"Hey, what's going on? Why is this door locked?" A confused Taehyung asked while knocking on the door of Jungkook's locked door.

It's not usually locked in the middle of the day, in fact, it's not usually locked at all.

A series of banging, clanging, and "oh shit"'s followed Taehyung's question, leaving him perplexed. He stood and waited for a while, before Jungkook finally opened the door, while, Tae noticed, appearing a bit distraught and off.

"Hey, hyung, sorry I was finishing something up. What's up?" Jungkook asked in a frenzy.

"Um, I just came to ask if you were doing fine, because you were in your room with your door locked in the middle of the day and that never happens. We were about to start the Fake Love rehearsal and we didn't know where you were. If I were you I would get your butt in the practice room, you know how Joon gets when we're running behind." Taehyung replied, lightly hitting JK on the shoulder before turning to walk away.

Jungkook stared at Taehyung as he walked away. The touch on his shoulder was enough to send him into a spiral of emotions. He looked down at the ground and let out a huge sigh before quickly changing his shirt and checking to make sure his diary was hidden well out of reach from any of his older hyungs that constantly live to torture him. If they found it, he might just never leave his room ever again for the rest of his life. If Taehyung ever found it, he might as well just pack his bags and leave BTS and South Korea behind. Once Jungkook made sure his darkest secret was hidden, he headed over to the practice room all the while muttering, "stop being stupid" on the way there.

[At rehearsal]

"Where the hell is Jungkook? We need to get started on this rehearsal, we still have to run Anpanman and Airplane part 2 before 5, and it's already almost 4:30!" A stressed Namjoon asked whilst pacing back and forth around the room in an anxious haste.

"I just went to see where he was. He was in his room with the door locked for some reason, and when I knocked he acted all distraught and I heard a lot of banging, as if he was hiding something. It was weird." Taehyung told Namjoon, while standing in the corner of the room with one foot against the wall.

Jimin looked up at Tae and smirked a devilish smirk, as if he knew something Tae didn't.

"What?" Taehyung asked, confused as to why Jimin was smiling at him creepily.

"Nothing, you just said his door was locked and he acted like he was hiding something and my mind just went somewhere else haha." Jimin said before turning around and giggling into his hand.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I seriously wonder about you sometimes." An annoyed Yoongi said to the laughing Jimin.

"Oh come on, you know you love it." Jimin said to Yoongi, giving him a subtle wink before walking away.

Yoongi blushed and quickly looked away. No one can resist Jimin's adorable charm, not even Yoongi, the least amused of all of them.

After about five minutes, the youngest member entered the room, still distraught from earlier.

"Sorry guys," Jungkook quickly apologized and got into position. "I got a little caught up in my own world and I didn't realize the time. Let's just get started before more time is wasted."

"Jungkook are you-"

"Yes, I'm fine. I said I was sorry. Let's just go. Won't happen again." Jungkook interrupted Namjoon and prepared himself for the start of Fake Love.

"Alright, if you say so." Namjoon snapped his fingers, which was the cue to get into position and start the music.

[After rehearsal]

"Hoseok hyung, you look like you're dying, have some of my water." Jimin offered, with his usual charm that he constantly uses.

"Thanks, I don't know where my water went, but now is probably the worst time to have lost it because we just finished three songs in a row without a break." Hoseok replied, taking the water from Jimin and chugging it.

The others were grabbing their waters and making their way towards their rooms, where they were to relax until it was time for them to have dinner.

Jungkook was chugging his water silently in the corner, when he saw Taehyung approaching him from the mirror in front of him. He didn't know what Tae was going to say to him, so he just tensed up and kept drinking his water, expecting the worst, since that's what he was best at in these situations. To his surprise, Taehyung didn't say anything to him. His water just happened to be next to his. He took it silently and left the practice room, heading to his room at the far end of the hall.
