An hour or so had passed, and Jungkook and Jimin were still outside. It was dark out by now. The others were likely already asleep, if not about to go to sleep, but they were still outside, sitting together on a bench. Jungkook stopped crying and ended up falling asleep on Jimin's shoulder right after. Jimin felt tired, but he stayed wide awake. He felt horrible for going through Jungkook's private diary. He just wanted to help, but he felt like he ended up making things worse. All of JK's trust in him was most likely gone forever, and their friendship would never be the same, he knew it. He let out a sigh of guilt and continued staring into the distance, thinking about everything he found out earlier. He never Jungkook felt that way about Taehyung. That wasn't even a thought in his head. His guess was that he liked Lisa, considering how jealous he acted whenever the date was mentioned, but now that he knew....oh god this was awful. He felt terrible for JK and he honestly didn't know what to do in this situation, but he knew he had to do something. He wasn't going to tell Taehyung, HELL no. He already lost enough of JK's trust for one day, that would just make things worse than they already were. He was so lost on what to do for him, and that worried him. 

Jimin wanted to go inside, it was freezing outside, due to there being no sunlight. Jimin picked up the sleeping Jungkook and carried him over his shoulder and began walking towards the house. When he got inside, he saw that the others were asleep in their rooms, except for Tae. Shit...he's gonna ask questions. Jimin picked up the pace and walked a little faster. Tae seemed to be so deep in thought that he didn't see or hear them, thank god. Jimin placed the sleeping Maknae in his bed nicely before heading off to his room. He closed both of their doors, in case Tae finally decided to go to bed and saw they were back.

[Taehyung]

Tae got so lost in thought that he lost track of time. He felt as if he finally knew the reason as to why Jungkook was so down lately, but little did he know he was far mistaken. 

He began violently yawning nonstop. When he checked the time, he saw that it was almost midnight. He finally decided to head to his room for bed. Sitting there all night was going to do nothing beneficial. He began walking towards his room for bed. When he got to where Jungkook's room was, he stopped, slowly turned the knob and went in. He didn't know whether or not he was back, but he decided to check. Sure enough, when he checked, Jungkook was in his bed, fast asleep with tear stains on his face. Taehyung closed the door behind him, stared at Jungkook for a second, and then got into his bed with him. He put his arm around his waist and fell fast asleep.

[Sunrise]

Jungkook's eyes fluttered open. He didn't remember falling asleep. Everything was a blur in his mind from the night before. When he finally came to his senses, he saw that he was in his room, in his bed. He never remembered coming back to his room, he just remembered being outside, crying. Oh how he wish he hadn't have woken up. He laid there with his eyes open and stared at his closed door. When he snapped out of his trance, he felt a strange pressure on his waist. Curious, he slowly slid his hand down to his waist and jumped when he felt a hand there. He let out a small gasp and quickly brought his hand back up to his face. What the hell? Am I dreaming still? He thought to himself. Still terrified from feeling that hand, he slowly rolled over to see who the hand belonged to. It took him about a solid 30 seconds to fully roll over, breathing heavily while doing so. He found himself face to face with a sleeping Taehyung. He gasped, loud this time, and practically fell out of the bed. 

"What the HELL?" JK barely whispered to himself once he fell out of the bed. Why was Taehyung here? What happened last night that I can't seem to remember? He didn't know, all he knew was that he needed to leave before Tae woke up. If he stayed in the bed, as much as he wanted to, a lot of explaining would have to be done which was something he absolutely didn't want to do. He quietly left the room, closing it behind him so the others didn't see when they passed by and ask why he was in there. He put his back against the door and let out a sigh before going towards the kitchen. Turns out the others were already awake and in there. 

"Hey Jungkook, I assume you slept well? It's almost noon." Hoseok said, laughing and doing a little dance a little afterwards. Where did this boy get all his energy from? 

"Ah sorry haha. Did I miss anything important?" Jungkook said, acting like everything was normal, even though he literally just found Taehyung in his bed. 

"Nah not really. We've just been eating." Jin replied, proceeding to shove more food in his mouth. 

At that moment, Jimin pulled Jungkook aside. They went into the gathering space, away from the kitchen and had a quick chat. 

"Listen, just to clear up any confusion, let me just say that the others are concerned beyond belief and asked about you, but I told them to act like everything was normal. I didn't tell them anything that happened, I just told them to shut up with all the questions. And I wanted to say for about the millionth time that I'm from the very bottom of my heart sorry that I ever went through your stuff. It's clear you wanted that private and I'm sorry. I'm just sorry about your whole situation in general. I never thought in a million years that you would ever like Tae in that-" Jungkook stopped Jimin. It was clear how sorry he was, and he was thankful for the apology, but he didn't need him repeating how he felt. They both knew, there was no need to be verbal about it.

"I was pissed off and hurt yesterday, I will admit. But what happened happened, so it's whatever I guess." JK said, not easy to forgive Jimin. He forgave him, but he didn't at the same time. He never expected Jimin to betray his trust like that and snoop. 

"Have you been able to steer clear of Tae?" Jimin asked JK. The maknae debated whether or not to tell him about how Taehyung was in his bed. He wasn't going to, but he decided to tell him otherwise. 

"Um...no. I don't remember ending up in my room, but when I woke up I was in my bed and....Taehyung was there too. He...had his....arm around my waist." JK said, looking down in embarrassment.

Jimin stared at him dumbfounded, appearing to be just as confused as Jungkook himself was. "Wait...WHAT??" He replied, squinting his eyes in confusion. 

"I don't know. I don't even remember going back to my room last night." JK replied.

"Last night we went and sat on a bench. You fell asleep on my shoulder, and it was getting cold, so I carried you inside and brought you to your room. Taehyung wasn't in there when I put you in there. Afterwards, once you were in your bed, I closed the door and when I went in my room he was still sitting in the gathering space. The only reason why he'd be in there that I can think of is that he went in there after I already went to sleep." Jimin said, scratching his chin in confusion.

Jungkook stared with his mouth wide open and furrowed his brows. Taehyung...went into his room...so he could sleep with him? But why?
