"What are you doing here, Tae?" Jimin was shocked that Tae came to him that late at night.

"I have something to discuss with you. Can't I come in?"

"Ah, what are you talking about, Tae? You don't need permission." Jimin could see Tae's unreadable expression. They went inside Jimin's room. They sat on the edge of the bed.

"Tell me, what's wrong, Tae?" Jimin gently held Tae's hand.

"Nothing, Jiminah! I am worried."

"About what? Did someone say something?"

"No, I'm just worried about you guys, especially you. You... you are getting away from me. You have started keeping secrets from me too. Am I not your best friend now?" Tae looked directly into Jimin's eyes.

Jimin could not understand what is going on inside Tae's mind. "You're still my best friend and you will always be, Tae. Please tell me what're you thinking. I don't want any misunderstanding between us."

"I... I mean... You guys got to know so many things about Yoongi and Jin. But you did not tell me anything. Do you guys think I can't do anything? Do you think I am useless?" Tae's eyes were glittering.

"No, Tae! You're not useless at all! You were not here so we could not tell you anything. Apart from that, when we found out that we were shocked. You did see Hobi's reaction. Didn't you?"

"Yeah, I saw that. But..." Tae didn't know what to think or say.

"No buts... Stay here with me tonight. I'll tell you everything I know. Wait... Have you eaten anything?"

"No. I was not in the mood. I thought I lost my best friend."

Jimin laughed mentally at his best friend's cuteness. But he could not show that. He knew if he did so, Tae would kill him. "Okay, let me get something for you. Meanwhile, call aunty and tell her that you are staying here tonight."

"Okay."

After eating, Jimin explained everything they found out earlier. Tae then understood that he misunderstood Jimin and others.

"Kook also doesn't know anything. Because he is busy with their song project." Jimin said.

"Are not we going to tell him anything?" Tae asked.

"I want to. But I have to ask Hobi first. You know that Hobi does not trust Kook that much. He thinks Kook is a mysterious character. But Hobi's family and Jin's dad like Kook. Hobi told me that. It's a matter of time, Hobi will also trust him."

"Yeah, I think so." Tae paused for some seconds. Then continued, "What should we do now? I mean, to make everything okay, to make Jin, Yoongi and their father happy again?"

"We can't do anything now. We have to wait for the opportunity. For now, we have to make Jin and Yoongi feel loved. We have to make them feel that we care about them, we are here for them."

"Yes, Jiminah!" Tae hugged Jimin tightly.

That night everyone was in darkness. They all were somehow in pain. Jin thought that he was a Barden to everyone. Hobi was worried for Jin and thought that if he could do anything to make Jin happy. Jin's dad was in self-doubt. He badly wanted his family back. Yoongi didn't know the feeling but he felt that. He could not forget Jin's teary puffy eyes. He wondered what made him cry? Was it Kook? He wanted to know the secret Jin and Kook shared. After knowing Jin's secret, Kook wanted to comfort him. To him, Jin was a Fragile flower that he wanted to protect. But he could not seek anyone's help as he promised Jin. He wanted to know Yoongi better too. He wanted them all to be happy. On the other hand, Joon was in doubt too. He wanted to help others to make Jin and Yoongi happy. But he didn't know if they were doing the right thing interfering with their private life. But he wanted to help them anyways.

(Time skipped to next morning)

Jin did not want to go anywhere outside his room. But he had to give Yoongi's notebook to Kook and he didn't want to be suspicious. He was thinking of talking to Yoongi about their father. But he was afraid. He didn't know what to do. After thinking for some time, he decided to go to University. He did not sleep at all. So, he went out of his room early and helped his aunty in the kitchen. Hobi woke up and saw him in the kitchen.

"Hey Jin, are you okay now? Does your stomach still hurt?" Hobi asked taking a seat near him.

"I'm oaky Hobi. Don't worry too much and get ready."

Hobi could hear the hoarseness of Jin's voice. He knew something was off. But they didn't have time to talk over it. "I'll talk to you later, Jin. You have to open up to me. I'll not let anything bad happen to you or anyone else." He thought and went to his room to get changed.

The day began at their Uni. Everyone noticed the different aura from Jin. The playful, shining, smiling Jin was not with them. The Jin, who was with them was completely opposite. He was too reserved. He was not talking at all, just some nods here and there. Kook decided to have some private talk with him. Because he knew that Jin would tell him everything. After their classes, Jin gave Yoongi's notebook to Kook with only a soft smile. He already took the photo out of the notebook last night. He didn't want to involve Kook in his mess. Kook was about to say something but he stopped.

Yoongi could not stay silent. "Jin, are you coming today for practice? We all know that you were not feeling well last night. If you want to rest, you can. Don't force yourself." Yoongi's voice was filled with care and concern.

"No, I'm okay, Yoongichi. I'll come for practice."

"Then I'll meet you at your house as usual. Don't be late, Jinie." Kook said looking at Jin's eyes.

"Ah, Kookie, I have something to do. I'll be late today. You don't have to wait for me. I'll go there alone." Jin said, not looking at Kook.

"But..."

"No buts, Kookie. I'm not a kid. You guys can't protect me always. I have to take care of myself. And I can do that. Stop treating me like a naive kid." Jin said with a strict voice. No one ever heard him talking like that, not even Hobi. But no one dared to say anything.

"Are you going home or not?" Jin asked Hobi and took his hand to drag him out. Yoongi and Joon went out talking about the song. Yoongi needed Joon's help. Kook was standing still looking in the direction Jin and Hobi went to.

"Jin is acting so strange. Can I try to talk to him?" Tae asked Jimin.

"No, not now. Let him be. He may need some alone time."

"But I'm feeling bad for him." Tae looked up to the sky afar.

"We all are feeling bad, Tae. Try not to force him to do anything." Jimin paused and he saw Kook was standing near them.

"What are you talking about?" Kook said closing the distance between them.

"Let's talk about it somewhere else," Jimin said. He thought that everyone except Kook knew about Jin and Yoongi's matter. He deserved to know. He could help them too. They went to a nearby Coffeeshop.

Hobi and Jin were walking silently. Hobi could not stay silent. He held Jin's hand and said, "Is something wrong, Jin? You know that I'm always here for you."

Jin did not look at him. He wanted to stay quiet but he knew Hobi would not stop asking him. "Nothing serious, Hobi. I'm just tense about our song. Also, we have our exam coming up. They all are pressuring me. I think my mind needs some rest."

"But, Jinie, you never stressed out for exams. It's okay to take some rest from everything. But exam or the song is not the case, I know that, Jin. If you don't want to talk about your problems now, it's fine. But, if it bothers you too much, you are always welcome to me. You know that, right?" Hobi's voice was filled with so much care that Jin almost told him everything. But he didn't.

"I know, Hobi. I promise I'm completely fine. You don't have to worry that much. If anything happens, I'll defiantly tell you. Okay?" He forced a smile on his face. He knew that Hobi always catch him hiding anything. But could not help it.

# At the Coffeeshop

Jimin and Tae told Kook everything they knew about Jin and Yoongi. Kook felt really bad for both of them. He felt guilty too. He wanted to give comfort to them. "I was so wrong about them. I misunderstood Yoongi. He has his reasons for being like that. He has his reasons for wanting to be near Jinie. He needs someone who cares about him, gives him comfort, makes him smile. And Jinie is the person. I understand now. And Jinie... I knew he has many pains hidden in his heart. But I didn't know he has this much pain." He left the coffee shop with an unreadable expression.

# At JinHope's house

"Where is uncle?" Hobi asked his mom. Jin was already inside his room.

"Oh, Ji-Hoon SSi went to meet someone. He said that he'll return in the evening." Hobi's mom answered watching the TV.

"Oh!" Hobi didn't say anything more and went to his room. Before entering his room, he stopped Infront of Jin's room. "I'll not anything bad to happen to you guys." He muttered and went to his room.

Jin was lost in his own clouds of thoughts. His phone rang. It was Yoongi.

"Hello, Yoongichi!"

"Hello, Jin! I have a request! Can you stay for some time with me after our practice? Just me and you?" Yoongi's voice was soft and calm. Jin didn't how he could face Yoongi after knowing everything. But he had no choice though. "Yes, Yoongichi! I'll stay. What about Kookie?"

"I'll handle him. Okay, Bye, Jin!"

"Bye, Yoongichi!"
