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

Jungkook was having a hard time registering and processing the things that he was hearing. This was straight out of a movie. This just couldn't be true. Could it? Or maybe it was fate. Did he believe in fate? Maybe he should since this situation felt too designed and authored. How could this not be predestined?

"Okay, just walk me through this step by step. Taetae if you're hearing me, please give me all the details you can give, because I am having a bit of trouble with grasping this situation right now. Maybe if you tell me all of the details that you remember, I can try remembering something."

Jungkook's face was stuck on one expression when he looked at Taehyung as he waited to receive word of Taetae's response; an expression that's as hard to put into words as the many emotions he was feeling simultaneously. One common denominator was – disbelief. He did not doubt Taetae but believing this coincidence was real was way harder than he could have imagined.

Taehyung nodded as confirmation of Taetae's cooperation and proceeded with repeating the words only he heard Taetae speaking.

"At that time I was relatively newer to the modeling scene. I was taken to France to meet a few people that help me advance in my career. That day was a catalyst for me and my journey for the past few years. But at one point during that night I was grabbed; and you know how that goes. I remember nothing after that moment so I'll be telling you about you guys' meeting from Taetae's point of you. I cannot confirm anything since I have no recollection of ever meeting you prior to time in Dr. Han's clinic."

Jungkook nods in understanding. "Go on."

"As far as you and V's meeting goes. Taetae can only tell you that you two were drinking together and he passed out. And he knows that from the conversation he had with you after he surfaced.

When he came to, he was scared because there was loud music and he was alone without V to guide him. You noticed him when you heard him whining next to you. You speech was slightly slurred when you asked him if anything was wrong. But since he was afraid, he tried to not interact with you. But that must've struck you as odd because only moments before you were with a drunken V that was talking to you and was comfortable with you."

---Flashback---

"Are you okay?" – Jungkook asked as he tried to touch this wonderful man that had decided to keep him company on this unfortunate day and at that attempt the man screamed like a child and started crying. He couldn't help feeling slightly more sober at the events that were unfolding; events that were without a doubt unsettling for both him and unmistakably the beautiful crybaby as well. Now all he had to do was figure out what was happening to this stranger in front of him and understand how he could help.

That was the thing with Jungkook. Although he was never the biggest people person around, he had a habit of wanting to comfort anyone who needed it. Consoling people felt like second nature to him. So he worried for him. He slowly kneeled in front of him and asked – "What happened? How can I help? What do you need?"

"I need V. I can't be alone here. Please I need V." – The man pleaded.

Jungkook couldn't help but pick up on the difference between the man he was talking to only a few minutes earlier and the man he was talking to now. The guy earlier did not sound boyish, almost child-like, if anything he was a wild young man seemingly experiencing and enjoying his youth to the fullest. He was outspoken, even loud; definitely not timid and shy, and for sure not soft spoken and childlike.

" You're V. You said your name is V. What do you mean you need V?" – Jungkook asked softly, as though mirroring this new version if V who was claiming that is not his name. He figured it was best not to freak out the guy any more than he already was.

"No. No. I'm not V. I'm Taetae and I can't be alone. I don't know where I am. I need V with me. I can't be by myself."

This Taetae fellow was starting to hyperventilate with tears already streaming down his cheeks and Jungkook knew he had to help calm him. It was becoming obvious that something was amiss.

"Okay, okay, let's breathe. Let's calm down. I'm going to help you okay? You're not alone. Let's take deep breaths for now; together. Do it with me. Don't think about anything else; just deep breaths for now. Take a big deep breath in and then out. In, perfect, and then out. Good job, one more, in and out."

Jungkook somewhat coached this Taetae to a state of relative calmness as he gestured with his hands the rhythm of the breath and distracting him from an impending panic attack. He was familiar with those, having had one just earlier the same day.

"Are you okay now? Do you feel a bit better?"

He got a cute little nod in response. That was another difference. The man he had met earlier was not cute. He was masculine and unapologetically so. Not to mention drunk out of his wits. What he was definitely not was boyish and the fellow in front of him now was innocent and afraid, aside from the fact that he seemed completely sober.

"Can you tell me a little clearer what's happened? And I promise I will help you." – Jungkook thought he was too drunk to be of any help right now but there was no one else with him to help out with this matter. After all, he was alone before meeting V. So he had to pull himself together to the best of his abilities and come up with something to remedy and solve the conundrum he was dealt with out of the blue.

"We share a body. Me and V and Taehyung. I'm Taetae."
