Cheeky brat, Yoongi thought when he read the last message. The corners of his mouth turned up.

Then he looked for the image Jungkook had sent him and stared at it for a few minutes. The drawing itself was a simple sketch, a couple of pencil strokes and lines with which the boy had given life to his imagination; but for a sketch, it was quite detailed, and it was almost as if Jungkook had intended to leave it black and white. Maybe it was because of the lack of colour, but Yoongi felt strange when he looked at the drawing. 

The drawing itself was nothing to write home about or something macabre: in its centre, there was a tree that was on a piece of land surrounded by water (at least that's what it looked like) and there was a row of stones that formed a path even the same. There was nothing around him to show that the tree was in an open or closed place, although Yoongi sensed that that was not the purpose of what Jungkook had done. What Jungkook had done was to draw every minute detail of the tree: it was not too large, perhaps a medium height, but the trunk seemed to be quite strong and leaves covered its crown and what appeared to be fruits. Yoongi recognized them, and each had a different shape.

Yoongi - 00:27

Hey, are you still awake?

Yoongi almost immediately regretted sending the message. Of course, Jungkook wouldn't be awake at that hour as if he were a night owl.

Jungkook - 00:28

Wait a minute, Hyung

Yoongi - 00:32

You Were Sleeping?

Sorry if I woke you up

Jungkook - 00:33

Don't worry Hyung

I was finishing cleaning everything

I almost didn't finish

Yoongi - 00:33

A busy night?

Jungkook - 00:34

Hahaha

Quite a lot, but I had a good time

It was a long time since we were all together

How was your night?

Yoongi - 00:35

Too much fuss

I couldn't hear my own thoughts

But it was okay. We haven't all met in a while

Jungkook - 00:35

I'm happy for you Hyung

These parties are to be spent with the family

Yoongi was not very clear on how to bring up the subject of the drawing without seeming that he had spoken to him solely and only for that reason, so he ended up going straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Yoongi - 00:38

Hey Jungkook

About the drawing ...

Jungkook - 00:38

Yes?

Yoongi - 00:41

It makes me feel sad

And I don't know if that is the feeling you wanted to convey

But it is what I perceive

It's like I want to cry

Everything is dark and sad

Off

Jungkook - 00:43

So...

Everything in dark colours?

Wait, do I colour it or leave it like that?

Yoongi - 00:44

Dark colours,

Except for the tree

Jungkook - 00:44

?

Yoongi - 00:45

The tree is the only thing that has colour

It is as if ... was born again

Needs bright colours

It's life and hope in the dark

With a groan, Yoongi dropped the mobile to his side while covering his face with one hand. He may have had too much to drink because it wasn't normal for him to say such poetic things unless it was about writing songs. However, he did not have time to continue to regret it.

Jungkook - 00:45

Thank you very much, Yoongi Hyung

I knew you were the right person

I'll show you the finished work when it's done

Slowly, Yoongi released the air he had been holding, relieved that Jungkook accepted his explanation. He also felt how his chest was filled with a pleasant heat that spread throughout the rest of his body at the fact that Jungkook considered him the ideal person for something that seemed so important to him. Yoongi knew very well what that feeling meant, the soft pink colour of his gem giving him away, but he preferred to think that it was pride in having been of help to his Dongsaeng. He didn't want to delve too deeply into his feelings, at least not for now.

Hope you like the chap. It's too early to think about what I'm writing. Before you ask the chap was written last night.
