The days at the studio were quiet.

Everyone would simply focus on working harder than ever because of the lack of one member. It took a toll on all of them.

At the dance practices the members would get yelled at for stepping into Yoongi's invisible spot. "He's supposed to be there," our instructor would say, "don't step into that area." It even saddened the instructor to have to teach without one of us present.

Suga hadn't come to the studio or to their shared home for days.

Every member tried calling and texting him but for the first few days, they got nothing back.

What sucked the most was when Yoongi finally did start contacting back, it wasn't to all of them. Jungkook, Taehyung and Hoseok never got any message, no call, nothing. The other members tried not to emphasis that they were finally associating with the older hyung again especially knowing how upset it made the other three feel.

One day, Jungkook was with Jimin. Out for breakfast, Yoongi had suddenly called Jimin. He had awkwardly picked up the phone, talking to him silently about the new song he was working on as he needed some feedback from the members as well.

No matter how softly Jimin tried to talk, Jungkook was attentive, trying to get as much from the conversation as possible. Eyeing the side of Jimin's face slowly, Jungkook noticed his hyung's eyes go soft. Jungkook shook his head when Jimin extended the phone, knowing that his hyung didn't want to speak to him. Jimin simply urged as he wiggled the device in his hand. Jungkook swallowed as he took it.

"Yahh, no this part isn't good right?" Yoongi asked, oblivious to who was on the other line as he seemed to be reading some lyrics.

Jungkook went, "hm?" His whole body relaxed at the sound of his hyung's voice. He hadn't heard that voice in so long.

"What about this part?" Yoongi continued only to rap a bit of the second part.

Jungkook was in awe of it. The way his hyung was so good at controlling the stability of his voice while rapping. His voice the perfect amount of rasp and exaggerated emotion. "Hyung it's really good," Jungkook said out loudly without thinking. He was smiling hugely.

The line suddenly became silent. Jungkook's smile fell immediately.

"Hello hyung," he said softly, slightly nervous as his palm that held the cell to his ear started to sweat.

Jimin's eyes softened at the maknae so nervous.

"Hi," Suga said slowly and Jungkook smiled so big at the fact that Yoongi acknowledged him.

Jimin smiled at how cute and excited Jungkook looked.

"What-"

"Could you give it back to Jimin," Yoongi stated, his voice extremely quiet over the phone.

Jungkook's face fell so quick at that, his jaw clenching a bit as he sighed, "okay hyung," he said slowly, "I miss you." Jungkook waited to see if he could possibly hear anything else from the man but no, Yoongi was harshly silent.

Jungkook gave the phone to Jimin who had the most saddest look on his face.

"I'm sorry Jungkook," Jimin said feeling like he was responsible for Jungkook sulking suddenly.

"Hyung?" Jimin said over the phone and sighed when Yoongi soon ended the call with him too.

"Yup," Jimin sighed as he put the phone back into his pocket, "he probably won't be calling me either for a while now."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault Jungkook," Jimin said as he rubbed reassuringly at the back of Jungkook's neck, "not your fault at all."

-

You had to practically drag your friend out of her bed.

"Racy! Wake the fuck up!" you yelled annoyed as you went to the extent of pulling her body off the bed.

Racy yelled back a "NO!" as she held onto the bed post, not daring to let go and have to leave her room.

You were struggling, heaving for breath, "Racy you've missed so many lectures just crying around. I get that what happened is terrible and you're upset. But instead of sitting in your bed, ignoring Taehyung's calls, and barely eating, you should get up, wash your ass, go to school, and maybe try to fix this!"

"What do you not get?" Racy said as she lay flat on her bed when you stopped pulling her. "I can't fix this," she said sitting up.

You sighed, sitting down on to the bed before her.

"And why is that?" you asked, feeling extremely tired suddenly over just pulling the girl. It slightly scared you over how tired you got so easily, shit Y?N you gotta work out more. Instead of lifting dicks, lift weights. You then rolled your eyes at yourself, who am I kidding, I haven't seen a dick in ages.

You looked over at Racy and noticed her eyeing you in confusion. Your brows jumped when realizing you hadn't been listening to a word she was saying.

"O-Oh, yes," you let out stuttering a bit, "that sucks."

She rolled her eyes, seeing right through you as she let out a cry and fell onto her bed again.

Your face scrunched, "okay okay I'm sorry! I got sidetracked by dicks!"

Racy glared at you and you laughed before trying to pull at her arm again. "Here get out of bed, I'll help you clean yourself up."

"Oh please don't offer taking a shower with me again," Racy whined as she got up with the help from you, "it's weird."

You rolled your eyes. "It's only weird if you make it weird," you said grinning, "and besides, it's not like I haven't seen you naked before."

Racy mumbled something under her breath but you couldn't quite catch it.

Having ate breakfast and gotten ready. It was a big day today. They were performing their new song today on broadcast. Their comeback "Fire" was apparently going to be larger and more greater than "Dope" as management kept repeating. Everyone was excited and nervous.

Jungkook simply was in his outfit, nodding over at the stylist noona before going over to Taehyung who was looking over at his phone.

"She hasn't called yet has she?" Jungkook asked softly, noticing the defeat on his hyung's face.

"No," he said slowly, "and neither has Suga hyung."

Jungkook licked his lips, he could taste the little amounts of lipstick that was on him, "Hyung is coming today...manager hyung said he's even travelling there with us."

Even with the makeup, Taehyung's face went pale, "What?"

Jungkook nodded. He knew how his hyung felt. He felt the same nerves too.

As he was about to say something, there was a huge roar from Namjoon.

"Ahh! Hyung!"

Jungkook and Taehyung both whipped their eyes in the direction of Namjoon who was hugging the new individual in the room.

Yoongi smiled as he hugged Namjoon before looking over at rest of management who greeted him as well.

Jungkook and Taehyung shared a look before slowly walking over to the chaos. Their eyes met Hoseok who was by the stylist noona. He seemed to have an expression that matched both him and Taehyung.

-

The three stuck together for the most part.

In the car, Hoseok, Jungkook, and Taehyung sat together in the back. Quiet and staring over at their hyung they hadn't seen since the night of the fight. Suga was distracted for the most part as everyone else seemed to be joyful and excited, asking him about the new song he was writing and whether or not he was okay to go up on stage.

Suga answered every question wholeheartedly.

The three in the back were incredibly quiet.

Getting ready to prop up on stage and finally go for their comeback stage, Jungkook was already sweating. He felt anxious, his guts tangling together constantly and yet he kept snacking on the food that was left to eat backstage.

When they got up there and in position, the fans screaming simply made him more nervous. He glanced over at Yoongi who seemed incredibly chill considering the fact that he hadn't come to any practice yet. Even though Yoongi had been practicing with the instructor on his own, Jungkook was still taken aback at how confident the man was. Trying to stem off his confidence, Jungkook felt a bit at ease.

They started to dance and sing. What they were working hard on for months finally out there and for their fans to see. As he continued to dance and sing he couldn't help but smile. All seven of them on the stage, the fans chanting, the music blaring. It was amazing. The adrenaline on its own made Jungkook forget any other problem he could've faced during these past few months.

As they finished and the fans roared. Jungkook and the rest of them grinned as they broke out of stance and started bowing to the crowd, all while hugging each other. He hugged Jin before looking over at Jimin who was hugging Yoongi and without much thought, too happy in that moment, he instantly threw himself at his older hyung. He laughed at Yoongi's shoulder.

All the members glanced over at Jungkook against Suga who was stiff against the boy. Yoongi didn't hug him back but Jungkook was too excited to even notice.

Trying to play off their shocked forms, everyone bowed over at their fans again who were screaming at the sight of Jungkook still clinging on to Yoongi. Yoongi smiled uncomfortable over at the fans, knowing he shouldn't make a scene.

As all of them were slowly leaving the stage, Yoongi struggled in Jungkook's grip a bit when going down the stairs. Jimin had to help out and get the Maknae off, knowing Yoongi wasn't into it at all. Jungkook mumbled a "no", continuing to make the older friend highly uncomfortable.

Taehyung's eyes softened. His eyes met Yoongi who simply looked away and he sighed before finally pulling Jungkook off of Yoongi. Jungkook flinched away from Taehyung as he had fallen upset.

Yoongi's eyes softened a bit as the maknae walked away, he saw the boy's tears while walking over to management.

-

"Today was fun," Hoseok mumbled as he took a sip from his drink. Jungkook swallowed at the sight of his hurting hyung before taking a sip from the bitter drink himself. His face scrunched at how disgusting it tasted but it made him feel better when trying not to think about all that had happened today.

"I," he needed time to register the words he wanted to say, "y-ou, did you get to talk with Yoongi hyung?"

Hoseok shook his head at a slightly tipsy Maknae. "No I knew he wanted the space so I gave it to him," he simply mumbled in irritation before drinking more.

Jungkook pouted a bit, "I didn't give him space...maybe that's why he still hates me."

Hoseok tried to talk, his finger out as he swayed. "He-" Hoseok hiccuped, "he hates both of us so yay!"

Jungkook blinked slowly, pouting excessively as he chugged down the rest of his drink.

Hoseok chuckled a bit, "Ahhh! Jungkook-ah! What a manly man."

Jungkook simply continued to chug until he finished his entire drink. He couldn't help but smile a bit when his hyung hiccuped again.

They ordered more when they finished.

Walking and stumbling together, Jungkook and Hoseok yelled up at the stars, singing and shouting out lyrics from their older songs.

"Furrrr-"

"Everything!" Jungkook yelled.

"Fuurral-"

"Everything!"

"Fall!"

They laughed loudly before moving on to Hold Me Tight, where they proceeded to actually holding each other really tight, dramatizing a whole MV on the path that they were walking on, with them two only.

"ijen dan harudo neo eopsineun," Jungkook sang, arms out as he almost fell to the ground.

"PLEASE!" Hoseok yelled.

"Can you trust me? Can you trus-"

He stopped singing and yelling when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. Brows knitting, his cute stumbling form found balance as he looked down at it. Needing time to adjust his eyes, he smiled at who texted him.

I know you haven't been replying back to my texts...and I'm not trying to complain.

I understand you're going through alot right now and just wanted to know if you were okay.

Everything will be back to normal soon, I promise.

Y/N

He pouted a bit before waving his phone over at Hoseok who was still singing the rest of the song and practically humping a tree while spinning around it.

"Hyung!"

He jumped away, falling a bit only to catch himself as he nodded over at Jungkook.

Looking at the screen that Jungkook flashed, Hoseok couldn't see it well.

"Ahhh Jungkookie stay still!" he whined as he tried to read the text.

-

You sighed as you wrapped the towel around yourself. Hair wet, you used another towel to lamely dry it out. Moving out of the hall and towards your bedroom, you froze immediately at the sound of a loud thump come from your room.

Hastily checking Racy's room, your form froze when noticing that Racy was knocked out on her bed. Swallowing you looked over at your bedroom, the door slightly open. You saw it was dark in the room, the little bedside lamp that you left on as you went to shower creating showers of the person who was walking around in your room.

Swallowing hard, you looked around for a weapon of some sort but couldn't find a single thing. Swearing under your breath, you tightened the towel that was wrapped around you and started to twist the second towel in your hands.

"Please don't have a gun, please don't have a gun," you begged under your mumbling as you slowly creeped towards the door.

The noises had stopped for the most part, confusing you. Head about to peek into the room. You jumped so high while using your twisted towel as a lame whip to hit the figure that suddenly popped out in front of you.

The figure seemed to groan, "Aishhh!"

You looked into the dimly light room and your eyes widened, trying to find your breath when looking at the boy in the center.

"Jungkook?" you asked shocked.

"Yeah!" he yelled back, rubbing at his eye you had just attacked out of fright.

"What are you doing here?!" you asked softly yelling, not wanting to make more noise than already made. Closing the door a bit behind you, you looked over at the boy.

"I wanted to talk to you," he said in annoyance.

Your brows jumped, "right now?!"

He continued to rub at his eyes.

"Oh stop being a baby," you chimed as you picked up the towel you had thrown in his direction from the ground, "what else did you expect? I thought some robber or murderer was in the house."

Jungkook pouted before finally looking over at you. His pout grew into a slight smile at the sight of you in nothing but a towel. "Hi," he said softly and your brows furrowed at his expression before looking down at your form. Eyes widening you flushed immediately as you held the towel tightly more to yourself.

"What did you want to talk about?" you asked hastily, wanting to fling yourself with your own towel-whip.

He swallowed hard as he tried not looking over at you much. "I felt sad that I was ignoring you," he said swaying a bit in his spot and your brows furrowed, "I'm sorryyy."

He slurred the last bit and you blinked slowly when you came to realization. "Jungkook why are you drunk?" you asked softly, worried about the man that had trouble standing.

"I'm not drunk," he mumbled as he tried to walk towards you but simply fumbled. He laughed as he almost fell and you helped him by holding onto his forearms.

"Ah! I almost fell," he laughed before poking at your cheek with his index finger.

You couldn't help but smile a bit at how cute that was.

Still laughing, he managed to instantly put all his bodyweight on you when he threw his arms over your shoulders. You tried to gasp for breath but couldn't much as your face went straight into his chest.

He was hugging you.

"J-Jung-" you struggled, his sweater basically in your mouth.

He hugged you tiredly, grinning drunkenly. "Y/N, I've missed you."

You tried to talk but all you tasted was fabric. The fact that he smelt of strong alcohol didn't help your suffocating form either.

His smile fell a tiny bit as his cheek rested over your damp hair, "I missed laughing so much...I guess that only really happens when around you."

You stopped struggling in his grip for a second, body gone soft at what he said.

"And when Yoongi hyung left I-" he choked up a bit and your eyes softened.

Moving your head so that it wasn't much in his chest anymore, you had it rest a bit onto his shoulder as you listened to him.

"It's been hard dealing with Racy," he said slowly.

You felt something wet hit your shoulder.

He was crying.

"And now with Yoongi hyung...I feel like I don't know what to do," he mumbled, "I lied to Taehyung and betrayed hyung that night I-"

"This isn't your fault," you said softly, shocked over his drunken form crying while holding you. You didn't know what to do.

He chuckled, his words slurring again when his head moved into your neck. Your eyes widened immediately as you tensed. "I knew you'd say that," he breathed out, sighing as he took in the scent of your hair.

Suddenly realizing that you were practically naked underneath a towel while hugging the boy, you grew red and uncomfortable as you pushed at his chest lightly as you managed to move your neck away from him. He still had a good hold on the second half of you as your torso remained against his.

Your lips parted at his damp cheeks. He blinked slowly when looking at you.

He was tired.

Swallowing, you tapped lightly at his chest. He looked down at your hands that rested there.

"Hey why don't we get you to sleep hm?" you asked sweetly. He looked at you and your stomach fluttered at the expression he was giving you. His arms wrapped around your waist more tightly and your breath hitched.

Trying to maintain your cool, you tried not focusing on his hands that gripped at the towel around your waist. Instead, you focused on simply having him sit down and sleep. "J-Jungkook," you piped, voice a little higher than before.

He leaned his head down towards you, his breath hitting your cheek. You panicked as you took your hands off of his chest and hovered them over his arms that were holding your waist. Managing to slip away and take his hands into yours instead, you smiled at him tightly.

"Here I'll help you," you said as you took his suddenly quiet form to the bed.

Helping him sit down, he fell back onto the bed tired and you took in a breath of relief as he was no longer focusing on you much. Trying to crouch down a bit so you could take his Timberlands off, your breath was sharp when he sat up and smiled at you. His hands making it to your hips again when trying to pull you towards him.

"No, J-Jung-" standing before his form that was sitting on the bed's edge, you tried to move Jungkook's hand away from your cheek. He arched up a bit as he kissed you lightly.

You squeaked as you pulled your head back, "Maknae I swear to-" you gasped a bit as he simply started to kiss at your jaw, his method sloopy when trailing down the higher part of your neck.

"No no no no," you hastily sang out, going bright red and not knowing what to do as you pulled away from him again.

He pouted when looking at you.

"Why not?" he piped trying to reach out for you again but you simply laughed nervously as you slapped your hands into his. Wiggling them playfully in nervousness.

"Because you're drunk and not in the right mindset," you said through your teeth as you were smiling exhausted over at the boy, "you don't want this, you're just hurt and vulnerable ts'all."

He was smiling at you tiredly. You stopped wiggling at his hands a bit when he stopped trying to reach for you.

"Okay," you said relaxing a bit at the fact that he had stopped, "now it's time to-"

You yelped when he gripped at your hands and pulled you over to him.

Eyes huge when moving underneath him now, he hovered over you. You pushed at his chest immediately,

"Jung-"

"I do want this," he whispered down at you.

You stopped pushing at his chest when you caught the look he was giving you. It was a look he had never given you at all, the way his eyes bounced down between your eyes and lips causing your chest to rise and fall harsher.

The light by your bed was the only thing allowing you to see him. It made his cheeks glow, the structure in his jaw and mouth visible.

You swallowed.

He glanced down at your chest that grazed from you breathing hard. Jungkook's eyes lingering on the towel that was strong enough to stay on you, but still hanging quite low on your chest. He licked his lips a bit before leaning down and kissing over your skin that the towel just happened to expose.

Your eyes shut slowly as he left butterfly kisses along the side of your collarbone before using his tongue at the croak of your neck. Your lips parted instantly when he marked your skin, chest heaving once again, hands gripping his hoodie tightly. Knuckles white, you bit your bottom lip from making a sound as he continued to suck at your skin.

Moving closer to you as his torso now grazed the top of your towel, he kissed alongside your cheek before kissing gently by the corner of your mouth.

He suddenly stopped.

You didn't dare open your eyes.

His lips softly met yours.

Snapping out of all of it once tasting his lips, she swore before arching her head up. You tasted the alcohol...he's drunk Y/N.

You tried not to tear up. Confused over why you were tearing up, you wanted to cry more.

"Hm?" he asked tiredly, trying to register that you had pulled away from him.

"N-Nothing Jungkook," you said softly, trying to muster out a tiny smile as you let his hoodie go, "I'm just really tired."

He smiled sweetly.

Something within you broke.

"Okay," he said before pecking your lips quick and rolling to lay beside you.

Taking in a breath and  blinking away tears, you used your elbows to prop yourself up.

You let one tear fall when he pulled you towards his side. Awkwardly wiping at your eye, you smiled softly when his face fell. "What's wrong?" he asked as he held you while snuggling into the pillow.

Under his grip, you lay there in his arms, facing him. You were done struggling at this point.

"I'm just scared," you managed to get out while staring at the side of his face.

He smiled warmly, his eyes shut. You could tell he was really tired.

"Scared of what?" he mumbled, drifting off to sleep.

You watched him fall asleep before you, unknowingly resting your head next to his head on the pillow. Swallowing, you memorized the side of his face before finally mustering up the courage to softly speak.

"I'm scared of liking you."
