Namjoon walked out holding the cat in his arms but he wasn't happy. He couldn't possibly allow himself to be happy when his lovers were not. He sat down in the middle row and pet his soft head.

"He's cute" Hoseok said scratching behind his ears, "peppermint" he said and the cat just looked at him before purring against Namjoon's shirt.

Jungkook still sniffled softly as he buried himself in Jimin hugging him so tightly but always careful of his wound that still hurt like a bitch. Jimin gently kissed the side of his head. "Want to talk about it when we get home?" He asked.

"Yes please" he murmured into his neck.

How it happened was Joon came upstairs to check on Kookie having brought up peppermint with him and Jungkook asking him to stay.

Jimin was sitting with his back to the bed frame while Namjoon sat in the middle with his legs crossed while looking at Jungkook who laid on his tummy staring at nothing.

Namjoon let the kitty walk over to Jungkook walking on top of him before settling down on the small of his back to sleep which brought a grin to the youngers face.

"I really was promised a puppy, but I don't hate cats" he said softly.

"Why did you want one so badly?" Namjoon asked softly.

"I wanted a puppy for a long time, but at the brothel we couldn't have them so I just got stuffed animals or would play with the strays" he picked at a string "and I was thinking about how I never have gotten to care for anything. I've never even had a fish" he said.

"I just wanted something that I could take care of. I've just always been taken care of. From being- yeah. To now I've never had responsibility and I want that"

"I get that and I definitely think you would take care of it so much" Namjoon said leaning down onto his hands to get on his level.

Jimin smiled softly and laid down on his other side spooning him. "I think you would be a good dog dad"

Jungkook giggled a little bit "thanks, but I am still mad at Yoongi, he promised and he just was an asshole. He promised" he frowned deeply "he always breaks his word especially with me"

"He does not. I mean he does go back on his words a lot, but you're not treated differently" Namjoon assured him. "He just likes calm"

"He knew I wasn't calm when he asked me if I wanted to live with him" Jungkook rolled his eyes annoyed "I think he regrets it but would feel too guilty to give me back"

"No kookie. He loves you. You're like his light" Namjoon said concerned as he looked into his eyes.

"I would argue and say he loves you and Tae the most" he said thinking about it he treated them so much kinder. He rarely even cuddled Hoseok or Jin. Jungkook would only get cuddled when he asked or made him. He teared up and turned the other way to hide in Jimin's shirt probably because he knew he didn't like Yoongi.

The older boys looked at each other with sad expressions as they tried to comfort the youngest. Namjoon pulled out his phone and sent a text before dropping it elsewhere on the bed before comforting Jungkook again.

"He doesn't care about me or what I feel like. I lost that when I stopped being new" he sniffled pathetically into Jimin who hugged him firmly. "He would be an absolute fool to not love you"

"Are you a fool then too?" Jungkook asked.

"I'm no fool" Jimin said rubbing his back listening to the youngers breath hitch a second before he calmed. They all looked up when the door opened Jungkook looking over his shoulder with red rimmed eyes at Yoongi who frowned walking forward worried.

"Baby what's wrong" he asked.

"You're a damn fool" Jungkook grumbled looking at Namjoon who rubbed his cheek with his hand. "What's wrong? What did I do sweetheart?" Yoongi asked softly as he crouched onto the bed hands carefully moving over Jungkook's body in slow movements to relax him.

"What's wrong?" Yoongi asked after a moment of just stroking his hair, face and shoulders. "You're just mean"

"I am" Yoongi agreed pressing a kiss to the middle of kooks head. "But I love you"

"Lier" he sniffled pushing his face back into Jimin's shirt and pulling Namjoon's hands around him tightly.

Yoongi frowned "but I do love you" he murmured continuing to stroke his hair. "Come sit with me baby and talk" he soothed.

Jungkook huffed and shook his head. "Want to stay here with Joon and Jimin" he said pulling the two boys closer around him.

"How can I fix it if you won't talk to me" Yoongi asked still calmly and sweetly.

"I'll talk to you when I want to" he grumbled. Jimin glanced at Yoongi who rolled his eyes. "Every day you act more childish. Why can't you just speak with me like adults"

"Go away" Jimin said pointing to the door and looking at Yoongi raising his brows "go. Just go if you're going to be a dick"

"I can't fucking stand you" Yoongi snapped.

"Good" Jimin huffed watching him leave. Namjoon and Jimin shared a look and kept cuddling the youngest. They both knew why Jungkook acted the way he did. He never was raised to grow up. He was in a brothel, nobody taught him anything better. They did the best they could do.

Jungkook sobbed silently "he's so mean to me" he croaked. And this time when the door opened he didn't look up, but soon Tae was at one edge of the bed where Yoongi once was and crossed his legs lowering kooks head to rest on his thighs. "You can cry" he said tracing his facial features with his slender fingers. Jimin still held Kooks hand applying gentle pressure.

"I wish he liked me like he liked you" Jungkook said sadly while smiling at Tae. "He does not" he said firmly "he loves us all the exact same. I'm just an asshole if I don't get my why" Tae said holding his face. "The only person he doesn't like is Jimin"

"And the feeling is mutual there" Jimin piped up causing a tiny grin to grace his lips. "I'll go kick his ass if you want too. I'm bigger than him"

"Yes I want to see that" Namjoon giggled.

Tae leaned down and kissed Jungkook's nose "it will be ok. I'll take care of you. You don't need Yoongi" he grinned. Jungkook nodded and sat up wiping his eyes "I'm gonna go take a shower I feel gross"

"Go ahead baby" Namjoon said patting his bottom as he left to his bathroom shutting the door. After the shower turned on Namjoon and Tae started talking about how to make the boy feel better.

Jimin rubbed his arms feeling cold "come here" he heard Joon say and he looked down seeing the older man held his arms open for him. He laid down and rolled over into him hiding his hands between them so they could warm up as Tae played with his hair.

"You're so precious Jiminie" Tae told him lovingly. "Thanks" he mumbled embarrassed as he closed his eyes.

"Don't worry about what Yoongi says he is kinda dumb sometimes" he giggled "but I bet by tomorrow everything is fine again"

"I'll still not like him" he grumbled.

"I know dear" Tae said as Namjoon gently kissed his cheek.
