Hello, everyone who reads this~♡ I fully intended to update on Christmas day!😀 That was until some asshat decided they were going to blow up the AT&T building in downtown Nashville and put half of Eastern Tennessee without any cellular service. My cell phone literally became the most expensive calculator, clock, and paperweight known to man. It was useless other than to tell me the time.😂🤣 I still don't have any internet connection, but at least my 4G LTE is working now.😂🤣 Christmas day and most of all of today, I was without any service until recently. My baby sister's puppy even passed away and I could do nothing to comfort her because we didn't even know until today.😔🥺 Although, I am safe and fully intend to keep this updated regularly somehow, someway.🤣😂 I do hope all of you had good Christmas's though or good days if you don't celebrate Christmas~♡ This chapter doesn't have anything too triggering, but please stay advised when reading~♡ I love you all and I hope that you are happy, healthy, and safe~♡♡♡ Without further ado or anymore explanation, please enjoy this next installment~♡

Taehyung's eyes fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes, gradually moving into a sitting position next to Jungkook. He rubbed his bleary eyes and glanced over at Jungkook to see him trying to eat with one arm. Taehyung let out a soft, groggy giggle as he moved so that Jungkook could have access to his other hand. Jungkook glanced at Taehyung, pushing his tray away from him with an embarrassed smile. "I see my sleeping beauty is finally awake," Jungkook noted, brushing Taehyung's hair out of his eyes. "Is this how you stay so attractive? All that extra sleep?" Jungkook asked jokingly as Taehyung smiled.
Jungkook gently cupped his hands around Taehyung's face, ready to lean in and kiss him when a soft knock on the door interrupted any train of that thought. Taehyung looked at the door before looking back at Jungkook and climbing out of the bed to open the door. When Taehyung opened the door, Seokjin, Jimin, Hoseok, and Yoongi were standing in the doorway with large smiles and teary eyes.
Taehyung tilted his head in confusion before Seokjin shoved the folder into Taehyung's hands and his eyes widened in realization. "Y- You've graduated...?" Taehyung asked, trailing off as he lifted his head to stare into Seokjin's teary eyes. Taehyung wrapped his arms tightly around Seokjin as Jungkook stared at them from the bed. "Y- Your leaving...?" Jungkook asked softly as Seokjin nodded into Taehyung's hug.
Jungkook bit his lip slightly as he looked down at his hands. "Y- You can't leave though... H- How am I supposed to impress Taehyung's parents without your help?" Jungkook asked softly, earning a surprised stare from Seokjin, Jimin, Hoseok, and Yoongi. They hadn't known him to be a very open person as Taehyung sniffled softly and squeezed Seokjin tighter in his hug. Seokjin gently patted Taehyung's back, trying to calm the younger male as he smiled softly. "Tae. Jungkook, I promise I'll visit as often as I can," Seokjin reassured firmly, trying to stifle a sniffle himself. He didn't realize how much they depended on him as Taehyung continued to cling to him tightly. "I'm still going to miss you," Taehyung added and they all heard his voice crack, Seokjin wrapping his arms tightly around Taehyung as well. They both rocked back and forth in their hug, Taehyung's shoulders shaking as he buried his face in Seokjin's shoulder. Seokjin brushed his hand into the back of Taehyung's hair, holding onto the smaller male tightly as if Taehyung were his child.
"Please, Tae. This should be a celebrated occasion," Jimin whispered softly, gently patting Taehyung's tense arms wrapped tightly around Seokjin. "We were wanting to plan a going away party for his celebration and would love for you to be a part of it," Jimin added as Taehyung sobbed softly in response, his face still buried in Seokjin's broad shoulder. After several moments of remaining wrapped in Seokjin's arms and crying, Taehyung finally pulled away and wiped his eyes with a determined nod. He wanted to celebrate Jin's graduation just as much as the others did, but he didn't know how he was going to survive in this place without those loving and motherly sensations that Seokjin was so great at providing.
Yoongi offered a soft smile as he ruffled Taehyung's hair, trying to cheer the other up. They could all see that Taehyung was trying to remain brave for Seokjin, but that he was still very upset by the fact that Seokjin was leaving him behind. Seokjin smiled as he gently patted Taehyung's back, guiding them all back over towards Jungkook as his smile widened. "So I also have news for you guys," Seokjin declared, ready to get his secret relationship out in the open once and for all.
They all looked up at him as Hoseok tilted his head. "You mentioned this when we first saw you, so out with it already, Jin! Yoongi and I have been dying to know," Hoseok exclaimed, excited to hear the news as Seokjin took a deep breath. "Well, since I'll no longer be a student anymore, I'm allowed to tell you who my boyfriend is now! You all know or remember the literature professor here, right? Kim Namjoon?" Seokjin asked as Jungkook's eyes widened in realization. That was the class that Jungkook shared with Taehyung and the class where Taehyung had teased the shit out of him as a punishment.
Taehyung, Hoseok, and Yoongi all nodded as Seokjin continued. "Well, he's my boyfriend! I'd been warned not to tell you guys just in case, but since I am no longer an attending student and I'm of 18 years of age, it doesn't matter who I tell anymore," Seokjin stated as Taehyung's and Jimin's eyes widened. "So that was the secret boyfriend you were telling me about?" Jimin asked, finally piping up, shocked that Seokjin had been pining after a teacher for so long.
"We were friends long before he started teaching and I fell for him at first sight. No matter how hard he fought it, my feelings finally got through to him and I couldn't be happier," Seokjin added, flushing bright red and cupping his own hands around his heated face. "So it's not like I actually fell for a teacher," Seokjin quipped, staring back at their wide and surprised eyes. "So stop staring at me like that," Seokjin expressed, flustered as Taehyung shook his head and smiled.
"I just want whatever is best for you and will make you happy," Taehyung commented as Seokjin smiled back at him, wrapping his arms around Taehyung once more. "He does make me happy. In fact, for a graduation gift... He asked me to move in with him," Seokjin added, rubbing his cheek against Taehyung's own in blissful happiness. This display of affection and knowing that everyone else around him had a significant other, Jimin suddenly felt very lonely. He wanted someone to love and someone to love him, but would he really have time for that? Jimin shook his head of that thought and gave Yoongi and Hoseok a wary glance before pulling them over towards the corner at Taehyung's words. He knew Taehyung wanted what was best for everyone and wanted all of his friends to be happy, including him.
Yoongi glanced at Hoseok and Hoseok glanced back at Yoongi before they both directed their attention towards Jimin. "I- If the offer still stands... I'll be a part of your relationship as well," Jimin whispered, his cheeks flushed as Yoongi's eyes lit up. Both Hoseok and Yoongi wrapped Jimin up in a hug with smiles. "Of course the offer still stands," Yoongi affirmed excitedly, earning Jungkook's attention. He watched as the three of them chatted excitedly amongst each other before returning to the group.
"So when is this supposed celebration?" Jungkook asked, smiling tenderly towards Seokjin and Taehyung. "We can't let him leave here without one final party," Jungkook insisted happily, pushing the blankets aside to try and stand from the bed. Everyone rushed him and coerced him to stay in bed to recover sooner so that Taehyung could have him for his family's soiree. Taehyung flushed at their words, hiding his face in Jungkook's shoulder as Jimin laughed. "That reminds me! Are you still going to be attending their soiree, Jin? I know your parents are there every year to report on it, but you don't always go," Jimin stated, tapping his chin in thought.
Seokjin smiled as Taehyung lifted his head from Jungkook's shoulder to glance back at Seokjin. "I plan on going this year. Just to see Taehyung and Jungkook together," Seokjin announced as Taehyung buried his heated face once more in Jungkook's shoulder. Both Jungkook and Seokjin laughed heartily as Jungkook patted Taehyung on the back tenderly, trying to coax Taehyung out of being embarrassed. Seokjin sat on the edge of the bed, tugging on Taehyung's hand to try and coax him out of hiding his expression. He wanted to see how adorable Taehyung looked when he was flustered about his new boyfriend.
Hoseok walked over towards the door, just about to shut it when an unfamiliar female walked through the threshold. Hoseok froze as she walked straight past him without so much as a glance and stopped in front of the group huddling around Jungkook's bed. "You," she insinuated maliciously, pointing towards Taehyung and ready to march up to him until Seokjin stood up. He wouldn't have hit her, but she didn't know that as she stopped in her tracks hastily and glared daggers at Taehyung's back.
Taehyung lifted his head from Jungkook's shoulder, recognizing her voice as he turned to see her glowering eyes bore holes into him. "You were the one that put Jungkook in this hospital bed yet again," she shouted as Jungkook glared back at her. "Can you stop shouting at him, for fuck's sake? He didn't do anything wrong! In fact, he tried to help to the best of his abilities," Jungkook shouted back at her, defending Taehyung. Taehyung glanced at Jungkook before glancing back at the girl standing in the middle of the room with all eyes on her.
Her eyes narrowed more on Taehyung as she stomped her foot and turned her softened gaze towards Jungkook. "I wouldn't be shouting at him if he wasn't such a fuck up. He doesn't deserve you, Kookie," she declared, trying to plead her case to Jungkook once more. Jimin spoke up this time, his temper rising with each word that left her mouth. "You don't get to talk about him like that," Jimin defended, his voice surging as her gaze focused on him now. "You don't know what he's been through and what he's had to put up with throughout his life," Jimin continued, shifting closer towards her until Yoongi caught his arm and pulled him back slightly.
"I don't care what he's been through," the girl blatantly disregarded Jimin's words. "He needs to quit dragging Jungkook through his shit then," she shouted once again, placing her hands on her hips. Taehyung lowered his gaze to the floor, realizing that she was right as he opened his mouth to speak. Although, Jungkook placed a gentle hand over Taehyung's mouth and touched his index finger to his own lips to signify Taehyung remaining quiet. Before anyone could stop him, Jungkook shoved the blankets off of himself and hastily stood to unsteady feet. "You have one last opportunity to leave, Jisoo. I'm serious," Jungkook warned, wobbling unsteadily as Jimin quickly threw his arms around Jungkook to keep him from falling.
Jungkook gently pushed Jimin away from him as he hastily gripped Jisoo's arm and directed her towards the door. "You want to talk, let's talk outside then," Jungkook stated softly, gesturing for her to lead the way towards the door. "But you're going to quit blaming Taehyung for every damn thing," Jungkook warned as they stepped outside the door. Taehyung watched as Jungkook held his lower abdomen in pain before closing the door behind them so that they could talk in private.
"What is it that you want to talk about so fucking bad?" Jungkook asked annoyed, his hands clutching at his stitches in pain. Jisoo turned toward him with a sympathetic gaze as she tried to place her hands around his own, only to have her hands knocked away. "I was just trying to help," she whispered hurt, folding her hands in front of her stomach.
"You don't have to touch me to tell me what you want to talk about," Jungkook declared mercilessly, waiting for her to start talking. "If you don't start talking soon, I'm going back inside and you can go fuck off," Jungkook added in his annoyance, leaning against the wall for support. Jisoo's eyes seemed to water at his words, even though this wasn't the worst thing he'd told her before. "I wanted to talk about us, Kookie... You never gave me a heads up or anything about us breaking up," she whispered softly, rubbing her arm nervously.
Jungkook rolled his eyes at her words as he stood up straight to use air quotations in emphasis. "We were never together," he emphasized, using the air quotations in annoyance. "We were only fuck buddies and I don't have to give you a heads up for that," Jungkook affirmed for her to understand. "Now, get that through your thick head," Jungkook added as Jisoo glared up at him. "Fuck buddy or couple doesn't matter to me, you should have said something," she shouted with anger and hurt, stomping her feet again. "I'm not going to be shamed for catching feelings when it's so obvious you caught feelings for that fucker," she shouted with even more hurt and anger, her eyes misting over even more. "Besides! He's not the one pregnant with your bastard child, you ass!"
