chapter 56

"...Jimin's temper is out of control,"

Taehyung leaned against the opposite side of the elevator and faced the other boy. Jimin craned his neck to the side, and he rubbed the left side of his neck and sighed. He yawned, his head still lowered to the floor. Pushing his hair back, he blinked tiredly at Taehyung. "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing," Taehyung shook his head. Jimin was wearing slippers. A shirt and shorts to train but no shoes. He complained that the sneakers they gave him hurt his heels.

Jimin yawned again. He reached up with both hands and rubbed his face. He sighed heavily, tired from the lack of sleep. He caught Taehyung looking at him again. "Fuck off," Jimin muttered. "Quit staring,"

"I'm not staring," Taehyung muttered and pushed himself off to lean against the other wall and faced the door instead of facing Jimin.

The elevator finally beeped to signal their arrival to the floor and the elevator doors opened to the basement level. Jimin didn't wait for Taehyung to lead the way. He already knew where they were going. Taehyung trailed behind him.

"Remember the plan," Taehyung reminded him and earned a sarcastic scoff. "Jiminie,"

Jimin suddenly turned and slammed the other boy against the wall. "You," Jimin spat. "Don't call me that,"

Jimin continued to walk and left Taehyung on the spot. Taehyung shook his head and wiped down the creases on his shirt. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the fucking bed," Taehyung called out.

Taehyung didn't follow him, and he followed the hall where the other boy slept.

"Are you doing this to get me in trouble?" Yoongi asked before Taehyung and Jimin left that morning.

Taehyung shook his head. "No, I'm doing this so that you can get Jungkook out of here,"

Yoongi, mouth gaped open, quickly snapped out of it and nodded. "So you agree, you think Felix is mad?"

"Felix was always mad," Taehyung muttered. "He's just becoming very impatient,"

It's been a few hours since Jimin and Taehyung left. Yoongi had swept the floor for the third time that morning, and it hadn't turned 10 o'clock yet. He was going to drive himself insane just thinking about what Felix wanted from him. Maybe it was time for his trial.

Tonight, Taehyung said to him before he left.

But Yoongi hated waiting. If he checked on Namjoon now, he'd visit him tonight too.

But Taehyung might be on to something about waiting tonight instead of Yoongi joining them.

But he was going to drive himself mad trying to weigh out every option.

Yoongi grabbed a cleaning spray from the cabinet under the sink and a clean cloth. He began wiping down the counter and the stovetop when he realized what he was doing. He didn't stop because he already started, but it reminded him of something Jin had told him once. Jin had been in the kitchen all morning one day when Yoongi found him after Namjoon left earlier that morning. Yoongi asked Jin if he had a fight with Namjoon, which Jin replied no but that cleaning helps him think. When Yoongi asked him what he was thinking about, Jin answered, "you, Jimin and me and Namjoon," and he continued, "about what we're going to eat tonight."

Yoongi knew that something else was bothering Jin, but Yoongi didn't push it. Yoongi knew Jin wouldn't say anything until he wanted to.

After he finished cleaning every spot in the kitchen, Yoongi put away the spray and cloth. He looked up at the clock and wondered if he should shower just to pass the time. A knock snapped him out of his thoughts.
