For the first time in what felt like forever, Jungkook was content.
He felt calm, and everything was right with the world again.
He was back with his Jin-hyung.
He wanted to remain like this forever, but he also needed answers.
"Can we talk now, hyung? About what's been happening with us?"
He felt Jin go stiff, and he worried that the older will run again so he tightened his hold.
He felt himself panicking as he envisioned another month of this.
Maybe even more than a month, and he knew he wouldn't survive it.
"I'm sorry, hyung!" he blurted out. "I'm sorry for whatever it is I did wrong."
A sob broke from Jungkook.
"Please, hyung! I'm sorry!"
He began to cry earnestly.
He knew his tears were soaking through Jin's light blue pyjamas but he couldn't stop himself.
He was so afraid that his Jin-hyung was going to leave him.
Leave him for Frankenstein.
He knew Frankenstein had a name but he couldn't bring himself to think or say it because he disliked the man for coming out of nowhere and inserting himself between him and Jin.
Jungkook was so absorbed in his misery that he didn't notice when Jin wrapped his arms around him and began rubbing his back in soothing circles.
"Shh, Jungkook-ah. Don't cry. You did nothing wrong," Jin cooed.
This only made Jungkook cry harder.
"It's hyung. It's hyung's fault. Hyung was jealous."
There was silence as Jungkook digested what his hyung just said.
Jealous? What was there to be jealous of?
