Walking through the building of HBYE, your hurried footsteps are all that could be heard echoing throughout the empty hallways. As you speed walk towards your destination, you recall the conversation you just had with the other members as you passed by them on their way out.

"Hey y/n!" they all greet you brightly despite the late hour. You approach them with a smile, but your smile slowly turns into a frown when you notice one person missing. "Where's Jungkook?" you ask, although you already know the answer. Namjoon points over his shoulder with a heavy sigh, "He's still practicing. We tried to get him to rest but he doesn't listen." Shaking your head in disapproval, you bid them goodnight before heading to their practice room to fetch said boy.

You had called him several times when he was late for the dinner you two planned, and when he didn't answer any of your calls, you drove all the way to HYBE to give him a piece of your mind. You loved everything about Jungkook, including his hardworking and dedicated nature, but sometimes he didn't know where to draw the line between working hard and overexertion. That's when you and the other members would have to step in, stopping him before he could burn himself out.

You burst into BTS' practice room, slightly panting from all the flights of stairs you had to climb because you were too impatient to wait for the elevator. "What are you doing here?" he asks as he stares blankly at you. "Nice to see you too," you say sarcastically, crossing your arms over your chest as you give him an unimpressed look. "It's already 1 am, shouldn't you be at home?" he ignores your snarky comment as he states the obvious.

"I could be saying the same about you," you shoot back. He rolls his eyes at you, moving towards the monitor to start the music again. "Jungkook," you call out. "That's enough," you say sternly. When he doesn't seem to hear you, or at least he doesn't acknowledge that he heard you, you start to get ticked off.

"Did you hear me?" you ask, raising your voice as you try to be heard over the music. But he continues to dance as if you weren't there at all. Stomping over to the monitor, you turn the music off, waiting for him to acknowledge that you're there. "What is wrong with you Jungkook?" you ask frustratedly. Even though he could be stubborn, he was never this immature, going as far as ignoring your entire presence.

But just like you, he seemed to be reaching his patience's end and your comment caused something in him to snap. "You're what's wrong with me!" he blurts out without thinking. "You're always bothering me and telling me to rest and take care of myself. Don't you understand how important work is? I can't just take a break whenever I want to y/n!" he says glares at you coldly.

Ignoring the sharp pain in your chest caused by his harsh words and the tears forming in your eyes, you continue to fight back, "Everyone's already left except for you!" You knew just how important his work to him was and he had your full support. But you also knew that he wasn't required to stay hours later than everyone else and work himself to the point of exhaustion.

"You're so annoying," he mumbles under his breath. "Why? Because I'm right?" you spit out. "Because you never shut up!" he shouts at you, his breathing ragged as he stares at you. Any retorts you had get stuck in your throat as it constricts and it suddenly feels hard to breathe. You blink rapidly to keep your tears from falling, refusing to show how much his words affected you.
