Chapter Text
Kim Taehyung doesn't care the only thing he feels about this situation is annoyance at Seokjin being out of his influence.
"Tae can you stop sulking please." he hears beside him as he comes back around to the space he is in.
"I let you crash here because you were desperate, I'm still pissed at you for ignoring me."
"Jimin i really don't have time for a lecture, can we just hug or something?" and Jimin wants to say no, wants to send him packing but this is the longest he has had him in his apartment and he wants to relish in the moment.
Jungkook is pacing nervously outside Seokjins room, he can come back home today if the doctor says so but that isn't why he is nervous, Namjoon has convinced Seokjin to see him like he had promised but that didn't mean it would go well.
He hadn't expected Seokjin to react the way he did, but once he knew why what had happened well happened he could understand the reaction, finally Namjoon pokes his head out the door and motions for Jungkook to enter, with bated breath he waits for the anger and loud voice but it doesn't come, instead he is met with a soft calm and a tiny voice from across the room.
"I-i didn't mean it Kook" Jungkook finally breathes out sharply when his eyes meet Seokjins the dark orbs shimmering as tears begin to glaze over them.
"Hey Jin no don't cry" he replies making his way towards the small looking man and wrapping him in a hug. Finally Seokjin breaks and once he does he finds it incredibly hard to stop his sobs as he clings himself against Jungkook breathing in his scent.
"Please don't leave me" he whimpers out as Jungkook plays with his hair lightly.
"Jin i couldn't leave you, and i can see myself never wanting to" he mutters softly in his ear smile creeping onto Seokjins face, a cough from across the room suddenly reminds Jungkook of the other issue they need to address.
Jungkook pulls himself back slightly to look at Seokjin.
"Jin i-we need to talk to you" Namjoon starts moving himself to sit on the other side of the bed.
"about?" They watch Seokjin put his guard up immediately, knees once again at home under his chin.
"Well you know i love you" Namjoon questions
"Yeah and i love you" Namjoons heart flutters slightly at the admission.
"And you know i love you" Jungkook adds quickly.
"and i love you too Kook" Seokjin finally admits to himself aswell that he has indeed loved Jungkook for a long time.
"Well we-" Namjoon cuts himself off and looks at Jungkook smiling.
"Me and Kook like each other too." Seokjins mouth forms a little 'o' as he continues to listen.
"We kinda met a while back like kook said"
"it started off as just something we were both missing" Jungkook nodded
"It started as just a way to feel something." he watches Seokjin closely his reaction very hard to read.
"And well we realised that we both love you, and we both really like each other."
"So we were wondering about the possibility of us all being together." Jungkook finishes feeling Seokjin shift in his place slightly.
Seokjin feels incredibly strange his head is screaming at him to not fall for it, not to feel anything he is currently feeling, his mind is scared of what they could allude to but his heart is starting to beat faster, his skin is starting to flush and he just wants them both to hold him and never let go.
"I know we have a ways to go before we can truly start to heal" Namjoon continues noticing Seokjins ears start to redden.
"Joon i don't think he's thinking about that right now" Jungkook tries to explain before Seokjin is flinging himself into Jungkook and grabbing Namjoon to hug him from the side.
"Please just hold me" he chokes out voice starting to betray his feelings.
"So i guess that's a yes?" Namjoon asks watching as Seokjin nods burying his head into Jungkooks neck.
"I love you both so much, please don't let me go" Seokjin pleads because he is afraid that this is a dream, he is afraid he will wake up here alone Jungkook still gone and angry, Namjoon running away again before he can answer so he holds them tighter until he thinks his fingers will break.
"We won't leave you Jin"
Seokjin has made it clear since coming home that sex or any kind of physical intimacy will be off for a while and it suprises him that they are more than fine with waiting and helping him heal, but them not being with him doesn't mean they can't be with each other and so what if Seokjin watches while they are? He can choose how he heals, he can choose to act and do whatever he likes it is no one elses business how he chooses to live his life from this point onwards, who gets to tell him what to do? Seokjin has finally realised that nobody should decide for him unless he asks.
Surprisingly it isn't Seokjin who is breaking down and struggling to cope, a few months after and Jungkook has taken it upon himself to feel enough for all of them plagued by his own feelings of guilt and ignorance, to the constant arguing of his other partners he still believes Kim Taehyung should die.
"It's always one extreme or another with you Kook" Seokjin is getting angry with the self pity, he has lived with himself enough to know how it can destroy someone.
"Jin he is escalating." Jin laughs
"Yes but that doesn't mean i need to lose you to jail forever Kook" raised voices alerting Namjoon to the situation.
"Kook this again? I told you if anyone is going to kill him it's me" and now Seokjin is really really angry.
"I AM NOT LOSING BOTH OF YOU BECAUSE OF KIM FUCKING TAEHYUNG" he shouts hands curled into fists. Jungkook immediately wraps Seokjin into a hug and motions his head for Namjoon to do the same.
"Okay Jin sorry, we won't go anywhere near him." Jungkook whispers softly.
"Yeah he seems to have got the hint anyway, he hasn't left any strange gifts outside in over a month" Namjoon trails off once he realises Seokjin had tuned out.
"Kook maybe he should go lay down for a while." He lets Jungkook lead Seokjin to the bed slowly and waits for him to return.
"Kook im worried, he hasn't left anything in over a month" Jungkook frowns
"But isn't that a good thing? I mean he's leaving him alone" "Kook i know my brother, he doesn't just give up" Namjoon says worried
"Maybe he moved on to that Park Jimin fella" Jungkook muses as they cuddle together.
"I don't think so Kook, he doesn't take not getting his own way very well." Namjoon kisses Jungkook on the cheek and pulls him closer.
"what should we do?" "We both have to go back to work, we can't just have zero money coming in, but we should give Seokjin a few self defense tips incase he tries anything" Jungkook stretches his body slightly in Namjoons hold.
"Sounds like a good plan, and thank you for putting me on a part time rotation, why did you close fully anyway?" Namjoon shrugs
"This past month and a half hasn't been easy on all of us, I've had my own.. Issues" he reminds
"Oh right sorry i don't know what i was thinking" Jungkook mumbles as his eyes start to sag in the warmth.
"Come on you, lets get you cuddled up to Seokjin whilst i make dinner, then I'll wake you both okay?" Jungkook follows along yawning widely finally reaching the bed he crawls in and instantly Seokjin wraps around him in his sleep making Jungkook content.
