He was shocked, sure it was the first time Jungkook had told someone to watch where they were going but it was the first since he'd come back from his suspension.

He didn't comment on Jungkook's words towards the boy, didn't say anything until Jungkook walked past the cafeteria.

"Jungkook, where are you going?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook turned around and looked at him before walking into the cafeteria.

Taehyung just shook his head something was definitely going ok with Jungkook and he wasn't sure if it was just because of Saturday.

After the two got their food they sat down and waited for Jimin.

Jungkook just stared at his food, he didn't have an appetite he felt so upset.

How could she only have 7 days left? If she really died Jungkook was never gonna see her smile again never gonna hear her laugh again never gonna hear her say dinner is ready.

Or even hear her say clean your room, never gonna hear her voice never gonna see her walking around he was never gonna see her doing anything.

He could feel his eyes watering at the thoughts of never interacting with his mother again, never being able to do something as simple as sit next to her.

"Fuck he cursed eyebrows furrowed as he closed his eyes and swallowed his tears the last place he'd cry was here, in school, in front of anyone.

If it wasn't for the sound of Jimin's chair Jungkook shouldn't have registered him joining them "Jungkook I'm so sorry about Saturday" Saturday huh? No day would be worse than Saturday.

"I thought about it.. and you were right, I wasn't fair to you and I want to change that hopefully we could sit down and talk about it later, all of us" it took Jungkook a moment to process all of Jimin's words.

Then he sighed and looked away from his food and at Jimin "not today" was his voice always that hoarse? That lifeless.

"What about tomorrow?" Jimin asked "not then either" he wanted to be with his mother for the last little bit of her life, he wanted to be with Taehyung and Jimin but not to talk about their mess.

"What about the d-" "I'll let you know when.." and then it was silent until seconds passed and then minutes and then Taehyung spoke.

"I...I heard Nestle is coming out with a new chocolate bar" he said "I don't really eat nestle chocolate mainly galaxy and Cadbury" Jimin muttered.

"Do you eat nestle Jungkook?" Taehyung asked "I don't know" he barely even knew what brand of food he ate let alone what they were talking about.

His mum always did the shopping and his parents usually cooked dinner together, but now Jungkook's dad would have to do it alone and someone else would have to go shopping.

Jungkook could only imagine how hard it would be for his dad to cook alone without her.

Once again he forced himself to will away the want to cry.

"You don't know if you eat nestle chocolate?" Taehyung asked "don't really eat chocolate" God why did his voice sound so rough "I see..." Taehyung nodded then it was silent again.

And it was obvious, it was so fucking obvious that something was wrong with Jungkook so why weren't they asking?

Why wasn't Jimin asking?

If it was Taehyung... Jimin would have been all over him? Why wasn't he asking Jungkook what on earth was going?

Why was he just eating like everything was sunshine and rainbows why was Taehyung the only one that seemed to be glancing at Jungkook a little more than usual.

Why was Taehyung's gaze filled with worry while Jimin just looked at him?

"Well, when it comes out how about we go and try it together? According to the advertisement, it tastes better when you share it with your loved ones" Taehyung barely said it without his cheeks turning bright red.

But he'd managed to crack a small smile from Jungkook and that was all that mattered.

Jimin had also smiled "when's it coming out?" He asked "somewhere within the next 2 weeks" Taehyung responded hand moved from his plate to Jungkook's thigh.

Where it rested a moment before giving his thigh a light squeeze and this time it felt more like a silent way of comforting Jungkook than it did feel like Taehyung was just touching him.

Jimin continued eating and Taehyung did too, Jungkook glanced at his plate and picked up his fork he hadn't had breakfast he should probably eat.

But instead of picking the pasta on his plate up with his fork he just pushed it around and stared at it, he really didn't feel hungry just so fucking upset.

After a minute he realised he wasn't going to put any of it into his mouth so he placed his fork down and sat back he placed a hand on top of Taehyung's looking at the difference between the two.

Although it wasn't easy to tell who's was bigger because of the way Taehyung's was holding onto his thigh Jungkook was sure the difference wasn't that big.

His mum's hands were smaller than his dad's by quite a bit, it was so hard to stop thinking about her, she meant so much to him, still does.

Between the three it was still silent but Jungkook barely noticed it with how much he was thinking.

And then finally, fucking finally "Jungkook what's wrong".
