A week has passed since the dressing room incident and life has been amazing. The boys have met his family and it went great. His Mom [ I honestly forgot if he even had a Mom, oof, good job me. whatever go w da flow ] has allowed him to stay with the boys on the weekdays, but for him to come home during the weekends.
The boys have been going on jobs almost everyday, but Jaehwa understands. What they do is dangerous and it doesn't take a genius to know that they must be alert at all times. It made Jaehwa wonder though.
All the boys have "babysat" him other than Jungkook. Did Jungkook not like him anymore? It honestly hurt him. He remembered Namjoon saying it was their choice on whether or not they wanted to take care of Jaehwa each day.
So, here Jaehwa was, standing at Jungkook's bedroom door with a pout on his face. He raised his fist and knocked gently on the door. It opened almost immediately, revealing a sweaty, shirtless Jungkook. His eyes widened slightly when he noticed Jaehwa.
"Ah, Jae, hey," Jungkook gave him a toothy smile. Jae softly smiled back. He couldn't resist the adorable bunny smile the older had.
"Hey, Kookie, sorry for bothering you," He gently said, noticing the loud music playing behind the other and the work out tools.
"Ah, no, you weren't," He shook his head, his hair bouncing as he did so. Jaehwa had to stop the urge to laugh. It was cute when his hair bounced like that.
"I've come to ask you something," Jaehwa inhaled softly, his pout returning onto his lips. The other gulped, already knowing what the question was going to be.
"Why have you been avoiding me? Do you not like me anymore?" The younger questioned, his voice breaking at the end. The older frowned, cursing at himself in his head for making the other hurt so much.
"Ah, no, I-I love you, Jae! I do!" Jungkook quickly reassured, taking the smaller hands in his. "It's just.. I am afraid," The other admitted shamefully.
That made Jaehwa confused. Afraid? When was the mighty Jungkook ever afraid?
"What are you afraid of?" Jaehwa questioned, tilting his head to show how confused he was.
"I'm afraid that.." Jungkook sighed in frustration. "That I won't be able to.. please you like they did. I'm scared that... I will never satisfy you and that you'll choose them over me. That I would never be good enough," He mumbled, breaking eye contact with Jaehwa.
The confession made Jaehwa's heart break. Did Jungkook really think that? He immediately took Jungkook into his arms, giving him the biggest hug ever. "How could you ever think that, Kookie? I love you all equally no matter what!" He sternly stated, pulling away to look at Jungkook.
