Death Row || YOONJIN

033

Mark smacked Seokjin across the face, tugging roughly at his hair. "Can't believe they let someone like you be a prison guard."

"I could say the same thing," Seokjin muttered under his breath.

"Don't give me any cheek, Kim. It won't get you anywhere."

"It got Yoongi free from this hellhole."

"He got lucky," Mark sneered as he grabbed a fistful of hair and pulled. "But you're here to stay."

"The fuck I am," Seokjin spat, glaring at Mark hard. He had only been an accessory to the crime. The real bomber still walked free and Seokjin wasn't planning on giving away her identity anytime soon.

Mark walked to the door. "Don't worry... I'll get your boyfriend back here soon, make you watch me fuck him to tears in front of you."

"Like that's ever going to happen," Seokjin scoffed.

Yoongi was in the clear, right?

Yoongi was free for the first time in years. Jackson was so fucking nice to him and Yoongi
loved going to work and cooking his own meals and sleeping in a bed that didn't make him cry in the morning when his back hurt from the weak support. He loved buying clothes and going on walks and talking to people.

All of his clothes fit and all of his meals were warm and yummy and he slept like a rock, so why was he feeling unhappy? He had been preoccupied lately and he didn't quite know why.

Maybe it was because there was someone on his mind. Maybe it was because Yoongi couldn't help but constantly think about Seokjin, where he was, how he was doing, if he still loved Yoongi.

Lots of things had changed, but one thing hadn't; Yoongi definitely still cared about Kim Seokjin and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Today was date night and Yoongi was so excited to meet Jackson after a week of work. Just these two hours could make all the difference in how well he'd thought his week had gone.

The restaurant was quiet and formal and not as blatantly gaudy as the first had been; Yoongi rather liked this setting.

The date with Jackson went well and Yoongi had so much fun being around the older man...

But nearing the end of the pair's date, Jackson asked Yoongi a question.

"Yoongi baby, you've made me so happy in these last few weeks and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Will you be my boyfriend?"

Tears rose to Yoongi's eyes as each of his emotions confronted him one by one.

What would he do?
