"Kookie-ah," Jin spoke in an almost scolding tone that a mother would use. He instantly got up from his spot on the couch and walked towards his youngest soulmate, worry written all over his face when he noticed his puffy, red face and knew he had been crying, "You were out all day, where were you?"

He and Namjoon had volunteered to stay up, allowing the rest to sleep as they knew the majority of them had a long day tomorrow. Tomorrow was Monday, and both the boys had the day off tomorrow, so they didn't mind staying up for their youngest boy. Especially when worry would prevent them from doing so, as they realized Jungkook left his phone in the apartment, so there was no way of contacting him.

"If you're gonna head out, at least take your phone with you," Namjoon chided, not bothering to get up from his position on the couch. A laptop balanced on his lap, even if he had the day off tomorrow, he was always still busy, "Taehyung and Jimin ran all over campus looking for you."

Jungkook only hung his head low, feeling guilty for making everyone worry about him, when he knew they had their own share of things to worry about. Plus, they should be worrying and fussing over Sera, not him. A person who couldn't even remember to bring his own phone with him, "Sorry hyungs," he muttered, feeling a sudden shame.

He messed up.

He keeps messing up.

Slightly taken aback by Jungkook's depressed state, Jin turned to look at Namjoon with an alarmed look. Usually, the youngest Maknae wasn't like this, not so subdued.

With a soft sigh, Jin chuckled lightly as he gently patted Jungkook's head to try to reassure him, because he felt what Jungkook was feeling, "You even forgot your wallet, let's get you something to eat."

"I want to break up with Lilia," Jungkook suddenly said, the thought of eating right now just made him want to throw up. There was too much guilt in him that he just couldn't eat, "I don't want to be with her anymore."

"What happened Jungkook?" Namjoon suddenly asked, growing worried by his sudden change of attitude. Gently, he led Jungkook to sit down on the couch and exchanged worried glances with Seokjin.

"Because I don't want to make any more mistakes, I...I just want to fix everything."

Because he never felt so much at peace and loved, than when he was in Sera's arms, and never did he feel so guilty at the same time. To be so tempted to press his lips against hers, but he restrained himself. If their first kiss were ever going to happen, it wouldn't be when he still didn't fix his mistakes.

"We'll talk to her tomorrow, okay? We'll all do this together, okay Kooki?" Jin spoke so gently as he pressed a soft and comforting kiss on his cheeks, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.

In order for this relationship to ever grow and progress, everyone needed to be open; no one left behind, unaware by the situation.

Everyone has been unaware for so long.

So with flowers in his hands and a nervous smile, Namjoon gently knocked on the door to Sera's hospital room, heart beating so quickly it felt ready to jump out. He wanted to run away, to hide from fear of him not being able to be forgiven and the fear of rejection; to just hide and not confront his fears.
