The BTS dorm was usually filled with laughter, music, and the comforting noise of seven boys living under one roof. However, on this particular day, a storm was brewing inside, not outside.

"Jungkook, seriously? Do you always have to be so annoying?" Taehyung snapped, his eyes flaring with irritation. The two had been bickering over something trivial, as usual.

Jungkook rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on, Tae. You’re the one who started it!"

Taehyung stepped closer, his face inches from Jungkook's. "Maybe if you weren't so immature all the time, we wouldn’t have these problems."

Jungkook's face flushed with anger. He shoved Taehyung lightly but with enough force to make him stumble. "Immature? Look who's talking!"

It happened in an instant. Taehyung tripped over his own feet and fell hard against the edge of the table, wincing in pain as he clutched his side.

"Are you out of your mind?" Taehyung's voice cracked with disbelief.

Jungkook took a step back, his heart racing. "It was an accident," he said, his voice shaking. He reached out a hand to help Taehyung up, but Taehyung pushed it away, his eyes flashing with pain and anger.

Taehyung slowly rose to his feet, his hand still clutching his side. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm of emotions raging within him. "What the hell is your problem?" he snapped.

Jungkook's eyes widened, his hand hovering in the air where Taehyung had rejected it. "I said it was an accident," he replied, his voice a mix of defensiveness and regret.

The room went silent. The other members, who had been in various states of activity, froze and turned to look at the scene. Jimin was the first to react, rushing over to help Taehyung.

"Tae, are you okay?" Jimin asked, concern etched on his face.

Taehyung nodded, his teeth gritted. "It's fine," he murmured, though his face said otherwise. He gingerly felt his side where he had hit the table. The pain was sharp, but he didn't want to admit how much it hurt.

Namjoon stepped forward, his expression stern. "Jungkook, what the hell were you thinking?"

Jungkook's eyes widened in shock. "I didn't mean to—"

"It doesn't matter if you meant to or not," Yoongi interrupted, his voice cold. "You hurt him."

"I—" Jungkook tried to speak, but the words caught in his throat. He felt a surge of guilt and shame.

Jungkook's eyes searched Taehyung's, looking for any sign of forgiveness, but all he found was a wall of anger and frustration. "Tae, I really didn't mean it," he said, his voice softer now. "I'm sorry."

But Taehyung wasn't ready to let it go. "You're always sorry, Jungkook," he said, his voice rising. "But your apologies don't mean anything if you're just going to keep acting like a child!"

Jungkook's eyes narrowed, the sting of Taehyung's words hitting home. He clenched his fists at his sides, trying to hold back his own temper. "What do you want from me?" he shouted. "I said I'm sorry, but it's like you're never satisfied unless you can keep pointing out my mistakes!"

"You're the one who keeps making the mistakes," Taehyung shot back, his voice laced with frustration. "You need to grow up and think before you act!"

Jungkook looked around at his hyungs, seeing nothing but disapproval and anger in their eyes. He opened his mouth to apologize, but no words came out.
