Taehyung came out of his room with his phone, heading into the living room. He saw Jungkook asleep on the couch sitting his head resting against the couch's headrest, eyes closed and breaths even.

A fond smile tugged at Taehyung's lips as he approached the couch. He gently sat down beside Jungkook. Holding his phone in one hand, Taehyung reached out with the other, giving Jungkook a gentle poke on the arm."Sleeping, hun?" he murmured softly.

But Jungkook didn't reply. "God, you sleep so deep," Taehyung said as he squeezed Jungkook's cheeks. "Kookoo Kooki Wakey-wakey!," Taehyung said cutely, but Jungkook didn't budge. "Fine~" Taehyung sighed. "Sleep," he said, and started to use his phone.

After some time, Jin came in and sat near Jungkook. "He's sleeping on the couch again! I told him not to sleep here. This position will hurt his back." He said concern.

Taehyung looked up from his phone and replied, "He is Jeon Jungkook, hyung! Do you think he will listen?" Jin just shook his head, and Taehyung smirked and returned to his phone.

Jin sighed and gave Jungkook a gentle shake. "Hey Jungkook, go to your bed and sleep!" But Jungkook didn't wake up. "Yah, Jeon Jungkook, I'm saying something. Wake up, come on!"

"Gosh, it's really hard to wake this brat up," Jin sighed.
"Let him be, hyung. He must be tired, that's why he slept here," Taehyung said. "Really!?" Jin raised his eyebrows. "He practically sleeps everywhere except his bed, whether he's tired or not." He said frustrated.

"Oh right, he slept under the table yesterday," Taehyung recalled.

"See?" Jin crossed his arms.

"Hey, what's happening?" Jimin asked, entering from the entrance door with Namjoon, Yoongi, and Hoseok, who were carrying bags from their shopping trip.

"Jungkook's happening!" Jin exclaimed.

"What?" Hoseok asked, passing by Jimin and Yoongi on his way to the kitchen.

"We've been trying to wake him up, but he's not budging," Taehyung informed. "Oh, just this again." Yoongi said, settling onto the single couch. "Let the kid sleep, everyone deserves a peaceful rest." He added a yawn.

"I don't know about everyone else, but you definitely need some sleep hyung." Namjoon chuckled, joining Hoseok in placing the groceries on the kitchen counter.

"Well, Yoongi hyung always needs sleep, he can never get enough of it." Jimin teased with a smile.

Yoongi shot him a mock glare, but his lips curled into a playful smirk. "Watch it, Jimin-ah," He said in a fake serious tone, causing Jimin to nervously chuckle. "Sorry, hyung." Jimin replied with an apologetic smile, knowing full well that Yoongi enjoyed these little exchanges and shake his head before sitting on the couch 's armrest.

He lightly nudged Jungkook's foot with his own. "Hey, Kook-ah, wake up! We brought some snacks, you don't want to miss out."

But Jungkook didn't react

"He's out like a light." Hoseok observed, shaking his head in amusement. Jimin, undeterred, gently poked Jungkook's cheek. "Come on, wakey-wakey, sleeping beauty!" But Jungkook didn't even stir.

"He's probably dreaming about dance moves right now," Yoongi joked, earning a chuckle from others.

"He must be really exhausted," Namjoon remarked, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Yeah, he's been working non-stop on those dance routines lately," Hoseok said joining others.

          

"Let him sleep," Namjoon suggested, pouring himself a glass of water "He'll wake up when he's ready." He also joined them sitting next to Hoseok.

"Or when he smells the food," Yoongi added with a smirk, setting down a bag of snacks on the coffee table.

"Yeah, he's like a food radar." Jimin agreed, taking a snack packet. "But seriously, he should really get up before his back starts hurting."

"That's why I want him to take his rest seriously. He sleeps anywhere but his bed, and then complains about being tired. You all work so hard and deserve proper rest, but he doesn't even seem bothered," Jin said, his irritation tinged with concern evident on his face.

Everyone glanced at each other knowingly. They understood that Jin always became worried when the members didn't take their health seriously. He had earned the nickname "overprotective mama bear," (although he hates that name but can't help it.)
and when it came to Jungkook, he was even more vigilant. Jin saw himself as a father figure to Jungkook, especially since he had basically raised Jungkook.  While all the members played a role in Jungkook's upbringing, Jungkook held a special place in Jin's heart.

"You are right hyung he should sleep on the bed." Hoseok said " Hey, Kook, wake up buddy. You shouldn't sleep here." Hoseok said as he knelt down near the couch and gently shook Jungkook's shoulder. "Hey, Kook, wake up buddy. You shouldn't sleep here." But as before he didn't even move.

After Hoseok tried waking Jungkook up with no success, Namjoon decided to give it a shot. He playfully shook Jungkook's shoulder,"Hey, Jungkook, rise and shine! We've got banana milk  and your bed is much comfier than this couch," Namjoon said with a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood.

But Jungkook remained unresponsive, breathing steadily with no signs of waking up.Concern filled the room as the members exchanged glances. Jimin nervously bit his lip, unused to seeing Jungkook so deeply asleep. Yoongi, who typically remained nonchalant, furrowed his brows with mild worry.

"Should we try something else?" Jimin asked, looking around at his bandmates. Taehyung chuckled and shook his head. "He's fine, guys. He's just pulling our leg."

But the others looked worried. "Come on, Jungkook if it's a prank then stop it." Yoongi said, trying to hide his concern. "You win, we lose. Wake up now."

But Jungkook still didn't budge.

Namjoon frowned. "This isn't like him. He's always been a heavy sleeper, but this is different."Hoseok placed a hand on Jungkook's forehead. "He's not feverish or anything."Jin  tried shaking him again. "Jungkook, bunny wake up. We're getting worried."

But Jungkook remained motionless, his breathing steady and deep.

The room fell silent, the only sound being Jungkook's steady breathing. The members exchanged worried glances, their initial amusement turning to concern.
Taehyung's expression also changed from amusement to worry. " Kooki hey wake up please! " As accepted nothing. " Hyung" Taehyung looked towards his hyungs not knowing what to do.

Yoongi got up from the couch, a hint of frustration in his voice. "Come on, kid! Stop this prank now!" He walked over to Jungkook and gave him a gentle push.

But instead of waking up, Jungkook's body fell limp, sliding off the couch and onto Jin's lap. Jin's eyes widened in shock as he hold onto Jungkook. " Ju... Jungkook ?"
