The door was slammed open by Jeongguk who didn't spare a single glance back. He stormed up the steps, anger radiating all over him. Not allowing anyone to talk to him.

Behind Jeongguk, Jungkook walked into their penthouse, walking over to the navy blue sofa to take a seat, propping his elbows on his knees to hold his head in his hands. He bounced his knee anxiously.

The other five piled in, all remaining silent. No one was sure on what to do or what to say, clearly the twins were upset with what had occurred at dinner.

     Before anyone was actually given the opportunity to speak, there was a loud thud upstairs where Jeongguk ran off too. It was more than obvious that Jeongguk had punched something. It startled them all but they bit their tongues, forcing away any noises they could make.

It wasn't too long after the thud that Jeongguk came trudging down the steps, wanting to calm down but his emotions were so riled up.

He walked and stood beside the couch where Jungkook sat, head still in hands.

"I want everyone's fucking phone right the fuck now. If you don't give it, I will physically rip it out of your hands and break you all in half." Jeongguk threatened, nose flaring as he raged. "One of you had to fucking invite him. I want to see all your phones."

Everyone shared a look towards each other, some beginning to pull out their phones to hand them over.

That's when Jimin spoke. "I did. I invited him." He confessed, clearing his throat. "He gave me his number when we ran into him and I wanted him to be here because it doesn't feel the same without him."

Jeongguk walked over, pushing his hand into his pocket and pulling out a few twenties. He tossed it at Jimin who was utterly confused, looking down and then looking back up at the Jeon Twin. "What is this for?" He asked.

"Your medical bill." Jeongguk said and yanked Jimin up by his collar, glaring at him with anger and hate.

That's when Yoongi and Namjoon ran over, ripping Jeongguk away so he wouldn't hurt Jimin in any sort of way.

"How fucking dare you!" Jeongguk shouted at him.

The other Jeon Twin had his head up finally, watching the scene unfold. He wasn't going to help calm his brother because he believed that Jimin deserved it.

"Why?! You knew we didn't want to see him, you fucking knew and you invited him?! What the actual fuck is wrong with you?!" Jeongguk was outraged; infuriated with the actions Jimin chose.

"G-Gguk- I'm s-sorry!" Jimin backed away, stepping back from Jeongguk who's face burned red.

Namjoon grabbed Jeongguk's wrist. "I hate to step and risk hurting myself but part of me thinks you're being a little dramatic, Jeongguk."

"How?" Jungkook spoke, everyone looking at him as he still sat there, a brow cocked. "How exactly is he being a little dramatic? Who said Taehyung could come? Who wanted him there besides Jimin? We made it clear countless times our shared distaste for him and for some odd reason, that shit is always brought up and rubbed right into our faces. Funny, right?"

Namjoon sighed, shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders. "I'm not saying or trying to justify what Jimin did, I just think that trying to send him to the hospital goes a tad bit extreme when it comes to ass beatings. Yes, he made a mistake. I'm sure Jimin regrets it after being threatened the way he was. But, I want all of us to take a breather."

Seokjin silently stood and moved to Jimin's side so he could comfort him, wrapping his one arm around his shoulders.

Jeongguk rolled his eyes. "It's comical. We were going to take you fools out to buy you all something to show our 'gratitude' but fuck that idea since Jimin wants to ruin it."

That's when Seokjin took his hand and smacked the back of Jimin's head, immediately rubbing his shoulder again after hearing the younger wince.

     The room fell into a silence soon afterwards, Jeongguk being the way he was and refusing to spare anyone a glance. As mean as he was, he didn't want to go upstairs and pout for the rest of the night while the group sat around their penthouse.

It wasn't clear on what Jungkook wanted to do or what he was actually thinking at the moment, it was clear that everyone was all stuck in sad moods for what had happened.

"I personally don't want to be attacked but . . . Can we at least throw on a movie? I'm not asking we go anywhere or anything like that but our time here is limited and-" Hoseok was cut off.

"Sure," Jungkook said, pushing to stand. "Gguk will put on whatever movie you want, I'll go make popcorn." He only offered because he personally wanted to be excused from the room. He wanted a moment to himself to really put his mind at peace.

After he had made that statement, he left to go into their kitchen, letting out a deep and heavy sigh.

Jungkook wasn't going to lie and say everything went to shambles. Yes, he was extremely upset and annoyed with the events that took place but he felt like now he had a chance to get to learn everything and that's what he wanted to do; know exactly what happened.

He tried to let it go and for a bit, he actually believed that he wasn't effected by Taehyung's disappearance. That belief only lasted so long. It ended when Jeongguk came back from his interview saying that Jimin was the one with him and that he brought up Taehyung.

Until that point, Jungkook actually thought he could move on; get away from what was eating away at him and his brother.

But, unfortunately, things always had a way of finding their way back; always turning back into the issue, bigger than ever.

Jungkook threw a bag into the microwave, pushing the popcorn button and waiting patiently for the snack.

Taehyung.

Friday.

This Friday.

With Taehyung.

That topic on its own traveled into Jungkook's head anytime he tried — truly — to forget about it. It didn't matter what he was doing. Like now, he was trying to watch a horror film yet he was reminded constantly of the issue that occurred. He knew very well that he planned it, he wanted to meet up with Taehyung, but that didn't mean he wasn't nervous or scared or worried.

Actually, Jungkook was worried he gave Taehyung too much time and that Taehyung would leave and he would never get the satisfaction he desired. Jungkook was okay with never seeing or hearing or even thinking of Taehyung again, as long as he knew why Taehyung left in the first place.

Most might think he's overreacting, it was a teenage fling, but Jungkook will never be able to write out on paper or describe in words how happy and how in love he was. Taehyung had their heart and the Jeon Twins believed he would care for them.

Before Jungkook's thoughts could take him any further, he was startled by a jump scare in the movie. Loud screaming and flickering lights. He huffed.

"Anyone want anything? I'm going to go get a drink so if you need anything, say it now." He said. His thought process was thinking a cold splash of water would wash away his worries and bring him back to reality.

Everyone denied, eyes glued to the screen intently.

All besides Jimin who stared out the window. He wasn't particularly close to it but he was avoiding everything else.

Jungkook ignored that, clicking his tongue and walking back into the kitchen to fetch himself a drink but not after turning on the tap and cupping small things of water.

He leaned forward and splashed it on his pale skin, bringing his fingers through his hair to feel the rivulets of water all over his scalp.

"Dramatic, I know, lecture me later, but I think I'm going to call it night." Jeongguk's voice said.

This made Jungkook snap around, unaware that his brother followed him into the kitchen. "Huh?"

"I just said I'm going to go to bed. I'm not feeling good and would like to sleep." Jeongguk repeated, shrugging.

". . ." The younger of the two hummed, drying his hands on his shirt. "You feel sick?"

"I said that so yes."

"Sick as in stomachaches and the shits or sick because of what happened?"

"I'm assuming you know why exactly I want to go to bed, I don't think I need to spell it out for you." Jeongguk gave his smart ass replies, this actually bringing joy to Kook. "So . . . Yeah."

"Can I get a hug?" Jungkook hugged himself, eyes on his brother who stood there with a bit of shock but at the same time he wasn't shocked at all.

The slightly older walked over and opened his arms, wrapping them around Jungkook's shoulders while the aforementioned wrapped his own arms around Jeongguk's small waist.

"Thank you," whispered Jungkook. "Love you."

"Ew," the other pulled back. "You must be taking this shit super hard if it's making you tell me you love me. Disgusting."

"Oh, shut it." Jungkook snickered.

"I guess I love you too, Kook. Sleep well whenever you do." Jeongguk dismissed and walked away.

Jungkook dropped his gaze to the floor, leaning against the counter. "You too," he breathed out.
