//thank you for 100 comments! sorry, i haven't updated in a while. i'm taking slow updates now while on vacations, but hope for another one before the year ends. not proofread but still please enjoy!//

a small boy with fire like red hair sat on a grey carpet in the middle of a dimly lit living room. two people sat beside him, talking with him while stroking his hair.

they said things about their lives and their dreams like they normally did. all cheesy thoughts of course. but jimin and namjoon mainly just wanted to get jungkook's mind off of everything that had been recently happening to him.

"have you drawn anything recently?" namjoon asked, tilting jungkook's head towards himself, trying to capture jungkook's attention.

"no. i'm sorry joonie," jungkook sighed, looking away from the two men, feeling bad he hadn't been following the advice he was given. he shielded his eyes away from their own dark orbs and looked down at the fascinating carpeted floor.

"just, find something that you have interest in okay?" jungkook nodded in response to jimin's advice. he got an idea and turned to look at the blonde.

"do you and namjoon want to help me draw something for taehyung. He's having trouble with money again. he's also working on his anger which i know is hard for him."

namjoon nodded and stood to go get some watercolor and paper, while jimin left to get some paper towels to put under their art. it was a little crazy to jungkook how in sync they were.

jungkook was playing with his hair, excited to get some help with painting. he loved it but found it not as soothing as it used to be. maybe with the help of his close friends he'd find enjoyment in making art again.

namjoon came back, water spilled all over his shirt. when jimin saw namjoon he just sighed, already figuring out that namjoon's clumsy self-had spilled the water over himself.

jimin sat in front of joon and wiped his shirt a bit with the extra paper towels he grabbed. namjoon was sitting on the couch and jimin on his knees in front of him. jungkook looked away, thinking it was awkward to be watching them be so close to one another.

"okay, come sit at the table here, kookie," namjoon said sweetly after kissing his lover's forehead and thanking him.

there were multiple paper towels placed on the table, each set in front of three dark oak chairs. pieces of perfect watercolor paper sat at each person's spot. jimin sat at the end and offered namjoon the middle. at the center of the table, there was a small cup of water with a couple of brushes inside. and at everyone's place, there were multiple colored paints for them to use. jungkook grinned at the sight and eagerly sat down.

"draw something that will help me get to know you," jimin said. he and jungkook weren't super close but he wanted to be. if someone was so important to his boyfriend, they were important to him

"m'kay," jungkook sang, looking at the blank piece of paper. but at that moment jungkook couldn't think of anything that would resemble him in away way. that was, until he scratched his ankle and to a look. there was the daisy, in its simple little spot on jungkook's ankle.

jungkook didn't want to draw it the exact same way, he wanted to make the daisy his own piece of himself. he wanted both pictures to have their own value and own meaning. he wanted the daisy tae had given him to remain a calm, not very detailed, daisy. but jungkook wanted to make something grand. it would take up the entire paper and cause a mess.

he didn't want a singular daisy either. he wanted to show he was no longer alone in the world. so, jungkook took a look around the room at the two others and them himself. deciding to draw three beautiful daisies.

he let the brush go on its own way, letting it direct his mind. he was a little bit distracted by whatever joon was making, which looked a bit like a thrown up rainbow. but, he centered himself again and continued to paint.

when jungkook was done his hand and shirt were wet. his hands colored in light colors, yellow and green, and beautiful white blotches. He smiled at his drawing and waited for it to draw. he sat on his now dry hands and took a look around the room.

jimin and namjoon were both fawning over jimin's drawing of a small deer with bright star-like eyes. it had a beautiful brown color as it's fur and jungkook became slightly upset because of the attention he wasn't getting. he stuck his tongue into the side of his cheek and frowned, looking back at his drawing.

"this isn't even that good anyway," he said sadly. he pulled up his forearm, getting ready to smudge the whole drawing when namjoon caught his arm.

"what do you mean it isn't good? that's better than something I could ever do!" namjoon shouted, gazing at the picture with wide eyes, like jimin's deer.

they continued to gaze lovingly and praise jungkook until namjoon noticed something about what jungkook had drawn.

"aww, it's like taehyung daisy from when you met, that's so cute, kookie!" namjoon pulled jungkook into a side hug and jimin joined in from the other side.

"the daisy means innocence and purity, and also new beginnings which i find interesting. i think a daisy is how people could describe me."

jimin nods at the statement before jungkook checks the time and realizes he wants to go see taehyung.

"i'm going to go, thank you all so much for letting me paint with you all. it was very relaxing and i liked it so much."

"great talking with you,jungkook," jimin said, smiling so hard jungkook couldn't see his eyes. it was so cute which led to jungkook and namjoon giggling back.

"bye kookie, stop by anytime you need!"

"bye."
