Yoongi lifts Jungkook's hand, pressing a quick kiss to his knuckles, not caring for a moment who sees. It's so much easier just to let go in Busan, far from anyone who could get them in trouble. He always wants to do these things back home, and even if he's still cautious, it's nice to know he can give in once in a while without worrying too much.

"Even if we stayed friends," he says, "even if that's all that ever happened... I'd still just be happy to know you." It was torture to be so close to Jungkook and think he was so far away, but even that was better than not knowing him at all. It was the idea of losing that friendship that kept him quiet for so long. Even now, if anything happened between them, if this all fell apart somehow, he knows he'd still want to be friends, no matter how hard it would be. In all the ways they're the same and all the ways they're so different, Jungkook complements and completes him.
