"You know well enough that my favourite changes constantly."

Taehyung felt a strong sting in his heart once he heard those words leave the olders lips. Yea, he did know that, he knew it better than anyone else. But that didn't mean that he would just accept it like that. He let his own gaze drop down so he didn't have to look at the older and he stared blankly at the sheets in the spot where the main dancer was lying not too long ago. 

"Wh-What do you mean?" Taehyung asked, shunning away the cold he reality that he was completely aware of.

Hoseok only brought his head up and stared at the ceiling before he let out a sigh. He hated stating this, especially to Taehyung of all people but he knew that if he wasn't straightforward the younger would just reject the truth. 

"It took a mere week to have my mind change once. Do you really think that wont happen again?" J-Hope asked coldly. 

Taehyung could feel his heart break at those words. It had been so long since the older talked to him like this, but it still hurt nonetheless. 

"Then don't let it happen!" V exclaimed, whipping his head in the olders direction to glare at him through teary eyes. The only thing J-Hope could do was let out a sigh and bite his lip. He hated hurting people, especially people he cared about such as Taehyung but he couldn't sugar coat his words or beat around the bush. If he did that, in the end he would just be hurting the younger even more.

"If I do that..." Hoseok started before turning his head to the vocalist.

"Will you be satisfied with the end result?"

Taehyung could read everything in the rappers eyes. He could see every emotion, every thought. It just scared him, seeing how the harsh reality he kept rejecting was staring him right in the eye. Everything that was in Hoseoks eyes cut up any strand of hope that was left in Taehyungs being. 

He couldn't help but let a tear roll down his face the longer he held eye contact with the older. However, when that one tear left his eye J-Hope immediately broke his gaze. He didn't know how much he could bare to see the younger like this before he would be turning on his own words.

Without saying anything else, he made his way out.

"Are you joking right now?" 

The way that Hoseok was smiling at him, the casualty in his tone. It seemed fairly normal. There was nothing really shocking in what the older said, it just seemed that the others offer was somewhat out of the blue. 

"Yea, lets hang out. Just you and I, Jiminie." 

Jimin only jutted his lips out as he thought about the olders offer for a second time. Ever since he was diagnosed with the Hanahaki Disease no one really thought about taking the lead vocalist out because they were too afraid for his health. It also didn't help that Seokjin had literally threatened all the members that he'd slaughter them if they took the younger out and he ended up fainting or something. 

It's not like Jimin didn't want to go out though. He actually hated that he was cooped up in the dorm and he couldn't really do anything if he went out nonetheless. During fanmeets and such they wouldn't even give him the mic and they didn't let him do anything like run around in between schedules either. Despite all that, he still had to go to dance practice, but he wasn't even allowed to dance so he just sat in a corner watching them the whole time. 

Of course Jimin didn't want to be treated like some caged animal, but it's not like he could take the offer of leaving because who knew what Seokjin, Namjoon or their manager would do.

"I... I want to, but I don't think I can..." Jimin explained, the disappointment evident in his voice. 

"Awe, c'mon. I know you hate being stuck in here constantly."

"Yea I do... But Jin hyungs gonna get really mad at us if we just leave out of nowhere." He pointed out. "If you want to go out so badly, just go with Tae or something."

"Jins not even home." Hoseok retorted, disregarding the youngers suggestion. "He wont even know that you left."

"And how do we know that he won't come back?" 

Hoseok only pouted at the younger when he couldn't find anything else to say before he sat beside him in defeat. Jimin chuckled softly seeing the cuteness emit from the other due to his defeat before he ruffled the olders hair. 

The main dancer grabbed the vocalists wrist instantly before whipping his head to the other, a glare evident in his eyes. By the sudden change in demeanors, the younger already had an apology hanging on his lips. But he couldn't even open up his mouth to say his apology as he suddenly felt fingers on both his sides, and before he knew it he was being tickled by the older.

"Ah! No! Stop!" Jimin pleaded through harsh laughs. He wasn't used to being tickled so abruptly by the older, because he would usually only give Taehyung such treatment. Tickling just wasn't their thing, but now that it was happening to him, Jimin started to somewhat understand why they did it so often to each other.

The burst of happiness just being able to laugh with the other. The look of satisfaction and triumph that was planted on the olders face. The small amount of space that was squeezed in between their bodies. Just simply the fact that tickling itself could get the lead vocalist to forget about everything all at once as he could just let himself drown in laughter emitting from himself and the main dancer.

However, he wasn't Taehyung. He wasn't in a stable condition where something as playful and mindless as tickling was permitted. He forgot about that, as well as Hoseok, but a simple reality check reminded him instantly.

He could barely breathe because of all the laughter that escaped his lungs, and it really wasn't long until he couldn't breathe all together. His eyebrows furrowed a bit and the grin that was on his face was starting to fade while his laughter was starting to become replaced with coughing in order to catch his breath.

"Hy-hyung! I can't breathe!" Jimin exclaimed through harsh coughs and laughter. Just by hearing that and seeing the sudden amount of gasps and coughs from the younger, J-Hope immediately moved his hands away from the other. However, even after a few moments had passed, the lead dancer was still wheezing for air.

Hoseok couldn't help but have a panic attack seeing that the younger failed to recover from a small laughing fit. He felt a strong pang of guilt arise within him because he was literally the cause of this. Dashing out of the living room, the rapper made a bee-line to the lead vocalists bedroom. He easily found the youngers inhaler on the desk before he pretty much sprinted back to the others side.

Jimin took the inhaler in his hands instantly before taking in a few puffs. The only thing J-Hope could do was watch, feeling worried to death for the younger. The main dancer didn't say a word, leaving the room completely silent aside from the heavy breaths coming from the other. It took a few minutes for lead vocalist to remove the inhaler from his mouth and let out a sig
