It was ten at night by the time Jungkook arrived back at the dorms. Drained and exhausted from the intensive practice for their comeback, the black haired male dragged his feet across the hall to his room.

It was only then that he realized he had forgotten his keys inside. Jungkook hit his head against the wooden door, sighing tiredly.

"Great, now what." He muttered. "It's my first day and I already fucked up."

He pounded on his door repeatedly, as if it were going to do him any good. Too fatigued to fix his situation, he plopped onto the floor, resting his back against the wall. Sleep seemed to overcome his body and Jungkook soon found himself asleep outside, in the hallway, head resting on his duffle bag.

Taehyung stepped off of the bus that stopped right in front of the college. It was another long day at work, yet he enjoyed the fact he worked at an amusement park. Lotte World to be exact; working several shifts, from the smoothie bar to ride controls.

He carried with him a couple of churros that he stole from the snack cart, although he argued with his co-workers that he was simply making sure they don't waste food. Checking his phone with his free hand, he realized it was nearly midnight.

Taehyung entered the dorms and caught the elevator up, humming along to the music. He smiled cheerfully, loving his new hair that the Lotte World suggested to him. When the doors slid open, he happily walked down the hallway as he munched on one of the churro sticks.

His walking came to an abrupt stop when he spotted a figure lying in the hallway in front of his door. Taehyung slowly approached the sleeping male, making sure he was quiet enough not to wake him.

"Jungkook?" He whispered to himself. What is he doing out here?

Taehyung observed how the younger was curled into a ball, shivering in the cold air. The older grunted in frustration. It's not my problem, he thought to himself.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out his room key. Once he unlocked his door, he entered his room, silently closing the door behind him so he doesn't wake the other.

Taehyung looked through the small hole in his door to check if he had awakened Jungkook. He sighed in relief to see that the younger was still sleeping, but he began to frown as he watched the younger's lips quiver.

Seriously Jeon? Why are you sleeping there?

Taehyung placed his hand on the doorknob, but he stopped himself. Shaking his head in disagreement, he walked away from the door. "This is good for him. He will learn what it's like not to be pampered."

Walking away, the elder stopped and growled to himself. He quietly pulled the door open and tossed a churro outside, watching as it hit Jungkook in the head and land on the side. He swiftly closed the door once he saw the younger male flinch.

He smiled inwardly. Good job tae. Good job.

An hour later, Taehyung was showered and laying in his bed, staring blankly up at the ceiling. He clenched onto his blanket sheet, contemplating on whether or not he should check on Jungkook.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that he decided he'll check, just once. He crept to the door and peeked through the door, finding Jungkook in the same spot, but this time, the shivers were out of control.

He looked towards the ground and found that the churro hadn't been touched. Taehyung groaned, pulling the door open and standing in front of the sleeping male. "Yah, Jungkook."
