Taehyung closed the doors and turned on the alarm. He pressed his forehead to the cold wooden doors for a moment, until he heard:

'What the fuck is going on?!'

He turned to Jimin, who looked enraged.

'I would like to know that too...' he said tiredly.

Jimin dropped his bag on the floor.

'But you two knew that aunt Minji and uncle Namjoon often deal with something similar! I had no idea! They had combat uniforms! And what the fuck they can do, huh?! Where did they go?! When will they come back?!'

Jungkook simply went to Jimin and hugged him.

'Hyung, they WILL come back...' he assured.

Jimin's hands were still lying alongside his sides. He looked at Taehyung over Jungkook's shoulder and his eyes were too shiny right now.

Taehyung nodded. Jimin slowly hugged Jungkook back and soon after Taehyung embraced both of them.

'They went together...' he said, trying to stay calm himself. 'I'm panicking when my dads are going alone, but with the rest... I think they know what they are doing...'

'But my dads...' Jimin started. 'They are not the fighting type... Their power is no offensive type...'

'Then good my parents are with them...' Jungkook stroked Jimin's back. 'And in your place, I wouldn't underestimate them. Defensive powers can be more than dangerous.'

He pushed Jimin into Taehyung's arms and took out his phone.

'What are you doing?' Taehyung asked.

'Texting Yoohyeon...' Jungkook said, typing fast. 'We want to know what's going on, right? She will get all the info from the network...' he hid his phone and looked at Taehyung. 'They said we need to wait for grandparents, so we can, as well, set up a movie and wait.'

Jungkook went to tv and turned it on. Taehyung and Jimin looked at him frowning.

He was so calm.

'Are you ok with "Avengers"?'

'Good guys kicking bad guys' asses? Fits perfectly...' Jimin said hesitantly.

Jungkook nodded and disappeared inside the house for a bit. He came back with arms full of blankets and pillows.

'Come Jimin-ssi...' he patted the couch. 'They snapped you out of your sleep, right?'

Jimin and Taehyung joined him on the couch. Jungkook threw the blankets on them, when they settled with Jimin in the middle.

Taehyung's eyes frequently traveled to Jungkook, who seemed to be engaged in the movie, which he watched hundreds of times. 

In the middle of the movie Jungkook patted Jimin's feet that were resting on his lap, while Jimin's head was placed on Taehyung's lap.

'I will make coco for us...' he said. 'We should drink something warm. Uncle Jin always says hot drinks soothes nerves...'

When he hadn't come back to the living room Taehyung and Jimin looked at each other knowingly and Jimin moved so Taehyung could get up, knowing exactly what his best friends wanted to do.

Taehyung walked to the kitchen and leaned on the doorframe to observe.

Jungkook was looking at his phone, while waiting for the milk to heat up. When he hadn't found what he was looking for in his phone, he threw it on the kitchen counter and embraced himself, closing his eyes.
