04.

Yoongi was dragging Jimin away, leaving everyone confused. He led him to the corner of the restaurant, cornered him at a tree before releasing his wrist,  grabbing Jimin's face and stomping his lips on his plush ones. Devouring them, knowing Jimin's senses were consumed by him and only him right now. And that when he admitted it, he was obsessed.

Jimin's eyes widened, but he couldn't move back, nor could he reciprocate Yoongi's rather hungry kiss. It felt bizarre and Jimin couldn't understand whether it was right or wrong. He just knew he felt overwhelmed by the sudden act. At one point Yoongi had stopped moving his lips, locking them deeply and pressing his lips harder against the younger. The rapper's eyes were closed shut, wanting to stay in this bittersweet bliss forever.

Jimin stood frozen at his spot. He didn't wanna push Yoongi, he could already sense the anger into the kiss and he didn't wanna make his Hyung madder. Feeling helpless, he whimpered, fisting his hands even more tightly.

Yoongi detached himself from Jimin's mouth with a gasp, wiping off the drool dripping down his lips by his sleeves.

"Jimin why?!" He blurted out.

"W-Why what?"

"Why're you leading me on like this?"

Jimin stayed silent for a moment, biting his lip. "I'm not doing it on purpose– I– I'm just confused..."

"Goddammit, that's why I wanted us to talk it out, Jimin. To remove confusions. Will you keep avoiding me, Jimin? I feel bad, you know..."

Jimin looked at Yoongi helplessly, silently pleading to over this conversation but Yoongi wasn't budging.

"I'm sorry, Hyung...I just start questioning everything when I'm around you..."

"And what're you gonna do? Avoid those questions for the rest of your life? Avoid me for the rest of your life?

Jimin sniffled a little, his eyes getting watery as he looked away. Being around Yoongi was suddenly different, how could he explain it? How could he explain that he planned to settle in with a woman and have kids in his mid-thirties? Not lose his virginity with none other than his beloved band member. Everything had turned upside down.

He had been constantly asking himself what was going to make him happy. Yoongi was...his family. He'd never in a million years have thought they'd end up like this.

"This hurts, Jimin." Yoongi pointed between the space between both of them. "I don't even remember that night but I'm sure I didn't do it for us to drift apart like this...I'm sure I did it for us to get closer."

A tear fell down Jimin's eye and he ran his hand through his blonde hair in frustration, looking away for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Hyung...that's all I can offer you right now," Jimin said weakly.

Yoongi huffed exasperatedly. "Can we at least...be the way we were before?" He asked and Jimin paused again. It felt impossible to be near Yoongi and not feel anything. The way he did before.

"I'm trying." Jimin merely whispered, looking at Yoongi in hopes. "I'm really trying, Hyung. I'm sorry."

He bit his bottom lip, moving closer hesitantly for a hug but Yoongi pushed him, angry tears striking his eyes. Jimin stared at his Hyung with guilt-filled expression, trying to move closer again.

Jimin leaned in closer to the elder's lips, taking Yoongi aback. Their lips brushed before Yoongi pushed him again.

"Pitying me, are you?!" Yoongi raged and Jimin curled back. What hurt the most was...he couldn't deny it. Yes, he was just about to kiss Yoongi. Not because he wanted to, not because he was sure of his emotions, but because he thought it would take away Yoongi's sulking expressions. Because he was sure Yoongi liked him.

"I won't let you lead me on like this," Yoongi grumbled. "And don't pity me! At least I know what I want, unlike you who doesn't even know whether they wanna sleep with a boy or a girl!"

Jimin gasped. He didn't understand what did he do wrong. If there was anyone of his band members in place of Yoongi, yes, he would have needed distance. If there would be Taehyung or Jungkook in place of Yoongi here, he would have shouted back ten times harder. But seeing the tears prickling at his Hyung's eyes, His responsible, strong Hyung, he couldn't stay anything.

"I can't believe we became so distant in one night," Yoongi said lastly before going away from Jimin. Leaving him alone. Yoongi didn't go to the rest of his bandmates. He went straight out, not knowing where he was going.

Jimin stood there for a minute, staring the empty space. Giving up, he went back to where his friends were, but there was no cheerful atmosphere anymore. It looked as if they were waiting for Yoongi and Jimin to come back and explain and quickly alerted when they saw him. Jimin didn't know how they were seeing him, dried tears sticking at his cheeks and such miserable expression he couldn't seem to tear away.

Their gazes were fixed at Jimin while Jimin couldn't look at them, silently gazing at the ground. He couldn't explain it right now and perhaps they took note of that because Namjoon cleared his throat.

"I think we should head home."

"Yeah." Everyone agreed as Taehyung took Jimin by his shoulder and started walking away.

"Where's Yoongi Hyung?" He heard Hobi whisper but he didn't get an answer in return.
