"Tae, Are you sure you're  okay? I don't think you should overdo it yet..."

"Totally~ I'm completely fine."

"But-"

Jungkook couldn't take his worried eyes off Taehyung. A few days ago, after visiting his father's grave, Taehyung practically locked himself in his room. Watching Taehyung stay in his room for several days without eating or sleeping properly, Jungkook almost went crazy. Jungkook was so worried that he asked Jin for help, and it was only when Jin came to their dorm room and administered nutritional fluids to Taehyung that he finally felt relief.

That day, Jin advised Jungkook to think of something that could soothe Taehyung's feelings. And what immediately came to Jungkook's mind was the little furry puppy that Taehyung had always cherished. Of course, bringing a dog into the dormitory was against the rules. But at the time, Jungkook didn't have the time to think about anything else other than comforting Taehyung.

If Taehyung was able to move freely and his psychological state was stable, he would have taken Taehyung to Hoseok's cafe. Although he knew that Taehyung had no memory of Yeontan, Jungkook had no doubt that if Taehyung met Yeontan, he would definitely fall in love with him at first sight. And, although Hoseok was constantly hearing things about Taehyung from Jimin, but he could guess how much Hoseok was still worried about Taehyung.

And, Jungkook could never forget Taehyung's face that day when he secretly brought Yeontan to their dorm room.

Jungkook had never seen Taehyung so surprised and happy. The sight of Taehyung holding Yeontan in his arms and rubbing his cheek against Yeontan's fluffy fur was exactly what Jungkook had expected. It was the brightest smile that Jungkook had ever seen from Taehyung when they met again after 7 years.

Yoongi told Jungkook to send Yeontan back to Hoseok's cafe, but Jungkook couldn't give up on Taehyung's bright smile. Jungkook let Yeontan stay in Taehyung's room for a few days, and just as he had hoped, Taehyung was gradually able to alleviate his sadness and frustration caused by his father's death.

Jimin brought Yeontan's food and snacks from Hoseok's cafe and gave them to Taehyung. And through that, Taehyung was able to become closer to Jimin. Jimin was very upset when he saw Taehyung treating him like a stranger. So, unlike Yoongi, he felt grateful to Jungkook for taking the risk of bringing Yeontan to the dormitory.
