A battle arouses inside Jungkook as the hours pass by.

Should I come to him first?

Jungkook has always admired and loved Jimin, he was his hero. The intense feelings that overtook him yesterday subside widely, but the strong instinct of protecting Tiger from the false accusations remains strong.

Jimin's words still echo bitterly in Jungkook's mind.

Seokjin comes into the kitchen complaining about the group of men Jungkook and Hoseok faced days ago, saving Jungkook from his own thoughts going in cycles.

Seokjin pours water into a glass and gulps it all down.

"You shouldn't overwork yourself, angel."

The nickname rolls out of his tongue and it takes him a few moments to realise it.

Jungkook takes a quick glance at Seokjin, then stares at the meat again, changing the positions to cook them evenly on both sides.

Seokjin massages his temples. "Yoongi tracked them down, we're going to finish our business with those freaks tomorrow."

"Finish our business means you're planning on killing them, right?"

Seokjin nods. "And their allies. We can't get exposed to the outside world."

Jungkook hums, remembering their motto.  "No one who messes with the Bangtan Boys comes out alive. Let me come, they've already seen me."

"I thought about going with Yoongi—"

"No." Jungkook holds the last slice of meat and puts it with the others in the metal tray. "You deserve to rest. I'll go, they've already seen my face."

Taehyung sits on one of the stools. The air flew towards his room and his mouth watered at the scent of the grilled meat.

"Jungkookie, who saw your face?"

"The freaks." Seokjin answers for him. "Thanks for making the dinner today, Kooks. I'm going to call the others, don't start without us."

Taehyung helps Jungkook set the island kitchen.

"What were you talking about?"

"Jin and Yoongi tracked down the men I met with Hobi. We'll catch them tomorrow and finish our business."

"Can I come with you?"

Jungkook places two slices of meat on Taehyung's plate. "Are you sure?"

Taehyung nods. "Let Hoseokie rest, I'll come with you. Tiger will also be there."

Jungkook's eyes shine at the mention of his boyfriend. "Hey, you said you would let Tiger take over today. Did you forget?"

Taehyung sticks his tongue as an answer to Jungkook's teasing grin.

"Later. Let me enjoy the meat."

Jungkook ruffles Taehyung's hair. "Can you serve the rice for me?"

Taehyung accepts.

Jungkook follows Seokjin to the hallway. He didn't have a chance to explain himself nor what he saw in the kitchen—or what he thought he saw because nothing happened between them.

I wouldn't have let him kiss me again, but his stomach turns, a part of him acknowledging he wouldn't have pushed Namjoon away, just to see how far he would have taken it. As if I wanted to taste his lips again.
