When they arrived at the dorm, they found Yoongi asleep in an awkward position on the living room couch and grimacing in his sleep as he curled up against a cushion because of the draft brought in through the quickly closed front door.

     Feeling guilty, Jin went to get a blanket and covered the rapper who had waited for them most of the night to make sure they would get home safely. But at least, they didn't have to argue with him or anyone that night, and it suited them just fine.

     During the last hours of the night, Jungkook took care of his nose as best he could by cleaning the wound and putting a band-aid. Then, he and Jin fall asleep side by side in the older's room. 

    The exhaustion and the reassuring presence of the maknae allowed Jin to quickly fell asleep, without preventing him from having the worst nightmares that Lee was always present in. If Jungkook hadn't been such a deep sleeper, he would have sensed Jin's restlessness in his sleep.

     But the night promessed to be short for them and indeed, less than two hours later their alarm clock rang, as they were dragged out of bed by an early morning awakening due to a very busy schedule. 

      Jungkook returned to his room to get ready and before leaving he looked at his bed, unable to suppress his memories of the night Lee had attacked Jin. He didn't know when he would have the courage to go back to sleep in this room. Hell, he didn't know how he was going to be able to look Lee in the eye and hold back from punching him until he publicly confessed what he had done and went to jail.

     Arriving at the kitchen and seeing gloomy faces turn towards him, Jungkook understood that their escape from the day before was already no longer a secret thanks to the groupies from the day before.

     "How is you nose ?" Jimin asked looking at Jungkook's nose from which he removed his band-aid now useless.

     "Good. I fell last night, but I was able to catch up to Jin hyung and limit the damage. In a few days it will no longer appear," Jungkook explained, stroking his nose where appeared scratches recovered with a thin crust of blood.

     "Did you fall on your 'Jinkook date'?" Taehyung said bitterly as he showed Jungkook his phone screen where Jin and Jungkook were seen huddled together in front of their table at the convenience store where their finished ramyeon wrapper still lay.

     "Why does they have to give that title, I told them to stop!" Jungkook got exasperated.

     "Did you really have to do this to get revenge on us, Jungkook?" Taehyung exclaimed. "Without considering how dangerous it could be?"

     "Why would I take revenge like that? My reputation is at stake more than yours here as far as I know!" Jungkook fumed, "I only wanted to make Jin hyung happy after what the stress had been through!"

     "Yeah, because giving him a nocturnal walkabout is so much less stressful than spending the night in the dorm with us!" Taehyung replied. 

     "You think I wanted this to happen?! It was 3 am, how could I know there would be so many people outside at that time?!"

     "It's Seoul and you were in a convenience store, of course there were people!!" Taehyung cried out at himself.

     "Taehyung calm down, it's no use shouting, what's done is done," Jimin calmed him down. "Jungkook will have to accept the consequences whatever they are, he needs you by his side, not against him."

     "Why are you always defending him?" Taehyung replied, "You know very well that it's not him who will bear the consequences of his actions, it's Jin hyung again."

     Jungkook opened his eyes wide to this statement and suddenly threw himself on Taehyung whom he brutally grabbed by the collar.

     "What are you implying?" he growled as Jimin and Hoseok rushed to separate them. 

   "I don't know maybe you're taking advantage of your position of favorite to grant yourself certain freedoms to the detriment of an other person?"

     "What did you say?!" the maknae roared in anger.

     "You heard me!"

     "Tae, he just went to the convenience store, he didn't kill anyone, stop getting carried away!" Jimin exclaimed, amazed to see the proportions it was taking. "And by the way, he's the one who came home injured, not hyung, can't you be a bit more empathetic and think about how he must be feeling too?"

     "No, he said he was going to take the consequences of his actions so I'm going to start letting him take them right away," Taehyung said, quieter though, staring intently at Jungkook who never took his angry eyes off him.

    "Jungkook, let go of Taehyung now, this isn't like you to behave like that." Hoseok said, before adding saddly: "Yesterday, Yoongi hyung told you to come home immediately. None of this would have happened if you had just listened, you know?"

    Annoyed, Jungkook let go of Taehyung and turned to Yoongi who had his back to him, sitting on a chair in front of the kitchen table and who had remained silent during this fight, leaving Jimin and Hoseok to deal with it by themselves. He sported almost the same dark circles as Jungkook, a sign that he had only fallen asleep shortly before they came home.

      "Go ahead lecture me too, I'm ready," Jungkook ordered defiantly.

     "I have nothing to tell you, I'll let you think for yourself for once," Yoongi replied without looking up from his coffee. "I'm tired of trying to reason with you, you have become unbearable."

     Strangely, this made Jungkook even more uncomfortable, he would have preferred Yoongi to yell at him end one way and then receive his support and advice, as the other used to do.

     "Where is Namjoon hyung?" he asked Jimin, eager to talk to him to clear things up with him.

     "He's alking to Han in the living room. I think Jin hyung is with him because he wanted to talk to them both," Jimin added, still placed between Taehyung and Jungkook to prevent any too virulent discussion. "I imagine that if they didn't jump here when they heard your argument, it's because their conversation is just as tense."

    "Hey, don't go, if it is to make the situation worse for Jin hyung," Taehyung shouted, seeing Jungkook rushing out of the room, but couldn't stop Jungkook from coming out as Jimin held him back and shook his head. 

       The youngest glared at Taehyung before to disappear down the hall.

     He found the Han, Jin and Namjoon in the living room which seemed to be a temporary courtroom for Jin and Namjoon's trial. Jin's tired face could have been a reflection of Jungkook's, but that did not soften the heart of the manager, on the contrary? 

     He heard Han's disapproving tone addressed to Jin and Namjoon and was suddenly glad that it was he who was here and not Lee in front of Jin. Jungkook swallowed hard when he remembered Lee: what was he going to do when he found out that Jin and him had embarrassed the company again?

     "And look at your face," Han continued, obviously following a long succession of reprimands, "it's clear that you spent the night outside. You have a photo shoot this afternoon, have you forgotten? Or maybe you thought you'd still be left to rest as yesterday?"     

   "Don't be so harsh hyung, Jin hyung is just recovering from his anxiety attack yesterday," Namjoon protested, "Don't add extra stress on him."

     "Oh please stop it, Seokjin chose to put himself in this situation. And he dragged Jungkook with him, like always."

     "No, that's not what happened!" Namjoon defended him. "It was Jungkook who wanted to go out with him and Jin hyung just agreed."

     Han coldly looked at Jin who approved with a weak nod of his head what Namjoon had just said. There was a time when Jin would have lied to protect Jungkook but the fear of being guilty and suffering the fury of the man who haunted him prevented him this time.

     "And you think that makes you less guilty? It was your responsibility to stop him if he wanted to do something he shouldn't!"

     "I already said I was sorry, what more do you want me to tell you?" Jin defendend himself, "it was a little outing to the convenience store, we didn't go to a nightclub, what's the matter? When did we dishonor the company?"

    "I advise you not to be insolent Seokjin, you are not in a position to be," his manager warned him.

     "Hyung," Namjoon intervened putting a hand on Jin's knee to stop him from intervening, hoping to redirect Han's anger away from Jin, "I was the one who let them out, they had spent the day cooped up at home and they needed to get some fresh air before today's busy day."

     His lie had the effect of a punch to Jungkook who knew that he was the only one responsible, neither Namjoon nor Jin was.

     "Then you're an idiot like them Namjoon," Han replied, "but it's worse since you have a responsibility that they don't have. If you're not able to keep your group under control, maybe that means the leadership position wasn't for you."

     "Hey, you can't say that, Namjoon hyung did nothing wrong!" Jungkook suddenly said with anger, causing the other three to turn around.

     Annoyed by his unwanted appearance, Namjoon and Jin, who would have wanted this discussion to happen without him who has been a fireball lately and who wasn't going to let them protect him, tried to silence him and let them lead the discussion to make things go better. But Jungkook was tired of letting others decide for him.

     "No, I won't be silent! Why does everyone tell me to take my responsibilities but no one lets me take them?!"

     "Because you are their responsibility!" Han said, "Seokjin is the eldest and Namjoon is the leader; you, on the other hand, you are the main singer and the maknae of your group, if something really dramatic had happened to you, what would they have done, huh?! Come on, look at the state of your face, you almost came home with a broken nose!"

     Jin et Namjoon froze, realizing what Han had just implied and it angered Jungkook even more to see his two eldest being called to order in his place and Han put him on a pedestal while the others were put down. 

     Taehyung thought he was taking advantage of his position to do whatever he wanted without thinking about the consequences on his hyungs. But it was wrong. He never wanted this.

     "Hyung, don't act like you care about my safety, it's always a matter of public appearance with you. You're just mad about the "jinkook date", admit that, you think I didn't understand?!" he brought out.

    He knew he was speaking loud enough that the discussion would clearly reach the ears of the members who were in the kitchen and that was what he wanted. He wanted Yoongi and Taehyung to hear him take responsibility and deal with the company himself.

   "That's something else, but let's talk about it since you put the subject on the table!" Han said with anger. "Do you know what people say by the thousands, as we speak? That Seokjin and you are a couple and you go out at night to avoid gossip. Now people want to scour Seoul's convenience stores every night for a chance to surprise you both."

     "Nothing new, I don't see why you are panicking!" Jungkook said in an almost contemptuous tone that didn't escape his manager. "These rumors have always existed and they haven't hurt us until now, that's not a problem."

     "No Jungkook it's not A problem, it's one of the problems. An accumulation of them. You go out at night without bodyguards, you are seen alone with Seokjin giving free rein to people's imagination and you behave badly with your fans!"

      "I behave baddly?! What about them ?!" Jungkook rose up.

    "Don't put the problem on them, you know very well that it is you who are being scrutinized, not them. They think that if you showed up so disagreeable with them, it's because you were too protective of Seokjin."

     "So what? I don't have the right to protect my hyung, is that a crime?!"

     Outraged, Han stood up and glared at Jungkook from his full height pointing a finger which he tapped violently against Jungkook's chest which wobbled slightly.

     "Frankly, what is this attitude Jungkook? Is that why you wanted Seokjin to stay? To be able to continue on the same decadent slope? I really should have opposed his keeping in the group in that case, but Lee insisted saying that from now on you will behave better. He's not going to be happy he was wrong, you can be sure of that."

     This time it was Jin and Jungkook who froze at the same time. Jin gave Jungkook a pleading look: the maknae absolutely had to stop provoking Han or it was going to end badly for them.

    "That's not true, Jungkook had no bad intentions, he just wanted to-" Jin hastened to deny but Namjoon stopped him with a gesture. Now that Jungkook had started, it was better to let him finish.

     Looking at Jin then at Han, Jungkook felt cornered. He felt like Han had just added Lee's name as a dastardly threat and now Jin was scared. He couldn't continue to confront his manager. So he took it upon himself and said as calmly as possible, but in a trembling voice that tried to suppress all traces of anger:

     "Look hyung, I'm sorry for what happened, it's unfortunate, but it wasn't intentional."

     His attitude surprised Namjoon who expected Jungkook to continue speaking his mind.

      "Intentional or not, we must repair the broken pots because an idol who behaves badly with his fans always risks being removed from the favors of his fans and leading his group to decay," Han replied. "The company will make an announcement denying the dating rumors and you will also make an announcement in which you will apologize to your fans for your behavior and deny the rumors. This is how you are going to take responsibility, you understood?"

     "No, I won't do that."

     Han, Namjoon and Jin looked at him with wide eyes. Jungkook couldn't help himself. For Jin's sake, he was ready to apologize to Han, to Namjoon, to all the members of his group, but he didn't want to give reason to those who thought they were free to ruin his life and decided what he had the right or not to do. He had done nothing wrong, he just went to eat ramyeons!

     "Jungkook, we'll make the apology video together, you won't be alone, don't worry," Jin said hurriedly.

     "No, we won't make an apology video," Jungkook repeated.

     "Do you think I'm asking your opinion?!" Han exclaimed. 

     "It's up to them to apologize, not me, not Jin hyung," the young singer argued, stubborn.

     "And who do you think you are, you ungrateful kid?! Do you think you are above your fans?! Are you forgetting what you owe them?! You give yourself an importance that you don't have, without them you still have your talent but nothing else, you can't be an idole. It only takes one wrong step to ruin a band, one scandal and everything you and the others have built together so hard will be destroyed with disconcerting ease!"

     "I don't forget anything, I know what I owe them but that doesn't make them masters of me." Jungkook replied.

     "Wait and see what happens with that kind of thinking. Well, that's what I'd like to tell you but I can't just sit back and see you ruin everything."

      Han seemed really concerned about that reputation issue just as he seemed really committed to his position, Jin couldn't figure out if he was really aware of what Lee had done to him. 

     "I've had enough of being threatened, I'm going to talk to Army," Jungkook finally agreed, "but it won't be to apologize, it will be to remind them of certain rules of decency to respect towards us."

     "You insolent brat!" Han stormed, loosing his temper. 

     "Hey, sorry to interrupt," Hoseok said from the hallway, "but if we don't leave now, we'll be really late." 

     "Shit!" Han exploded looking at his watch, "get up boys, we're leaving for now, but this conversation is far from over."

     Jin and Namjoon gave Hoseok a grateful smile, he had arrived just when the storm was really going to rage. Hoseok gave them a wink and even Jungkook suddenly seemed to catch his breath: it was not easy to sustain such an intense discussion with Han.

    Han lead them to the center of Seoul where they were to give an interview for a national radio station before going to the photography studio for one of their sponsors.

     They first went to the company premises to prepare their public image and were left in the care of hairdressers, makeup artists, and stylists who also took care of  hiding the scabs of blood on Jungkook's nose and concealing Jin's visible injuries, without questioning. Only one make-up artist dared to ask him where these marks came from, to which he replied by lying:

     "I fell like Jungkook when I went out with him yesterday and I took a few kicks on the way, nothing very serious, Soo noona, don't worry." 

     The young woman, who had already seen the videos broadcast by the fans present that night, had not seen Jin fall with Jungkook and she doubted that Jin was telling the whole truth on the origin of his injuries but after all, she could not help it if Jin did not want to tell her, she had to stay professional. 

     Under the clothes, Jin had masked every bite Lee inflicted him under a large band-aid, that her stylist had looked at with wide eyes but no one else had seen. The bleeding had given way to the scars in a tight row still strewn with scabs of blood and Jin, although still dressed head to toe, had preferred to keep them hidden under the band-aid, although that wouldn't make things any less suspicious in case of discovery by other members while they changed in the dressing room where privacy was almost non-existent. Still, it was best they didn't look too closely.

     He hoped the traces would fade over time, not wishing to keep this man's mark on him forever, though they were deep and his hope was slim. He shuddered at remembering the pain when the teeth dug into his flesh but didn't allow himself time to scroll through the memory of that evening again and frantically shook his head to chase it from his mind, under the desperate gaze of the hairdresser. He'd had enough nightmares last night, he didn't want to pursue them while awake.

    In the van, the communications officer and their manager reminded them of certain rules to be observed during the interview and certain taboo issues to be avoided, notably the subject of military service.

     "But Jin hyung isn't going anymore, so why not tell the fans?" Hoseok asked. "It would make them happy!"

     "Because it's still a delicate subject in Korea, you know that," Han explained, "We don't want to stir up controversy or jealousy from other bands and companies, especially when the start of the tour is getting close. We will wait until the end of the year to announce it. So you have to deflect the question and as it is more than likely to be asked of you, Seokjin, this task will be yours, can you do that ?" He looked at Jin through the rearview mirror.

    "No problem," the singer assured, his voice devoid of emotion. He was at the back of the van, between Jungkook and Taehyung who had insisted on sitting at the back with them.

     Wearing makeup, with his hair styled and dressed as he was, he felt filled with his usual confidence as a visual of the group. He still suffered occasionally from the wounds inflicted by Lee but he no longer winced and was able to put on a facade smile that didn't fool everyone but most of people. 

     Talking to Han was costing him because he knew he was the one who had sent Lee to the dorm to avenge Jungkook's threats. Although he still had doubts about his involvement in the rape that Lee had inflicted on him, he could not see Han as before. In her eyes, he had become so detestable and repugnant. And if he knew everything, how could he address him like nothing had happened? Was Lee also going to pretend it was nothing when he saw him, all to keep up appearances?

     After this short answer, Jin fell silent again. Jungkook also remained abnormally silent and this situation appealed to Jimin and Hoseok who always shared giggles from the duo's jokes and games during their road trip. 

     Namjoon, Yoongi and Taehyung had finally revealed to them that the discussion of the day before had led to no answer to their questions and that it was better for the moment to leave the two boys alone because Jungkook seemed on edge and ready to pounce at the slightest word while Jin looked like he could crumble at any moment and they didn't want to stress him out, preferring to wait a bit before questioning him further.

      That day however, despite the admonitions Han had inflicted on him in the dorm when he woke up, Jin seemed to be better, no doubt thanks to the good care of Jungkook who had spent the previous day with him in the dorm where he had made sure that the eldest rested and then the night at the beach and in Seoul. The other member thought that Jin might be ready to answer their new questions shortly.

     When they arrived and started to get off the van one by one, Jungkook instinctively grabbed Jin's hand as he passed Han, as if he wanted to protect him from any malevolence of man. Being the only one to have seen that, Taehyung twitched. Jin gently squeezed Jungkok's hand but quickly released it before entering the station's premises, following their manager. 

     They settled down in their dressing room where they also received the final adjustments to their appearance and then took their places around a round table in the recording studio, each facing a microphone and headphones on. 

     Jin found himself again between Taehyung and Jungkook under the dismayed gaze of Yoongi and Namjoon who sensed the birth of a bad drama. Taehyung's distrust of the maknae was so strong in their eyes that it seemed to evaporate through every pore of his body. Yet Jin and Jungkook, immersed in their own world, didn't seem to have noticed and ignored the others for the moment.

     The company's cameramen positioned themselves in the recesses of the room to begin filming under Han's supervision, and the two previously apathetic members suddenly awoke and adopted their usual behavior: smiling, and to a lesser extent chatty and playful. After all, they were public communication professionals.

     Finally, the radio hosts arrived, introducing themselves enthusiastically before starting the show. This was divided into two parts: a first part where the questions were asked by the hosts and another where the questions were asked by the listeners to their favorite members.

     The questions followed and then a question already asked several years ago was asked of a smiling Jin:

      "Jin, you are the oldest member of BTS and you take care of all of your members but who do you love the most?"

     Jin pretended to think so as not to hurt his other members, but his answer hadn't changed in all of his years. He gave Jungkook a smile, genuine this time, and grabbed his hand before turning back to the host who had asked the question:

     "I love all of my members but I love Jungkook the most."

    It was no surprise to any of the members who still looked disappointed because to receive the love of the oldest was something precious in their eyes, and Jungkook gave the older ones his bunny smile before placing his second hand on his, which he stroked affectionately.

   "And I love Jin hyung," Taehyung suddenly intervened, grabbing Jin's other hand, to everyone's surprise. He gave a look of tenderness to a dumbfounded Jin then a look of defiance to Jungkook, also taken aback. "And I protect him."

    "Oooh, how cute!" A cheerful female host exclaimed looking at Jin surrounded by the two maknae, "it looks like a very beautiful love triangle from a drama!"

     Jungkook was about to retort that it wasn't a triangle until he claimed he loved Taehyung who loved Jin, but one of the hosts was quicker to speak:

      "Yes," he approved, "the two youngests seem very attached to the eldest but it is ultimately very sad because we imagine that your beautiful trio will be separated very soon by the military service of Jin. How do you prepare this separation?"

     Jungkook's face suddenly twitched and the other members froze of apprehension. Why did this question have to remain so sensitive for the youngest?

    "We're not planning anything at all,"he retorted harshly and the hosts in turn tensed, sensing they had struck a chord and better not insist.

     Sensing Jungkook's burgeoning feverishness, Jin, who was also unusually shaken by the question, realized he had to speak up quickly to defuse the bomb that was becoming the maknae. 

     He released his hands and rested them, trembling, on the rod of his microphone attached to the table to give himself some composure. Then, to his horror and his members', he began to stutter live on the radio:

     "We d-don't th-think about it r-right n-now b-because we are v-very b-busy. "

      The discomfort was noticeable and if Jin wanted to disappear underground at this point, the other members  gave him a dismayed look and Han who clapped a hand to his face in exasperation, aware that the confusion was going to make the matter even more suspicious in the eyes of those scrutinizing BTS regarding the special exemption from military service.

      Namjoon hastened to intervene:

     "We'd rather not think about it yet, just enjoy the moment together and focus on the projects we're on together, like our next songs and the upcoming tour."

     The relieved hosts gave the BTS leader a grateful look and were able to defuse the tension by striking up a conversation on the tour side. Jin was slightly shaking with anxiety at what had just happened and couldn't hide his dismay: he wanted to flee the studio right away, but he knew he had to stay. He hoped that he would not be asked to speak again because he did not feel capable of it.

     Jungkook dutifully massaged the back of his neck to reassure him as Taehyung, also aware of his distress, gently stroked his back with wide, circular motions. The eldest finally seemed to calm down but Jungkook preferred to leave his reassuring hand on Jin who seemed to need it.

     The second part of the show arrived and the members were happily questioned by their fans. Even Jin found a warm smile as he addressed them and no longer stammered. His fans filled him with a familiar self-confidence: after all, it was they who had transformed him into a few years from a shy, introvert and unconfident boy, to a young man aware of his charms and talents, happy and confident. 

     The other members were relieved to see him like this and Jungkook almost had the feeling that everything was back to normal, until a young fan wished to address him:

     "Jungkook oppa, you still didn't say who you like the most in the group. You like Taehyung oppa the most, right? Taekook is real?"

     Jungkook and Taehyung exchanged a glare. They had always been good friends and had never put up with having their friendship turned into a romantic relationship. But that day, they were so pissed at each other that Taehyung couldn't help but coldly reply in place of Jungkook:

     "Taekook doesn't exist, it's something you have to get out of your imagination!"

     "But it can't be Jin oppa!  the disappointed girl whimpered. 

     Hearing that somehow hurt Jin. He understood that the imagination of the fans pushes them to create couples within the group but he did not understand that this imagination takes precedence over reality and pushes their fans to believe that this or that member had less right to appreciate each other than an other member. Why did some people think he had no right to be so close to Jungkook? Because he was five years older?

     "Everyone only talks about yesterday's "Jinkook date", the girl continued, but that's wrong, isn't it? It can't be him that you like the most! Is this Jimin oppa?"

     "Why shouldn't it be Jin hyung?" Jungkook asked harshly as he tightened without realising it his hand around Jin's neck who winced under the frustrated pressure. But the maknae regretted asking, he was afraid of losing his temper in the face of his young fan who replied proudly:

     "Because you are perfect!"

     "Are you implying that Jin hyung isn't? Who are you to judge perfection? In my eyes, Jin hyung is perfect and I'm not!" Jungkook replied ignoring the bewildered gaze of its members. 

    "You are wrong oppa!" the girl denied.

     "I'm not, you ar-"

     "HA HA HA!" Hoseok exclaimed with excessive strength, cutting short the heavy exchange between the two, "we're perfect, it's only fitting that our fans think they've figured out what perfection is! Young Army, Jungkook loves all his hyungs, it's too hard for him to choose when they are all perfect in his eyes! Better not to force him to choose or he will fiercely defend them until you surrender, ha ha!"

     "Ha ha ! J-Hope oppa, you're funny! Alright, I get it, I love you all too!"

     Jimin thanked her and greeted her before the phone call was cut off. On the other side of the table, feeling that Jungkook's fingers did not release their hold on the back of his neck, Jin pinched his thigh under the table and Jungkook's body jerked in the sudden pain, withdrawing his hand at the same time, and uttering a surprised exclamation into his micro. 

     When he realized that his scream had been recorded, he also realized he had to justify himself, especially since the cameras were playing the footage back for the fans. So he temporarily became again the Jungkook everyone knew:

     "Jin hyung don't pinch! " he screamed.

     And Jin in turn became the Jin everyone knew when he exclaimed, instinctively following the maknae's plan:

     "Yaaaa! Why didn't you just say who your favorite hyungie was? Was it that complicated?"

     "Hyung, Army said I was perfect, don't yell at me."

     "Heeey! It's me who raise you, don't raise your voice over hyung and just admit that I'm your favorite."

     The other members burst out laughing and followed suit, happy to be able to rush into the breach they had opened and to really leave the heavy atmosphere that reigned in the studio.

    "I raised him," Yoongi replied. 

     "I raised him," Jin protested, sulking.

     "But he can't live without me!" Taehyung slipped, earning Jungkook's venomous gaze to which he replied with a mischievous smile.

     "I used to bring his meals to high school !" Jin cried.

     "Yes, but I was in charge of his meals!" Taehyung laughed.

     "Yes, but I am Worldwide Handsome." 

     And everyone on the set burst into laughter at this completely offbeat remark that cut off any protest, as if it was the best possible argument.

     There were a lot of things that united them and there was one that was beyond doubt: they had all taken care of their beloved maknae and remembering that, Jungkook felt bad for being so disrespectful with them lately. But meeting Tahyung's gaze, he wondered if he was going to manage to keep his calm when the other had become so prickly towards him.  

     The show ended in a good mood and the few problems they encountered seemed to have already been forgotten by the group who were happy to have regained their lifelong dynamic. The cameras went off, the idols took their leave of the hosts and left the room.

     However, when Jin, leading the group outside of the recording rooll, opened the door to their lodge, he came face to face with the person he liked least : Lee. 

     And the man looked furious.
