for a split second, jungkook wonders if maybe it's too much. maybe it's a little bit odd, to suddenly produce something like that, to actually be handing it over to yoongi without actually asking whether or not he would want it first. but those worries barely last, don't even have any time at all to stick before something else is pushing them right back out of the way because, no. jungkook knows yoongi better than that. this is the same yoongi that he's been talking about for months. it's the same yoongi that he's had so many conversations with, who's talked to him about his art so many times. the same yoongi who takes a few moments to look at the piece all over again before stuttering slightly over an answer, smiling in a way that makes jungkook's heart somersault more violently, that makes his stomach flutter with a particularly active round of butterflies, that instantly makes him wish it was something that he could see more of.

he doesn't even realize that his own face is heating up all over again, smile stretching over his expression, both shy and pleased, excited all at once. "oh, i'm - um, thank you! i'm just .. glad that you still like it. really. and that.. i can actually give it to you. and - oh! one more thing!" he reaches for the bag yet one more time, a little bit more rustling, this time leading him to produce the small, miniature canvas decorated with a galaxy that he had painted, once again while thinking of yoongi, and sent him a picture of for the new year. "um, i thought maybe, if you wanted this one, too - you could have it. i mean, you don't have to take them! but, you know." he's caught up in a ramble again, another shy shrug following his words, almost as if he's gone from pleased at the praise and gratefulness from yoongi to unsure of himself all over again in less than a matter of minutes.
