Yoongi tapped his foot impatiently.

Why hadn't Jungkook looked at him in the past hour?

Usually when Yoongi is pretending to be learning from Namjoon in ethics class, Jungkook plays this game called "Make Yoongi Laugh." He'll make weird faces, send him funny pictures, prank on Jimin— anything to make Yoongi laugh.

Yoongi usually has to then play the "Don't Laugh or Namjoon Will Be Mad" game.

Today, Jungkook seemed to be avoiding his eyes. Each time he tried to even slightly get his attention (having to be conspicuous as to not grab any other student's attention) Jungkook just seemed to ignore him.

It was time to pull out the big guns. Time to play "Make Jungkook Notice Me."

Yoongi pulls out his phone and sends him a funny picture that he had taken of Namjoon at the movies, popcorn on his ears as he had fallen asleep.

He watches as Jungkook looks down at his phone and unlocks it, only for his face to fall into a pout, and then go back fo listening to Namjoon's boring lecture which Jimin found so interesting obviously.

Yoongi: Hey, what's wrong?

Yoongi: Yah, stop ignoring me you punk, I see you looking at your phone.

Yoongi: Dude, you know you can talk to me.

He sees Jungkook finally grab his phone and just as he sees the bubble that he's typing—

"Mister Park, care to explain to your friend Mister Jeon—" Jungkook's head snaps up and he places his phone down. "Why it is important he pays attention to my lecture?"

Jimin sees that Namjoon points ever so slightly over at Yoongi and the student is quick to notice the phone in hand. He turns to his friend and sighs. "We've got an essay to write on how the evolution of Ethics came to be and how it has affected our laws and society in general."

Jungkook stands and bows. "Sorry Mister Kim, I'm just not feeling well. With your permission, I'd like to just go home for the day and look over Jimin's notes tomorrow."

Namjoon dismisses him with a simple wave of a hand and continues his lecture.

Damn you Joon, fucking cock block. Yoongi can't stand and go right after Jungkook, it'd be too obvious. And he knows Namjoon did that on purpose so he can't go back on his phone.

"Mister Min." Yoongi looks up at his friend who has a sympathetic look on his face, but a fake tone of authority. "You may leave today, there's not much to learn from me. Kim Seokjin may need your assistance more than I do."

Yoongi smiles as he bows and takes his things, trying not to seem too excited about leaving. He quickly leaves and catches up to Jungkook.

"Yah, Jungkook."

Jungkook turns around, and it saddens Yoongi to not see the usual excited smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" The two come to a stop in the middle of the hallway. "What's going on?"

Jungkook takes a deep breath in as he closes his eyes, collecting his thoughts. He opens his eyes and his expression changes to serious. "Are you and Hoseok dating?"

Yoongi's eyes widen. "W-What?"

"I was hanging out with Yugyeom at the bar and I saw you two kiss." Jungkook looks down at his fidgeting hands. "Are you guys dating or was it maybe a drunk, like... mistake or experiment?"

What could he say? He could never lie to Jungkook, but he didn't know how to answer that question without giving the wrong idea. Yoongi wasn't even sure if Hoseok and him were dating. He wouldn't call it dating, they kissed and agreed to somehow seduce Jungkook.

"We're not dating." Truth. "I guess we both had too much to drink." Not true. "We said some things and came to an agreement that we should just remain friends." Somewhat a lie, the two had shared a few words but nothing of the matter.

"Okay..." Jungkook nods as he looks back down. "Hyung," He looks up as he scratches his neck. "I like Hoseok."

Ouch. That hurt. Of course, he wouldn't say he likes him or by some miracle that Jungkook would continue his statement with "and you."

"Really?" Yoongi tries to smile and seem as supportive as possible. "That's great Jungkook." He pats his shoulder. "You guys would be great together."

"But hyung," He shakes his head, his black bangs falling over his eyes. "I know he likes you."

"What? What makes you say that?" Yoongi knew this but how did Jungkook know?

"Because I've known him for so long." His shoulders slump as he finishes his sigh of frustration. "I know that when he first started liking Jimin he would non stop talk about him and always gush over him and somehow every conversation lead to Jimin and everything somehow related to Jimin. And he's doing the same with you."

That made Yoongi's heart warm and he struggled to hide the smile from his face.

Did Hoseok really care about Yoongi that much? "But what makes you say he doesn't like you? He's like that about you too! He always talks about you, always brings you up in conversation, relates the most random things to you—"

"We've known each other for long though." Jungkook shrugs. "I'm just his best friend. That's what we do... He doesn't see me that way."

And now, Yoongi had to make a decision. Wouldn't Namjoon love to solve this moral dilemma for him? Let it go and hope Jungkook acts upon his own judgement, or...

"I know he likes you. He told me so."

Jungkook's head snaps up. "Wait, r-really?"

"Yeah, at the bar, he told me he liked you." True. "And that's why we wouldn't work out." Lie.

It hurt to make this decision, but really, Jungkook and Hoseok were perfect for each other. What did Yoongi have that Hoseok didn't? Or that Jungkook didn't?

I'm better off left out that picture. It's just a fantasy.

"What should I do?" There it was. The smile. Jungkook's bunny teeth, bright eyes, passionate voice. Hoseok was his music.

"I think you should just talk to him about it." Yoongi smiles, slightly forcing himself to. "I'm sure he'll love to know you feel the same way."

Jungkook quickly wraps his arms around Yoongi and sighs. "Thank you hyung, I'm so glad you're my friend."

Yoongi's eyes fall as he watches Jungkook run off to find his soon to be boyfriend.

Friend. That's all he'll ever be.

Sorry Hoseok, seems like Jungkook is only meant for one of us.
