"Min fucking Yoongi!"

Yoongi flinched away from the phone, his ear throbbing, not having anticipated the aggressive response on connecting the call with his boyfriend.

"Uh..."

"I called Jungkook up and guess what, the poor boy was bawling his eyes out to me on a phone call and there's nothing I could do about it!"

"He's crying?" Yoongi asked, his tone softening.

Jimin sighed, "yeah, he is. Well, was. He's most likely asleep now. He said he broke your laptop. And he was afraid you hated him. Heck, he was convinced about it. He was convinced about the fact that he ruined everything and we would leave him."

Yoongi's heart clenched, "I don't hate him."

"He needs to hear that from you, love. You know how it is for him. You know he can get insecure and right now, I'm not home. I'm not even close to home to console him. I can't stop him from spiralling, bub. Not with the distance. But you can. Look, I know you're upset—"

"I'm not," Yoongi interrupted, "I mean, I was. It was important. The project I was working on was important and when I saw my laptop damaged, I just...I saw red and I just...I know I ignored Jungkook but I didn't... I knew I would say something I didn't mean in the heat of the moment and I didn't want to hurt him that way. I needed space to cool off. Besides, Namjoon said he could help me retrieve what I lost."

"That's wonderful, bub. And I understand what you did and why you did it, but you get how Jungkook could misinterpret that, right? Plus, he isn't keeping well so his emotions must be all over the place right now."

"He isn't keeping well?" Yoongi asked, a sense of guilt washing over him because how could he miss that.

"No, he isn't."

"Fuck, I am a horrible boyfriend."

"You aren't. You were stressed with your project and it happens, bub. When we're stressed, we tend to lose sight of what actually matters. I've been there before, Jungkook too. You're not a bad boyfriend, not at all."

Yoongi managed a small smile, "I'm going home to him. He shouldn't be alone."

"If he isn't too bad, spank him for not telling us prior to this."

Yoongi chuckled, "I will but before that I think I owe him a million kisses."

"Wow. Never thought I'd hear such a cheeky sentence from the one and only Min Yoongi. What about my share of a million kisses?"

Yoongi laughed, "when you're back."

"Yay!"

"Jesus, I am dating two five year olds. That's for sure."

"Get home to Jungkookie. And cuddle him for me too, will you?"

"That I will."
