As the night wears on, Taehyung, Yoongi, and Jungkook sit in the dimly lit living room, the weight of the situation hanging heavily in the air. Jungkook's tear-stained face reflects the turmoil within him, his emotions raw and unfiltered.

Yoongi breaks the silence, his voice calm but firm. "Jungkook, you need to apologize to Jimin. You hurt him deeply, and you owe it to him to make things right."

"You think I didn't?" Jungkook's voice comes out harsher than he intended—battling with ego and pain. "I've even gone down on my knees, begging for his forgiveness. I told him countless times how much I love him, and how he means the world to me. I did what I had to but he still left."

Yoongi's eyes narrow, a spark of frustration igniting. "Kook, apologizing is not a one-time thing. It's about showing through your actions that you understand the gravity of your mistakes. Jimin needs time, and you have to be patient. Rushing things won't fix anything."

Jungkook clenches his fists, his frustration bubbling to the surface. "You're always so rational and cold. This is about my relationship, not some case you're investigating. I love him, hyung, and I can't stand the thought of losing him."

Taehyung, seated between them, senses the tension escalating. He raises his hands in a calming gesture. "Guys, let's not make this worse. Yelling won't help. Jungkook, I get it. You're hurting. Yoongi hyung, he's not trying to undermine your advice. Emotions are high right now."

But his words fall on deaf ears as Yoongi and Jungkook continue to exchange heated words, their tempers flaring with each passing moment. Taehyung sighs, feeling caught in the middle of their sibling rivalry.

Yoongi scoffs, crossing his arms. "And you're always trying to play mediator. Some things need to be said, even if they're harsh. Jungkook needs a reality check."

Jungkook shoots up from the couch, his eyes burning with frustration. "A reality check? Do you think I'm not aware of how much I screwed up? I feel it every damn second. But yelling at me won't change the fact that Jimin left. You think you're helping, but all you're doing is making it worse."

Taehyung, trying to maintain his neutrality, intervenes. "Yoongi hyung, Jungkook, let's all take a step back. Jungkook, I know you're hurting, and Yoongi hyung, I understand you're trying to help. But we won't get anywhere with anger. Let's find a way to support Jungkook in a constructive manner."

Jungkook glares at Yoongi's retreating figure, his jaw clenched. "He acts like he knows everything. I'm trying, Tae. I really am. But he won't give me a chance."

Yoongi's brows furrow at Jungkook's defensive tone, his own frustration bubbling to the surface. "Begging for forgiveness doesn't erase what you did, Jungkook. You violated his trust, and you need to take responsibility for that."

Jungkook's jaw tightens, his fists clenching at his sides. "I know I messed up, okay? I know! But I'm trying to fix it, and all I'm asking for is a little understanding."

Yoongi's expression tightens, his frustration bubbling to the surface. "You think a half-hearted apology is enough, Jungkook? You need to show Jimin that you're willing to change, that you won't make the same mistakes again."

Jungkook's jaw clenches, his own frustration rising. "And what do you know about it, hyung? You're not exactly an expert in relationships."

"Hey, I may not be an expert, but I know enough to see when someone's messing up," Yoongi retorts, his voice tinged with irritation.
