Namjoon ended up carrying Jungkook to the car. None of them had the heart to wake the boy up; after a panic attack and a bad tic attack he needed all the rest he could get. He buckled him into his seat as the others piled into the car. And the drive back to their hotel was quiet and filled with an air of paranoia. They didn't truly know if Jungkook would ever accept his fate.
When they arrived back at the hotel, this time Seokjin carried him. Jungkook made a soft sound as he stirred in Jin's arms,
"Hy- ngh… hyung?" Seokjin shushed him as they all hastily walked to the elevator,
"Go back to sleep, baby. It's okay. You can rest." Jungkook went lax in his arms again as he fell back into his slumber. No words were exchanged between the members as they stood together in the elevator, only worried glances.Since Yoongi was rooming with Jungkook, he was assigned as the designated carer for him during the night. Seokjin had placed the maknae into his bed, bid Yoongi a good night, and left to his own room, leaving the second eldest to watch over Jungkook. He sat on his bed, not daring to look through Twitter besides how tempted he was to see the damage. He managed to last about an hour without giving in and looking. He scrolled through his phone and it didn't take much looking to find a whole plethora of tweets embellished with the hashtag, #JungkookHasTS.

Yoongi was awoken by one of the worst sounds to wake up to. He turned his bedside lamp on and threw the covers to the foot of the bed.
"Jungkookie?" He called out with worry.Because the sound he had woken up to was sobbing.
Jungkook looked ashamed to have been caught crying like a baby by his second eldest hyung. His face was barely visible but the phone screen illuminated his figure enough to tell that he was sitting up in bed and reading off the device. Yoongi realised exactly what Jungkook was looking at. He must have found the hashtag. It honestly wasn't that hard to; it was trending number one in Korea. Yoongi really didn't know how to comfort him, but words were spilling out of him anyway,
"Jungkook, I'm sure it's fine and you can't help it, it's not your fault Jungkook don't get upset about it please-""They hate me! No-one likes it! They- ah! -they want me to go on medication, hyung, I don't wanna go on medication again!" Jungkook cried out, rocking his exhausted and battered body back and forth, hugging himself. His shaking hands had a vice-like grip on his phone. Yoongi got out of bed and sat beside Jungkook, reaching out and putting a hand on his shoulder. Jungkook flinched and moved away, his brain telling him that Yoongi was trying to restrain him again.
Yoongi reassured him in a soft voice,
"I'm not gonna do anything bad, Kookie, I just wanna… hold you, if it's okay." Jungkook looked into Yoongi's eyes and saw the sincerity and care, leaning back into him and letting Yoongi wrap his arms around him and pull him close. Yoongi whispered into his shoulder,
"Is this okay?" Jungkook nodded, but there was still that question lingering on his mind.
