Is Yoongi worth it?

~~~~~~~

The next day, Jungkook and Jimin left the cave when the sun came up. They walked down the beach with a small distance between them, the only sound being the waves of the ocean sliding against eachother and their footsteps on the sand.

They sat at the bus stop and silently waited for the bus to come.

A tumbleweed tumbled past them, adding sound to the silence they created.

After the night before, Jimin was waiting for Jungkook to speak first, but Jungkook was doing the same.

While boarding the bus, Jungkook made sure to hold on to the rails next to the seats while walking to the middle of the bus while Jimin paid. Miraculously, his phone and wallet didn't get wet after the day before's activities, it was like they weren't even there while he was swimming.

Jimins pov

Sitting in silence, next to someone who you want to talk to but also cant could make 2 hours feel way longer than it really is. And that's how Jimin feels right now.

He wants to talk to Jungkook but the deal they made was too good to pass up!

Last night

"Is Yoongi worth it?"

That question caught Jimin offguard. It shouldn't have but it did. He should've known Jungkook knew who he was talking about, afterall he is the one who told him that he likes Yoongi.

"I don't know anymore." Jimin answered truthfully, he sighed. "He was before, but he's been so focused on making that song for Hobi hyung, we've barely talked this week. I mean, of course I want him back, but I feel like I'll just waste my time trying. He likes Hobi a lot. I don't want to come in between them you know? I love Hobi hyung too," Jimin could feel the tears form in his eyes, "I feel so selfish for wanting Yoongi hyung to myself, but I can't think of anyone else being with him." Jimin feels a tear fall down his face. It took until he sobbed that Jungkook realized he was crying.

"Oh hyung..." he pulled his hyung into a hug, it was quite awkward because their tails kept clashing into eachother, but it was still sort of comforting to Jimin. "Its okay hyung! Everyone gets that feeling sometimes, it's inevitable. It's life, we can't always have what or who we want." At these words, Jimin broke down even more.

"B-but I-I love him so much, Jungkook!" He clung onto Jungkooks torso tightly. "I can't see myself with anyone other than him! What am I supposed to do when I finally lose him?!"

"You can face it and move on." Jimin caught a hint of an unknown feeling in Jungkooks voice, he didn't know what, so he shrugged it off.

"Hyung, I know I haven't known you for the past 4 years, but I believe that you're strong and capable enough to move on, and if you can't, remember you're not alone. You have Jin hyung, Namjoon hyung, me. So much support. You have people who love you, so don't be sad when the one person you want to love you, doesn't."

Jimin loosened his hold on Jungkook to look up at him.

"You're only 16, how do you know this much about love?" Jimin saw how hesitant Jungkook was to answer, but he did anyway.

"I might have experienced something like this before..." Jimin pulled away even more to wipe his tears in order to see Jungkook clearer.

"Really?" The younger nodded. "You were in love?" To this he shook his head.

"It was more like a crush."

"Before or after I left?" Jimin again noticed how Jungkook hesitated to answer his question. It was like he didn't want Jimin to know!

"Both." He answered shortly, avoiding Jimins gaze.

How could I not notice? Jimin thought. He thought he was a horrible friend for not knowing or realising that Jungkook had a crush on someone. He was his best friend, he was supposed to notice these things!

"It wasn't that serious you know? Now that I look back, it was just a short time thing. You know, child stuff..." Jungkook chuckled. He seemed like he was trying to save himself because he was speaking so fast. Jimin tried to find his eyes but Jungkook wasn't allowing it. Jimin just gave up at one point and started playing with his magic. He focused on the balls and streams of water he maneuvered in the air, not paying any attention to Jungkook, who was now staring at his hyungs small hands.

"Wow hyung! Your hands are small!" He pointed out. At hearing this, Jimin was shocked and lost control of the water as it dropped back into the pool.

"Wow, thanks." He blushed, he tried to sound sarcastic and hide his flaming cheeks from the younger. It was no use because Jungkook saw them anyway, but he decided not to comment on it.

"Seriously hyung! They're tiny! Give me your hand!" Jungkook held out his hand for the older to place his on, but he didn't want to be teased for his hand size, especially from a dongsaeng.

"Jungkook!"

"Just let me see hyung please!" Jungkook pouted and widened his eyes to try to convince his hyung.

It worked.

"Ok ok here." Jimin surrendered and put his hand into Jungkooks.

"Wow and chubby too." Jungkook mumbled, resulting in Jimin softly hitting him. "Im just kidding." He chuckled. The younger male held up their hands pressed together to show how much smaller Jimins hand was than his. Smiling at the older, he intertwined their fingers together, receiving a smile back from Jimin.

"You're adorable Kookie." He giggled, then dropped their hands back into the water.

"I know." He answered and Jimin laughed, splashing water on Jungkook, who also started laughing.

"It's late Jungkook, we should sleep." Jungkook pouted.

"Oh but hyung! It's fun staying up with you." He whined, Jimin cooed at how cute the younger was, but still told him to sleep.

"Ok fine!" He huffed and turned around, not facing Jimin and trying to get comfortable.

Jimin giggled at the younger actions and moved out towards the water to float. He relaxed as he felt the water lightly drift him to sleep, but he was interrupted by none other than Jeon Jungkook.

"Hyung?" He called out. Jimin groaned in response and opened his eyes again.

"You know that yellow sweatshirt you have?" Jimin looked up curiously to the younger and raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah what about it?"

"I want it." He said bluntly.

"hA!" Jimin laughed, not floating anymore and looking towards Jungkook.

"Like I'd give it away! You know I love that sweatshirt!"

"But hyungggg, it's so nice! Please let me have it."

"No Jungkook buy your own." He laughed. As he laughed, he saw Jungkook deep in thought, his eyebrows bunched up.

"How about..." He started,"we make a bet?" Jimins interest was piqued, he moved closer to Jungkook.

"What kind of bet?" He asked curiously, while staring at the younger.

"We don't talk to eachother tomorrow but the first one to break has to give the other what they want. My case being the sweatshirt." Jungkook states, proud of his proposition.

"Hmmm..." Jimin played with the imaginary hair on his chin and laughed. "You've got yourself a deal Kook." They shook hands on it and went to sleep soon after.

~~~~~~

That's why they aren't talking now, Jimin doesn't even know what he'll ask from the boy but what he does know is that he doesn't want to give up that sweatshirt, Yoongi gave it to him, and it looks great on him. Why would Jungkook want it anyway? It's obviously too small for him, he knows he can't fit Jimins clothes.

As Jimin was thinking about the previous night's events, he looked over to find Jungkook sleeping, his head hanging down. He carefully moved Jungkooks head onto his shoulder for comfort. Jungkook squirmed around but stayed asleep on his hyungs shoulder.

~~~~~~~

Jimin shook Jungkook awake when the bus came to a stop, it was still early in the morning and they hadn't eaten yet, so Jimin wanted to invite Jungkook inside for breakfast.

Once they got off, they started walking to Jimins house still in silence. The sound of their shoes was all that was heard on the concrete beneath them. It was truly boring, so boring that Jimin was beginning to consider giving up his sweatshirt. However, before he could speak his thoughts, Jungkook cut him off.

"Ok hyung I can't do this anymore, I give up. It's honestly too quiet for me and I'll give up the sweatshirt just to hear your voice."

"Wow, the one who suggested this bet was the one to surrender." Jimin chuckled, looking over to the younger as they walk.

"Shut up!" He laughed as Jimin faked an insulted look.

"I'm your hyung! Respect me before I hit you!"

"Hyung we all know I'd get you back and harder." He said while laughing.

"Whatever."

~~~~~~~

After they ate, Jungkook left because he was sure his hyung at home would be worried sick about him. Jimin retreated into his room when Jin followed him inside.

"So how was it?" He asks sitting on the youngers bed.

"How was what?" He asked, opening his laptop. He had homework to do, and he should've done it the day before but he could resist Jungkook.

"Your first time?" Jimins eyes tripled in size. First time?! With Jungkook?!

"Hyung no! That's not what happened oh my gosh! We didn't do anything like that! Besides, I don't like him like that, I told you!" Jimin cringed at the thought of human sex. He didn't particularly get excited at the thought of the intimate action, he just thought it was a normal activity humans do for when they're bored.

"Well why not Jimin! Jungkook is great for you, maybe you should go after him while you can. One day, he might be snatched up and so in love with someone, while youre sad that you never got a chance with him. He treats you so well, and I can tell he likes you-"

"He doesn't hyung."

"And how would you know? You're so focused on Yoongi, that you don't even notice how Jungkook feels about you. You wouldn't know if he likes you or not." Jimin stayed silent, listening to Jin speak because he knows he'd get hit if he interuppted again.

"Why do you want me to be with him so bad?" He asked silently.

"Jimin, he's sweet, caring, handsome, and you look both cute together. But most importantly, Jimin, he's a merman, like us, like you. You can take him home, you can show your parents who you're dating and see if they like him. You can go on the perfect underwater dates with him. You can't do those with Yoongi, and it's not like you could stay like me. You're a prince, you have responsibilities. You'd have to break up anyway. And that would be a relationship gone to waste because you can't stay. I'm just trying to get you to notice the opportunity you have."

"I never thought of it like that." Jimin said, pondering what he was told. "I understand, but I still love Yoongi hyung, and I don't like Jungkook like that." He shook his head.

"That's fine, but, please don't go after Yoongi. Please."

Why is he pleading?

Jimin didn't get to answer before Jin got up and walked to the door.

"So you didnt have sex?" He asked one more time.

"No hyung oh my gawt! Get out!" Jimin laughed. And this time, Jin left, claiming the he was going out to lunch with Namjoon.

"Ok have fun hyung!" He called out before setting his eyes back on the papers he needs to write.

~~~~~~~

2 hours later

Jimin was in the midst of his homework when he got a call.

Who could be calling?

The screen showed the name "♡Yoongles♡" as his ringtone played an exo song he loved.

He answered at the 6th ring, not wanting to come off as desperate.

"Hi hyung!"

"Hi Jimin! I have news that I wanted to tell you!"

"News?"

"Yes great news!"

"Well go on, no ones stopping you!" He chuckled.

"Ok don't freak out, but guess what?!"

"What?"

"I asked Hobi out! And he said yes!"

Jimin felt his world crashing down. Hearing those words broke him. But he couldn't show that to Yoongi, even if it was just over the phone. He did his best to mask his disappointment. It seemed to work on Yoongi even though he couldn't even convince himself.

"Hyung that's great..."

"I know right! This has been a great 2 days for me so far. So how about you Jimin?"

"What about me?"

"How are you and Jungkook?"

Thats when he snapped.

"Ughhh! Why does everyone think I'm dating Jungkook?! I'm not! So stop assuming!"

"Oh I'm sorry Jimin I didnt-"

But he had already hung up. Tears forming in his eyes from the empty feeling in his chest, Jimin laid down onto his bed holding a pillow to punch, cry on, and scream into. He shouldve saw it coming, but he didnt. He didnt expect them to move so fast. He thought they would at least give it some more months, but they didnt, and now his heart is in a million billion pieces. He was thinking of calling Jungkook, but he had already heard his name enough today. He also had a lot to think about for their relationship going forward, he wanted Jungkook to be his friend but others comment otherwise.

What should he do?
