"Just a smidgeon more, kookie! Please." As he placed a spoonful of food in the younger's mouth, Jimin said. Jeongguk simply shook his head and turned his head away. "I'll give you your favourite gummies if you eat a few more bites. How do you like that?" Jimin murmured quietly, almost pleadingly.

When he heard gummies, Jeongguk's eyes lit up. "Minie hyung gwive kookie gwummies?". With hopeful eyes, Jeongguk inquired. "Yes! Minie Hyung will be giving out a lot of gummies" With a smile, Jimin said. The younger instantly opened his mouth, indicating that he wanted to be fed. Jimin fed him his food right away before wiping his lips with a tissue.

Jimin lifts the younger up to help him burp. He kept patting his back slightly as he walked back and forth. 

Yoongi who was sitting across, on the couch shook his head in total disbelief. He couldn't believe the way Jimin was acting.  He folded his arms on his chest and crossed his legs on each other as he looked at the duo. 

Once Jimin was done helping him burp, he brought him his favourite gummies as he promised. He sat the younger down on the floor and let him continue his drawing. Jimin came and sat beside yoongi and switched the TV on to watch a show. 

"For how long are you going to continue this, Jimin?" Yoongi asked, trying to hide his annoyance. He looked at the younger beside him. 

"Continue what, yoongi?" Jimin asked. his eyes are still on the television. "You know what I am talking about, Jimin. Don't act dumb!" Yoongi said with a tone laced with annoyance. 

Jimin snorted "We've talked about this, yoongi?" He deadpanned. "No, we didn't. In fact, we never started." Yoongi raised his hands up in the air. "It's been more than a week since you've brought Jeongguk here. More like hiding here!" Yoongi blurted out. 

"You know why I am doing this, Yoongi!" Jimin said as he crossed his arms on his chest. "Jimin I've been observing you for more than a week now. This is not the Jimin I know. The Jimin I know never acted like this. I am not happy with your behaviour at all" Yoongi slurred in annoyance and disbelief. 

"What's your exact point, yoongi? Don't you want Jeongguk to live here with you?" Jimin asked with a voice deep and low. "That's not what I meant, Jimin! You are breaking a fucking couple apart! Do you even realise that?" Yoongi's voice was now laced with anger. His voice was deep as he fisted his hands. 

" I am not!" Jimin turned his head away. " Taehyung did that himself. He chose to be selfish for his desires!" Jimin gritted his teeth when he remembered how Jeongguk cried when he said he saw Taehyung kissing someone else. "Cheaters are supposed to be kept at arm's length!" 

" Taehyung is not a cheater! Think before you speak, Jimin. You should know this better! " Yoongi suddenly stood up from the couch. " Don't blame anything and everything on Taehyung. You didn't witness what happened at the park that day!" Yoongi snarled making both Jeongguk and Jimin flinch. 

"Have you ever tried to talk to taehyung after the incident? Have you ever thought of what Taehyung might be going through right now? Have you ever given him a chance to listen to his side of the story or at least let him explain? How lonely he must be feeling right now?" Yoongi growled. Jimin just ducked his head down. The elder sounded really scary. 

"Jeongguk might have misinterpreted the situation that day!" Yoongi roared pointing at Jeongguk who flinched every single time the elder yelled. Tears started pooling in his eyes. His lips wobbled in fear. 

 "Is this how much you value your friendship. Is this how much you trust in Taehyung? The poor guy is not even trying to fight you and you think he would cheat on someone just because he had desires? How cheap of you to think like that about your own best friend." Yoongi said disgusted by Jimin's behaviour.
