Chapter Text
Jungkook was at a loss.
Finding out that the two people who you were in love with were in love with each other really messed with one's brain.
Jungkook should have read the signals more closely.
The looks and the holding hands under the table.
The weird cheek kisses and the cuddling.
God the cuddling….He had been included in that pile but his chest had hurt from everything so he had gotten up ready to leave, but Taehyung had grabbed him and pulled him closer.
It made Jungkook feel like he had belonged in the pile.
With that epiphany he lied back down comfortably, his smile bright before it all came crashing down with one word.
“Jimin” Taehyung called before cuddling closer to Jungkook.
Jungkook’s eyes had flown open and he broken out of the circle and out the door before either Jimin or Tae could stop him.
For about a week he avoided them both, using the excuse of dance practice running late to stop them from asking to many questions. But of course Taehyung had cornered him in the art section of the Performing Arts building.
“What the fuck is your problem? Jimin is freaking out all the time because you won’t answer our texts or calls. He thinks you hate us or worse him. Do you not fucking care? Jimin loves you! Why are you hurting him like this?” Taehyung ranted angrily holding Jungkook in place by his collar, effectively keeping him from running away like he was so keen on doing.
“I-I um I just w-wanted a little time for m-myself.” Jungkook stuttered out, cursing himself because of the stupid stutter.
“Okay fine Jungkook that’s fine but next time tell us. Jimin thought you would never talk to us again.” Taehyung sighed releasing Jungkook.
Nodding in agreement, Jungkook began to gather his stuff as if he was going to leave.
Exasperated Taehyung grabbed Jungkook’s arm dragging him towards the exit.
“Uh no way Ggukkie. We are going to the apartment and you are going to apologize to Jimin and we’ll order from that Chinese place that you like. I know what it’s like to want personal space Kook, I really do, but...God you need to tell us this stuff. So we can know what’s going with you.” Taehyung said as he dragged Jungkook to his car.
Blushing once again Jungkook nodded a silent yes to Taehyung.
Laughing a little before stopping at the side of his car Taehyung turned to Jungkook and said
“I missed you as well. It wasn’t just Jimin who was worried.”

Jungkook is smothered by Jimin that night. He isn’t allowed to leave the apartment till late the next afternoon per Taehyung’s and Jimin’s request that he get reacquainted with them. Jungkook huffs on the outside but he is melting on the inside at the affection.
