playing house | a #yoonkook au

yg is a man who doesn’t know how to cope with being alone. he always had someone even if they always left him in the end. he was close to giving up on happiness entirely when an intimidating looking man of 25 moves into his building.

the raindrops fell from his living room window as yoongi stared out. he had his couch facing towards it to get a better angle of the grey clouds above.

he couldn’t help but feel like shit. the weather wasn’t helping much either.

his body was covered in a heavy cream colored blanket. a gift his grandmother bought him so many years ago.

the cold didn’t seem to touch him either. for that he was grateful.

‘alone…’

the apartment was empty. the sounds of life that usually bounced off the walls was gone.

he knew it would happen eventually but it still sting none the less.

jay was a kind man. 32. tanned skin. a hugger. more than average size.

he was everything that yoongi wished for in a man. someone who was there.

but he’s gone now.

‘listen yoon.. this just won’t work. im leaving korea in a month and i need a reset. maintaining myself and this relationship is something i can’t do anymore. im sorry’ his words haven’t left yoongi’s mind since.

he was hungry. the packets of instant ramen ran out and he grew too weak to buy more.

he had tangerines at least.

his eyes moved to the people below. so many stories of peoples lives passed by his building. stories that he would never know about.

that stung too.

yoongi was so distracted by the figures outside his window that he did not notice the sounds of boxes being carried into a home next door.

he didn’t notice what was to come in his life.

༺𓆩❦𓆪༻

to say jungkook was nervous was an understatement. his palms were sweating just at the sight of what’s in front of him.

a door. his neighbors door to be specific.

it had been a few days since he finished settling into his new home. it was the apartment of his dreams.

it decor was a beige minimalistic type of home with small nicknacks scattered around from plushes to photos of his family.

the plan of greeting all his neighbors on his floor was pushed back until this moment.

everyone was kind to him with an exception of a man who seemed like he needed a shot of soju to put him in place.

now he was standing in the last door. there was a small wooden fish that was hanging on the handle.

“cute” he thought. it eased his mind just a little to see it.

he wiped his sweaty palm onto his pants before knocking on the door.

a few seconds pass as he looked at the small peep hole.

no one answered the door.

he was close to knocking once when the handle twisted, revealing a smaller man. his hair was very dark with clothes much too big on him.

jungkooks heart sank as he saw the man in front of him. he looked small.

too small. and fragile.

“yes?” his voice was barely there making his heart strings tighten.

“hello. im jeon jungkook. i just moved in next door.” jungkook’s voice was steady even if he was internally very concerned.

the man in front of him only stared back. not a shine in his eyes as he nodded.

“im min yoongi. welcome to.. to-“ his voice cut off as he noticed yoongi begin to fall.

jungkook immediately caught him as his body grew limp.

there was a loud thump but it was mainly from jungkooks knees.

“woah- yoongi-ssi?! hey!” jungkook immediately lifted the man from the floor and placed his body on a couch.

yoongi was still breathing just by checking his pulse but he wasn’t waking up.

his home was clean apart from the piles of tangerine peels and empty water bottles laying around.

jungkook’s panic grew as he lifted his phone from his pocket and dialed 119.

“im here yoongi-ssi. it’s going to be okay” he whispered. never letting go of the man’s hand as the line went through.

༺𓆩❦𓆪༻

should i continue?

everything was almost quiet as he woke up. the only sound yoongi could hear was beeping from his left ear.

‘why am i hearing beeping… where am i?’ he thought to himself as he opened his eyes carefully.

he was shocked to see himself covered in white as well as the whole room being white.

what shocked him the most is the man sitting beside him with his hand on top of his.

yoongi couldn’t help but turn bright red at the sight. any form of physical touch made him flustered.

the man in front of him smiled bright once he noticed he had awoken.

“yoongi-ssi? are you feeling okay?” oh right. he passed out before he got the chance to welcome him.

he only nodded.

“that’s great! you scared me a bit when you passed out on me but you’re safe now. i never left your side” this man.. jungkook.. stayed?

his breathe hitched , looking at him in the eyes. he stayed…

“where are we?”

“our local hospital. i wanted to contact any friends or family but i was unsuccessful. i couldn’t leave you here so i stayed”

“oh.. i don’t have any friends or family”

the others smile seemed to drop as yoongi explained. he didn’t have anyone.

he tried not to think too hard about it.

“im sorry to hear that…”

“no need to apologize. it’s just how it is.. thank you for saving me” he squeezed his hand tight.

“no need to thank me. ill be here for you okay?”

yoongi stared back at jungkook. he wasn’t sure what to think of him. he looked calm.

kinda scary from the tattoos scattered all around his arm. yoongi should have been scared but he isn’t. not after this.

“okay”

༺𓆩❦𓆪༻

both yoongi and jungkook got to know each other better.

once yoongi was discharged, jungkook drove him home and prepared a meal for him.

the older couldn’t help but feel warm inside as both of them watched tv in his living room.

it had been a long time since he’s had this. he wished the moment wouldn’t be ruined in the future.

but he isn’t too hopeful about that.

the days went on and they visited each others houses anytime they could.

yoongi was a accountant who worked from home. it was a boring job but it kept him by.

he learned that jungkook was a graphic designer working at a video game company.

the younger couldn’t disclose too much but yoongi never minded. he loved hearing about jungkook’s life now.

the two grew closer as the months went by.

they had a weekly movie night in jungkook’s apartment where yoongi rents out a cheesy romcom while they eat takeout.

jungkook wasn’t fond of this due to being in a diet but yoongi won him over.

the older man’s pout was dangerous.

“maybe we can eat in hyung! i have alot of healthy ingredients in the fridge and-“ his voice cut off by yoongis arms around him.

“eat chicken with me… please?” who could say no to that? jungkook couldn’t.

he was weak.

so weak for min yoongi.

༺𓆩❦𓆪༻

it was a crisp winter morning when things changed between them.

jungkook was playing on his console when he heard a knock at his door.

his brow raised. he looked down at his watch, noticing it was much too late for anything to be delivered.

“coming!” he shouted, brushing bread crumbs off his shirt and making his way over to the door.

taking a peek into his peep hole, he noticed it was yoongi. his heart raced.

“hyung! im so glad to-“ he stopped.

yoongi was in front of him with tears falling from his face. it only took one good look at him to feel his heart breaking.

“hey… what’s the matter” he reached out to hold him and was surprised when yoongi immediately wrapped his arms around his neck.

“kook.. they fired me. i don’t have a j-job. i-i need to pay my rent and i don’t have any money- kook” he cried out.

his body began to shake as he let out broken sobs into jungkook’s shoulder.

the younger went into action by bringing his hyung inside. he closed the door gently.

“hey it’s gonna be okay-“

“kook it’s not! i need a job to pay for everything soon. i have bills to pay. i don’t wanna get kicked out of here. i don’t have anyone to rely on.. im so scared”

yoongi held onto the only person who comforted him. he held on so tightly.

it frightened him to think that he could lose everything. his home. his things. his only person. he didn’t want to lose it.

he can’t handle being alone and homeless again.

the oldest let out a gasp once he felt his body leave the ground.

“kook?-“

“shhh. let me take care of you”

“but i-“

a gentle kiss on his cheek silenced him completely. he melted as the younger laid him on his bed. his face was now pressed against jungkooks chest.

yoongi was confused but didn’t complain once he felt jungkooks arms around his body.

“you can rely on me yoongi.. im here for you okay?”

yoongi looked up at jungkook and smiled just a little.

“ill help you look for a job okay? if the landlord kicks you out then you can be here with me. ill get you a storage unit to put your things in and-“

“kook… why are you doing this..?”

jungkook looked at the older and brought their hands together.

“because i care about you. i know i never express it but i care so much. id do anything for you hyung. id travel the world for you so please.. lean on me. i can be your rock”

their faces were so close to one another.

yoongi looked down at the youngers lips before looking up.

“… you are everything to me kook”

he leaned in to nuzzle their noses together and giggled.

jungkook’s heart rate was all over the place as the two held onto each other.

he was brave enough to lay gentle kisses on yoongi’s face and the older didn’t mind.

he only closed his eyes and leaned into them.

things were shit for min yoongi but in this moment it didn’t matter. he had jeon jungkook.

jeon jungkook wouldn’t leave him. he wanted to stay.

he wants to stay..

“hey don’t cry anymore lovely. im right here” jungkook wiped the oldest tears and smiled.

“kookie… kiss me”

the younger froze. he watched as yoongi stared at him.

“…really?”

“yes… please..”

he didn’t have to be told twice as he leaned in and kissed his hyung to his hearts content.

and if they stayed in his jungkook’s room all night with bright red lips and marks on their necks then no one needed to know.

— that’s it for now! probably finishing this later or tomorrow 🤍 happy valentine’s day everyone!!

something began to bloom the moment their lips met that day.

gentle glances and skinship was becoming the norm.

after a few weeks, min yoongi was evicted from his house. it pained him to hear this news but he knew it would happen eventually.

the landlord was so strict when it came to money.

yoongi cried into jungkook’s arms again. this time however he didn’t immediately crumble. he was instead quite content.

he had jungkook holding him so close that it didn’t even matter that he had no home in that moment. his home was jungkook.

just like he promised, jungkook moved all of yoongi’s things into a storage unit just days after being evicted.

the older was against this idea completely but soon came around after a few gentle kisses in their now shared apartment.

jungkook insisted that yoongi didnt need to worry about rent but he couldn’t help it.

he wanted to work.

it only took a month before he found one on his own. a babysitting job to be specific.

it was for a women he met on his weekly grocery run.

he was throwing a few tangerines into a bag until he heard the sound of cries beside him.

he looked over to see a mother trying her hardest to calm her baby down all while crying herself.

“ma’am? are you okay?” he asked. she looked over at yoongi and shook her head.

“im sorry to disturb your shopping trip sweetheart. my baby is quite fuzzy this morning but ill calm her down-“

“i know ma’am but.. are you okay?”

the women stared at him for a moment before tearing up again.

“it’s been a while since someone has asked me that… my babysitter quit on me a week ago and now i haven’t been able to go to work. my boss is so close to firing me.. but this little one is more important”

the mother and child seem to settle once yoongi invited her for coffee.

the two talked for hours before he offered to babysit her daughter.

“i just lost a job as well so i have all the free time in the world” the mother seemed to look relieved once they shook hands.

“ive only known you for a few hours but you’re a very trustworthy man min yoongi. im forever grateful. thank you” she wiped a single tear from her face and smiled wide.

jungkook seemed more enthusiastic than himself once yoongi came home and told him the news

“how old is she?”

“6 months”

“what’s her name?”

“kim mina”

the youngest couldn’t sit still as he continued to ask questions. it warmed yoongi’s heart.

༺𓆩❦𓆪༻

nothing was official.

there was no label in their relationship and jungkook wanted to change that.

he’s known yoongi for a year and grew to love him every single day. however he’s noticed the older being distant.

their usual cuddle time is non existent and kisses became rare.

jungkook assumed it was his own fault. he had been away from work a lot more than usual.

the two were in the living room together with mina on yoongi’s chest.

the two were asleep.

it was an adorable sight to see but jungkook felt guilty. so fucking guilty.

he didn’t notice he was crying until he felt a hand on his shoulder.

“kook? what’s wrong?”

he was startled once he noticed mina was now in her crib and yoongi was awake.

“im sorry.. ive just been thinking-”

he didn’t finish his sentence once he noticed yoongi immediately sit up on his feet.

“no.. no no.. jungkook no”

“hyung?”

the older began to hyperventilate. his eyes blinking rapidly as his breathe quickened.

jungkook was leaving him. he knew that tone. the tone all the others had.

and he was petrified.

he knew this day would come but it hurt so much more. he was just getting comfortable again. he immediately ran to their shared bedroom and hid behind their bed.

avoiding it would give yoongi time to heal. he could move on—

“hyung don’t do this… i swear to you it’s nothing bad. please open the door for me” his voice was gentle but shaky.

“i c-can’t. i cant hear what you have to say. i don’t think i can take it anymore”

“what do you think i was going to say hyung? let’s talk about this”

“no! i know you are going to tell me that we aren’t going to work and ill have to leave. just… just give me time so i can heal. please—”

the door swung open. the younger rushed to where yoongi was and immediately hugged him tight. squeezing so hard it hurt.

“why on earth would i leave you hyung? if anything i thought you were thinking this wasn’t working out…”

what?…

“you’ve been so distant lately hyung. we don’t kiss anymore or hold each other. is there something wrong? i can fix it.. i swear i can” the youngest was shaking.

no…

yoongi lifted his hands and held jungkook’s face.

“you don’t need to fix anything. you are the most amazing guy ive ever known and i… i overreached”

he looked down at his knees and sighed.

“ive always been a loner. from the moment i was born. a nanny took care of me and i was completely on my own by the time i was 18..”

yoongi explained everything. from the trauma he had to endure to the many people who came and went from his life.

“everyone… didn’t matter what they were to me always left. i know im a pretty emotionless guy sometimes but.. after a while it stings”

yoongi hugged his legs as he watched jungkook. the younger just stared at him with his doe like eyes that make yoongi melt.

he wasn’t sure what he was thinking.

“what we have… it’s rare for me. ive never had someone stay this long. it’s silly but i feel like you’re an angel sometimes. an angel who gave up heaven so that we could be together.. it’s dumb”

jungkook brought yoongi close to him and smiled.

“it’s not dumb… i didn’t know all of this happened to you. im sorry for never asking”

yoongi held onto jungkook and shook his head.

“im glad you never did. i would have been quiet honestly… look jungkook… i need to know if this is serious”

the two locked eyes as silence filled the room.

this was all or nothing for yoongi. he would accept anything the younger said. whether good or bad.

jungkook moved the hair on yoongi’s face to his ear and spoke.

“im seriously in love with you min yoongi. nothing would ever stop me from wanting to be near you. i promised you stability from the moment we met and that’s never going to change”

yoongi’s heart began to beat much faster than before. was this real?

“kookie…”

“i want to call you mine. i want to be your boyfriend, your husband, your best friend, and everything in between”

this was real. this was very real and yoongi couldn’t contain himself.

he began to laugh as he brought jungkook close and kissed him.

“yes kookie. yes to all those labels. i can’t imagine my life without you”

they are inseparable until mina begins to fuzz in the other room.

yoongi pulled back from jungkook’s lips and giggled.

“i need to get her kook”

“ill get her a new diaper. she must have filled the one she has on by now”

the two handled the baby quietly once they got to her crib. she was happy once jungkook held her close.

he was rocking her back and forth when he noticed yoongi laugh.

“what’s funny?”

“it feels like we are playing house. we are both appas and she is our daughter. we are in love and in our own world”

jungkook grinned.

he liked the idea so much. yoongi told him how he was an angel and jungkook couldn’t help but feel the same. yoongi was an angel. a perfect and beautiful angel.

“you’re my angel baby”
