It's been a week since Jungkook saw them. A week since he has been walking around with this pain in his gut. It has been a week of confusion, a week from hell. 

Why was Hoseok hyung crying? Why was Yoongi hyung apologizing?

Both were important questions, but the real question that Jungkook needed an answer to was, why did it bother him so much seeing Hopey and Yoongi together?

One Week Earlier

He happened upon them accidentally on purpose. Or at least that was his plan, to accidentally bump in Yoongi, as the man was making his way to the recording room. But Taehyung had caught him after practice making it too late for Jungkook to carry out the original plan. He was not deterred he wanted to see Yoongi, he wished to spend some time with him, maybe even figure out what had caused the distance.

As Jungkook walks down the hall he tries to come up with a good reason as to why he was suddenly showing up to the cave. He picks up a muffled noise the closer he gets to his destination, and it sounds like, like, crying?

Was Yoongi hyung crying?

The boy quickens his steps. When he finally reaches the door, he is startled to see Jhope sobbing his heart out wrapped in Yoongi's arms. But it is Yoongi's word's and tone of voice that leave Jungkook shaken and confused.

The tone is intimate, he doesn't know any other way to describe it. It wasn't the tone of a man comforting a friend, it was more the sound of one consoling a lover or a spouse.

Yoongi's words were even more baffling. He kept apologizing, saying he never meant to hurt the other. The harder Hosoek cried the tighter Yoongi held him, and the larger the feeling of discomfort in the pit of Jungkook's stomach grew. He is not sure why, but he does not want to ever see Yoongi holding anyone that close to his body.

Anyone but, but... me?

He drops his head on the table, hard, as he remembers the thought.

"Kookie, you okay? That was quite the bang your head just took," Hoseok's voice is sweet and filled with concern.

Jungkook doesn't understand why he has an urge to punch the older boy.

F**k!

"I'm fine hyung," Jungkook gets up in hopes of making a speedy escape, and he would have left too had Yoongi not walked into the kitchen. The thought of leaving the two alone had Jungkook's stomach once again churning and to his own dismay the younger found himself sitting back down.

"Kookie want me to make you some tea?" Hoseok asks as he scrounges in the cabinets.

"Nae, hyung," the boy answers eyes firmly placed on Yoongi.

The man is now blonde and Jungkook is a little mesmerize by the way the color makes the older boy's hair look like spun gold. Jungkook wants to run his fingers through it, he'd like to touch a lot of things on Yoongi.

F**k!

Maybe staying in the kitchen is not a good idea. He decides he needs to leave, again. But when Yoongi takes the seat next to him on the bench, Jungkook wonders if the man is made from super glue because the youngster could not move.

Sh*t!

He drops his head in his hands.

No more looking.

"Hey, Hopey can I have a cup of tea too?" the oldest boy asks sleep still clinging to
