The members of BTS stood frozen, their eyes fixed on the empty space where Jungkook once stood.
Taehyung's voice shattered the silence, his whisper a desperate plea. "I'm sorry... please... please come back, love."
Tears streamed down their faces as...
Jin, however, looked at Jungkook with guilty eyes, his expression soft with regret. Jungkook greeted them back with a quiet "Morning," his voice barely above a whisper.
Without saying another word, Jungkook moved towards the kitchen, his eyes fixed on some point ahead. Minsoo muttered under his breath, just loud enough for everyone to hear, "Tsk, rude."
The room fell silent, everyone's eyes narrowing at Minsoo's comment. But Jungkook didn't react, didn't even flinch. He just kept walking, his shoulders stiff with tension.
As he entered the kitchen, Jungkook's eyes welled up with tears, but he held them back, biting his lip to keep from crying. He opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of banana milk, his hands shaking slightly as he unscrewed the cap.
Jungkook walked back into the living room, his expression neutral. "I'm going to the company to practice for my solo," he announced, his voice flat. "Y/N will be here by 10, please let her know that I'll be back by 11."
Without waiting for a response, Jungkook turned and made his way towards his room, leaving the others in an uncomfortable silence.
Everyone sighed, knowing that Jungkook was still hurt from the accusations. Jin felt like someone had stabbed him in the heart, his guilt and regret eating away at him.
Minsoo, on the other hand, rolled his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "Again with the attention." But he quickly masked his expression, putting on a bright smile.
"Hey guys! I was thinking, if we could watch a series today?" Minsoo suggested, trying to sound cheerful and friendly. But his eyes gleamed with a knowing light, as if he was aware of the tension in the room and was trying to exploit it.
Reluctantly, everyone agreed to watch the series, and Jin got up to ask Jimin to help him make some snacks. Twenty minutes later, they were all laughing out loud at the show, except for Minsoo, who was trying to fake it.
Just as they were getting into the episode, Jungkook appeared at the doorway, dressed in all black, his face covered with a black mask. He surveyed the scene before him, his eyes taking in the sight of his members laughing and having a good time together.

For a moment, Jungkook felt a pang of sadness. It was the first time they were all watching something together... but without him. He shook his head, feeling a little left out.
But then his eyes landed on Taehyung, who was sitting next to Minsoo on the couch. Minsoo was practically leaching onto Taehyung, who didn't seem to be pushing him away. In fact, Taehyung was smiling, his eyes crinkled at the corners.
Jungkook's heart burned with a mixture of anger and hurt. He knew that Taehyung disliked it when someone new got too close to him, but he was... smiling? Jungkook's eyes narrowed behind his mask, his mind racing with questions. What was going on? Why was Taehyung being so friendly with Minsoo?
