All of you reached Jimin's apartment as he had texted all of you to come over to his place to celebrate.

As soon as you all opened the front door, you all were showered in congratulations, praises, hugs and pats on the back by Namjoon, J hope, Taehyung, Jungkook, Rose, Jennie and Lisa.

"YO MY BROS! CONGRATS!" Hobi hurrahed while pumping his fists in the air.

"Thank you," all of you chorused in unison. Everyone was gathered around you like a flock of seagulls would gather around a fish as all of you made your way to the living room.

"So, how was it?"Namjoon started.
"It was-" you started to explain but you were cut off mid sentence as you saw Jin plop his stuff on the couch and sort of storm his way to a guest room upstairs without saying anything to anyone. Turns out, you weren't the only one who noticed his weird behavior as the rest of the members and girls were looking in the same direction Jin took off.

"You think he is just mad at all the popcorn lying around on the floor?" Jimin asked. "It's all Jungkook's doing though," Jimin defended himself to which Jungkook gave a sharp tug on Jimin's sleeve.

"What's up with him?" Yoongi asked confused pointing in the direction Jin went.
"I have no idea," you simply stated. "But I'm going to find out what it is,"

~~~~~~~~~~~

You made your way upstairs to the guest room of which the door was slightly opened. You hesitantly pushed open the door ajar and peeked in. The room was dark with no lights on, but the balcony windows were opened letting the streetlights from outside come in and slightly irradiate the room.

With the help of the make-shift light, you could make out in the dark the silhouette of a tall, broad shouldered guy leaning melancholically against the balcony door frame. Without a doubt, you knew that it was Jin.

You shut the door silently behind you and slowly made your way towards him for the fear of startling him and letting him somehow slip through your fingers.

You made your way to stand beside him. He didn't respond at all to your presence. He was just standing just as he was doing before, staring out the balcony with a faraway expression in his glossy eyes and you felt that he is not looking at anything in particular at all. He just appeared to be lost in his own thoughts. His face didn't depict his usual confident, cheerful demeanor but what was in it's place was one of sorrow and forlorn.

Your heart ached seeing the member that had stolen your heart away in such a depressed state such as this and you yearned with your whole heart and soul to find out the mystery behind the disappearance of his laughter and joy.

Little did you know.

You took a deep breath. It's now or never.

"Jin?" you started praying silently that he wouldn't hear the newly created misery filtered in your voice.

"Hm?"he responded with a brief flick of his eyes towards you.

"Are you ok?" you softly asked.

"Mm," he mumbled.

"Was that a yes or a no?" you asked carefully examining his expressions.
He drew a deep and shaky breath and exhaled long and slowly.
"I-I don't know," he said in a raspy voice.

You decided to change your approach to get more effective answers from him.

"You were acting very weird during the cook-off. You didn't seem quite yourself," you tried to explain. "Would you like to tell me what was going on?"

Jin sighed deeply and you saw his chest puff up and flatten along.

"Why are you interested?" he asked shooting a side glance at you. "It's not like you have any time for me,"
You stared at him disbelievingly. What is he going on about? you wondered.

"What are you talking about? I always have time for you," you gently said. You gathered up your courage and after hesitating for a couple of minutes, reached your hand over and rested it gently upon his own large and warm one.

The touch was making your head cloud and was causing your heart to palpitate because you had never touched him so openly and boldly like this before. The sensation was both alarming and pleasurable. It took all of your will power to stay in focus in an attempt to be there for Jin.

You shyly looked up at him to see whether he was having a similar reaction as you were having but his face hadn't changed but you knew that he was aware of the fact that you were touching him because his hand felt strangely rigid underneath yours.

"What's bothering you? You can tell me," you urged while wrapping your fingers around his enclosed hand.
You were shocked as Jin simply dismissed your gesture and withdrew his hand from underneath yours and turned to face away from you.

"Why don't you ask Yoongi that?" he mumbled.

Your breath got caught in your throat at this sudden unexpected response.

"Wh-what? Yoongi?" you questioned confused. "Why would I need to ask Yoongi? You're clearly the one who is in a mood,"

Jin pouted and walked away from the balcony to the inside of the room. You trailed behind him, refusing to accept failure.

"Look, Jin," you sighed. "We hate seeing you like this,"
Jin suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Who's we?" he inquired sharply.

"Well...," you started. "Me, Jisoo, Yoongi and-" but you were cut off by Jin's angry yelling

"ARGHHHHH," Jin yelled furious. "You just can't go at least five seconds without mentioning Yoongi, can you?"

"WHAT THE-" you stared at him in amazement and shock. "You were the one who asked me first of all," you retorted. "And besides, why are you so mad at him? He is your member and your friend and I'm trying to figure out-,"

"Well, why don't you ask Yoongi to help you out?" Jin shouted back.

-"What do you-"

-"You clearly didn't have any trouble asking his help before. It's always Yoongi this and Yoongi that with you,"

You were absolutely speechless and shocked.

Jin imitated a mocking persona of your voice while he said, "Yoongiiiiii, can you please get this for me? Yoongiiiii please come over here and help me with this. Oh my gosh, Yoongiii, you read my mind. You're so sweet."

Realization dawned on you as you started to see from where Jin's madness is progressing.

"Dude, so that's what's going on? You're mad that I didn't ask you to help me? You were clearly busy with Jisoo! Yoongi wasn't doing any work in particular so I asked him to help me."

"Yeah, you rather do something with him than with me any day," Jin groaned followed by a roll of his eyes.

"Jin, honestly," you growled and before both of you know it, you two had launched into a huge bickering argument.
