Perhaps the words should scare Jungkook, if he thinks about them too much. If he lets himself notice the fact that Yoongi's words suggest that so much of his happiness centers around making sure that Jungkook is happy. There's a part of Jungkook's heart that aches at the thought that Yoongi's happiness was so hard to obtain on his own, that none of the dark gazes and distant looks were imagined — that there's a part of Yoongi that has been suffering for years, and perhaps continues to suffer still. What Jungkook wants, potentially even more than what they have together, is for that happiness to become inherent in Yoongi's being once more.

Yet Jungkook also knows that so much of what Yoongi shares can be applied to himself. That there are days when Jungkook can't seem to find the bright side to anything until he sees the smile on Yoongi's face, the happiness with which Yoongi greets him, and suddenly everything else is thrown to the background.

Perhaps neither of them are as healed as they should aim to be in time, but for now, having each other is more than enough.

"You're the person who makes me the happiest, Min-ah. Even before us, just sitting by your side, playing piano together... it made me so happy. Being with you makes me feel complete," Jungkook says softly, nudging his nose gently against the baby fine hair by Yoongi's temple.
