"Hyung..." Jungkook watched in uncertainty as he eyed the man who knocked on his and Taehyung's apartment door. "W-what are you doing here?"

The older man smiled slightly and leaned against the door. "Can't I come in?" The man asked.

Jungkook looked behind him into the stomach of the house. It wasn't as if Taehyung was there.

It was just an involuntary reaction.

"Yeah, sure."

Closing the door after, Jungkook asked if the man wanted water which he accepted.

"You're staying here now?"

"Yeah." Jungkook nodded.

"And your own house?"

"I rented it out."

The man nodded.

"Hyung, why are you here?"

"I can't come to see you?"

"But you didn't come to see me, did you? You're here for Taehyung hyung. You didn't even know I moved in with him."

The man nodded again. "You're right."

Jungkook frowned. "Why do you need to see him, Hoseok hyung? Wait, how did you even know where he lives?"

Hoseok leaned back on the couch.

"I got this address from our acquaintance."

Jungkook narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

"Yoongi." Hoseok said to confirm what Jungkook suspected.

"You know where he is right now?" Jungkook asked hastily. Everybody had been wondering where the man went for two months now.

"Correction. I know where he has been."

Jungkook read the older's face. "He's been with you this whole time?"

Hoseok nodded.

"Why are you only telling us this now?"

"Cause Yoongi's now a dead man walking around in an empty shell and I don't want to see him like that anymore."

"So he wants Jiminie hyung back?"

"No."

"What? Why?"

"He believes he can only bring Jimin down, and the only thing he can give Jimin is everything but love."

"Shit. How fucked up is that?"

"Yeah. Anyways, I just came here to tell your boyfriend where he could find Yoongi. And please do. Soon. I haven't watched my own TV for so long."

Jungkook let out a chuckle. "What did you tell him anyways for him to give out Taehyung hyung's address to you?"

"Oh something about planning you a surprise birthday party."

"But my birthday's not in another 8 months..."

"Well, he doesn't know that!"

Jungkook laughed before looking at Hoseok. He couldn't help but feel bad for his manager.

"Oh please. Don't look at me like that."

"Like what?"

"Pity."

Jungkook sighed. "Are you okay hyung? I mean, you could've just try to start something with Yoongi hyung. I know you still love him."

"Funny thing, he said exactly the same thing when he first came knocking at my door."

"You don't want to?"

Hoseok smiled sadly. "I'm not that nice Jungkook ah. Of course I've thought about it. But I don't think I can spend even a moment in my life with a man who cries out another man's name while he sleeps at night."

"So? Should we go get him?"

"And say what?" Taehyung asked as he opened up the food containers they just ordered for dinner.

Of course Taehyung wasn't eating again since he had a photoshoot the very next morning.

But Jungkook was. He was starving in fact. And Taehyung had pampered him in ordering all his favorite food. "I don't know. Tell him to go see Jiminie hyung?"

"And get killed by Jin?"

"Oh yeah... I find forgot about Jin hyung."

Jin, Jimin's friend had become extra protective over the vulnerable man. Too protective if you ask Jungkook.

No one was allowed to mention Yoongi. He had become "The Man Who Shall Not Be Named".

Jimin wasn't allowed to be alone at the house so Jin hired a maid to do the housework and watch over him while Jin went to work.

If Jimin wanted to go out, he'd have to bring someone else with him.

Jin even took the liberty to charge Jimin's phone for him every night, in case Jimin would forget and he wouldn't be able to call Jimin to ask about him throughout the day.

"I think Jin hyung needs to know that doing all that won't make Jiminie hyung better."

Taehyung nodded slowly as he sipped on his water. "I know. Jimin needs to move on. To do that he needs closure."

"Wait." Jungkook said with the toothpick that was holding a piece of tteokbokki hanging in the air. "You can ask Jimin out to the park like you always do. I can go get Yoongi hyung. I'll just say I need to talk to him about something."

Taehyung looked at Jungkook, as if processing this plan and nodded slightly.

"I guess that could work."
