Jungkook sat straight up in his bed. Was it just a nightmare?
He looked over to his hyungs, who both must've did some moving in their sleep. Jimin had moved his leg on top of Tae's stomach.
Taehyung was being suffocated, since his chest rose up and down rapidly.
Although Jungkook had an internal thought saying should he go wake up his friends...
Or something else.
He chose helping Tae breathe better, because only one person is allowed to forget how to breath.
By carefully tiptoeing through the mass of blankets Jimin brought, the maknae managed to get to Tae.
As he was about to attempt to pick up Jimin's leg, the mochi chose this moment to move once again.
This time flipping himself, and in the process knocking down Jungkook and right on top of Taehyung.
He felt quite sure he had never blushed more in his entire life. Tae groaned and fluttered his eyes open.
What a excellent way to wake up. Jungkook played mannequin and did not move a muscle as Taehyung slowly turned into a sitting position.
"Huh...?"
He stared into his eyes.
"What are you doing on top of me in the middle of the night?"
So much for him not noticing. Jungkook's mind races to come up with an excuse. Anything in this situation would do, because although he couldn't see it, the maknae was sure he had a full-blown blush spreading across his face.
As he was about to say something, Jimin did a cross between a flip and a body roll and mumbled, "Stop..eating..my jams-" and then passed out.
The two just stared at each other and laughed quietly. They just stared at each other until Tae said, "Wanna cuddle?"
Jungkook nodded happily and settled next to Taehyung's chest.
He had never slept more comfortably.
They dozed the night off without anymore Jamless Jimin references from their dear friend the mochi.
[Later]
"Sooo...does this mean I can start shipping them?"
"Hey! I call dibs on being ship captain!"
"Jimin, how did this even happen?"
"And they say I'm gay."
"Shh, they're waking up!"
Jungkook stirred awake, stopping to yawn cutely, before sitting up. His vision must've been playing tricks on him, for all he saw was blurry figures that looked like carrots and...
Jimin?
Beside him, Tae bolted upward. His blizzard of hair was ruffled in all sorts of directions, making him look kinda childish.
"Hey guys- he yawned- what are you doing here?"
Namjoon tried to hide his laughter by doubling over and, well, laughing. "We just came by to see what was up with Kookie-
-And we arrive here to this!" Jin finished, turning red from laughing in the process.
Jungkook and Tae glanced at each other and blushed lightly.
The laughter stopped abruptly. "So," started Yoongi. "How is our maknae?"
"W-what do you mean?" He slowly began sliding his hands behind his back. Luckily no one noticed.
Except for Yoongi.
But instead of acknowledging the action, he explained, "Well, are the rumors true?"
Jungkook kept an innocent face. "What rumo- Wait, what?"
Hoseok sighed. He quietly said, "There's been an odd number of rumors circling between armies saying you've gone anorexic."
"No, it's nothing like that!" Jungkook looked at Taehyung and Jimin for moral support.
"He's just cut back on the snacks, that's all." Tae quickly said.
The members exhaled in somewhat careless relief. Jungkook doubted they actually cared, as they're only interested in the truth.
And what good is the truth be told to those who started "this" version of himself. The one who doesn't eat...
Who self-harms...
Who heard voices...
The one who is no longer a golden maknae, but a mere "loser" and "weakling".
Hey...
Jungkook gasped. Where did that come from? The voice sounded fuzzy and distant, like someone calling out to him.
"Hey, Kookie?"
He started sweating like crazy as his breathing sharpened.
Do you really believe they will help you get better?
Of course they can't. Taehyung and Jimin still don't comprehend the fact that most people who turn like, well, this, end up suiciding.
And now, that's all on his conscious.
Let's take a tour to the past, shall we?
Jungkook didn't have the strength to tell the others. His eyes just rolled back as he dropped to the floor with a thud.
