The following day, Namjoon reunites all the boys in the living room because some of his questions remain unanswered.

He takes a deep breath. "First question. Where is my stuff?"

"The ones we keep hidden from you or the old ones?" Yoongi chews on his gum, unbothered.

"I wanted the things from old Joon—but now I want both. You shouldn't take what isn't yours."

Yoongi opens his mouth again but Seokjin interferes. "Your old things are in the storage room but we keep it locked, I'll give you the pin later. About your new things," he rubs his nose, "we can't give you your phone yet. But you can have your briefcase."

"But what if someone called? Perhaps they need me at work. And Dora must have gone to the police already."

Hoseok raises his eyebrows. "You didn't look worried about work these past few days. What happened?"

"You kidnapped me. And then I had to process everything you told me. Even if they brainwashed me, I had a life for these past three months."

"But Namjoonie can't go back. The Redish company belongs to Mimi, am I right Seokjinnie?" Taehyung plays with his hands, biting his lower lip. Namjoonie can't disappear again.

The latter hums. "Yeah, that's why we believe it's part of the plan. I don't think they wanted to achieve anything in particular, they probably wanted to keep you controlled."

"Controlled?"

"They had their eyes on you all the time. Those pieces of shit held you captive without you realising it."

"I don't think held captive is the best way to describe what they did to Joon, Yoongi." Jungkook corrects. "They just kept him in the dark, controlled like Jin said."

Yoongi rolls his eyes and rests his head on Hoseok's thigh. The redhead plays with his hair from the sofa.

"Do you have more questions?" Jimin lights up, ready to help.

"Yeah—why no one told me we aren't dating Jungkook?"

Jungkook turns pale.

"Ain't that obvious?" Yoongi makes a bubble and it pops.

"Well, not for me."

"Why do you ask? Didn't Hobi tell you? Do you like him? " Taehyung bombards him with questions, leaning on the edge of the sofa.

"Yeah, I like him. He's hot."

Jungkook's eyes widen, gasping. "Namjoon! What on earth?!"

"Ah—he told me not to tell you anything. But if we're in a relationship that I don't remember, the least I can do is letting you know that I think Jungkook's hot."

Hoseok laughs and raises a hand to high five Namjoon. "I've been saying he's hot from the very first day. I couldn't be the only who thinks it."

"Oh, so have you kissed him as well?"

"You—you did what?!" Jimin gasps. "You two kissed?!"

"No! Namjoon, what's wrong with you?!"

Namjoon nods and his dimples show, remembering last night. "But he told me if he had to date any of you, he would date someone else first."

"What?! I never said that! What on earth?!" Jungkook blinks fast, his eyes fixed on Namjoon.

"Well, not like that. But that was the point."

Jungkook loses his balance and almost collides with Taehyung, but the bear boy prevents it by gently pushing him back to his place with a hand.

The veins in Jungkook's neck swell. "No! No, it wasn't! Don't put words in my mouth!"
