"Taetae, that was so cool of you!" Yoongi wraps an arm around his shoulder. "Have you all noticed Bang PD's face? That was hilarious."

Seokjin shakes his head with a smile at Yoongi's excitement towards how Taehyung spoke to Bang PD back in the office.

He stops walking for a moment until Namjoon walks pass him. "Joonie, are you sure about coming back all by yourself? I can come with you."

Namjoon cups his cheeks briefly. "Don't worry, he won't hurt me."

"Hey, I'm gonna make dinner tonight." Jungkook announces out of the blue, standing next to the sofa while the others already lay around on the sofa, some on top of the other.  "Taehyung, wanna help me?"

"Uh—yeah."

They leave the living room while Hoseok whispers loud enough for all the boys to hear, "That talk must have worked."

Jungkook closes the kitchen door to have a bit of privacy, one that sometimes is hard to find in this household.

"Holy moly, Tiger! What are you doing here?"

"Taehyung got scared of -" Jungkook hugs him tightly for a moment. He stays still, not processing what's going on. Is he hugging me?

"I missed you. It's been almost a month since the last time you came. How's my best buddy doing?"

Tiger blinks, followed by a chuckle. "Bunny, you're unbelievable. I've been. . ." he scratches the back of his neck, "good?"

Jungkook ruffles his hair and Tiger shakes his head to put them unsuccessfully back into place. "Of course you've been good. Anyway, what were you saying? Taehyung what?"

"I guess he got scared of Bang PD." he runs a hand through his hair. "Did you recognise me in the company?"

"How could I not? Taehyung would never talk to Bang PD like that—unless he actually sees Bang PD hurting his Chimmy." he grins at the annoying but cute famous nickname. Jimin-ssi is so much better.

Tiger lets out a small laugh. "He'll come back soon though. Anyway, will you force me to help you make dinner because you decided to use it as an excuse to talk to me?"

"So we're beginning to know each other, huh?" his grin intensifies. "But now that we're here lets make it. What do you want to eat?"

"What do you want to eat? Taehyung will have taken control by then. Besides, I don't know how to cook and as far as I know Taehyung's skills are horrible. Can I just watch you cook?"

"Can you stay longer?"

Tiger shrugs a shoulder as in saying it is what it is. "As long as Taehyung lets me. Because it hurts like hell fighting with him."

Jungkook removes his hand from the cabinet and turns to him with a slight frown. "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Every time Taehyung's about to take control and I suppress him down and he refuses, it hurts. It feels like my brain is going to leave my skull. Hope you never feel this type of pain, Bunny."

Jungkook suddenly remembers the day they came back from the convenience store when Mimi chased them. Tiger did talk to him like he was in some sort of pain, but back then Jungkook thought he was just exhausted from the run.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that. Don't suppress him down if he wants to come back, I would like to talk to him again—ah, let's make some soup, Taehyung will like that." Jungkook opens the cabinet to grab some utensils.

Tiger raises an eyebrow. "Since when do you care about him?"

"Well, we had a talk."

Tiger scratches his neck. "About what?"
