Jungkook was lonely in a new city and country all by himself, starting college. This was supposed to be his dream, yet he couldn't find it in himself to be happy. He worked multiple jobs just to afford the dorm costs of his New Yor...
Hoseok noticed the younger one looked pale and exhausted. It made him worried to see him like this.
Jungkook looked at him and said, "Tired from the other part-time job, but I already resigned, because the manager was so demanding and complained a lot."
"You know what? You can end your shift early, if you're not feeling better. I can take you to your home." Hoseok worriedly said.
Jungkook suddenly felt nervous about Hoseok wanting to take him to his home. The thought of it scared him. "I-I'm okay. I can go home alone. I'll end my shift early."
Jungkook grabbed his phone from his pocket, unlocked it, getting ready to text Jimin, when he suddenly passed out.
"Jungkook!"

Hoseok was confused about what Jimin said. He didn't reply back as he drove his car, on his way to Jungkook's dorm.
After a thirty-minute drive, they arrived at the dorm. Hoseok knocked on the door twice.
Jimin opened the door with worried eyes, holding onto Bam gently by the collar, soothing the dog who was worried about Jungkook. "H-Hello."
Damn, Jungkook, you have such a cute boyfriend.
"Can we go inside now? He's a little bit heavy." Hoseok said, still mesmerized by Jimin.
He nodded quietly, moving Bam and himself aside to allow the elder to carry Jungkook in.
"J-Just put him on our bed."
Hoseok noticed that there's only one bed at the dorm as he carefully laid Jungkook on the bed, struggling a bit because it was lofted, and he looked at Jimin.
"Are you Jungkook's boyfriend?" He asked.
"What is a boyfriend?" Jimin asked. "Are those real? I thought they were only in dramas." Jimin slipped between English and Korean as he spoke, petting the dog.
"Huh? I thought you were a couple because there's only one bed. Does that mean you sleep together in one bed?" Hoseok asked curiously.
Jimin puffed his cheeks out, not knowing how to respond. Jungkook was the only one he'd ever spoken to. He was suddenly hyper aware of the fact that he wasn't "normal," by any means. He wanted to get the stranger to leave, but he also wanted him around because he didn't know what to do for Jungkook.
Carefully, Jimin responded. "We only have one bed. I cuddle him to sleep every night. Is that weird?"
"N-Not really. I'm glad that Jungkook has someone in his dorm. But do you just stay here at the dorm?" Hoseok asked.
"Googie said the outside world is dangerous. I've never really been anywhere else." Jimin contemplated. "I wait patiently for him."
Hoseok was surprised. "Don't you feel suffocated? It's not really that dangerous outside."
Jimin thought about how to respond in a way that would make sense for a human. "I have an illness that makes it dangerous. Jungkook takes care of me."
"Oh. By the way, I think I need to go now." Hoseok said.
The sculpture visibly deflated at this. "Okay. I don't know how to help him." Jimin fiddled with the sweater paws of the green sweater he stole from Jungkook and squeezed his legs together, which were clad in a black skirt. "I'm scared."
Hoseok smiled. "Well. I'll stay here and wait for him to wake up."
"Thank you. You seem very nice. I don't have anyone beside Jungkook and Bam." He petted the dog and frowned in Jungkook's direction.
"I think we can be friends too." Hoseok said.
"Really? You want me?" Jimin giggled.
"If it's okay with you, and Jungkook." Hoseok said.
