17) Feelings

                                    

                                          
A week earlier
                          
"He's with Jackson? Of course! Who else would he be with! What a sl-","Hoseok!", seokjin shouted, cutting off the rapper from insulting their leader anymore. 
                          
"Why should I? He's with fucking Jackson, jin hyung! In out own damn house!?", hoseok screeched, huffing in annoyance. 
                          
"I called him", seokjin told in a very calm tone which made everyone shiver. That voice wasn't very good. It meant that seokjin was fuming with anger. And of course Hoseok knew it but he was too blinded by his own fury that he didn't think further before snapping. 
                          
"You? Why would you do that?! Are you outta your fucking mind? God, hyung, you really want him whoring around in our own home just like the sl-","He was crying, hobi hyung", jungkook said desperately, as if to try and calm the elder down. 
                          
"So? So what? Maybe he's just doing it for sympathy. Fucking pathetic!", "you don't know that!","you don't know it either!", hoseok cut Jimin off as soon as he did. Everyone went silent after that, they just stared at each other for a moment before yoongi came from behind and wrapped his arms around hoseok's waist. Hoseok immediately melted into the hug and rested his head on yoongi's shoulder. 
                          
"He had an injured ankle. You don't even wanna know how much blood was flowing through the injury. He literally couldn't dance properly because of it but he still did the choreography perfectly, without mistakes. He really tried, hobi", yoongi said softly. 
                          
Hoseok was at a loss of words. He was feeling really guilty to have acted the way he did. He knew he had no right to stay mad at namjoon. Yeah, he betrayed them but they couldn't do anything about it. And he knew that everyone wasn't angry because namjoon cheated, they were just sad because namjoon didn't love them anymore. Not in that way atleast. 
                          
"Guys, I think we should stop treating namjoon the way we did. Let's just start afresh. And I know we all still love him. And so what if he isn't our boyfriend anymore? We can still stay friends. He's our leader, too", taehyung said excitedly and everyone knew he was faking it but his idea was not bad. They knew they had to start anew and mend things with namjoon before it's too late.

"Hyung, do you want yogurt?", Jimin asked hesitantly as namjoon stopped in his track to the gym. He stared at him in shock and confusion before he broke out into a tired smile. "No, thanks, Jimin. You have it", he said and continued his way upstairs. 
                          
Jimin couldn't help but notice namjoon's tiny figure, he was tall, that was no exception but he was seemingly thin. He wore a complete white shirt which was a bit translucent and Jimin could swear that he could see his ribs protruding. He had dark circles under his eyes and his usually honey tan skin looked quite pale and Jimin couldn't help but worry. He had his eyebrows creased with worry and he made his way to yoongi's bedroom. 
                          
"Hyung...", he called out softly, his voice came out more vulnerable than he would've liked it to. Yoongi wasn't a morning person at all but as soon as he heard the younger's tone, he sat up on his bed quickly. 
                          
"Jiminie? What happened? Come here", the elder called, his voice a bit raspy from sleep. Jimin nodded timidly and sat down on yoongi's lap, the elder wrapped his arms around Jimin's small waist, resting his chin on his shoulder. 
                          
"It's about namjoonie", Jimin said after sometime. Yoongi went rigid for just a flash second but nodded immediately. "Yeah? What's it?", he asked. Jimin sighed before answering, "He- he was going to the gym today and I couldn't help but notice how thin he have gotten. Yoongi hyung, you don't even wanna know how awful he looked. He had dark eye bags and his skin was really pale. It looked like he had been crying or maybe drinking because of how red his eyes were. And to be honest, I think he's not eating and getting much sleep. I'm worried".
