Jin sighed as he laid down on the cheap hotel bed that was hard and musty. He had only gotten one bed and was currently spread eagle on it taking up all the space causing Jimin to giggle softly and set his soda cup down. They had all eaten cheap fast food before coming here which all relaxed them.

Jimin crawled onto the bed after shedding his coat and laid down in a ball under Jins arm using it as a pillow. "I'm so tired" Jin groaned rubbing his eyes. "I told you not to carry me" Jimin poked his cheek.

"I wanted to" Jin said opening his eyes and staring at the ceiling. Tae went to the bathroom and washed his face before coming back out and sitting on the recliner and curling up his back facing the other boys as he closed his eyes trying to get warm in his own coat.

"Tae come to bed with us" Jimin called from the bed after another sappy conversation with Jin that the younger had to listen to. Tae looked over his shoulder seeing the two cuddling on top of the covers with their clothes still on. Reminding him that he was being pushed back.

"I'm fine here" he said turning his head again to get comfy. He closed his eyes ready to let sleep take him.

"Tae please come to bed I don't want to hear you complain tomorrow about your neck hurting" Jin said lightly.

"No" he said firmly. He absolutely did not need Jin just being nice to him because Jimin was there. He could only imagine the ass beating he's gonna get when Yoongi gets a hold of him. Jin wouldn't hesitate to do it as well but hadn't yet to spare Jimin.

"Please?" Jimin asked softly "please? It's not that bad to sleep with us" he said quietly.

"It has nothing to do with you Jimin you're perfect, but I'm not sharing a bed with Jin" he said his face tensing with anger unknowingly.

"Why?" Jin asked which only made his anger grow. His whole body tense and ready to fight.

"Don't act like you don't know. You want to hit me. You want me to hurt" Tae glared "you're mad at me because I did what I know is best" he glared his own eyes watering "if hitting me will fucking make it better then do it" he said staring straight into his eyes.

Jin was the first to look away. "I'm going to bed do whatever the fuck you want" he said. Jimin sat in the middle of the mattress looking back and forth between both boys not knowing what to do so he just laid down after turning out the lights without touching Jin and closed his eyes hoping that in the morning it would be better. Except he didn't go to sleep. He couldn't while listening to the sounds of Tae's muffled cries.

Surprisingly he wasn't the one who got up to check on him, Jin did. He tried to pretend to sleep in the dark room while watching their silhouettes. Jin crouched down in front of the chair and reached up momentarily pausing when Tae flinched expecting to be hit but instead he wiped his tears.

"I don't want to hit you. That's why I didn't. I'm pissed off beyond words but I don't want to hurt you" he said softly.

"Then why do you say such cruel things to me?" Tae sobbed softly his words slurred and stuttered as he cried.

"I'm sorry for that. I just...I get so mad and I don't think before I speak and I'm sorry" he said leaning forward and laying his head on Tae's chest "I love you"

The younger tenderly wrapped his hands around his head hugging him. "I love you too"

"Now let's get into bed ok? It's not much better than the chair in terms of comfortable but it's with us" he said gently leading Tae to the bed and out of Jimin's sight. He closed his eyes again and felt the dip of the mattress before on of the boys leaned against his back their nose between his shoulder blades and a hand around his waist. Tae.
