FLYING ON
THE MOON

PARENTS WERE SOMETHING Jungkook really didn't have; he was lonely and quiet. As though he didn't even know them or himself at all. He was fortunate yes he knows, he has parents, a nice house, and a pool even. No matter how many times he goes back he feels suffocated. It's not the same without someone being there- someone to take care of him, yet there was someone in his eyes -- the eyes that sparkles with hope-- his hope; that someone being Taehyung.

"I felt like I was flying on the moon; it felt like gravity wasn't a thing when I was with him."

Hoseok would listen to Jungkook's flourishing love at nights when Jimin didn't come from work early. He greatly appreciated his care, although-

Taehyung comforted Jungkook more than anyone else and Jungkook could say he very much needed that comfort now.

The door-- the door opens as Jungkook is laying on the couch watching one of his favorite youtuber doing a house makeover. All he could hear was the sound of shoes being put to the side. The footsteps got closer and the bottom of jungkook's stomach got anxious. He knew who it was and he wasn't ready for what the other had to say.

Though he has to listen;

"Jungkook."

"Yes."

He sighs, he watches as the icecream that sat in a delicate round bowl decorated with tiny stars -- melt softly -- His appetite for dessert has vanished.

"Jungkook, you can't-"

"I can't what Jimin?!"

The older was silently looking at Jungkooks eyes tear into crystallized particles that softly fell onto his cheek. Eyes a red tint -- he's angry; furious -- Jungkook didn't want to feel controlled. He wanted to live just once, just once a summer full of fun. His summers two years in a row have been pitiful. Staying home, seeing no one, having zero friends. he had online classes for way too long and he just wanted to live.

Hoseok comes into the room as he goes to grab a piece of cake out of the crystallized cake holder. He hears Jungkook in distress and listens;

Pity; he pities him.

"Jimin maybe you're being a bit blatant." Hoseok says warning the younger by the way he's handling the situation.

"What is there to be blunt about Hoseok, he can't go prancing around with Taehyung knowing what it'll get him into."

'prancing?'

Oh was the younger angry. He sat on the soft neutral toned couch as his day was ruined. Toes curled; the sound of the tv fading as the tension grew warmer. He wants to cry.

Warm colors turning to a dull cool tone. His idea of warmth was out the window. He wanted to be left alone. Jimin turns his view back to the younger. Hoseok sighs and makes his way back to his room; Tension was bad and Jungkook was about to snap. He wants to say something but-

"Jungkook don't do this, you can't be with him."

"And why can't I it's my life, are you obsessed with me or something?"

He spits. Venom at the tip of his tongue. Pursing his lips as he tries to hold back more tears.

"Your parents-"

"My parents what Jimin? It's always about them I can never get a break its only been 3 weeks I've been here. Please stop mentioning them."

"Jungkook." He says softly trying to get a hold of him.

"s-stop I just want to be left alone."

Leaving tiny bowl full of chocolate almond ice cream - on the small table it melts. The ice cream - just melts - into a pile of syrup.
