Meanwhile...
Outside Ria's room, Jimin and Jungkook stood in the hallway, exchanging uneasy glances.
The tension from earlier had melted into something different now-something almost humorous.
Jungkook had seen the fire in Taehyung's eyes, the fury that had taken over when he stormed into the house and dragged Ria away.
But now, the silence behind the closed door was more telling than the anger.
Jungkook paced outside Ria's bedroom door, his eyebrows furrowed in concern as he threw a glance toward Jimin.
"Hyung, are you sure this is a good idea? Tae looked like he was about to tear the place down a minute ago."
Jimin, leaning casually against the wall with a smug smile playing on his lips, shrugged.
"He wasn't mad, Kookie. He was jealous. Trust me, there's a difference."
Jungkook shot him a disbelieving look, his voice barely a whisper.
"Jealous? He looked like he was ready to punch me in the face for even being in the same room as Ria. You did see how he dragged her out of the pool, right?"
Jimin chuckled, clearly enjoying the whole situation.
"Oh, I saw. That's the thing about Tae. As far as i've observed When he's jealous, he turns into a whole different person. But it's kinda sweet, isn't it? The way he gets so possessive when it comes to her."
Jungkook groaned, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Sweet? Hyung, he looked like he was about to throw me in the pool! And now they've been in there for... what? An hour? I mean, what if she's mad at him, and they're... I don't know, fighting? We should at least check on them."
Jimin's smirk deepened as he crossed his arms.
"Trust me, they're not fighting. They're definitely not fighting."
Jungkook's eyes widened as realization dawned, his face flushing red.
"Wait, you don't mean-"
Jimin cut him off with a teasing grin, "Oh, I mean exactly that. That's why I said jealous, not mad. And let's just say, they're... resolving it in a very physical way."
Jungkook stared at him in disbelief, his voice a mix of horror and amusement.
"Hyung! Why are you so calm about this? We're just standing out here like... like..."
"Like idiots," Jimin finished for him, laughing softly. "But that's what makes it fun, right?"
Jungkook groaned again, glancing at the door. "So, what do we do? Knock? Leave? Pretend we didn't hear anything?"
Jimin straightened up, tapping his chin thoughtfully.
"Well, if we knock, Tae will probably throw something at us. Or, worse, Ria will. And if we leave, we'll never know what happened. So, really, there's no winning here."
