  Jungkook groaned as he slowly stirred himself awake.

  As he cracked an eye open, the surroundings became all two familiar as he recognized his own bedroom. He scanned the nearly empty room slowly with clouded eyes, before they caught onto a figure walking in.

It was Jimin. He held a cold washcloth in his hand, he was going to use it to replace the one on the younger's forehead.

"Oh. " he halted in front of Jungkooks bed, now noticing the other finally had his eyes open. "You're awake. "

Jungkook raised an eyebrow as he stared at the other in confusion.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked, his voice raspy as he spoke.

"You fainted." Said the smaller, his voice was small as he spoke. He started to fiddle with the cold washcloth he held in his hand, keeping his head lowered.

"I wasn't going to leave you passed out outside, that would be...inhuman."

Jungkook nearly scoffed, sitting up now, taking off the washcloth from his forehead.

"Like you'd know." The younger scoffed as he then swung his legs off from the side of the bed and slowly stood up.

"You should leave." Jungkook started, "Go back to the hyungs or something—"

Yet before he could even finish his sentence, all the energy drained out of him causing him to stumble. Jimin was right there in an instant, taking hold of Jungkook and steadying him.

Jimin then laid jungkook back down onto his bed. He turned around and ran back out the door, only to return with a cup filled with water in his hand. He lightly pushed it towards Jungkook, urging him to drink it by tilting his head towards it and nodding towards the younger.

After glaring at the cup then at the boy, Jungkook hesitantly grabbed the cup, he was careful not to touch the AIs hands as he grabbed the cup.

Yet Jimin didn't notice, he only felt proud that Jungkook was slightly cooperating now.

"I won't leave." Said Jimin, as Jungkook then tipped the glass towards his lips. Only to get caught off guard at the more louder tone of Jimins voice.  Coughs racked his chest as he breathed in too suddenly, causing him to inhale some of the water. He urgently pushed the cup on the nightstand that was near his bed as he sat up more.  After a minute or two, when Jungkook calmed down, and Jimin staring at him with wide eyes, hands slightly in the air unsure what to do, Jungkook turned his gaze towards the AI with a glare.

"You can't stay here. " he stated, voice stern.

"I—"

"There's no place for you here. " Jungkook cut Jimin off, before he could say anything.

The AI only started to fiddle with the sleeve of his sweater, his head dropping slightly.

"I can't leave..." he whispered quietly, yet loud enough for Jungkook to still hear him.

"I can't leave, not when you're sick." And Jimin looked up, his pleading eyes meeting with Jungkooks. "And I've no where else to go."

The younger instantly averted his gaze. He stared at the covers that lay on his bed.

He thought about how the AI has been sitting in front of his front door for two whole days.

Jungkook thought that, if he left him alone long enough then maybe the AI would leave and go back his hyungs. Yet he stayed put, and sat there with his arms wrapped around his knees like a shield.

Jungkook really didn't want the AI in his home, the fact that it hurt to much even looking at him. Yet Jungkook wasn't all cold hearted, even if Jimin was an AI, it still felt wrong to just kick him out, knowing full well that his hyungs weren't grabbing Jimin back anytime soon.

"Fine." He mumbled, as he laid down, facing the other way from Jimin and dragging the covers up to his shoulders.

"Only until I get better." He mumbled quietly, as he stared at the wall. "You can stay, but only until I feel better..."

And Jimins features lit up as he stared at Jungkooks form. His eyes studying the way the youngers caramel locks fanned against the pillow softly.

"That is all I ask for. " Jimin spoke gently.

Yet "feeling better" was a different meaning to both of the males.
