Jungkook looks up, having just taken a bite of juk, and takes a couple of seconds before swallowing. The change in topic is sudden, and his gaze briefly lowers, wondering what triggered the thought. If his cheek looks even worse than Jungkook originally suspected. Subconsciously, Jungkook reaches for his robe, tugging it a little further up his body as he licks his lower lip.

Even with Jin's reassurances, Jungkook can't help feeling like a burden. Like he's pushed both of them somewhere they shouldn't need to go. No friendship should need to dip into situations like these.

"I was late coming home for dinner, and when he pointed it out, I talked back," Jungkook explains, not yet lifting his gaze. "It was stupid of me, hyung. If I'd just apologized, this probably wouldn't have happened. But I was in a bad mood, and I... I made everything worse."
