Suga's POV

With the takeaway version of Jajangmyeon on my left hand, I use the other to open the main door. Stepping into the house but Jungkook was nowhere to be seen. Right, he's sick, he should be resting on his bed.

After I take off my shoes, my phone vibrated, it was from Jin hyung.

"Yoboseyo?"

"Yoongi ah, where are you?"

"I'm back at the dorm."

"Wae yo?"

"I bought some food for Kookie. It's already 3pm and he must be famished."

"Ahh arraso, just remember to get back here by 5 for dance practice."

"Ne hyung."

Stuffing the phone into my back pocket, I placed the jajangmyeon on the dining table before walking to Kookie's room. His room door was left ajar. But just when I was going to push it open, I had this ominous feeling. My hands froze there; one part of me stopped me from pushing further, while the other part just force me to check it out.

And before I could make the decision, I heard a voice, a familiar one, and definitely not Kookie.

"Listen to me and get back to sleep, arraso?"

"Then what about you hyung?"

"Hyung is gonna stay here and accompany you."

"Hajima, I wouldn't be able to sleep with you staring at me."

"But...but I can't leave you alone...what if you break another bowl again? what if you hurt yourself again? what if-"

"I'm not Namjoon hyung~ I'll be alright. Plus, don't you have dance practice today?"

"Mr Son shifted it 5pm, I still have some time to spare."

"But isn't it a waste of time staring at me sleeping?"

"Aniyo!! I find that interesting actually."

"But I don't! Hyung~ you're stressing me out. What if I drool? Or snore? Or sleep talk?"

"It's not like I never seen any of those before..."

By then, I was pretty certain who was the two having this conversation. Why is Jimin here? Wasn't he supposed to be having his vocal lesson? And why...why did they sound so close all of a sudden? Kookie promised me to keep a distance between them two, and he did...but why now? Why...why do I have this bad feeling?

I pushed the door softly, slightly bigger enough for me to get a clear view of the situation inside.

My heart stopped, for a moment, followed by a sharp pain on my left chest. Inside the room was Jimin, and Jungkook, lying on the same bed. The single-sized bed obviously can't fit those two, but they seem to be liking the limited space. Jimin had his back resting on the bed frame, while Jungkook rested his head comfortably on his hyung's chest.

And that clearly don't look right to me. Jimin continued to play with the maknae's hair, while Jungkook slowly close his eyes, still with a smile on his face.

My legs felt weak, and soon my whole body too. No, I wasn't gonna dash in and ruin this romantic moment of theirs. I quickly turn my back away, to be out of sight, before leaning my back against the wall. My legs could no longer support me, as my body slowly slide down. I had totally no idea what was I doing, and all I know was to not make my presence to be known.

My heart felt like a wet towel being twisted to make it dry, I could feel my blood dripping. The feeling was numb yet painful at the same time. As much as I was hurt, tears just couldn't seem to flow out, probably still in the state of shock.

The current me did not have energy to figure out what happened to them, but the image of them lying on the bed just kept appearing in my mind.

Everything felt like deja vu, like what happened yesterday. When I walked out of the practice studio, when I saw Jungkook running out of the lift frantically, followed by Jimin with a blank face. Them being together in the lift was already weird enough, and the fact that Jungkook was wiping his lips as he sprinted out just doesn't make sense to me. 

I refuse to think further, I tried so hard to stop my thoughts, I forbid myself from making assumption. But...but after catching them on the bed together, although still had their clothes on, am I still gonna act dumb and just think that Jimin is reading bed time story for our baby maknae?

My hands were trembling and clenching my fist just didn't help. After so much effort did I finally managed to support myself up and walk to the kitchen. The jajangmyeon on the table...I guess it's useless now. I'm the extra one here, I should be here. 

Actually...not just here...I shouldn't be in this complex three-way relationship in the first place. I'm the one who separated those two from being together. Ne...as the hyung...I should be wishing them happiness, and not be the evil stepmother who pull them apart.

I...shouldn't be here in the first place...

  ☆☆☆ 

I rested against the wall, looking at the clock every few seconds. It's 10 minutes to 5, dance practice is gonna start soon and Jimin isn't here yet. 

Are he still at home with Jungkook? Are they still lying on the same bed? Are they still hugging each other? 

Numerous questions started to pop out and I did not want to answer neither of them. The scene appeared in my head, although it was just a short peek, I could still remember clearly how they on, lying on the same bed with smiles on their faces. 

What should I do now? I should have know that something must be going on since yesterday when Jimin ran out to chase Kookie. I should have prepared myself for such situation and yet, I refuse to believe that this day would come. 

I used all my might to brainwash myself that they do not love each other anymore, I pulled myself away whenever they make that slight eye contact, which was full of pain and reluctance. I tried to make things as nice as possible just to avoid catching them in action...but sadly, I still did. 

"I should..." I whispered to myself, "We should...end it...now?"

"Aniyo, maybe it's just a misunderstanding Min Yoongi, you shouldn't be so impulse, maybe...you just get things sorted out first."

"But...it was so clearly that they are back together now. They're lying on the same bed for goodness sake, hugging each other like there's no tomorrow."

"Isn't it normal for guys to do that? Taehyung also often sneak into Jungkook's room and lie on his bed...there's nothing wrong with that..."

While engaged in this self monologue, the door suddenly opened. There, stood Jimin, while his cap covering his face. He closed the door softly, and made no announcement to his arrival like he usually do. 

"Jimin ah," Taehyung called out, "where did you go for the entire afternoon?"

Jimin looked up slowly, his eyes scanning through everyone in the room, and it landed on me. Our eyes met, but for that mere second before he quickly turn away. 

"I...I..." he's stuttering, and I hate this omnious feeling. "I...I went for vocal lesson," he explained. 

His eyes went back to me again, that wavering pair of eyes that's full of guilt. I stared back at him, and used my eyes to say "Why are you lying, Jimin?"

But apparently, he did not get the message.

Soon, Hoseok gathered everyone to the centre of the room to do some stretching. As we sat down on the floor and spread our leg apart, Taehyung suddenly said, "Oh, I wonder how's Kookie."

Jin: I called him just now, he said he's fine. 

RM: I hope he really is. He actually collapsed at the staircase yesterday when we found him. 

JH: Who even uses staircase when there's a lift?

RM: Maybe his fever has burnt half of his brain.

Jin: *sigh* I took his temperature this morning and it was 39 degrees.

V: Wow that's pretty high.

Jin: Ne. And uri Kookie don't know how to look after his body. I wonder if he has taken his medicine. 

JM: He did, hyung, don't worry.

Jin: How do you know?

Instantly, everyone turned to Jimin. I totally not surprise for blur Jimin to just blurt out something like that. He was supposed to be having his 'vocal lesson' and not 'sleeping with Kookie'. 

I rolled my eyes unknowingly, before staring back at him again. 

Jimin's POV

"I...I..." I began to stutter again, "h- he...he..."

Damn it Jimin, why didn't you think properly before giving a reply?!? 

"He said he took it before he went to sleep," I explained before wiping that cold sweat on my forehead. 

Jin: Jinja? You went home?

JM: Huh? A-aniya...I...

V: You called him? 

Damn...this is a trick question. I took a quick peek at Yoongi hyung, who was pretending to be stretching his arms but his ears were wide opened. 

If I say I called him...andwae...I promised Yoongi hyung not to call Kookie unless necessary.

And if I tell the truth and said I went home...andwae andwae!! Yoongi hyung will definitely be mad. 

"I...I use telepathy to remind him," I bull-shitted out something and it totally sounded ridiculous. 

Fake laughs from the members did I finally managed to breathe again. Shaking his head, Jin hyung stood up and said, "I better call to remind him."

"Andwae, hyung," I stopped, "he's sleeping right now."

Jin tilted his head and stared at me blankly again, "How do you know?"

That's it! Park Jimin...arghhh how dumb are you exactly? Stop blurting out everything!! I clenched my fist and smiled embarrassingly, "I guess...?"

I quickly scrambled to the side frantically , not forgetting to look at Yoongi hyung one last time. Oh no...should I approach him? D-did he find out anything? 

Taking a few steps towards hyung, I reached out to his shoulders. However, before I could call him, he turned around. His face...looked stern. He wasn't smiling at all, but more like troubled. I wanted to ask what's wrong but then...my instinct tells me that I'll probably the cause of it. 

"Hyung..." I mumbled. 

"Ne?"

"You...you seems different today."

"I wonder who's the one who changed first."

"Huh?"

"Aniyo," he looked down and sighed. Something definitely happened. Avoiding my eyes, he looked away and whispered, "Meet me in my studio after practice, I got something for you."

A/N: I'll be posting the next chapter soon!!
