Jimin's POV-

After one last walk through Tae's place we loaded into the car and headed to the restaurant, which was unanimously prioritized as stop one.

Following our amazing meal that I'm already craving more of, we stopped to fill up on gas before finally leaving the city.

Tae was kind enough to offer to drive and we are making good time with him in the driver's seat, myself in the passenger seat and Jungkookie, who immediately after getting in the car curled up with Tae's pillow, is fast asleep in the back and has been for an hour now.

I understand his exhaustion. He has had a day from hell... A hell we put him through.

Just remembering the look on his face makes my heart clench... How could we do that to him?

Then again, I have to remind myself that we didn't know. We still don't really know. It's absolutely not his fault for not telling us as I'm sure he has his reasons, but we thought he just had a little crush on Jin.

We knew they had a disagreement a few weeks before Jin went back home but we had no idea it was something big enough that he would still be so affected by it. Something big enough to hold onto for all this time.

Him being upset with Jin at least had some sort of explanation though. I was completely thrown off by the tension between he and Namjoon. What the hell was that?!

They were so close, which is saying a lot when it comes to Jungkookie. He hardly lets anyone close to him.

I was never really good friends with Namjoon but I always admired and was thankful for how he took care of Jungkookie.

When he lived with Jungkookie my family was going through a hard time. My parents were in the middle of a very tumultuous divorce and I hardly had any free time outside of school to spend with my friends while I took care of my younger brother.

Namjoon showed up like a blessing from heaven and I couldn't have been more thankful. I didn't have to worry about Jungkookie because he had someone he let close enough to take care of him.

He was always so nice to Jungkookie, helping him nearly everyday with his homework or whatever he needed help with.

I smile to myself as I remember how Jungkookie would get so annoyed when Tae would go on and on about Jin before he came to stay with him when he turned out to be even worse when Namjoon came into his life.

I don't think he did it on purpose, but you couldn't really have any length conversation with Jungkookie without him talking about his Hyung at least once.

If Namjoon came up (or he had the chance to talk about him) he would beam at the mention of him and go on and on about his beloved Hyung.

He not only adored but idolized him. I wonder what changed.

Suddenly a thought comes to mind... Namjoon is with Jin now. I wonder if Jungkookie could be jealous? Did he use to have feelings for Namjoon? Does he still? Does he still like Jin?

As I sit silently asking question after question in my mind I feel someone nudge my shoulder.

I am taken out of my dazed state and it's then I realize that for who knows how long I have been completely zoned out while Tae has been going off on one of his tangents.

"I am so sorry, but can you repeat that?" I answer apologetically.

"Seriously Chim?! Ugh, what's the last thing you heard?" He huffs with an exaggerated eye roll.

Suddenly put on the spot, I try to replay the last few minutes to think if any random words Tae said may have slipped through my subconscious.

"Um, you were talking about a guy you liked... from school?" I say with an obvious expression that shows I'm completely guessing.

"What?" He scoffs, "I don't know him personally. God, if only I was so lucky. No, I was asking if you had listened to any of his songs."

"He's a singer?" I stupidly blurt out without thinking.

"No he's a rapper! Agust D. I told you and Jungkookie about him months ago. I sent you both the link to his SoundCloud remember? I love him. He basically changed my life." He huffs before saying under his breath, "Fucking Namjoon won't introduce me to him... ass."

"Oh..." I sit staring at my lap, trying my best to remember who he was talking about and how Namjoon got brought into this, but I'm not able to come up with anything.

"I shouldn't be surprised really. I don't think either of you pay attention to a thing I say... Or what I look like." He spits out, glaring at the road ahead.

"What are you talking about? That's not true and you know it." I answer back, getting a bit annoyed at his attitude.

"Oh is that so?" He chuckles bitterly.

A silence settles between us before he yells out.

"BLUE!"

"... Huh?" is the only thing I am able to mutter before my eyes widen in realization.

Oh shit. His hair. Before I can open my mouth to even begin to apologize he is yelling again.

"MY GODDAMN HAIR IS BLUE AND NEITHER OF YOU HAVE SAID A THING!"

Oh no. I am not prepared for an angry Kim Taehyung. Not today.

"Taetae," I start my speech with the most calming tone I can muster "I am very sorry that I hurt your feelings..."

I peak to the back seat hoping with all my heart that Jungkookie is awake for some support- Shit.

Instead of seeing an awake and alert Jungkookie, I turn to see his dumb handsome sleeping face.

He really must have been tired to sleep through this emotional breakdown. A breakdown I am going to have to handle alone.

I'm a bit rusty when it comes to talking Tae down from a fit as he usually calls Jungkookie when he's upset, but I'll do my best.

I turn back to Tae, taking a deep breath before continuing, "I'm sure Jungkookie would agree when I tell you how sorry we both are. I promise we did not mean to make you feel ignored.

"But Tae, you do understand that a lot has happened today, right? We have been stuck on an emotional roller coaster that has not stopped." I pause as I remember something actually good that happened today that should help calm him down.

"It started from the second you ran out of your house and slammed yourself against the wrong car and has not slowed down since." I add, feeling relieved when I see the corner of his mouth raise slightly as he remembers scaring the shit out of his neighbors.

Slowly his angry scowl cracks and he can no longer hold back his boxy smile as we both begin to laugh at the memory. As I continue to giggle Tae turns to me with a much softer expression.

"You're right. I didn't really think about that." He paused before adding "I was being selfish wasn't I." He adds, delivering it more as a statement than a question.

"You are not the only one that acted selfishly today Tae." I sigh, my smile dropping when I am reminded again of my poor sleeping friend in the backseat.

Tae seemed to have noticed as he spoke up again. "Why did I have to do that? Why didn't I realize how stupid it was."

"It wasn't just you Tae. We both fucked up."

After a few silent moments Tae speaks up again, "We have to do something. Something big. Huge, to make it up to him."

"We will." I state, sharing a determined look with Tae before we both turn our attention back to the road in front of us.

"Something big." I repeat.
