~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was chaotic, to say the least, the next few minutes proceeding Taehyung's drop.

Jiwoon stared at his hands that remained in the air after that. He could not comprehend what exactly happened or why. Well, he knew Taehyung had a panic attack that led to him fainting, but why was he having the attack in the first place? That's what he couldn't understand. As far as he knew, he said nothing that Taehyung didn't already know. He was so shocked that the words Jungkook was yelling out were drowned out by his worried and wondering mind. He only noticed his surroundings after Jungkook kneeled on the ground next to Taehyung.

"Taehyung! Taehyung!" – He tried calling the boy but in vain. Taehyung was gone. Jungkook knew that what came next he could not predict. It was highly unlikely for it to be Taehyung after the boy wakes up. He looked at Jiwoon – "I'm so sorry about all this man, and on your birthday, but I just can't leave him right now."

"Yea, yea, of course. It's no big deal. We'll just postpone it. Can I do anything? I don't know what's going on though? Did I do anything?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll explain sometime later. For now can you give us a ride to my place?" – Jungkook was pleading with his eyes as he asked for the favor.

"Definitely, yes. Let's get him in the car. I'll help." – Jiwoon offered.

"Is your car far from here?"

"Not really. It's down the street, right across, over there, can you see?" – Jiwoon pointed to the car then looked back at Jungkook.

"Yea I can see. Then there's no need. I got him. You go ahead and come meet us halfway."

Jungkook scooped Taehyung up in his arms, carrying him like he was his little baby. Taehyung's head fell back. He wasn't conscious, he couldn't hold himself up. So Jungkook tossed his head back up gently with his shoulder, maneuvering it to lay on it.

Jiwoon had ran and reached his car and was on his way to reach the boys as Jungkook kept walking.

Once He reached the vehicle, he opened the back door, carefully laid Taehyung along the backseat, ran over to the other side and sat down, laying the boy's head on his lap. Jiwoon looked at them from the rearview mirror. He noticed how Jungkook was caring for the boy. Jiwoon decided he will not look anymore, sparing himself that little hurt in his heart.

Jiwoon helped Jungkook carry Taehyung into his apartment, opening the door for him and letting them in.

"Thanks for everything, Jiwoon. And again, sorry for all of this. I feel like crap. I ruined your birthday for you."

"First of all, you're very welcome. Second of all, you ruined nothing. We'll reschedule and you'll make up for it. Third of all, it's basic human decency. I wasn't going to ask you to come have fun and let the guy on the ground, or leave you with him and run off. Is that how you've known me?"

Jungkook chucked and lowered his gaze to the ground then glanced back at Taehyung.

"No, I know."

"Are you sure you don't want me to examine him?"

"No. Just trust me. Really this happens all the time. I've cared for him like this before and I'll tend to him again today. It's a simple panic attack. Don't stress about it. If I need you, I'll call you."

After Jiwoon left, Jungkook sat beside his bed where Taehyung slept. He thought long and hard about everything. How Taehyung acted so out of character, wondered why it happened. Was Taehyung remembering things that had happened while V was out? Was he aware? Or were the memories somehow being merged or scrambled? What was happening in that beautiful head of his? Why did he get so angry and aggressive all of a sudden? If he didn't know better, he would have thought it was V, not Taehyung. But V wouldn't have panicked or fainted because Jiwoon touching him. Was V trying to front while Taehyung was out? Were the coconscious? Whatever the hell it was happened Jungkook knew he had to get to the bottom of it somehow; whether it was through Taehyung or V, it didn't matter.

While Jungkook was lost deep into his thoughts a pair of shiny eyes happened to be scanning him, reading him, waiting for him to look up notice them.

It wasn't too long after that that Jungkook moved his eyes, bringing Taehyung into his field of vision. First he was looking at his body, his chest and then he noticed his breathing. He was no longer breathing like he was sleeping. It had gotten quieter and faster; Jungkook's eyes darted to Taehyung's piercing ones.

"H-" – Jungkook's voice cracked. He had to try again right away – "Hi. Um. V?"

The boy's eyes were so sad, he looked so broken. In all honesty, he couldn't figure out who it could be. All three of them wore those sad eyes sometimes. All three of them had reason to. But these eyes were more frequently worn by Taehyung. So naturally, when no answer followed his question, and wondering eyes kept roaming and scanning his face, he tried again – "Taehyung?"

"No baby."
