*ding dong*

mrs jeon rushed to the door and opened up for jimin. "hello, jimin, long time no see." she smiled at him and enclosed him into a warm friendly hug.

"good to see you again, mrs jeon." he smiled back. jungkook then came running downstairs and immediately grabbed jimin's arm to pull him to his room. "mom, we're upstairs!"

"wowowow, jungkook, relax, i'm also just human." jungkook sighed and sat down on his bed. "i'm sorry jimin... taehyung... i'm scared." he pulled his knees to his chest as he hid his face in them.

jimin's expression softened and he felt deep pity for the maknae. he sat down next to him and caressed his back. "jungkookie, i bet everything's alright." jimin said and smiled.
"try to call him again, if he doesn't pick up, i'll try to call him afterwards." jimin said and stood up to get jungkook's phone from his table. he handed it to the younger one, who dialed his boyfriend's number with a sad expression.

taehyung saw that jungkook was calling. instantly his hands started shaking, as he wanted so badly to hear jungkook's voice again, but he can't. so he declined before hiding his head in his pillow and letting out small sobs.

"he doesn't pick up, hyung." jungkook whispered defeated, pulling the phone down.

"okay i'll call him," jimin took his phone out his pocket, waited a little, before he called taehyung. when taehyung saw jimin calling, he quickly wiped his tears away and answered.

"hello?" jungkook's eyes shot wide open and met jimin's who also wasn't able to understand the situation now. taehyung really seems to ignore jungkook. the maknae's heartbeat fastened by the sound of his lover's voice.

"put it on loud and don't tell him i'm here." jungkook whispered to jimin and he nodded. he put the speaker on loud and both of them listened carefully.

"hey, taehyung! is everything alright?"

"of course... why you asking...?" taehyung sounded completely unsure, his voice broken.

"tae, did you cry?" jimin asked worriedly, noticing the sound in the younger's voice.

"nope? do i sound like it."

jimin scoffed, "yeah, you sound perfect." jungkook still tried to comprehend what was going on, taehyung was definitely lying about the fact that he indeed cried.

"taehyung, you know, you can tell me everything, right?" jimin said, facing jungkook, who just looked devastated.

"everything is alright." taehyung tried to reassure.

"if everything's alright, why aren't you answering jungkook's messages and calls?"
jimin asked, watching how jungkook played nervously with his fingers.

taehyung on the other side was about to burst into tears. he had the urge to tell jimin everything, to just let everything out, but he wanted to keep them save, so he kept quiet.

"hyung, that's... i can't tell you. i want to tell so badly, but i can't."

jungkook now looked up. he wanted to grab the phone from jimin, but he moved his arm away and placed his index finger on his lips, before moving the phone closer to him again.

"why can't you tell me. you always tell me everything. what's wrong, is everything alright?" jimin questioned. jungkook and he were both worried about taehyung. what is it that he wants to tell them so bad, but can't?

"hyung, please don't ask. i really can't tell you. if i tell you everything's getting worse. i don't want that to happen..." taehyung's voice became quieter to the end.
