Jungkook Pov

After a few weeks I started to become accustomed to my new routine of squeezing therapy sessions in between the harsh training sessions and tv shows. Ever since the runaway incident the others have kept their mouths shut although I still can sometimes feel yoongi's cold stare following me as I leave the dorm. I don't know what caused his hatred towards me.

"So Jungkook-ssi, how have you been feeling lately?" My therapist, Miss Kim,had been giving me advice on how to handle my emotions properly and so far she's done a good job on helping me control myself when stressed.

"Well, the hyungs are a lot less curious on why I keep disappearing-"

"I really suggest you tell them where you're going. If they're true friends of yours then they won't judge or question any more about it and-"

"Please.... I really don't want them to know about it..." I looked down at my hands in my lap, suddenly afraid to look at miss Kim.

"Hey," her soft hands gently cupped my own before I looked up and into her warm chocolate eyes,"I'm not going to force you to do anything Jungkook, I'm only here to guide you. I'm so proud of you and I truly believe that you can recover."

"Thank you...." Sometimes I forget how comforting miss Kim is. It's weird to trust someone you barely know but it is helping my mental health.

"Have you felt any stress recently? Any panic attacks or... Kieran sightings?"

"Actually, Kieran hasn't been visiting be as frequently but when he does it's usually in my nightmares and Namjoon hyung always wakes me up and comforts me till I fall asleep again. I'm grateful."

"He sounds like a good freind."

"He is. As for the stress, I get headaches quite frequently when I'm around the other members, by others I mean all the members other than Jin hyung and Namjoon hyung, and sometimes when Jimin and yoongi are being all lovey-dovey right in front of my fuc- face I get really angry or upset..."

"I see... How often do yoongi and Jimin do this?"

"Oh, pretty much every day. I'm pretty sure they don't even realise they're doing it, after all they aren't aware of my feelings for Jimin so they don't know how much it hurts me."

"Hmm... I suggest that you try to avoid being close to them when they're like this. It's unfair on them if you ask them to stop because it's just normal couple stuff. When they do start to show strong affection towards each other I recommend you silently leave the room or avoid them."

"Ok... I'll try," once miss Kim deemed the conversation over she pivoted to face the black circular wall clock hung midway up the rooms plain walls. In five minutes the session would end so she smiled at me before dismissing me early.

Ever since that day I had made it my mission to subtly avoid Jimin and yoongi. Yoongi's accusations towards me destroying the bond the group has is still stuck in my mind so I don't blank them. I only approach them if they ask/imply the want me to be with them. The first week of my subtly-avoid-yoonmin-without-being-obvious went pretty well, our schedule was pretty packed and I even offered to do some solo work such as reality shows and 'the masked singer' to keep myself occupied and away from Jimin and yoongi. And when I wasn't occupied I played with taehyung and the others.

However, some time later I could tell yoongi knew what I was doing by the way he would continuously ask me to go get lamb skewers with him or hang around in the studio so he could spend time with me. I didn't miss the pained expression he tried to hide when I rejected him kindly. It wasn't until he dragged me into the studio one night and apologised about his outburst, that I actually accepted his offers.

We started to get close again, sure there'd be the odd moment where he was with Jimin and I couldn't help but look down dejectedly at the floor, but even then yoongi would pry Jimin off and give me attention again. Eventually, I felt sorry for Jimin, an empty expression starting to become his only expression, so I backed off and played with taehyung instead. I was decent, Jimin was happy, the group was happy.

I guess I'll just have to wait for these feelings to disappear

Jimin Pov

"Hey junkookie, want to go to that cafe we used to go to all the time?" I asked as I approached the youngest, who was currently staring at the empty dorm walls with earbuds in.

"Mmh, ok hyung," I let out a quiet sigh. His gaze didn't shift from the wall and his voice sounded bored.

"You don't have to, I'll ask someone else if you want to just stay here?" As I spoke he lifted his phone up to his face, the light allowing me to actually see his face in the dark room, only to turn up the volume.

"Ok, have fun hyung," I clenched my teeth as I left the room, accidentally slamming the door in the process.

I've had enough...

"What's up shortcake?"

"Shut the fuck up Namjoon," I growled as I tried to storm past him, but to my prevail he grabbed my arm and help me in place. I was ready to punch him but I refrained from doing so.

"Whoa, whoa, calm down. What's up with you?"

"Maknae," he let out a sigh and loosened the grip on my arm.

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Fine, can we talk somewhere other than the dorm or the studio though?"  He nodded as we proceeded to walk out the dorm, and towards the cafe I mentioned earlier. Namjoon was usually the person the members went to for advice because damn, that man was good with his words.

Once we arrived at the small homey cafe we strolled to our usual table which was located at the back near the tall houseplant, bowing to the old woman who was behind the counter on the way past. After sitting down opposite Namjoon, I let out the breath I didn't realise I was holding and relaxed my tense shoulder. I was glad to be out the stuffy dorm.

"So how is Jungkook bothering you?" He interlocked his hands together and placed the on the table, as if he were some fancy interrogator.

"He's just....", I let out another sigh," I don't know, he's just different,"

"Well, he is growing up. Things are bound to change,"

"No, I mean he's just different around me. He's always awkward around me and he no longer jokes or teases or does anything with me anymore. I feel like he hates me and I don't know why," I watched namjoon's face as he averted his attention to the houseplant beside up.

"Oh really?" His voice is different and I can see his fingers start to play with each other. He's hiding something...

"Spit it out," my demeanour immediately changed into a cold one, destroying the warm and bubbly mood we had prior.

"What?" His eyebrows furrowed in a way that I could tell he was internally scolding himself for being obvious.

"Don't play dumb, just tell me what your hiding from me," I tried my hardest to deliver him my coldest glare. He sighed in defeat.

"Let's just say that, he might not be acting that way out of hatred..."

"So it's just a big prank then? (It's Just a prank bro)

"No,no,no,no. I really shouldn't be telling you this but.... He...." His voice quietened as he spoke. And then it clicked.

"He like likes me...doesn't he?" Namjoon visibly freezes and squeezes his eyes shut as he subtly nods.

"But me and yoon-... OOOOHHH I get it now.... Shit..." A wave of guilt comes crashing down on me as I reminisce all the times I ignored Jungkook to go and be with yoongi. How could I have been so blind? I mean I have caught him staring and he sometimes lingers his touch for a tad bit too long but I always thought that that was just fan service and thankyous.

I abruptly stand up and begin to walk out the cafe and back to the dorm.

"Jimin? Jimin, what are you doing?!" He shouted as he ran to catch up with me.

"I'm going to talk to Jungkook." I saw Namjoon wince but his mouth remained closed as I marched forward, determined to make it up to Jungkook.
