Jin pov (trigger warning i guess??? Im not sure)

"Jin~ lay down with me..." Taehyung begged.

He cutely yanked my tshirt sleeve and pouted. I was carrying a tray of food for Jungkook as well as warm milk. He refused eat with us.

He's been like that all week though. I felt bad for him. This week I've aided him so much, but he doesn't seem to be getting any better. I have to force him to even take a bite of his meals.

"Jungkook's not doing well, Tae" I sighed.

I'm tired. I'd like to just go lay down and cuddle, but I'm scared for Jungkook. He can't cope. He legitimately doesn't know how. Originally, I liked getting him to open up to me because I'm a gossip addict, but now I just feel for him and want to know more so I can help. I've been sucked into his mess with Jimin.

"I know, but you need sleep and I need you by my side. We've aided them both well enough I think" Tae said. He pushed my bangs out of my eyes.

My hairs gotten a bit long. I like it best this way. Taehyung think's my bowl cut should be shorter. I don't give a flying shit though. He has his hair longer than mine, I still look effortlessly beautiful.

Still, when he moves my bangs to out of my eyes it's comforting. He looks after me well despite being younger. I love him and the warmth he gives me. Just a simple gesture gives me strength to push through my tiredness.

"You're so cute. Let me just make sure he eats, then I'll come to bed for sure, ok?" I smiled.

"Thank you!" He shot me a boxy smile that made my heart melt.

I turned from him and entered Jungkook's room. Namjoon was still downstairs eating dinner and discussing politics with Counselor-nim. That's so him.

Jungkook however, was laid in his bed. Beneath his blanket and all curled up. His head and hands poked out of the top. He was eyeing the bandage on his palm. I've redone it 3 time's this week. That kid can't control his emotions for shit. The second he breaks down he balls up his fist and before you know it blood comes gushing out. I've never seen someone so carelessly hurt themselves like that.

I feel so bad for him. He's opened up to me this week. I think moreso than he has to Jimin even. I was surprised he let it all go, but I also think he's at a very unsafe point in his head.

His life's been horrible. People have been nothing but shit to him. And now the boy only wants Jimin. To him Jimin being there fo him is enough to satisfy his needs.

"Nobody cares"

"Jungkook-ah, I care. Taehyung too. If we didn't, we'd probably be banging right now while you cry next door" I said.

He sighed heavily.

"I guess, yeah. Um... t-um" he hesitated. "Thanks"

Saying thank you's difficult for him. He's so immature. I don't understand why his parents couldn't have taken better care of him. He can't control his emotions at all. He's been just a step about neglected and doesn't even realize it. Luckily every trick in the book to make a baby calm down works on him.

I began to combe my fingers through his messy hair. Surprisingly, it wasn't all that tangled. I forced him to get up and shower this morning, so he must have went an extra step and actually groomed himself after. That's improvement I think.

"Come on, Jungkook-ah. Eat dinner and drink some warm milk. That will help you sleep well" I said gently to keep him calm.

I set the tray of food down on his lap. He stared down at it. Getting him to eats been a struggle this week too, he's more willing now though. If I just raise my voice he'll do as I ask. Before hand, I'd have to force his mouth opened and shove a spoonful of rice in.

"I.. I don't feel like it" he shook his head and look away from the tray.

"Jungkook. Eat your food. How are you supposed to keep your muscular build if you don't give your body what it needs to survive and thrive?" I crossed my arms and looked down at him.

I saw his eyes glance at me, but he didn't move his head even a little. With one glance he just sighed and picked up his spoon.

He ate slowly at first. You can tell he really didn't have the motivation to do it. Yet the more he ate the more his body seemed to realize how hungry it was- he ate fasted. He didn't go into full beast mode or anything, just eating slightly faster than his normal pace. When he finished he sipped away at his milk.

I pulled the tray off his lap when he was finished with it all.

"Now get some sleep. In the morning I'll wake you to see if you eant to come down for breakfast" I smiled at him sweetly and caressed his cheek.

He laid back and covered himself in his blanket.

"I don't want to see him"

He refers to Jimin as just "him" now. That started two days ago. He thought that if he doesn't say his name, he won't break down every time he has to think about him.

"I know, but you can't hide forever" I frowned.

His eyes glossed over quickly. He shook his head as he looked me in the eyes.

"I just want to get over him so everything I feel can go away" he let this tear filled eyes go. Tears ran down the side of his face.

"I'm sorry, jungkook-ah. Please don't cry. Just get some sleep ok? You'll be alright in the morning" I smiled sadly at him.

He nodded lazily and wiped his tears away. Sniffing once and trying not to scrunch up his face. Still, when he closed his eyes a single tear ran down his cheek.

I wiped it away for him and moved his hair out of his face.

Wow, i'll be such a wonderful father one day. Props to me- and Taehyung too. I'm sure he's doing a great job with Jimin. Oh I love us. We're perfect humans. Everyone else really just is a step below us. Not several because I think everyone's amazing in some way, but we're amazing in absolutely every way. Tall, handsome, kind, caring, big dicks, funny- perfect. Love us to death, aw.

That happy thought left me quickly though because as I was turning the light off in his room, I glanced at Jungkook again. No more tears had fallen, but there was clear heartbreak written all over him. I might be perfect, but I'm not a higher power- I can't just make him better instantly, although I wish I could.

That boys had a shit life. Yeah, it doesn't excuse his bitch ass behavior, but Jimin really did crack him. He's been caring a lot on his back for an ultimate breakdown for a long time. Yet, falling in love with someone, going through a nasty rough patch, and then their partner moving on to someone else- that was Jungkook's final straw.

I shut the door and turned around to see "him" himself, Park Jimin. I jumped a bit because he was right in front of me. Tears were streaming down his face as he reached out for my arms.

"I didn't mean to hurt him" he cried

I felt bad feeling less sympathy for him. Part of it's because of what Yoongi told me days ago rather than anything Jimin's done. I really shouldn't be upset with him about that, but I guess I'm just more upset that he slept with that jerk.

Yoongi said that he can't feel bad for what him and Jimin did because Jungkooks jaded. He thinks that boys had it all. He thinks Jungkooks just a brat because he's used to being praised and getting everything. And if it was my place to yell that he's wrong, I would've, but it wasn't and still isn't. It's Jungkook's place and he thinks Yoongi can believe whatever he wants because Yoongi doesn't deserve to understand him. And in the end, I think I agree with that choice. It was actually mature of him to think that even though it came from a petty place.

I shook my head.

"You should've at least been quieter if you were going to begin seeing Yoongi like that. I know Jungkook's being and actual child about this, but he legitimately doesn't know any better, Jimin. He doesn't understand how emotions even work. Do you not get that? This whole things been a giant ass temper tantrum of his because you initially rejected him and he didn't know how to handle it! I'm not saying you didn't have the right to, I'm just saying you can't confuse him because he doesn't understand it. He's 16, and yeah he's a weird little porn addict and a grand fucking asshole, but when it comes to emotions, he just doesn't truly understand it. I'm surprised he was even able to register that he loves you. I'm not surprised that he thought it meant you didn't when you were moaning out someone else's name" I let out.

It was extremely passive aggressive and it was all in defense of Jungkook, but I don't give a shit. Sure, if he doesn't understand how to cope with things then maybe he isn't ready for a relationship- or maybe he just needs someone who cares about him enough to show him.

"I'm sorry." He cried harder this time.

He wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in my shoulder. I hesitated to wrap my arms around him, but ultimately did. He's too adorable for his own good really. That's what really got us in this mess. It all started with that, and then Jungkook's tantrum, and now we're here.

"Don't be, I already said you had the right to reject him. I'm just saying you should have been more sly about sleeping with yoongi." He can't up and find a new love when he's having trouble with the last one. "Y-you know," I hesitated, unsure whether to tell him what I heard the other night. "I-I heard counselor-nim on the phone the other day. He's wondering if he should switch Jungkook to a regular therapy home to help him learn how to express himself. He's a counselor, but he isn't sure if he should give jungkook more counseling here or if he should send him somewhere else. I think you need to fix what's going on or you need to move past this and forget him."

Jimin let me go and looked at me with a confused expression. Like he didn't know what to do with this information. Like a lost dog who needs guidance.

"Goodnight, Jimin. I- um I hope Taehyung got you to eat dinner and I'm sorry I yelled at you. I just don't want to see Jungkook like this anymore."

With that I left Jimin out in the hall and went into the room with Taehyung.

When I shut the door behind me, I saw Taehyung sitting on his bed.

"Jin, you know, Jimin's weak too. Please don't be upset with him. That all was a little too harsh and too much to take in" he sighed. He reached his arms out for me still, despite clearly being upset with me.

This weeks been so stressful on both of us and it isn't even our own relationship problems. I don't even want to imagine how those two both feel. Finally though, I went to him and laid back in bed with him.

My vision went blurry because I'm such a sucker for sad stories.

"Jungkook's lifes been horrible Tae- people.. nobody in his life has ever treated him right. We're the first people to ever comfort him. He doesn't know how to cope at all. He breaks things when he's mad and he hurts himself when he's upset"

"Don't worry, Jin. I'm sure he understands more than you think. I mean, he is 16. I think he just needs to realize that how he copes isn't the way to cope. He'll be ok I think. You know, Jimin really does care about him. They'll work it out" he reasoned. He kissed my cheek and held me close.

Taehyung always makes me feel better.
