"What about waiting forever? There's nothing wrong with having a little patience, Jungkook," Taehyung assured and watched the boy let out a hopeless sigh. "If you really want to get to know Jimin, then there's no problem waiting. At the end of the day, you can't be too sure about what's on the other side... maybe he wants to be certain you'll be there for him. Remember, you two just started getting close to each other!" Taehyung went on as Jungkook let out a sigh and thought to himself further.

"I understand that... but I just want to be there for him. These feelings I have... they won't go away! And the more I hope to be there for him, the more curious I become. He doesn't like certain things and he behaves oddly when I try opening up conversations when it comes to who he is. What if he doesn't want to let me in?"

"Ah, Jungkook... you're overthinking it! Calm down. I'm sure he wants to know you too. Things just won't be easy off the bat. He's human too, this isn't some children's book where he will fall in love with you just like that, he needs to know you and understand you! Of course... I suspected this, you've never been closer to anyone like this so, I can't blame you," Taehyung answered and began to pace around the studio.

"You're right, Taehyung... he just...worries me."

"How come?"

"The way he reacts to certain things I do towards him, the way he despises being called an angel, the way he grows distant towards work related topics and how important he truly is to his company..." Jungkook mentioned and let out a scoff. "Did you know Directors are very close to their idols? Who would have thought... someone that has a higher position in the Industry would revolve around the idol so much. You know, I would have guessed the manager would call many times or an assistant, but the Director? Not a chance..."

"What do you mean?"

"The Director called Jimin many times yesterday because Jimin chose to spend the day at my place... I didn't think he would be the one calling, but even the manager didn't call as much! The industry is a weird business," Jungkook said to himself before letting out a chuckle. Unaware of what went on behind closed doors as Taehyung only raised a brow. "I know you have a thing for theories on famous celebrities... Do you know what this is by any chance?"

"Well, it's not a lot I can work with, but what I do know from what you told me, I'm guessing Jimin hates his job and his image. If my boss was to call me all day when I'm off, I would get upset towards that person and my position too!"

"That's the thing... Jimin didn't have a day off. He escaped and came to my place, begging to stay and clinging onto me like I would save him from his job. Not everyone likes their job, but wouldn't living a famous life like his be easy? It should be... but he always tells me he's working all week and never has a break to see me. Does he hate his career because of being overworked?"

"What I've seen is celebrities sometimes being overworked... or But surely no one would try to harm Jimin, right? At the end of the day, I bet that Director was just trying to get a hold of Jimin since he is the one who's behind his career, right?" Taehyung continued to spitball his ideas onto the table as Jungkook only tried to connect them, but they didn't make any sense.

"If the Director was just trying to get his attention and call him, why would he spam his calls all night? Why would Jimin carry such a dull face when I mentioned the Director being a good man before and why would he get so upset at me calling him his angel? That doesn't make sense... Does Jimin hate his boss? Does this all connect with Jimin hating the feeling of me touching his chin or despising a certain position in bed?" Jungkook thought to himself and suddenly thought the worst. "No... I don't think something that bad might have happened to him. He's the world's most loved human being! "

"Jungkook?"

"Y-Yes?" Jungkook snapped out of his confusing thoughts and let out an exhale.

"Don't think about it too much... I'm sure he's fine! Just a little overworked, upset about working and maybe he doesn't like being reminded of it... not everyone loves their own jobs or anything related to it. That could mean why he doesn't like being called an angel and wanted to escape it all with you to take a break from the madness. But, I can't assume everything... I just want to clear up your mind because I know you can get a little frustrated here and there," Taehyung assured. Wanting to use the best of his knowledge to clear Jungkook's thoughts but of course, he couldn't go on any further since Jungkook didn't give him enough to work with.

"What about... his tendency to cling onto me? The many roses he sends to my apartment and the way he wishes to be the only one on my mind?" Jungkook questioned. Recalling the night he was drunk and Jimin came over. "He told me a few things that night I was drunk... some I can't hold onto and make out, but some I remember... and that was mostly when Jimin told me that he didn't want to see me with anybody else..."

"What?"

"I could just be losing my mind and my memory couldn't be that good since I was drunk, but I can remember him saying things like that to me... what do you think about that? Is he obsessed?"

"Wow... I would have never thought Jimin was like this at all," the older man claimed and ran his own hair back carefully before pondering what Jungkook just told him. "Like I said before, maybe he chooses to escape it all with you? I don't know... but the things you tell me about Jimin being the exact opposite of what he's portrayed to the world, seems as if he wants to escape everything with you and have no one else interfere with it! I could be wrong, but I've seen things before when I come up with theories! Despite the ways of him having... fun... with you every now and then, clinging onto you, running off to you, and staying with you, seems as if he wants to escape the way he's seen by everyone. I can't assume, but what I can tell you is that he might look a little obsessed... yet, we don't see the bigger picture to even assume that."

"You're right... Jimin's actions are concerning. I've picked up many things he dropped and followed in his path, but I can't say much just yet if I don't know. I don't want to assume that he's obsessed with me when I don't know how he even sees me! This could all mean something... he offered me a job that will result in me living with him. This could be a step closer to him, it will give me an opportunity to see him for who he really is," Jungkook managed to make some sense in his own mind and Taehyung only smiled and patted his back.

"But just in case, learn to observe, listen, and be patient. Sometimes, things aren't always there, you'll have to find them for yourself. He will open up to you eventually, depending on what it is, don't force him. "

"You're right. Thank you, Taehyung..." Jungkook said and smiled to himself before looking up at the older man. "You know, I'm glad we're friends! I can talk to you and joke around with you so freely... It's amazing. It makes me feel better to vent to someone I trust on my thoughts and worries about Jimin... I could never get this close to Yoongi. It's possible, but I think I will need to have several conversations with him before I can become a closer friend to him."

"You know, I don't really remember what happened between Yoongi and you that night we went out drinking. Are you two friends now?"

"Well, it's there... I don't have feelings for him anymore and I've accepted the rejection. Besides... WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME HE WAS WITH HOSEOK THIS WHOLE TIME?!" Jungkook shouted and began to laugh into his hands. Covering his red face at the memories of Yoongi showing the promise ring to him that night. "They wear matching promise rings. Ah, why couldn't I catch onto the idea that he was aware of my feelings for him...? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Oh... I didn't really know that either..." Taehyung whispered and nervously scratched his neck. "For someone who knows a lot about theories...I can't really read the room that well, but I can assure you I didn't know a thing! If I did, I would have warned you, I promise! You know you're my best friend, I wouldn't do that to you! We're... we're endgame..."

"Endga- you know what? I'm out of here, we have a whole day filled with appointments!" Jungkook laughed. Walking out of the studio space as Taehyung tagged along.

Concurrently, Jimin laid his head against the windows of the car. Not sure what to think about now. He was silent about what happened earlier, but also glad to know Jungkook was going to work with him. His medications helped him avoid negative thoughts peering into his mind, but he knew it wasn't strong enough to save him from what the Director caused. Jimin continued to press his head against the window and close his eyes, all while Namjoon sat a seat away from him. Watching him and having a worried stare over his face.

Jimin didn't utter a word to him the moment he left the office and now they were silent in the backseats of the car. They kept the automatic window separating them from the driver, closed at all times so their conversations would always be kept private. However, Namjoon always thought it was pointless since Jimin would never talk to him privately about anything.

"Jimin..." Namjoon asked. Breaking through the thick atmosphere filled with silence in the air as he reached over to the younger man, but hesitated to drop his hand over his shoulder. "Are you... how was the- are you.. okay?"

Jimin opened his eyes, looking out the heavily tinted window and gazing out to the dark world with his own puffy eyes. "I'm fine..."

"Oh... so, I wanted to ask, will you work with Jungkook soon?" the manager questioned. Not wanting to bother Jimin about what happened within the meeting before.

"Yes, I can't wait to see him. Only then I wouldn't have to take my medications..."

"Um... Jimin, that's not a good idea... Jungkook can't treat your-"

"You don't know what you're talking about... you won't understand," Jimin spoke under his breath and continued to see the many buildings pass them by. "What he means to me... is something no one could understand."

"Ah, Jimin... please don't depend on him to cure you," Namjoon thought. Not sure of what Jimin could say if he chose to say that to him at that very moment.

Namjoon became anxious about what Jimin was setting himself up for. So he sat there and watched the miserable soul try his best to avoid the thoughts of what happened in the morning. Only after Jimin's medication wears off, will it strike him at night and result in him crying himself to sleep. This was the endless cycle the model lived in and hoped to run further away from it with the thought of Jungkook. Not even daring to talk about it to anyone at all in order to cope with it in the best way possible.
