Jungkook's P.O.V

I came back into the house and no one was in the living room.

I dragged myself upstairs, into my room.

Tears kept falling down on my face, and I hated it.

I never cry.

I'm getting weak.

Taehyung was laying in bed and he sprung up when he saw the door open.

"Jungkook? Are you crying?", he asked and walked to me.

I turned my head, "No."

He moved my head to face him.

He wiped my tears, "Jungkook, what's wrong?"

It looked like he had been crying too.

"Nothing."

"Tell me. Did you go to the waterfall?"

I shook my head.

"Then.. where did you go?", his thumb slid under my eye.

"My mother's grave.", I finally said and he gave me a sympathetic look.

"Oh Jungkook.", he pulled me into a hug.

My mind was telling me to pull away, but my body didn't want to move.

I pushed him back gently, "You don't have to comfort me. I'll be fine."

"No. You can't push someone away when you need them. And, you don't have to be alone when you're sad.", he was crying.

"Are you crying because of me?"

"Kind of.. I'm crying because I'm scared. He's alive. He could attack at any moment. I'm scared that something bad will really h-happen."

"You're safe. Stop crying. Youre gonna be fine.". I said and walked to the bed, but he grabbed my hand.

"Why are you being like this?", his eyes sparkled like a puppy's.

"I cant explain. Just.. dont cry.", I sat on the bed.

Taehyungs P.O.V

I walked out of the room and ran to Jimin, who was in his room.

I knocked and Yoongi came to the door.

"Hey- whats wrong?", he asked me.

"Where's Jimin?", I sniffled.

"He's in the bed.", he opened the door wider.

"Tae? What happened? Why are you crying?", he asked.

I didn't answer and just hugged him.

"i'll, um.. I'll leave you two.", Yoongi announced and closed the door.

"Tae baby. What happened?", Jimin held my head.

"I'm falling apart, Chim. Jungkook is pushing me away. His dad is alive-"

"His dad is alive?!"

"Yes! Im scared and Jungkook says he is going to keep me safe but I don't believe him this time. and he won't open up to me. And... everything is just going wrong.", I sobbed into his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry Tae. Do I need to talk to him?"

"No.."

He rubbed my back, "Listen to me, Tae. Im so proud of how strong youre being. You are doing amazing. Do not let anyone let you think otherwise. Jungkook probably just feels pressured. I know you like him, and I know he likes you too. But, don't cry. Security has gone up and I'm sure the boys are ready for anything right now. don't be scared, be confident, because thats what we need right now. I know this is all new. I know you feel frightened, but just remember. Jungkook wants to keep you safe. And I know that for a fact. So stop crying, TaeTae. Be strong. For me. And mostly, for your mom."

He's right.

"thank you chim.", I sniffled and he smiled at me.

"Of course."

Yoongis P.O.V

I have never seen Jungkook like this.

He looks... defeated.

"You wanna tell me whats going on?", I stared at him sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I'm lost, bro.", he said.

"About what?"

"Everything. I'm a fucking failure."

"Now, don't say that. You're not a failure. You have been keeping us safe, and you made some pretty great decisions. What's going on Kook? You've never been like this before.", I sat by him on the bed.

"I went to my mom's grave."

I nodded slowly, "How did that go?"

"It might be crazy, but I was talking to her. I was saying how I miss her. And I tried to kill him, but I failed."

"He's alive?"

"Yep. Turns out my stabbing didn't work."

"It's ok, Jungkook. We're gonna figure it out, as a team.", I put my arm around his shoulders.

"And tell me what's going on with Taehyung?"

He poked his cheek, "I don't know. I kind of ended things."

"Why?"

"Because. I can't keep putting him at risk. I already killed his mom, I can't have more shit happening."

"Ok. Whatever you think is best, then i'm gonna leave it alone. But hear me out. Tae just got raped. Must be fucking traumatized. Maybe he hoped to just be in your arms. But imagine coming home and hearing the boy you like tell you that we need to stop this. He must be feeling lonely. I'm not saying what you're doing is wrong, but I don't think it's right. Just.. don't make the kid feel worse than he already does. And, you haven't failed at anything. I hope you know that. Love you man.", I patted his shoulder and stood up.

"Thanks.. hyung."

"...Hyung?", I turned my head.

"Yeah."

"I gotta get used to that.", Yoongi chuckled and walked out of the room.
