Tae thought he heard something outside so he said, "Um guys I think we should check outside..."
"Oh I think that's Jungkook cleaning up the lanterns he broke but I'll check." Namjoon said.
"Jungkook smashed the lanterns? The rainbow ones?" Jimin asked. He loved those lanterns for some reason.
"Yeah... he just got so mad from that manga," Namjoon answered.
Right the "manga." What is it with Jungkook and breaking things with light inside them? My lamp, the lanterns, and... me. My heart lit up for you Jungkook... but you broke that too... Jimin thought.
Namjoon stopped dead in his tracks as soon as he opened the door to outside. When everyone saw the commotion, their jaws dropped to the floor in bewilderment.
Jungkook and Yoongi were fighting on the floor, each equally bloody.
"Uhh uhhh." Was all that came out of Namjoon's mouth.
"NAMJOON DO SOMETHING!" Tae yelled.
"Well l-let's see here!!" Namjoon stuttered as he flipped through the pages of a kpop-idol-manual. "If members get in a fight the first thing you should do is break it up!" He said, reading a page.
Tae started rushing over to Jungkook and Yoongi, who were strangling each other now.
"Hey I need some help over here!!" Tae beckoned to the bystanders.
Namjoon shook his head. "You guys know I'm a passivist... and I ain't strong either..."
Jimin and Hobi shared a look. Hobi didn't want to touch Yoongi because that would be beyond awkward. And Jimin didn't want to touch Jungkook for the same reason.
Jin ran over instead. Taehyung yanked Jungkook and Jin yanked Yoongi, pulling the brawling boy's away from each other. Even apart, they stared menacingly at the other, growling and grinding their teeth like two dogs who can't get along.
Tae turned Jungkook around. "Jungkook that's enough," Tae said sternly. "What's going on here?" He whispered.
"I'll tell you everything later when I can hyung..."
Tae frowned. "I can't believe this happened..." he said.
Namjoon read the next direction: "Okay, uh next is to clean any possible injuries..."
They were tattered with blood and bruises, but luckily not enough to go to the hospital.
The only ones not doing anything were Jimin and Jhope. Namjoon looked at them, "Jhope can you get bandaids and medicine for Suga, and Jimin can you get the same for Jungkook please."
Jimin and Jhope cringed on the inside. But both nodded anyway.
"Let's bring them inside where it's not as hot," Namjoon said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tae and Jin did as told and made the two sit apart in different rooms. Jin brought Suga to one of the bathrooms with a first aid kit, and Jhope followed. Then Jin put Suga gently on the edge of the bathtub.
"Ow ow it really hurts..." Yoongi moaned.
"Jhope you patch up Yoongi while I make sure no one gets in and no one gets out of this room," Jin said as he closed the door.
Jhope cleared his throat and grabbed the first aid kit.
Yoongi had a blank, cold stare plastered on his face as he watched Hobi fumble to get the ointment.
"I guess I have to put this on you..." Jhope said reluctantly.
"I can do it myself," Suga grumbled and tried to snatched the ointment. But in the process his arm hurt and burned like hell. "Fuck ow... never mind..." he mumbled.
Jhope let out a breathe before reaching out and applying the medicine to Yoongi's injured skin. He started with his arm and slowly smeared the clear liquid on him.
Yoongi flinched at his touch, something that never used to happen with him.
Yoongi's cheek was grazed so Jhope went there next. It was almost like he was caressing Yoongi's face like he used to...
Yoongi made sure to pull his eyes the other way.
Jhope gulped when he noticed the neck injuries. But he rubbed Yoongi's sore neck anyway with the ointment. It felt too intimate for the both of them. Especially with it just being the two of them in a small space... and the touching.
"Y-Yoongi I can ask Seokjin to do this instead if you want," Jhope said.
Suga rolled his eyes. "Hobi I'm in pain, can you please just get it over with before I bleed out?" Yoongi snapped.
Jhope didn't argue and moved to Yoongi's bleeding leg, quickly dabbing the liquid and wrapping it in a bandage.
"Wait..." Suga said. "There's one more place." He lifted up his shirt slowly to reveal the wound on his chest.
Jhope almost choked. He shakingly swiped his fingers down Yoongi's injured chest. Yoongi's heartbeat could be felt by Hobi and it was extremely high. It was pounding. He tried to ignore it, then gently placed the bandaid.
"Anywhere else...?" Jhope asked.
"No, I don't think so." Yoongi replied.
"Yoongi what happened... between you and Jungkook?" Jhope asked.
Yoongi looked away from the orange haired boy. "I got mad at him." He answered.
Typical Yoongi answer... Jhope thought, then decided to press deeper, with the questions that is.
"Okay but why did you get mad at him?" Hobi asked.
"Because... he told me he just wanted Jimin for his body. And also... because that made me so mad that I took all of my anger out on you last night... I'm so sorry Hoseok... I should've apologized several hours ago but I just didn't realize how painful that must've been until now that I'm ironically hurt as well. Anyways, you absolutely deserve to be angry at me... but I wish you could give us another chance..." Yoongi finished.
The two were staring at each other's eyes in the silence that followed Yoongi's last few words.
Yoongi leaned in and kissed Jhope, hoping that his apology was enough to fix everything. Jhope kissed back... but only for a second until he stopped himself.
He pulled away and said, "Yoongi, I'm sorry. When I said we're done, I meant it. I can't be with someone who is capable of that much anger and human torturing..."
Yoongi felt some tears slip down his cheeks and sniffled as he nodded and bit his lips. "You're right Jhope. I'm a monster. I don't deserve someone like you and I never will." Yoongi cried more.
Jhope scooped up Yoongi bridal style. "J-Jhope..." Yoongi mumbled.
"Hey Jin can you let me carry Yoongi to his room please. He needs to lay down for a bit..." Jhope said loud enough for Jin to hear through the walls.
Jin opened the door and looked around to make sure Jungkook wouldn't run up and continue the fight with Yoongi more. "Yes go ahead Hope," Jin said as he motioned for them to go down the hall.
Jhope carried the smaller boy and placed him on the bed. The bed where he was "tortured."
"Yoongi, I appreciate and accept your apology but I'm sorry... we can't get back together. I hope we can get past this and move on so we don't have to be awkward anymore with each other." Jhope said.
Yoongi breathed heavily as he was recuperating from the breakdown. "I... I understand Hoseok. If that's what you want, you deserve to be happy and have someone who will love and cherish you in the way I couldn't..." Yoongi said. "You don't deserve a monster like me..."
"Yoongi... you're not a monster... you just need to control the anger and darkness..."
"That's why I need you, Hobi. You always took away my darkness with your radiant light..."
Jhope's eyes started to water a little. "I-I'm so sorry Yoongi but I can't..." He quickly left the room.
