Namjoon sighs walking into the bar for the fifth time this week. He walked straight to the bar where Jungkook was barely sitting on the stool blabbering words that no one could understand.

"Did he pay the bill?" Namjoon asked disappointingly.

Ji-yong nodded before serving another customer his drink.

Namjoon went to help Jungkook get up and helped him steady himself. "Thanks again Ji-yong." Namjoon said waving goodbye. "No problem!"

After some struggling Namjoon was finally driving  Jungkook back home.

"Jungkook how many times do I have to keep telling you that you need to stop this?" Namjoon said sighing at the sight of drunk jungkook in the seat.

"you...you.. can sto... stop telling me that. Beca...because I won't stop." Jungkook slurred before passing out on the drivers seat.

Namjoon unlocked the front door and entered the lonely and cold home.

"I'm gonna go check on him, you remember where everything is right pretty?" Namjooon asked turning around.

Jimin nodded smiling before walking into the laundry room to get the cleaning supplies.

To say Namjoon was exhausted was an understatement but so was his concern.

"Jungkook?" He whispered when he entered the pitch black bedroom.

Jungkook stirred around before a he let out a painful sigh. "Jungkook." Namjoon said a bit louder this time.

"Shhh" Jungkook managed to said before regretting it as he felt his head pounding in pain.

"Here take this." Namjoon said helping sit up and handing him the painkillers and the glass of water. Once Jungkook took the medicine he laid back down. "We brought you some food, we'll be downstairs when you feel better." Namjoon whispered before heading back downstairs.

Two hours later Jimin and Namjoon where finishing cleaning up the downstairs area when Jungkook walked down with his head hung low.

"Kookie!" Jimin said before rushing to hug his friend and bring over to the table helping him sit down. "I'm gonna heat up your food okay?" Jimin asked before walking to the kitchen.

"How do you feel?" Namjoon asked taking a seat in front of him. "Like death." Jungkook replied running his hands over his face in frustration.

Jimin placed the plate of warm food infront of Jungkook before walking upstairs. Namjoon watched him eat slowly until he stopped.

"Jungkook you said something yesterday that worries me a lot." Namjoon said letting out a deep breath. "I meant it." Jungkook replied looking away. "You meant that you'll never stop this? You'll never stop drinking your life away? You'll never care about us, your friends? You'll never take care of yourself? Is that what you meant?" Namjoon asked raising his voice.

"Hyung, it's the only thing that helps my pain." Jungkook answered truthfully trying to ignore the pain. "There are better ways to deal with pain. Don't you realize that you're hurting us too? You're basically hurting Jin, and most importantly your health. "

Jungkook stayed silent and bit his bottom lip at the mention of the love of his life.

"Listen Jungkook we all care about you and it hurts us seeing you like this; so lifeless and soulless. We want what's best for you and this isn't it. Please for fucks sake reconsider what your doing." Namjoon added feeling defeated and exhausted.

Jungkook couldn't answer because he would either lie or regret his words.

"Babe can you go vacuum upstairs?" Jimin asked walking into the dining room. Namjoon smiled before nodding and going upstairs.

Jimin took a seat next to Jungkook and embraced him trying to show his concern for the younger through his arms.

"Jungkook, have you thought about what I told you last time?" Jimin asked only for Jungkook to shrug. "I think it would be the best for you and if you don't want to move in with us Hoseok said their house is also an option. What do you say?" Jimin asked softly playing with Jungkooks hair.

"I can't. I can't leave the home I bought for Jin, he decorated it all by himself and I love it and I don't want anyone to take that away from me." Jungkook stated in serious tone. Jimin sighed and couldn't even try to hide his frown.
