Chapter 23: Kookie In Love

Yoongi woke up to Namjoon violently hitting him with his pillow. At first he thought he was dreaming, but when he heard the sound of Namjoon yelling several expletives at him, he was wide awake.

"God dammit, Yoongi, how heavy of a sleeper can someone actually be?!" he said, hitting him again. Yoongi wrapped his arms around his head, squinting his eyes shut. "I swear if you didn't wake up within the next five minutes, I would've thought you were dead!"

"Okay, okay, I'm awake!" Yoongi exclaimed, pushing him away. "Can you stop now?!"

"Get your uniform on and let's go!" Namjoon said, picking it up from the bed-side table and throwing it at him. Yoongi immediately slipped off his pajamas and started buttoning up his shirt, having Namjoon help him wrap his tie around his neck. Once he had his clothes on, he slid on his shoes, brushed his teeth, and headed downstairs to meet Namjoon by the door. He was holding  two strawberry Poptarts in his hand, one for himself and one for Yoongi. It was his favorite flavor, so he took it immediately and bit into it, both of them walking out the door and heading to the train station.

This was pretty much how every morning went for them; Yoongi would sleep in until the very last second, and then Namjoon would make sure they actually made it to their train in time for school. Yoongi did set his alarm every night, but it was never very effective. On the other hand, Namjoon hitting him with his pillow always worked perfectly.

"So what was the deal last night?" Namjoon asked him, both of them speed-walking down the street. Yoongi was seriously out of shape, and he was still trying to catch his breath.

"Can I tell you about it when we're on the train?" he said, struggling to keep up with his friend. Namjoon just nodded his head, pulling out his phone and checking the time.

"Run!" Namjoon told him, grabbing his wrist and pulling Yoongi along with him. Yoongi didn't hesitate, using every last bit of energy he had. He hoped that his body would at least look somewhat like Namjoon's by the end of the year if he was going to be forced to do this every morning. But he figured that was a long-shot.

When they finally made it to the train station, Namjoon breathed a sigh of relief.

"We even have a minute to spare!" he gasped, shaking Yoongi with excitement. Yoongi just gave him a smile like he always did.

They boarded the train almost as quickly as they had got to the station. They spotted two empty seats in the very back and sat down, Yoongi taking the window seat like he always did. Normally he would stare out the window the entire way and share his airpods with Namjoon, but he knew he had to explain what happened last night.

"So?" Namjoon said, crossing his arms. He was looking at Yoongi expectantly. "Why'd you come in my room?"

Yoongi really didn't want to tell him about the dream, mainly because he just didn't like thinking about it. But he proceeded to tell Namjoon anyways, explaining how it had been re-ocurring every night since he'd kissed Hoseok and that he was never able to fall back asleep. Namjoon just nodded his head, taking in his friend's words.

"Ah, I see," he said when Yoongi was finally done. Yoongi looked down at his shoes, wishing he could just go back to summer break. Those were the good days, when he didn't have to see Hoseok every day and be reminded of how much he'd hurt him. When he thought he'd actually moved on.

"Don't worry, Yoongi," Namjoon said, seeing the look on his face. "You can sleep in my bed every night if you need to. Why don't we get some ice cream after school? That'll make you feel better, won't it?"

Yoongi's face instantly lit up.

"You're the best, Joonie!" he said, reaching over to hug him. Yoongi was never usually this affectionate, but he couldn't help it; he had the most amazing friend in the entire world.
