Ignore mistakes, please

Third person P.O.V

"What?" Taehyung winced internally as he asked the other. But to his dismay, Jungkook ruffled his own hair before stepping closer to the door.

"Don't worry, this time I'll leave you, for good." With that, he waved lightly before closing the door while Taehyung kept looking as the slit closed, completely hiding the red eyes of the raven-haired.

Jimin hung his head low, sighing sadly at the situation as by now, he was so sure about his doubts about Jungkook.

"Let's go." He simply said and again dragged the kinda frozen brunet to his car.

The whole drive was silent, Jimin kept stealing glances towards the brunet, who was blankly staring at his own lap, fingers digging into his thighs.

From his face and his condition, Jimin got the hint that he was feeling more than just bad. But he kept quiet this time as well.

Once they entered the Yoongi's apartment, Taehyung was engulfed in a tight embrace.

"Where the hell you were?!" Jimin gestured to him something and Yoongi sighed, stopping himself to ask further. When he pulled back, he was met with red, swollen, and puffy eyes with pink and red skin.

"Taehyung?" The called boy hummed in his own thoughts, making the other two definitely feel bad for him.

"So, who wants some ramen? Gosh, I'm so hungry now after your little stunt." Jimin beamed clapping his hands to distract the brunet as he decided to talk with Yoongi once the other fell asleep.

Taehyung kept spacing out but Yoongi nodded to which Jimin quickly entered the kitchen to make the ramen while Yoongi led Taehyung to his own room.

"Fresh up a bit, I'll help Jimin." Taehyung nodded slowly.

The night was spent like that all while Jimin tried his best to make the brunet smile or talk, but it seemed a hard job. In the end, finally, Taehyung fell asleep near 4 a.m. after twisting and turning for the nth time.

Jimin took the couch, and Yoongi slept on the bed with Taehyung, making sure that the boy was warm enough.

The next morning, Taehyung requested Yoongi to drop him back at Jin's place and the older did as he was told.

The news spread overnight about the brunet being the innocent one and the victim of the scam and the newscaster even requested the people to take down the previous video or else they would be punished.

It was another relief too, but even after that, Taehyung couldn't find peace.

For the next three days, he didn't feel like talking to the others. He did call his mother but couldn't talk much. His condition was making the older Kims really worried and they ended up talking with Yoongi who explained to them what actually happened the last Saturday.

His heart continuously felt heavier, like another burden was keeping him bound to feel miserable.

"We are closing early today, kindly you all can leave within half an hour," Namjoon announced to the customers who nodded their heads, well they were already informed through the board that was displayed on the door of the club. But Taehyung never noticed that.

He frowned and looked beside him at Kai. "Why? Everything ok?" He asked the younger who smiled.

"It's Jin hyung's birthday today and as always, Namjoon hyung planned something big for him. That's why Jin hyung isn't here today." He giggled at the end but Taehyung felt bad. He was living with the two kind souls but never got the chance to know more about them, well he was too immersed in his own messed-up life.

Once the customers left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables and all.

"Let's go, we need to be there before Jinie. I send him to take our order." Taehyung nodded and left with Namjoon as Kai denied the offer to come.

"I'm sorry hyung. I didn't know about his birthday." Taehyung started, fidgeting with his fingers. Namjoon smiled and gently patted his head.

"I know, no need to worry. I didn't tell you intentionally." Taehyung just sighed sadly when they reached the house.

Once they opened the door, the strong smell of sweets and cake with delicious food filled their noses. When he looked around, he was amazed, the whole living room was decorated beautifully and Jimin was the one doing the last touch-ups, struggling with the knots.

"Thanks, dude," Namjoon said, patting Jimin's back who smiled back but frowned when a string of fairy lights got stuck in Namjoon's watch.

"Don't you dare to move! I heard about your destructive ability!" Namjoon quickly froze on the spot as Jimin carefully untangled the string and sighed in relief as the whole decoration was still intact.

"Good thing you stopped him right on the time," Yoongi said coming out of the kitchen, an apron tied around his waist.

"Taehyung, go to your room. I bought a shirt for you to wear today. You can wear it with any blue jeans." Taehyung was now totally amazed by the two and their work.

"Hyung, it wasn't needed-"

"Are you trying to say that you don't need my gift?" Yoongi cocked a brow, making Taehyung shake his head.

"No, I just-"

"Go and get ready. There is a surprise for you as well." Taehyung frowned but left after Namjoon also vanished into his room to get ready.

Looking around his closet to find suitable jeans with the shirt, his gaze fell on a jacket and a coat placed one over the other, neatly wrapped, definitely, the ones which actually belonged to the certain someone.

I never got the chance to thank him and return these to him.

Sighing for the nth time in sadness, he grabbed the jeans and left for the shower.

After a relaxing, hot shower, he changed into the sky-blue button-up shirt and deep blue jeans. His hair was getting longer, lightly forming a mullet that he just noticed, and pouted.

When he came out of the room, he was met with darkness in the whole house. He patted his jeans to get his mobile but the mobile was downstairs.

"Hyung?!" Someone made a shush sound and he understood that Jin was about to enter the house.

Licking his lips, he grabbed the railings and slowly descended the stairs with careful steps but unfortunately, at the last step, he tripped thinking that it should be the floor.

A small yelp left his lips as his ankle twisted and he swayed forward, ready to fall on his face but it didn't happen.

His heartbeat quickened very severely when he felt the grip over his waist from the side. Two arms were wrapped around his waist that secured him right on the time.

He gulped thickly when one hand slowly traveled up to his chest and he was sure that the person did feel his fast heartbeat as the hand gently patted there for a second before straightening his body.

But before he could say something to the person, the grip loosened and he was now standing properly, still with his loudly beating heart.

Who is the person?

He tried to look at the person as now his eyes were showing the figures standing at different distances. But found no one near himself.

Suddenly, the door opened and Jin gasped at the pitch-black darkness in the house.

"God, what happened here?" He muttered to himself and opened his mobile to reach the switch and when he turned on the lights, everyone sang the birthday song, startling the boy who again gasped in surprise.

"Happy birthday babe," Namjoon said with his dimple smile and reached forward to grab Jin's hand and kiss the knuckles affectionately, making the other a blushing mess.

"Happy birthday hyung! Happy birthday, Oppa!" Everyone wished and an excited Jin happily hugged every person.

Wait, oppa? And that voice?

Taehyung desperately looked around and smiled when he saw his mother smiling at him while Euni was handing the gift to Jin.

"Mom!"

"Hi, Taebear!" She chuckled when Taehyung almost jumped over her with a smile, making the others coo at his adorable behavior.

"How?!" He asked once he pulled back when Euni side hugged his older brother.

"That handsome man." Euni pointed toward a direction and when Taehyung looked there, he felt his heart miss a beat. He never expected to see the person there, standing at a considerable distance from the others, hands in his black leather jacket pockets.

After three days, he felt his heart feeling a bit lighter like something was off of his body.. like he got for a moment what he was in search of, peace.. he got a little peace.

"You liked our surprise, Taehyung?" Jimin chirped behind him.

"Of course, look at his huge smile," Yoongi commented in a teasing manner but Taehyung's smile disappeared when Jungkook started walking towards him. No, actually he walked passed him and stood in front of Jin.

"Happy birthday. I hope you like that gift." With a blank tone, he showed the wrapped box on the table.

"But, I should go now."

"What?! No one is leaving before the dinner I made with so much effort!" Yoongi snapped.

"Why, Jungkook? Stay for the dinner and I didn't even cut the cake." Jin said softly, Namjoon nodded in agreement as well.

"Of course, no one is leaving now. Yoongi, please bring the cake." Jimin announced and ordered Yoongi who slowly went towards the couch and sat with crossed arms over his chest.

"Isn't it enough that I baked and decorated it, and also made the dinner?" Jimin pouted and stomped inside the kitchen to get the cake and knife.

Euni dragged Taehyung to the table once the cake was placed there and to his luck, he was standing near Jungkook.

Jungkook kept looking at the table while Taehyung kept biting his lips.

He said to me to never cross paths and here he is.

He scoffed internally but huffed again.

Ah, Jimin asked him to come with my family. He was pressured to do so. Look at him Taehyung, he looks so angry about that all.

In the end, Taehyung was pouting while the others were singing the birthday song as Jin cut the cake.

Soon after, they all settled on the dining table to have the dinner that Yoongi made and honestly, that was so delicious.

After dinner, they started playing games and again, Jungkook tried to take his leave but no one allowed him.

Taehyung was getting more and more nervous when Jungkook kept avoiding him like a plague, just like he did in the company.

"I'm getting sleepy," Euni said, rubbing her eyes.

"Why don't you take the room next to Taehyung's? I cleaned it up yesterday for you both." Namjoon suggested and Euni thanked him before leaving the adults.

Taehyung's mother also left after a while and that's when Namjoon grabbed the beer from the fridge.

"Time to party!" All cheered and grabbed the cans but Jungkook again got up.

"I should leave now. Thanks for the meal. Once again, Happy birthday." Jin scowled and took hold of Jungkook's jacket.

"Where are you going? It's 12 a.m. now. No one is leaving this house tonight. You all are staying, we have enough rooms after all." He announced with a stern tone and went back to drinking, mumbling something to Namjoon who blushed.

"But.. I can't stay here."

"Why not." Jungkook clenched his jaw when Jimin smirked at the remark.

"Whatever, let's go to your rooms now. I'm getting horny, need to thank him properly." Jin said, wiggling his brows and Yoongi almost smacked his back if it wasn't for Namjoon to drag him away.

"Go away. We will clean it up before sleeping." Yoongi gave a dismissive look and silently got up to enter the other room.

"As expected." Jimin rolled his eyes and started getting the empty cans to throw while Taehyung cleaned the table as Jungkook settled the other things.

"Good night, Taetae." Jimin yawned and entered the room where Yoongi went, leaving the two baffled.

Only one seater was placed in the living room and couches were inside the rooms. Jungkook looked around and scratched the back of his head.

"Where am I going to sleep." He mumbled to himself but then decided to take the one-seater in defeat.

Taehyung looked as Jungkook removed his jacket, ready to position himself on the sofa.

"It will be uncomfortable." Taehyung finally said the first word to him but his heart sank when Jungkook ignored him.

He is still mad at me.

The thought made him pout sadly but then, he did something unexpected, even for himself.

Taking some big and hasty steps, he stood in front of the raven-haired who kept his eyes on his phone but gasped when his hand was caught by the soft and cold one.

"You are sleeping in my room."
