Jungkook blinks at the body sitting on the bed, legs crossed while plucking on her nails with a cringe on her face.

V.

Taehyung has a female alter.... Named V.

So he should be referring to him as her since that's what she wished for....

Oh the many questions Jungkook has.

His mind is going to explode.

"Oh baby bear now is the perfect time to ask your questions. I don't bite darling," V chirps as she leans back on the bottom bunk of the bed with hands on it to keeping her in place.

Jungkook's mind is tangled in a knotted mess.

So he clears his throat and leans against the wall, "So..... What's exactly your.... Role?"

"I'm the memory/trauma storage," She whistles and tilts her head to the side, "All the trauma shit, bad stuff, blah blah blah I keep it safe in my memory. I basically know.... Everything? Yeah everything. I also have another role but ah.... Let's not dive into it."

Jungkook blinks at her, "So.... Have you always been there or...?"

"So let's educate you a little my cute blueberry," She chirps and sits up straight, "Let's take this room an an example. Imagine this room in your head, but with one wall being a screen to your eyes, that's what's like inside Taehyung's head right now. The inner world, or mind space. At first it was just Taehyung, but after a big bad boom boom to the face when he was a child, Karma took over the bad things as his protector. He's like the manager, making sure he's safe at all times and stable. Now imagine a door in the room, one neither Karma or Taehyung can open to. Well, that's were I was or where I came from," She tells and crosses her leg, "When a new alter usually blossoms, it's to handle a certain situation or face them rather than the host, that's just the brains way to cope with the memory. In my case, neither Karma or Taehyung could.... I don't want to say handle, but the situation they went through became too much to bare, even for Karma and his function as a protector. So I came in. While Karma took the hits, I switch with him so I can save the memory from either of them. Let's just say that I came off from a bit of Taehyung and Karma's personality just so you can get an idea, forming me! Ain't that exciting?"

Jungkook buries his face in his hands as he takes this all in, "So..... You're like their care taker or something?"

"You could say that," She snickers and suddenly pouts, "Karma was a little bad boy at first and I would put him in his place if I wasn't on the other side of the door to keep the.... Bad things in check. Things that even Karma doesn't know of. Well, now I'm officially to the light since I can handle more pain tolerance than most. Guess things were that bad."

By now Jungkook's head is spinning too much thats he's seeing stars now. He sits beside V and stares at the ground, "But we saw.... The machine.... W-Where's Karma?"

This made V twitch a frown, "Oh honey bun, He's..... He's just.... Gone as of now," She murmurs, making Jungkook snap his head to her, "No not like dead, an alter can't die. It's just.... He's like put to sleep, or immobilized. That usually happens with the medication."

"Medication? What medi-"

"Kim Taehyung," One of the guards calls out, opening the door, "Your medic is here."

Jungkook's eyebrows furrowed, to the male nurse dressed in white entering the cell. V smiles weakly and turns to Jungkook, "We'll talk later sweetie pie, it was a nice chat," She beams and stands up, approaching the nurse confidently.

"Guess you're still breathing. I thought you would drop dead after I spit on your face."

The nurse rolls his eyes raised up their sleeve and wipes their skin, "Shut up and let me do my job," he mutters and instantly injects the needle, inserting the liquid to their body and pulls it away. Without another word he walks away and closes the door behind him.

Jungkook studies the other carefully, taking in how a low huffs escapes their lips and turns their body, meeting Jungkook's gaze, "And I'm back."

There's Taehyung's gentle voice.

"Little cub," He whispers with a soft smile but then furrows his eyebrows, "Wait so what happened to V?"

Taehyung sits beside Jungkook, hands rubbing his knees, "She'll come back soon. The medication sedates her for a while, but she does have that tolerance for it, unlike Karma."

Jungkook could hear the delicate tone in his voice, bringing him to his chest with a rub on his arm, "He'll come back, you'll see."

A weak sob escapes Taehyung's lips and he clutches to his shirt, "It's so empty without him. I miss him so much."

It shattered a sensitive nerve in Jungkook's heart to have heard this, pressing his cheek against Taehyung's head, "I miss him too," He whispers and pulls away, taking Taehyung's face in his hands and wipes his tears away, "But we got each other. Okay little cub? I won't leave you behind."

"That's the same thing he told me," Taehyung whimpers, squeezing his eyes shut, "Don't l-leave my side please."

Jungkook caresses his cheek and leans to his lips, pressing a comforting peck before also pecking his forehead, "I'm not going anywhere, I promise. We just have to wait for Jimin now, he will always come for us."

Taehyung's nods slowly and hugs Jungkook tightly, letting it fuel him with comfort.
