Jeongguk held onto Jungkook, walking him back to the house. He ravenette stayed silent, trying to recuperate like Jungkook had told him to do.

He realized some of the things he said and how harsh they were. He realized some of the things he spilled from his lips but couldn't remember the exact words he told to Taehyung or all of which he was telling Jungkook.

It was a switch that flipped on, he allowed his anger to get the best of him and take over for him. Jungkook repeated some of the vile things Jeongguk said and told him he should apologize to Taehyung once they get back.

They had been walking in utter silence, wanting to just have some calm peace to relax and collect themselves, more so Jeongguk than Jungkook.

The twins made it back, Jeongguk helping his identical brother on inside before he helped him to the couch.

"Tae, we're here!" Jeongguk called, biting down on his lips as he looked up the steps to see if he could spot Taehyung coming out.

He waited for a good thirty seconds, not hearing a thing so he jogged up the steps. "Tae Baby? You here?" He hummed, pushing his door open. He figured he couldn't have gone too far considering the fact that Jeongguk took his phone away from him to find Jungkook.

The Jeon Twin didn't see Taehyung inside the room. He began to worry internally, afraid he made Taehyung run away.

Jeongguk went into Jungkook's room, looking around his brother's room briefly, not seeing him anywhere. "Fuck, Tae!" He called, running out of the room and back down the steps. "He isn't here. Fuck! Kook! I messed up!" He said, hugging himself in mere panic and concern.

Jungkook sighed. "I have an idea of where he is, but don't you think we should let him be alone right now? You insulted him, I'm sure you're the last person he wants to see." He commented with a lame shrug.

"I don't give a fuck if he hates me right now, I want to go see him. I still have his phone. How do we call him? Fuck! I let my anger control me! Shit!" Jeongguk started to feel like shit, with readers nonstop commenting on how terrible Jeongguk was, he couldn't help but to regret every last word he told Taehyung, even if he couldn't remember everything he split.

Jungkook wanted to smile. His brother felt guilt, he had before but he really did. And it was only for their shared boyfriend, Taehyung. He couldn't help his soft smile.

"Why are you smiling?" Jeongguk narrowed his brows, crossing his arms over his built chest. "What the hell is funny?"

"You caring for Tae, that's all."

"Why wouldn't I care? He's our boyfriend for crying out loud, of course I care about Taehyung."

"Don't get ahead of yourself, you're the one who scared him away,"

"Shut the fuck up. Where is Tae?" Jeongguk asked, not wanting to be reminded of the pain he caused to Taehyung even though it was savoring moments inside of his head.

"I don't know exactly where he is but if you knew him well enough, you would know he would be at Jimin's house. Or at his own, but I would bet all the money I have he's at Jimin's house. That's his best friend and he goes to him for a lot of things, especially after Minji happened." Jungkook cautiously pushed up, grunting.

Jeongguk squinted. "Minji?" He repeated with a confused tone, pursing his thin lips. "Who is Minji?" He inquired with utter curiosity.

Jungkook realized his words, biting down on his bottom lip. "I forgot you didn't know," he mumbled. "I can't tell you, Gguk. Ask Taehyung once you're both on better terms."

The slightly older was dumbfounded, shaking his head. "Whatever, let's go to Jimin's fucking house and get Tae,"

Jungkook shrugged, wincing. "When we get back, I'm icing my legs," he uttered through his busted lips, the bruises on his body throbbing.

***

Taehyung, sitting on Jimin's lap with his head on his shoulder, had his eyes shut, claiming to the older he was tired and wanted nothing more than to nap. He told Jimin the hurtful things Jeongguk said to him and how Jungkook got hurt.

He had mentioned to the aforementioned how he got reminded of his ex-lover. Ever since bringing it up a few months back, it was just stuck in his head, Taehyung was scared of everything repeating itself.

He didn't want to repeat the death of someone he loved. He didn't want to feel like the blame or the cause.

He didn't want to be hurt or hit. He didn't want any of that to happen again for it was so hurtful and traumatizing; even if it wasn't too big of a deal to Taehyung.

He believed it wasn't because he wasn't beat on a daily basis, he wasn't tortured everyday and found with new bruises. Taehyung didn't believe it was a big deal because he still loved Minji even after all of it.

Taehyung didn't think it was big deal because it was him. He didn't think it was too bad because people had it worse. He didn't think it was a big deal because he didn't do too much to change it.

Taehyung didn't think it was big deal, he thought it was stupid he hung onto it for so long.

Taehyung held in those thoughts, not wanting to be an entire burden to his best friend. To cut himself off, he ended up telling Jimin he was tired and having a hard time sleeping.

Back when it was just them, no Hoseok, Jeon Twins, Seokjin, Yoongi, or Namjoon, Jimin would 'hold' Taehyung and they would end up falling asleep with each other. Taehyung enjoyed those times truly.

Jimin rubbed soothing circles into his friend's back, one leg propping Taehyung up while the aforementioned sat on his other leg, leaning on Jimin.

The blond-haired teen had his head draped back, also trying to fall asleep somehow, very tired himself. He could practically feel the sleep approaching his sleepy mind.

That was until there was an aggressive knock on the door. Jimin huffed, looking over Taehyung who was slightly awake, who also didn't care for wanting to move. The older gently laid the boy down, standing up.

He stretched out his back and muscles, shaking his head as he let some curse words slip. Jimin walked to the door, opening it.

"He isn't here," he attempted to shut the door on their face until Jeongguk stopped the door with his foot, leaning down to Jimin's shorter height.

"Is that so? Then why did you automatically assume we came here to see whoever you're talking about? You didn't even give us a chance to ask what we were going to ask you, dumb fuck." Jeongguk hissed.

"You're right, lets start over. Hello, what is it, Jeon-Can't Stay The Fuck Away-Gguk?" Jimin hummed, keeping the door at a slight opening in hopes to hide the fact Taehyung indeed was here.

"Hey, Ji-Can't Stand At A Reasonable Height-Min, I was wondering if T-"

"No, I don't know where is he. Please check back later when I'm not busy." Jimin cut him off abruptly, getting ready to shut the door again until it was shoved open, pushing Jimin back.

"This shit is fucking annoying," Jeongguk growled before he walked on inside, Jungkook following shortly afterward. "Found him," the younger twin pointed to the now wide awake Taehyung.

Jimin opened his mouth, deciding anything he had to say wasn't important to the twins and that they wouldn't give a fuck. "Thanks for coming in, I'm glad I could welcome you into my bungalow. Take whatever you please and then proceed to get the fuck out of house."

"Shut up, for a fucking minute, won't you? Do you ever hear how annoying you are? You sound like you just got high off of fucking helium. Do me a favor and zip your stupid face," Jeongguk rose his voice.

The aforementioned turned to Taehyung, seeing as the said teen was sitting up, his lips tightly pressed into a thin line. He didn't know what to do or what to say, he just sat there, looking at only Jeongguk.

"I'm sorry," the other breathed out, his reaction instantly changing as he laid his dark onyx eye on his Pumpkin, pity lacing over his delicate features. "I'm sorry, so sorry,"

He walked closer, kneeling in front of the couch to look over Taehyung, taking his soft and gentle hands into his own. "Tae,"

The said teen bit his lip. "It's okay," he smiled weakly. "I forgive you," he nodded, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend with ease, slipping down to be directly in front of him on the floor. He pulled back, pecking his lips.

"Woah! Wait a fucking minute!" Jimin rose his voice, looking between the younger three. "You two go out?" He asked to Jeongguk and Taehyung.

Taehyung may or may not have forgot (purposely or accidentally, that was to be decided) to mention to his bestest friend in the world that he was now dating the twins.

"No," Taehyung said, shaking his head as well. "Jungkook goes out with me too!" He grinned, laying his head on Jeongguk's chest. "Sorry I didn't tell you, Jiminie-hyung, I didn't know if they wanted it to be out. I forgot you were here as well." He mentioned while yawning.

Jungkook chuckled, rolling his eyes. He hid away the pain he felt his his legs and back, hiding it so Taehyung wouldn't notice, even though he had a busted lip and bruises covering parts of him.

Jeongguk embraced his lover, holding him close. "Thank you, I'm so sorry, you mean so much to me, you have no idea, I never liked anyone the way I like you, I didn't mean the things I said." He rambled.

"Ggukie, it's okay, I forgive you, you were mad and that's understandable!" Taehyung piped, enjoying how sorry Jeongguk currently was.

"Tae, I hate to break this up, but I personally believe you should get to opening up about Minji. Jeongguk still doesn't know who he is and he has a right to know about him. It will help to make this things don't repeat itself." Jungkook spoke up.

Jimin agreed, nodding. "You don't have to go into detail but you need to speak about it or nothing will get better. You're holding onto Minji too much. You're comparing too many things to him, it isn't healthy."

Taehyung listened to them, biting on his bottom lip. He shyly shook his head, denying what they told him he should do. He felt too nervous and scared.

It was the older Jeon Twin's turn to talk about whatever the other two were on about. He gently pulled Taehyung's round face from his chest, his hands resting on his cheeks as he looked and made eye contact with the slightly older.

"I won't judge you, I won't hurt you," he assured, smiling warmly down at his handsome and extremely attractive boyfriend. He opened his lips to ask the very next question:

"Who is Minji?"
