Jimin woke up from the sound of knocks on his bedroom door. He moved his hand without realising the injury, only to wince in pain. His sleepiness vanished because of the ache shot through his arm and shoulder.

He again heard the sound of knocks. He got up from the the bed and walked towards the door and opened it, to find Jungkook standing there with a happy grin. Jimin smiled back, even though his shoulder was still hurting. But not as intense as before, it's tolerable.

"Good morning, Jiminie." Jungkook greeted, his bunny smile appearing on his face at the sight of him. "Did you sleep well?" Jimin nodded. And it was true. He had been sleeping wel, since his neighbors are with him. And the nightmares had been reduced too. He felt relax around them for some reason.

"I am here to call you for breakfast. Wash up and be there, before Jin hyung starts rapping." Jungkook laughed, and Jimin nodded. He had heard about it before, that the eldest will start rapping when he is angry. Taehyung had told him, how they tease the older about it. The thought made Jimin smile at the silliness.

"Do you need any help?" Jungkook asked looking fondly at him. Jimin shook his head as no. "Are you sure?" The older asked again. Jimin nodded with a smile, assuring him.

Past week, they had helped him with everything. But now, he is a little better. The pain reduced, not much, but it's tolerable. And he have one free hand. He can manage. And also, he don't want to burden them.

"Then i will wait here. If you need anything, knock on the door, okay?" Jungkook said sitting on on a chair beside bathroom. His voice was so soft that Jimin nodded without realizing. And walked into the bathroom.

By the time Jimin had finished his routine, with a little bit struggle, Jungkook had made his bead, he folded the blanket and placed the pillows properly.

Jimin smiled at the sight and walked towards the older. Jungkook looked at him with so much adoration, which melt Jimin's heart.

"Let's goo." Jungkook guided Jimin towards the dining room, where Jin was waiting with breakfast.

Jin smiled widely at them, when they sat beside him. "How was your sleep, Jiminah?" Jimin gave a thumbs up and smiled genuinely. Jin nodded his head returning the smile. "Let's eat."

The breakfast wasn't as loud as usual, as the others already went to BTS, except Jin and Jungkook's playful bickering. They were bickering over silly things like, who will pour water for Jimin, or who will serve Jimin food. Jimin laughed as they quarrelled like kids. With that he forgot about the pain he felt before. It was fun to be with the six of them. They always makes him happy.

Jimin's thought went back to yesterday, they proposed him, they asked him to be their boyfriend. But Jimin wasn't ready. He know they will make him happy, they will love him, they will take care of him. But that's not the matter. The only romantic relationship he ever had was a disaster. And the experience had left him traumatic. He never want something like that to happen.

It's not like he don't have any feelings for them. Honestly, he likes them, more than friends.

But, being friends is better for now. According to his experience, friends will never break your heart. They will be your side, always, like Sungwoon. He had been with Jimin forever. Always stay by his side, even in his bad times. Until Jimin himself left him. But still he came back, to find Jimin.

Namjoon had told him, how Sungwoon joined BTS only to checkup on him. It made Jimin tear up at the older's concern. How can someone be this much good to their friend, to Jimin.

Jimin remembered when Sungwoon had proposed him, to be his boyfriend. But he refused.he never felt that kind of feelings for Sungwoon. He had been always like his brother. Maybe he loves the older more than anything in the world, but in a brotherly way. An older brother, who had been with him, everytime he needed. He can't change his feelings. And he won't lose their friendship with a romance less relationship.

But with his six neighbors, he have that feelings for them. He wants to be with them, love them, be loved by them. But he can't, he is not ready.

Another reason he is hesitant to be their boyfriend is that, he don't want to burden them. He is mute, and had been mentally disturbed, and had panic attacks sometimes. He is afraid of everything, flinched at small sounds, and he is coward and pathetic. He don't want them to ruin their life, being with him. They are happy and perfect with each other, he don't want snatch that away from them. Also he is worried that they will grew tired of him one day. And he is not in a condition to suffer another heartbreak.

"-MIN." His thoughts broke with Jungkook calling him.

Jungkook looked at the smaller who had been playing with his food, for sometime. His gaze was fixated on the wall, as he zoned out.

Jungkook was worried. But his concern increased when he saw the tears coming out of Jimin's eyes. Jimin didn't even wipe them away, as if he didn't realize the warm liquid sliding down his cheeks. Jungkook glanced at Jin, who was also looking worried for the smaller.

"Jimin." Jin called. But he didn't seem to heard them, still staring at the imaginary point on the wall.

"Jiminie." Jungkook tried, but still no reaction. "JIMIN." He raised his voice a little. Jimin flinched at the sound, and he regretted raising his voice. The smaller looked at them confused.

"You are crying." Jin stated, which Jimin looked at them dumbfounded. He wiped his tears away, without looking up at them.

"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked. He know it's a dumb question. He can see Jimin is not okay. But as an introvert, it's hard to comfort someone. He don't know what to do around a crying person.

Jimin nodded to his question, which made Jungkook frown. Obviously he is not okay. Anyone can see he is in a battle inside his head.

"No, you are not. Do you want to share it?" Jin looks at the man in front of them. But Jimin just shook his head. "It's okay, if you don't want to. But always remember, we are here whenever you want, you can share anything, to any of us, okay?" Jimin nodded his head wiping his tears.

"So to lift up your mood, let me tell you a joke." Jin said with a mischievous smile on his face. Jungkook groaned, knowing the elder's intention.

"You all are in a bubble." Jin paused, then continued. "Unbeliebubble."

It was silent for a second then the older's windshield wiper laugh echoed through the dining room. Jungkook rolled his eyes at his hyung's silly behavior, but smiled nonetheless.

Jin's laughter turned in to a fond smile, when he stared towards Jimin, who were laughing, uncontrollably at the joke. Jungkook found it mesmerizing the way Jimin's eyes turned in to small crescents, and the way he covered his mouth while laughing. He was ethereal. He couldn't take his eyes off the younger. And he was glad that Jin's dad joke lift up Jimin's mood.

After breakfast, Jin suggested a movie marathon, which the other two nodded enthusiastically. Jungkook guided Jimin to the couch as Jin brought snacks for them to enjoy.

Jungkook and Jin sat on either side of the youngest, and they started watching the movie. Occasionally Jungkook glanced at Jimin, to find his adorable expression to the movie scenes. Jimin looks like a baby watching cartoon, he munched on the snacks making his lips form in to a pout. Jungkook wants to lean in and capture those pink cherry lips, which he had got a taste a long time ago. Even though it was just a peck, Jungkook had tasted the cherry burst on his lips. He wants to taste them again.

Jungkook shook his head and turning his attention to the movie. It's not appropriate to think like that, when Jimin hadn't accepted their proposal. He can't think like that about someone, who aren't his boyfriend. Even if he loves Jimin, it's wrong. Jimin is suffering, and he is having these kind of thoughts for him. Jungkook bite on his lips, feeling guilty at his thoughts. But he really wish, for Jimin to be their boyfriend.
