He jumped up so quickly it almost gave you  whiplash. The felines ears were pointed at the door as he swiftly stood protectively in front of you, eyebrows furrowed and eyes narrowed. His strong frame of solid mass made your heart flutter as he stood his ground, apprehensive about who is was that was knocking.

Your features softened as you slowly stood up to put a gentle hand on Jungkooks  shoulder. He relaxed slightly by your hold, eyes and ears still not leaving the direction of the front door.

"It's ok Kookie, I invited Hobi over for breakfast." He was now completely relaxed in your grasp, finally being able to look in your direction.

Before long, there was a mumbled  yell coming from the other side of the door. "Hurry up, I'm hungry!"

Giggling you motioned at Jungkook to take a seat to which he complied.

You barely had the chance to greet Hoseok before he ran into you and enveloped you in a bear hug that almost broke your bones.

Watching you two joke around from the table, Jungkook couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy and guilt corse through his veins.

You and Hoseok reminded him of him and his roommate back at the facility. Labeled Vx38, or V, as Jungkook called him, was the boys only friend at the facility other then a few acquaintances here in there.

He was a happy guy. No matter what happened, he always had an optimistic attitude and smiled almost as brightly as Hoseok. He felt guilty even thinking about him.

They were supposed to escape together. They were fine one minute, moving stealthily in and out of the hallways they've memorized so well. Then they were caught. It seemed like a fool proof plan. Apparently not.

It happened in an instant. One of the guards slashed Jungkook In the thigh. Hard. Causing him to come down hard. They were so close. They almost had it. The guard that had slashed Jungkook started to walk towards him, but, vx38 got to him first. Ripping violently through the crowd of people, he jumped on the guard yelling at Jungkook to go before it was to late.

That night he ran until he couldn't anymore, the rain that had just started made him feel worse. He finally found shade by a dumpster and passed out where you found him.

He wanted to tell you about V. He wanted to tell you about everything. But he thought it too soon. Especially with the rising anxiety regarding the Jimin guy. He wanted to know about him, but, he felt that if he did, he would be too angry to continue to work with him.

You and Hoseok sat at the table after conversing for a minute. Looking over at Jungkook, you saw that his eyes were already trained on you. Smiling softly at him, he couldn't help but to do the same.

"Let's eat before it gets cold!" Hoseok yelled digging into his food as you followed soon after.

A few minutes later Jungkook noticed the shift in your energy. Slowly after greeting Hoseok, you started to think about how your encounter with Jimin would go. You hadn't seen him in almost a year. You wanted to trust Hoseok, you really did but, you couldn't help but to be nervous.

Jungkook wanted to say something but he didn't know what. He could sense your drop in energy and wanted to understand your reasoning behind why you were so anxious about meeting this Park guy.

"Y/n." He said before he could stop himself.

All attention was on Jungkook now and he suddenly felt self conscious.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

You gulped down your pancake and playfully glared at Hoseok.

"It's his fault really."
