Believe In Me (J.J.K)

25: Mark 2:1-5

"A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven." - Mark 2:1-5

Since that night where Jungkook last saw Taemin in person, it was the last time things were ever the same again.

It's as though a piece of Jimin and Taehyung was lost after that event, and Jungkook didn't even realize it until they landed to Korea.

Taehyung was facing the withdrawals feverishly now. Before, he was more grounded and anchored on doing well, and better for himself. Now, he's impulsive, and easily tempered whenever Jungkook has stopped him various of times from going out to buy his past temptation, or to do other things within that desperation.

And it seems as though day by day, it's only getting worse.

Just like Jimin.

Now with Jimin, it wasn't obvious at first, but then he began to drink more wine than before, and he wouldn't stop until he was tipsy. Jungkook has also caught him listening to other types of music, specifically from Jungkook and Taehyung's album, and he would quickly switch it when he'd see Jungkook approaching him. How he talks about others isn't light and gentle before, but now it's cold and indifferent.

Those things weren't really warning bells for Jungkook, it is what it is, but it was when Jungkook saw a dating app notification on Jimin's phone while he was showering where Jungkook began to realize that Jimin has lost his mind.

It wasn't even for straight people, it was one of those gay apps like Grindr, specifically for hook ups.

Jungkook sats down with Jimin and asked him about it, and all Jimin said about it was that it was none of Jungkook's business and it's not like he has done anything either way, he was just curious and wanted to meet more people.

Well, what he made Jungkook believe.

Turns out, Jungkook's previous friend - Eunwoo - reached out to him about hanging out again, and during that time, Eunwoo managed to spill the details about how him and Jimin have hooked up recently.

Not once.

Not twice.

But five times.

Jungkook then asked him if it was developing into anything serious, and apparently Eunwoo said that Jimin was strongly against a solid relationship, to only keeping it casual.

Basically just for sex.

Now, Jungkook felt like he was the only one who has managed to keep his head together, and he's definitely clinging onto Woosung - his last and remaining hope at the moment from not doing stupid shit too because clearly, everyone else is doing it.

In the midst of this disaster, Taemin also released a music video of his latest album release with the songs 'Disturbia', and 'Bad Romance'.

The second it was released, once again did everyone sat down to watch it together - despite their own battles they're facing.

And two things came out of watching either one.

For Disturbia, Taemin is evidently pleading for help. Who knows how he managed to convince management to release that song, perhaps because he's still being displayed as psychotic in the music video, so everyone is far too focused on his body and visuals rather than the lyrics.
