It's quiet and dark in the bedroom Seokjin shares with yoongi, still air hanging damp and sour. Namjoon pushes through the door inch by inch, holding his breath. The bookcase that was in the corner a little while ago is leaning against a different wall, their beds (which used to be on opposite ends of the room) are pushed together. There's a big lump of bedclothes and two shocks of blond and brown hair poking out of them.
Namjoon pulls off his sweater and toes off his house slippers before approaching. He's careful to step around Yoongiâs laptop and Seokjin's textbooks, slouched on top of each other in a forgotten pile.
âI know I shouldâve knocked,â Namjoon says, hushed.
The pile of blankets stirs and Seokjinâs bed creased face peeks up at him. â âs fine, Joon. Time is it?â
It's already midday, but sometimes the passage of time affects Seokjin in ways Namjoon doesn't completely understand. Instead, âStill kinda early. Do you have room for me?â
Yoongi emerges from the covers slowly as he comes to, pulling a corner of the covers back with a rumble. On their own the two beds were small, but pushed together there was room for three, maybe four people. Namjoon settles down on his side, head pillowed against his arm and face inches from Yoongiâs neck. It's oppressively hot under the duvet. A bare foot nudges against Namjoonâs shin.
âAre the kids home?â Seokjin asks, shifting again so he's tucked against Yoongi and reaching over to touch Namjoon.
âNah, they're out. Probably wonât get home for a while.â
âThat's nice,â Seokjin says with a soft sigh.
Seokjin gets headaches. Pounding, twisting migraines that make themselves at home behind his painfully light-sensitive eyes and twist his stomach into knots. Lack of water, lack of sleep, anxiety, standard idol things make him more prone to them, especially as promotions approach (they never ended).
âHyung, are you hungry?â
Seokjin tucks more into Yoongiâs neck.
âHe isnât,â Yoongi says.
Namjoon gingerly drops his forehead against the back of Yoongiâs neck. The prickly hairs tickle Namjoonâs nose and his warm breath puffs back in his face, but he doesnât move. âWhat about you, hyung?â
âAh,â Yoongi reaches back and drops his hand on Namjoonâs hip, close to Seokjinâs hand. âIâm good, Joon-ah.â
Namjoon dozes off. At some point the blankets get kicked off to the side and limbs tangle up. Namjoon doesnât have his phone on him to check the hour, and the blackout curtains block the sunâs descent. A couple of times, Yoongi has Seokjin sit up slowly and share a bottle of water with him.
It almost surprises Namjoon when they hear noise come from outside. A door swinging shut, laughter, the TV turning on.
âKids are home already?â Seokjin asks. He groans and rolls away from Yoongi, rubbing his eyes. âWhat time is it?â
Yoongi, hair falling into his half-lidded eyes, reaches over Seokjin to reach his phone on the nightstand. He tilts the screen away from Seokjinâs sensitive eyes when he unlocks it.
âAlready?â Seokjin sits up a little too quickly and screws his eyes shut against the pain that follows.
Itâs their day off, Namjoon wants to tell Seokjin. Itâs fine to stay in bed, to not worry about the kids or about how late it is, or what he has or hasnât done with the time he spent in bed. Especially when a migraine bores into his temples, especially after weeks of not having time for just himself. Itâs fine, itâs fine.
âThereâs leftovers in the fridge. They can eat that.â Yoongi glances over at Namjoon.
Thatâs his cue to leave. Namjoon hesitates for a moment before nodding, rolling out of bed and biting back a groan as his muscles stir back to life after hours of disuse. He grabs his sweater and puts on his slippers, steps around the textbooks and laptop.
He hovers by the door. âYoongi hyung?â
âDonât take too long, yeah?â A little smile plays on his mouth, a silent âthank youâ.
Seokjin huffs and lightly shoves Yoongi. âThis brat. Donât forget to eat, too.â
âSure, hyung. No problem.â He grins as he closes the door behind him gently. Some leftovers for Yoongi and an apple and more water for Seokjin should hold them over until tomorrow.
