Can you stay-- Taekook-kookv

Chapter 16

Over in Jimin's dorm, Taehyung was cuddling into a thick duvet comforter on the couch, sleeping away his worry. He's been out since last night and it's a bit later than noon, but he needed it to conserve his energy.

Jimin had stayed with him all day and all night, but now that his friend was at peace in dreamland, He thought he could get some comfort food. Taehyung only had some snacks to eat yesterday in place of any real food, also Jimin was sort of tired of the 3-minute ramen. What better place to get the best kind of food than Hyung's restaurant.

"Seokjin-ssi you are needed at the host desk..." A low voice announces into the VIP room the four friends were staying in.

"Well, duty calls. I'll be back soon." Jin excused himself and left the three guests alone to take care of business.

"Hey, what's up? I was with Namjoon in the back..." Jin asks, finding Jimin was the one calling him out.

"Taehyung isn't doing well. SungMin texted him yesterday asking about his instagram post, so I guess he isn't taking the fact that Tae is moving on, well..."

"What the hell?! Is Tae okay? Why didn't you tell me"

"Well he's been crying all night and all morning,I didn't, not, tell you on purpose. He's been a lot to handle... I mean, the minute he posts about Jungkook, and SungMin freaks out... it's just a trigger."

"I get that..." Jin tries to stay understanding of everything, but now he can't help but worry about Taehyung too. "Do you need anything though, I got Jungkook, your boyfriend and Namjoon back there?" The restaurateur quipped, but knows that all of the relationship talk isn't relevant right now.

"Jungkook? Boyfriend... what?" Jimin asks, looking back to the vip room he is accustomed with.

"Yeah Namjoon is best friend's, with them so I kinda am friends with them too."

"You're telling me you knew Jungkook this whole time and didn't tell me, even though I was totally in love with his music. I-i can't believe you. And Yoongi—" Jimin scoffs, but tries to get back on track. "Okay this is obviously not the time but we will have this conversation...."

Jimin takes another second to get his thoughts straight before carrying on talking.

"I just came by to get some food, because Tae hasn't eaten yet today. He's actually not even awake yet, but he could barely walk when I got him from his apartment."

"Do you want me to come with you? I mean, I could comfort him too." Jin asked. "I could tell Namjoon and the staff  that there is an emergency to deal with."

"No, it's fine, I know how to handle this, I only left him now because he calmed down, but I have to hurry before he wakes up." Jimin replies. Seokjin gives a rueful smile but nods along with the plan.

Jimin waits by the door, pacing anxiously in worry as Seokjin runs to the kitchen, returning as quickly as he could with some to-go bags full of Taehyung's favorites.

"Here, some are other orders, but I'll help the kitchen staff remake them..."

Jimin mouths a thank you, taking the bags and swiftly makes an exit out of the restaurant.

"Sorry about that..."Jin apologizes, back in the vip room.

"You were gone for a while, something wrong?" Yoongi sat up in his chair waiting for an answer.

"Oh, not at all..." Jin waves off as unimportant for the vip gang. "It was just Jimin in a hurry to get food for him and Taehyung" Jungkook's head turns straight up when hears the name, his phone full of unanswered texts to the boy.
