Jungkook rolls off the couch and his body hits the floor. 

"I almost forgot I slept here" He mumbles. Taehyung never unlocked the door and never left his room at all that afternoon and Jungkook didn't even attempt to make his way in, he gave Taehyung his space not even imagining what could be going through his head or how he will cope with this guy being back. His phones alarm goes off signaling that school starts in fifteen minutes, his final alarm, hes slept through 4 of them. 

"I'm going to be late" Jungkook starts freaking out, he gets up, still in his clothes from yesterday he grabs his jacket and runs into the bathroom. Once out hes about to run out when he remembers the most important part of his morning routine. Wake up Taehyung. 

Before even turning the knob he stops in front of the door and knocks like crazy hoping some how the vibrations will wake up a sleeping Taehyung. Nothing. A quick thought crosses his mind and he finally has the smart idea to try opening the door with the door knob. He puts his hand around it and with a slow turn the door opens. No one. No one inside. Their beds pushed apart, both nicely made as if no one slept in them in days. He must be at school. Jungkook turns not even realizing the school uniform on the floor, he runs and grabs all his stuff as he rushes out. One shoe not even tied, a tripping hazard. He locks the door behind him and runs to catch the bus. Once on the bus he sends some text messages to Taehyung asking why he didn't wake him up asking if he ate breakfast. Not even realizing his messages weren't getting delivered. He puts his phone in his pocket.  The bus stops almost sending Jungkook flying, he steadies himself as he stands up and runs through the door and through the gates of the school. He makes it into his class with one minute before the teacher should be in. He sits at his desk not even realizing Taehyung wasn't sitting next to him. He takes out his homework and puts it on his desk. 

"Kook" Jungkook looks up to the other side of the room, realizing Taehyung was no where to be seen he sees Namjoon pointing to the empty desk.

"I dont know" Jungkook mouths, a sense of worry rushes over him but it's too late to leave, theres no where he has in mind to go to, to find him.

Back in the restaurant bar turned restaurant café Taehyung sits in the employee room, Hyungwon and Sanha sat in front of him. The only time before that that hes seen Hyungwon, Hyungwon was very shy reading a magazine but today Hyungwon is keeping him company until Jin comes to work. 

"Thank you for unlocking the door for me" Taehyun's voice barely audible but Hyungwon smiles, "Anytime" 

"So whats your name, how are you, who are you" Sanha's voice quickly leaves his lips too quickly to understand. 

"speak slower" Hyungwon whispers, from months of seeing Taehyung and hearing what Jimin and Jin have said hes gathered enough proof that Taehyung is deaf or hard of hearing. 

"Why" Sanha questions his face tilted to the side. 

"Shouldn't you be at school?" Hyungwon questions looking at him 

"No..Oh I do!!" Sanha stands up and nods a goodbye before grabbing his paycheck from his locker and running out, around this time is when Jungkook got on the bus.  

Hyungwon apologizes to Taehyung for Sanha's overly excited attitude when its in fact only seven in the morning. Taehyung just smiles back. 

"So, can I make you anything while you wait?" He asks with a smile and Taehyung nods his head no, "You sure it's on me" Hyungwon says and  

"Thank you though" Taehyung says in a whisper. A few seconds later Hyungwon stands right up which makes Taehyung look behind him to see Jin. 

"Hello" Jin says happily to Hyungwon who responds with a shy 'Hi'.

Shouldn't you be at school? Jin signs to Taehyung I should be Taehyung signs but I'm not.

Why not? Jin signs concern apparent on his face. 

Too many thoughts are telling me not to 

T h o u g h t s? Jin signs out every letter making sure he understood correctly, Taehyung nods. 

Should I break up with Jungkook? Taehyung signs 

One answer covers Jin's mind, something he's been wanting to say for a while but never did. He takes a deep breath. Yes he signs. 

Taehyung lets himself sink deeper into the couch. His eyes wonder around the room then land back on Jin. He lifts up his hand, about to sign the word, 'why'.. But Jin sensing this asks first, wanting to know Taehyung's reason and not state his. 

Taehyung slowly signs the whole situation he has clouding up his mind. All the thoughts that kept him awake throughout the night. All the thoughts that wen't through his head as he passed Jungkook who was asleep on the couch, all the thoughts that wouldn't stop soon enough for him to wake up Jungkook and tell him to go sleep in his own bed and not on the blue couch that could possibly break Jungkook's back. All those thoughts leave his head and are told through sign language. Jin takes in the story, the thoughts, the single words. He takes in how worried Taehyung is that Jungkook could get hurt. How Yoongi could get hurt. How he could get hurt and possibly how others he loves could be dragged into a mess because of him. 

"Do you love me?" Jin asks half serious half kidding, the words leave his mouth instead of his hands. He repeats himself realizing Taehyung wasnt paying attention to his lips, ashamed of the question it's too late to turn back.. 

"Of course I do" Taehyung says his voice comes out clear as day. 

"So you're scared I will get dragged into this" Jin says and Taehyung nods. 

"Should I break up with him?" Taehyung asks, his voice more sure than it was yesterday afternoon. His voice also more inaudible then it was a few minutes ago, but he doesn't know that. 

"Yes, you should" Jin says slowly making sure Taehyung gets every word and takes them all in..
