To say Jimin is anxious seems like an understatement of the sanctuary. He's flipping through his syllabus and damn does he have a hell lot to catch up on. He rubs his eyes when he feels tears well up, not at all eager to break down. He feels frustration bubble up as he reads through a document, then rereads, not understanding a single word.

He tries again and again and now he's seconds away from losing his cool, tearing the page in half, saying fuck it and bawl like a toddler. Instead he pushes himself off the chair, paces around the room, palms pressing against his eyelids, willing himself not to cry. But the more he thinks about his deadline and the days left before the storm (the exams, of course) hits.

The bubbling frustration leads to annoyance when he hears a loud cackle through his slightly ajar bedroom door. He breathes in and out, clenching and unclenching his fists. He sits back at the table, but his focus keeps shifting. He's too anxious to pay attention to the words on the document, the voices in his head distracting him each time, pulling him deeper under his ocean of sorrow.

He hears a faint laughter coming from downstairs and snaps, pulling open his door, he storms out of the room and down the stairs. He finds his boyfriends in the living room, playing some video game and laughing as they try to beat each other's asses on screen.

"Could you just fucking stay quiet!?" Jimin shouts, anger and frustration seeping in his tone.

Immediately, they go quiet, pulling off their headphones and turning around to face the older.

"Were we too loud, hyung? I'm sorry, we knew you were studying and we tried to be...less loud? Didn't realise we were disturbing you," Jungkook apologises immediately and Taehyung nods along, with a small pout.

God, they're so adorable and so understanding that Jimin wants to hug them, tell them it's not their fault but rather it's his. He is anxious and every little things seems to distract him. He wants to hold them and be held by them but instead he does the exact opposite. He's restless and just wants to take his pent up frustration out somewhere. Just wants to let it all out because he's so fucking tired and unfortunately for the two younger boyfriends, he happens to take it out on them.

"Could you both just try and fucking zip it for once? You're both so fucking loud and I can't focus on what really matters to me right now. So just zip it or fucking leave the house and leave me in peace."

It's too late. His face crumples when he's said it because he regrets it the moment the words escape him. He presses his palms against his eyes, not wanting the two to see him like this and sobs.

"I'm sorry. Fuck, I'm such a horrible person. I'm such a horrible boyfriend."

Jungkook and Taehyung exchange a look before they ditch their controllers on the floor and guide Jimin over to the couch.

"What's going on, baby?" Taehyung asks, allowing Jimin to bury his face in his chest.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so—"

"Hey, none of that. You're an amazing boyfriend to us and an amazing person, mimi," Jungkook interrupts.

"Chim, what's going on, hmm? Tell us what's bothering you," Taehyung whispers, gently running his fingers through Jimin's hair.

"I'm just...anxious. I can't focus and it's — I didn't mean anything I said... I'm sorry."

Jungkook rubs Jimin's waist soothingly, pouting at Taehyung, unhappy that his boyfriend is crying. He doesn't like seeing either of his boyfriends upset. Taehyung ruffles his hair with his free hand and gives him a small, soothing smile.

"Jiminie, it's fine baby. We know you didn't mean it."

"Just hold me, please. I'm just... I feel so—"

They don't need to be told twice. Taehyung pulls Jimin closer while Jungkook joins, wrapping himself around both of them like the baby koala he is, and nibbling on Jimin's earlobe, a weird habit he has when his boyfriends are upset. But somehow it always soothes Jimin. He sighs in content, allowing himself to soak up the comfort and warmth they provide, dousing the flame of anxious thoughts for that moment at least.
