An icy feeling leftover from the night before of something wrong, yet unremembered, was Jimin's first sensation when he woke. The pain in his bottom reminded him of what happened, settling with anguish into his conscious mind... followed by pain in his head, and gut... Then he realized in another wave what also felt so wrong, a physical reminder of the emotional crevice that had seemed to divide them: Jungkook wasn't in bed with him. Jimin ran his hand over the bed where Jungkook had lay beside him last night. It was cold.

He scrambled for his clothes.. Jesus, he was so much more sore than he realized last night. With pangs of confusion and, oddly, guilt, Jimin recalled the blood, how much Jungkook had cried when he saw Jimin afterward... his heart squirmed. He just wanted everything to be okay.

He dashed tenderly into the common room... Tae was eating breakfast with Soo-ah, the rest of the house was quiet.

"Where is Jungkook?" Jimin asked.

"Haven't seen him," Tae answered, too happily focused on Soo-ah and her blushing round face to notice Jimin's distress.

Jimin started to feel panicked. He found his phone and checked the group chat. Texts from Namjoon and Hobi last night saying they weren't coming back.. But no text from JK. 

JM: Where are you? He texted.

JM: Please come back Jungkook, please.

He went back to his now empty room, still smelling like Taehyung/Soo-ah sex, but better than being in JK's room right now.

Jimin tried to think. He knew JK felt angry and guilty. Somehow, Jimin also felt angry and guilty at himself. He tried to recall all the events from last night. We drank too much, he realized, his pounding head a definite reminder. We got high... I was making Jungkook jealous... He thought with a twist. He knew how insanely jealous and angry Jungkook could get, and he played that for his own pleasure, because it made him hot to see Jungkook lose control.

Well, I wanted Jungkook to lose it over me and that's exactly what happened, he groaned.

Jungkook:

Jungkook was walking. Just walking down random streets in Seoul, covered by a hat and mask and a large coat. He didn't know where he was going or what he was doing. He just couldn't be with Jimin, so sweet that he wouldn't even let JK feel bad, would have done anything to cheer him and prove he was not hurt. Jungkook swallowed back hot tears. He was hurt. He is hurt. I hurt him. I did this.

His phone buzzed and as he got it out, it buzzed again.

JM: Where are you?

JM: Please come back Jungkook, please.

He stared at the messages and started crying again, kept walking nowhere, away from the boy he loved and had hurt.

Namjoon:

Namjoon walked into the dorm, it was still early, but he prepared himself for the unexpected. When he came in, Tae was eating breakfast at the counter with Soo-ah, no one else seemed to be around.

"Where is everyone?" He asked Tae. "I saw Hobi's message, but where is everyone else."

"I don't know." said Tae, "Jimin is in our room."
