"That's hyung to you!"

"Does anyone else hear the wind?"

"Jungkook! Stop being a brat!"

"No just me?"

"Ahh!!"

Fighting. Constantly. For days. The two youngest members of BTS have been at eachothers throats non-stop for longer than anyone would have expected. The other members were ready to lose their shit, they didn't know the full reason of the fighting to begin with. Something about Taehyung's favorite necklace going missing, something about Jungkook stealing it and selling it on Ebay for money (Which Jungkook continuously denied doing) and something about never forgiving eachother. Honestly, it had all become a blur to the rest of the members as they dealt with the constant fighting and childlike name-calling and dirty looks Jungkook and Taehyung kept throwing at eachother. The members tried multiple times to have interventions to get them to remember their place and treat eachother like the 'two peas in a pod' that they truly were. However nothing seemed to be working. Taehyung couldn't hold back making snarky or rude comments every time Jungkook came around, and Jungkook had to make sure to get the last word in every single time. Needless to say, everyone was exhausted.

To add to the stress already raging through the house, the five older members would be attending an event later that was only for people 18 and up. Jimin had just made the cut, as his birthday had just passed. Which unfortunately meant Taehyung had to stay home with Jungkook because he hadn't reached his birthday yet. The thought of the two staying home alone together had everyone on edge the entire day. The older members knew they'd do nothing but fight, if not completely burn the house down. Hobi mentioned having one of their other friends come to stay at the house too just to keep an eye on things but Taehyung refused because he "wasn't a baby who needed a babysitter, that's Jungkook."

"Please. Just for one night. Be nice to eachother. One night is all I'm asking," Namjoon was talking to Taehyung while getting his shoes on, it was almost time for him and the others to leave for the event. He was rubbing his eyebrows, stress written all over his face.

"Why don't you tell HIM to be nice?" Taehyung said angrily while pointing to Jungkook.

"Better off just not talking to eachother. Just stay in separate rooms or something," Yoongi chimed in while throwing his coat on. The members were still trying to find ways to get the two to reconcile, but they didn't have time for another intervention at the moment so their only option was to hope the two maknae's didn't rip eachother's hair out while they're gone. Jungkook stood in the hallway entrance pouting watching his hyungs get ready to go. He either wanted to go with them, although he couldn't, or have one of them stay home too. He knew he'd be lonely for the night, because obviously he wasn't about to hang out with Taehyung.

"Jungkook, Taehyung is in charge while we are gone," Namjoon demanded.

"What?! Why him?!"

"Because he's-" Namjoon got cut off.

"Because I'm older. Are you dumb or just stupid?" Taehyung stuck his tongue out at Jungkook. Jimin rolled his eyes, " Enough, both of you. For the love of God just don't even look at eachother or something. Whatever gets you two to shut up for five minutes."

"We all know I'm the more responsible one!" Jungkook cried.

"Says the one who stole my favorite necklace and sold it on ebay like a stupid little peasant!" Taehyung screamed at him.

"ENOUGH!" Jin came down the hallway, " Both of you! ENOUGH! We don't have time right now but I swear when we get home we are having a serious conversation!!!"

Jungkook and Taehyung rolled their eyes. They were both sick of these stupid conversations that were clearly getting them nowhere, they all were.

"Now Jungkook, Taehyung is in charge. Do whatever you need to just stay out of eachothers way! It's not that hard!" Hobi said as the members headed out the door.

"You hear that Jungkook? Stay out of my way," Taehyung said mockingly. Jungkook stuck his tongue out at him, and the members slammed the door behind them as they left. They weren't going to say it to their maknae's faces but as worried as they were, they were ready for some damn peace and quiet away from them.

A few hours had gone by and the two youngest managed to avoid eachother and keep separate for the majority of the time. Jungkook had been laying on his bed playing an online game with Jimin on his phone, as Jimin was pretty bored at the event he was at anyways and they had a lot of downtime. Taehyung was watching TV in the living room, but had fallen asleep on the couch. A loud sudden boom of thunder sent Jungkook flying off his bed, he was absolutely terrified of thunder.

When did the weather say it was suppose to storm?!

Whenever the weather got as bad as it was starting to sound, one of his hyungs would immediately run to him to check on him and then wouldn't leave his side until the thunder was gone. They all thought it was cute how clingy Jungkook got when he was scared. But he refused to go be with Taehyung.

No way. There is no way I'm going around Taehyung right now.

He jumped back into his bed and got under the covers, plopping headphones into his ears and blasting the game to be louder than the weather outside.

The thunder had also woken Taehyung up. It's suppose to storm? Uh that means Jungkook is about to come out here and bother me. He actually became quite surprised when he heard more thunder rolling through, and Jungkook still hadn't come running out crying, like he usually would. He ignored it for a while until the thunder had gotten ominously loud and frequent.

Where is Jungkook? Not that I care. No I don't care. But like...where is he? I'll just walk by his room or something.

Taehyung got up and crept past Jungkook's room, quite a couple times, but never heard anything. He barged the door open and saw that Jungkook was cuddled up under his blanket, he walked over and ripped the blanket off.

"Seriously Taehyung? What do you want? Leave me alone!" Jungkook yelled.

Taehyung froze for a moment, he actually wasn't sure what he wanted. What exactly was I coming in here for anyways? Definitely not to check on him, or anything.

"Uh... make me food," Taehyung started.

"Make your own damn food."

"No."

"Then starve to death for all I care."

Taehyung grabbed Jungkooks wrist to pull him off the bed in order to drag him into the kitchen, but Jungkook quickly fought out of his grip. Almost reflexively flinching, like he thought Taehyung was going to hurt him.

Just because I hate you doesn't mean I'd physically hurt you. Taehyung became a little bit confused by his own thoughts. Do I hate him?

Another wave of thunder roared through the night, making Jungkook jump.

"Ha! You know you're a wimp right? It's just noise you big baby!" Taehyung scoffed.

"Fuck off Taehyung!" Jungkook got up from his bed and pushed him towards the door, gesturing for his hyung that it was time to get out. Taehyung strolled into the kitchen to browse for something to eat. He honestly was hoping Jungkook would cook something, his maknae was a fantastic cook, but no way was he going to admit that to him right now. He settled for a bowl of ramen and plopped himself back in front of the TV.

Jungkook curled back into his bed, ending the game with Jimin. He didn't feel like playing anymore, he was starting to feel depressed. It didn't help that the thunder and rain was so bad and loud outside that even the highest volume on his phone now couldn't drowned it out. He lay there covering his ears. Whenever he was alone, he'd think about the fight him and Taehyung had gotten into. He truly didn't understand why Taehyung decided to assume he had stolen his necklace and sold it on Ebay. It was such a bizarre accusation. If he was being honest with himself, he hated fighting with Taehyung. He appreciated his hyungs trying to help them through it, but seeing that Taehyung wouldn't budge and still treated him like an ass, he treated him badly right back. What was the point in even trying to be nice? If Taehyung isn't going to act like a hyung then I'm not going to treat him like one. Jungkook knew the insults he'd been throwing at Taehyung weren't true, he just said things to try and get under Taehyung's skin considering his hyung was usually the one who started the fights anyways. He knew he loved Taehyung, he hated the fighting, and he missed their relationship, but he was going to keep his cold front up just as long as Taehyung did, because he may be a golden maknae, but he's also a stubborn one. However, he wondered if the things Taehyung would say to him were true. Does he really think I'm stupid? Is he actually sick of me? Does he hate me? Over something I definitely never did?

Another roll of thunder sent Jungkook out of his thoughts. He was starting to get a little too nervous. I'll just sit in the living room, but I won't bother him.

Taehyung watched as his maknae slowly crept into the living room with his phone and a blanket, and dropped onto the other couch. He watched his maknae curl up into the blanket and shove his phone into his face, playing a game or texting someone.

"Go away," Taehyung spat.

"Why? I'm not bothering you."

"Yes you are."

"How?"

"By being here"

"I live here too. I'm allowed to sit in the living room."

"Hyungs said to leave eachother alone."

"Yeah hyung, so leave me alone. I can sit in here."

Taehyung felt something in his heart flutter. He called me hyung? He hasn't called me hyung in days. Not that I care! He's a dick who stole my stuff and sold it! I hate him!!

Taehyung decided to just ignore him and continue watching TV. However, as much as he tried to ignore him, he couldn't help but notice Jungkook trying to hide his panic over the weather outside. He knew sometimes it could lead to his maknae having panic attacks, and he really wasn't in the mental space to handle that right now. He'll be fine. I'm right here, he knows he's fine. Or at least I think he knows he's fine? Taehyung kept instinctively glancing over at his maknae.

"What?" Jungkook asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

"What do you want?"

"What do you mean what do I want?"

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

"Because you're stupid."

"That literally makes no fuckin sense Taehyung."

Taehyung was still extremely angry with Jungkook, so there was absolutely no way he was going to admit that he was feeling protective. He wouldn't give Jungkook that satisfaction. Jungkook would think he was weak or soft if he knew. Jungkook had to know that Taehyung was still pissed at him.

Taehyung suddenly got a phone call from Jin.

"Hello?" Taehyung answered.

"Are you two okay?" Jin asked. Taehyung glanced at Jungkook, who was staring back at him in silence.

"I suppose."

"Good. Did you guys eat?"

" I did, yeah."

"Did Kookie?"

" No"

"Why not?"

" What am I? His keeper?"

"Yahh! Technically right now you are in charge of him, so yes. Make sure he eats something!"

"Okay," Taehyung hung up on Jin.

Jungkook kept staring at Taehyung, as if waiting for him to say something. Taehyung caught on, "Jinnie hyung says you need to go eat something." Jungkook nodded and headed to the kitchen, even when his oldest hyung wasn't around, he still was obedient. Taehyung strolled into the kitchen behind him, " Will you be okay if I go take a shower?"

Taehyung and Jungkook both froze. Jungkook wondered why the hell Taehyung would even care to ask if he'd be okay. And Taehyung was pissed at himself for accidentally showing any form of concern towards the maknae. He had to keep up his cold front until Jungkook admitted and apologized for what he had done and replaced the necklace!!

" I meant to say I'm going to go take a shower. Don't do anything stupid. Also you're a terrible person and I hate you." Taehyung turned around and ran to the bathroom for a shower. Jungkook stood there frozen for a second, what the fuck? His insults don't even make sense! He just says shit to say it!

Jungkook tried to shake off the resounding I hate you swirling around his head. He frowned, and wiped at his face as he brushed away a...a tear?! No! No crying! Taehyung is a dick! No crying!
He decided to hurry up and distract himself from his sadness and suppressed thunder panic and got right to cooking.

Until he heard a boom sound, and that boom sound was definitely not thunder. It came from ..inside? It sounded like it came from right down the hallway, so he knew it wasn't Taehyung because the bathroom was upstairs on the other side of the house. He heard it again, and again. He tensed up. Does he go check ? Or get Taehyung? He wasn't sure what to do until he heard the boom noise again and before he could even think he found himself running upstairs to the bathroom. He banged on the door.

"What the hell do you want?" Taehyung yelled from the other side, as he turned off the shower.

" I heard a noise," Jungkook yelled back.

"Really? You know what that's called? It's called thunder, Jungkook!"

"Hyungie it's not thunder ! It was inside!" Jungkook could feel himself starting to panic. He didn't really care about their fighting right now, he was scared, and he wanted them both to be safe.

There was silence on the other side of the door.

"Hyungie?" Jungkook called again. His voice sounded small.

" GO AWAY JUNGKOOK!" Taehyung screamed. His hyungs voice sounded different. It almost sounded like his hyung was.... crying?

"Taehyungie please , there was a noise inside and I don't know what it was."

More silence. Jungkook gave a few small knocks, but got no response in return. He gave up , and dragged his feet back downstairs, but cautiously. The weird banging noise had stopped, maybe he was just imagining it? Or maybe it had just been a branch hitting a window or something? He decided to just ignore it and got back to cooking.

Meanwhile, Taehyung sat against the bathroom door with his arms wrapped around his legs, crying into his knees.

Hyungie. He called me hyungie. As if calling me hyung wasn't enough, he had to go and call me hyungie.

Taehyung was angry, and it was becoming harder to distinguish who he was actually angry at. Was he angry at Jungkook? Or angry at himself? Hyungie was only a term Jungkook used when he was trying to show Taehyung how much he loved and cared about him. Taehyung was mad at him for using it. How was he supposed to stay so angry and mad at his maknae? Jungkook had to learn a lesson, Taehyung knew that, but he suddenly was making it hard now that he was bringing back honorifics. It was easy to be an asshole to Jungkook when Jungkook was also being an asshole back, but now his maknae was acting like 'cute jungkookie' again and it was b r e a k i n g him.

Get it together Taehyung. He was wrong for what he did and he needs to learn that.

Taehyung sat in the bathroom for a while until he composed himself and reminded himself why he had to continue to not be nice. He finally got up and headed back downstairs, meeting Jungkook in the kitchen. The two of them didn't say a word to eachother, but Taehyung gave Jungkook a small shove to make sure his maknae knew he was still angry.

"Seriously? Must you?" Jungkook asked annoyed.

"Must I what?"

"Must you start shit? Every single time?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I hate you," Taehyung replied.

Jungkook had enough, he couldn't take the fighting anymore.

"Seriously when are you going to grow up? How long are you going to hate me for? Huh? I didn't touch your stupid necklace."

"I'll hate you until you own up to it and replace it! Just admit what you did!" Taehyung argued.

"I didn't take it! And it was just a stupid fuckin necklace Taehyung! You've done nothing but treat me like shit for almost a week OVER A NECKLACE. Do you realize how much it hurts to hear from you every single day that you hate me?"

"Well if you didn't want me to hate you, you shouldn't have stolen my necklace and sold it!"

Jungkook fought back tears, this was beyond frustrating. He didn't know how to get his hyung to ever believe him. And if he wouldn't believe him, he wouldn't be nice to him either. Jungkook just wanted his Taehyungie hyung back and he was starting to realize that might never happen.

"Forget it Taehyung. I don't want to fight with you anymore. Maybe I should just do you a favor and disappear. Is that what you want?" Jungkook stared at the ground biting his lip, still fighting back tears.

"We can help you with that."

Taehyung and Jungkook both shot their heads around in complete shock at the random voice that had come from behind them. They both stood frozen in fear when they saw not one, but two women, standing in front of them, in their own kitchen?!

"Who the hell are you?!" Taehyung yelled. Jungkook was so frozen in fear he couldn't even get words out.

The two women completely ignored the question, " Oh my god!!! ITS KIM TAEHYUNG! OH MY GOD KIM TAEHYUNG!!!" The girls started jumping up and down in excitement, " WE ARE IN KIM TAEHYUNGS KITCHEN!!!"

The two members realized who they were dealing with...sasaengs, who broke into their house?!

Jungkook finally de-thawed from his frozen state when he realized these were Taehyung sasaengs, " Get the hell out of our house!"

"Shut the hell up Jeon, nobody likes you," One of them said firmly.

Oh. Not only were these Taehyung sasaengs, but also Jungkook anti's. The members were not oblivious to the type of threats anti's would leave on social media. Some of them extremely graphic.

Fuck.

"He said get the hell out of our house! How'd you even get in here?!" Taehyung yelled.

"The window, duh!" One girl replied.

Jungkook and Taehyung both had a realization that the banging Jungkook heard was them breaking in. Taehyung felt consumed with guilt for ignoring Jungkook when he tried to tell him something was wrong. How could he have been such a bad hyung? What really wasn't helping was the fact that neither of them had their phones on them, Jungkook's was still on the couch and Taehyung had no idea where his was. Taehyung moved himself to protectively stand in front of Jungkook, he didn't even give it a second thought. He would protect his maknae. "You need to get out," Taehyung demanded.

"AHHHHH!! I can't believe we are talking to TAEHYUNG!!!" The girls screamed. It's like they didn't even realize what the hell they were doing. They both stepped closer , and Jungkook gripped the back of Taehyung's shirt. He didn't know what to do. This was a situation he thought he'd never be faced with. He had training in self defense, sure, but he didn't realize that if he was ever in an actual dangerous situation all that training flew out the window and was consumed by anxiety and worst case scenarios instead.

"Hyungie..." he whispered behind Taehyung. Taehyung turned his head to look at his maknae, who was crying. Taehyung felt like his heart was literally going to burst. Whether it was instinct or pure guilt, he suddenly snapped back to reality realizing who Jungkook was to him. His maknae. His best friend. His other half. His favorite person in the entire world. His baby brother. One of the only people in this world he'd do anything to protect.

Taehyung got caught up looking at Jungkook's panicking eyes, and one of the girls snapped their attention back.

"TAEHYUNG WHAT ARE YOU GUYS FIGHTING ABOUT ??? We can help get rid of him!!! It wont be hard all three of us against him!! We actually came totally prepared for this!!" the girl whipped out a knife from her pocket.

A knife?! They have a fuckin knife?!

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Stay away from him! Stay away from both of us!" Taehyung spat as he backed up closer into Jungkook. He needed his maknae to know he wasn't going to let these girls do absolutely anything to hurt him.

"The band would be so much better without him anyways! He's nothing but a spoiled brat to the group and ruins all the songs! He'd be better off disappearing just like he said!!" One of the girls started, " Plus if you guys are fighting we'd be doing you a great service! No more stupid annoying maknae to start fights!"

Jungkook felt his heart sink lower and lower with every word these girls spoke as he continued to hide behind his hyung. For all he knew, Taehyung did want him gone. Taehyung pretty much hated him these days anyways. Maybe he should just let them stab him or something. He tried to fight the thoughts away, but couldn't. He pressed his face into Taehyungs back and began sobbing loudly. "Hyung.. I'm sorry," he cried.

Taehyung was completely caught off guard as he felt his heart shatter even more. There were two random psycho girls who broke into their house, threatening to kill Jungkook, and HE was the one apologizing?!

"Maknae don't.." Taehyung was going to tell Jungkook not to apologize, but before he could finish the sentence suddenly Jungkook bolted out from behind him towards the living room. The two girls chased him.

" NO! DONT HURT HIM! PLEASE! " Taehyung yelled as he chased after them. Jungkook dove for his phone, and pressed a button on his phone a rapid number of times which immediately sends an SOS signal to the police and an ambulance. Before he could register his next thought one of the girls was pushing him to the floor and sitting on top of him pinning him to the ground. Holy shit she's strong as hell. He tried to fight her off but couldn't, she was buff.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!!" Taehyung screamed as the other psycho held Taehyung back. She apparently was also extremely strong. "If you hurt him I swear to God you'll be sorry! Leave him alone!" Taehyung kept screaming. The girl pinning Jungkook to the floor was holding the knife against his neck. Jungkook froze, he thought if he even dared to move, it'd be the last move he ever makes. Tears poured out of his eyes as he just started at Taehyung. He didn't expect Taehyung to save him, but he loved him so much that he figured if Taehyung was the last thing he saw before he was murdered, at least he'd die happy. Whether Taehyung loved him anymore or not.

"Why shouldn't I hurt him?" the psycho girl laughed while she gently glided the knife back and forth across the maknae's neck. Not cutting him, but it was threatening enough. He squeezed his eyes shut at how cold it felt against his neck. It was also becoming impossible for him to breathe. Taehyung was now a complete sobbing mess, " Please just don't hurt him. Please, he's my best friend. I'm begging you please whatever you do just don't hurt him. I'd never want to see him get hurt," Taehyung begged.

Jungkook's heart hurt. Taehyungie does still care about me?

"But he's so...annoying," the girl with the knife chuckled as she slid one of her hands up to Jungkooks throat and squeezed it. He let out a small whimper as he fought to breathe.

"No he's not! Shut up! Just leave him alone! Get off of him!" Taehyung started fighting to get out of the grip psycho number two had on him, and he managed to escape it and dropped down next to Jungkook, trying to push the freak off of his maknae. As he fought her, Jungkook tried to get up just to be thrown back down by the other one, who had grabbed the knife. This one wasted no time and pinned him down, taking the knife while pulling the collar of his shirt down. She took it and cut him from his collar bone to the middle of his chest.

"AHHHHHHH!" Jungkook let out a heartbreaking scream as he clutched onto his now bleeding chest and curled up into a ball.

"KOOKIE NO!" Taehyung screamed. He gathered all his strength and managed to push the two crazy girls aside, picking Jungkook up into his arms. He put pressure to his maknae's chest, " You're okay, you're okay. Hyungie's got you, you'll be fine," he cried. Jungkook tried to bury himself against Taehyung as much as he could.

"STAY AWAY! GET AWAY DO YOU HEAR ME?!" Taehyung could barely finish his sentence as his voice broke just as much as his heart did. "You're crazy! Both of you crazy! How could you do this to him?! My...my...maknae.." he cried.

Sirens outside. Finally. Without saying a word, the two girls tried to run out the back door, only to be stopped by police officers standing there. Taehyung screamed, " THEM! GET THEM THEY BROKE IN! Please help him he's bleeding!"

Taehyung and Jungkook were clinging to eachother like their lives were depending on it, considering Jungkook had a giant bleeding slash across his chest, he felt like his life actually WAS depending on it. Taehyung held one hand to put pressure on the cut while cradling Jungkook with his other hand. He continuously planted kisses on his maknae's forehead, " It's okay. You're going to be okay. I promise. Hyung promises. You hear me? Hyung promises." Jungkook couldn't do anything but cry. He didn't know if he was in shock that two psychopaths literally just broke in and tried to kill him, or if he was in shock that for the first time in what felt like forever, Taehyung was holding him the same way he used to. The police immediately took the two girls and sped them away, while they had a paramedic come into the house to assess the damage. Taehyung wasn't hurt at all, and all his focus was on Jungkook. The paramedic needed to look at the cut on Jungkook's chest, but Taehyung was too nervous to hand him over. He felt protective and suddenly possessive. My maknae.

"It's okay, I'm not going to hurt him. But I have to make sure he's okay," the paramedic insisted.

"It's okay hyung," Jungkook looked at Taehyung. Taehyung melted looking at Jungkook's big doe eyes. The paramedic grabbed Jungkook from Taehyung and layed him down on the ground, lifting his shirt up. Taehyung hovered like a helicopter parent, watching the paramedics every single move.

"What's that?"

"What are you doing?"

"Now what are you doing?"

"Is he okay?"

"Will he be okay?"

"Will he die?"

"Is it bad?"

"Stitches?"

"Will he bleed to death?"

"How can I help?"

Jungkook flinched and whined when the paramedic started dabbing some kind of antiseptic onto the cut across his chest. Taehyung immediately grabbed his hand and burst into more tears. This was all too much. My poor baby. My precious maknae. Hurt.

"He won't need sutures, as the cut did not penetrate as deeply as it looks. There is a lot of blood because of the length of the cut, but butterfly stitches will heal him right up. Don't worry, he's going to be just fine."

Taehyung and Jungkook both let out a sigh of relief. Jungkook didn't need to go to the hospital, he was asked if he wanted to go, but he said no. He wanted to be home. The paramedic was putting the last butterfly stitch on Jungkook's chest when suddenly the rest of the members bolted into the house, all panting and in tears. They took one look at Jungkook and saw him laying there covered in blood, with a paramedic hovering over him. Jimin looked directly at Taehyung, and without a second thought ran at Taehyung and pushed him away from Jungkook, "What the hell did you do to him?! One night Taehyung! We left you alone together for ONE NIGHT AND YOU HURT HIM?!"

"No hyung it wasn't me!" Taehyung cried..and cried. Sobbing. He buried his face into his hands and sobbed. I was so bad to Jungkookie that hyungs thought I'd really hurt him?

"Then who was it?!" Namjoon screamed.

"It wasn't Taehyungie," Jungkook also cried, more like whispered. Everyone was taken back by the fact that Jungkook just used the honorific. It had been a while. Everyone looked around at eachother confused. A police officer came over and told them that two people had broken into the house and attacked them.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry Taehyungie!" Jimin cried as he pulled him into a hug and dragged him over to be sitting beside Jungkook. Everyone was in tears, completely distraught over the situation. Someone attacked our babies? Someone broke in and ATTACKED our two babies?!

"What..how... I locked everything before we left. And the alarms were on. How did anyone possibly break in?" Namjoon was so confused. He knows for a fact he locked everything and set the alarms. He even had Yoongi and Jin double and triple check. They were leaving their two youngest home alone, they had taken every precaution to make sure they'd have been safe.

"We checked the alarms," the officer started, " The people who broke in knew the code. They must have been watching you when you set the alarm."

Everyone's stomachs dropped. They had been stalked and didn't even know it. The officer assured them that the two girls would be taken care of properly and spend a long time behind bars. The officers headed out while the paramedic finished up cleaning the blood off Jungkook. The older members sat beside him, showering him with soft touches and warm words. And they definitely noticed how Taehyung was smothering him.

"Taehyung give him some space to breathe," Hobi told him.

"It's okay hyung," Jungkook whispered. Taehyung hadn't been affectionate in the slightest in days, he wasn't about to abandon it. The members actually couldn't tell who looked worse, Jungkook, aside from the cut, or Taehyung. Taehyung suddenly looked like he'd aged a million years in five minutes.

The paramedic packed his stuff up, " Just make sure to keep the cut clean. Try not to do anything that could pull the stitches off and try to refrain from any physical activity for a few weeks." The members all thanked the paramedic as he left.

Jungkook tried to sit up and everyone immediately put their arms out to help him. Although everyone was crying, Taehyung was a complete and utter mess. He pulled Jungkook into the tightest hug and refused to let anyone else hug him. My maknae. He felt like all the love and care and protectiveness he had kept hidden away behind his anger for days had finally boiled to the surface and it wouldn't stop pouring out of him. He loved Jungkook so much, how could he have been SO mean? Treat his only little brother SO badly? His heart ached just thinking about it. Guilt ate away at every corner of his conscience. If I had just listened when he tried to tell me. If I had just protected him.

Taehyung became completely inconsolable, his sobs probably awakening the entire neighborhood.

" I think maybe these two need a moment alone," Yoongi suggested, "Would you like a moment alone?"

Jungkook looked at Taehyung, who was nothing but a complete mess. "Yes please," the maknae requested. Everyone helped both Taehyung and Jungkook to their feet and helped them make their way to Jungkook's room. They helped Jungkook lay down on his bed and Taehyung flopped onto it next to him, pulling him into a tight hug. The rest of the members headed out of the room, making sure the two youngest didn't need anything first.

Jungkook turned to Taehyung, " Hyung, please. It's okay, they said I'd be okay," he started wiping the tears off of Taehyungs cheeks.

"I'm so sorry," Taehyung sobbed louder.

"It's not your fault..." Jungkook felt tears falling from his own eyes, " You're not the one who stabbed me."

"I've..I've..been so bad to you kookie," Taehyung tried to speak between his hyperventilating, "I'm so s-sorry . I love you so much. Please know I never meant anything I said e-ever. I love you so m-much."

"You still love me?" Jungkook asked as he wiped at his own tears. Taehyung buried his face into Jungkook's shoulder to muffle his heart-wrenching sobs. "Hyung please just take a deep breath.." Taehyungs cries were starting to worry Jungkook. He couldn't seem to calm down.

" Of course I love you! I never stopped! I was just being a dick for no reason and you never deserved it and ..and...and I'm just so sorry. I don't think you're dumb or stupid or ugly or any of those mean things. Please believe me! Kookie please believe me!"

"I do believe you hyungie. I wasn't the nicest either and I know I never meant anything I ever said to you either. I only said things to hide the hurt..."

Taehyung pulled Jungkook closer, as if he just couldn't get close enough.

"I should have never done that to you. Treated you so badly. No matter what you may or may not have done I should have n-never been so mean. I'm your hyungie. I'm supposed to protect you. And I failed. I failed.."

" You didn't Taehyungie. You couldn't have known what would happen."

" Kookie you could've been killed. What if they killed you? I was so mean to you they couldve killed you and you would have died thinking that I..I didn't love you. How would I ever live with myself? "

Jungkook didn't really know how to reply. Taehyung had a point, Jungkook did think Taehyung wouldn't have cared if he was dead. It was unfortunate that this kind of circumstance is what it took for Taehyung to realize that he did love Jungkook.

" You never have to forgive me," Taehyung cried.

"Hyung?" Jungkook took Taehyungs fingers and started playing with them, " You know I'll always forgive you," Jungkook gave Taehyung's hand a quick kiss. Taehyung couldn't understand how Jungkook could forgive him so easily when he couldn't even forgive himself. Taehyung ran his hand through Jungkook's hair, " You know I may have acted like a complete asshole but I never stopped caring about you. I didn't come in your room earlier actually wanting food."

"Then whyd you come in?"

"Thunder usually sends you running out. I got worried hearing the thunder, but not hearing you. The food thing was just an excuse. I was just being a jerk and trying to not let you see that I was worried."

Jungkook smirked, hyungie cared the whole time.

The two cuddled in silence for a while.

"I love you maknae"

" I love you too taehyungie hyung"

The two succomed to their exhaustion and passed out entangled in eachothers arms.

Outside in the living room, the members were trying to clean Jungkook's blood off the carpet. They had finally gotten most of it out when Hobi noticed something.

"Do you guys hear that?" Hobi asked.

"Hear what?" Jin replied.

"Exactly," smiled Hobi. They all looked in the direction of Jungkook's door and realized the two maknae's, for the first time in days, weren't fighting with eachtoher.

"Well, now we know who to call when it's time for the next intervention," Joked Jin. Everyone shot him a stern look.

"Too soon, I know.." Jin pouted. The members finished up and crashed on the couches, after stealing all the food Jungkook never ended up eating, of course.

"Finally...peace and quiet," sighed Namjoon.

"Will they be okay?" Jimin asked.

"Of course they will. Even if they fight it's still wired in their DNA to love eachother. It's wired into all of us," Yoongi told him.

"Now we just have one problem left," Namjoon started. Everyone stared at him confused, " We need to buy a stupid new alarm system."

"Aish!!!!" all the members groaned in unison.

"Hey guys...." Yoongi spoke up, " I think I found something." Everyone stared at him as he pulled out something long and silver from between the couch cushions.

Taehyung's stupid necklace.
