"Jin hyung," Yoongi suddenly called, startling him.

    "Y-Yeah, what's up Yoongi?"

    Did he attend the scene? Jin suddenly wondered, worried, scanning Yoongi's face for a sign of concern. But Yoongi remained impassive and it was hard to know what he was thinking.

    While joining him in the hallway however, Yoongi didn't seem like he saw or heard anything unusual so Jin quickly stopped worrying. Yet, he tried to test him just in case.

     "I just hung up, I was with my mom."

     "I know, Jungkook asked me to pick you up, he said he was too tired to walk because of his sleepless night. I suspect he just wanted to stay longer at the table to eat more. What about you, have you finished eating?"

     "Yes, my appetite just left me after that phone call," Jin said distractedly, brushing his hair mechanically.

     "Why, did you get bad news?" Yoongi asked, worried.

     "Something like that," Jin answered evasively. "but nothing very serious, don't worry, I was able to resolve the situation. By the way, why did Jungkook ask you to pick me up?"

     "We're going to start the live soon so we you better hurry before making Han more constipated than he already is because of your hand."

    "Pfff," Jin chuckled, "someone get that man more coffee."

    Now a few centimeters from his face, Yoongi pointed his finger at his forehead.

     "W-what's the matter?" Jin asked, perplexed, seeing Yoongi staring at his forehead.

    "You have a red mark on your forehead."

     "A mark" Jin repeated, rubbing his forehead and remembering Lee giving him a painful flick. He hadn't thought it could have left a mark. "Oh, heck, does it show a lot?"

    "No, it's fine but maybe you should put some cream or something to reduce the redness before the live. How did you get that?"

    "I must have scratched a little too hard," the eldest lied, starting to scratch.

    "Right," Yoongi said, looking at him with a disillusioned air.

     "But at least people will be focusing on my forehead and maybe they'll forget to look at my injured hand, that's perfect," Jin laughed nervously keeping a hand on his forehead. 

    Yoongi offered him his most reproving eyes.

    "Let's go," he said.  

    "Okay."

    The two boys joined the others who were wainting. The live did not start immediately because the space had to be prepared in a hotel room and that took time. In the meantime, the discussion happily revolved around the night before at the song festival. 

     The members surfed the internet for videos of their frantic late-night dancing, admiring the rhythmic dance of the maknae line but having a giggle in front of Jin's furious dance. 

    "It was epic!" Hoseok exclaimed.

     As they then contemplated the melancholy dance of Jin and Jungkook, the eyes of the members softened: there was so much sweetness in this dance and in the faces of the two dancers that neither of them had any doubts about the question that tapped them: yes, Jin and Jungkook had totally reconciled, and they even seemed closer than ever.

     The two new lovers were doing their best to adopt the same attitude as usual or at least the usual before their argument and Jin was doing it quite well as he suddenly realized that their relationship had always been characterized by a important physical closeness and affectionate behavior, beyond those that they dispensed publicly. 

     The other members were also oddly used to seeing them like this, hitting, massaging, feeding each other... had they already formed a couple all their years without knowing it? Jin wondered, suddenly fully aware of the strangeness these behaviors could have in people other than couples, although he had never paid attention to it before.

     But he pushed the thought out of his mind as he observed Jimin and Taehyung. The two were undoubtedly very close and were always glued to each other. They had even shared a song about friendship, about being soulmates and had sometimes cried when they realized the wonderful bond between them. 

      Still, Taehyung resented any idea of ​​turning his friendship with Jimin as well as with Jungkook into a romantic one. So, an almost fusional closeness didn't necessarily mean romance. For that to happen, the feelings surrounding this relationship simply had to match.

     In fact, Jin told himself that if he had not felt these feelings all his years despite his physical proximity, it meant that it was not yet a love in the romantic sense of the term, but an affection that had grown to find its completion in this present love. 

      After all, Jungkook was really very young when they first met so it was normal that he only felt brotherly love. Anyway, in his point of view, there was no point in changing his demeanor, his usual affectionate gestures were enough for him to show Jungkook that he loved him with all his heart.

     The maknae, however, was of a different opinion and was particularly clingy, but it instead made the other members laugh and Jin was relieved.

     "Jungkook, hyung is not going to fly away if that's what you're afraid of," Jimin mocked gently as he watched them.

     "But it's been so long since we've had a peaceful conversation like this all together. I missed it!" Jungkook replied.

      "I think everyone missed it," Namjoon nodded, smiling, "of course there are things we will have to discuss all together again because what happened was really serious and could have jeopardized survival of our group. We must discuss it to understand the causes and ensure that it does not happen again."

     Jin and Jungkook froze at his words, but seeing how uncomfortable they were, Namjoon hastened to add:

"However, I believe we can wait until the end of the tour to take the time to do this, as we will have much more stressful things to deal with. If no one has a problem with that of course because if anyone thinks that it might disrupt our tour, then we have to do it before our departure."

     He looked around his group.

     "I think we're all okay with putting this off until later," Hoseok asserted, earning the approval of everyone else, except Yoongi who frowned as if he had something to say but, attentive not to pose again alone against the others who wanted to postpone this discussion.

     "Yoongi hyung?" Namjoon asked, careful to listen to everyone's opinion and seeing that the eldest rapper seemed upset. 

     "I think..." he started, but seeing how disappointed the others were at the idea of ​​seeing him spoil the good atmosphere that was currently reigning, he replied: "it doesn't matter, let's wait for the end of the tour and quarrel no more until then."

     "Thanks hyung!" Jungkook said, relieved.

      He first thought that the discussion Namjoon initiated would involve a certain book of military strategies. He was also grateful that Yoongi had not spoken again of his feelings for Jin that he had detected before. It would have put him in a difficult position, especially since denying it was now going to be a real lie. 

     Jungkook rubbed his hand vigorously on Jin's thigh to secretly celebrate these little victories of the moment and Jin smiled as he finished sipping the maknae's ice coffee that he just stole from his hand.

      By mid-morning, the members gathered in the small room reserved by their managers for the planned Vlive. On the program, they had to go back to the ceremony the day before, to the last version of the album, to the mystery of their respective solo but above all, they had to address the world tour which began two days later.

      They settled in a corner of the live room, on the cushions brought in by the staff, and lined up in two rows for everyone to appear in the camera view. Instinctively, Jin went to sit in the back as he used to and Jungkook who was following closely joined him, but Han who had just entered the room, asked him to position himself in the foreground, between Taehyung and Jimin on one side and Namjoon on the other, while at the back were Hoseok, Jin and Yoongi.

     "Why-" Jungkook began, annoyed as Han and the rest of the staff walked out, leaving the camera in the hands of the band but letting them know they would be watching the live nearby.

     "It's okay Jungkook," Jin calmed him down, sitting up and curling his long legs up to his chest, "I'm right behind you." 

     He had taken off his arm sling to hide his plastered hand more easily during the live and not to draw attention to him but he knew he was probably going to have to talk about it anyway

     As everyone took their seats and Jimin went to turn on the camera, Jungkook smirked. He pulled back slightly and leaned against Jin's bent legs as the live began, in front of several million fans online across the world. Jungkook's head resting against Jin's knees, the eldest began to discreetly run his fingers through the maknae's now long, black hair.

      The members cheerfully greeted their fans and struck up a conversation according to the preset schedule, sometimes answering questions from their fans.

     During the first part of the live, Jin was almost invisible in the discussion, happy to be hidden in the second row, leaving the others to lead the conversation. However, bored to death without Jin's interventions, Jungkook decided to wake him up by pinching his calf. 

     Startled, Jin retaliated by tickling him under the arms and the two ended up bickering silently as Jimin, who was speaking, found it harder and harder to concentrate. When his speech was over, he let Hoseok read the passing comments aloud, and chose the one that came back forcefully:

      "Seokjin oppa, what happened to your hand?"

      Behind his back, Jungkook turned around as he felt Jin's legs stiffen, probably along with the rest of his body, as the time had come for him to speak up and lie to his fans about the true cause of his injury. 

      The maknae reached out to the eldest and gave him a gentle head massage in turn to reassure and encourage him. He knew that Jin also had qualms about using his name in his explanation.

      "Aaaaaah this is embarrassing!" Jin finally exclaimed with a smile, resuming consistency under Jungkook's reassuring hand, brandishing his plastered hand so that the camera could capture it perfectly, "Can you imagine that I was playing with JK and my finger ended up breaking against his muscular body?! Shouldn't he finally stop weight training or should I take up bodybuilding more seriously?"

     The rest of the members laughed and fans stormed in for the comments:

"OOooooh Tom and Jerry in action, it's been a while!"

"But Tom took a beating XD"

"Obviously, Jungkook oppa's muscles are no joke! "

"Noooo Kookie, don't stop weight training, you are so sexy like that!!"

 "Yessssssss Jin oppa !!!! Do a lot of bodybuilding and show us your abs on the way!"

"Unbelievable, after hitting a wall in the face, there he breaks his finger hitting someone, it sound risible but it's Jin we're talking about, let's not forget he's a real clown!"

"It's not embarrassing Jin oppa, don't worry, it's not your fault that JK is ridiculously strong!"

"Jin's fingers are so fragile that they break so easily? He need to be protected please !"

"AAAAAaaaah it hurts just to think about it! Are you okay?"

"Poor Jin oppa, that must have hurt him so much ='( 

"I hope Jin oppa will recover quickly!"

"I love you Jin oppa, please take care of yourself! <3"

"I'm so happy to see Jin laughing and joking again, I missed him so much!"

"So cool to see Jin and Jungkook getting along so well again"

 "If their friendship doesn't stop at a broken finger, it's really an unbreakable friendship LOL"

 "We love you guys!"

"JK please take care of Jin oppa!!" 

     Jungkook moved his hand away from Jin's head only to start stroking his bare ankle with his fingertips to signify "You did well, hyung" and the elder smiled back at him, preferring not to follow the comments with his eyes because they flash up on the screen by hundreds. Some of them was filled with affection towards him and others filled with mockery, no doubt, but he didn't take offense and tried not to take them too seriously,knowing it was the price to pay for hiding the truth. 

      The hand of Jungkook fulfilled its mission and managed to distract him from the comment that suddenly appeared on the tablet that Jimin was then holding:

"월드 투어 중에 끔찍한 일이 당신에게 일어날 것입니다!"
