"Hyung," Jungkook said in a breathy, shivering voice, "calm down. What did Jimin do?" Yoongi stayed silent and raised a hand to a painting on the wall behind him. "Hyung, you paid money for that!" Taehyung shouted as it got lifted off the wall, gasping when it was suddenly sent flying in the air.

"Everyone, duck!" He screamed as he protected Jimin from behind, the painting landing right in face. Jimin gasped and turned right around, finding Taehyung having fallen on the ground, already switching forms. Jungkook seemed to have noticed this too, because he raised his voice and nudged Yoongi's mother. "So sorry, but you have to leave," he apologized half-heartedly, "we'll come back soon after we deal with this."

Yoongi's family, honestly being frightened by Yoongi, rushed out the front door before a cabinet was being sent down the stairs, about to hit Jungkook in the face. He raised his hands in defense, breath hitching as he felt it on his palms, but the feeling stayed there. He peeled his right eye open to find five clawed fingers digging into the cabinet, holding it up, paired with a familiar low growl next to him.

"Jimin..." Jungkook whimpered as Jimin slowly set the cabinet down. Jimin's transformation was quick, so quick that Jungkook didn't even see his ears and tail grow before Jimin put down the cabinet, adorning his wolf ears and tail like accessories. His eyes were burning with anger, glowing yellow, and his teeth were sharp and bared ferociously.

Jungkook was expecting Jimin to pounce at Yoongi's next attack, but he instead froze and fell to the floor. "What's wrong, Hyung?!" Jimin cried in his slightly gravely voice as he pressed his back against the table, ears flat against his head and tail snaking around his waist, "You like Hobi-hyung, don't you?!"

Jimin's and Taehyung's hearing devices had fallen off ages ago, so Jimin couldn't hear Yoongi's reply of, "But it's impossible! I'm dead, I can't love a living person!" It wasn't until Yoongi was sending another item (a clock) flying at them that Jimin fully switched forms howling as he pounced at Yoongi, only ending up running into the wall repeatedly in bad attempts to find him.

Jungkook snapped his fingers in realization as he kneeled down beside Taehyung. "Tae," he said, "do you have the vessel right now?" Taehyung nodded and reached into his back pocket, pulling out the pocket watch. Jungkook smirked and took the watch, getting up and walking over to Yoongi.

"Jimin, get out of the way," he commanded, Jimin growling at him menacingly. "I said get out of the way!" He raised his voice, making Jimin run back to Taehyung. Jungkook wasted no time in opening the watch and holding it out right in front of Yoongi's face. "Hyung, you're going in," he said as he gripped Yoongi's wrist and pressed it against the face of the watch, watching as Yoongi got sucked in against his will. He instantly closed the watch, in fear of him escaping, and returned to the other two.

"You guys are good right?" He asked as he pulled out his phone, "Tae, what's your mom's number? We need her to get us back." Taehyung took Jungkook's phone and entered her number as Jimin pawed at the pocket-watch in Jungkook's hands. "Yeah, Yoongi-hyung's fine," Jungkook assured as he kept the watch before looking back at Jimin wide-eyed, "wait, you're acting normal?"

Taehyung hissed and Jungkook took the phone back. "Hello?" He said into the phone, "Hi, um, an accident happened here and, uh, we need you to get us back with the car." He tugged Taehyung's shirt collar to make him look up at him and pointed at Jimin, mouthing out, "What about him?"

Taehyung nodded his head and hugged Jimin. "Oh, can you also ask Yoongi-hyung's family to enter the house from the back if they want to come in? And don't come in the dining area." He hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket before heading over to the cabinet, ruined with claw marks. He heaved it up and carefully made his way back up the stairs to put it back. Taehyung hastily got up to help him before he received a shake of the head from Jungkook. "You guys rest, I can take care of this," he said as he hurried down the stairs again and picked up the painting. The frame was a little dented, but hopefully they wouldn't notice.

The clock was in ruins, however. The glass had shattered and was scattered across the floor. Jungkook was looking for a broom to sweep up the mess before he felt a vibration in his pocket followed by the screech of halting tires outside. "She's here," Jungkook huffed as he helped Taehyung up, "You two stay here, I'll make sure the coast is clear before you head there."

When Jungkook stepped outside, he was greeted by Holly's small barks and Taehyung's mother, a badly-hidden frown hidden underneath her fake smile. "What has he gotten himself into now?" She sighed. "Well, it's not really his fault as much as it was... Yoongi-hyung's fault..." Jungkook muttered, gulping as he knew Yoongi was going to go crazy later once he gets released from his vessel, "Oh, also, Jimin got involved too."

"Just—" she sighed, "just get them in the car. His brothers can't take care of themselves." Jungkook rushed back inside to get the other two, all three of them dashing to the car afterwards, running as fast as they could to make sure nobody around saw them.

Taehyung was right, Jungkook thought at least. His mother wasn't the least surprised when Jimin jumped into the rear seat, as if it was an everyday thing to have wolves come rushing into your car. "You three are going back there this evening and apologizing, alright?" She sighed as she moved the car, "And Taehyung, for the rest of the month, you're not using your new laptop." Taehyung let out a mix of a whine and a hiss, making his mother groan in frustration.

Jimin couldn't help but notice the way Jungkook couldn't stop observing how well Taehyung's mother was handling Jimin. He nudged Jungkook, making him turn to look at him. He pointed at Taehyung's mother with a tilt of his head. Jungkook felt a red blush spread across his face, as he shifted away a little from him.

"Dude," Yoongi sighed, his voice being heard only by Jungkook, "Tae's been having Jimin over for Summers for nearly 10 years. Multiply that by 2 full moons each year, that's 20 times she's seen Jimin like this. Not to mention, Taehyung probably told her about it ages ago." Jungkook sighed, disappointment in Taehyung's life decisions showing in his frown. Jimin looked up at him and nuzzled against his lap, making him chuckle and lean back with a small smile.

As soon as they got back, they locked themselves in Taehyung's room, just to make sure that Taehyung's brothers don't burst in on them. Jungkook sat down on Taehyung's bed, where he pulled out Yoongi's vessel. "Hyung," he said, "you good?"

"No," Yoongi replied, "why're you even asking?" Jungkook frowned when he spotted Yoongi curled up through the reflection on the glass of the watch, hugging his legs and face buried in his knees. "Because I'm worried," he said, "we're all worried."

Yoongi didn't reply this time. Jungkook looked up at Jimin, who was curled up on the floor, seemingly dozing off. "What was he thinking about that triggered you?" He asked, "Is it about your family? About your, uh, death?"

"Hoseok," Yoongi answered, "it's Hoseok." Jungkook smiled softly as he pulled out his phone. "Wanna chat with him?" He asked, opening the messaging app. Yoongi's mind returned to the previous day, when Hoseok left Jimin a message for him. What was it that Hoseok wanted to talk about? Should he ask Hoseok about it? No, he was too scared to do it now. But do his feelings really matter right now? What if Hoseok really needed him right now? What if there was a life or death situation happening on the other side and they were all oblivious to it? But then again, Hoseok could just want to chat with him.

"Nah, it's fine," Yoongi finally answered. Jungkook looked around and eyed an already sleeping Jimin and barely noticed Taehyung crawl into bed next to him, fast asleep too. "You wanna come out now?" Jungkook asked. Yoongi shook his head and looked away from Jungkook. "I'll stay here," he said, "I don't wanna come out just yet." Jungkook shrugged with an assuring grin. "Suit yourself," he said as he waved a goodbye, shutting the watch and placing it back in his pocket.
