Chapter 23;
Comfort

Yoongi sat in front of Jimin, watching as he scrolled through his phone, smiling at something before double-tapping the screen. Yoongi guessed he was on Instagram and was going through his feed, liking dumb shit and ignoring other shit. Yoongi rolled his eyes, always finding himself in this situation. He would sit and watch as Jimin would be on his phone, doing dumb shit. He would always wonder what made Jimin smile so wide and so big, what made him so happy? And why doesn't he smile like that towards Yoongi? What's going on? The two have been going out for two months - almost three - and Jimin still didn't want to go on a date with him! What in the actual fuck is going on?

Yoongi sighed and got up, glancing down at Jimin to see if he noticed. He didn't. So Yoongi kept walking, towards his - their - bedroom. Jimin moved in by the first month they started dating, which made Yoongi think they were going a bit too fast. He would at least like to wait a little longer, maybe four or five months, before they started moving in with each other. But it seemed Jimin wasn't having any of that. But Yoongi felt awkward when it came to nighttime because he didn't know what to do. Should he cuddle him? Should he kiss him? Yoongi tried cuddling but Jimin pushed him away, saying he gets hot too easily.

Yoongi doesn't know why, but he felt himself longing for Taehyung. Taehyung would always let Yoongi show affection towards him, he found it comforting. Yoongi loved how Taehyung wanted to cuddle with him twenty-four seven, how he talked to Yoongi late at night about dumb shit, which would always make Yoongi laugh. Yoongi loved how they would FaceTime each other until the other falls asleep (it was usually Taehyung but Yoongi would still keep the call going until he fell asleep or his phone died). Yoongi groaned and laid down, feeling his eyes get droopy. He felt an overwhelming sense of sleepiness and closed his eyes, only to open them up again in pure shock as his phone went off. Yoongi took it out of his pocket and answered it without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello..?"

"H-Hyungie..." Yoongi shot up after hearing the voice.

"Taehyung? What's wrong? Are you okay?" Yoongi could hear shuffling and then a muffled sob. He guessed that Taehyung moved his arm and put his hand over his mouth to quiet down his sobs. Yoongi's heart clenched at the thought.

"Don't worry, I'm coming over," Yoongi said into the phone before hanging up and bolting out of the house.

Jimin watched as he did so and shrugged, going back to texting someone.

Yoongi stumbled into the apartment and stood still for a moment, trying to hear if Taehyung had stopped crying. But he could hear the latter's sobs loud and clear. Yoongi sighed in sadness and opened Taehyung's bedroom door, looking at his shaking back. Yoongi frowned and felt his heart clench again before going and laying down next to him. Taehyung turned around and buried his head in his Hyung's chest, sobbing loudly into it. Yoongi wrapped his arms around the younger and brought him closer, smiling slightly when Taehyung wrapped his arms around his neck, his sobs quieting down a bit.

"Shh.. Shh... it's okay," Yoongi comforted, patting Taehyung's head. He kissed the top of Taehyung's head before petting it again.

"He.. he was there again.. he's always there," Taehyung sobbed, looking up at Yoongi. Yoongi's felt himself drown into a pit of sadness as he looked at the younger's face. He wiped off the tears and kissed his cheeks, not caring if Taehyung thought it was wrong of him to do so. Yoongi kept shushing him, smiling down at him.

"He can't hurt you anymore, he's locked away. Far away from you. He can't touch you, don't worry baby," Yoongi shushed, continuing to pet Taehyung. Taehyung nodded into Yoongi's chest and then looked up at Yoongi. Yoongi stared back at the younger, locking in his features once more. He saw how swollen his eyes were and how his lips were bleeding, probably from biting his lips too much. Yoongi sighed and leaned forward, capturing Taehyung's lips with his own. Taehyung gasped and tried to break away but Yoongi held him in place, not wanting the kiss to end. None of his kisses was like this with Jimin.

When Yoongi finally pulled away, he stared at Taehyung for quite awhile. Taehyung stared back, still confused about what the fuck just happened. Why did Yoongi kiss him?

As the two stared at each other, Taehyung slowly started to fall asleep, making Yoongi remember how they would do this over FaceTime. Yoongi smiled and kissed the younger's forehead before wrapping his arms around Taehyung's waist, placing his head in the nook of Taehyung's neck.

Yoongi thought for a bit. Every time he was around Taehyung, he would feel so happy and felt the need to hug him. He would always want to kiss him when he smiled, Yoongi just wanted to be with the younger always. And when he thought of the younger leaving him; he would feel an intense amount of pain.

And that's when Yoongi realized; He was in love with Kim Taehyung.
