Jungkook's POV

"Maknae ah! Wake up! Yah! I'll spill water on you if you don't wake up right now!" I sat up immediately and rubbed my eyes.

It wasn't Jimin hyung like always but Suga hyung.  I pouted as I looked at Suga hyung who was shaking his head. "Hurry up and bathe!"

<3

There, sitting at the dining table was Jimin hyung. He ate without greeting me. I sat opposite him and started eating. No hi? No smile? Weird.

Rap Mon hyung went on about today's agenda. MBC stage, Showcase.  Got it. I zoned out the rest of the time as I focused on Jimin who was busy

eating. He placed some beef on J-Hope hyung's bowl.  Not mine? Is he really angry?  He didn't even spare me a glance.

Author's POV

Time setting: Backstage

Jungkook watched as Jimin quietly sat in the corner of the room, plugging in his earpiece's and resting his head on the wall, closing his eyes.

Right in front of them, J-Hope was filming Bangtan Bomb with Taehyung. They were beatboxing. Rap Monster joined them and started beatboxing

 faceboxing then Suga joined. Jungkook smiled at the camera but would once in a while glance in the mirror to look at Jimin who wasn't joining

in the fun. Normally, he would be the first to play around. "Our last one, our maknae." Jungkook snapped back to reality as J-Hope pulled him in front

to beatbox. Jungkook did it and everyone laughed. He once again looked at Jimin who was too busy singing to Danger outside.

Time setting: Dark and Wild Showcase

"Go up on stage and greet the fans first like always. The standing arrangement this time is Suga, J-Hope, V, Rap Monster, Jin, Jimin and Jungkook"

"Can I not sit beside Jungkook?" That was the first time Jimin spoke that day and it came out as a soft whisper. Jungkook looked at his hyung in shock.

Their manager looked at him weirdly. "Jimin, this was what the fans kept commenting. Besides you've not been standing beside the maknae for weeks

and all this while, you've been whining about it." Jimin spoke softly. "But I want to stand beside V today." Their  manager looked at him weirdly before

replying with a nod. "Alright then. V and Jungkook switch places." They went onstage and greeted the fans.

J-Hope pulled V forward and they did heart gestures for the fans, making them squeal. Jungkook glanced at Jimin and saw his hyung smiling while waving at the

fans. They performed Let Me Know, Danger and then War of Hormone.

Rap Monster spoke into the mic, panting. "Wah~ How was our performance? *fans cheering*"

Jin spoke next "Armys, did you miss us? *fans screaming yes again* I missed you too! *fans squealing*"  The camera focused on Suga who was

grinning as J-Hope wiped his sweat away. Suga held the mic to his mouth. "Swag! *fan cheers* Did you enjoy our performance?

fans screaming Ne! * I'm glad you enjoyed it." J-Hope gave the towel to Suga as it was his turn to speak. He turned his aegyo mode on. "Army's,

I really miss you! *fan squeals*"  Jimin spoke into his mic. "Armys make some noise! *fans screaming* Kamsahamnida! *makes heart sign with both hands*"

Jungkook waved to the fans. "We've been working very hard for this so do continue to support us! We won't disappoint you!" It was Taehyung's turn to speak but

he wasn't talking. His mic was not functioning. The rappers who were holding a mic were going to lend V theirs but Jimin beat them to it. "There's no sound?

Here" Jimin leaned closer to Taehyung and lent him his mic. Jungkook silently pouted as the fans squealed. Taehyung gave his square smile

"Wah~ Jeongmal... Danger jjang!" The two seperated as the fans cheered.

<3

Time setting: Heading home

They got off the stage with huge smiles. Jimin went back to his non- smiling state while Jungkook sulked. Did he not want to stand beside me just

to be with Taehyung or was it just for fanservice? It better be. Everyone got prepared to go home. Jimin however, had other plans. "Manager-nim, can I go

to the company? I want to practice" Their manager nodded before turning to the group. "Anyone else?" The others groaned and shook their head. Jungkook

raised his hand. "I messed up the choreo" That was his excuse but what he really wanted to do was talk to Jimin.

<3

Their manager dropped them off at the company before driving away. Jimin immediately walked into the building, Jungkook trailing behind him. Once they

reached the practice room, Jimin took off his sweater and threw it into a corner before starting to stretch. Jungkook neatly arranged his sweater before joining

Jimin. Jungkook looked at his hyung who was stretching. "Hyung, why are you behaving this way?" Jimin didn't bother to reply or even look at the demanding

younger. "Hyung, don't ignore me" Jimin snapped his head up and glared at the maknae, his brown eyes filled with boiling anger. "What is it you want

from me?! You told me to stay away and when I do you tell me not to avoid you! I know I'm not perfect like you! I can't rap or sing like you do!

I can't dance like you, I can't be like you! That's what you wanted right?! Me to admit that you're better and more perfect than me!"

Jungkook looked at his hyung with wide eyes. "Hyung, that's not what I meant" Jimin scoffed "Then what? You want me to bow down in front of you and

kiss you foot? Be your maid, your servant? Praise you everyday?" Jungkook's eyes started to swell with tears. "Hyung, that's really not what I meant."

Jimin was still fuming. "I admit, I'm short, fat, ugly but I don't have to be told twice. I don't get as much praises as you do, but at least I don't give up."

Jungkook wiped his tear away. "Hyung, please listen to me" Jimin stood up and grabbed his sweater. He opened the door to leave but before that, he turned to

look at the crying maknae. "You broke me, Jeon Jungkook. You crushed my world. I give up on you"
