He took deep breath put his palm on doorknob and pushed open the bedroom door and froze at the sight before him.
His entire world crash down in an instant. All his dreams and promises were broken in a second. A single tear flowed from his left eye a...

"JUNGKOOK!" Jimin screamed, jolting awake, his body drenched in sweat. His eyes darted around the unfamiliar room, As his vision cleared, he realized he was lying in a bed, but it wasn’t his own.
Panic surged through him until he noticed Taehyung sleeping at his bedside, his head resting awkwardly on the edge of the mattress.
Before Taehyung could finish, Jimin slapped him again, harder this time. Taehyung finally woke up properly, rubbing his sore cheek and now fully aware of the situation. His eyes widened as he saw Jimin’s face—tear-streaked, flushed, and drenched in sweat. Jimin was hiccuping, his breath uneven, and his whole body trembling.
"Where is my Kookie? I-I saw him!" Jimin blurted out, his voice frantic and shaking. "He was right here. I saw him, Taehyung! W-Where is he?"
“He is up---”
But before he could finish, Jimin slapped him again, tears pouring down his face.
"Don't you dare tell me he’s gone! I know he’s alive! WHERE IS HE?" Jimin screamed.
"CAN YOU STOP SLAPPING ME?" Taehyung screamed back at Jimin.
"THEN WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING ME WHERE HE IS?" Jimin shot back.
The loud argument caused Mr. and Mrs. Jeon to rush into the room, worried expressions on their faces. "What’s going on in here? Why are you both screaming? Jimin, are you alright?" Mr. Jeon asked.
As Jimin was about to answer he noticed a figure run into the room looking worried, he froze for a second. He slapped himself, wondering if he was hallucinating again.
“Baby what happened why are you screaming and slapping yourself,” the figure said.
"Koo-kie? Is that y-you?" Jimin asked slowly, his voice trembling with disbelief.
"Obviously, it’s me! Who else would it be, bab—" Jungkook began, but before he could finish his sentence, Jimin slapped him hard across the face.
"WHY THE FUC... fruit banana juice are YOU SLAPPING EVERYONE?!" Taehyung yelled, exasperated while holding his cheeks defensively in case Jimin decided to strike again.
Mr. Jeon gently patted Jimin on the back and said, "Kookie, you two talk it out. I think Jimin had a nightmare. Taehyung, let's give them some space."
Jimin noticed how Jungkook’s parents spoke kindly to him as if everything was normal. He watched as Taehyung left the room, still holding his red cheeks, throwing a wary glance back at Jimin just in case another slap was coming.
Once the door was locked, Jungkook walked over to Jimin and noticed how frozen he was, still standing there in the same spot. Jimin's face was tear-streaked and his cheek red from the slap he had given himself.
"Jiminie, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" Jungkook asked softly, his voice filled with concern as he gently caressed Jimin's cheek.
Jimin's eyes met Jungkook’s, still glassy with disbelief. "Kookie... I knew you’d never le-leave me," he mumbled, half-lost in his thoughts, his voice cracking with emotion. Jungkook could sense that the dream had shaken Jimin deeply.
