sort of.

Jimin walked into the lounge of the hotel the member's were staying in and studied his surroundings.

Yoongi was sprawled out on the couch, Hobi near his feet. Namjoon and Jin, sitting at the table their heads heads together pouring over some papers that were layed out on the table.

Jimin smiled a bit but his smile swayed when he saw Jungkook and Tae.

Tae was leaning on Jungkook, their hands intertwined. Jimin felt his heart go to his throat seeing the pair snuggle closer to each other. Jungkook was staring at Tae with lidded eyes.

Jimin stepped forward and sat in the small space next to Tae.

"Taetae, are you asleep?" He whispered and Jungkook hugged him tighter.

Taehyung stirred and then smiled.

His eyes lit up as he looked over at Jimin.

"Hi Chimchim!! I'm awake now!!"

Jimin felt himself relax until Taehyung looked over at Jungkook, his smiled widening.

"Kookie~!!!" Taehyung threw his arms around Jungkook's neck and giggled. "How long were you here?"

Jungkook just smiled softly and shook his head.

Jimin watched Taehyung dig his nose into the crook of Jungkook's neck and he looked away. His eyes filled up with tears as he thought of his friend. His Taehyung.

Jimin shifted uncomfortably and closed his eyes, leaning into his hand.

Taehyung loosened his grip on Jungkook and wrapped his arms around Jimin's waist.

"Chimchim...?" Jimin grunted in response. "Why are you sad...? Did I... did I do something wrong...?"

Jimin allowed himself a smile, glad to be the center of Taehyung's attention.

"No Tae, you're ok."

He turned and squeezed Taehyung back.

A smile broke onto Taehyung's face. "Ah, hyungie isn't mad!!"

Jimin caught Jungkook's eyes and he smiled awkwardly. He hugged Tae tighter to his chest and tried to look anywhere but at Jungkook.

To soon Tae was wiggling out of Jimin's arms and he stood, leaving Jimin feeling empty and cold.

Taehyung grabbed both of their hands and pulled them up. "Let's go do something fun!!"

Jin looked up from where he and Namjoon were. "Don't do anything stupid." He looked at Jimin. "Don't let them do anything stupid."

Jimin felt his chest swell with pride having been assigned the task to protect his Tae.

And Jungkook of course.

Taehyung jumped up and down excitedly and after a brief discussion, Tae- I mean they all, decided to go to the hotel's pool.

The three had gone into the room they were sharing and had all grabbed their suits, towels and sunscreen. Now the trio were standing infront of the dark water at the deep end of the pool.
