Jimin's POV

I woke up and immediately, I felt a sharp pain near the sides of my head. Laying down for a while, I recalled what happened last night.

Right...yesterday was my birthday...the members celebrated for me...and at the karaoke room...with Kookie...

Everything was blur at first, but slowly, I began to have a clearer picture. Yes, I was drunk yesterday, and that's why I'm probably having a hangover now.

I was drunk in the karaoke room. Kookie was beside me, we talked, finally, after so long. I remembered how conflicted he looked. What did we exactly did? I asked him not to leave me alone. I broke down in front of him. I held onto him. And...what's next?

Damn, my head continued to spin and the harder I try to recall what happened yesterday, the sharper the pain becomes.

I turned my body around, to see Yoongi hyung sleeping beside my bed. He was sitting on the chair, with his head resting on my pillow. Patting him softly, I whispered, "Hyung..."

He woke up immediately after one call, a little unusual. Looking at me with his eyes half-opened, he smiled and said, "Oh, you woke up?"

"Ne hyung."

"How about you feeling right now?"

"Erm...I guess it's the hangover effect."

"Not surprise. You were so drunk yesterday and I had a hard time carrying you back."

"Hyung took care of me yesterday?"

"Ne! I had to piggy back you from the karaoke room, to the car, and back to your room. Ahhh, my muscles are aching now."

I was dumbfounded, "So you were with me yesterday night...and not-"

"Not who?"

"Err...nothing."

"Ne, you were so drunk you were lying on the sofa and threw the phone on the table. I spent fifteen minutes calling you up."

"So...so it was you hyung..." I mumbled, "and not Kookie?" I looked down disappointingly.

Luckily, hyung did not catch the last part. He stood up and did a little stretching before walking out of the room. "Wash up and come out for breakfast chimchim," he reminded before leaving.

So...yesterday night...the conversation with Kookie...it was all my imagination? It all didn't come true? Disappointment was written all over my face as I let out a big sigh.

At the breakfast table, everyone looked half-dead, probably thanks to yesterday's celebration. Luckily, Jin had cooked a hangover soup for which everyone felt a little bit better after drinking it.

Jin: So, did you guys remember what happened last night?

All: *shook their heads*

JH: I think I should be the one asking that, Jin hyung.

RM: Wae?

JH: I was the one who called for help - for manager hyung to come and pick us up.

RM: Jinja?!? I thought I teleport back.

JH: Hehe, you thought. Taehyung, and Jiminie were all rotting in the karaoke room. And I had to look after Yoongi hyung who was vomiting badly in the toilet.

RM: Haha jinja?!? I thought Yoongi hyung can hold his liquor quite well!!

JH: Don't comment about others Namjoon. YOU, and Jin hyung, claimed that you guys want to buy more snacks and drinks and end up going for a good one hour!!

SG: What were you guys doing huh??

JH: I even had to ask Kookie to search the entire shop for you two.

JM: So...so Kookie wasn't in the room when we were leaving?

JH: Aniyo, he was hunting for his mom and dad.

"Jinja...?" I uttered, and once again, it made me even more certain that the scene with Jungkook yesterday was all just a dream.

I turned to look at the maknae, who was quietly drinking his morning coffee. He did not participated in the conversation earlier, except for nodding his head when Hoseok hyung was narrating about last night.

Jungkook's POV

I took a sip of my coffee. I could sense Jimin hyung staring at me, and so, I purposely acted like I didn't notice. According to his facial expression, he probably has forgotten about last night. Ne, this is probably the best outcome. He shouldn't do that in the first place last night, he shouldn't have...done that with me...he shouldn't have told me how he felt...he shouldn't.

He was probably drunk, and you can't believe the words of someone who's just had few bottles of alcohol. He will eventually believe that none of our interactions happened. Yes, that's the best.

Indeed, after running out of the karaoke room, I bumped into Hoseok hyung, who was about to carry Yoongi hyung back to the room. After vomiting, Yoongi hyung became more sober, given how he could now complain about how irresponsible the Namjin couple were to dump us here without footing the bill first.

I volunteered to search Namjoon hyung and Jin hyung while they go back to get all the members out. When we got back home, the three sober memebrs - me, Hoseok hyung and Yoongi hyung - decided that we should split up look after them separately.

Naturally, Yoongi hyung had to look after his boyfriend, Jiminie hyung; while I used fifteen minutes to carry V hyung back to his bed and tug him in to sleep. Namjoon hyung and Jin hyung just quietly went to their rooms to rest, leaving poor Hoseok hyung who had to explain to manager hyung why we decided to drink alcohol although we were not allowed.

And that's probably why Hoseok hyung is so angry in the morning...

After breakfast, all of us went to do our own things. Dance practice with Mr Son only starts at 4pm, giving us ample time to rest and recover from the hangover.

Walking across the living room, I noticed V hyung standing at the balcony. Despite drinking his favourite coke, his face was somehow gloomy. Something's not right. 

I recalled how V hyung ignored me in the morning when I passed him a cup of coffee; how he chose to sit far away from me at the dining table which he usually don't; and how didn't pester me to play video games with him right after breakfast.

Quietly, I approached him and stood beside him. "V hyung..." I said.

He turned to look at me, before rolling his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked worryingly.

Like just now, he did not answer me. Instead, he walked away and straight to the kitchen. Not gonna give up like that, I followed him right behind.

"Why aren't you talking to me hyung?" I held onto his arm before he dump his coke can.

"Let go," he uttered, still refusing to look at me.

"Not until you tell me what's wrong with you hyung."

"Nothing's wrong."

"I don't believe."

"That's your business."

"Hyung!!" I shouted, "can you please tell me what exactly happened? Like how you always force me to say out my unhappiness. For once, now, please...don't ignore me."

"Fine," he looked straight into my eyes, "we need to talk."

Walking along a deserted alley behind our block, I kept staring at Taehyung hyung. He wasn't smiling like he usually do, and that scares me a little.

JK: So...hyung, what is it that made you so mad?

He sighed, as he looked down. "I saw it," he uttered under his breath.

JK:...saw...what?

V: I saw what happened yesterday.

JK: Y-yesterday?

V: Ne, in the karaoke room, you and Jimin.

JK: D-did you saw everything?

V: Ne. From how you landed on Jimin, to how he forced you into a kiss. And then how you ended up crying, and leaving the room hurriedly.

I closed my eyes and sighed. "Shit, he witnessed everything..." I thought to myself.

JK: T-that's why you're so angry, hyung?

V: Ne, you can say that.

JK: Wae? It...it doesn't even concerns you...

V: It doesn't concern me? Ne! No it doesn't! I did not just try so damn hard to help you get over Jimin, try so hard to protect you from getting hurt, and at the end of the day, you say it doesn't concern me at all?!?

"That's not what I meant hyung..." I uttered under my breath. V hyung became so agitated all of a sudden, and I know it's all thanks to my wrong choice of word. But too late, he is fuming now, a side of him which I hardly see.

V: I don't get why, why you suffer so much thanks to Jimin but when he simply beg you to not go, you will always give in and end up falling for him all over again.

JK: I didn't hyung, I did not fall for him again.

V: Or maybe I should say, you never stop loving him since day 1.

JK: I...I...it's not true.

V: Oh is it?

JK: Ne! Didn't you see how hard I tried to stay away from Jimin hyung? I tried, and you were the one who is always beside me, supporting me.

V: Then why? Why did you still kiss him yesterday?!?

JK: Because...because...I don't know...

V: You still want to his again?

JK: A-aniyo...I won't...

V: Stop lying to yourself Jeon Jungkook. As long as you still have feelings for Jimin, you will always get hurt, by him!!

JK: Wait...calm down hyung...why are you so...agitated?

V: I know me being mad here is freaking childish. Just because you kissed your ex, I hope he really is, doesn't really affect me actually. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at myself! Why can't I just calm the fuck and just let you suffer? The answer is...I can't. I hate to see you cry, I hate to see you being jealous over the couple, and I hate to see you loving Park Jimin with all your heart. Yes, I'm probably jealous at Jimin because I don't get why he is the one who gets all your love and attention and not me!

V hyung paused to take a breath. I was too shocked to even reply him. His last sentence...what- what does that mean?

He stared hard at me and said, "I'm tired of loving you Kookie," before walking away.

With teary eyes, I saw how he took a big step away from me, and continued to walk further away from me. His back became smaller and smaller, but I could still clearly see him wiping his face.

Tearless V hyung actually cried...because me...

I shook my head as tears became rolling down my cheeks. "Kajima hyung," I shouted, "kajima, don't leave me alone...I can't...I can't..."

I stared at him and continued to shake my head. My heart is in pieces now. I didn't expect him walking away from me could cause such an impact. All I know is...I don't want him to go, I don't want him to leave me alone.

At this moment, he stopped. He stopped walking, he placed his feet together, before turning around.

"Please..." I mumbled before wiping my tears with my knuckles, "Please hyung, kajima."

V hyung became to walk towards me, walking faster and faster, and then breaking into a sprint straight into my direction. I ran too, and fell into his embrace.

"Hyung~" I cried, the corner of my lips slowly curving upwards, "hyung..."

"Sorry for making you cry Kookie," he said, "Mianhe..."

"Ani, I should be the one apologizing...mianhe...I shouldn't have made you angry."

"Aniyo, I shouldn't have vent my anger on you Kookie."

"Hyung~," I said between sobs, "gumawol, thank you for not leaving me alone..."

"Pabo, I promise that I'll protect you forever, and I'll keep to it."

"Thank you for loving me hyung."

"I may be tired of loving you, but I'll never stop loving you."

"Hyung..."

"No matter what you will, I'll support you. No matter who you love, even if it's not me, I'll give you my blessing. And no matter who make you cry, I will lend you my shoulders and hug you as tight as possible."

"Gumawol hyung...gumawol..."

"Stop crying Kookie. I'm the hyung, and that is what I should do."

I looked up to him and saw how puffy and red his eyes are now due to all these crying. Holding on to his arms tightly, I swear I'll never let him go alone.

Being the taller one, he looked down and wiped the tears on my face. "I'll never ever let you cry because of me Kookie," he whispered.

"Promise?" I sniffed.

V hyung nodded his head, as he brought our faces closer to each other. His mouth came closer to mine, and my natural instinct was to close my eyes. And soon, I felt something soft on my lips.

Relaxing my tense lips, I felt hyung's lips curving upwards, and so did mine. He pulled my body even closer, while I wrapped my arms around his neck.

Soon, he extended his tongue, poking the entrance of my lips, for which I let him in readily. Our tongues got tangled together.

Little did I expect V hyung to be such a good kisser. How he skilfully explore every single part of my mouth, sucking my bottom lips, and ending off with small pecks at the corner of my lips.

I broke the kiss and stared at him in his eyes. "Hyung..."

"Wae?"

"I'm..." I shook my head, "I'm not...ready yet..."

"Gwenchana, I'll wait, I'll wait till that day you fall in love with me..."

"Jinjaro?"

"Ne. I've waited for you this long, I don't mind waiting for you longer..."

"But- but is it worth it?"

"Ne, it is. I only have eyes for you Kookie. I'll make you mine."
