"That was unfair." Hoseok complained with a loud laugh. Jungkook, Taehyung and him were sitting on the floor of his bedroom; playing UNO. They weren't that sober anymore either, which made the game even funnier. They had met in the morning, by now it was already eight in the evening and the mood among them was getting more and more boisterous.

"Hey baby can I talk to you for a minute?" Taehyung turned to his boyfriend, who nodded and giggling, the two disappeared into the kitchen, leaving behind a really confused Jungkook. The youngest in the group sipped his beer and wondered what Taehyung suddenly had to discuss with his best friend. He decided not to worry too much about it and dealt another round of Uno cards again. Hoseok's loud laughter could be heard from the kitchen; Jungkook smiled, pleased that his best friend was so happy. And he? Yes, he himself was quite happy too, somehow he was feeling better day by day, even if he unfortunately couldn't go to the fights that often at the moment and he also felt pretty bad since he still hadn't managed to visit his mother in the hospital, despite all that his life really had taken a turn for the better in the past few weeks.

"Here we are again." Hoseok announced as he stepped back into his room together with Taehyung. They settled down on the floor next to Jungkook and each took another beer as well.

"I have an idea." Taehyung announced. " How about the loser has to show the rest of us an embarrassing picture or tell an equally embarrassing story, that will make the game even funnier." The other two agreed and then they started to play. The first loser was Hoseok and he told the others about how he had once accidentally taken the garbage bag to school instead of his school bag, which of course had been quite embarrassing for him. Next up was Jungkook, who showed them a video of him drunkenly trying to propose to a tree, which of course caused everyone in the room to laugh and Hoseok even rolled on the floor. The next round was lost again by Hoseok, who picked out a childhood picture of himself running naked from his mother. Now it was Taehyung's turn and he grinned broadly.

"Did you know that Jimin and I used to dance together a lot? We even had something like a two-man dance crew." The panther laughed. "Come to think of it, that's pretty embarrassing, we thought we could become idols one day and get signed to one of the big companies." Jungkook raised an eyebrow.

"The kitty king and dancing? I don't believe you." Taehyung dug his phone out of his pocket and searched for a specific video.

"Here, believe me now?" He held the phone out to Jungkook. In the video, Jimin could be seen dancing and Jungkook's eyes widened. This boy he saw there in the video had talent, incredible talent. He moved gracefully and insanely professionally. He was fascinated by this video and wondered if the Kitty Gang leader could still dance like this.

"Awesome...this is crazy." Murmured the tiger, who was still staring fascinated at the video.

"I thought you didn't like Jimin."

"Who says you have to like someone to realize they have talent?" Jungkook shot back at his best friend.

"Woah not so aggressive, it was just an observation." Hoseok said with a slight laugh in his voice. "Come on let's keep playing." The other two agreed with him, but Jungkook wouldn't get the video out of his mind for the rest of the evening.

As he finally lay in bed at his home, he thought about it for a long time. The boy in the video had looked incredibly happy, as if he was enjoying life to the fullest, and now only the shell of it was left. At that very moment, Jungkook vowed to himself that he would try to give Jimin back that lightness and that honest smile, whatever it took.
