Jimin goes downhill fast leaving Yoongi feeling completely helpless.

It starts with the small things Jimin thinks Yoongi won't notice. Like hiding bits of his food in his napkin when Yoongi isn't looking.

Then to the occasional 'I'll eat later' or 'I ate earlier'. Both very reasonable excuses in any other situation.

But pretty soon Jimin starts skipping around all of his meals claiming to not be hungry.

Yoongi finds all of Jimin's excuses and meal skipping frustratingly heartbreaking.

But its not until Jimin's showers get longer and the skin on his knuckles begin to rub raw because of how many times he's shoved his fingers downs his throat to make himself at least not feel fat.

Jimin can admit he's selfish. He can admit that as he tries to reach his own happiness he isn't thinking about Yoongi or how it makes him feel.

Even though Yoongi claims to have always loved him Jimin knows that Yoongi will love him more when he's thin. When he isn't so fat.

Now Jimin sits on the bathroom floor with his knees pulled securely to his chest as Yoongi stands in the doorway asking him questions he doesn't really hear.

  "Why're you sitting here Jiminie?" Yoongi asks his tone gentle and caring.

Jimin shrugs resting his forehead on his folded arms.

  "Come on out of here then." Yoongi says leaning over to help Jimin up.

  "Don't." Jimin says standing on his own.

Yoongi stops himself from sighing as Jimin brushes past him.

    "Jimin." Yoongi says already not expecting an answer.

Yoongi follows Jimin to the lounge before speaking again.

  "Jimin. I'm really worried about you." Yoongi says.

  "I'm fine." Jimin says wrapping himself up in a blanket.

  "You say that but I know your not." Yoongi says. "And its really scaring me."

  "I am fine." Jimin says his blank gaze focused on the wall.

  "You're not Jimin. You are not okay." Yoongi says trying to keep his voice calm. "I think we should call-"

  "You can't make me get help y'know." Jimin says his tone suddenly defensive. "I'm not a minor and you can't force me to do anything I don't want to do. So just leave it alone."

  "Minnie-"

  "No Yoongi!" Jimin says looking at him now.

  "Jimin your killing yourself." Yoongi says his voice weak and defeated as he stares in Jimin's dull eyes.

  "You don't understand Yoongi." Jimin says.

  "What don't I understand?" Yoongi asks.

  "That I'm fine." Jimin says.

  "You're fine." Yoongi says.

  "Yes."

"What'd you eat for breakfast?" Yoongi asks.

Jimin sighs. "Nothing."

  "Lunch?" Yoongi asks.

  "No."

  "Dinner?"

  "No Yoongi." Jimin says. "No."

  "Why Jimin? Why?" Yoongi asks.

Jimin shakes his head covering his face with his blanket.

  "I need you Jimin. Please don't do this to me." Yoongi says placing a hand on Jimin's back.

  "I'm not going anywhere Yoongi." Jimin says his voice muffled by the blanket.

  "Yes you are. I'm losing you. Your so distant. You don't talk to me anymore." Yoongi says.

Jimi sighs as his tears start to close his throat.

  "Please listen to me Jimin." Yoongi says. "I'm begging you."

Jimin's mind is a wreck as the constant battle in his head drowns out any logical thoughts.

Jimin feels Yoongi leave his side and he sits on the couch alone.

While Jimin is fighting his battles Yoongi is fighting his own as well.

Maybe being trapped in a house with no one to talk to or express yourself with isn't exactly good for his mental state.

Yoongi sometimes spoke to Taehyung or Jungkook but the conversation would always somehow end up being about Jimin and that was honestly the last thing Yoongi wanted to talk about with his friends.

So most of the time both of them spent the entire day locked in their rooms.

Yoongi sometimes loses his appetite feeling too guilty to eat knowing that Jimin is dealing with his own illnesses.

Yoongi eats breakfast before going back into his room and shutting the door.

Jimin doesn't move from his spot on the couch and Yoongi doesn't really leave the room except to check on Jimin from time to time.

Yoongi makes dinner as he usually does and goes to tell Jimin its ready.

By now they are just words that go over Jimin's head but Yoongi always encourages him to have dinner.

  "Alright." Jimin says. "I'll eat later."

Lies.

All lies that Yoongi sees straight through.

He leaves Jimin. Again.

Jimin is cut off from reality. Again.

And they are both alone. Again.

Everything Yoongi was afraid would happen happened.

Jimin's in his own world where there's a such thing as perfect and he wanted to be it.

Jimin's phone rings and its Taehyung but he just lets it ring out like he always does.

The emptiness Jimin feels is satisfying but the emptiness inside Yoongi is drowning him.

Yoongi rejects Taehyung's call as well not wanting to be bothered.

Jimin pulls himself off the couch making his way to his room. He feels weak and he knows he should eat something soon. But what's the point.

Jimin's mind isn't like everyone else's.

You see Jimin would kill to be perfect.

Even if it meant it killing himself.
