes, thinking about the one thing he always does, Namjoon. His eyelids slowly grew heavy as drifted off too Jimin's snoring, enjoying the feeling of someone else being with him. He liked it when he wasn't alone, he liked someone sleeping next to him, as his own snores synced with Jimin's.
