A/N: 

Loves, I figured it is safest to only promise a chapter a month for now until I can have more stability. 

Hopefully you enjoy this chapter. Please do comment and leave any kind of feedback! I love hearing from you as you already know. 

Unedited.

Here is chapter 77!

                                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

"How are you feeling?"

It took him a good second to understand that Jungkook was speaking to him. Taehyung was feeling like he just came out from surgery, like the anesthesia was just now slowly wearing off and he was having a hard time understanding what was actually going on. There is a fine line between reality and delusion. And delusion is a form of reality itself, a mutated perception of it, if you will. And that fine line as of right now was extremely blurry for Taehyung. Where was he? What time was it? Heck, what day was it? Has he been awake or asleep? Was he asleep or had one of the alters come out? Did he have alters at all? Did he have DID or has he been in a long coma where he had experienced this whole other reality? Well, once he zeroed in on Jungkook, that blurry line cleared up all too well, life came back into focus and the puzzle pieces finally came together again... somewhat.

"Taehyung, are you okay? Can you hear me?"

Taehyung thought he should answer already, since Jungkook had been calling out to him all the while he was trying to figure himself out.

"I can hear you. Yes, I can hear you."

"How do you feel, Taehyung?"

The man in question sat up, hand on his forehead as he seemed to need a little massage to be able to gather his thoughts and formulate a sentence. This was probably not one of the days when he's felt most articulate.

"I'm not sure how to answer that. I'm okay but I feel lost and confused. I am so confused Jungkook. What happened? Oh God, this almost feels as bad as when I first noticed I was missing chunks of my life. What day is it? How long have I been out?"

Teahyung was fidgeting and looking around frantically as though he was searching for the answers to his questions around the room he was in.

"About a week."

"Oh my–! Fuck! What happened? Did anything happen? Did I - did he do anything? Oh my God! All the work I missed! I'm going to lose opportunities and jobs if this goes on! Jungkook. How do I fix this? Fix me. Fix me please!"

Jungkook was trying his darn best to not gather Taehyung into his arms and cuddle him back to tranquility, seeing as that would have the exact opposite effect and V's and Taetae's efforts would be in vain. Not to mention the fact that he didn't know if V would have the same determination were he to come out now.

"Taehyung, calm down! You need to calm down. You don't want to shift again, do you?"

That seemed to get Taehyung's attention. No, he most definitely did not want that. Taehyung slowly but surely, breathed himself back to a state of mind that did not threaten his presence. He had to make sure he does not have a repeat of what when down this past week.

"Atta-boy, look how well you're doing. Now listen here. Just because you have DID, does not mean you are broken. Taehyung as a whole needs no fixing. You are not a machine. You are a person that has bumps in his way. The goal is not to "fix" you. The goal is to make your system a functioning one. Right now you are all working against each other. We need to change that. Once you all work together, you will function beautifully and navigate life easily. At least more easily than you have been up until now."

Taehyung nodded in understanding, but did not look too convinced of the possibility of everything Jungkook was saying.

"And how do you suppose I can do that? I mean, if it hasn't happened to me up until now, what makes you so sure it can happen at all?"

Jungkook grinned and Taehyung subconsciously reflected it back to him.

"Up until now you didn't have your secret weapon." – Jungkook said cockily.

"And what is this secret weapon?" – Taehyung asked with a smirk on his face, seeming to have forgotten all about the almost nervous breakdown he was having, quite literally seconds ago.

"Why me of course!" – Jungkook was wondering if he had ever acted so theatrically before in his life. This creature. This beautiful thing has been bringing out sides of him he never knew existed since the second he waltzed into his life.

"Leave that for now and listen to what I'm about to tell you. Please keep an open mind. Can you do that for me?" –The playfulness that Jungkook had just before he spoke those words was no longer noticeable.

"I'm freaking out a little already Jungkook..."

"Since you were away, I just thought I could come up with something that might help you. And when I say you I of course mean your entire system. I am hoping that you will take the first smallest step towards a brighter future. How does that sound?"

"Sounds like rainbows and sunshine, oh and like there's a catch. What's the catch Jungkook?"

Taehyung had a slight panic in his gaze and a hint of distrust in his face. Jungkook was sure it wasn't anything to do with him personally, only that Taehyung had had more downs than ups and mostly changes in his life and his routine brought nothing but chaos.

"No catch Taehyung, only a need for bravery. I know I sound like an ass that hasn't walked a day in your shoes yet acts like he can teach you how to run your show but I promise I want to help. I'm sure you know that."

Taehyung shook his head and bit his lip in uncertainty. After looking at his fidgeting fingers for a few moments he spoke.

"What am I meant to do?"

"Nothing, Taehyung." – Jungkook declared with honesty and hope in his evident in his voice.

" I spoke with Taetae before you came back and I asked him to make contact."

"Make contact? What does that even mean? How would he do that?"

"It means, Taehyung, that sometime in the near future, you might hear a voice speaking to you in your head."

Taehyung's face said it all.
