"You couldn't get rid of me even if you tried," Jungkook insists with a wrinkle of his nose. "I'm younger than you, and I've got longer legs, so I'll catch up to you no matter where you go." It's a teasing thought more than anything else. Jungkook knows that there isn't a single part of Yoongi that has any true desire to run — not when life is so much brighter when the two of them are together. Jungkook knows that it isn't even a matter of Yoongi trying to live up to expectations — it's so easy now to see all the times before they kissed when both of them were constantly looking for excuses to be together, a simple shopping trip turned into an entire day spent side by side.

It'd take a lot to shake their love, Jungkook thinks, and how instinctive it is.

He narrows his eyes, carrying on with an exaggerated flair. "I'll come running to university campus after school each day. Give any hot guys or girls the stink eye if they get too close to you. And if they invite you out to bars, I'll — I dunno, get a fake ID or something. I could totally pass for twenty, right?" He sucks in his cheeks just a little, trying to give him a more defined edge.
