Jin's P.O.V

Slowly, I walk out of the hospital, my arm over Hoseok's shoulders we stroll outside where cars are the only thing you can hear. "Thank you, Hoseok. But I really don't need help." I tell him. Hoseok shakes his head not letting go. Leaving my room I had to be transferred by a wheelchair and it hurt Jimin to see me in one. Taehyung told me this morning about how Jimin had accidentally given the creeps my address. I don't blame Jimin, it's not his fault I just wish he knew what he was doing before it happens.

I look back at Jimin and Taehyung with the rest. Jimin shrugs talking to Taehyung but Taehyung doesn't look over to catch my gaze. Yoongi and Jungkook whisper to each other just a couple steps ahead of them. Jungkook. Figured out this morning from Hoseok Jungkook and Jimin had a thing going but Jimin keeps denying it. When Jungkook really doesn't care who knows who he is dating and for what reason choose Jimin? He likes girls. I go back to Hoseok as he leads me to his car. "Hey, no. He is going with me!" Taehyung calls.

"Over my dead body am I letting him drive with you!" Hoseok hollers back. I hear Jimin's laugh in the background.

"Hoseok, you don't have to worry so much." I say.

Hoseok then lets go of me and I almost fall if it weren't for Taehyung who was behind me to start with. My eyes widen. "I worry so much because this so called nice cool guy right here," Hoseok points to Taehyung with an angry expression. "Is always hurting you! And you keep going back!" I glance at Taehyung after Hoseok's words. Taehyung sighs and I know he doesn't want to start an altercation.

"We talked about it already I even talked about it with Namjoon." Taehyung points out. "And I was thinking last night too," Taehyung bites his bottom lip and stares down at his feet. "I'm going to keep my distance so you don't have to worry, Hoseok." He tells him. Wait no, not again! This happened already and I'm not letting this happen!

"Taehyung-" Jungkook tries to talk.

"Shut it, bunny teeth," Taehyung eyes him. "You don't have to worry either, Jin. It's best that this happens."

I shake my head over and over again grabbed his shirt by the chest. "No, no it isn't. You know it! I didn't get hurt because of you! You didn't mean anything in this!" I cry.

"Jin-"

"You can't leave again." My ribs begin to hurt from my heavy breathing. "You can't leave me again. I've done so much, I've come this far, further than I thought I would."

Taehyung's expression saddens. It is silent. Now look what Hoseok did, he's my best friend but can't I live my life? "Calm down," Taehyung pulls me into a hug and rubs my head. "I'm sorry for saying those words. I won't go, I promise." Too many promises I can't count.

"Are you kidding me?!" Hoseok hollers as he stomps his foot.

Hoseok then gets close to Taehyung tipping us apart but Taehyung is quick on grabbing me. I almost fall to the road it it weren't for Taehyung. Why is this happening? Everything was going so well. "Why are you fighting?!" I hear Namjoons voice and see Namjoon tare Hoseok away from the conflict.

"If you know what's good for you, stay away from Jin." Hoseok spits at Taehyung.

"What the hell, why are you saying that?" Namjoon tries to go after Hoseok but he's quick on moving away.

"Hoseok!" Jimin calls. Slightly pulling away from the warm hug Taehyung had put me in I notice Hoseok storming off to Yoongi's car and getting in. Jimin is running to him along with Jungkook behind him. Yoongi is on their tail with a stern look on his face eyeing Hoseok. Why is he suddenly acting like this? I want to run after Hoseok too but something keeps me back. If I go and try talking to him it'll only make things worse.

"Let's go." Taehyung softly tells me. I nod and let him lead me by the hand to his car. Getting in the passenger seat Taehyung gets in the driver seat and starts to the car. I watch as Namjoon stands there to see me off, he doesn't wave or anything just watches. My mind won't leave Hoseok. Hoseok. Hoseok. Hoseok. God this sucks. "He'll come around. I'll have Yoongi help."

We left Jimin. I look out the window to witness Jungkook go to his car with Jimin being dragged along by his hand. Jimin doesn't want to go but Jungkook keeps insisting. Suddenly they start to talk but Jimin isn't calm about it like Jungkook is. I lean back in my seat once again and close my eyes. I want to go home. No. I don't want to go home there will be no one there. "I don't want to go home." I bring up.

"Why not?" Taehyung questions.

"Because there is nobody there that cares about me anymore. I want to go somewhere where I belong." I open my eyes for them to land on Taehyung who looks right back at me. I press my lips together.

"Is my place okay?"

I smile and nod. "It is."
