by the time yoongi and jimin had arrived at jeongguk's house, the sun was already set and the bright moon shone in the night sky. little yoongi was amazed by it. throughout the car ride, he had been rambling continuously about how he wanted to go to the moon and make friends with all the aliens. he claimed that he would give them cookies and they would be the best of friends.
jeongguk and jimin couldn't help but smile, the boy was just too adorable and they couldn't believe what the poor thing had gone through. it just wasn't fair.
jeongguk unbuckled yoongi's seatbelt and pulled him out of the car before placing him in jimin's awaiting arms.
jimin rubbed his nose against yoongi's as he walked into jeongguk's house with the latter following closely behind.
jeongguk's house wasn't as large as seokjin's, a mere three bedroomed home, but the rooms were each large and well-decorated. yoongi let out a small gasp as he ran around excitedly.
"woah! gukkie, your house is so pretty!"
"thank you, darling! come on, let me take you to my room. would you like minnie and gukkie to stay with you?" jeongguk responded as he lightly held onto yoongi's hand. yoongi nodded eagerly as he let himself be guided to jeongguk's bedroom.
his bedroom was rather basic aside from the large gaming pc in the corner of the room, two monitors to its side. led lights outlined the edges of the ceiling, shining a vibrant pink that yoongi was utterly in love with and shelves filled with collectable toys and figurines. little yoongi was in paradise.
jimin chuckled upon noticing the way yoongi's jaw was agape at the sight of the room, closing it with a smile. "do you like it, baby boy? gukkie's room is pretty cool isn't it?" jimin cooed as yoongi nodded. he watched the little one make his way over to one of the shelves of figurines, his eyes wide and curious as he picked one up.
"it looks like kumamon... uh oh..." yoongi's heart dropped as the terrible reality hit him. "g-gukkie! i left kumamon at home with eomma! e-eomma no like kumamon, she's gonna... she's gonna h-hurt him, gukkie! g-gukkie, minnie, we have to save him! we have to! please! i-i don't wanna sleep without kuma! he's yoonie's bestest friend i-in the entire world ever! i-i need him! i need him!"
yoongi's sudden cries instantly made both caregivers' stomachs drop as they hurried over to the sobbing boy. "hey, shh... it's okay. it's okay... we'll get your kumamon, darling, but for now we need you to stop crying, okay? come on, little one, you're okay, i promise," jimin whispered, his voice soft like honey in yoongi's ears. jeongguk held onto the other gently, rocking him slowly as he hummed soothingly. yoongi didn't want to let go of them, he felt so safe in his arms. how could they be so perfect?
before long, yoongi's screeching wails reduced into gentle sniffles with small tears occasionally rolling down his reddened cheeks. by now, jeongguk had taken yoongi and laid him on his bed as he was held by him and jimin with the two of them whispering sweet and soothing words into his ears. "yoonie, you're such a strong baby, y'know? you're so brave, so strong, so admirable. like a little soldier... you did so well in calming down there, little one," jeongguk praised, fingers running through the blonde hair softly. the corners of yoongi's pouty lips curled up into a small smile as he buried his face into jimin's chest.
"darling, could you tell me where you live? i want to go and get kuma for you, little one," jimin spoke up again. yoongi sniffled and shook his head. "nuh-uh... y-yoonie wants to come too. please? pretty please?" the little one begged quietly, sparkling eyes looking up at jimin. jimin just couldn't say no to him, but he didn't want him to go home knowing that it wasn't a safe space for him. but then again, there was a slight chance that his mother wouldn't even acknowledge them or would even be out of the building. jimin was slightly conflicted, but with the ridiculously adorable puppy dog eyes yoongi was giving him, he didn't have the heart to say no.
"fine... but gukkie has to come too, okay? we don't want anyone to hurt our precious little baby boy now do we?~" jimin cooed, fingers tickling yoongi's sides slightly. yoongi let out a soft giggle at the feeling and nodded. "g-gukkie, can yoonie b-bring a lot of other stuff too...? w-wanna stay with gukkie forever and ever and ever... i-i don' wanna be with eomma no more... s-she's super-duper mean!" yoongi pleaded, turning to face jeongguk and his lovestruck stare.
"well, of course, you can, angel. bring anything you want and stay with gukkie for as long as you want. you could even share this bedroom with me!"
yoongi squealed happily at jeongguk's response, being quick to smother his caregiver in mass amounts of kisses as a thank you. "gukkie's the bestest ever! y-yoonie love you so much! a-an' yoonie love minnie too! d-don' tell daddy, but minnie an' gukkie a-are yoonie's favourites! shh! secret!"
the caregivers just felt their hearts melt at the sweet words, both holding yoongi tightly and neither one being willing to let the boy go. they were both so madly in love with him, just as he was with them and it was the perfect embrace for them. it was a moment the trio wished could last forever.
~~~
jeongguk had driven yoongi and jimin over to yoongi's house. neither of them had seen yoongi's house before, and neither of them wanted to see it again. the garden in front of the building was an overgrown mess, a muddle of trees and shrubs. plastic bags and empty beer cans inhabited the garden, taking the place of what could be beautiful birds and insects and made the place look like more of a wreck than a garden. jimin frowned at the sight. yoongi didn't deserve to live there.
the area itself was sketchy, the houses on the street looking worn down and small. yoongi, still in little space, let out a small whine as he was met with the place. he hated it here, it held nothing but bad memories for the boy. he just wanted to get his precious kumamon and go back to jeongguk's place to relax in the boys' arms.
"ready, sweetheart?" jeongguk asked as he opened the door for yoongi. yoongi nodded and held onto his hand tightly, biting his lip nervously as he watched jimin nearing his eomma's house. he gulped as he guided jeongguk over to the building, watching as jimin knocked hesitantly on the door. upon receiving no response, yoongi let out a low whine and walked into the building.
he saw his mother from the living room with her 'friends', surrounding the small coffee table. he knew exactly what they were doing and knew that his mother would not be sober enough to acknowledge her son's existence.
yoongi was instantly pulled out of his headspace when he made eye contact with a certain someone. wonjun's lips curled up into a sickening smirk. "i'll be back, love," he said to yoongi's eomma, his eyes not leaving the terrified yoongi. "gonna have fun with youngji, eh?" came his eomma's response, the woman too influenced by the white powder to even remember her own son's name. that hurt. she was too stoned to even care that this monster was planning on forcing himself on her son.
yoongi stumbled back into jeongguk's arms, sighing in relief as the younger boy wrapped his arms around his slim waist. wonjun noticed this and snarled at the two other boys. "who are you?"
"we're yoongi's boyfriends." jimin responded without hesitation, wrapping an arm around yoongi's shoulders.
wonjun frowned upon hearing that and shook his head. "no. this fucking... this boy... fuck, fuck he's mine. mine, understand?" the man was stoned beyond mindful comprehension, not knowing that the hell he was doing as he dared to reach out for the shaking pale boy.
jimin stepped in front of yoongi without hesitation and glared daggers at the stoned man in front of them. the other occupants of the house were much too lost in their own minds to notice the troubles occurring right outside that room. "don't you dare lay a hand on him. who are you, huh? are you wonjun? are you?!" jimin bellowed, resisting the undying urge to utterly beat the hell out of the man. "you a cop? huh? i'm not wonjun... i'm wonjun, you fucking pig,"
jimin laughed at that, pushing the man against the wall as his fist collided with his face. blood oozed from wonjun's now bent nose. "you fucking bastard!" jimin growled, kicking wonjun's miniature balls. "how fucking dare you lay a hand on my baby! how fucking dare you! you're disgusting!" jimin threw punch after punch, relentless as he left the junkie a bloody, beaten mess.
jeongguk reluctantly pulled jimin off the man. as much as he enjoyed watching jimin beat the hell out of yoongi's attacker, he didn't want jimin to get into too much trouble, such as getting done for murder. based on the area yoongi lived in, jeongguk guessed that something such as assault wouldn't really be looked into by the police. it was probably all too common and he was thankful to have been raised away from such a place, but unfortunately, yoongi wasn't that lucky and jeongguk could only pity him.
yoongi was shaking in fear at the sight of jimin panting heavily, his breathing shaky with rage. jimin always seemed so sweet and calm, and yoongi was so shocked to see this new side of him full of unbridled rage. but... it was for him. jimin had assaulted wonjun for him, out of his love for him and yoongi was strangely... happy.
yoongi was quick to hold onto jimin tightly, grabbing jeongguk's arm as he pulled them up the creaking stairs and into his room.
black mould painted the walls, causing jimin to scrunch up his nose in disgust. how could someone let his precious yoongi live in such unsanitary conditions?
"jimin," yoongi spoke up quietly, holding his precious kumamon plushie close to him, wide kitten-like eyes staring at jimin ever-so innocently.
"yes, sweetheart?" jimin answered, taking yoongi's hand into his.
"why did... why did you say that you and guk were my... were my boyfriends?" came the question jimin was expecting.
truth be told, he had no clue why he said it. he figured it was his deep desires speaking for themselves. forcing a false reality upon him in which that was the case.
"do you..." yoongi began. "do you like me, jimin?"
jimin was silent for a while, jeongguk watching on in interest and without jealousy. "i do," jimin finally said, eyes staring directly into yoongi's. "i do like you, hyung. and i like jeongguk... which is funny because, well, i've been head over heels for guk ever since the start of this whole fiasco. but i can assure you, min yoongi, you are one of the greatest things to ever happen to me and i would be crazy to not catch some sort of feelings for you. you're so beautiful, selfless, caring, talented, funny, adorable and you're everything i could ever want in a boyfriend. it was only natural for me to see you in such a way, hyung. i understand entirely if you don't feel the same, but yes, i do like you,"
yoongi's eyes were downcast for a few moments until jeongguk's voice filled his ears. "i like you too, hyung. it's blatantly obvious at this point how fucking whipped i am for you. maybe, jiminie, what you said could become a reality. yoongi, if you like us back... would you be our boyfriend?"
yoongi's heart stilled in his chest. how did he end up here? how the fuck did he ever get to the point where jeon jeongguk was asking him to be his and jimin's boyfriend? months ago, the masked bully would have laughed at the situation, but now, yoongi felt butterflies in his stomach like a tornado. jimin was so sweet, clearly protective, funny and heartwarming, jeongguk was dominant, caring and understanding. yoongi had never met people so devoted to a person, especially not him. yoongi felt crazy to deny the offer. he was madly in love with jeongguk, he had grown to accept that, but now he had also realised that he loved park jimin as well. it explained what happened in the janitor's closet though. so yoongi smiled brightly, his gummy smile melting the hearts of the two males before him as he nodded eagerly, jumping into jeongguk's strong arms
"yes, i would... i would love to be your boyfriend."
