jungkook doesn't really know yoongi well, or too much at all, really. but he knows him well enough to know that the comment isn't going to phase him, that telling him to fuck off isn't going to make it happen, if anything it'll only make yoongi want to bite back at him that much more. but jungkook doesn't give a shit. if anything, maybe he likes it. because he does like that kind of shit, because sometimes it feels like he lives for it, the adrenaline, looking for a hit of it anywhere he can get it - whether it's the kind of high that only comes from dancing, or the feeling of picking a fight, getting into some shit, the kind of mess that he doesn't really take too seriously. maybe doesn't take seriously enough, but it doesn't matter. jungkook isn't afraid, not scared of anything. now even yoongi. especially not yoongi.

so that's why the response doesn't phase him, either. he doesn't even bother to open his eyes this time, at least not at first. the initial response that yoongi gives makes him scoff slightly, a hint of something between a grin and a smirk tugging at his mouth. he finally decides to open them again just in time to catch the tail end of yoongi looking at him a little too long. jungkook doesn't react in any way but to give him the full smirk this time, a simple "yeah? you're not the boss of me."
