Jungkook trudged back to his dorm room, not really ready to face Hoseok after ditching the rest of his classes today. He was at least attending his anger management class. That was the most important one anyway. That would be the class to get him out of here.

He opened the door to his dorm room to see it completely empty and sighed with relief. Thank god for Yoongi and Hoseok being inseparable. Jungkook shut the door and trudged over towards his bed, face planting into the mattress. He didn't care that he was still wearing his clothes or his shoes as he silently drifted off to sleep yet again.

Jungkook thought he was going to sleep well with as exhausted as he'd felt the previous night. Although, that was only wishful thinking as he pushed himself up off the mattress before dawn. He groaned loudly as he rolled over onto his back, wondering why he was awake before the sun even came up. Normally when he was that tired, he slept past noon but his body naturally woke him on its own this time.

He slowly sat up as Hoseok finally walked through the door, both of them freezing. "Morning," Jungkook greeted as Hoseok yawned. "Morning? Did you just wake up? I'm just now going to bed," Hoseok stated as he slung his backpack onto the floor in front of his bed. Hoseok flopped onto his bed, kicking his shoes off and rolling over onto his side. Before long, Jungkook could hear Hoseok's even breathing as he stood to his feet. He reeled back once more, catching himself on the post of his bed before turning to change his clothes. After his clothes were changed, Jungkook left the room without another glance behind him.

Jungkook wandered aimlessly down the hallway, wondering if he'd run into anyone. It was pretty early and he didn't want to wake Taehyung if he was still currently sleeping. Taehyung needed all the rest he could get in order to recover and Jungkook wanted him to recover quickly. Not only because Jungkook wanted sex from Taehyung, but also because he had to admit that he was a tad bit worried about his health.

Jungkook coughed roughly before a harsh coughing fit hit him that lasted for several minutes, his ribs beginning to hurt from the force. He groaned softly before resuming on his aimless direction as he surprisingly bumped into someone and lost his balance. A small someone that huffed in irritation and crossed their arms over their chest as Jungkook rubbed his sore butt. When Jungkook glanced up from the ground in anger, he noticed a petite female standing in front of him. He rolled his eyes as both their stares met each other's gaze and her demeanor completely altered. "Jungkook?! It's been so long since I last saw you," she exclaimed, immediately unfolding her arms. She threw them around Jungkook's neck and dropped to her knees between his legs.

"What are you doing here, Jisoo? I didn't think you'd ever get caught doing drugs. You were always so confident about that," Jungkook declared, prying her arms from around his neck as he rolled his eyes. Jisoo bounced pleasantly on her knees before pulling away from Jungkook, playing with the hair that caressed the back of his neck. "Is that any way to speak to your FWB?" she asked, feigning hurt. Jungkook realizing he forgot to inform her about breaking things off with her after he'd got caught.

Jungkook rolled his eyes once again before scooting away from her and standing up to walk around her. "I don't need you. I have a new friend with better benefits anyway," Jungkook noted, sparing her no second glance as he continued to trudge forward. His body felt even heavier to him as he continued to walk and he felt tired again. He sighed and turned a corner to make his way back towards his dorm room without having to walk past Jisoo again.

Although, that wasn't going to happen so easily as Jisoo skipped down the hallway to catch up to him. "Where do you think you're going, handsome? You can't just leave me there. You should escort a lady," she claimed, forcefully looping her arm around his own and gripping his arm with her other while she pressed her chest into the side of him. Jungkook sighed heavily and stopped in his tracks as he looked at her, dead on. "What lady? We're not talking about you, are we? You must be joking," Jungkook goaded, attempting to pull his arm free from both of hers now.

She dug her nails viciously into his skin with a noble smile as Jungkook halted in his actions. Her nails gouged angrily into his skin and it didn't feel pleasant at all as Jungkook grit his teeth with a dramatic hiss. "So who's this new FWB you have? I didn't think you'd drop me just like that," Jisoo cooed, staring up at Jungkook with envious eyes. Jungkook glanced down at her through narrowed eyes as he continued to walk with Jisoo clinging to him. "That's none of your business," Jungkook retorted, feeling Jisoo's nails carve further into his skin.

Jungkook hissed in pain once again as he yanked his arm instantaneously from her grasp, glaring at her. Jisoo smiled pleasantly as she clasped her hands behind her back, her eyes growing dark as she smiled viciously up at Jungkook. "I will find out, love. Don't think that I won't. Then you'll be mine again," she whispered before turning on her heel and walking away from Jungkook. Jungkook sighed heavily as he coughed once again, pain radiating within his chest. He groaned softly as he touched his hand to his chest and shuddered violently before walking back towards his dorm room for more sleep.

Taehyung stretched his back, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he pushed the blankets off of his body. He was feeling better today than he had that entire week as he shifted to his side, Yeontan happily standing to his own feet to greet Taehyung. Taehyung smiled softly as he leaned down to pat Yeontan's soft and fluffy head. Taehyung slowly sat back on the bed once again, noticing a small, unfamiliar female standing in the doorway of the nurse's office.

Taehyung tilted his head as the girl stared him down with envious and dark eyes. He offered a hesitant wave, trying to be friendly even though she didn't look like she wanted to be friends. "H- Hello," he greeted softly, wondering why she stared at him with such passionate resentment. She sauntered up to him, her hips swaying as she stopped in front of him with a look of disgust. "So you're the one Jungkook is interested in?" She asked, scoffing loudly as she placed her hands on her hips.

Taehyung's eyes lit up at those words, excited to hear from someone else that Jungkook was interested in him. "I don't see what's so special about you," she spat, watching the exact moment that Taehyung's heart ripped in two. He stared up at her with a hurt expression now, trying to fight back the urge to cry in front of this strange woman. "I bet you can't even get him to tell you he loves you after you two get done fucking. He's already told me he loved me. Even when we weren't fucking," she added insult to injury, smiling wickedly.

Although, Taehyung couldn't tell if she was lying or not as he felt a sharp pain in his chest that traveled down into his stomach. "Wh- who are you?" Taehyung asked softly, feeling tears sting the corners of his eyes. She felt accomplished at the sight of those large, watery eyes. "Someone who was his girlfriend before you came into the picture and will be there for him long after he's done with you," she answered with a scorching tone, watching as Taehyung desperately wiped at his eyes to keep from crying in front of her. It was too late though, she'd already seen the first teardrops as she smiled with conviction. She turned on her heel and walked back towards the door, stopping in the doorway as she placed her hands on both sides of the door frame. "You should just back off," she tossed over her shoulder before walking off completely, silence hanging over the atmosphere behind her.

Taehyung covered his face with his hands, sobbing heavily as her words pierced every fiber of his being, shattering his heart. It hurt him to his core as Yeontan panicked frantically, pacing back and forth and patting Taehyung's legs to try and get his attention in an attempt to comfort his woeful owner.

After several more hours of sleep, Jungkook rolled over on his bed, feeling worse than ever. His head throbbed painfully and he felt his stomach rumble from starvation but he didn't feel like eating. When was the last time he'd eaten anything? He couldn't remember, but instead of feeling hungry, he felt more nausea than anything. He slowly sat up, feeling an odd sensation churn inside of his stomach. He quickly stood, feeling extreme dizziness rush over him as he reeled back before rushing forward towards the bathroom.

Hoseok watched in concern before he heard Jungkook retching the contents of his stomach into the toilet. He slowly stood, his concern for Jungkook growing as he walked into the bathroom. He gently patted Jungkook's back to help ease the pain as Jungkook pulled back, his breathing labored. "Are you absolutely sure that you are okay?" Hoseok asked softly, noticing a soft bluish tint to Jungkook's lips. "You really don't look good at all. Maybe you really should see the nurse," Hoseok suggested as Jungkook nodded, weakly. Jungkook didn't have the will to fight anyone on this anymore as Hoseok helped Jungkook to his feet.

Jungkook shuffled heavily beside Hoseok, his breathing growing increasingly labored as they made their way towards the nurse's office. Hoseok felt Jungkook's body slump even lower beside him and clutched Jungkook's arm steady around his neck as he continued to drag him now. He pushed the door to the nurse's office open, calling for the nurse as he noticed Taehyung crying loudly.

Before Hoseok could hand Jungkook off to the nurse, Jungkook's eyes snapped open at the sound of Taehyung's cries and he pushed the nurse away from him. Hoseok watched as Jungkook weakly staggered over towards Taehyung, seating himself on Taehyung's bed and pulling his head to his chest to comfort him. Rather than speak, he gasped softly, trying his best to breathe normally. He wanted to say something to comfort Taehyung but no words came out, just rapid gasps of air and gurgling sounds.

The nurse rushed over towards Jungkook and pulled him away from Taehyung to keep Taehyung from getting any sicker than he already was. "Your lips are blue! You're obviously extremely sick! Think of yourself first," the nurse shouted, tossing Jungkook onto the bed beside Taehyung's own. Jungkook fought the nurse to try and comfort Taehyung, but Hoseok helped the nurse hold him down. "Jungkook! Stop this! Tae will be fine! Please! Think of yourself first this time," Hoseok pleaded as Jungkook's will to fight slowly died down. Jungkook's body went slack in their grasps as the nurse took that opportunity to listen to his heart and lungs with his stethoscope.

The nurse withdrew from Jungkook as he lifted his hands to study his nails, noticing a bluish hue across the top of his nails. "Holy shit, how did he manage to let it get this bad?" The nurse asked as he tossed several blankets onto Jungkook. "Help me cover him with these," he instructed, unfolding the blankets and covering Jungkook completely with them.

"Let what get that bad?" Hoseok asked as he tucked the blankets under Jungkook, worried about him. The nurse looked Hoseok directly in his eye, a look of annoyance hidden deep within his gaze. "How did you not recognize the symptoms of pneumonia? Was he coughing a lot around you? Running fevers or seemed off balance a lot?"

Hoseok shook his head, feeling a little guilty now as he made sure Jungkook was covered and tucked in tight. "I'm going to call for an ambulance. He has to go to the hospital to be treated properly. Otherwise, he could die from how bad his symptoms are right now," the nurse stated softly, before walking hastily towards his office. Hoseok ran a hand through his hair as he walked over towards Taehyung, gently rubbing his back in a comforting manner. He didn't know why Taehyung was crying so hard, but he had wanted to comfort him the moment he heard his first cry of agony. Obviously, Jungkook had wanted to comfort his cries too, but he was in no condition to do so right now.

Taehyung's cries softened only slightly as his shoulders still shook with the violence of his silent sobs. Hoseok continued to rub his back, pulling him into a hug and letting the younger cry into his chest. Taehyung gripped Hoseok's shirt tightly in his fists, sniffling loudly and hiccupping alongside his soft crying. Hoseok leaned close to Taehyung's ear, whispering soft words of encouragement and comfort.

"Let it all out. Whatever is bothering you," Hoseok whispered, tightening his arms around Taehyung as he cradled the younger. "I've got you now. We can talk about this once Jungkook is taken care of," he whispered softly, keeping his lips close to Taehyung's ear. He didn't like that Taehyung was so upset and that he wasn't aware of what was bothering him.

The nurse stepped out of his office, annoyed with the sight in front of him before composing himself. It seemed everybody just wanted to be with Taehyung. Although he couldn't blame them because Taehyung wasn't only attractive, he had a magnetic personality that enticed people to him. "The ambulance should be here soon. He'll be well taken care of once he gets to the hospital," the nurse stated as he continued to watch Hoseok and Taehyung with envy.
