**Please Read The Note Down Below**

Timidly, you exit your bathroom finally done with your shower. You half expected Jungkook to be sitting on your bed waiting for you but he wasn't there. Puzzled you push out your bottom lip wondering where he could have gone.

Your stomach begins to sink as guilt starts to run through your veins. Maybe your staring made him scared or disturbed. Maybe he was in his room with his door shut.

You let out a deflating sigh, curse you and your inherited perverseness.

As you made way to your bed a sudden cool breeze sneaks up your shoulder. You shiver at the feeling and pull your grey oversized sweater closer to your body. You glance over your shoulder, didn't you close the window earlier?

But the window wasn't open, the sliding door to the patio was. Sitting on the patio staring up at the sky was Jungkook. His back was slouched with his head slightly tilted up.

You notice that the rain had stopped and the clouds have disappeared from the sky. Now there were small, twinkling stars all over the dark, black night sky.

Your feet padded across the tatami mats as you make your way towards your friend. Silently you sit down right next to him and also look up at the sky. The backyard was lit up in warm lighting giving off a calm feeling.

A gravel road swiveled around the rectangle backyard garden. Small path lights were placed by the road for visibility. Shrubs were scattered here and there as well as flowers in pink, yellow, or white.

A small pond was off to the right of the backyard with small boulders surrounding it. You could hear the faint sound of running water from the pond. A few dark green lilypads were seen on the surface of the pond.

Small Korean red pine trees stood proudly around your garden. You felt at peace at the sight, pride welled your heart knowing that your family has owned such a beautiful estate for many generations. It shows how far your family has come to succeed in this world.

You glance to your side at Jungkook who seemed so transfixed on the sky above you. You look back at the garden with a small smile. "It's beautiful, right?" You ask softly.

Jungkook looks away from the million stars above him and at you. "The garden I mean." You say quickly for clarification.

Jungkook looks at the garden and nods, "Yes, it is."

You cross your legs while tilting your head. "This is actually nice, you know," You say with a sigh.

"What's nice?" Jungkook asks.

"Just being here with you. You know, just us two without the rest of our friends." You answer. No reaction came upon Jungkook, his face remained blank.

"You really think hanging out with just me is nice?" He questions softly. "What about Taehyung? You always love being around just him."

"Yeah, but that's different."

"Different how?"

A loud yawn escapes your lips and you try to shake your sleepiness off. "When I'm with him I laugh a lot and smile a lot. It's great to be around him. He just makes me happy." You admit.

It was difficult for Jungkook to take all that in. He thought that each word had pierced his heart. A lump had formed in his throat that made it hard for him to swallow.

Each breath he took was shakier than the last. He knew that you still had feelings for Taehyung. How obvious can you get? He looks down at his lap feeling like an idiot.

"But," You say as you abruptly lean your head on Jungkook's shoulder. He flinches at the contact but doesn't pull away. Instead, he looks at you as if you grew two heads.

"When I'm with you I feel. . .untroubled," You mumble. "I feel at bliss and in content because I know I can tell you everything and anything and you won't judge. You and I always have fun together even though most of the time we sit and do nothing. No matter what we do I always smile because it's you."

Your eyelids suddenly became heavy and you try to keep your eyes open. But with each second that past you were having a harder time. You snuggle your head against his shoulder in hopes of finding a comfortable position.

"Oh, and by the way, you didn't answer my questions since we got interrupted earlier."

Jungkook could tell that you were getting tired by the sound of your voice. He looks away from you and back at the sky. "What question?" He asks, playing dumb.

"You know, the one about you forgiving me and all," You yawn finally giving up on keeping your eyes open. "I want to know why."

Jungkook doesn't answer for a moment letting out a small sigh. With his eyes glued to the night sky, he answers. "It's for the same reason why I was mad at you."

You let out a small whine, "Aah, that doesn't make any sense."

"Of course it doesn't, you wouldn't understand." He says softly.

He expected to hear a small retort of some sort but you didn't say anything. Instead, he could hear soft snores coming from you as you soundly sleep against his shoulder. He looks at you to see your lips slightly parted with your shoulders rising and falling slowly.

He shakes his head and moves a hair strand away from your mouth. A frown forms on his lips as he drops his hand.

"And I think that's for the best."

The next day was the final day of your small vacation in Hanok Village. An upsetting feeling rested at the pit pf your stomach. During your whole vacation, you didn't do anything with Jungkook.

Not one thing.

All you did was upset him and make him sit outside in the cold. The guys, however, didn't seem to mind or notice Jungkook's state during the whole vacation. They either seemed smiley, as per usual or groggy due to their hangover from the night before.

You let out a small sigh after you place your suitcase in the back."Who's driving?" You ask aloud, half expecting that you would do it.

"I will," Jin answers tiredly with Namjoon leaning on his back. Jin tries to shrug him off but Namjoon doesn't budge. "This guy is out of it," Jin says with a pointed look.

"Not my fault," Namjoon whines. "I was just doing shots with Yoongi."

As if on cue Yoongi and Hoseok exit out the estate with Hoseok's arm around Yoongi's waist in a supportive manner. "Hey, Jisun you got maids working here, right?" Hoseok asks.

You slowly raise a brow in questioning. "Yes. . .why?"

"Well, there's a little surprise for them in the guest room closet." He answers simply.

You had to think for a moment wondering what he meant. Your eyes widen in realization. "Oh my god, are you serious?" You shout in disgust. "He threw up in the closet?!"

Yoongi winces and shoots you a glare. "Oh my god, who cares?! Just stop your shouting! My head hurts!" He shrugs off Hoseok's arm and gets in the van. Hoseok follows with a shrug.

You cross your arms, "Who's fault was that then?" You grumble under your breath. You just wonder how Jimin and Taehyung are faring.

Jin helps Namjoon in the passenger seat before getting in the driver seat. You stand by the van and see your brother and Taehyung walking looking exhausted.

Well, your brother seems fine, he was smiling while lightly pushing Taehyung in the arm. "No hangover?" You ask with a teasing smile.

"Tch, no." Jimin answers with a 'duh' tone. "I'm not a wuss like these guys."

"Ah shut up, Jimin." Taehyung snaps. "I had more shots than you."

Jimin chuckles before getting in the van as well. You look at Taehyung who was rubbing his temple. "Is it really that bad?" You ask.

"Yes!" He whines and leans his whole body on you. "I wouldn't be in pain if you were there." You chuckle lightly and hold him close.

"Oh, yes you would. You know my consumption is higher than most of you."

"But I wouldn't feel it because you would've made it all go away." He exclaims as he puts his arms around your waist.

You laugh softly while patting his head. "Sheesh, you're such a baby."

"So? I'm your baby."

"We'll leave without you if you guys don't hurry up." Someone says firmly. You look up and see Jungkook get in the van quickly without sparing you a look. You knew he said that.

You gently pry off Taehyung who follows you into the van. You sit in the back with him once again, but this time you try to talk to Jungkook.

"Want to sit here with us?" You ask hopefully. Jungkook looks at you before looking at Taehyung. His expression was blank as he looks back with the shake of his head.

"No, it's fine." He answers.

You begin to pout with your shoulders sagged. "But--"

"Baby, it's fine. If he said no then it's no." Taehyung says simply. That's when everyone's head perked up suddenly awake.

"Baby?!" They repeat flabbergasted.

You whirl your head to him with your mouth open. But no words escaped your mouth, you were just as shocked as the guys. Jimin violently turns his body to glare at Taehyung.

"What the hell is with the nickname?" He questions sternly. Taehyung stares back innocently.

"What? I didn't mean anything by it." He defends as he pulls you to him. "I used to call her that and it seemed fine before."

Yeah, because we were dating, you wanted to say. Your face was blank and neutral but inside you were screaming. Why would he call you that all of a sudden? Was he still a bit drunk or something?

Jimin looks at you with a questioning look and you simply shrug your shoulders in response. He stares at you for a moment longer before turning back with a shake of his head.

So there you sat, with Taehyung's arm around your shoulders. Wanting to know what his problem is you look at him. But he wasn't looking at you, in fact, he didn't even realize your stare.

He was too busy staring down the back Jungkook's head with a devilish smirk.

\/\/\/\/\/\/

Taehyung insisted on being dropped off first once you arrived in Busan. When the guys asked him why he simply said that he's in great trouble. But you knew why and gave him a shove in his side.

"I thought they let you come with us?" You hiss as the van comes to a stop a block away from the BigHit Entertainment Company. Taehyung unbuckled his seat belt.

"I never said that." He says simply. "I left without saying anything."

"But why??" You ask in a whisper. He shrugs mutely as he clambers out of the van.

"It's plain and simple, Jisun. I wanted to see you."

He flashes you his boxy grin before closing the door. He opens the back door and quickly takes out his suitcase. You watch him silently with your cheeks flaring a reddish-pink blush. When he closes the door he begins to walk off and the van starts to move once more.

You knew Taehyung has been acting odd this past week yet you couldn't put your finger on the reason why. He was always a weird bean but now he's weirder than before. Calling you baby and then wanting to risk his chance at fame just to be with you didn't sit well in your stomach.

Without realizing it you arrived at your apartment building. You scurry to get out with Jimin on your tail. "Why are you getting off?" You question with a look. Jimin gets his suitcase and raises a brow.

"Because I want to hang out with my baby sister?" He answers in uncertainty.

You let out a tired sigh, "Fine. Come on, Jungkook. Let's go."

You watch your friend about to jump out of the van but Yoongi and Hoseok quickly grab his arms."Hey! What are you doing?" Jungkook shouts, startled.

"Sorry, Jisun but this boy is coming with us!" Hoseok says with a grin. "We got some unfinished business."

Before you could say a word the van door slams shut and speed off. You look at your brother in confusion.
"What's got into them?"

\/\/\/\/

"Quickly, put the blindfold on him!" Jin exclaims. Before Jungkook could react Yoongi holds him firmly while Hoseok places a black cloth over his eyes.

"What is this? What are you guys doing?" Jungkook shouts as darkness greets him. When no one answers a pout form on his lips as he sits quietly between Yoongi and Hoseok.

He wonders if this was some kind of prank or a surprise they're trying to pull. When the van stops he hears the doors opening then feels a yank on his right arm. He stumbles out of the van before being dragged to who knows where.

He walked and walked wondering where they were taking him. He hears a ding of an elevator indicating he was in some kind of building. None of the guys spoke, they walk silently down a hall while holding on to Jungkook.

They stop at a door and quickly open it. As they shove him in they place him in a chair with a single light above his head. Jungkook twists and turns his head trying to think where he might be.

The blindfold was suddenly ripped off his head but it didn't help. Jungkook still stared at the darkness. He couldn't see two feet in front of him.

"What the heck is going on guys?" He questions once more. He knew they were around him, he could hear their breathing.

"Silence!" Yoongi's voice suddenly booms causing Jungkook to silently jump. He steps into the light with a frown and knitted eyebrows.

"We ask the questions only. Do you understand? You're under interrogation."
