CRASH

 

Taehyung whipped his head around, eyes landing on the fallen tree branch. Even though he knew what it was, he sped up his pace, heading for the main road. Once he was on the sidewalk, his eyes flitted around looking at all the shops and buildings around him. He recognised exactly none of them.

 

Think he told himself. He knew this city but as he kept walking, he started to panic.

 

‘Where the hell am I?’

 

-

 

A few hours before ~

 

Jin groaned as he pulled open his curtains, eyes squinting. He wanted nothing more than to curl back up in bed and sleep in. However, that wasn’t happening unless he wanted to wake up to the dorm on fire. He wished Yoongi was here so that someone else could make breakfast but the rapper was in America for some project he was working on.

 

They were all on break and half of the members weren’t even in Seoul. Namjoon and Hoseok had gone back to visit their families and Jimin was with his friends in Norway, leaving Jin and the two youngest members in the dorm.

 

Jin hadn’t been stupid enough to think it would be a peaceful two weeks. Taehyung and Jungkook were the most boisterous of his dongsaengs, playing off each other’s energy and causing chaos in the process.

 

However, he was slightly unprepared for just how chaotic they were. One the first day alone, they’d made their own ice cream (and made a humongous mess) and sung karaoke all night. Then the next day they had dragged him all over Seoul to do some shopping and go to a big arcade which would have been fun if he hadn’t had a pounding headache all day. But yesterday had been the worst and he shuddered just thinking of it.

 

-

 

‘This is going to be hilarious.’ Taehyung giggled as he mixed some electric blue hair dye. ‘Leave some in Jungkook-ah.’

 

Jungkook was right next to him, emptying a bottle of conditioner into the bathroom sink. Seokjin’s conditioner to be exact.

 

‘I hope this works.’ The maknae mumbled as he glanced behind them to see if their hyung was anywhere around.

 

They both giggled as they poured the dye into the bottle and hurriedly hid all evidence of the dye, diligently placing the conditioner exactly where it had been.

 

‘All we have to do now, is wait.’ Tae sighed happily.

 

Jin had gotten into the shower after typing about a dozen emails and he wanted to just relax for a while. He took his time lathering his hair with his shampoo and then with conditioner. Just then his phone started ringing obnoxiously. He cursed under his breath and stepped out. It was his brother so he just declined the call. He would call him back later. Then he saw his reflection in the mirror and

 

‘WHAT THE FU-‘

 

 His hair, his beautiful platinum blond hair was blue. As fast as he could he scrubbed the dye out of his hair and then -still dripping wet- he wrapped a towel around himself and went to go find his dongsaengs who were no doubt behind this.

 

He could hear quiet laughter coming from Jungkook’s room and stalked in.

 

‘Yah! You punks!’ He thundered, hands on his hips.

 

Normally this would be intimidating but when they both saw him, they burst out into peals of laughter.

 

‘Hyung y-you look hilarious.’ Tae laughed holding his sides as they started to hurt.

 

‘What happened to you hyung.’ Jungkook asked him slyly and Jin sent him a glare.

 

‘Someone thought it was funny to put blue hair dye into my hair products even though I'm supposed to keep this hair for the next comeback.

 

‘It looks better now.’ Tae promised him.

 

‘Glad you both find it so funny.’ Jin grumbled. ‘Well, I'm sure that since you both had so much fun that you wouldn’t mind cleaning up the bathrooms, right?’

 

Both of them both got identical frowns on their faces.

 

‘All of the bathrooms?’ Jungkook asked and Jin nodded.

 

‘Yes. All. Now shoo.’

 

‘But hyuuung.’

 

Jin was not having it. He grabbed the maknae’s bicep and pulled him closer, bending him over slightly and landing a few swats on his butt. It wasn’t hard at all; they were more like pats but Jungkook still yelped.

 

‘Now any more arguments?’ Jin asked as he rightened the maknae.

 

Both of them shook their heads and sprinted out the door.

 

-

 

Jin frowned, picking at his hair as he brushed his teeth. He’d gotten most of the dye out but it still looked like a faded blue. After that incident he had been keeping a sharp eye on both of them which was a bit exhausting.

 

So instead of leaving breakfast to them, which would no doubt end with someone getting burned and his fridge being toppled over he was going to just make some pancakes and then hopefully have a peaceful day.

 

‘OW! HYUNG!’

 

Or not.

 

In the living room he found Tae and Jungkook throwing pillows at each other. Both of them were also shouting at each other.

 

‘Oh fuck off Jungkook! You're a cheat.’

 

‘Am not! You're a sore loser!’

 

Taehyung growled and lunged at the maknae, smacking him in the face with a pillow and knocking him on the sofa. Jungkook had abandoned his pillow and was yanking at Taehyung’s.

 

He managed to pull the pillow out of Tae’s grip and chucked it. However, his aim was completely off and it sailed over Taehyung’s head and smacked Jin in the face, knocking his glasses to the floor.

 

‘Jeon Jungkook! Kim Taehyung!’ He yelled and both of their heads snapped towards him.

 

‘Hyung…’

 

‘What on earth are you doing?’

 

‘Um.’ Tae looked at Jungkook and then plastered a grin on his face. ‘Playing.’

 

Jin raised an eyebrow and pointedly looked around the room that had pillows and cushions strewn everywhere. ‘You’re really going with that?’

 

‘We got really into it.’ Jungkook told him. ‘We’ll clean up hyung.’

 

Jin sighed and rubbed his face. He didn’t even want to know what they were doing.

 

‘No both of you go so I can clean in peace.’

 

‘Hyung are you sure?’

 

‘Yes.’

 

Both of them nodded and ran to Tae’s room. He rolled his eyes. Today was going to be a long day.

 

-

 

‘I'm hungry.’

 

Taehyung looked over at Jungkook who was sitting at his desk.

 

‘Hyung said there is ramyeon.’ Tae told him. Jin had spent the entire morning cleaning because it apparently “de-stresses” him. After that he’d shut himself in his room and told them not to bother him unless there was a flood.

 

Jungkook scrunched his face. ‘I can’t even believe I'm saying this but, I'm bored of noodles.’

 

‘Maybe we can make something.’ Tae suggested getting up off the bed and stretching. ‘And then hyung won’t have to worry about lunch.’

 

Jungkook’s eyes lit up. ‘Yes! But wait. Didn’t Jin hyung practically ban you and Namjoon from the kitchen?’

 

‘Yeah, but come on how hard is it to make pasta?’

 

Apparently pretty hard.

 

He was in charge of the noodled while Jungkook made the sauce and it seemed to be going fine but somehow the sauce started getting burnt and in the chaos the bowl holding the boiling water and noodles fell to the floor with a loud CRASH.

 

Seokjin rushed in and gaped at the mess. Then he noticed both of them and carefully walked over. He checked over both of them for burns and sighed in relief when he didn’t find any.

 

‘Are you both ok?’ He asked as he led them out of the kitchen.

 

They nodded, still a bit shocked.

 

‘Ok good.’ He nodded, placing his hands on his hips. ‘What were you trying to do?’

 

‘Make pasta.’

 

Jin raised an eyebrow. All this mess because of a simple dish like pasta?

 

‘Well, you guys should have been more careful. You could have been seriously hurt.’ He scolded.

 

 ‘Hyung we were careful…kinda.’ Jungkook mumbled.

 

‘Clearly you weren’t. I shouldn’t even have to tell you to be careful near boiling water.’

 

Taehyung couldn’t help rolling his eyes. ‘You don’t have to. We’re not children you know.’

 

‘Do you really think getting smart is a good idea right now?’ Jin waited but Taehyung didn’t respond. ‘You both are going to clean this mess up immediately and then both of you are going to go to your rooms and just stay there for a bit since you clearly can’t be left alone without destroying the house.’

 

Jungkook went with the wise option of muttering ‘Yes hyung’, bowing and hurriedly went to start cleaning up. Taehyung however stayed rooted to the spot and glared daggers at his hyung.

 

‘Hyung seriously you can’t treat us like kids.’

 

‘Taehyung-ah I'm not in the mood. Go and do what I told you.’ Jin sighed, sounding like a parent dealing with a toddler.

 

The younger boy shook his head.

 

‘Taehyung…’

 

‘I’m not a freaking child. For fucks sake.’ Taehyung grumbled under his breath.

 

Seokjin heard it and took a few steps towards the singer but then stopped himself. He was way too frustrated and too tired to deal with this right now. He would have liked to send the boy to his room so Jin could cool off but he also didn’t want to make him wait and possibly get more agitated as a result.

 

‘Give me your phone.’

 

‘What?’

 

‘You heard me.’

 

Taehyung warily handed his phone to Jin and it promptly disappeared into his hyung’s pocket. ‘Um hyung?’

 

 ‘You're grounded.’ Jin informed him. ‘No tv and no leaving the dorm.’

 

‘B-but I- what?’ Taehyung could barely wrap his head around it. ‘But I need my phone.’

 

Jin shrugged. ‘Well not anymore. You’ll get it back after a week.’

 

‘A WEEK?’

 

‘Yes.’

 

‘But-’

 

Jin raised a finger to Taehyung's lips. ‘No do not argue with me unless you want me to extend it.’

 

Taehyung definitely did not want that but he also wanted to argue back. Now was not the time however so he just nodded and went to his room.

 

‘This is ridiculous’ 

 

He sulked at the ceiling for a few minutes before dozing off into a restless nap.

 

Jin hadn’t been any happier after he’d sent them both to their rooms. He called his mom and talked with her for almost an hour but even after that he’d still felt frustrated and done. It was his break too dammit. He didn’t want to be constantly running after them.

 

Dinner had been a rather muted affair. Tae hadn’t even come for dinner saying he wasn’t hungry and Jungkook didn’t say much. Jin didn’t mind. He was planning on going out and meeting some of his friends the next day to truly take a break from the dorm.

 

-

 

Tae only came out of his room after he heard Jin say goodnight and shut himself in his room. His hyung was a deep sleeper and probably wasn’t coming out until tomorrow which was great, Tae didn’t feel like talking to him. He padded down the hall to see what his partner in crime was doing and cooed when he saw the maknae curled up on his bed, phone still playing a video he was watching.

 

‘Aish you're going to catch a cold.’ He mumbled to the sleeping boy, throwing a blanket over him and gently removing his phone from his hand, placing it on his table.

 

As quietly as he could, he tip-toed out and went to the kitchen. Opening the fridge, he scanned the shelves for something he can quickly eat as is. He had forgone dinner much to Jin’s displeasure but he hadn’t been in the mood to be around the elder. Childish sure but he was entitled to sulking for a bit.

 

He settled on eating a couple of tangerines and then without thinking gulped down a small bottle of cold coffee. Instantly he regretted it. His unplanned nap had already made him feel more awake than he probably should have but the coffee was really going to mess him up. Not ten minutes later, he felt start to kick in. Wonderful. He was not sleeping tonight that’s for sure.

 

He felt jittery. Staring out the window he realised what a calm night it was. He could actually see some stars which was a rarity. Letting out a huff he paced around the living room. A walk would help, it would really help.

 

Of course, that was out of the question. But if he could go out for just fifteen minutes and clear his head…no. Yes? His shoulders slumped. He really didn’t want to disobey Seokjin but a small walk wouldn’t hurt right? It would help his mind calm down and that was good, wasn’t it?

 

After a few more minutes of internally debating with himself he made up his mind. He grabbed a pen and paper and left a small note on the coffee table saying he was out for a walk. If his hyung found out he was leaving the dorm he would be pissed but if Jin didn’t know where Taehyung was then the older singer would probably be extremely worried and angry.

 

He pulled on his shoes and made sure to take his keys, locking the door quietly behind him. He walked briskly out of their apartment complex and towards a nearby park. He smiled as he felt the cool air drift over him, appreciating the peace. Seoul was a big city and was noisy and bustling at all hours but tonight it seemed like everyone had turned in early because there was practically no one around.

 

He stared up at the stars as he walked, completely lost in thought. He wished he had his notebook and maybe Namjoon. He was getting a lot of inspiration for some songs as he walked.

 

Suddenly there was a slight movement in front of him and he stopped, looking curiously. A small, no tiny black cat emerged from the darkness, meowing softly.

 

‘Well, hello there, cutie.’ He smiled crouching down and slowly reaching over to pet it. The cat was more than happy for the affection. It leaned into his gentle petting and purred contently. He stayed there, just petting the small thing before the cat got bored and walked away.

 

Cute.

 

He was tempted to follow it but he could tell it was getting late. He started to shiver and cursed himself for not wearing a jacket. Turning around to make his way back home, he froze.

 

He did not recognise his surroundings at all. Tae could have sworn he hadn’t walked that far but as he made his way out of the park, he realised that he was nowhere near the dorm.

 

CRASH

 

Taehyung’s head whipped around, eyes flitting around until he saw the tree branch that had fallen. Even though he knew what had startled him, he still sped up his pace, aiming to get to the main road. Once he got on the sidewalk he looked around and recognized nothing. No buildings or shops that looked familiar.

 

‘Ok no need to panic.’ He told himself. He knew this city; he could find his way back. But as he wandered around, he realised he had absolutely no idea where he was or what to do.

 

‘What the fuck should I do?’

 

Somehow getting lost in his own city was more stressful than getting lost in a foreign country. Granted that time he had his cameraman and his fricking phone.

 

To make matters even worse, the once clear sky had gotten cloudy and he didn’t even realise it until he felt drops of water fall on his head. The slight drizzle soon turned into a heavy downpour and Tae was close to tears.

 

If he was thinking rationally, he probably would have been able to figure out a way to contact someone and get himself out of this mess but the panic was clouding his brain. All he could do was walk in the direction he assumed he came from and prayed that he was right.

 

-

 

Jin sighed as he stared out of the window from his bed. He had planned on turning in early for the night and getting rid of the headache that had started to irritate him around dinner. Said headache was not letting him fall asleep however. It wasn’t bad but it hurt just enough that he couldn’t forget it was there.

 

He also wanted to talk to Taehyung. The younger boy was still angry with him, he knew that. He had wanted to give him some space but he just wanted to go and hug his dongsaeng. He was sure that he wouldn’t be able to sleep when his mind was still racing and knowing Tae, the singer was also probably agitated.

 

Getting up he sleepily walked over to the singer’s room and knocked.

 

‘Tae-ah? I'm coming in.’ He said softly.

 

Unsurprised by the lack of response, he just gently slid onto the bed and reached over for his sleeping maknae. As he moved, he could feel only the blankets. It took a few seconds for his sleep addled brain to realise that Taehyung was not here. He sat up, frowning.

 

‘Tae?’ He called, walking by all the rooms.

 

He wondered if he was with Jungkook and pushed open the maknae’s door. He instantly realised that Jungkook was the only one in the room. He could feel his heart begin to pound but he forced himself to breath.

 

He walked over to Jungkook and gently shook him awake.

 

‘Kookie, do you know where Taehyung is?’

 

Jungkook sat up and looked worriedly at his hyung. ‘No. He’s not in the dorm?’

 

Jin shook his head, now very concerned. ‘I’m going to  BigHit to see if he’s there.’

 

‘Do you think he’s ok?’

 

‘I- I'm not sure.’ Jin answered truthfully. ‘But don’t worry and don’t leave the dorm.’

 

Jungkook nodded and Jin wanted to hug him and assure him that everything would be fine but he needed to go and look for Taehyung. As he grabbed his car keys, he saw a note on the coffee table.

 

Hyung I'm just out for a walk…sorry.

                    -Taehyung.

 

This did nothing to calm Seokjin’s nerves. What was that boy thinking? Going out at this time of the night, not even to the company building where it was safe but just outside where anyone could find him?

 

‘Please let him be ok.’

 

-

 

This was hands down the worst night of Tae’s life. He was absolutely soaked to the bone and he was freezing. Just when he was about to give up and find a 24/7 café to stay in, he saw a familiar sushi restaurant. It was almost an hour from the dorm but he knew how to get back. He ran as fast as he could, stopping only when he had to wait to cross the road. He tried to catch his breath and then he saw something.

 

A big black car with tinted windows. The licence plate… no way. Jin’s licence plate! He rushed over and pounded on the window, startling the person inside. The window rolled down and he almost died from relief right there.

 

‘Taehyung?!’

 

The passenger door opened and Jin yanked him inside. Tae couldn’t even say anything, he just hugged his hyung. Jin reciprocated the hug and he felt all the tension and panic leave him.

 

He just hugged his dongsaeng, pulling away only when the light turned green. However, as the panic left him, it was slowly replaced with anger and disappointment.

 

‘Call Jungkook.’ He said, breaking the silence as he drove them back home.

 

Taehyung gave him a confused look but took the elder’s phone and called the maknae.

 

‘Hyung? Did you find him?’

 

‘Yeah, he did.’ Tae said with a nervous laugh.

 

‘DO YOU FIND THIS FUNNY?!’

 

Tae pulled the phone away from his ear, wincing.

 

‘DO YOU KNOW HOW SCARED I WAS HYUNG?’

 

Jin took the phone from Taehyung’s hand and spoke calmly. ‘He’s ok Jungkook-ah, please calm down.’

 

Jungkook mumbled something and Jin hummed before saying goodbye and hanging up.

 

‘He’s not happy.’ Tae muttered, pouting at his hyung.

 

‘Neither am I.’

 

Tae sighed, not responding. He just wanted to get home. When they parked the car and he was getting out he saw a figure walking towards them and winced. He was not excited to hear what the maknae wanted to tell him.

 

‘You’re stupid.’ Jungkook said in greeting and wrapped a warm towel around him.

 

Tae sent him a grateful look and both of them started to follow Seokjin who had already started making his way to their apartment. When they got inside, Jin was pacing around the living room, pinching the bridge of his nose.

 

‘Taehyung, we need to talk.’

 

Both of them knew what that meant so the maknae quickly excused himself to give them both some privacy. Tae sent Jungkook a pleading look but he knew that the maknae couldn’t dissuade Jin. Maybe if Hoseok was here but sadly the dancer wasn’t.

 

‘Hyung I-‘

 

Jin held up his hand. ‘First take a shower.’

 

Taehyung didn’t want to take a shower. He knew what was coming and he wanted to get it over with and then cuddle with his hyung. But when Jin raised an eyebrow and jerked his head in the direction of his bathroom Tae groaned and trudged to the bathroom.

 

Jin watched him leave and let out what felt like the five hundredth sigh today. All he wanted to do was curl up in bed and go to sleep. But he couldn’t do that. Taehyung had snuck out even when Jin specifically told him not to and Jin just couldn’t let that go. Not only did he directly disobey him but he put himself in danger. Either one of those would have gotten Taehyung in serious trouble but together? Jin knew he was in for the long haul.

 

He had to mentally prepare himself. When it had set in that Taehyung was ok and with him, he had felt something close to fury. He had been able to keep his temper in check by just not talking to the younger boy but that wouldn’t work now. So, he made himself some hot chocolate and tried to calm down. He was grateful that Taehyung had apparently decided to take his time with the shower because even when he heard soft footsteps padding back to the living room, he was still quite frustrated.

 

He saw the singer hovering in the doorway and wordlessly beckoned him over. He debated just sending Taehyung to bed and dealing with this in the morning but on look at the younger boy put that line of thought to rest. Taehyung already looked like he was on the verge of tears and Jin knew that neither of them would be able to sleep unless he dealt with this now. Wishing Yoongi was here instead of him he sat down and pulled Tae to stand between his legs.

 

‘Taehyung, I don’t think I need to explain why you're in trouble do I?’

 

‘No hyung.’

 

 

Jin nodded and pulled the younger boy over his lap. Taking a deep breath, he readied himself. Taehyung had thankfully bent over willingly and other than the occasional squirming was behaving himself. It seemed that he knew he had really crossed the line tonight. He quickly pulled Tae’s sweatpants and underwear down to his knees causing the younger boy to let out a whine.

 

‘Shush.’

 

Jin raised his hand and brought it down sharply. Then another four times one the same area. He switched over to the next side and did the same thing, switching back and forth bringing the boy’s bottom to a pale pink.

 

Tae for the most part was keeping quiet. He knew that this would go on for a while and he wanted to try and make it at least halfway before the waterworks started.

 

Smack smack smack smack

 

Fuck. That hurt.

 

Jin’s hand must be made of fucking stone. Despite his best efforts to be good and not squirm it was becoming increasingly hard to stay still. Jin’s hand was unrelenting and he wasn’t lecturing so all of Taehyung’s attention was drawn to the painful burning on his ass.

 

‘Ow ow hyung!’

 

He whined when he got no response and kicked his foot slightly. Jin paused for a second but then got right back to smacking the singer’s butt. It was becoming red and he wasn’t halfway done yet.

 

Smack smack smack

 

‘You directly disobeyed me.’ Jin scolded. ‘And you very well know how dangerous it is at night especially for idols. What on earth were you thinking?’

 

‘Ah! Hyung I-I'm sorrrry.’

 

Smack

 

‘Is that what I asked?’

 

‘Nooo!’ Taehyung whimpered. ‘I needed some fresh air hyung.’

 

‘Then you should have opened a window, not snuck out like a rebellious teenager.’

 

Taehyung kept letting out small whines but Jin ignored it, moving his hand to Tae’s thighs and set to work turning them the same colour as his butt. Taehyung whimpered and squirmed around but otherwise tried to keep the pained yelps from escaping this throat.

 

‘We’ve had this discussion before and I was sure I made myself quite clear that I will not put up with you sneaking out. Anything could have happened and I wouldn’t have known.’ Jin had to take a deep breath, calming himself.

 

‘I’m so sorry. Hyung!’

 

‘You will be.’

 

Jin ramped up the spanking, bringing Taehyung’s bottom to a deep red. The younger boy was now letting out pained hisses, clenching his eyes shut.

 

Then, he was upright. He sent Jin a confused look. Was it over?

 

‘Bring me my belt.’

 

Fuck

 

‘Hyuuung no.’ He whined giving Jin his best puppy dog eyes. Getting smacked with the belt was one thing but getting it and willingly giving it to Jin was just humiliating.

 

Jin just raised an eyebrow, completely immune to the singer’s pleading.

 

Taehyung whine but turned and walked to Jin’s room as slowly as he could. Walking over to Jin’s closet he saw it hanging in there. Jin’s belt was possibly the worst thing the singer could use on Tae. Unlike a slipper or ruler, it would leave a heavy soreness which would no doubt last through the nest day. he debated hiding it and all of Jin’s other belts but he knew that would be ridiculous so he reluctantly grabbed it and went back to his hyung.

 

Jin wordlessly held out his hand expectantly. Taehyung hesitated for a split second and then handed it to the older singer. The older singer gestured him to bend over the arm of the couch. He then raised it implement and brought it down sharply right in the middle of the younger boy’s butt.

 

‘Fuck!’

 

Jin tsk’d. ‘Language Taehyung.’

 

‘It huuuurts.’

 

Jin rolled his eyes at the dramatics and brought the belt down twice more. Tae had to bite his lip to keep from yelling and waking up the neighbourhood. Clenching his fists, he tried to take it quietly and get it over with.

 

Smack smack smack smack

 

Tae let out an involuntary whimper, kicking his feet up a bit.

 

‘Keep your feet on the ground.’ Jin chastised.

 

 The places where the belt had landed had deeper red splotches and Jin knew he couldn’t keep this up for much longer lest he bruise the singer.

 

‘Taehyung, I hope we never have this conversation again.’

 

‘W-we won’t! I promise!’

 

Jin hummed and brought the belt down five more times, causing Tae to let out a choked sob. Jin let him lie on the couch for a few minutes until his sobs turned into soft hiccups.

 

‘Up.’ Jin murmured and helped the younger boy to his feet, leading them to Tae’s room.’

 

Tae was too tired to protest and lay down as Jin threw a blanket over him. But then the older singer left the room.

 

Taehyung immediately sat up and hissed. He waited a few minutes to see if Jin was going to get something but then he heard his hyung’s door close. What? Jin had barely said anything to him and he hadn’t hugged him or told him everything was fine. Maybe that was a bit childish but it was part of the routine. Jin always babied and coddled his dongsaengs after punishment even if he didn’t punish them.

 

‘Is he still angry?’

 

That was the only reason Taehyung could think of. Wiping a few residue tears, he slowly crept out of bed and made his way to Jungkook’s room. As quietly as he could, he lay next to the maknae and even though he was fast asleep, Jungkook tossed a hand over Tae’s waist and cuddled up next to him. Only after a while of listening to the maknae’s quiet snores was Taehyung able to fall asleep.

 

-

 

Tae was woken up by Jungkook the next day. He wanted to talk to his hyung at breakfast but Jin was nowhere to be found. According to Jungkook he’d been doing some work and that he was on a call with their managers but Tae tuned him out after a bit. All he heard was that his hyung was basically avoiding him and he had no idea why. He had apologised repeated and Jin had punished him so why was his hyung still angry.

 

‘What if I pushed him too far and now, he hates me?’

 

He shook his head. No, he wasn’t going down that train of thought. Getting up with determination he walked to Jin’s room and practically pounded on the door. He heard Jin’s muffled voice saying he was busy but he didn’t care and pushed open the door. Jin was furiously typing away on his computer.

 

 

‘I said I was-‘ Jin turned away from his laptop and looked at Taehyung. ‘Tae-ah? Do you need something?’

 

All the courage Tae had gathered left his body and he could feel tears welling up in his eyes again.

 

‘H-hyung…’

 

He rushed to Seokjin and buried his face in the older singer’s shoulder. Jin wrapped his arms around him and rubbed his back, slightly confused.

 

‘Do you…hate me?’

 

Jin’s eyes widened at the soft whisper and he pulled Taehyung away, holding him at arm’s length.

 

‘What?’

 

The younger boy wouldn’t meet his eyes. ‘Well it’s just… yesterday and then I didn’t see you today and-‘

 

Jin could barely follow Tae’s mumbling but then it clicked and he felt like kicking himself.

 

‘Aish Taehyungie, no. No, I could never ever hate you.’

 

Tae looked up at him, lip wobbling. ‘But last night…’

 

‘I was just very tired Tae. I mean it was almost four am. And honestly I was a bit frustrated.’ Jin admitted. ‘This isn’t the first time we’ve discussed you sneaking out. I was going to come and talk to you this morning but Sejin-hyung needed me to do somethings and I just got caught up.’

 

Taehyung sniffled. ‘So, you’re not mad?’

 

‘No, I'm not.’ Jin reassured him, pulling the singer into another hug.

 

They stood like that for a few minutes before Jin pulled away.

 

‘I have an idea.’ He stated wiggling his eyebrows. ‘How about we all go see a movie?’

 

‘Aren’t I grounded?’

 

Jin waved his hand. ‘Consider this my apology to you. Unless you want to be grounded?’

 

‘NO!’

 

Jin laughed. ‘Go get Jungkookie. We’ll leave in ten.’

 

‘Yes! Oh we should go to that new arcade that opened and I heard that there was some new showing in that museum in Incheon and-‘ Tae kept talking to himself as he rushed to go get the maknae.

 

Jin rolled his eyes fondly and followed him.
