I like my Kookie with Suga

25

Jungkook lowered his eyes, suddenly no longer seeming so unconcerned about his actions.

"Tell me... Are you even serious? And you want to work here? Forg..." Jin started to rant, but I interrupted him.

"Jin, he doesn't work here, he doesn't get paid, I brought him so he wouldn't disturb Yoongi's writing, he doesn't have university today." I explained.

"But why did you bring him, sue him and let him rot in prison." Jin scowled at the younger boy,  glare at him,causing him to swallow, Jin could look really scary.

"Hyung, no... please don't think too badly of Kookie, he's really a sweet guy, I helped raise him, I should know... but... he's not normal, he's special. I swear he won't hurt anyone..." pleaded Hoseok and immediately Jin's eyes softened again.

"Listen, I'll help you, we'll fix this." he hugged Jungkook with so much love, he must have really seen him as a little brother. I don't know why, but seeing Hobi defend him so much did something to me. I tried to imagine Jungkook as a little boy who picked on everyone and didn't know what he was doing wrong, why people avoided him and I realized what Yoongi had seen and why he wanted to help him so badly. He had had a childhood like that too, but it was different things that caused him to be shunned, but he was helpless too and didn't know what he was doing wrong. I looked up at Jungkook and met his gaze over Hobi's shoulder. I smiled encouragingly at him and vowed that I would help him, this time without a spark of resentment in me. His eyes widened when he saw my sincere smile and when his eyes began to gleam wetly, I had to turn away, because I almost shed a tear too. It was just gone, my anger... I wanted to sulk and hold on to it longer, but I let it go.

If Hoseok and Taehyung were so committed to him, if what I had seen at the beginning was the real Jungkook, then we should do everything we could to make and keep him as healthy as possible. Taehyung had probably been right, Jungkook had been doing so well for so long that he had been lulled into a false sense of security and they had forgotten about it, had let everything slide until it was too late and Jungkook's illness had overtaken him again, his behavior had developed in the wrong direction. I wouldn't let that happen again.

"Right, enough hugging, let's get to work." Jin called out, once again feeling slightly jealous that Hoseok wasn't paying attention to him. Was I taking on too much by helping the two of them a little? Well, on the contrary, a good-humored Jin made my job much easier. And setting Hobi up with him was also good because I had seen how much Namjoon liked Taehyung and having his ex-boyfriend under the hood eliminated the risk of the two of them getting back together, that would leave a grumpy Jin and a sad Namjoon behind and you couldn't set the two of them up, I had tried that years ago and it didn't end well.

I kept Jungkook on his toes all day, gave him so much to do that he was constantly busy and then he talked to me so sweetly again, was friendly and courteous the whole time, seemed so sweet again, not at all cheeky or bossy and I suspected that he just always had to have something to do, that it was good for him to be busy. But that couldn't be the solution either, I couldn't let him slave away from sunrise to sunset... So I decided to call Taehyung to see if he had found a therapist. I needed someone professional by my side so that we could help as effectively as possible. I picked up my cell phone and pressed the contact button.

"Noona?" Taehyung's tired voice rang out, he didn't sound well at all.

"Taehyung... Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

"Everything's fine... how's Jungkook? I hope he's not causing you too many problems. We've found a therapist for him. He can see him next week." he explained and I sighed with relief.

"I wanted to ask about that. Can I have his number, I have so many questions..." I asked him.

"Yeah, sure, I'll send it to you... listen... I have to hang up, I'm at work... bye Noona." with that he hung up and I frowned. He and Jimin worked at the same company, which is why I texted Jimin to check on him, I was honestly worried, he sounded so messed up... was it the situation with Jungkook that was bothering him so much or was there more...?
