Third Person's P.O.V :-

"It's just lunch, you guys didn't have to come with me" Jimin said as he walked through the hallway of the hospital with Yoongi and Hoseok on his toes.

"Lunch without you is incomplete, right, Yoongi?" Hoseok asked his boyfriend with a big heart shaped smile on his lips.

Yoongi just grunted in response, the truth was both of them weren't confident enough to leave Jimin alone to face his husband and his husband's lover. They were tagging along for moral support.

"Hey isn't that Jin hyung?!" Hoseok called out suddenly, stopping in front of a hallway while the other two stopped in their tracks a little further ahead and came to stand behind him to look at what Hoseok was pointing at.

And indeed Jin was exiting the office of some doctor who looked way too good to be true with his tall frame, muscular physique and dimpled smile.

"That motherfucker! He took a leave today saying he wasn't feeling well!" Yoongi exclaimed in annoyance as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I mean this is a hospital, he must be here for a checkup" Hoseok suggested to ease his boyfriend.

"Nah that's definitely his boyfriend, Dr. Kim Namjoon, he showed me his picture before" Yoongi grumbled under his breath.

"BOYFRIEND?!" Hoseok gasped.

"DR. KIM NAMJOON?!" Jimin gasped.

Yoongi and Hoseok collectively turned their heads towards Jimin,"You know him?" They both asked in unison.

Jimin blinked a little as he stared back at his colleagues and deflated a bit,"Yeah, he's Jungkook's new psychiatrist" He provided to extinguish their curiosities.

"We came a full circle!" Hoseok whispered, still a little baffled.

"This entire thing lines up so well it's downright stupid" Yoongi said as they all turned their attention back to the alleged 'couple' in front of them.

Jin was laughing at something while the doctor just nodded with a merry smile and stood a few inches apart from Jin.

"Um not to alarm anybody but that doesn't seem very couple like to me" Hoseok voiced out while the three of them were busy analysing the body languages of the other two people on the other side of the hallway.

"Maybe they're keeping it professional because it's his boyfriend's workplace?" Jimin theorized as he watched how Jin went to give a hug but the doctor shut that attempt down by reaching out for a handshake instead.

"Oh dear! Embarrassing" Hoseok said as he cringed a little.

"Haha imagine getting ignored by your own boyfriend, only Jin Hyung can relate" Yoongi remarked in amusement, thoroughly enjoying the entire ordeal.

Jin awkwardly shook the hand and looked like he mouthed an apology which the doctor probably accepted.

"Something is not adding up, Jimin go ask what's up" Hoseok ordered as he grabbed his cubicle partner by the back of his neck and ushered him forward.

"Wha-why me?!" Jimin protested as he was now being pushed by both Hoseok and Yoongi.

"You're the Guardian of one of his patients, you have a reason to go talk to him" Yoongi reasoned as he pushed Jimin further,"Now go ask!" He said and with a firm shove Jimin ended up stumbling right in front of the 'couple'.

"Oh my God, we gotta hide!" Hoseok panicked and pulled Yoongi inside one of the rooms in the hallway, to hide from their Jin Hyung's eyes.

"Park Jimin? What are you doing here?" Jin questioned as Jimin stood up properly in front of them and fixed his clothes a little.

"Ahh Jin Hyung! Fancy seeing you here" Jimin gave a forced laugh as he tried to come across as genuine, needless to say he failed miserably,"I um, I wanted to talk to Dr. Kim Namjoon, he's supposed to be in charge of my ward from today" He provided to help his case a little.

"Oh, I see" Jin uttered in suspicion and looked behind Jimin only to catch both Hoseok and Yoongi peeping out from one of the rooms and scrambling inside right when they caught his gaze,"Those motherfuckers..!" Jin hissed under his breath as his brain connected the dots.

"Ah yes, I'm being assigned a new patient, I'm assuming you're his guardian, it's really fortunate that you came, I was wondering if you could tell me a little about his condition" The doctor, Namjoon, expressed in a professional and smart manner.

Jimin saw the way Namjoon smiled at him and instantly knew why his Jin hyung couldn't resist him,"Um sure, doctor, anything you'd wanna know, I'll be glad to provide, though I'm afraid I'll be a little busy the next week, if you can't reach me then feel free to leave your queries with Jin hyung, I'll see him at work, I'll try my best to answer all of your questions" Jimin said, he'd be too busy the entire week circling around the court because of the suit filing procedure, he doubted he'd get much time to come to the hospital at all.

Namjoon quirked a curious eyebrow at the request and Jin looked mortified standing beside Namjoon. Jimin started to panic wondering what kind of wrong things he said.

"I appreciate the thought but why would you think I'm close enough with Mr. Kim as to ask him the whereabouts of another patient?" Namjoon questioned, genuinely intrigued while Jin glared and gestured for Jimin to zip his damn mouth from behind Namjoon.

Jimin's trepid eyes flickered from Namjoon to Jin and back to Namjoon again as he gulped. He was stuck in that uncomfortable situation and there was no way out of it.

"I um, I just thought you two are...close, are you perhaps not?" He asked, trying to be as vague about it as possible.

"Mr. Kim is just my patient-"

"We're just friends-"

Sweat drops started to break on Jimin's forehead as he was stuck in that massive galore of awkwardness. Both Jin and Namjoon were looking back at each other after they had spoken up two completely different things at the same time and started to chuckle nervously, for two completely different reasons. Jimin forced out a chuckle as well to ease himself into the situation.

"Mr. Kim, I never thought you started to see me as one of your friends, is that why you've been coming twice a week, even though you're supposed to come every two months, and offering me lunches and rides back home?" Namjoon asked, his eyes sparkling and his form a little giddy at the thought of a new friend.

"I-..Ye-Yeah!! You're a wonderful person, Doctor, I'd love to have a friend like you!" Jin yelled out with a forced laughter.

Namjoon perked up at the confirmation and pulled his phone out,"Then we should exchange phone numbers! I can't begin to phantom how awkward it must have been for you to call the hospital reception every time you wanted to hangout!" He exclaimed in excitement and shoved his phone towards Jin, eagerly waiting for his number.

"I- um sure!" Jin began a little hesitantly but soon enthusiasm consumed him as he had been trying to get the gorgeous doctor's number for quite a while only to have it offered to him on a silver platter when the topic of friendship was brought up.

Jin took the phone in his hands and quickly typed his own number before giving it back to Namjoon,"Here" He said as he looked at the doctor's happy face while he dialed his number and put it on his ear.

Jin's phone vibrated in his pocket as he pulled it out and picked up the call from the unknown number. He put the phone on his ear while not turning his eyes away from Namjoon who smiled at him,"Hello, Kim Seokjin-ssi?" He smiled and Jin felt all the blood rushing up to his cheeks.

"Kim Namjoon-ssi.." Jin whispered while blushing. Jimin watched the entire thing go down as he stood there in the middle like the left out third wheel. He started to wonder if the other two had really forgotten about his existence even though he stood right in front of them.

Namjoon finally put the phone down and looked at Jimin,"Jimin-ssi, unfortunately, it's lunch break so I need to leave but I'll look forward to our meeting after the break" He informed gently and turned to Jin to smile a little before he walked away.

As soon as Namjoon had turned the corner and disappeared, Jin felt his knees wobble as he fell down on the floor.

"Jin hyung!" Jimin shieked as he crouched down by Jin's side while the other's hands were shaking while he held his phone and looked at Namjoon's number.

"Holy shit, I have his number!" Jin gasped out, still unable to believe his scored his crush's number.

"And I thought you said he was your boyfriend?"

Both Jin and Jimin looked back to see Yoongi standing there while Hoseok peeped at them from behind his boyfriend.

Jin's emotional face rapidly turned into a pissed off expression as he was instantly on his feet and racing towards Yoongi to grab him by the collar.

"YOU SNITCHING DICKHEAD!! I TRUSTED YOU!!" He hissed as he glared at his fishing buddy.

"Yeah, trusted me with misinformation! He's literally just finding out you see him as more than a doctor and he just friendzoned you by the way, that was not your secret boyfriend!" Yoongi hissed back as he grabbed Jin's collar too, a little offended at being provided with wrong details.

"He is my boyfriend, he just doesn't know it yet but he is my boyfriend, that's why I told you he's a secret boyfriend, you doo doo head!" Jin growled out.

"You're a fucking clown" Yoongi stated while jabbing a finger on Jin's chest.

"HUH?! BITCH GET WRECKED! I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT COMING FROM YOU WHO TOOK HIS BOYFRIEND OUT TO A RESTAURANT WHEN HE TOLD YOU HE WANTED YOU TO EAT HIM OUT!" Jin yelled out.

"SAYS THE PERSON WHO ASKED HOBI TO FINGER HIM CUZ HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT HIMSELF!" Yoongi yelled out with pink cheeks.

SMACK! BAM!

Both Yoongi and Jin groaned on the floor while clutching their heads while Hoseok stood over them with bright red cheeks, breathing desperately,"Shut up, you two!" He shouted and looked at Jimin who stood a few feets behind, disassociating from them.

"Jimin help me drag them to the cafeteria" He pleaded while Jimin just slowly nodded and stepped towards him, still weirded out by his colleagues.
______________________________________

"Alright, guys, I'll go deliver the food to Taehyung, now, you guys can begin without me if it takes too long" Jimin said as he grabbed the food he brought for Taehyung.

Hoseok looked at him in concern and stood up,"I'll go with you-"

"No, hyung, I'll be fine, it's just food delivery, I'll be back soon don't worry" Jimin said with a reassuring smiled as he walked off.

The three seated on the table watched his retreating back before Jin turned towards Yoongi,"Alright, snitcher, what's up?" He asked, all ready for the tea.

Yoongi grunted in dusgust,"You're a fool if you think I'd give away his situation to you just because you're my fishing buddy" He stated firmly and stared at Jin.

Jin stared back and quirked an eyebrow.

Yoongi sighed,"Alright, listen up, so Jimin's husband is a dick and his house guest a bigger dick" He began and Hoseok just facepalmed.
___________________________

Jimin walked in the familiar hallway he had pushed Taehyung's wheelchair through that very morning and stopped right in front of Jungkook's private ward.

Taking in a deep breath, he turned the knob and pushed the door open. But nothing could have prepared him for the view that greeted him.

Taehyung was sleeping on Jungkook's bed, Jungkook had scooted back a little in his bed and made space for Taehyung to lie down on. His husband had cuddled up on the side of Jungkook while the other was sitting up and combing his fingers through the soft strands of Taehyung's hair.

Jungkook knew Jimin had already entered the room but he made no moves to look up or acknowledge his presence. For his own mental sanity, Jimin assumed it was because Jungkook had no idea what to say instead of it being an ego issue.

Jimin let out a soft breath and walked towards the bedside table to put down the lunch he had brought for Taehyung,"Did the nurse approve of this?" Jimin asked out in a small voice, not looking back at the occupants on the bed.

Jungkook finally glanced up to stare at Jimin's side profile and watched him pull out the tupperwares containing warm food,"No, Tae said his back was hurting from sitting on the wheelchair all day so I asked him to lie down beside me" He answered a bit defensively.

Jimin felt the bitterness in the tone and chuckled in irony,"I was not attacking you" He said as he looked back into Jungkook's eyes.

"Neither was I, why did you assume I was?" Jungkook countered without missing a bit.

"Maybe because you see me as the villain of your love story?" Jimin suggested as he sat down on the couch by the wall and smiled,"I heard everything you had to say at the clan house, you know?" He whispered, his lips showed a pleasant smile yet his eyes held pain.

Jungkook gulped down the lump in his throat as he glanced down,"I wanted to apologize for that.." He softly mumbled.

"Apology?" Jimin asked as he gave a bittersweet smile and leaned back on his seat, playing with his wedding ring sitting at the base of his ring finger, turning it around in its place,"If only your apology could have fixed things" He uttered in a hopeless tone and stared at the diamond glistening in the light of the room.

"You could have fixed it" Jungkook suddenly said making Jimin look up at him.

"What..?" Jimin asked, unable to understand what Jungkook meant.

Jungkook took in a quivering breath as he began,"Taehyung told me...that he asked you to consummate the marriage last night" He trailed off as he fisted the blanket in his lap,"Taehyung likes you a lot you know" He mumbled unable to organize his own thoughts.

Jimin started to frown,"Kook, I don't..I don't understand what you're saying" He spoke aloud as he shook his head.

"He likes you more than me" Jungkook finally said as he glared down at his blanket,"He's known you the longest, trusts you most, loves you as his own family if you had asked him to forget about me and stay by your side, he would have" He said firmly as his lips wobbled and eyes started to well up.

"He would have given up on me, on u-us, without thinking twice if you had asked him to, tha-that's the kind of power you hold over him" He whimpered and snapped his vision towards Jimin,"Yet you asked for a divorce, so don't be coming to me saying things couldn't be fixed when you chose to give up in the first place! You had all the power since the very beginning, I was always just a helpless spectator!" He shouted, a little too loudly for his own liking and immediately looked at Taehyung's direction fearing he might have woken him up.

Neither him nor Jimin wanted Taehyung to wake up in the middle of that discussion.

Jimin sighed in relief after seeing the steady intake of breathing from his husband sleeping on the bed. He had been trying his best to avoid an emotional meltdown that day since they needed to go visit the lawyer that evening and the last thing Jimin wanted was for Taehyung to object to divorce in front of the attorney.

"I knew he would have stayed if I asked, and that's precisely why I can't let him be with me anymore" Jimin whispered as his gaze flickered up from Taehyung to Jungkook,"He loves you, not me, why does he need to give up on his love because he feels the need to be by my side his entire life?" He lamented with downcasted eyes.

"So you're showing me sympathy by sending him to me? Granting me love? Playing the matchmaker?" Jungkook asked out, a little aggravated. He hated just how aware Jimin was of the situation.

He hated how thoughtful and considerate Jimin was being towards them. It sort of destroyed the image of an undeserving husband Jungkook had built within his mind about Jimin. He hated himself for being wrong about Jimin's character when he prided himself over being a great observer. His predilection towards Taehyung had deluded his judgement for Jimin.

"You should hate me" He said firmly as he looked out of the window of his private ward.

Jimin smiled at Jungkook's words as his eyes held an emotional exhaust,"I'm not showing anybody sympathy, I'm just trying my best to do what is right while trying to not hurt anybody in the process" He whispered and stared at Jungkook who was now looking back at him.

Soon his face lost the smile and progressively dissolved into a frown while his lips wobbled and eyes got teary,"Bu-But it's ha-hard a-and it hu-hurts-!" Jimin squeaked out and covered his face as he shed tears.

Jungkook watched on with a guilty conscience while Jimin silently wept in his hands and sniffed.

A few moments passed and nobody said anything. Rather, none of them had any idea what should be said. The situation was so delicate, one misspoken word could cause a disaster.

Jimin had calmed down by then and just quietly sat there on the couch while he spaced out staring at the floor.

"I love him" He suddenly whispered gaining Jungkook's attention,"I realised too late but I love him and that's why it hurts this bad" He uttered and brushed back some of his hair away from his face.

"The night I found out, I wanted to hate you, I wanted to hate everyone but more than anything I wanted to hate myself, I remember thinking if only I hadn't let you in my house that day, things would have been different" He mumbled, eyes still fixed on that one spot on the floor,"But I don't want to think like that" He stated and looked up.

"I don't want to regret my actions, I want to be proud of myself because I helped a friend in need, I want to be glad I was able to be there for you so I don't want to associate it with anything negative, I don't want to change, Jungkook, I don't want to become a heartless person who starts thinking about only themselves after being hurt" He said, feeling like a burden just got off of his chest,"I don't want to feel sorry for myself anymore instead I want to be mature about this and say I'm stepping off like a gentleman" He finally finished and stood up, flashing a small smile at Jungkook's direction.

"I've left the food for Taehyung as well as his painkillers, be sure to remind him once he wakes up, lunchtime is almost over, I gotta go now" He said as his parting words and grabbed the handle to exit.

"I'll take care of him!" Jungkook suddenly spoke out with determination while Jimin glanced back at him,"Thank you for taking care of him all this time, I promise to take good care of him from now on" He said and deflated a little,"And I'm glad you helped me that day, I'll forever be grateful to have a friend like you" He whispered sincerely.

Jimin smiled at the confessed,"Don't even mention it, I save people every hour of the day, it's a side hustle at this point and no matter how friendly you act right now with me, you're not getting the invitation of my next wedding, can't risk another husband being charmed by your beautiful face" He chuckled and was at once out of the door.
_______________________

The smiley facade slipped off of Jimin's face as soon as he stepped outside of the private ward. No matter how many big and noble words he said in front of them, the pain within his heart persisted. It kept on burning and consuming him bit by bit.

The way Taehyung looked so much at peace while he snuggled up beside Jungkook and slept soundly. Jungkook was his safe place, Jimin was no longer a necessity in his life. He was just that easy to replace.

If it was that easy then why did Taehyung have to go and cause that scene last night? Why did he make Jimin feel like he'd have a hard time moving on when in fact he only needed a few hours? Did he ever even matter?

Jimin's breath started to come in short as he staggered a bit and leaned on the wall beside him for support. His chest was burning, his muscles were tightening up, he couldn't breathe.

He desperately gasped for air and fell down on the floor withering.
______________________________

"It's been half an hour, what is he doing in that ward?" Jin wondered as he walked towards the private ward where Jimin said he was heading to.

"Damn if I know, I'm hoping they're having an epic bawl though and I'm hoping Jimin's winning" Yoongi spoke aloud in an uninterested tone.

"Yoongi! They are both sick! Have some compassion!" Hoseok said as he hit Yoongi lightly on the side of his arm.

Yoongi clicked in his tongue in annoyance,"Oh yeah, they're sick alright, sick in the head" He grumbled and kept on walking.

Jin laughed out loudly at that clapped,"God forgives but Min Yoongi doesn't, he takes that grudge to his grave" He remarked in glee and swung an arm around Yoongi's shoulder as they walked in the hallway.

Hoseok sighed at that and followed behind them,"And it's not even his own beef" He whined.

Jin chuckled,"I know and that's what makes it funnier, just getting all angsty on Jimin's behalf as if he's the one who got cheated on" He cackled making Hoseok chuckle a little as well while they high fived.

Yoongi suddenly paused in his tracks as he took in the figure lying on the floor in familiar clothing. His eyes widened as the panic kicked in,"JIMIN!" He yelled and ran towards his friend.

Jin and Hoseok were stunned at the circumstances as they soon started to come into their senses and ran after Yoongi.

"Holy shit, we gotta take him to the ER!" Jin yelled as he took a hold of Jimin's torso and lifted him up.

Yoongi instantly grabbed his feet and they were rushing towards the lift while Hoseok asked others to clear the hallway a little and opened the lift door for them.
___________________________________

When Jimin opened his eyes again, his three colleagues were sitting beside him while staring at him with concerned eyes.

"You guys..." He softly spoke out as he tried to sit up only for Hoseok to gently push him down on the bed, gesturing for him to stay down.

Jimin frowned,"What happened..? Why am I on a hospital bed?" He asked.

"You had a mild cardiac arrest" Yoongi supplied, a little woeful at the condition his friend had to face.

"Yeah the nurses were calling it the broken heart syndrome" Jin pointed out with one index finger up and was immediately elbowed in the gut by Yoongi.

Jimin heard about his medical condition and stared up at the ceiling,"I was a bit careless about my health, sorry if I caused you guys trouble-"

"Jimin, you were about to die!" Yoongi cut Jimin off in a harsh tone,"The doctor said you experienced angina, shortness of breath along with arrhythmias and cardiogenic shock!" He yelled and stopped himself to massage his temples,"Stop fucking apologizing.." He breathed out, almost in relief that his friend was still alive and well.

Jin put a hand over Yoongi's shoulder and looked back at Jimin,"I agree with Yoongi, just focus on getting better and see that it never happens again, alright?" He asked and Jimin just nodded, a little guilty that he stressed out his friends.
_____________________________

Knock!

Taehyung had just reeled himself back from the bathroom after washing his hands when he heard the knock on the door and looked up to see a tall doctor entering the ward.

Jungkook looked at the new doctor who came forward and put down his files by the bedside table and looked at Taehyung,"I'm sorry but since this is the first meeting, I'd request you to wait outside while I examine the patient" He requested with a kind smile.

Taehyung blushed at the charming doctor and nodded before rolling himself out of the room.

Jungkook noticed the blush on Taehyung's face while he left and looked back at the doctor with sceptical eyes. The doctor caught his stare and flashed him a dimple smile.

Taehyung was out of the room and looked at the empty hallway, wondering what he should do next. He sighed and decided to explore the floor after he got tired of aimlessly looking out of the hallway windows.

He was admiring the neat and simple architecture of the hospital until he rounded the corner and saw Jimin with Yoongi, Hoseok and another person whom Taehyung didn't know.

He wheeled himself back and decided to listen to their conversation.

"I don't think it's necessary for couples to be separated before filing for mutual divorce but after filing you definitely need to stay separately for at least a month" The unknown person spoke out.

"That's the problem, he wants the suit to be filed as soon as possible but he also wants to stay a week with his husband who's hurt his knees and can't walk" Yoongi said instead.

Jimin was in deep thought as he looked up,"Is it possible to meet today but file the suit a week later, Jin hyung?" Jimin asked.

"As a person who has gone through this process, I'd let you know that neither you nor the lawyer has any control over the date on which the suit will be filed, that's court's decision to make so it's better that you start staying apart from today, to make things less messy in the court room" The unknown guys, who was introduced as Jin hyung, answered.

Jimin looked down,"But if we stay apart who will look after him? He needs his bandages changed twice a day and he also needs to be driven here to meet Jungkook everyday, if not me then who?" He asked a little upset.

Hoseok softly elbowed Yoongi but the other just straight up ignored him. Hoseok fumed and turned to face Jimin,"We will!" He cheered while Yoongi looked at his boyfriend like he couldn't believe him.

Jimin watched Yoongi standing beside Hoseok with concerned eyes,"Um are you sure? I don't think Yoongi hyung will like it very much" Jimin trailed off.

Hoseok tilted his head,"So what? I pay half the rent, the apartment is just as much mine as it is his, I can decide who gets to stay and if he doesn't like it he can sleep on the street" He said in a matter of factly tone.

Jimin's knittee brows started to dissolve into a relieved expression,"I'm sorry for the trouble, Hyung, it'll only be for a week, after that Jungkook will return and they both can stay together in the house" He whispered, hoping his Yoongi hyung would be a little more at ease after hearing the arrangement is only for a week.

"Um not be that person but I don't think you should leave your own house with them? The house probably holds a lot of important documents, what if you suddenly end up requiring one, one day? You can't risk going back home, it'll be better if you stay in your own house and make them stay somewhere else" Jin suggested while he leaned on the wall and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Alright, genius, if you've told us what to do then tell us where as well" Yoongi grumbled under his breath.

"Yoongi hyun-" Jimin tried to cool the situation down but he got cut off midway.

"At my house of course" Jin casually answered and turned toward Jimin,"You said he cooks and cleans right? And that he's good with kids? He's perfect for my house, I live in that big mansion all by myself and Sujin comes once a week, so he's perfect really, Hobi and Yoongi can take him while he heals his knees and after that both him and the house guest can come and stay in my house" He suggested easily.

Yoongi glared at Jin from the corner of his eyes,"If you want someone who cooks, cleans and is good with kids just keep a house help" He said nonchalantly.

Jin turned towards him with a done look,"You think I didn't try? Last time I kept a house help, he ran away with my PS5, I'd rather have someone trusted like Jimin's soon to be ex husband than some potential thief" He shrugged.

"Oh yeah? Then why don't you keep him with you for this week while he heals his knees as well?" Yoonhi hissed out.

"Because I leave for the USA tomorrow for the next 4 days and even if I didn't, taking care of someone is not my forte, rather I'm the one who needs to be taken care of, also I suck at changing bandages" Jin stated frankly.

"A grown man who still needs to be taken care of, tsk, talk about being spoiled and privileged" Yoongi countered as he glared at Jin.

Jin gasped at that,"Oh suck my dick, bitch! I worked my ass off for the past 5 years to become filthy rich of course I'd want the king treatment now!" He yelled out defensively,"And it's a win win situation, I get someone who takes care of the house while I'm out most of the time and they get food, shelter and all the other facilities that my house has to offer- YOONGI STOP SCORING AT ME LIKE I'M LOOKING FOR A SLAVE!" Jin cried out in annoyance.

Yoongi clicked his tongue and looked away,"Excuses" He grumbled.

"Yah!!" Jin yelled out as he balled his fists, ready to fight.

Jimin and Hoseok who had been watching the bickering silently started to get worried as the situation became progressively worse.

"Um guys, it's okay, he doesn't have to stay anywhere, I can just take care of him this one week, I'm sure it'll be alright we wouldn't mention it in the court and then he and Jungkook can stay at my house, I'll be sure to pack up every important document and move-"

"No"

All the four participants looked back from each other to see Taehyung sitting on his wheelchair on the other end of the hallway.

Taehyung felt a bit nervous under all those gazes which looked at him with different emotions and decided to roll himself towards them.

"Tae-Taehyung.." Jimin faintly whispered out as he felt a bit light headed and trembled a little. Fortunately, Hoseok was standing right behind him and caught him before anyone could notice. He firmly held Jimin to steady him.

Taehyung finally stopped in front of them and looked up at Jimin who was looking down at him with discomposed eyes.

"If anyone should move out, it's me" He started and paused for a moment to organize his thoughts,"It's your house, you bought it with your hard earned money, I have no right over it, I should be the one who leaves" He said firmly.

"Well at least he's self aware" Yoongi mumbled under his breath.

"Yoongi, I swear to God if you don't shut up right now..!" Hoseok hissed out in Yoongi's ear.

Yoongi felt a shiver run down his spine as he stood up to compose himself better from his slouching posture. His cheeks, a bit pink. Jin eyed him from the corner of his eyes and leaned in to whisper in his ears.

"You're into this shit, aren't you? You kinky cat poop" Jin teased mischievously.

Yoongi's blush immediately turned into a scowl as he turned towards Jin to whisper something in his ear,"Your crush literally friend zoned you, take your pathetic ass somewhere else, high schooler" He snapped only to lean back and flash a pleasant smile towards Jin who looked back at him, baffled to his core.

"Taehyung" Jimin whispered as he took one step towards his husband,"You don't have to feel that way, the house is as much yours as it is mine" He softly debated.

Taehyung shook his head in denial,"I.." He began and paused for a bit to look at Jimin and gave him a small smile,"I agreed when you asked for the divorce, right? Then shouldn't you agree with my terms as well, Jimin?" He asked tenderly.

Jimin felt like he lost all grounds of defense at Taehyung's words and just stood there silently.

Hoseok eyed the situation and deemed it necessary to step in,"Alright then it's fixed, We'll take care of Tae until his knees recover and after a week both he and Jungkook can go stay at Jin hyung's place!" He spoke out with a frowning face, internally praying for Jimin to not fall victim to another episode of cardiac failure.

Nobody protested. The arrangement was fixed.
______________________________

"I know, it's a tedious process, perhaps painful too, opening up about your past to new doctors but I need you to pull through one more time" Namjoon gently asked as he sat on the chair by Jungkook's bed.

"I would rather not recall" Jungkook grumbled under his breath and brooded while he stared out of the private ward's window.

"If you don't tell me, how can I fix you?" Namjoon asked gently as he put down his notepad and ped on the bedside table.

"You're not the first doctor I'm seeing, many tried to fix me before, they gave me pills, workouts, breathing exercises and ultimately concluded I was incurable, so don't waste your time, doctor" Jungkook provided, having given up on the idea of getting better.

"What if I tell you they never really tried to cure you?" Namjoon spoke out making Jungkook snap his head towards him in shock.

"What...?" He asked out, shaken up by that information.

"They kept on suggesting you pills and exercises, but did they ever try to eliminate the root of your problems?" Namjoon asked, speaking frankly as if he was talking to a friend instead of a patient.

Jungkook slowly shook his head in denial, too curious and stunned to speak.

Namjoon smiled and licked his lips as he leaned forward,"What if I tell you, I can help you eliminate it?" He asked while grinning,"Wouldn't you want to get better?" He let the question hand in the air as he leaned back on the chair, waiting for Jungkook's reaction.

Jungkook felt his eyes stinging,"I-I can get be-better...?" He shuttered out, unable to believe it.

Namjoon smiled,"Of course you can, so wouldn't you tell me your story?" He asked again and this time Jungkook looked way more agreeable to his demands.
____________________________

The next time Jimin saw Taehyung was in the evening when he went to go pick up his husband for their little visit to their lawyer.

Fortunately, this time around when Jimin had opened the door to Jungkook's private ward, he saw Taehyung seated on his wheelchair while Jungkook slept on the bed.

The visiting hours were coming to an end and it was time for Taehyung to leave Jungkook's side.

Their eyes met and Jimin tried to give a small smile while Taehyung did the same, though there was a sort of stiffness floating in the air.

Jimin had pushed Taehyung out of the private ward after giving the caretaker detailed instructions about Jungkook's condition and soon they were nearing Jimin's car.

Taehyung was carried in the passenger seat while Jimin had gone to return the wheelchair and came back only to round the car to get inside the driver's seat.

The vehicle purred to life and the slow agonising ride began.

"When asked about what type of divorce you want, say mutual and if they ask for reasons say differences in opinions and unable to coexist peacefully" Jimin instructed while he drove the car.

Taehyung looked back at him, watching his focused side profile,"But that's not what happened" He piped in softly.

Jimin smiled in irony,"If you say anything other than this, it will turn into a fault based trial process and it'll take way longer than a month" He answered Taehyung's queries.

Taehyung slowly nodded and went back to watching the evening sky of Seoul.

"When asked about maintenance, say yes" Jimin whispered again.

Taehyung's eyes widened as he looked back at Jimin again in disbelief,"I-I can't! You're already doing so much for me, I can't possibly-!" He tried to say but stumbled over his words multiple times.

"You've dedicated your entire life to me and my good for nothing clan, the only reason you don't have a university degree right now is because you were too busy serving me, I own you this much" Jimin informed sadly as his hand moved away from the gear and rested over Taehyung's hand,"If you refuse this I'll be worried sick, allow me this much, hmm?" He asked, turning his head momentarily to flash a bright smile at Taehyung's direction before focusing back on the road.

Taehyung kept on staring back at Jimin out of guilt. He destroyed Jimin marriage, made him want to leave his own home and now he was talking about paying maintenance. Everything that Jimin did, Taehyung felt like he was slowly getting buried under his kind gestures.

Maybe living on with a guilty conscience was his fate. That's the price he paid for breaking Jimin's trust.

Soon they reached the lawyer's chamber and were invited in by the secretary. A few gasps were heard by the other clients, while they either passed or waited for their turns, as they watched Jimin carrying Taehyung inside, as if he was a new bride.

Both him and Jimin were made to sit in a fancy little office until the young lawyer appeared through the backdoor and smiled at them. He asked many questions regarding the situation and the way they wanted to process with the divorce. Jimin answered the majority of it keeping the detail of Taehyung's affair a secret as he asked for mutual divorce.

The terms were finalized, the potential date for court appearance was decided and maintenance amount was discussed. Taehyung sat there beside Jimin quietly while they spoke in terms that flew over his head most of the times. At times like those, he regretted not having pursued a higher degree after high school.

After a while the lawyer and Jimin were standing up to shake hands, indicating that the meeting was over. The lawyers eyes fell on Taehyung before it flickered back to Jimin,"The detail that you've been living together up until now definitely won't be a problem, however I'd recommend not staying together from today onwards, the date for court appearance will probably be in a week, I hope by then he can come to the court by himself" The advocate said and Jimin just nodded before the lawyer was rushing out through the door he came in from.

Jimin turned towards Taehyung and smiled nervously,"Shall we leave?" He asked out with a deep exhale of relief as if one huge task had just been checked off from his to do list.

Taehyung didn't want to. He wouldn't get to see Jimin anymore. This was it. This was goodbye. He didn't want it, it was happening way too soon. He thought he'd be ready by now but he realised in that moment, that he, in fact, was not.

Regardless of what he was feeling internally, he was once again picked up by Jimin while he carried him out.

To Taehyung's surprise, Hoseok and Yoongi were already waiting outside for them when they neared Jimin's car. Taehyung looked up at Jimin in question.

Jimin stayed silent as he walked toward Hoseok's car and placed him down on the back seat while Hoseok held the door open for him.

"Jimin? I-I don't understand...?" Taehyung asked out in astonishment.

Jimin leaned away after settling him down and sighed,"I packed your belongings in the afternoon after coming back from the office, I took a leave and prepared it so you don't have to do it, specifically when you're knees are hurt, you luggages are in the trunk of the car, this is...goodbye, Taehyung" Jimin uttered a little hesitantly as he shifted on his spot and avoided looking at his husband.

Taehyung eyes glistened. He wasn't even granted the opportunity to say goodbye to his house. He turned his gaze away from Jimin's awkward frame and faced forward, hoping to stay angry, hoping that he'd get to leave without saying anything anymore but when Hoseok got inside the car and started the engine, Taehyung felt alarmed.

"JIMIN!" He yelled out gaining his husband's attention who was walking away,"CAN I TALK TO YOU IN PRIVATE?! PLEASE?!" He asked desperately.

Jimin looked back at him, tears running down his own eyes as well. Seeing Jimin cry, made Taehyung sob out as he gestured for Jimin to come pick him up once again.

His silent request was granted as he found himself being carried towards Jimin's car in the next second.

"What is it?" Jimin asked softly as he placed Taehyung down on the passenger seat and stood by the door, fidgeting with his fingers while he looked down at his feet and sniffed.

Taehyung stared at his childhood friend for a few seconds before he too looked down,"St-stay healthy..." He started weakly,"Eat well, don't buy too many takeouts, don't pull too many all nighters, don't stress too much before your meetings, don't stay up late watching horror movies and...don't put too much pressure on yourself" He said as he looked up to see Jimin looking at him while tears tickled down his face.

"Yo-you too.." Jimin began, his throat feeling a bit constricted,"Do-Don't be scared, they are nice people, don't try to walk before your wounds are healed, don't burden yourself by thinking you'd need to work around the house to pay them back, change your bandages twice a day, remember to take your medicines, ask them for extra pillows and blankets while sleeping, don't hesitate to let them know if you need anything, don't-" He paused for a moment to take a deep breath,"Don't forget me, Taehyung" He uttered, barely above a whisper.

Taehyung smiled within the pain,"I could never" He emphasised and reached out his hand for Jimin to hold.

Jimin took the hand offered to him and squeezed it gently before turning his attention back to Taehyung.

"I'll miss you" Taehyung squeaked out.

"I'll miss you more" Jimin responded as he finally gave in to his urges and leaned in to hug Taehyung tightly. Taehyung hugged him back just as firmly as he silently sobbed, his husband on the other hand trying to stay strong through it all.

When they leaned back, it felt like both of them had received their closure and now possessed the strength to keep on going.

This time when Jimin put him back down on the backseat of Hoseok's car, Taehyung didn't feel breathless and nauseous. Jimin had chuckled with dried tear marks on his eyes when he touched Taehyung's nose and pretended like he was pressing a button while whispering a little 'boop'. Taehyung had smiled back.

"Goodbye Jimin" Taehyung whispered while Jimin closed the door of the car.

"Goodbye Taehyung" Jimin replied as he stepped back a little and waved.

Taehyung waved back as the car started to move and soon Taehyung could no longer see Jimin. The vehicle had left the driveway.

Jimin once again watched Hoseok drive Taehyung away while Yoongi stood behind him to keep his friend company.

Jimin had stood there watching the empty driveway long after the car had driven off into the distant night view of Seoul.

Yoongi stepped forward and firmly squeezed Jimin shoulder making his colleague look back at him, as if broken out of a daze.

"Soju?" Yoongi offered without asking anything else.

Jimin smiled gratefully and nodded,"Soju."
