Jungkook laid a now sleeping Taehyung onto his couch, grabbing a spare blanket and covering him up. "I'm sorry about this." Namjoon said as he and Jungkook walked to the kitchen grabbing glasses of water as they stood by the sink. Jungkook scratched his neck, "Yea, I'm used to it. It's a sad thing to say, but Taehyung has loved Jimin for years, watching him go from woman to woman kills Taehyung. He's normally not so.. Sensitive, but when it comes to Jimin? Complete sensitivity." Namjoon nodded, "Yea, How old are you by the way?" Jungkook chuckled nervously, "16." Namjoon spat his water back into his cup. "Fuck, Sorry." He coughed and banged on his chest. "Are you okay?!" Jungkook asked, resting his hand on Namjoon's shoulder. Namjoon's face was red, not from coughing, but the memory of him checking Jungkook out. He placed a hand on his chest as he finally calmed down. "I'm okay." He croaked out, "You're 16 and live alone, wtf?" Namjoon said, rubbing his chest. "I- I need to go." He said, placing his glass down, "Wait-" Jungkook said, grabbing Namjoon's wrist. Namjoon's eyes widened, "You don't want to stay the night? It's dark out there to be walking alone." Namjoon sighed through his nose and nodded, "I'll be okay, Thanks Googie." He said before rushing out the door.
Jungkook walked over to the couch, "Don't hit on my hyung," Taehyung said, half asleep. Jungkook stuttered but gave in, Taehyung knew too much about him. "I can't help it, did you see his face? And his height? Geezus." He said, sitting under Taehyung's head as he turned toward him and cuddled into the couch. Taehyung chuckled, "Wait two more years kiddo." Jungkook pinched Taehyung's cheek, "HEY!" Taehyung said, slowly falling asleep as Jungkook's hand slipped into his hair.

Taehyung woke up with a start as his alarm went off, making Jungkook jump up too. Taehyung stood up only to flinch and fall backwards in pain. He whined and Jungkook looked at him, "We have an hour until the dorm meeting. Shower, I'll give you some clothes to wear, get dressed then ice and elevate your ankle. I'll carry you to the meeting and your first class, my classes are online." Taehyung nodded and did as Jungkook said, not seeing a reason to protest.
Taehyung limped back to the couch after his shower and got dressed. There was a knock at the door and Jungkook walked over, "Who is it?!" He asked, his shirtless back catching Taehyung's eye as he watched him look through the peephole. "Jimin, Let me in Jungkook! I need to talk to Taehyung!" Jungkook looked at Taehyung and Taehyung nodded. But Jungkook crossed his arms and Taehyung sighed, nodding slower. Jungkook nodded once and fast before opening the door. Jimin rushed in, ignoring shirtless Jungkook and rushing over to the couch where Taehyung was. "ARE YOU OKAY?! I was so worried, you jerk!" He pushed Taehyung's head. Taehyung leaned back on the couch and groaned. "What's wrong with you?" Taehyung crossed his arms and huffed. "TAE!" Jimin shouted. Seeing no other way to get Taehyung's attention so he straddled him and grabbed his face. Jungkook's eyes widened and he immediately left the room.
"Tell me what's wrong Tae." Jimin let his face go and rested his head on Taehyung's chest. Taehyung sighed. "I'm tired, Chim." Jimin sat up and looked at him, but before he could ask, Taehyung answered, "I'm tired of watching the person I love continuously put his emotions, his mental health," Taehyung placed his hand on Jimin's cheek. "And heart on display for these girls to continuously hurt." Jimin's eyes widened as realization hit, and his mouth fell agape as tears ran down Taehyung's face. "T- Tae, I'm so sorry." Tears began flowing harder, "I didn't know. I wish I knew a long time ago Tae." Taehyung nodded slowly, waiting for the heartbreaking words he knew would come out if Jimin's mouth.
"But I just can't leave Jaeyoung like that, after we just got back together." Taehyung gulped hard as bile began to rise his throat. He furrowed his eyebrows, "Get out." Jimin looked taken aback, "W-What?" Taehyung gritted his teeth and gulped down more bile, "Get out." He repeated, not wanting to be so harsh but wanting to get his point across. Jimin nodded slowly and climbed off his lap and slowly made his way to the door. After he closed it, he heard Taehyung sobbing in pain before stumbling around the apartment then silence.
