NYT: The Oscars are next week and the talk of the town is Shot in the Dark - it seems that everyone involved has been nominated. Speaking of, Min Yoongi has announced his studio is going to greenlight children's programming.

As promised, Taehyung left in the morning. He kissed Jungkook goodbye, told him to call if he needed anything, and that he'd check in soon.

Jungkook wasn't sure what to do with himself after Taehyung left. He still felt the same frustration of being mired in this gridlock, like a car that kept stalling out. One that just couldn't make it up a hill that felt steeper than San Fransciso's Bradford Street.

After moping around the house for a few hours, he cleaned the kitchen, took a shower and attempted to write something new before losing the ability to keep from falling into old habits.

JUNGKOOK: Hey, are you
back in paris?

JIMIN: hey, and no

JUNGKOOK: Oh

JIMIN: yeah

JUNGKOOK: I just wanted
to tell you something

JIMIN: what might that be?

JUNGKOOK: I went to the
hospital this week

JIMIN: why?

JUNGKOOK: long story,
i'm better now

JIMIN: um, okay?

JIMIN: you could have
told me sooner?

JUNGKOOK: I know. I was
trying to feel better on my own

JIMIN: does this have
anything to do with lil
asking where you were?

JUNGKOOK: Argh. Yeah,
I guess so

JIMIN: but why are you
shutting tae out tho?

JIMIN: ...again

JUNGKOOK: I'm not

JIMIN: beg to differ

JUNGKOOK: I was really
sick okay?

JUNGKOOK: It was 100%
humiliating shit

JUNGKOOK: I didn't want
him to see that

JIMIN: koo, he's seen
you in some of the worst
states you've been in

JIMIN: he told me about
the little roof incident in NY

JIMIN: after the trial, he knows
pretty much everything

JUNGKOOK: Emotional is
different than physical

JIMIN: have you talked to him?

JUNGKOOK: He brought
me to the hospital

JIMIN: but have you let
him in? not just to observe

JUNGKOOK: Kinda

JIMIN: i'm trying to respect
your boundaries but

JIMIN: you're falling into
old patterns
