"That was amazing" Chae clapped, clinging onto Hoseok's arm.
"I couldn't believe how many times Namjoon fell over" Jin laughed.
"Shhh you didn't see anything" Namjoon rolled his eyes.

"Kook you were amazing at skating" Yoongi complimented the boy.
"Thanks hyung" Jungkook smiled widely, looking at his boyfriend who was still pouting.
"Don't pout angel, you were amazing too. I was very proud" Jungkook spoke sincerely, rubbing their noses together and pressed a sweet kiss to the elders lips.

Taehyung wrapped himself around Jungkook, placing his hands into the younger's coat pockets as the waddled together to the food stall.
They all queued up and bought their food and sat on a long bench together.

"Mmm this is so good" Jimin spoke with his mouthful.
"But it's not as good as my cooking!"
"Of course not child" Jin rolled his eyes.
Jungkook and Tae who were sat at the end of the bench were very awkward, not really knowing what to do or say.

"So uh Jungkook, Taehyung, what do you do?" Yoongi asked noticing their quietness.
"I'm the owner and manager of crescent bar and Jungkook is the assistant manager" Taehyung replied.
"Oh nice, that's exciting. Why did you call it crescent bar?" Jimin pondered, meaning no harm.

Taehyung gulped and looked at him.
"I named it after my little sister"
"Awh that's sweet, I bet she was so happy to know that her older brother named the bar after her. Where is she now? What grade is she in?" Jimin shouted excitedly.
Taehyung froze on the spot.
"That's enough Jimin" Namjoon lowered his voice, making the table go quiet.

Taehyung looked up and stared at Namjoon with expressionless eyes before clearing his throat.
"I-uh- excuse me, I'm just gonna go to the toilet"
Jungkook held his hand and gave it a supportive squeeze. He wanted to go with the elder but he could tell that all Tae needed was a bit of space. But he knew if he wasn't back within at least 5 minutes he would go and find him.

As Taehyung walked away Jungkook watched Namjoon hurriedly saying "me too" before running off behind him.
"I-I'm sorry I'm not sure what I did but I'm so sorry Jungkookie"
"It's okay, it's not an easy topic, it's better not to ask any questions on the topic for now" Jungkook spoke softly.

Taehyung ran to the bathroom leaning towards the sink to grab hold of it. He looked at himself in the mirror and let out a loud cry before punching the mirror. His hands shook from the impact, as he slowly fell to the floor.

"Taehyung...fuck Tae it's fine" Namjoon ran over. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. He didn't mean to"
"It's fine, it wasn't you fault, so go, please"
"Tae"
"I said go" Taehyung shouted back, he couldn't stand hearing someone apologise for something which can't be fixed.
He didn't blame Namjoon it wasn't his fault at all, and he thought that it would be good to be friends with him again. But at that moment in time, the sound of apologies and other words was not what he needed.

Namjoon nodded and left. He ran out of the bathroom and back to the bench where the others were.
"Jungkook he needs you"
Jungkook nodded and didn't even think twice about jumping up and ran to the bathroom.

He opened the door and saw Taehyung leaning against the bathroom walls in the corner. Crying into his hands hysterically, blood covering his knuckles. Mirror shards along the floor.

"Namjoon I told you to go" Taehyung yelled again.
Jungkook's heart broke. But he contained himself and walked over. He crouched down in front of the boy and started caressing the boys hair, running his fingers through the strands.
Taehyung took his head away from his hands, and saw his boyfriend crouched I front of him as his level, looking at him with the most worrisome and caring eyes out there.

Jungkook didn't have to say a word. He knew what Tae was feeling. The younger took his face into his hands and caressed the damp cheeks. He sat down on the floor and brought the boys body towards. Taehyung cried into the boys neck, holding onto Jungkook as tight as he could. Grasping for something to stop him from falling into the dark pits of his depression.

Jungkook continued to brush his fingers through the boys hair, giving him as much support as he needed. He rubbed his back supportively.

Time passed and the cries died down. The hug wasn't as tight anymore but it was still there.
"How about we get them cuts cleaned up?"
Taehyung tiredly nodded and allowed Jungkook to pull him off the floor.
The younger pulled him to the sink and made him run his hands under the water.
He gently ran his fingers over the bloody areas so it didn't dry all over his skin.

"I'll dress it when we get home, okay. But for now, look at me" Jungkook said turning to the boy who was looking at him shoes.
"Tae, look at me angel"
Taehyung slowly raised his head to meet the younger's eyes.
"It's alright, don't fear the grief, you've got to embrace it. But either way, my hand will always be there for you to hold"
"Thank you" Taehyung mumbled.

"Do you want to go home?"
Taehyung shook his head no, "let's stay a little longer"
"Okay but again any time you want to leave we'll go" Taehyung nodded before pulling the younger into a sweet kiss.
He pecked the youngers lips a few times making Jungkook giggle. Just the sound of his laugh made Taehyung crack out a smile.

"There he is, my baby bear"
"You make me sound like a kid sweetheart" Taehyung huffed.
Besides the burning cheeks Jungkook was experiencing from the nickname, he laughed.
"That's because you are, you're my baby, my baby bear. Now come on, let's go back"

Jungkook grabbed the boys hand, and wrapped his spare arm around Tae's.
"Hi guys, everything okay?" Chae asked worriedly.
"Everything is fine don't worry yourself" Jungkook ruffled her hair before sitting back down. Jungkook made sure to not let go of the elders hand, and began unconsciously fiddling with his fingers.

They all stood up after a while and decided to check out the other activities which had been put up along with the ice rink. There was some jewellery stands, food stands, arcade games and so on.

They all spent the time going around winning toys and eating food, and genuinely having a nice time. Until they finally decided to call it at end. They all ended up saying goodbye till it got to Namjoon and Taehyung. There was a slight hesitation but Taehyung put his hand out and pulled Namjoon into a bro hug.

"I'm sorry" Taehyung apologised for his behaviour from earlier.
"I'm sorry too, I really am. Keep you head up, and I hope we can be friends again"
"Of course, I'd like that" Taehyung smiled and rushed back to his boyfriend who was watching him with a smile as he awaited for them to leave.

"Bye everyone"
They all waved and went their separate ways.
"Okay?" Jungkook asked as they began walking home together.
"Very okay"
