"Kook! Please! Come out! We're trying to help you!"

"Go away Jimin Hyung! I didn't ask for help! Just leave me alone. Please.. Just go away.."
The youngest's voice tapered and cracked at the end. No doubt he was on the verge of tears.
​
Yoongi nudged Jimin away from the door softly so that he could take a shot at speaking to his brother.

"Jungkook... please. At least just let us see how you are.. Jin hyung said you haven't come out to eat anything."

"Yoongi Hyung, I'm fine, just go away!"

"No, I refuse, no can do, nada, no thanks, no way, not today, denied, rejected, idea vetoed, want me to continue?"

"No."

"Then open the goddamn door before I break it down myself."

Jungkook sniffled as he got up to unlock the door to his room with shaky fingers and retreated back to his mattress. As the door swung open, his hyungs looked at him with widened eyes.

He knew he didn't look too great.

He was wearing one of Taehyung's hoodies and a pair of shorts. His eyes were droopy, much different from his big doe eyes, and his face lost its color. His tear-stained cheeks topped off the look.

'Tormented Teen Chic' is his the name to his new cosmetic and fashion lines.

"Jungkook!" Hoseok yelled taking in the brunette's appearance.

"Yeah, Hyung?" The maknae replied tilting his head up a small bit, showing acknowledgement but not looking into his eyes.

He already knew his hyungs face's were plastered with worry.

"Don't 'Yes hyung' me. Jungkook you're thinner than a board." Hoseok took the youngest's arm into his hands and examined it.

The bone was perfectly visible.

"Have you eaten in the last week?" The raven haired junior asked, voice laced with worry. Jungkook just looked away avoiding eye contact

"Jin hyung is making you lunch right now." The ghost in front of him remained silent.

"Kookie.." Jungkook took his em back and looked up at Jimin's face slowly.

"You need to take care of yourself, regardless of how you're feeling right now. You need to get food and sleep. Please, Kookie. Your hyungs worry about you so much, y'know." Jimin pulled Jungkook into a tight hug while they both felt tears boiling in his eyes. The youngest just couldn't hold them.

"Shh, hyung's here. Everyone's here Kook." The one swaddled in Jimin's arms shook his head.

"N-No.. H-He's not- Tae.. He.." The others began to crowd onto Jungkook's bed and hug one another as he cried into Jimin's chest.

"Are we missing the party?" Namjoon and Jin appeared in the doorway, Jin holding a tray with pancakes, water, and vitamins. He put the tray on Jungkook's desk and they both piled onto the bed as Hoseok made a space for them.

They stayed like that for a while. Letting Jungkook's emotions break loose. After a bit, he fell asleep. Soft snores and sniffles echoed in the room.

They began unwinding out of the human ball they had made. Jimin, still holding Jungkook's delicate body in his lap, breaks the silence.

"This is one step at least." His hyungs nod to him.

"Yeah, he finally let us enter his room." Namjoon let a small smile escape while watching Jungkook stir in his sleep.

"He'll open up when he's ready. He's a strong kid. We all know that." The rest of the group nodded.

They all crowded around the bed, grabbing pillows and blankets to lay on the floor.

When everyone settled, Jungkook's head was now in Yoongi's lap on the bed while the older pet his head gently. Jimin sat next to Yoongi and rested his head on his boyfriend's shoulder. Namjoon, Hoseok, and Jin sat together on the floor making little jokes. A few chuckles here and there.

It was like routine. They've had so many little sleepovers in Jungkook's room that it's just natural to them all. It was just never this quiet.

The almost silence wasn't tense but it wasn't happy. It was full of thought. Thoughts of worry. Thoughts of sadness. They all looked focused and serious.

The boys' eyes eventually landed on the extra space that remained on the floor. The same thought flashed and the same memories flooded their brains.

Seokjin sighed, knowing what everyone was thinking.

"Let's go to sleep guys. We all need a goodnight sleep."

Just like that, the boys were out like a light at the oldest's words.
