Namjoon knocks on the bathroom door, whoever took a shower thirty minutes ago decided he would take the same time drying his hair.

Jungkook opens the door, ruffling his wet hair with a white towel.

"Uh, excuse me." Namjoon frowns, tilting his head. "Is - is Taehyung drying his hair?"

Jungkook plays with the piercing in his lower lip. "Yeah, do you need the bathroom?"

"Yes. I've been waiting for a while, I didn't want to disrupt." Namjoon scratches his head, his gaze lowering towards Jungkook's exposed collarbones.

Jungkook hits him playfully with the wet towel and licks his lips.

"Bunny, who is it?" Tiger questions, turning off the device.

"Joon, he needs to get in. We should go."

Tiger stands proudly behind Jungkook, his piercing eyes uncloaking Namjoon's soul and a shiver runs down the silver's head veins.

Namjoon blinks it off. "Did - did you two take a shower together?"

Jungkook and Tiger break into a loud roar of laughter.

"Joon, of course we didn't! What are you thinking? Please, as if."

Tiger shakes his head, still laughing. "Namjoon, they actually fried your brain. Don't see things where there aren't. I'm warning you. No need to mess things up."

The couple leaves a dumbfounded Namjoon.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

"Mini, can we talk?" Namjoon fidgets with his fingers, keeping his head low.

Jimin rushes to him at the speed of light, his phone forgotten intertwined around the bed sheets. "Moni—what happened?"

Namjoon raises his head and Jimin sighs in relief when his eyes don't shine with a glimpse of pain, but he has a notorious frown on his face.

"Something weird happened," he shrugs, "I. . . I just need answers."

Jimin cups his cheeks and pecks his lips. Usually, he would run to Namjoon for reassurance and comfort. When have the tables turned?

They cuddle on the bed, Namjoon resting his cheek on Jimin's chest. The latter encourages Namjoon to take all the time he needs to speak.

"Something happened between Jungkook and Taehyung today. . . And Taehyung's acting weird."

Jimin lowers his head. "As if he wasn't himself? Did he say something?"

"I don't understand. Does he have mood swings?"

"Oh, Moni, it's worse than that."

Namjoon raises his head but Jimin dismisses the topic. "Taehyung will tell you everything."

"Taehyung and Jungkookie. . . This morning they hugged in the kitchen, but when Kookie saw me he pushed him away. Taehyung wanted more of those biscuits. . . He acted off, as if he hated me. But he loves me, right?"

"Much more than just love you."

"Before I went to the bathroom and I found them together. It looked like they showered together, but they denied it. I don't understand. They laughed it off when I asked, but. . . I don't know, something seems off. You told me we aren't dating Jungkook, but something's going on between those two. Are they best friends?"

Jimin plays with Namjoon's hair, his teeth digging in his lower lip. Tiger.

"Jungkook and Taehyung have a special friendship, they hated each other when they first met. Don't worry, Moni. Tae Tae must have used the other bathroom and came to use the drier when Jungkook finished showering."

"But Yoongs and Hoseok spent hours in the other bathroom, he couldn't have used it."

"Maybe he joined them for a while." Jimin lies.

Tiger would never join them, and Yoongi and Hoseok would never let him in. Taehyung's his boyfriend, but that doesn't make Tiger part of their family nor their intimacy.

"Just give Taehyung some time, he'll explain his situation. Or maybe you remember everything before he takes his chance to talk to you."

"Everything's alright, then? Their behaviour is normal? Taehyung doesn't actually hate me?"

Jimin hums, patting Namjoon's head.

Namjoon will talk with Tae, I'll talk with Kookie. Jungkook would never go out with Tiger, he would've told us. He would've told me. No, no, no—he would never date Tiger, how can someone date a mere alter? He's not even a human. Jungkook and Tiger don't make sense. Impossible.
