Yugyeom, as Jungkook has come to know in recent hours, is a jerk.

The man helps their elderly neighbor being in her groceries, even putting them away as she protests that she can do it herself. He once stopped the car when a turtle was crossing the road, got out (with Jungkook scurrying behind), and moved it off to the side of the road, potentially saving its life from distracted drivers. Heck, he's stayed up with the older brunette multiple times to help him study and, as much as he hates to admit it, he is likely the reason Jungkook passed his macro class last year.

For all intensive purposes for now, however, Yugyeom is a jerk and nothing will change him mind.

Jungkook was, once upon a time, curled up and sleeping in his bed like a baby. The rabbit plushy that his parents had gotten him for his fourth birthday laid next to him, one of his hands lightly clasping a dark gray floppy ear. He doesn't remember exactly what is was that he had been dreaming about, but even if it had been a nightmare, at least he would still be sleeping instead of walking around at the dead of night, wind whipping his hair around violently.

He and Yugyeom had stayed up until midnight watching and discussing the movie (the two hour movie turned into three and a half hours with the combined bathroom breaks, popcorn runs, and Yugyeom's occasional break-ins which made Jungkook pause the movie to explain things). The brunette personally thought that the story was heartwarming and the little poem at the end made him tear up a bit (never mind the scare he went through when he thought they were going to die), but Yugyeom complained that he didn't understand it even with all of the older's explanations of all the tiny foreshadowing scattered throughout. It reminded him a bit of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, two animated movies that he enjoyed immanency when he was younger.

Both mutually agreed to go to bed after that once Jungkook let out a particularly large yawn, jaw snapping and all.

Wondering into his small bedroom, he didn't even bothering to turn on the light as he plopped right down onto his back, since, about thirty minutes into the movie, Yugyeom had said he wanted to cuddle, but it would be too uncomfortable with jeans on so they both had gotten up to change into their sleepwear. He had decided to go with a pair of pale purple flannel pajama pants (a gift from his roommate for his birthday last year) and a black tee shirt. The brunette was a little grateful for the younger's suggestion as now he doesn't have to waste time changing when he's already beat.

He took his right arm and stretched it next to his ear as he reached up with his left above his head, gripping his elbow and arching his back. A relaxed sigh left his mouth once he felt the pop in his spine, relief washing over his being.

Slipping under the covers, he grabbed hold of his bunny and hugged it to himself. It reminded him of home, a place he hasn't visited in years. A tiny smile made its way onto his face, his mother is going to give him the smack of a lifetime when he goes back before pulling him into a hug where he probably won't be able to breath from how hard she'll squeeze. His mother has always been on the stronger side, something that he admired about her.

He had fallen asleep with the thoughts of his family and, maybe, seeing Snowball again if his cousins visited.


Yugyeom had jumped on his bed what seemed like minutes later, body falling right on top of Jungkook's, forcing out a groan when his elbow hit his stomach.

"Jungkookie~" the pink male whined out, "I'm hungry~" His hands pulled at the comforter covering the brunette's body, the older attempting to pull it over his head to hide away.

"We have food in the kitchen." His voice, heavy from sleep, groaned out. He squeezed his eyes shut tighter and pulled his stuffed animal closer to himself, one hand still attempting to keep the covers on him. After a brief struggle, Yugyeom let out a whoop of triumph as he ripped Jungkook's shield away from him, revealing brown strands sticking up everywhere, closed eyes, and bottom lip jutting out in a pout. "Yugyeom, go away. I wanna sleep." He reached for the covers only to have his roommate pull them away. "We have left over bulgogi in the fridge, just go have that."
