The next day, Taehyung woke up feeling tired. Even though they didn't have a photoshoot scheduled for that day, they were still working on the summer package, which meant a full day of filming and activities. Taehyung sighed as he got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to start his morning routine.

As he was doing his skincare routine, there was a knock on the door. Taehyung opened it to find Jungkook standing there, looking worried.

"Hyung, you okay?" Jungkook asked. Taehyung looked away, feeling embarrassed "I'm sorry I was playing games with Jimin hyung and my phone was on silent and then I slept without checking my phone...I'm so sorry hyung"

Taehyung was sad but didn't let himself show it "Yeah, I'm okay now," he said, not wanting to burden Jungkook with his problems.

Come on, Taehyung. Jungkook has his own life too. He can't just always stick around you just because he's dating you. He's his own person!"

But Jungkook could tell something was off. He stepped forward and tenderly cupped Taehyung's face in his hands, making him look him in the eyes. "Are you sure?" he whispered. "I know how bad your nightmares can be."

Taehyung sighed and leaned into Jungkook's touch. "It was just a bad dream," he said. "About my parents."

Jungkook's expression softened. He knew how much Taehyung loved and missed his parents, who had passed away when he was trainee . "I'm sorry, hyung," he said, wrapping his arms around Taehyung in a comforting hug. "I wish I could make it better for you."

Taehyung closed his eyes and hugged Jungkook back tightly, clutching his shirt tightly in his small fist "You already have," he whispered.

As Jungkook held Taehyung in his arms, he could feel his boyfriend's body gradually relaxing. He kissed Taehyung's forehead gently and whispered, "I'm sorry, Tae. I promise to always be there for you, no matter what."

Taehyung smiled weakly and nuzzled into Jungkook's chest. "Thank you, Kookie."

Jungkook hugged Taehyung tighter

They stayed like that for a few moments, just holding each other. Taehyung felt a sense of relief wash over him. It was always easier to face his fears and troubles with Jungkook by his side.

Eventually, they pulled away from each other. Taehyung smiled at Jungkook, grateful for his presence. "Thank you," he said.

Jungkook smiled back. "Of course, hyungie," he booped Taehyung's nose who scrunched his nose and smiled . "I'm always here for you." raven head said pecking Taehyung's cheeks who blushed. Even the small touch from Jungkook is enough to make Taehyung a blushing mess. And that's what we call Jeon effect.

Taehyung nodded and went back to his morning routine, (with a clingy bunny backhugging him all the time )feeling a little bit better. He knew that he couldn't rely on Jungkook to fix everything for him, but having him there made all the difference. He was determined to find ways to cope with his nightmares on his own, but for now, he was just glad to have someone to lean on.

The BTS members gathered in the living room, curious about what the directors had planned for them.

"We have a challenge for you guys today. You will play a series of games where you will earn points. The members who earn the highest points will be given the most money, while the others will also receive money, but according to their points. You will have to use that money to buy whatever you want, but there is a catch - you can't add your own money. You have to buy what you need within the given amount." The director explained and the series of 'ohs' & 'ok' could be heard in the room

"So, what will be playing first?" Hoseok asked, excitedly

The game is called "Janggi," a traditional Korean game similar to billiards. However, in this case, they are using a bottle cap instead of a ball. The members will take turns to flick the cap with their fingers on a flat surface, aiming to make it go as far as possible. The distance the cap travels before it falls off the table will be measured, and the member who flicks the cap the farthest will be declared the winner. If the cap falls off the table before reaching a certain distance, the player will be disqualified.

Jin chimed in, "Ah, I remember playing this as a kid. I'm definitely winning this one."

Jimin scoffed , "Don't be so sure, hyung. You know I have a knack for these types of games." and he flicked his hair

RM added, "I think it's all about precision and aim. Let's see who has the best technique."

Hoseok laughed, "I have a feeling this game will be chaotic with all of us trying to flick our caps at the same time."

Yoongi agreed, "Yeah, it's going to be loud, but it'll be fun."

***

The members gathered around a large wooden table, eagerly waiting for the game to begin.

Yoongi was the first one to pick up the bottle cap, examining it carefully. "Alright guys, let's do this," he said, his eyes focused on the cap.He took a deep breath, focused his eyes on the cap and flicked it with his finger. The cap flew across the table, but didn't go very far. His fellow members cheered him on anyway.

Next up was Jungkook, who studied the cap for a moment before flicking it. The cap traveled a bit further than Yoongi's, but still didn't make it to the end of the table.

One by one, the members took their turns. Some were better than others, but none of them managed to flick the cap all the way to the end of the table.

As they continued playing, the mood became more and more relaxed, and the members started to joke around. When it was Jin's turn, he made a dramatic gesture before flicking the cap. Unfortunately, his aim was off and the cap flew off the table.

"Whoops," he laughed, shrugging his shoulders. "I guess I was a little too excited."

The members all laughed along with him, teasing him about his failed attempt. Even the staff members were chuckling at the antics of the group.

The game continued, with each member taking their turn and adding their own spin to it. When it was Taehyung's turn, he accidentally hit the cap too hard and it went flying off the table.

"Oops, my bad," he said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. His cheeks turning red. Jungkook smiling fondly at his cute boyfriend.

The members all laughed, and Jimin gave him a pat on the back. "It's okay, Tae. You'll get 'em next time."

As the game drew to a close, the members counted up their scores to see who had flicked the cap the farthest. Although no one had managed to reach the end of the table, Jimin came the closest and was declared the winner.

"Wow Jimin hyung, you're so amazing " Jungkook said, grinning.

Jimin blushed at the praise, looking pleased with himself. "Thanks, guys. I knew all those years of practicing would pay off eventually." he dramatically bowed, wiping his non existence tears making others laugh
