Consequence of Success

After Jungkook's little confrontation with Taehyung, the two seemed to be a bit distant, opting to stay on two different ends during all hours of the day.

"Man, I cannot take their tension anymore." Jimin grumbled as he rolled his shoulders while massaging them. "It's such a headache. Jungkook keeps silent, Taehyung keeps acting like his cat just died and I feel physically suffocated whenever I am in their presence."

"I feel you, fuckin hell I do. Yesterday during dance practice I was right in between the two and they didn't even touch each other in the choreo."

Hoseok followed right up with his complaints and melodramatic gestures. And it wasn't late before everyone chimed in to share similar experiences with the tension between the two youngest of their band.

"I think we should-", before Namjoon could continue, in came Jungkook, shutting the door loudly behind him. His hair was messy and he was dripping in sweat with his wet gym clothes clinging onto his body.

"Oh boy you are drenched." Jin commented as he looked at Jungkook with a frown. "Had a hard workout session?"

Jungkook simply nodded to the question as he dragged himself towards the bathroom, looking like he could just fall from exhaustion at any moment.

It wasn't until 30 minutes had passed and Jungkook was still not out, that the members became worried. The stress only seemed to rise after Yoongi had went to knock on the door only to get no response.

"Do we have a spare key?", Namjoon probed as he looked at his members. Taehyung was quick to his feet, heart beating like crazy as he rummaged through the stack of spare keys with quivering hands. Sure things weren't going well with Jungkook these days but that didn't make him like the younger any less.

"Here!", he exclaimed as he ran back to his bandmates and handed the keys to Yoongi who was quick to unlock the door and swing it open harshly.

"Jungkook?" He called out with a bewildered look on his face as he saw the younger passed out in the bathtub with his clothes on.

"What the fuck, Jungkook!?" He shook him to bring him to his senses only to get his hands swatted away.

"Let me sleep," was all Jungkook mumbled before moving his face away from Yoongi.

Everyone looked dumbfounded at their youngest who had simply being asleep before Jin burst out into laughter.

"Oh my god he had us all worried there." He sighed in relief before walking forward to drain the bath water.

"Why did he just get in with his clothes though?" Jimin wondered, looking at others for an answer.

"Your guess is as good as mine."

"Let's just get him out of these wet clothes and put him to bed before he catches cold." Taehyung spoke with a hint of urgency as he proded Yoongi.

"Right. Namjoon you pick him up and get him to Jin's and mine room."

Namjoon nodded as he came forward to pick Jungkook up and carry him to the oldest members' room. They couldn't get him to his own room because it needed a passcode to enter, which was known to none but Jungkook.

"Weird guy he is," Hoseok chuckled fondly at him as he followed behind Namjoon along with the rest of the members.

"For sure. Let me just grab some clothes for him to wear," Jin laughed as he attempted to walk past everyone.

"I'll bring my clothes for him to wear", Taehyung muttered as he looked at Jin.

"Will your size even fit him?"
