Chapter Nineteen: Messy apartment

"He seems okey," Taehyung said, then went on to explain something about his ear drums being damaged but i couldn't keep up, I did however catch, "He's fine, just stay away from loud noises and I'll give you some medication for headaches."

Jimin nodded and took the medication, then went up to the rooms also, most of the others went up also but I was bored so I decided to explore a little. Found a pool, that's nice. This hotel seems quite fancy, but we were only in the living quarters so far so we don't know about any of the shit here.

I took most of my clothes off and got in, unfortunately I was advised not to get my arm wet so I was just sitting there helplessly and eventually fell asleep. Both my arms were on the sides so it didn't get wet, the next time I woke up my shoulders were getting massaged.

I looked up and smiled when I saw Hoseok hyung gently rubbing his hands over my shoulders, "you need to come inside..." He whispered to me, I nodded, smiling sleepily and sitting up. I noticed that it was dark already, "How long was I sleeping for- umm, what time is it?" I asked at first how long but realized he wouldnt know, so instead I asked the time.

"It's nine pm." He answered, helping me out of the pool, I've been asleep for almost five hours then, we went inside and went to the lobby. Everyone was eating dinner, "Why are y'all eating so late?" I asked, my brain still a bit foggy from being asleep.

"Most of us fell asleep, but why are you wet?" Yoongi answered, "I found him in the pool sleeping." Hoseok answered for me, I sat down in front of a coffee table Jimin's and Taehyung's dinner was on and opened my mouth asking for one of them to feed me.

Jimin of course being the first, gently putting some kind of meat in my mouth, "Mm, this is good." I mumbled, my mouth still full, "Thank you." Seokjin? "You can cook?" I ask, assuming he was saying 'thank you' because he made it.

He nodded, "My eomma owns a restaurant in Bosan." He answered, I said 'ohhh' but my voice muffled. I swallowed and asked for another bite by Jimin which was given to me.

"Stop leaching and get your own." Taehyung scolded, pointing with his lips to the table with more food on it, I happily got up and got myself food and took a moment to realize the change in furniture.

Before it was a cafe, with tables placed randomly, but now it was moved closer to each other, some couches and coffee tables and normal big tables with chairs forming a circle around one big table that used to be the pool table but there was a clothe over it now.

I went back to the coffee table Jimin and Taehyung was using and sat down on the floor again to eat, I was starving. I don't think I've eaten in the last two days.

Jimin smiled at me, petting my head gently. "We were going to wait for you, but Hobi hyung took too long to find you." He said, as if apologizing, I give him a simple nod, not really caring at all.

"Thank you for the food Seokjin-ssi." I say, "Oh, and we also decided to speak casually." Yoongi added, that makes things more comfortable. Speaking formally just makes it awkward, it highlights the fact that most of us are all strangers forced to get along.

"Thanks for the food hyung." I rephrase my words into speaking casually, he nodded and smiled at me, he has a nice smile. It looks friendly.

"Dinner wasn't the only reason we wanted you here, Jungkook." Namjoon suddenly said, his voice wasnt loud but it was hard to miss, it's stern and dominant like the other times he was mad at me.

Immediately going back to my childhood I exclaim, "I didn't do it!" Always being the trouble maker or always being blamed for trouble making it was my first instinct, Jimin laughed as he calmed me down, "you're not in trouble Jungkook."

"Ive heard that before." I mumbled, ready to defend myself as I hadn't actually done anything yet, yet.

"Calm down trouble maker, we just want to talk to you." See? I'm in trouble, no one wants to just 'talk' anymore.

Taehyung sighed, "Against my greatest instinct to keep you here and grounded, we all decided that we needed to go back to our homes."

"We're staying here in the long run, but we need clothes and I'll assume a lot of you has personal items you'd like to get, so tomorrow, we're going to split into three groups; You, Jimin and Taehyung, me and Jin, and Yoongi as Hoseok." Namjoon explained.

Seems alright, I've been so bored, I could use a bit of action, "i still don't understand why Jimin can't just get his things, they're siblings. They should know what who wants." Taehyung kept protesting, I stuck my tongue out at him and got a slap on the head in return.

"I know what clothes he'll want but he has a lot of things he's protective over, I don't want to accidentally forget something important cause we likely won't be going back until this whole thing is sorted out."

"I'll go! I'll go, I'll go..." I said each 'ill go' with a different enthusiasm, first really excited then neutral when Taehyung glared at me then almost at a whisper when his glare got scarier, "why do you want me to stay bored?...." I mumbled.

"I don't want you to stay bored, I want you to keep your arm. It's infected already, one more encounter with either one of those things and it's gone."

"Don't be so dramatic! You're just second guessing yourself." I say annoyed, then felt him slap my arm, I gasp, "Stop. Doing that." I say through gritted teeth.

"See? Stop fooling yourself, you're not invincible." He said, sounding annoyed, "Neither are you..." I mumbled, I hate this feeling of being weaker then everyone else. I'm an altha, I'm supposed to be strong.

"Enough, fighting like this gets us no where, Jungkooks coming." Yoongi said sternly, Taehyung scoffed and leaned back on the couch he was sitting on, crossing his arms annoyed.

The next day we were all splitting up into the group's Namjoon had assigned, me and Jimin went to Taehyung's apartment first, "I thought you loved ***in*** dorms, not near them." I say, looking around the living area. It's messier then I imagined.

"You've never been here before?" Jimin asked, heading straight to what I'd assume would be the kitchen while Taehyung went to his bedroom, "Why would I? What could I possibly be doing here??"

I followed Jimin and saw him getting glasses out of the cabinets then bend down right beneath it to get some kind of- oh, it's water favouring.

"I see you've been here well enough to get comfortable." I say, my voice clearly annoyed, to which I received a chuckle.

"Of course I have, where did you think I was going all those times I snuck out?" Jimin added the water flavouring powder to a glass, but using only half of the package and putting the rest into a different glass, then adding another packet to the same glass. Ew, that'll be way too strong. He added one packet to the third and then got water from the fridge and filled each glass.

"Take this to Taehyungie." He says, handing me two of the glasses, one clearly way stronger then the other.

"Of course he'll drunk something this rancid- wait! How do you even know how he likes it?!" I exlciam, even more annoyed now, again only receiving a chuckle. "Just take it, and be nice."

"Humff." I make a sound I wish I hadn't out of pure jealousy, dramatically turning around and stomping my way to his bedroom, "Where are you, you two faced motherfucking peace of shit!" I exclaim annoyed after having walked straight into the bathroom.

"I'm in here!" Oh, that's my fault, I saw him going in there a little bit ago and just used the wrong door.

"Here." I say, my teeth nearly gritting from jealousy as I aggressively hand him the glass, secretly hoping he'd choke by how strong Jimin made it.

"Well thank you kindly." He smirks, taking the glass and drinking some, but he didn't even flinch, how do you drink it that strong anyway?!

I look around and notice a suitcase on the bed, his closet is messed up and there's a fishtank on his desk? I go near the tank and my face instantly frowned as I saw the fish floating lifelessly.

I looked back at him and noticed him staring, he seemed to be teary eyed but it might not be that, "They're just fish, it's not like they even remembered your name." Not the time Jungkook.

Taehyung immediately looked away, I noticed some tear drops falling but he quickly wiped them, "Didn't think you'd be a fish owner." I go to sit on the bed, my body sinking into the mattress as Taehyung distracted himself by getting his clothes and starting to pack it into the suitcase.

"What is Jimin doing?" He asked, putting a hoodie and two pairs of sweatpants into the suitcase, "don't know." I say simply, laying back and putting my feet onto the now stuffed full of clothes suitcase, he got his backpack and put some clothes along with some jewelry in it.

He stayed silent as he was packing, then Jimin came in, "Are you almost done?" He asked while walking straight past me and to Taehyung to back hug him, Taehyung nodded while closing the zipper of his backpack.

I scoffed and looked away mumbling, "Asshole..." Which was ignored, "let's go." Taehyung said nearly at a whisper, I got up and stomped out of the bedroom, waiting for them by the door with my arms crossed and sulking.
