—————————————————-
Jungkook had committed to practice dillegently for the week following that incomplete exam .
The boys didn't ask too hard , Jin secretly threw away the congratulations cupcakes trying to swallow the thought that it was really just a half baked attempt to manifest .So they threw away their plans their cupcakes their comeback date and threw themselves into rehearsal for their third time delayed undated album .
Management organised a meeting - they had a backup plan to do a surprise album with no teaser no warning just a drop of the bomb.
The boys went quiet at the suggestion
" no marketing ?"
" yeah like Beyoncé "
" we're not Beyoncé "
The manager grimaced his eyes smiling in strained sympathy as if to say that's our only optionAnd jungkook shrunk feeling the stares of the boys around
" Jungkook is there any chance you passed ?"
Finally someone askedThe boy stared blankly " I - I'm not sure ,"he quietly spoke . He hated this , with every fibre of his being . Jungkook was built on that effortless perfection on being the best on never failing and here he had to expose his biggest failure , his own humiliating stupidity . This huge fucking lie of golden maknae was splitting at the seams .
For two weeks it went like that awaiting the exam result that would come out in two weeks more . The stupid call times the inevitable delays the useless practices the ridiculous advertisements- and that silent elephant in the room
How much longer can we wait for him to pass this test .
He hadn't felt a second of peace since this stupid law , every moment his heart felt weak - like it was being stepped on as he stumbled around his members shyly . He tried to compensate he tried to dance harder and sing better and do the last scene for each filming and clean the plates . He did everything they said everything they wanted - but he knew it wasn't enough . Who cares how good he was , he was the reason a staff of 100 people had to delay three times now .Three strikes and your out jungkook scrunched his eyes each night that thought taunting him as he tried as hard as he could to sleep
" hes embarrassed " jhope whispered to jimin one evening as jungkook feigned sleep " he needs time to get over it -"
" I don't want to do a comeback without him hyung -"
" we don't know maybe he did pass -" yoongi had added
And then there was silence . The conversation died and jungkook softly breathed in the imitation of sleep he hadn't peacefully gotten in 14 nights feeling the stares of 12 eyes on him

It was the fifteenth day
Jungkook stared at his cereal silently his hair a mess his face pale and expressionless his puffy eyes seemed blank as the early morning sun dashed across his eyes that were still bloodshot red
Last night wasn't a good night .
Most nights weren't - most of them were filled with an increasingly heavy numb emptiness that filled his mind .
but last night was the first really bad night - where he couldn't just forget , where it wasn't numb emptiness he felt . It was real . sharp .tight . pain .
It started at the dinner table as Namjoon scribbled groceries on a note pad trying to remember the list before in typical namjoon style he broke the lead .
A radiating pain behind jungkooks eye balls sparked at that moment - and for some reason he felt like the clock was louder than usual... like a metronome - and his hoodie felt too small like a blazer and the chair was too hard and was namjoon wearing womens perfume and
Is that permission
The boy stood up suddenly .
" Jungkook ?"
Namjoon noted the slight sheen of sweat on the boy who's eyes seemed like they were somewhere else
"- uh ..huh?"
" why did you just stand up ?"
" I .. I uh , can i ...I'm going to " the youngers face screwed up
" to ?"
"... practice " jungkooks hand subtly spread over his stomach under his hoodie , he felt a nauseating acidic rolling feeling " can I go practice -"
"Jungkook .. you don't need my permission to go practice ,"
Jungkook stared at namjoons face a second too long at that ,
- is that permission ... he shook his head but it only made the migraine worse
" yeah okay - Im going then . To go practice "
