Jungkook leaves the kitchen after placing all the plates in the dishwasher and Namjoon follows him. He bites his tongue to prevent calling his name when the tattooed boy steps into the bathroom.

Jungkook comes out five minutes later.

"Jungkook! I've been wanting to talk to you the whole day, but I couldn't reach you."

"If you can't reach me, stop trying." Jungkook growls under his breath.

"Hold on, what do you mean?"

Jungkook heads to his room, but Namjoon runs and stands between him and the door.

"Are you mad?" he hesitantly points out.

Jungkook tightens his lips, arms crossed. "What do you think?"

Namjoon lowers his head, fidgeting with his fingers. "I just wanted to be honest with them. Is it wrong that I like you?"

Jungkook lets out a heavy exhale, rubbing his forehead. "No. Liking me isn't the problem. Telling them is. How would you feel if you found out your partner has kissed a close friend?"

It takes the silver haired a few moments to reply. "I. . . I don't know. I've never thought of it, not that I remember."

"Are you at least aware of what your words caused today? The way you could have hurt them—the way you hurt them?"

Namjoon shakes his head, tears welling up in his dragon eyes, now resembling more to a puppy's.

"Don't talk to me until you do. Until you come back to your senses or actually feel sorry for what you said. When you regret saying what I begged you to keep a secret, come and let me know."

Jungkook storms down the hallway and enters another room. Namjoon recognises it, it belongs to Taehyung.

"Tiger. I need to talk to Tiger. Where's Tiger?"

"Bunny, what's wrong? What happened?" Tiger rushes to him, throwing the pack of biscuits to a side.

"Uh—baby that was fast."

Tiger grins. "See? I'm learning to take over just for you. I told you I can always feel your presence. But now, what happened? Are you okay?"

Jungkook nods. "You won't believe it."

Jungkook takes his hand and leads him to the bed. He steals one biscuit and offers one to Tiger, but he shakes his head.

He puts the box on the nightstand and intertwines his fingers.

"Do you remember Namjoon's brainwashed, right?"

"Yeah, how could I forget? It creeps the hell out of me."

He closes his eyes and blurts out, "Yesterday night he kissed me."

"What the hell! He did what?!"

Jungkook's heart jumps on his chest. "Baby, I didn't -"

Tiger bellows with laughter, falling on his back. Jungkook furrows his eyebrows, observing him. Is he not mad?

Finally, Tiger's laugh fades. "Bunny, what the hell! Mr. Serious did what?! Hell, he doesn't lose his time."

"You don't mind? Are you not jealous?"

Tiger crosses his legs and holds Jungkook's hand again, raising an eyebrow. "Why would I?"

"He kissed me."

"And?"

Jungkook blinks with his mouth slightly open. "I'm your boyfriend. We're dating. Usually couples don't kiss other people, you know? Another person would be pissed right now."
