there’s no reason for namjoon to have any guests.

it’s 2:46 AM on a sunday night and for one–there’s not a single soul in seoul he knows that would come visit him at this hour. namjoon’s apartment is in one of the shittiest neighbourhoods of seoul, and walking around at this hour is asking to get mobbed. yet there’s only one person he knows who would even think of showing up at this time.

y/n l/n.

but it’s impossible…and way too many months have passed since you’d both seen each other. he’d moved to seoul whilst you’d stayed in ilsan after your fallout—an irrational trip to the waterfalls. namjoon had always wanted to go and once upon a time, you’d have gone anywhere with him.

three nights in after one too many fights, you disappeared the morning after.

namjoon acted like he didn’t care and blocked your number. went back home and started packing. he tried to contact you a week later—no response. namjoon didn’t try again.

yet he opens the door and there you are.

concern quickly takes over the surprise on his face as he analyses your features. your lip’s busted, eye heavily bruised with dark circles painted underneath. he watches you wince as you crack an empty smile.

time seems to freeze over as he pulls you in and lets you sink into his arms.

“you’re an idiot. i hope you know that.” namjoon murmurs.

“yeah. sorry.”

he pulls away and frowns, eyes slightly red but you don’t comment on it. instead you grin at him.

“no welcome back?”

“shut up, y/n.”

He was just at the part where the girl is picked when the sound of footsteps came from down the hall, a small boy in cute pajamas and bedhead stumbling into the brightness and whining at it. “Uhm, good morning.” Jungkook said softly, clearly startling the smaller if the way he jumped was any indication.

The boy looked at Jungkook for a second before going to get some water and curl up on a chair, Jungkook recognizing it as the one the boy was sitting on the first time he came into the ward. Putting the pieces together, he made a guess as to which boy it was.

“Are you...Jimin by any chance.” Jungkook asked, watching the boy glance at him slight shock before nodding slowly. “I thought so. Jin told me about you and another boy named Taehyung so I took a guess.”

Jimin stared at Jungkook, not saying a word but it was clear the boy was listening, taking in the words with a blank look in his eyes. “W-Would you like to come and sit down over here?” Jungkook asked softly. “I might n-not be good at talking with you, b-but at least you won't be by yourself."

Jimin contemplated the offer and got up, grabbing a stuffed bear while we was walking. He took a seat on the couch across from Jungkook and brought his knees to his chest, closing his eyes after in content.

The boys stood like that in a comfortable silence for a while. “T-Thank you.”  Jimin whispered, eyes downcast as he played with the bear paws. “The boys in here are all nice but i don't like talking with them because they can be loud. And I never feel like myself really.”

Jungkook closed the book and nodded, reaching over to get some water for himself. “What's it like if you don't mind me asking. You know, what you are in here for.”

Jimin sighed softly and shook his head. “You don't have to talk like it's some covert mission. Depersonalization disorder is kind of like always being in a dream. I never feel grounded in my body, it's like i'm an outsider to put it simply.” He explained, the bears paws basically torn apart from where he was picking at the threads.

"You know, Jin said you don't talk very much. Why are you talking with me?"  Jungkook asked in a bit of confusion.  Jin had said that Jimin was quiet but here was the boy talking to him like a friend. Jungkook soon watched Jimin's face scrunch up in slight annoyance. "See, Jin is a blabbermouth so i don't tell him personal stuff . The only person I really talk with in here is Taehyung but he's the real quiet one between him and myself . He has to deal with all those different personalities and it isn't easy for him. He's usually closed off in the regular personality so we prefer to have silent talks between conversations." Jimin said, looking towards the hallway . "I could ask you the same question you know . You clearly have a problem with other people but here you are talking with me . I guess you just make me comfortable . So, feel like telling me your story?"

"I wouldn't say it's a people problem . It's more like ... intense fear of embarrassing myself in front of others so I stay away from them . Try to avoid talking with them or being touched by them. hell before I came here I was pretty much living in my room 24/7. the only sunlight I got was through my window . The doctor diagnosed me with avoidant personality disorder and depression . I don't really talk like this at all actually . You just have a really calming personality and it makes me comfortable ." Jungkook said, blushing a soft pink and looking down, not seeing Jimin doing the same thing until he heard the smallest and softest giggle which eventually turned into full on laughter between the two boys .

"Well there's something I haven't heard in a very long time," said a deep voice, Jimin and Jungkook collecting themselves and looking to the doorway. Jimin shot a wide smile and ran over to give the taller boy a big hug . "Taehyung, you're talking !" Jimin cheered, melting into the other boy who let his nose gently bury itself in Jimin's hair.

“It’s a good day. I think the new mood stabilizer they put me on is really going to help. Oh, and who are you?” Taehyung asked, giving a small smile as both him and Jimin walked over to sit down. Jimin must have sensed Jungkook’s hesitance, for the boy started speaking in his place.

“This is Jungkook and he’s the new baby here.” Jimin said, making Jungkook blush more. “He invited me to sit with him and we were talking together. He’s really shy though.” Jimin added in a whisper as Taehyung held out his hand, smiling as Jungkook shook it.

“I’m Taehyung, nice to meet you Jungkook.” He said, Jungkook nodding and introducing himself after a minute. “So, I have a question! Do you like overwatch?” Taehyung asked, eyes lighting up when Jungkook nodded quickly. It was the one game Jungkook had heard of and played on the computers in school.
