After Jimin legally raced to Jungkook's house, he greeted his mom, as per usual, trying to hide the fact that he was crying. Successfully, he ran upstairs and just broke down when he got into his best friend's room.

He closed the door and leaned up against it. Jungkook looked up from his laptop, looking at Jimin with a concerned expression.

"Jungkook, I fucked up. I really fucked up." He sobbed.

"Jimin, what happened?" Jungkook almost felt sick upon seeing Jimin's immediate reaction. He had no idea what was going on with Jimin. His mind went to the worst possible scenarios, something happened with his disorder.

Jimin stumbled to Jungkook's bed and sat on it, hunching over to try and breathe.

"Please please don't hate me or judge me but I've been talking to Taehyung again." Jungkook's eyes widened as he was completely shocked. He was also slightly relieved because he had originally thought Jimin seriously hurt himself. He wasn't thrilled with this news, but Jimin was, hopefully, physically okay. He didn't know how to respond to Jimin right now, but he knew there was more he wanted to say so he stayed silent and nodded his head, signaling Jimin to continue speaking. "I'm so stupid, but he roped me back in. I don't know how but we've been secretly hanging out and I've been sleeping over his house and we've been having sex and he's been talking about getting back together but I said no multiple times but he keeps bringing it up and I'm so confused, I don't know what to do, Jungkook." Jimin basically spat out without taking a single breath in between, losing every last bit of breath he had. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve. "And Yoongi found out and he said really hurtful things and I'm just questioning everything. I don't know. I just don't know." Jimin shook his head.

"Jimin, you have to calm down a little bit. Here drink some water and take a couple deep breaths, please." Jungkook handed him a bottle of water that was sat on his bedside table to calm him down. He tried to take in everything Jimin said, but he couldn't get anything more out of him if he didn't relax a little bit first.

Jimin nodded and gulped down some of the water. He took a few deep breaths.

"Do your breathing exercises. Take your time and just breathe." Jungkook assured him. Jungkook knew of the breathing exercises Jimin was taught when he was younger and they really helped Jimin, so Jungkook used this to his advantage as he knew the moment called for it.

It took a little while, but surely enough, Jimin calmed down. His crying ceased a little bit, and he was at least able to breathe without hiccuping.

When he was calm enough to speak, he did.

"I was just hanging out with him. I had no intention of getting back together with him, whatsoever. In all honesty, I was just using him for some company and sex. I was comfortable with him, so I figured it would be fine. But I got in too deep. He talked about getting back together, and I actually considered it, Jungkook. I'm scared. I can't get back together with him, but that doesn't mean I don't want to." Jimin pleaded.

"Jimin." Jungkook sighed. He didn't even know where to start. He knew that he would have to say pretty much everything he said last time, but he didn't care. He would say it as many times as he had to until Jimin understood. "It's okay. I'm not judging you, I'm just a little upset. It's a lot to take in."
