The concept of need is, in some ways, one that Jungkook suspects keeps him apart from the others. He can't profess to be lacking in anything — his mother is doting, his friends good company, and even the teachers who get on his case seem to be doing so in Jungkook's interest. Now, with a partner who makes him feel loved, Jungkook feels that there isn't much he wants for. Any doubts he has, any moments of weakness, those are his own to resolve. Most of the time, he thinks he manages well.

With Jimin, it feels different.

With Yoongi, Jungkook finds himself terrified of the day when he might not be enough.

"I hope you're right," he says quietly, gaze dropping for a moment, focused on the soft brush of Yoongi's hand against his neck. Jungkook thinks about buying train tickets, about the way Jimin asked if they could pick a one-way trip. Maybe, Jungkook thinks, there's something about this place that Jimin needs to escape as well.

His thumb traces small circles against Yoongi's side, lazily widening in radius.

"You don't know what you need?" Jungkook asks after a pause.
