Taehyung and Jungkook - Nothing like us

20th

"And you're eating regularly?"
"Mhm."

"I haven't thrown up in a while, that's good."

"I can see when you're lying to me."

Jimin sighed.
"I don't know how to change it", he shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm thinking about a way to help you."
"Do I even want to know?"

"Yes definitely. You've been going through this for so long now and you've been all alone on the way."

"What are you saying?", Jimin asked carefully.

"I'm saying that you're my friend and if that's what it takes for you to understand what you're doing to yourself.. I'm willing to do it with you."
"What? I don't want that."
"Well lucky for you, it's not your decision to make."

Jungkook wanted to eat the same way Jimin did. Jimin thought he was crazy. Why would Jungkook do this?

"Okay fine. At breakfast I-"
"Hyung, I don't want you to tell me. I will watch you precisely and eat just exactly what you eat."
"You can't do that."
"I can and I will."
"I hate you."
"I know."

Jimin wouldn't say that he didn't appreciate what Jungkook was planning to do. But he was trusfrated. He couldn't even think of eating without feeling dizzy and nauseous.
And he hated himself for that.
"Okay."

The next following days went as bad as Jungkook expected. He wanted to help Jimin, of course he did, but this was hard. His stomach was growling every twenty seconds but Jimin just wouldn't eat.

And now, they were working really long hours too. The music video shoot was almost finished and Jungkook was so exhausted. He couldn't remember the last time he felt so tired.

And his rips started defining themselves. Which worried him even more.
No, he didn't worry about himself.

"Jungkook? Can we talk?", Jimin asked.
They walked a few meters away from the others.
"What's going on?", Jungkook asked as innocent and powerful as he could.
"Please don't do this. I hate to see you go through this."
"I hate to see you go through this too", Jungkook countered.
"Come on. Just eat something. I can hear your stomach growling from 500 meters away."
"I am not going to eat something if you're not eating something."
Jimin walked over and grabbed a box with steam coming from it. Jungkook watched him mixing through the noodles with the chopsticks  before he took a giant bite.
"There I ate. Are you happy now?", he said with a full mouth.
Jungkook didn't wait another second as he took the box directly from Jimin's hands and took a bite as generous as his hyung did.
He sighed out of relief. "Ohh food, finally!"
Jimin smiled while chewing. He forgot the urge to not eat for this split second. It made his heart feel so loved that Jungkook stood by his side and did this with him. Maybe he would be alright.

He knew that Jungkook loved food probably more than anything in his life. And the fact that he gave that up...

He wanted him to be okay too.
So he took five more bites and found Jungkook following his move.

The warm food sliding down his throat to his stomach, it felt so good. Maybe he could be alright after all.

Maybe it was gonna be okay.

But then he started feeling nauseous again. The need to throw up got more intense by every second that went by.

"Heyy what are you guys up to?", Taehyung asked as he walked over to them.
"Wow, Jungkook, you look tired. Did you sleep okay?"
Taehyung stroked Jungkook's arm.
