Not What We Expected.

Talk To Me.

Taehyung leaned forward and whispered to Jungkook. "Can I talk to you alone?"

"Hyungs we'll be right back." Jungkook looked at everyone, and they all looked back at him.

"Oh is it cuddle time already?" Hobi joked as everyone let out a small laugh.

Namjoon eyed them as they left for the room Taehyung was staying in. The others carried on with random conversation and snacks as the two entered the room and closed the door behind them.

"Jungkook..." Taehyung started.

"Hm?"

"Are you okay?" Taehyung slowly took Jungkook's arm and turned it to reveal some of the scratches that had just been left.

Jungkook stared at them and without looking up he replied, "Yeah, those were an accident."

"You think so? He seemed mad about leaving early, it didn't look very accidental. He's been acting weird ever since we got here but it seems to only be targeted at you. He's been kind of mean to you but I haven't seen him be mean to anyone else now that I think about it."

Jungkook was silent, he knew Namjoon was acting weird but hadn't realized before that it was in fact only targeted at him. Did he do something wrong? Namjoon said he wasn't mad at him so why was he acting so strange?

"Maybe he's just been in a bad mood and took it out on me because I'm the youngest?"

"He's never taken any of his anger out on any of us, especially you. You're the last person I'd expect him to be mean to, he's always very protective of you."

"I don't know Taehyungie. We leave in two days, maybe he'll feel better after we get out of this dump."

"Do you think he's the one that hurt you in your sleep?"

"What? No. He was never downstairs , I already told you what happened." Jungkook was annoyed that it was still being brought up.

"Okay. Aside from the scratches, he hasn't done anything else to you has he? He hasn't been secretly hurting you or anything? You can tell me." Taehyung was becoming suspicious after seeing the way his hyung was acting lately.

"Taehyung ! That's ridiculous you know he wouldn't do stuff like that. I told you this was just an accident." Jungkook was trying to hide the fact that he actually wasn't entirely sure if it was an accident. If Namjoon was mad at him about something it would have been a subtle way to let out that frustration, he hoped he was just overthinking.

Someone knocked on the door and Taehyung watched Jungkook flinch.

Jimin poked his head in the door, "Are you guys almost done? We're going to play UNO in a few minutes so hurry up so I can beat you guys!" Jimin said excitedly as he walked back down the hall.

Taehyung was staring at Jungkook and there was a moment of silence before speaking up again, "You're becoming afraid of him. "

"Why would I be afraid of Jimin? He's short." Jungkook tried to ease the growing awkwardness with the joke.

"I meant Namjoon."

"I'm not becoming afraid of him, he hasn't done anything." Jungkook was too shy to admit that he had been feeling more nervous around his leader but he didn't want to make it a problem.

"If you say so, but you know you can come to any of us with anything bothering you. Don't hide things from us, we'll always protect you."

Jungkook felt really grateful to hear that, some of the tension he was holding in his heart let up knowing he had an entire team that cared about him. He stepped toward his hyung and hugged him, practically clinging to him, part of him didn't want to let go.
