*Taehyung's view*

More than a week has passed since my fight with Jimin. It's the first time we've stopped talking to each other for more than two days.

On that day when I fought with him, I felt that he was hurt because it's the first time that I talked to him like that. Normally, we make jokes at each other, tease each other, and sometimes have misunderstandings that we quickly resolve. But now, we don't sit in the same room, and we don't talk to each other.

To be honest, I didn't take the first step to talk to him because, like him, I felt hurt. I was already stressed about the bad shot I took, and my little brother's words are still piercing my heart like a sharp knife. My heart is still bleeding. Additionally, I was hurt because Jimin didn't respect my request at that moment.

Since that day, in the dorm, I've noticed that Jimin comes in very late at night, perhaps waiting until he's sure I'm asleep before entering his room. Unbeknownst to him, I pretend to be asleep, staying awake until I see him come in, and only then do I close my eyes to maintain the illusion.

Yesterday, I waited for him until late at night because he hadn't returned to the dorm, and I started to worry. I wanted to call him, but I refrained from making any noise in the living room, where I was alone, playing with my phone. The lights were off as the other boys were already asleep, except for Jimin and Yoongi, who was still in his studio. Trying not to wake up Jungkook, I sat silently.

In the wee hours of the morning, the dorm door creaked open. It was Yoongi supporting Jimin, Jimin's arm draped over his shoulders. As Yoongi assisted Jimin, who was clearly drunk, I stood up and approached to help. Jimin looked at me and slurred, 'WhY dId YoU dO tHiS tO mE? WhYy?' Jimin, when he's drunk., Jimin, when he's drunk, becomes quite funny.

Jimin, I miss him. I miss my best friend.

As for Jungkook, ahh my Jungkookie, he tried to cheer me up and be by my side. However, every time he attempted to touch me, I blushed and distanced myself from him. I was truly lost, unsure of what to do. Perhaps I needed a little time to collect myself.

Today, Seojon sent me a message inviting me to dinner with the other hyungs. Maybe I needed it; perhaps they could help lift my spirits.

I threw on a random t-shirt and some jeans before leaving the dorm. Before heading out, I needed to send a message to Jimin.

At that moment, Jungkook approached me, attempting to hug me from behind. I quickly moved away and said, ''Sorry, Jungkookie. Can I ask you a favor? Could you send a message to Jimin from your phone? Tell him that I'll be coming late to the dorm, or maybe I won't be back until the morning, so he can come and sleep in his bed early... and if he come let me know!'

Jungkook curiously asked, ''Where are you going? And why won't you be back until the morning?''

''Seojon and the other hyungs invited me to dinner to celebrate the end of my casting for the kdrama.''

Jungkook nodded and said, "'Okay, I'll do it, but don't drink too much, okay, baby?''

I nodded, and with a small smile, I stepped toward the door and left the dorm.

*Jungkook's view*

More than a week has passed since Taehyung and Jimin's fight. It's the first time I've seen both of them seriously ignoring each other.

From the day of their fight, I felt like something was off with Taehyung. It's not my Taehyungie who likes to be alone with me. It's not my Taehyungie who likes to kiss my cheeks every minute.
