The boys have finally made it back to South Korea after a grueling yet exhilarating promotional period in the US. Their spirits were high and they went back home with a new confidence after their win at the BBMAs, more excited than ever to deliver the best performances they can for their beloved Army.
Despite the cheery mood, Jimin could not help but feel a little off. He was sure that Yoongi had been increasingly pouty in the past few days, but he had no idea why, and whenever he tried to talk to him, the elder would just pretend to be busy and brush it off.
Jimin had enough however when the elder switched seats with Namjoon on the flight back to Korea and sat with Jin instead of Jimin like was originally planned. By that point Jimin was certain something was wrong.
The two had been together for years, and have had their fair share of fights, but they never ignored each other like this. And Jimin was sure that if the elder just told him what was wrong he would not hesitate to fix it, but this silent treatment was killing him, and he was determined to make it stop.
“Jin-hyung would you mind sitting with Namjoon-hyung, I need to talk to Yoongi-hyung alone” Jimin approached the two, timidly eyeing Yoongi, but Jin was quick to understand what was going on and swiftly moved to sit next to Namjoon, while Jimin gave him a grateful smile.
Yoongi was looking out the window, paying Jimin no attention. Jimin sat down next to him and turned to face the elder. Now that he was at such close proximity to Yoongi, Jimin’s stomach was doing flips, and he chewed on his bottom lip, debating what he should say.
“Hyung?” He asked in a small voice. Yoongi acknowledged him with a hum, still looking out the window.
“Hyung why are you ignoring me?” Jimin continued softly.
“What are you talking about?” Yoongi answered in a gruff voice.
“Oh come on don’t give me that crap, you have been so distant these past few days, hyung just tell me what’s wrong?” Jimin pleaded.
“I told you, I don’t know what you’re talking about, now if you don’t mind I was planning on sleeping through this long-ass flight” Yoongi said indifferently and turned his whole body towards away from Jimin who was on the verge of tears.
“Hyung I don’t know what I did to upset you but please just talk to me” Jimin’s voice was thick and he was now trying hard to stop the tears from flowing.
“Jimin stop bothering me” Yoongi mumbled.
By that point Jimin could not hold the river of tears any longer, he reached out a shaky hand to touch Yoongi, letting out incoherent whimpers.
As Jimin’s hand made contact with the elder’s back he felt him recoil beneath his fingertips. Jimin was now loudly sobbing, unable to control himself as his mind played a million scenarios, all of them ending with his boyfriend leaving him, and breaking his heart.
He curled up in a ball in his seat and let his sadness was over him, his whole body shaking with the force of his sobs.
“Fuck!” Yoongi snapped. “Jimin look at me” he said with a softer voice. but when Jimin did not respond, he reached out and caressed the younger’s hair.
Jimin jumped in his seat slightly as his boyfriend’s touch took him by surprise, and he stared at Yoongi with wide eyes while his bottom lip trembled.
“Okay I was mad at you” Yoongi admitted, looking down at his hands.
“But why?” Jimin croaked.
“I saw the way you were looking at that reporter guy, even Army saw it, it was all over the internet and I was jealous” Yoongi’s cheeks had a pink tint to them and he was now holding Jimin’s hands in his own, tracing his thumb all over the soft skin.
“Is that why you ignored me?” Jimin stammered “because of some guy we met for like 30 minutes?”
Jimin pulled his hands from Yoongi’s grasp and shoved him lightly. “You asshole! I have been racking my brain for days trying to figure out what I did wrong and this is what it was all about!” Jimin huffed.
“I know it’s stupid but I just couldn’t help it, that guy was really attractive and it bothered me that you were looking at him like that!” Yoongi reasoned.
Jimin narrowed his eyes “Looking at him like what exactly?”.
“like you wanted him” Yoongi mumbled.
“I gotta admit that man was a whole snack” Jimin smirked, making Yoongi look at his indignantly.
“But Hyung, I love you, just because there are attractive guys out there doesn’t mean any of them could ever compete with you. You’re my entire world hyung, I love you more than I can put into words, you have nothing to be jealous of” Jimin looked at Yoongi with so much love and warmth that the elder forgot for a second what he was upset about.
“I love you too Jiminie, so much, I’m sorry, it was stupid of me to make such a big deal out of this” Yoongi said apologetically.
“Yes it was” Jimin teased.
“Yah! You brat” Yoongi exclaimed in mock anger but his gummy smile betrayed his amusement.
“Next time you’re upset just promise me you’ll talk to me first, I can’t stand the silent treatment hyung” Jimin said gently. His hands were once again intertwined with Yoongi’s.
“I promise baby, I won’t ignore you like this again” Yoongi said, placing small pecks on jimin’s knuckles making the younger blush.
“I see you both sorted out whatever the hell was going on between you”
Yoongi and Jimin turned in the direction of the voice to see Jin looking at them both with a shit-eating grin, and Namjoon poking his head from his seat to give them a dimply smile.
They both blushed as they turned back into their seats.
“So, um, you wanna watch a movie?” Yoongi asked.
“Sure, you pick” Jimin placed his head on Yoongi’s shoulder.
“Toy Story!” Yoongi said excitedly.
“Really hyung?” Jimin said unimpressed.
“Hey I’ll have you know those toys are very endearing” Yoongi defended.
“So are you baby” Jimin cooed making Yoongi pout. Jimin let out a chuckle as he stretched over and placed a kiss right on Yoongi’s lips. The elder only took a second before he kissed his boyfriend back languidly, and tangled his hands in the younger’s hair, bringing him closer to deepen the kiss.
“Gross! Keep that shit in the bedroom you two!” Hoseok bellowed in mock disgust, making the two end their kiss abruptly.
“Shut up hobi, I’ll make out with my boyfriend is I damn well want to” Yoongi said as he pulled Jimin back for another kiss as the younger giggled.
“Fucking animals!” Hoseok taunted only to bark out a laugh when Yoongi flipped him off.
Jimin and Yoongi spent the rest of the flight watching movies while cuddling-as much as they could in their airplane seats- and stealing small kisses, before falling asleep with Jimin in Yoongi’s lap.
