Chapter-4

...''I am going to kill you.''...

...''Yug, stop threatening him.''...

...''Dammit Kook, do you have any idea how scared we were? Yoongi and I were literally on the verge of heart attacks.''...

...''Actually, you almost collapsed, I had to calm you down.''...

...''We were this close to calling the police, where the **** were you?''...

...''I-'' Jungkook was about to speak up but got cut off again....

...''****, if you ever do this again I'm going to kill you.''...

...''Yug for ****'s sake can he please just tell us where he was already!'' Yoongi snapped at his best friend, causing him to shut his mouth close and nod. Yoongi let out a sigh then looked back at his boyfriend who was sitting on the couch, looking up at his hyungs who were hovering over him with wide eyes and a parted mouth, waiting for his chance to speak....

...''I couldn't be alone anymore, so I went to go see how Taemin hyung's doing, my phone died and I lost track of time, I'm sorry I scared you two...'' Jungkook explained himself as he looked at Yoongi with puppy dog eyes, hoping the older wouldn't be mad at him if he gave him that look....

...It didn't seem to work, for as Yoongi only sighed again and looked away....

...''You couldn't just text? Leave a note? Anything that would've kept us from losing our shit?'' Yugyeom asked he was no longer shouting but that didn't mean that he was any calmer than before....

...''I figured you wouldn't let me leave the house...''...

...''Actually, I was prepared to help you sneak out if you ever wanted to, but not after today.''...

...''Oh c'mon, I said I'm sorry.'' Jungkook whined....

...''No Kook, not after everything that's happened.'' Yugyeom said back causing the youngest to glare....

...''Yoongi hyung, please take my side on this, I can't stay locked up in here, I'll go crazy.'' Jungkook begged his boyfriend who wouldn't even spare him a glance at the moment....

...''You two figure this out on your own, I'm gonna go home.'' The blonde spoke up; although he wasn't looking at the younger, he could see his expression from the corner of his eye. The purple haired boy was wearing a shocked expression mixed with a hint of sadness and betrayal....

...''Are you going to be okay?'' Yugyeom asked as he sent the blonde a look only the pair understood....

...''We'll talk about that some other time.'' Yoongi said back as a sigh escaped his lips....

...''Talk about what?'' Jungkook's curiosity got the best of him....

...''Nothing.'' The pair said back in unison....

...''Please don't kill each other, okay?'' Yoongi tried to joke as he started walking out of the living room....

...''Can I at least chain him to the couch so he can't run out again?'' The raven joked back....

...''I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that in case Kookie decides to press charges.''...

...''You're a true friend.''...

...''See ya.''...

...And with that, the blonde disappeared out of the pair's sight, leaving both of them in a different state of emotion....

...Yugyeom was concerned for his best friend, knowing Yoongi was hiding something that was eating him up inside, while Jungkook felt as if he just got dumped. The blonde didn't take his side and helped him convince Yugyeom like he always did, hell; Yoongi didn't even look him in the eye. It was as if the pair wasn't even dating....

...Jungkook knew, Yoongi always kept his distance if all three of them were together, but he's never been this distant before; and Jungkook couldn't help but wonder, was there something he did wrong? Did he really upset Yoongi that much by not telling him where he was going?...

...''I'm not gonna tell mom and dad about this. But if you do it again I will.''...

...''Fine.'' The younger murmured. ''Can I go to my room now?''...

...''No, let's eat something.''...

...''I already ate.''...

...''Well there's a bag of take out on the counter which hasn't even been opened yet, you sure you don't wanna help me out?''...

...''I'm tired, Yug, I'm gonna go sleep.'' Jungkook murmured as he stood up from the couch and started making his way out of the living room....

...''Kookie, wait.'' The raven called out. ''Are you mad at me now?''...

...''No.''...

...''I know something's up, I get if you'd rather talk about it with Yoongi or Taehyung or somebody else, but I'm still your brother, I'm always here if you need me.'' A soft sigh escaped Jungkook's lips as he walked over to his older brother and wrapped his arms around his torso. He buried his head into the older's chest and inhaled his scent as he felt Yugyeom hug him back....

...''Can we just play video games or something and pretend like everything's okay?'' He murmured after a while....

...''Of course.''...

... ...

... ...

...A loud sigh escaped Yoongi's lips as he made his way through the front door of his house. As usual, it was dark and empty....

...His parents were at work so the blonde kicked off his shoes and made his way up the stairs to his bedroom. He locked the door and sighed again as he looked around the room....

...On the contrary to everyone's expectations, the blonde's room was very neat and clean. The bed was made, his shelves were neatly stacked, there weren't any dirty clothes on the floor and everything just seemed organized. That's the way Yoongi liked it; everything was where it was supposed to be and nobody except him were allowed to touch or move it without permission....

...He took off his jacket and hung it on the clothes rack then made his way over to his desk. He opened up the bottom drawer and removed the secret compartment he installed to reveal his stash. He took out everything he needed then closed the drawer back up. He made his way over to the window and opened it up....

...All this was a routine to Yoongi. He climbed out of the window and up to the flattest part of the roof where he sat down and started preparing his blunt. It always amused him how casually he got away with everything in his house. Smoking weed? He just had to climb up to his smoking spot. Sneaking out at night or coming home drunk? No need to worry, his parents mainly worked night shifts. Getting a hookup? Just wash the sheets before mom sees the stains....

...As long as his grades were decent, his room was clean and his parents didn't leave work early, Yoongi was able to get away with anything. With decent grades, he couldn't get nagged at or grounded, with a clean room his mom never looked through his stuff and found things she shouldn't and with absent parents nobody knew he was gay, well nobody in his family at least....

...He wasn't all that close with his family, his parents were always working and his siblings were already away at college. At family dinners, he usually stayed quiet and only really spoke if he got asked a question. But that didn't bother him; he preferred his family this way. They gave him money, provided a roof over his head and never asked any personal questions....

...Yugyeom always found it weird how Yoongi's parents never really cared what went on in the blonde's life. He found it even weirder when he asked the blonde if he was ever going to come out to his parents and Yoongi replied with ''why should I?''...

...Jimin was the only one who ever understood what he meant with that answer, because he could relate. Although Yoongi had it much better than the pink haired boy, they could both bond over the absence of their parents....

...Jimin's father walked out on him before he was even in school and his mother drank so much he was surprised she was still even alive, but still neither of their parents really acknowledged them....

...So when Yoongi gave him the answer the younger only giggled and said:...

...''you shouldn't, they don't care enough to deserve to know.''...

...The blonde lit up the end of the blunt and took in a drag; the burning could of smoke filling up his lungs. He held it in for a bit as he looked around the neighborhood then blew it out. It was only four in the afternoon so it was still light outside, but there was no sun today. The sky was gray and the wind was blowing lightly making the blonde regret taking off his jacket....

...He lit up the end of the blunt again to take another drag and started blowing small rings made out of smoke to amuse himself....

...He usually came up to this spot once a week to clear his head and relax, but today his mind just didn't seem to want to shut up. Millions of different thoughts roamed through his head and no matter how many drags he took the weed wasn't kicking in fast enough....

...He kept wondering what Yugyeom and Jungkook were doing right now, Yoongi could have stayed with them instead of going home, but he didn't want to. He wasn't mad at Jungkook for disappearing, now that he thought about it, he understood the younger, but he still could have called. The real reason why Yoongi left the pair of brothers was unknown to the blonde....

...Maybe he was tired, maybe he was mad in that moment or maybe he just didn't know how to act around Jungkook with Yugyeom right next to them. He found it stupid, that the pair were sneaking around like that; Yugyeom's going to find out eventually, the pair can't really hide it forever. It's not like they plan to. Maybe it'd just be the best if Yoongi told his best friend now. The longer they wait, the angrier the raven will be....

...Yoongi was so deep in thought, thinking the situation over he didn't even realize he was taking his phone out of his jeans and looking through his contact number trying to find Yugyeom. But he stopped himself before he made the call, remembering he should talk to Jungkook about it first. He took another drag as he looked down at his screen....

...Another thought of his that his mind kept bringing up was a boy, with pastel pink hair and a smile that could cure diseases and stop wars. How was Jimin doing right now? Was he still in the hospital? Was Taehyung with him? Was his mother there? The blonde asked himself as he continued scrolling through his contacts. A crazy idea popped into his head and this time his hand reacted before his mind could stop it....

...He took another drag as he pressed the phone to his ear and waited for his call to go to automatic voicemail, just like it did the other twenty times he tried calling....

...''... Hello?'' A soft voice spoke from the other side of the line causing the cloud of smoke to get caught in Yoongi's throat. He start coughing uncontrollably making him almost fall down from the roof. ''Yoongi... You there?''...

...''Ye-yeah... Sorry, you caught me off guard...'' Yoongi finally managed to speak....

...''They finally gave me my phone back... I was just in the middle of showing nana some memes.''...

...''Are you at your nana's house?''...

...''Mhmm.''...

...''Tell nana I said hi.'' Yoongi replied....

...''She said hi back.'' The younger giggled....

...''Are you feeling okay?''...

...''Yeah.'' The younger replied and Yoongi could already see him try to nod with his heavy head. ''I kept on screaming so they gave me these pills and son do I gotta say I feel great.''...

...''Are you high?''...

...''Yes, but sadly I cannot touch the sky.'' Yoongi heard a giggle from the other side of the line and then a muffled conversation. ''Hold up a bit nana is talking to me.'' He murmured into the phone....

...Yoongi quickly took another drag to calm down; he couldn't believe he was actually talking to the younger right now....

...''Nana said we can talk for twenty minutes.''...

...''I'll make every second count.''...

...''Where are you right now?''...

...''On the roof.''...

...''Were you gonna jump off?''...

...''Nah, not yet, we still have nineteen minutes and twenty-six seconds.'' The blonde joked....

...''Twenty-five.'' Another giggle was heard from the other side of the line....

...''Twenty-four.'' Yoongi continued....

...''Okay stop counting I'll throw up.''...

...''Why?''...

...''Cause numbers... They're shit. Wait, are you on your roof right now?''...

...''Yeah, I told you that a second ago.''...

...''Are you getting high again?''...

...''It's been a long week.''...

...''Got that right.''...

...''Shit...'' Yoongi murmured to himself. ''Jimin what the hell happened?''...

...''Life thought I was having it too good and decided to **** me in the ***... Literally.'' Yoongi couldn't help but shiver as the words escaped the younger's mouth....

...''Why did you never tell anybody about this?'' Yoongi asked, for a solid minute Jimin didn't speak. Yoongi could hear his breathing but his question never got an answer....

...''Yoongi?''...

...''Yeah, doll?'' He spoke as he took another drag....

...''Am I a bad person?''...

...''Of course not.''...

...''Be honest.''...

...''I am, you haven't done anything that's made me believe that you're a bad person.''...

...''Why do these things keep happening to me?'' The younger's voice was soft and quiet and it broke Yoongi's heart into tiny little pieces....

...''I don't know, doll... But I'm sorry that they do and I'm sorry that I don't keep a better eye out for you.''...

...''It's not your job to keep me safe, Yoongi. You've helped me through everything, even right now, you're talking to me, distracting me from everything. But you don't have to.''...

...''I'm not going anywhere; I told you I'm just a call away. No matter what.''...

...''I think we should cut our twenty minutes short... before we start crying.''...

...''Good idea.'' The blonde chuckled to hide his shaky voice....

...''Hey Yoongi...'' The younger's tone was once again soft and sweet....

...''Yeah?''...

...''Look at what day it is.'' Jimin spoke making the older look down at his phone to check the date. His jaw loosened up as he realized he forgot what today was....

...''Shit... I completely forgot...''...

...''It's okay, I remembered right before you called me.'' Jimin replied with a soft giggle....

...''It's been two years huh...'' The blonde spoke as the memories of that night played in his head....

...''Happy anniversary? If we can even call it that.'' Jimin spoke with a giggle....

...''Let's call it that.'' Yoongi agreed with a small smile. ''Happy anniversary, doll.''...

...''Buy me a cake.'' Jimin ordered making the older laugh....

...''Deal.''...

...''I'm gonna go now... I wanna fall asleep with a happy memory in my head.''...

...''Get some rest, I'll call you some more tomorrow if that's okay.''...

...''Don't call me, I'll call you.''...

...''Okay.''...

...''Bye hyung.''...

...''Bye doll.''...

...Yoongi placed the phone back into his pocket then took in a deep breath. He lit up the blunt, which went out due to Yoongi not using it enough during the conversation, and smoked the rest of it. He forced himself to smile as he thought of his and Jimin's anniversary. Well, if you could even call it that....

...Two years ago today, Yoongi and Jimin had sex for the first time. One year ago today, Yoongi and Jimin decided to be friends with benefits. Today, Yoongi sat alone on the roof of his house and Jimin was at his grandmother's house, being lulled into a drug-induced slumber. You would think that due to everything the pair has went through together that they would eventually fall in love and start dating. But that wasn't the case for this pair....

...Jimin had Taehyung and Yoongi had Jungkook, who was currently trying to call the blonde that was too high to realize his phone was ringing....
