"...in..."

"...imin?"

"JIMIN!"

The said male flinches and sits up on the bed, he looks around in confusion.

"Who died!?"

"What? No one died, you just need to wake up," Hoseok is standing in front of the bed next to Yoongi. Jimin looks confused between the two, what happened?

He speaks out his thoughts, earning a shrug from both males in front of him.

"You fell asleep," Yoongi comments. Then, small images from earlier start flashing in front of his eyes. He gets totally flushed in his face.

How could he fall asleep like that!? God, that's so embarrassing!

"Y-Yoongi, I'm so sorry!" Jimin puts a hand over his face to hide his burning cheeks. The elder chuckles slightly as he ruffles the blonde, soft hair.

"It's okay, I can wait," he winks in a flirty way, causing Jimin to heat up further.

"I'm sorry to break your little moment, but Jimin you really need to go home. As in asap!" Hoseok snaps from the side.

Jimin looks slightly confused at him before he starts realizing. Went to a party. Got drunk. Fell asleep.

As if he gets burned, he jumps from the bed and sprints to his phone that's lying on the desk. He turns it on and gets blinded by the light, he studies the display and he swears his heart stops.

3.01 am.

He's so fucking dead.

_____

Jimin basically falls in the front door, not minding his dirty shoes as he runs inside the living room.

As expected, Jungkook is sitting on the sofa, looking at the television that's running without sound. Jimin gulps as he slowly walks in further, standing next to the couch.

He can feel Jungkook taking his time to notice his presence, not even hiding that he's pissed.

"Oh, you're home," he says mockingly, turning and giving Jimin a glance that the younger can't really read. Jungkook has his foot resting on his other leg, one arm over the sofa's back.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen! I fell asleep and no one woke me up and-" he keeps rambling, never having crossed his father's lines before in his life.

"Cut the shit, I don't wanna hear it. I thought we had a deal Jimin, and you're late," he states.

"Like, 5 minutes!" Jimin desperately fires back.

"It doesn't matter, it's the concept! And it's 10 minutes," Jungkook says.

God, Jimin really feels something turn inside him in annoyance. He knows he's at fault, but it's 10 minutes for Pete's sake!

"I swear it wasn't my fault! I just accidentally fell asleep-"

"I wonder why, how drunk were you?"

"I was basically sober!" Jimin defends himself (lies), but the look his father gives him shows that he has already lost this discussion.

Jungkook scoffs and looks at the television for a second, clearly considering something.

"You're grounded for a week."

What. The. Fuck.

Jimin's fucking 18 years old, what's he thinking!?

"You got to be fucking kidding me?" he asks in disbelief, his mouth slightly agape as he stares at his father.

"No more talking, I have made up my mind," Jungkook states and stands up, he walks towards the stairs where a tired Taehyung is appearing from.

Jimin runs after him and grabs his sleeve.

"Dad, you can't be serious!?" he tries, but Jungkook just gently frees himself.

"I'll pick you up from school, and you have to tell me if you're getting friends over," he says. Jimin wants to fucking rip his hair off and kick something. What kind of punishment is this?

"Dad, I'm 18! You can't do this to me!" he continues. Taehyung just enters the whole dilemma a little confused, still rubbing his eyes.

"As long as you live in this household, I'm in charge," Jungkook sternly says, clearing out that this conversation ends here.

He gives the frustrated Jimin a final glance before walking up the stairs.

"Dad, he can't!" Jimin now speaks to Taehyung.

"What's happening?" the elder asks.

"He fucking grounded me for a week! I was 10 minutes late!" Jimin whines, tugging his hair. He can't see Yoongi for a week, like only if he comes over here. Nope.

Taehyung shakes his head, knowing that the great Jeon Jungkook would be able to do that. Of course he did... he has always been overprotective, but it has been rather intense lately...

"I keep telling you not to be late Jimin, it's basically the only thing we expect from you," Taehyung answers.

Jimin wants to throw a fit. It's not his fucking fault, he didn't fall asleep on purpose!?

"Please..." he grabs his father's hands and looks at him with big puppy eyes. There's only one guy on this planet who can convince Jungkook.

Taehyung sighs. What can he do against those eyes?

"Ugh fine... but I can only shorten it a couple of days!" he says before Jimin gives him a hug. Taehyung has always seen Jungkook as slightly childish, but it's the first time he has ever grounded Jimin.

"Thank you!" Jimin smiles. He knows he won't be free, but this is the best he'll get.

"Go to bed now," Taehyung says. Jimin obeys and walks up the stairs to his room. Taehyung follows and walks towards the bedroom.

He finds Jungkook lying on the bed with his glasses on, scrolling through his phone.

Taehyung slowly walks over and places himself on the side of the bed.

"If you're here to sweet-talk me, please don't. I have made up my mind," Jungkook says without looking up. Taehyung chuckles slightly and squeezes Jungkook thigh under the blanket.

"Don't you think it's a bit too much?" he begins.

"He deserves it! He'll never learn if we go easy on him, " Jungkook argues, but Taehyung isn't having any of it.

"Babe, you know that it's a harsh punishment... at least shorten it a little," Taehyung slowly crawls up and buries his face into the other's neck.

Jungkook sighs loudly, placing his arms around the other's small waist.

"Fine... I hate when you persuade me..."

"Didn't take much to be honest," Taehyung teases. Jungkook pinches his side and earns a yelp. They laugh a little before giving a goodnight kiss.

Taehyung places himself beside Jungkook, their legs still tangled and arms around each other.
