Un-spoiling The Maknae

four

"You understand me, Right Yugyeom?"

Yugyeom sighed as he patted his fellow maknae's back.

Jungkook felt really conflicted, He went to Yugyeom, his close friend after the whole incident.

They spent the night bowling and talking about their hyungs

"I hate my hyungs. They bully me alot." Jungkook muttered as he sat down next to Yugyeom.

"My hyungs tease me, but I can't hate them for that." Yugyeom said and Jungkook huffed.

"At least they just tease you. My hyungs always bosses me around and when I want to play they're always busy and they hate me. I know it." Jungkook looked down as he sighed playing with the zipper of his jacket.

"You know your hyungs care for you okay Kookie-ah? Maybe you just get misunderstood, because you're the maknae and all." Yugyeom said

"Do you and your hyungs get misundersandings?" Jungkook asked and Yugyeom pondered for a moment.

"Well, we do. Maybe sometimes. But we talk it out. Or they just try to understand me, being the maknae and all. Bambam always understands me the most too, since we're the same age"

"The one who's close to my ahe is Taehyung. And he's even mad at me." Jungkook frowned, remembering how Taehyung said those harsh words to him last night.

Like he expected for his friend to comfort him.

I mean, They were close right?

Maybe not..

Jungkook almost felt tears pricking his eyes.

"I-I don't know what to do Yugyeom. It seems like everyone is against me. It's like no one is there to even comfort me or defend me. I feel so powerless against them. " Jungkook let out a whimper as he felt tears streaming down his cheeks.

"I t-try to change. I try to understand them, to understand they're being strict and I'm just too childish.. But.. I -I don't know." Jungkook wiped his tears, only to be replaced by new ones flowing down his cheeks.

"T-They all hate me." Jungkook said and Yugyeom hugged his friend and patted his back, trying to calm him down.

"They don't. There is just a gap between you and your hyungs. When you get back home, I'm sure they'll welcome you in open arms." Yugyeom said and Jungkook felt contented a bit.

"Thanks Yugyeom. I-I better go home now. Thank you for everything."

"That's what friends are for. I got your back Kook."

Jungkook's POV

We went home to our own respective dorms and I felt what Yugyeom said was right, they will welcome me with open arms. They're my hyungs right?

I opened the door and

"Jeon Jungkook, where the fuck were you!?" I gasped as I felt someone grab my wrist and pulled me in the dorm.

It was Jin-hyung.

He let go of my wrist and i held it, feeling that it will bruise in the morning.

"Where hae you been kid? Do you know how many times we called you?" Namjoon's voice boomed and I shivered as I looked behind me and saw my hyungs there. Suga, Jimin and Hoseok sitting on the couch.

Suga had a smirking face, while Hobi and Jimin just held faces of disappointment towards me.

I saw Taehyung who was just at the corner of the dorm looking at me with his blank face.

I turned to Namjoon and Jin-hyung again, feeling myself shrink with their gazes

"Answer your hyungs, don't be disrespectful kid!" I heard Suga hyung shout and I looked down to my shoes.

"I-I was with Yugyeom. We went bowling." I stuttered out and they glared at me

"You went out without letting anyone of us know?" Jimin suddenly spoke up.

"You went out without a bodyguard. You went out without even a mask or a cap!" Hoseok spoke up as well.

"B-But I got home right? A-And-"

"But what if reporters or media saw you? What if Sasaengs saw you and targeted you? What if someone followed you and kidnapped you?" Jin yelled and I kept looking down.

"Should I be trapped in here? Can't I go out and I don't know, have a life? Can't I go out with my friend? I'm fucking 20 years old!"

"Don't you fucking curse or raise your voice at your hyungs Jungkook." Namjoon yelled at me and I huffed.

"You're an idol Jungkook. I know it's not easy, but you have to deal with it." I heard Hobi mutter.

"Do us a favor and stop being this childish brat. " I finally heard Taehyung speak up and I just wanted to cry.

"Fine. Don't fucking bother me ever again." I shouted as I went into my room and locked the door.

I got on my bed and cried.

Welcome me with open arms.

Yeah, they exactly did that.

No one tried to even knock on my door to ask if I was ok.

The next day, I was still locked up in my room.

No one bothered to ask if I was hungry or if I was ok.

Not even Jin, Jimin or Hobi asked.

It was almost 2 pm when I went out of my room, I went outside and saw no one in the dorm.

But I did saw a note.

'Went out to go somewhere. Just make yourself food for lunch. We'll just order you dinner when we're back.

Don't make a mess.'

It was probably in Namjoon's writing.

I sighed as I looked into the cupboards, the fridge and saw nothing.

I was hungry but I didn't have a choice right?

I just went back into my room and tried to take a nap, despite being hungry.

Few hours later

It was already 10 pm.

I heard the locks from our door being turned and voices of my hyungs outside.

Oh, they're back.

I went out and saw them getting their shoes off.

"You guys are finally back! I'm starving. Where's the food?" I asked and Jin gasped.

"Oh no. Jungkookie, i'm sorry but we forgot... I'll just make you something later." Jin said

"B-But there's no food at all in the fridge." I said and Jin hit Namjoon's head.

"You were the one assigned to do grocery shopping Idiot!" Jin shouted and Namjoon let out a string of sorrys.

"We're so sorry Jungkook, I'll just go out later to-"

"No it's ok." I said as I looked at the others. Jimin and Hobi were playing video games while Suga was looking at their pictures.

Seems like they had fun without me.

"I'm going to bed." I said as I walked upstairs and laid down on my bed.

They don't even care about you.

They even forgot to bring you food.

The others weren't that concerned when you told them you were hungry.

Youre being pathetic. Stop trying to think they'll care for you.

No one still knocked to ask if I was okay.

Well that was expected afterall I mean, they all hate their spoiled and bratty maknae? Right?

Maybe I needed to listen to them more. So that they could understand me too.
