Chapter Text
Jin had fallen in love with Jungkook the first day he had met him. His cute smile and doe-like eyes (“Bambi-like eyes” as he said in one interview) had immediately made him have such warm feelings towards the boy. He himself had been the youngest in his own family and had never been much of a caregiver but for this boy he wanted to fight the world. Jungkook was just too pure and innocent and afraid. How did he even manage to come so far from home at such a young age? he wondered.
Eventually Jin found 5 more members whom he grew to have a soft spot for. He never expected to be the eldest in his group but now that he was, he wanted to be the best Hyung for his younger brothers. He was scared and afraid to mess up. After all, he was in his early twenties himself, hardly starting University. It was going to take some time, but he wanted each and every member to feel comfortable with him, especially since he knew what it felt like to be the baby of the family.
But despite everything and everyone, Jin still had the weakest spot for Jungkook. He wanted to feed the kid, to make him smile, to hear his worries and give him comfort. And that’s exactly what he did. But it wasn’t always easy. A teen is never easy to handle. Having gone through puberty himself a while back and remembering all his own turmoils, he knew it wasn’t the younger ones fault. He tried to be the bigger person but sometimes, just sometimes, it didn’t turn out the way he wanted things to and it hurt.
It was a Monday and Monday meant school. Jungkook didn’t hate school, but the idea of waking up early for it always made the idea of school unpleasant. Why couldn’t school start at 12 or something? Why does it have to be at freaking 8 o clock. Add on to that his heavy sleeping habits and it was near impossible for him to wake up that early.
The task of waking him up of course mostly belonged to Jin. Having a driver’s license and having his own classes meant that he was the ideal candidate to drive Jungkook to school even though sometimes Jin’s classes wouldn’t start until 11. He’d rather Jungkook not have to go through the public transport system to get to school. Or more importantly, he didn’t want him to end up sleeping in and not go to classes at all.
*~Jin~*
At 7 am sharp Jin’s alarm rang and he pulled himself out of bed. He was always a light sleeper. The other members in the room were still asleep. He rubs his eyes and as quietly as possible makes his way over to Jungkook’s bed to wake him up.
“Jungkook” he says grabbing the maknae’s shoulder. “Jungkook get up. You have to go to school today”.
The maknae doesn’t budge. He’s not surprised in the least. “Jungkook” he gives a more forceful shake. “Get up.” He can’t even raise his voice much because the others are still asleep. Jungkook only moves his head slightly but doesn’t seem to register his presence. Feeling frustrated, tired and sore from last night’s practice Jin almost wants to go back to bed himself.
Rubbing his hand over his face, Jin decides he’ll let the maknae sleep just a bit longer. He goes to wash up, get ready and prepare breakfast and lunch for himself and Jungkook. We’ll just have to drive a bit faster, he thinks before stepping into the shower.
25 minutes later Jin is ready to head out the door, only he can’t. He walks into their room with a glass of water. It was only there as a last resort. Only if Jungkook refused to wake up to anything, will he pour some onto the maknae’s face. But he really didn’t want to. He knew the awful feeling of water hitting your face in your sleep. It isn’t pleasant.
He puts the water down on a bedside table and shakes Jungkook more forcefully than he did last time. “Jungkook let’s get up now”. The sudden movement apparently startles Jungkook out of his sleepy state and he gives a shudder and open his eyes just enough to see what is happening.
“Jungkook, you need to wake up. We’re late for school”, he says pleading to the youngest. Jungkook gives a whine and proceeds to make himself even more comfortable. Jin is just frustrated now. They have a 30 minute drive and Jungkook is probably going to leave them with only 15. He tries one more time. “Jungkook you can’t sleep. You need to wake up” he says grabbing the youngest from the shoulders and making him sit up in bed. Jungkook just sways there, his eyes closed, still pretty much in dreamland. That’s when he decides to pinch Jungkook’s nipples just so that Jungkook will finally wake up.
--
Now, when Jin decided to do that he expected some anguish on behalf of the younger, maybe even a bit of an angry sound but what he didn’t expect was Jungkook to yell out “HEY YOU PERVERT GET OFF ME!” and stare at him with murder in his eyes. The sudden yell wakes up Namjoon and Hoseok who both roll over to see what is going on. “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?” Jungkook asks loudly looking at Jin.
Dumbfounded, Jin hasn’t replied yet when Jungkook gives a loud huff and makes his way to the bathroom to wash up. He slams the bathroom door loudly, startling Jimin out of his sleep as well.
“Wha happnd?” Jimin croaks out. Jin is still baffled. Granted Jungkook was reluctant about skinship but he thought the boy was comfortable enough now to actually not be too offended. They’ve been together about 3 years now.
He frowns. Seems like I thought wrong, he thinks staring at their bedroom door. He looks towards Jimin and just mutters a “Nothing” and gives a reassuring nod to Hoseok and Namjoon before exiting the room, taking Jungkook’s clothes with him.
*~Jungkook~*
Jungkook slams the door to the bathroom and proceeds to take a quick shower and them brush his teeth. He’s still seething and extremely angry at Jin. When he comes out and sees his clothes laid out in front of the door for him it irks him even more for some reason.
What was he thinking touching him like that? Is he out of his mind?!, he thinks
He changes and picks up his bag. But then suddenly puts it down as Jin comes around the corner and makes a show of taking out the lunch box that Jin had put in his backpack and leaving it on the kitchen table. His insides are still boiling for some reason and he refuses to eat breakfast either and simply walks out the door. He knows the gesture might have hurt Jin. But he doesn’t care. In fact, he seems to get some sort of a savage pleasure from it. He just walks to the car and stands there waiting for Jin to come. He has half a mind that he should take the bus but he’s already late.
*~Jin~*
When Jungkook leaves his lunch on the table it hurts Jin. Not just because Jungkook’s words hurt from before, but because he knows how hungry Jungkook really is in the morning and will be later. How would the boy survive the whole day with no food?, he thinks
Instead of giving up, Jin thinks maybe he can convince the maknae on the way to eat something and take his lunch box with him. He quickly grabs the lunch box and wraps the sandwiches he made for breakfast in a napkin and hurries out the door. They have only 20 minutes to spare.
--
The morning traffic is hectic as usual. Jin looks in the front mirror and sees Jungkook with his ear buds in, staring out the window. When he had unlocked the car Jungkook had sat down in the passenger seat behind him instead of shot-gun like usual. He clears his throat
“Jungkook” he says in a rather low voice. The maknae makes no gesture indicating he’d heard him. Jin tries again louder this time trying to both focus on the road and get his younger brother to eat. “Jungkook, I know you’re angry, but please at least eat something and take your lunch with you. You will be so hungry at school. And the cafeteria food isn’t even healthy,” he pleads.
Jungkook is still stubbornly staring out the window but Jin is sure he can hear him. The music isn’t too loud, otherwise he’ll hear it. “Jungkook!” he says a bit more forcefully “WHAT?!” Jungkook snaps back.
Unfazed this time and a bit angry Jin repeats what he said. Jungkook scoffs “I don’t want to eat anything that your pervy hands touched. Just drive so that I can go to school and be as far away from you as possible,” he retorts and goes back to staring out the window.
Jin is clearly hurt, but he tries not to show it as they finally pull up in front of the school 5 minutes late. At least Jungkook’s teachers liked him enough so they let him off sometimes even when he was late.
“Have a good-“ Jin starts to say but Jungkook has already slammed the car door and is running for the school doors.
Jin sighs and pulls away from in front of the school and drives towards his university instead, trying not to feel too hurt or effected by what Jungkook has done or said. But he clearly is and so he decides to stop by one of his favorite cafés to the university.
Jin orders a cappuccino and sits near one of the windows, leaning his head against it. Jungkook’s words repeat in his head over and over. It was a mistake on his part. He shouldn’t have done that to Jungkook maybe. Jungkook was still sensitive and shy and maybe this was too soon, but Jungkook really seemed to be trying to hurt him. He worried about his hungry brother, knowing how much he likes to eat.
Just then his phone rings.
“Bighit Kim Namjoon” it reads.
“Hello” Jin answers.
“Hi Hyung” Namjoon’s voice greets back “Are you attending a class right now?” he asks.
“No, I have one in 20 minutes though. What’s up?” he asks.
“Nothing. I was just wondering about what happened this morning?” he asks.
Jin sighs sipping his cappuccino “I don’t know”, he says. “Jungkook wasn’t getting up this morning so I decided to pinch his nipples to wake him up. Guess it was a bad idea. He’s still angry at me. He refused breakfast and lunch. I’m worried about him, how will he survive the day?!” he rants to Namjoon, worry evident in his tone.
Namjoon sighs “Ah hyung. I see. That’s why he yelled something about being a pervert” Jin flinches at the reminder. It still hurt.
“Hyung, you shouldn’t have maybe done that I guess. You know how he is. But don’t worry, he’ll come around. He’s still young and new to this.” Namjoon says trying to calm the elder.
Jin gets up from his seat and walks out to his car but stays silent. Sensing unease Namjoon asks “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing” Jin replies. “I’m just worried if he’ll buy that horrible cafeteria food. I always leave money in his bag in case of an emergency but that food is just disgusting.”
“Maybe you can drop off his lunch at the front desk. He might eat it then” Namjoon suggests.
Jin thinks for a bit “Do you think he’ll eat it then?” Jin asks, clearly doubtful after the morning events
“I can’t promise that, but I hope he will” Namjoon replies and Jin nods. “I hope so too Joon. I’ll do that after my class. Anyway, we’ll talk later” he says.
“Alright Hyung. Bye” Namjoon says before hanging up.
--
Later during the day, Jin does exactly as Namjoon had suggested. But he also buys a few of Jungkook’s favorite snacks remembering how Jungkook said he didn’t want to eat anything that he touched. He hoped at least he’ll eat the snacks if not the lunch he packed.
He walks into the front office and drops off Jungkook’s lunch telling the lady at the desk to please get it to him.
*~Jungkook~*
Jungkook had finally calmed down after 15 minutes of entering his class. His teacher had been late herself so he was good. But now that the lesson had started, he was suddenly aware of how empty his stomach was. Maybe I should have taken the lunch box, he thinks. But then he frowns. He’s still angry. He can’t believe his Hyung decided to do that when he knows he’s uncomfortable with skinship. And he just didn’t like touch him, he pinched his nipple, like who does that.
Suddenly his stomach gives a loud rumble and he knows that probably more than half of the kids around him heard it. Thankfully they ignore it and keep their attention on the lecture. He tries to focus too but it’s hard with an empty stomach. It’s a gnawing sensation.
His stomach gives another loud rumble and a few people turn to look at him. His friend beside him gives a smirk
Didn’t have breakfast huh?, he mouths
Jungkook just gives him a small smile and decides to keep staring ahead. His head is feeling a bit light and his muscles are still sore from yesterday but he’ll pull through. But his stomach has other plans and it keeps making these loud embarrassing noises and he’s too embarrassed to excuse himself. He decides to drink some water and almost panics when he remembers that he might have forgotten his water bottle at home. But then he checks and finds it in his bag. Refilled and placed in it’s pocket by Jin. He makes a face at the thought of his Hyung but gulps down copious amounts. It does little to pacify his growling stomach and 5 minutes later he’s back to dealing with a loud stomach.
He finally decides to face the embarrassment and goes up to his teacher and ask if he can be excused to the bathroom. His teacher just gives him a small smile and tells him to come closer.
“I know you’re hungry. Just go down to the nurses office and she’ll probably have something for you. You can buy some food from the cafeteria later when it opens,” she says smiling. Jungkook feels heat rising up his cheeks. He’s so embarrassed. He bows to his teacher with a “sorry and thank you” and walks out the door, trying not to look at his friends snickering at his red face.
--
Jungkook makes his way down the hallways to the nurses office. He knocks on the door. “Come in” comes a male voice from inside.
He pushes open the door to find one of the male nurses sitting at the desk. He approaches.
“Ah Jungkook, how are you? Did you hurt yourself somewhere?” he asks.
“No, it’s just that-“ he starts to says but his stomach gives a really loud rumble and he just covers his face in embarrassment.
The nurse raises an eyebrow but smiles warmly “Looks like someone didn’t have breakfast today, huh?” he says laughing and reaching into the drawer in his desk. He pulls out a packet of ramen and busies himself with preparing it for Jungkook.
“So did you sleep in and couldn’t eat breakfast or are you trying to diet” the nurse asks. Dieting was pretty common for idols. It always baffled him how these already skinny idols thought they needed to go on a diet.
“I kind of slept in” Jungkook mumbles looking at the floor.
“I see the nurse answers preparing the ramen. They stay silent for a while, with only Jungkook’s stomach making noises. Finally the nurse finishes preparing the cup and hands it to Jungkook.
“Well, eat up and then go back to your class”, the nurse says. “And try to leave some time for breakfast next time, “ he says sternly. But Jungkook knows he’s just showing concern and nods and takes his ramen with a thank you.
As soon as the first bite reaches Jungkook’s belly the knots in his stomach ease and the dull pain of hunger goes away. He practically inhales the whole cup. The nurse stares at him wide-eyed. “Slow down. You shouldn’t be eating that fast” he says. But Jungkook was already done with more than half of the cup and it takes him less than a minute to finish the rest.
Dumbfounded the nurse watches Jungkook empty out the cup, practically licking it clean and then almost stare at it wistfully before throwing it in the garbage can. He almost wants to give Jungkook another cup but he doesn’t think he can stand the boy inhaling another cup to the point of choking. Besides, this wasn’t the cafeteria.
“All right, back to class then” he tells Jungkook. Jungkook nods and gives his thanks to the nurse, truly grateful to him. He waves a hand telling Jungkook not to worry and waves him good bye.
A little satisfied Jungkook goes back to his classroom and the day goes by as usual. Thankfully no one brings up his embarrassing episode that morning and his friends just end up goofing around as usual.
--
Once it’s lunch break Jungkook remembers how he doesn’t have any lunch. The thought makes his heart sink but then he quickly remember somethings and checks his bag. Sure enough, there is the small amount of money that Jin always left in his bag in case of an emergency. He’s about to pull it out so that he can maybe buy something edible from the cafeteria when the announcement speaker comes to life “Can Jeon Jungkook please come down to the office, thank you” it says twice before the announcement cuts off.
Confused he picks up his bag and walks down to the front office. He asks permission to enter and the lady smiles and gestures him to come in.
“Jeon Jungkook, someone dropped this off for you. They said to make sure it reaches you and you eat it.”
Jungkook’s heart constricts as he sees the woman pull out his lunch box and some of his favourite snacks. It suddenly hits him how mean he had been to his Hyung and yet his Hyung had still worried about him not having food and had dropped off food for him. He knew that his Hyung probably had 30 minutes between his classes today which meant he risked being late to class to drop this off for him with snacks.
He bows and thanks the staff and slowly walks to the cafeteria to join his friends.
“Seems like your members are telepathic. Or maybe they could hear your stomach growling all the way at the dorm and decided to leave you some food.” his friend Jian teases.
“It’s not like that” Jungkook says making a whining noise, but he knows it’s all in good humour. He gratefully opens the container to find pasta salad inside. His heart constricts again. He was starting to feel slightly sorry now. He picks up one of his chopsticks and begins to eat, chewing in silence. His friends chat and laugh around him. He occasionally joins in but for the most part he eats silently, feeling guilty about doing all those mean things to his elder brother. He was starting to realize he might have gone a little overboard with his reactions and gestures. He had known his Hyungs for three years now. It’s not like they had never touched him. He knew they cared for him as nothing but a little brother and there was no ill-intent whatsoever. He felt slightly ashamed. He should really apologize to Jin. Knowing his Hyung, he was probably very hurt by his words but was trying to act normal.
The rest of the day goes by as usual and Jungkook can’t wait to finally meet Jin. He hadn’t eaten the snacks to show Jin that he didn’t mind eating his food and that he just said everything in anger. But when he finally runs outside after school he doesn’t find Jin standing there but one of their managers. Upset and slightly worried he runs over to him.
“Hello”, he says greeting his manager who immediately ushers him to the car and they are soon driving off.
Jungkook stays silent for a while. It’s not like he’s never been picked up by his manager but he feels slightly worried. Did Jin refuse to pick him up because of how he acted? Did something happen?
“Where is Jin-Hyung?” he finally asks his manager.
“Ah, Jin was helping Yoongi with some of the lyrics and since they were really finally getting past that writers block they had recently I told Jin not to worry and I’ll pick you up. He really wanted to but I told him that they shouldn’t interrupt their flow and keep working.”
“Ah” is all Jungkook says and stays silent. Slightly relaxing at the idea that his Hyung hadn’t been hurt too badly. But the first thing he’ll do once Jin returns to the dorm is apologize to him.
*~Jin~*
After his classes ended at 1 pm Jin had gone back to the studio where he met up with Yoongi. They all took part in writing lyrics, sometimes helping each other out if they were feeling a writer’s block. Jin had worked with Yoongi before too. For Yoongi and Jin it usually was a matter of whether they were on the same frequency that day and today happened to be one of those days. They threw ideas back and forth, improving the lyrics and the ideas got better. He didn’t even realize that it was already 2:30 when the manager poked his head in to ask how it was going. Jin only then suddenly remembered he had to pick up Jungkook. He had left his phone on “Not-disturb” which meant that his alarm to pick Jungkook up didn’t ring either.
“Yoongi, I am really enjoying this but I have to go pick up Jungkook he said standing up” Yoongi gave a slight pout but understood, nodding at his Hyung.
But before Jin could get up the manager stopped him. “Don’t worry Jin, I’ll pick him up. You guys are finally getting somewhere so you shouldn’t interrupt the flow now”, he said.
“Are you sure?” Jin asked, feeling slightly guilty. “I can do it. I don’t mind”.
The manager just waved his hand. “No, you guys work. He’ll be fine with me”, he says giving a smile.
“Thank you” Jin replies bowing to his manager, who just chuckles and closes the door.
Jin turns back to look at Yoongi smiling at him. “What?” he asks.
“I heard about this morning from Namjoon” he says giving his gummy smile. “Don’t worry about the kid, he’ll come around. He just has different preferences when it comes to skinship” he says looking at Jin kindly.
Jin nods, not saying anything.
“But why did you decide to pinch his nipples though?” Yoongi asks, trying to keep a straight face but fails.
Jin can’t help but laugh a bit too at the ridiculousness. “I don’t know. I was slightly frustrated that he wasn’t waking up and so I thought a little bit of pain would do the trick. I didn’t know it’ll backfire like that. I didn’t think it’ll make him that uncomfortable because we’re all brothers but I don’t think I should have done that” he says shaking his head but still laughing slightly at the whole thing.
“Yeah. Well, now you know” Yoongi says. “Let’s get back to work” and they continue with where they left off with the lyrics and composing.
*~Jungkook~*
Once Jungkook arrived home he immediately washed up and decided to do his homework before he had to go for practice. He didn’t like doing homework but he was trying to be extra good today so that none of his Hyungs will be more upset. It took him 3 hours to finish it. Right on time, since they had practice in about an hour and they’ll be leaving half an hour before.
His stomach was growling again so he went to the kitchen to find something he could quickly eat before leaving.
When he entered the kitchen, Taehyung and Jimin were eating the pizza they had ordered. Leaning against the counter they were laughing about something.
“Jungkook!” Taehyung yells happily and wraps the maknae in a hug when he sees him. Jimin smiles and ruffles his hair. Prying Taehyung off of him Jungkook reaches for the pizza slice but Jimin blocks his way.
“Hey! You don’t even greet us properly and decide to just take our pizza?!” he says, pulling a mock-hurt expression on his face.
Jungkook just laughs, his face scrunching up in a way that made him look like a bunny and reaches for the pizza again, being the naughty maknae he is. Jimin doesn’t stop him this time but still continues to be dramatic with “We’re your hyungs Jungkook”, “What is this disrespect”, “You’re paying next time” and just everything very Jimin in general while Taehyung plays affectionately with his hair. They share how their day went and talk about their upcoming dance practice as they finish the pizza just in time for the manager to come pick them up for dance practice.
They bicker and laugh and have fun all the way. Only the three of them in the car.
--
When they arrive at the dance studio their Hyungs are already warming up. They all greet them as usual and Jungkook tries to make eye contact with Jin to see if he’s mad at him but couldn’t because Jin is talking to their choreographer. They all stretch for a while and then get into formation for the choreography. They’ve only gone over this choreography a few times so it’s still pretty new to them.
The practice is hectic as usual. They’re still trying to get used to switching places and keeping up with the beat. It’s harder than their previous choreography but they’re making progress. By the end of the 4 hour practice they are pretty much in sync. It’s usually like this the first week. They will almost prefect their choreography by the end of the day but will forget some steps the next day. But they always make progress.
Finally exhausted and sore from the practice they finally decide to wrap up at 11 pm and go back to the dorms.
Once back at the dorms they all wash up one by one or two at once depending on how tired some of them are.
During practice Jungkook hadn’t been able to talk to Jin because they were busy. Even during the break Jin was practicing some moves and asking their choreographer.
They were about to order take out when Jin decided to be generous since he still had some energy left. And instead he went to the kitchen to prepare something for dinner. Jungkook wants to talk to Jin but both of them still haven’t washed up and Jungkook knows that Jin hates cooking without washing up but he was holding back for some of the more tired members. If he tries to talk to Jin then it’ll only make him more irritated.
Jin leaves the flame on low and tells Hoseok to take it off after 5 minutes while he goes to wash up. Responsible as always, Hoseok has taken the dinner off the stove and has set up the table for all of them by the time Jin comes back and they all eagerly sit down to shovel down the food. It’s like heaven after the grueling practice and no one speaks throughout the whole meal, too tired and too hungry to make any conversation.
One by one they all start to leave, washing they’re dishes and leaving them on the drying rack and heading to bed. Jungkook hangs back even when Taehyung and Jimin ask him to come along. “You guys go” he says in a low voice while finishing his meal. They shrug and leave Jungkook with Jin in the kitchen.
When Jungkook sees Jin getting up to wash the bowl he made dinner in he quickly finishing the rest of his food and puts out his hand to stop Jin. Instead he picks up the bowl himself and goes to the sink to wash it. His back turned he can feel the elder looking at him and he tries to think of what to say but he doesn’t know how he should start the conversation.
Of course as always, the elder is there to save him again “Jungkook” Jin says calmly and Jungkook finishes rinsing off the huge bowl and puts it on the rack before turning around. His gaze stuck to the floor. Jin walks up to him and lifts his head by placing his hand under Jungkook’s chin.
“Jungkook, I’m sorry for pinching your nipples like that this morning, I shouldn’t have done that. I am sorry for making you feel uncomfortable” he says in a sad but sincere tone.
Jungkook looks up at his Hyung. Jungkook always felt warmth when he looked at Jin’s light brown eyes. He shakes his head “No, you shouldn’t be apologizing. I was the one who overreacted. You were just trying to be playful while waking me up and I yelled at you. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean what I said and I’m sorry for hurting you like that by leaving my lunch box behind and not eating breakfast and yelling those untrue things about you” he finally manages to say.
Jin just smiles at him and wraps him in a soft hug. “Kook do you even know how worried I was about you not having food. Don’t do that again, okay!” he says pulling back and looking at the younger’s face. “Did you even eat the lunch I left for you?” he asks.
“Yes. Yes I did.”, Jungkook answers at once. “I didn’t even touch the snacks and ate your food because I felt so ashamed of telling you I didn’t want your food. I’m really sorry. It’s just that-“ he pauses.
Jin doesn’t say anything. Waiting for Jungkook to gather himself. It warmed his heart that Jungkook had decided to eat his food and had decided not to eat the snacks just to show how sorry he was. He knew how much Jungkook loved those snacks.
Jungkook took a few minutes to gather himself then finally looked up at Jin.
“It’s just that when I came here, I was alone and I grew to be wary of people. I had no one I could trust and I was also starting to grow so I didn’t feel exactly comfortable with everything. But then I found you guys who are the best and you took a lot of care of me and I should have learned to trust you guys by now, and I do, but sometimes my body reacts on its own and I say or do stuff I don’t mean.” He pauses to breathe. “I just want to say I’m sorry and…if you do that again it’s okay I won’t yell at you,” he finishes.
Jin looks at Jungkook softly. He brushes his hair out of his eyes “Kook I won’t do it if you’re uncomfortable. You don’t have to say that just to spare my-“
“No, no” Jungkook cuts off. “I..I kind of liked it. It’s a ticklish sort of a feeling, not unpleasant to wake up to if you don’t do it too hard and..” he trails off and then gives a huge bunny grin. “I’m not uncomfortable Hyung. I’m hard to wake up anyway so if you ever want to do that again it’s okay, I promise I won’t yell at you.” He says putting his hands around Jin’s neck.
Jin softly hits Jungkook on the neck “If you say so brat. And try not to yell such stuff next time okay. It hurts, even though I know you didn’t mean it.” He laughs and hugs Jungkook.
Jungkook eases into the hug, his head under Jin’s chin, feeling warm and satisfied. “Let’s go to bed” Jin says and they both walk to their room.
They both get ready for bed but then Jungkook comes and crawls into Jin’s as he often does and curls up next to the elder. Jin sighs. He’s gonna burn this boys bed down one day if he keeps doing this, but maybe not tonight. Instead he holds Jungkook close as they both drift off to dreamland.
