If you ask Yoongi, he would tell you that he doesn’t quite remember when and where or anything else to do with how he and Jin started to hook up. He knows though, he just won’t admit it because then he would have to admit that it actually means something to him. It wasn’t long after they had debuted and they were under immense pressure and stress from both the company and themselves as they were determined to prove to others that they were actually worth taking seriously despite coming from such a small company on the verge of bankruptcy. They were also a hip hop group predominantly, which wasn’t something that was seen often in Kpop Idols.
Between all of that and just generally being horny young men, the two of them fell into bed with each other. It started out as mutual hand jobs, often in closets or bathrooms, whenever they could get a spare moment to themselves, the goal to orgasm as quickly as possible.
It wasn’t until the two of them started to share a room by themselves in 2016, when they moved into their second dorm, that it started to progress into something else. The two of them had been drinking and despite being able to hold his alcohol well most of the time, Yoongi had found himself drunker than expected that night. He couldn’t help but stare at Jin, taking him in. He really did live up to the nickname of Worldwide Handsome.
Yoongi doesn’t quite remember what he was thinking, but he knows he was suddenly leaning in and kissing Jin. It was their first kiss and one that Jin didn’t respond to. Yoongi panicked and ran off, hiding in Namjoon’s room though he refused to tell his other friend anything that had happened.
It wasn’t long until Jin tracked him down, pulling him off Namjoon’s bed where he had collapsed face down, and kissed him back. “Idiot, you can’t kiss me then run off like that,” Jin complained. Yoongi remembers the surprised look on Namjoon’s face and Jin waving it off as ‘he and Yoongi were just hooking up to relieve tension’ as he put it. Namjoon just nodded in understanding and said he was doing the same thing with Hobi.
That was the first time they actually had sex. While it wasn’t Yoongi’s first time, it was by far the best. The two of them were in sync in so many ways already, and it turned out they were synchronous in the bedroom too.
So how was it, that he was laying there on Jin’s bed in his apartment while he was on break from the military, both fully clothed and laughing like the idiots they were?
Okay, that wasn’t actually surprising since they had over a decade of friendship, but how was it that Yoongi hadn’t been this happy in such a long time? He was content and he didn’t want to move. Some might have put it down to their friendship and how long it had been since they had seen each other in person, but Yoongi knew that wasn’t the case. He had been in constant contact with Jin while they were apart; every time that he got a message or phone call from his only hyung, his heart did this weird thing that he refused to acknowledge.
Soon, the calls were Yoongi’s favourite part of the week and whenever they didn’t happen for whatever reason he was…. Sad? Disappointed and let down? It didn’t make sense.
Okay, that was a lie. As Yoongi lay there looking at Jin crack joke after joke, making him laugh himself silly, he had an idea of what was going on. He just didn’t want to admit it.
Yoongi didn’t want things to change between them.
A more cynical part of his brain (that sounded awfully like Namjoon for some reason) asked if things really would change after so long. What was the point of living without risk?
Yoongi was doing his best to ignore his inner Namjoon.
Instead, Yoongi tried forcing himself to focus his attention on Jin, who was telling joke after joke, in between the odd and harmless story of his time in the military. It was mostly puns though, which he appreciated. He didn’t want to think about their enlistment at the moment, it reminded him too much of how things were before and he missed that.
Though, he probably would have appreciated it if Jin took a break from telling puns, or more his abs would as they were starting to hurt from him laughing so much at the things that his friend was coming up with.
Little did Yoongi know that his reaction was exactly why Jin continued to do it.
It wasn’t until he felt Jin stroking his own short hair (that was another thing he didn’t like to think about, he had enjoyed having his hair longer; all of them did, knowing they would have to cut it super short for the military) that Yoongi realised Jin had stopped talking and was looking at him curiously.
“Yoongichi?” Jin asked him softly. “What’s wrong? You’re distracted, more so than normal,” Jin teased him. “You were laughing like I was still telling jokes when I had moved on to something else. Nothing bad, but I wanted to see if you were as distracted as I thought you were. Do you want to talk about it?” Jin asked moving onto his side, resting his head on his hand and watching Yoongi curiously.
Yoongi just sighed and let his head crash onto the pillow behind him. He opened his mouth to respond before letting out another sigh.
“Do you ever think we’re more than just friends who have sex?” Yoongi finally asked, making sure he had his eyes closed so he couldn’t watch Jin’s reaction to what he was saying.
There was a beat of silence when Yoongi started to panic that he had in fact screwed things up between him and his only hyung but then Jin spoke. “Of course we are. You’ve only just realised that now? Silly,” Jin replied, poking Yoongi in the side with a chuckle. “I’ll make it clear to you though. Will you be my boyfriend, Yoongichi?”
Yoongi opened his eyes and turned to look at Jin, blinking as he did so. “You never made it clear. Okay, and I was too scared to do it, and I might have just started to suspect something…. I just thought we were friends, but yes I would very much like to be your boyfriend, jagiya,” Yoongi told him, adding the last word in a rush and barely above a whisper.
“Oh phew, cause I’m over here planning to confess my love to you, so it would be really awkward if you said no,” Jin responded, leaning in to plant a kiss on Yoongi’s lips.
“I love you too,” Yoongi breathed out, giving Jin a kiss of his own. “So tell me more about these dad jokes you learned while you were away? Someone gave you a book of them that you studied really hard to memorise just for us?” He teased Jin. Moving, he pushed lightly at Jin’s chest; he got the message of what Yoongi wanted and laid back down on his back, letting Yoongi move so he could rest his head on Jin’s chest.
“Ha, me? Never. I am the master of coming up with these puns and you know it,” Jin responded with a laugh. “You know the others have thought we were dating for years?” Jin suddenly told him, causing Yoongi to sit up in surprise and look at Jin with a 'what the fuck' face.
“I kept telling them we weren’t, but they laughed at me, so expect them to say 'told you so' or something to that effect when they find out we actually are now dating,” Jin warned him.
“Noted,” Yoongi responded with a nod before rolling over and grabbing his phone. “Let’s take a picture of us kissing and send it to the group chat. Get it over and done with?” he suggested.
“Yes, that would be a lot of fun. Their reactions will be amazing to see,” Jin grinned at Yoongi.
Five minutes later, they had done just that. Turning off their phones so the members couldn’t get in contact with them until they wanted them to, the new couple settled back onto Jin’s bed, just the two of them, which was what mattered most.
