"Jimin-ah, you did amazing today! I'm proud of you and I wanted you to know." said an enthusiastic Hoseok.

"Thanks, hyung." said Jimin as he gave his famous smile while bowing his head as gratitude and thanks.

Hoseok patted Jimin's back and said, "Are you going to stay longer this time? I heard that, y'know, will stay too. You're already doing great, don't need to over-do-it." whispered Hoseok as he felt Jungkook gaze upon both of them.

Jimin looked towards Jungkook, just to be met with dark eyes staring at him.

"Uh, yes. I will stay because I don't want to let the group down. Me and him are on good terms too." said Jimin as Hoseok nodded and left to follow the others.

-----------------------------------

"Tired so fast, huh? I expected better from the person who got complimented by Hoseok-hyung." said Jungkook, smirking at Jimin who's looking up at him vulnerably.

"I've been practicing a lot. Of course, I'm going to be tired." as Jimin continued to drink his water.

"Then go rest, Jimin. You already know the choreography. Why are you adding more pressure to yourself? Who are you even trying to impress? Do you need attention so bad? Answer me, Jimin!" angrily spat Jungkook.

Jimin rose up from his chair and looked down. His fists are clutched very hard.

"Jeon Jungkook! How dare you disrespect me!? Can't I hear respect from you? Remember little Jungkook who would be rude to me but never would he use the wrong tone to me! You are just more arrogant!! You do not know how it's like to be hated, ignored, pushed by the one you love. I can't be craving attention when the one I want is disregarding me!" yelled Jimin.

"Oh, whatever. You are just being a baby. You are selfish. Not once do you even care about me anymore. I only state you as how you act towards me. You just want attention from anyone so why should I or the girl you like should give you any?" yelled back Jungkook.

"You are so arrogant! Not once do you think about how you address me! I only act this way to you because you never liked me clingy. You have said it before so I'm giving you space." This time, Jimin said a bit more calmly.

"You don't care about me anymore. Why should I care about you? I'll talk to you however!" rambled Jungkook without noticing Jimin packed his bags.

"Fine, don't come back to 'Jimin' me anymore." as Jimin stormed off, letting all tears loose.

'It's raining. I can cry without people caring."

-----------------------------------

'Stupid Jimin. I do respect him. Why can't he see that I treat him like this because I-I..? I have no right reason to. Hyung is right. I just want to call him Jimin but addressing him in such tone..' Jungkook starts to think before he realizes something.

'Where am I?' He thinks through his flooded thoughts. 'This isn't the way to the dorms.'

Jungkook continues to cry out more.

"Jimin!?" He tried to yell out but instead croaked out.

Jungkook pulls out his phone to call him but Jimin doesn't the first two times. He answered on the third.

"I t-told you not to call me!" said Jimin, about to hang up.

"H-hyung, where are you? I-I'm lost." sobbed out Jungkook.

"Jungkook, s-stay right there! H-hyung will come and get you." shivered Jimin.

"A-aren't you cold, Jungkook? T-tell me where you are!" yelled out Jimin.

"I-I don't k-know." croaked out Jungkook.

"You don't!? Go see for street signs then." hearing Jimin running, Jungkook moved to stop sign.

"I-I'm at a s-stop sign." said Jungkook. There he sees a taxi. He gets an idea.

He stops the taxi and gets in.

"Hyung!" he called out in the phone.

"D-don't worry. I'm c-coming." said Jimin. Jungkook felt bad as his hyung was worrying for him even after they fought.

"Tell me your location. I'm in a taxi."

The driver understood what was going on and waited patiently at the side of the road.

The phone was on speaker now, giving the driver the location.

-----------------------------------

Jungkook gave him some cash. He told the driver if he could stay for a few minutes and take him and his friend back come. The driver nodded and went on his phone to pass time.

Jungkook got out of the taxi and saw Jimin a few feet away from his taxi.

They immediately ran and hugged each other.

"I'm s-sorry, hyung. I do respect you. I just get carried away with teasing." and the sensitive boy started to cry in his elder's shoulder. This made Jimin cry too.

"It's o-okay. I'm a-always here for you, Koo." sobbed Jimin. "I d-didn't mean to lash out at you and ignore you. This wouldn't have h-happened if I just took care of you." Jungkook cries at his hyung's words.

"L-let's go to the taxi. I don't want to keep him waiting." said Jungkook. He hesitantly pulled away but held Jimin's hand to the car.

The driver got off his phone as they came instead.

"To _____________, please." said Jimin. The driver nodded.

They held hands the entire car ride.

-----------------------------------

Jimin said thanks to the driver and paid him while Jungkook still held onto his hand.

In silence, they went into their dorm and saw Namjoon calling someone, Jin hearing in, Suga sleeping, and Tae and Hoseok playing games.

"Where were you guys!?" said Jin. He ran up to them and was about to hit them but saw their interlocked hands.

"What happened?" ran up Namjoon.

"W-we got lost." said Jungkook, letting go of Jimin's hand since all his hyungs were looking directly at it.

"Really!? You guys know the way here. Couldn't you get a taxi?" yelled Jin, pissed off. He knows something is off.

"It was the rain. We couldn't see anything." This time, Jin believed Jimin. Jimin wouldn't lie when it comes to Jungkook.

"Fine, go wash up. You guys are going to catch a cold!" scolded Jin.

"You go first, Jungkook." pointed out Namjoon. "I need to talk to Jimin."

"Okay, hyung."

They saw Jungkook leave to his room and waited until he left for the bathroom.

"Jimin. Are you and Jungkook good? Fans have noticed you avoid him or not be as clingy to Jungkook. Did whatever happened fix it?" asked Namjoom as everyone in the room stared at Jimin.

"Um, yes. We've always been close. Me and him are just busy doing other stuff but we are fine." said Jimin, shivering by the glares by some and the coldness from the rain.

"Okay, you should warm up and wait for Jungkook to come out of the bathroom." said Namjoon as he went to sit on the couch.

"Come here. Let hyung make you something to warm you up." said Jin as he grabbed Jimin's wrist, leading him to the kitchen. "Sit by the stove so the fire could warm you up. Soup?"

"Soup sounds good. Thanks, hyung." shivered Jimin but soon started to warm up.

"I'll get your clothes ready. TAEHYUNG!! COME CUT THE VEGETABLES!!" yelled out Jin. "Okay, I'm here." said Taehyung.

"Oh, Jimin. Jungkook came out of the bathroom. You can go now." said Taehyung.

Jimin nodded and went to his room where Jin gave his clothes.

-----------------------------------

As the warm water trickled down his cold body, he thought about the day.

'Me and Jungkook are close now. We made up! I can give the attention he misses. I can be myself again. Just need to stay in my limits.' thought Jimin.

'Don't want to go overboard with my annoyance. We could be friends but it will make it harder for my feelings. Surpassing them was hard but now, I feel them again.'
