Jimin's House

3:30 A.M.

JM: So if you wanna...ummm...sleep on my bed you can, I can always take the couch.

TH: Nahhhh. Let me take the couch, it's your bed after all.

JM: Hah! Okay.

(JIMIN MOVES TO LAY ON HIS BED. TAEHYUNG HESITATES BY THE DOOR)

TH: Ummm...I know it's super late and all but...can we talk?

JM: Hmm? (JIMIN SHIFTS TO A SITTING POSITION ON BED) What about?

TH: Everything. Tonight. What happened?

JM (SIGHING): Fuck if I know. I miss Yoongi...

TH: Yeah...I miss Jungkook.

JM: Y'know, I never expected you to end up like me...like me and Yoongi. I always thought you were closed off, making fun of us for being clingy. It couldn't have been that much of a surprise when we told you guys, right?

TH: Yeahhhh me and Kookie banked on your relationship a long time ago. It was old news.

JM: Oh...um-

TH: Not to sound mean or anything, it's just-

JM: Yeah...

(SILENCE FILLS ROOM)

TH: So...

JM: When exactly did you know that you liked Jungkook? I mean, you two would fight constantly, bickering like children. I'm surprised you two actually liked each other the whole time.

TH: Hahaha...that's a funny story actually...

JM: I've always liked Yoongi, so I don't exactly remember the exact moment when I knew. Obviously you had something like that?

TH: Yeah. It was two years ago when he first joined the team. Do you remember how small and scared he was of the rest of us? Anyway, he asked me for help with one of the plays and I was being an asshole to him because he wasn't picking it up. He kept getting the wrong angle on his stick and dropping the ball. Eventually, I told him to practice on his own because I wasn't going to stick around to watch an amateur. He said something that I'll never forget.

JM: And that was?

TH: He told me, 'go fuck yourself, Taehyung, I'll get it right and show you.' 

(JIMIN LAUGHS, PULLING COVERS OVER HIMSELF)

JM: Oh yeah? Well that explains where he got his feistiness from. He never used to be such a pain in the ass until you started egging him on. 

TH: Hmm...now that you say it...wow, I never realized that. 

JM: They say lovers act alike.

(TAEHYUNG CRINGES, BUT LAUGHS)

TH: Well, you and Yoongi aren't really that similar. Yoongi has a lot of problems, no offense, and it doesn't really seem-

JM: Hahahahah!

TH (RAISES AN EYEBROW): What's so funny?

JM: Me and Yoongi are very similar...it just doesn't seem like it. When we're together we're basically one and the same.

TH: Hmmm...I don't get it.

JM: Hahahah. Not everyone is so clear cut on the inside as they are on the outside, Taehyung. Now, aren't you tired? Let's get some rest-

TH: Wait, I have a question.

JM: ...yes?

TH: Aren't you like, well, aren't you worried that Yoongi will get in trouble for a crime he didn't commit? Because of his past? I'm pretty sure they are targeting him closely-

JM: No. I'm not that worried, honestly. Namjoon seems to be the one Paul is mad with. I feel bad for Jin though, don't you?

TH: Why do you say that?

(TAEHYUNG SITS DOWN ON EDGE OF BED)

JM: Jin clearly didn't commit the crime. Didn't you hear what they said about the fingerprints on the murder weapon? Jin's and Hoseok's were the only two print sets not found on there. Doesn't that seem fishy to you? And it was kinda obvious that Jin was lying. Do you really think he did it? No one did. I don't know why Namjoon made him say so.

TH: ...well...

JM: Well what? Do you not agree with me? How could you not-

TH: I think Jin must have had a valid reason for lying. Not only Namjoon pressuring him. Maybe it's like...maybe he's being...threatened?

(JIMIN FREEZES, WATCHES TAEHYUNG)

JM: But how would you know, Taehyung?

TH: I don't know! I said maybe didn't I-

JM: Hmm...then can I say something?

TH: ...what...?

JM: Maybe he's covering for Jungkook. He did have high levels of steroids in his system. Did you know about his doping?

(TAEHYUNG FROWNS, SHAKING HIS HEAD)

TH: I--I, well no. I had no idea. That came just as much as a shock to me as it did to you. I've noticed him building a lot more muscle mass now, but...

JM: But you thought he was just improving so that he could beat you?

TH: Beat me? What, is this some competition now of who's the best player? No, I think he might've wanted to self improve and just took it too far...he didn't even seem more aggressive than usual...

JM: No, he didn't. But I think it could have affected him. I mean, I don't personally know Jungkook that well-

TH: Jimin, he didn't kill Violeta.

JM: No? 

(TAEHYUNG STANDS UP OFF BED)

TH: What do you mean 'no?' Do you really think he did? Not Namjoon? Nor, and I'm so sorry if this offends you--your silent boyfriend Yoongi?

JM: ...

TH: So now you aren't going to talk-

JM: Don't you dare bring Yoongi into this.

TH: That's kind of hypocritical though. You can smack talk Jungkook but I can't say shit about Yoongi who has killed people before! I mean, how does that not look suspicious Jimin! It's like you're blinded by love-

JM: Get the fuck out of my room.

TH: That you--wait, what?

JM: I said get the fuck out of my room. I don't want to hear anything about Yoongi and how this could be his fault because it isn't. None of it is. 

TH: Okay...chill. I won't say anything bad about Yoongi-

(JIMIN SITS UP IN BED SUDDENLY)

JM: You can get out now.

TH (WARY): But I thought I just cleared it up? I won't say a word-

JM: KIM TAEHYUNG LEAVE RIGHT NOW BEFORE I MAKE YOU.

(TAEHYUNG JUMPS, WIDE EYED)

TH: Okay! Geez, what the fuck got you so angry! Goodnight then!

(JIMIN CLENCHES FISTS AS TAEHYUNG GOES TO LEAVE ROOM)

JM: Hey, Taehyung?

(TAEHYUNG PAUSES BY DOOR, LOOKS BACK WITH CONFUSED FACE)

TH: W-what?

JM: What time is it?

(TAEHYUNG WAITS FOR JIMIN TO SAY MORE. JIMIN WAITS FOR TAEHYUNG TO ANSWER)

TH: Wait...are you fucking kidding or something? I don't know, like three, four in the morning. Why?

(JIMIN BLINKS IN UNDERSTANDING AND STARTS COUNTING ON HIS FINGERS)

JM (incoherently): ...seven...eight, no why--but I...nope...it should be...eleven...twelve...

TH: Uhhhh...is that bad? What, are you going in for surgery and can't eat for 24 hours? What's the deal?

JM: ...fourteen? No no, fifteen...

TH: Huh...yeah--okay, I'm just going to leave now-

JM: WAIT!

(TAEHYUNG PAUSES, THOROUGHLY CONFUSED)

TH: Yes?

JM: My...my...

TH: Your...?

JM (RUBS EYES): I think Yoongi will be okay, right? Do you think so?

TH: Um...heh...Jimin, I think you're extremely sleep deprived. Let's just go to bed.

JM: Okay...

(TAEHYUNG FINALLY MOVES TO LEAVE)

JM: Where are you going? Aren't you sleeping in here?

TH: No...? You told me to leave?

JM: Oh. I did...told you to leave...okay. Well, you don't have to. You can sleep on the floor or in my bed, I don't mind. 

(JIMIN SMILES KINDLY AT HIM BEFORE LYING DOWN ON HIS SIDE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, JIMIN IS ASLEEP)

TH: Jimin? 

JM (SNORING): ...

(TAEHYUNG HESITANTLY MOVES TO LAY HIMSELF ON GROUND NEXT TO BED)

TH (WHISPERING): What...the actual...fuck...

(TAEHYUNG FALLS ASLEEP)
