Third Person's POV

"Come in already."

Yoongi followed the raven-haired boy into the wooden house and was surprised at how big and spacious it was. The insides of the house looked like a mansion, nothing like a wooden shack should hold. Straight ahead was a hallway, which led to at least 3 more rooms, and the living room itself was bigger than Yoongi's apartment.

Yoongi was still wondering how the mechanisms of this house works when he saw Jin sitting on a huge leather couch playing games on a 70" flat screen TV.

"Jin?" Yoongi said. Jin turned his head without even pausing the game at his friends familiar voice.

"Yoongi?! Why are you here?" Jin threw his console onto the couch and raven-haired boy immediately ran over to check if it's damaged.

"I'm here to look for a cure...Did you get poisoned too?" Jin made his way to Yoongi who was still near the entrance, and pulled him into a hug as a celebration of their reunion.

"Ye...Yea..." They let go of each other and before Yoongi could say anything Jin clasped his hands together and begged, "Please don't tell Namjoon! He's going to find me and everything will get too complicated!"

"Wait...Namjoon don't know about this? So he probably thinks that you are missing right now?" Jin just nodded and Yoongi sighed and shook his head. "Please just don't contact him about this. I'm going to explain everything to him once I am healed."

Yoongi wanted to protest, but he noticed that Jin was clenching his fists and was sweating really hard. "Shit...I'm sorry I brought Namjoon up..." Before Yoongi could do anything the raven-haired boy came back and interrupted.

"Sorry for interrupting your bromance but do you want my help or not? You are getting kicked out if you are just going to mess around." The boy walked over to the dining table and sat down, waiting for the other two to follow.

Yoongi gritted his teeth, annoyed at the boy's attitude, but held his anger in and helped Jin over to the table. Once they sat down, the boy started talking immediately.

"I'm only going to say this once so listen carefully. And don't bother to interrupt me with questions, I'm just going to keep talking and you are just going to miss important information." The boy paused for a while and Yoongi thought that he was supposed to reply but once he opened his mouth to say 'ok' the boy started again, making Yoongi roll his eyes in frustration.

"There are two ways to cure the poison, one takes less time but more painful. The other takes longer but it's harder and it's less painful than the first one. Well less painful if you do it correctly. The first one is going to be really painful so I don't think you would do it. I will explain the other one.

In order for the poison to lose its effects, you will have to restrain it from affecting you for a whole month, or 30 days. So basically you have to go one month without thinking about your lover. If you fail anytime during that month the timer resets. Oh and the later in the month you fail, the more pain you will feel. If you fail on the 29th day, the last day, the pain is enough to kill you. On the very last day of the month, you will have to kiss someone else other than you lover to get rid of the poison completely."

After the explanation both Yoongi and Jin almost choked at how ridiculous the cure is. However, they also started to worry about the problems that this cure brought them.

Yoongi was already heartbroken that he has to forget about Jimin for 30 days, but he was even more furious when he figured that he had to kiss someone else to cure himself.

Jin, on the other hand, was worried that Namjoon would call the police just to find him during this month. He can only hope that Jimin would be able to conceal his secret from Namjoon for 30 days.

The two are lost in thought and was only woken up by the sound of fingers snapping.

"Hey you two. Don't you have any questions?" The boy said, annoyed.

"Yea. What's the other cure?" Jin asked, hoping that the other cure would take less time.

"I told you it's too painful and I don't think you would be able to endure it." The boy sighed but went on. "You have to eat the petals of the flowers. What the petals do is that each petal stops the effect of the poison for about an hour, so if you want it to get rid of the poison completely you have to eat 5 of those flowers in one go. But these flowers are not tasty at all. It's texture is rough and it scrapes your gums and tongue when you chew it, and once it gets into your stomach it gives you a terrible stomach-ache. And I mean it. The pain last for 10 minutes with each petal you consume and I bet you wouldn't be able to breath properly when you have that stomach-ache."

All hopes were lost for Yoongi and Jin when they heard the bad news. Eating a flower seems weird enough, and if it's going to cause even more pain then why bother doing it?

"Um..." Yoongi had another question. "Will we stay here during the month?"

"Yes. I will keep your phones so you won't be able to communicate with your lovers. Staying here will be easier for you, and I will help you forget about your lovers if you are struggling."

Yoongi and Jin let out a sigh of relief, and were glad that this boy was nice enough to let them stay.

Suddenly the boy sat in front of them stood up and sighed heavily.

"Do you guys want to know my name?" This simple question was enough to surprise Yoongi and Jin. They were staring at the boy and it took a good while for them to process what they were just asked.

"Yea of course!" Jin said. The boy sighed again and sat down, as if he already regretted asking the question.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone. Or I promise that I will find you and end your life." The boy stared straight into Yoongi and Jin's eyes with a solemn face. Yoongi and Jin felt goose bumps slowly forming on their arms, and they shivered slightly at the heavy and serious atmosphere.

Both of them nodded, way too nervous to talk.

"I'm Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook. Don't you dare give me nicknames, I'm Jungkook so call me Jungkook." He finally blinked and stopped staring at Yoongi and Jin.

Once his name is revealed Yoongi remembered what the Hoseok told him the other day.

"And if I heard correctly the family that they were talking about is a Jeon family. They will definitely know about the cure."

Everything went clearer for Yoongi immediately. At least he could be confident that everything the boy said was true and that both he and Jin can trust Jungkook to help them.

"Ok! Well you are staying with me for 30 days starting from now on so we should get comfortable with each other. You must be hungry, I will make lunch for you guys." Jungkook's attitude turned upside down and he didn't seem so bad like this.

"I will help." Jin smiled and stood up too.
