*Jungkook*

I need to get to hyung's place. Right. Now.

Jungkook's mind raced with thoughts as he walked passed the school grounds. The clouds start to darken and rain starts to fall, as he tugged the hood of his sweater over his head, speeding up his walking pace into a run.

What Jungkook needed to tell Taehyung was important, and Jungkook thinks he's been so blind about it, that he just realized now how much they both missed. He was also still dazed about the talk with Y/n earlier because it had went way differently than what he expected, yet he knew that there was valuable information he got. Information that could answer the past few months of their questioning.

Panting heavily, Jungkook slowed down as he got to the backdoor of Taehyung's house. Without hesitation, he twisted the handle and eased the door open, stepping in while calling out for Taehyung's attention.

"Hyung!"

No reply was heard in the house, making Jungkook slightly confused.

Where could that alien be? This is important!

Quickly searching through each room and calling for Taehyung, he finally found him, but in a different state than he expected.

Taehyung was in his room curled up, and looking quite upset and deep in thought; no smile, or actions. Jungkook cautiously steps closer, but not saying anything to break the moment.

After what seemed like 5 minutes of silence and confusion, Taehyung finally breaks out of his trance and looks up at Jungkook.

"Oh, hey Jungkook. Why are you here?" he spoke with seriousness. Jungkook remembered what he was here for and turned back towards the door, motioning Taehyung to come with him.

"You might not know this yet, so I need to tell you. Come out to the living room, Hyung."

"I know."

"You what?" Jungkook turns back around in confusion. "You don't even know what I'm talking about—"

"Yes I do."

Taehyung gets up and walks past Jungkook to the living room and slumps down, with Jungkook following behind.

"I found out about what happened earlier. Raehyun, right? He hurt Y/n?"

Straight to the point.

Jungkook nodded, somewhat surprised that Taehyung was taking things seriously this time.

"But how did you know it was him?" Jungkook asks curiously.

Taehyung doesn't give a reply but instead shrugs like he was expecting Jungkook to know about something that he didn't.

"The more important question is what was Raehyun's intention," Taehyung states. "We can't trust him anymore. I know that he's up to something, Jungkook."

Jungkook sits still and quietly nods, completely losing the agitation that was in him a bit earlier. The two both have no idea what was going on with Raehyun, but just them being together and talking about it, eases some of the stress and doubt in Jungkook.

"Now that I think about it, maybe Raehyun had done it before."

That sentence alone makes Jungkook's eyes widen, mostly in confusion as he leans forward, giving Tae a disapproving look.

"How do you know?" Jungkook questions. He was somewhat upset that Taehyung didn't say anything when Raehyun first started to act up. They could've found out about it sooner.

Taehyung huffed out a sigh like he was about to rant about something.

"I would see Y/n come home with wounds. I would help her feel better but she would never tell me who did that to her. But she told me not to speak about it."

Jungkook's heart immediately aches with sadness as he lets out a silent 'oh'. He slowly came to realize that Y/n was similar to the person he cared for the most, his sister. They were so similar in such ways that made it seem...

Taehyung sits still looking down while playing with his fingers. He thought back to the time when they both became familiar with Raehyun, and mentally scoffed.

We shouldn't have gotten involved with him.

Jungkook was still spaced out, as Taehyung pondered on what to say next. It was probably better if all of this was forgotten, but Taehyung still knew that Raehyun should be stopped.

"Hey Hyung," Jungkook spoke up. "Don't we need a plan or something?"

Taehyung tilts his head in confusion. Of course there needed to be a plan. But he had a feeling that Jungkook meant something else. Taehyung nodded but didn't say anything, waiting for Jungkook to continue.

"Um, I think Y/n is the bigger priority right now," Jungkook utters.

Oh?

Taehyung cocks his head as his mind immediately comes to the conclusion of something. Jungkook's notices Tae's mischievous smile ands smacks his shoulder with a glare.

"It's not like that!" Jungkook insists. "I.. want to help her, Hyung."

Jungkook knew that there was something that Y/n was hiding; he could see it in her eyes. Taehyung probably noticed the deep pain in her eyes too, but for Jungkook, it was the second thing he saw in her.

Taehyung huffs again, as if this was a hard topic to talk about. "Jungkook, it's hard. It's hard to get her to open up. Even I had trouble during the first place. She always keeps things to herself. It's not easy to help if you don't know the problem."

Jungkook nods at his last point but is surprised at his first.

Y/n's like that too?

I guess it'll be harder. But nothing I haven't dealt with before.
