"Koo, where will you stay? You can stay with me and Joon and Aecha or with them." Seokjin pointed to the couple of three who were busy eating away at another table.

It had been a week and Jungkook's body was recovered, but so far his mental health wasn't. He couldn't bear the thought of staying at Yugyeom's house so his friends suggested he stay with them.

"Or uhm, y'know Tae's place is always there too." Seokjin mumbled with his mouth full of noodles.

They were in the hospital cafeteria together all eating since none of them had for a while. They were all too worried about their friend to leave the waiting area.

"Let me think about it, hyung." Jungkook murmured.

He had Jihu in his lap and Minsu curled up by his side. Minsu wouldn't leave Jungkook alone, not for a second. He was always there. His children were the only two beings that Jungkook allowed to touch him- other than the nurses and doctors of course, but he still flinched every time.

"Okay, no rush." Seokjin smiled.

...

"Are you sure you wanna stay with them?" Seokjin pouted as he carried one of Jungkook's bags for him. His guards carried the rest, but he still wanted to be of help.

"Yeah, I need to be with Jimin." Jungkook shrugged and maneuvered Jihu to his left hip so he could give his friends a small hug from the side. He missed them too much to not at least try to hug them, even if it lasted not even five seconds.

Once he said goodbye to his friends and left the hospital with the couple of three, he spotted one farmiliar ravenette standing by a trashcan with a single red rose in his hand.

Jungkook whispered something to Jimin and handed Jihu to him. Minsu was reluctant to let his father walk off without him, but he stayed beside Yoongi since he felt safer with him at the moment. Usually he would go to Changbin, but he was already in another car that would follow theirs once they left.

The Idol slowly approached the man and gently gripped his shirt sleeve. The man turned and they locked eyes.

"Hello, Taehyung." Jungkook spoke. "I-Is that for me?" He pointed to the rose that glimmered in the sunlight.

Taehyung nodded swiftly and held it out. Their fingers grazed and Jungkook flinched, but he still smiled.

"Are you okay?" He breathed. It was a dumb question; of course Jungkook wasn't okay. But he had nothing else to say. He couldn't just blurt that his home was open and that he wished Jungkook would stay with him again, even if it was for a day.

"Kind of. Thank you for the rose." Jungkook felt like hugging Taehyung, but he stayed to himself.

"I know they're your favorite." The elder rubbed the back of his neck nervously. He glanced behind Jungkook and saw his friends staring at him intently.

The Idol felt like he was about to cry as he remembered their last date and Taehyung giving him the rose and proposing later on. He looked down at his promise ring and bit his lip as he began to think.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad staying with him. His house was secure and he knew the place like the back of his hand. He would only be constantly reminded of their past each day.

"Tae?" He looked up,meeting eyes with the ravenette who smiled sweetly at him.

"Can we stay with you?"
