There are times, when anxiety gets the best of people. Even the strongest, wisest, and most beautiful people need something(or someone) to just hold onto. For Yoongi, a simple touch is the best comfort he could get; the easiest too.

Working with music was something but facing some of your biggest fears does not sound pleasing for it can truly break or make you and Yoongi was not alone in that journey. He had six boys that were always at reach and never turned their backs from him.

When he felt like breaking the moment he had to face a crowd and a spotlight directly on him, they were his biggest cheerleaders. When a tight feeling keeps bugging in him during interviews, they would know at once and never looks pass it. They'd let him have a touch. An assurance that they are real, that he isn't alone.

And recently, a lot has been happening.

They just dropped the music video of Mic Drop and he couldn't be happier to let his fans see the results of his hard work. But, that weird unsettling feeling never leaves.

His back was arched forward, his head burried in his hands. His elbows were sore from staying in that position. Yoongi thought he would get better but that's when he gets worse. "Hyung?"

And suddenly, all of his thoughts were wiped out. A beautiful scent entered his nostrils; was a calming splash of water over his sweaty face that had been covered. All the thoughts he had were abruptly replaced by Jimin.

"Why didn't you come for dinner?"

The omega came close and his blueberry scent masked away all of Yoongi's stress. "I was just finishing something." He lied. He had already submitted the song a few hours ago, before the scheduled dinner. "But this is the first time you skipped a meal for the celebration of our comeback? I know you hyung."

Yoongi kinda despised that moment, that he is the alpha but he was less composed and collected. Not that he thinks the omega isn't, but it's just his instincts, and he honestly hates him for that too. "Okay, I am just worried."

"About what?" Jimin asked while sitting down on the sofa behind Yoongi's chair that was facing him now. "I don't understand you hyung. There's nothing you should worry about. The song and the lyrics were amazing. You performance was fantastic." The boy wasn't lying. "You are just saying stuff to comfort me."

"But I'm not!"

Yoongi smiled and his slightly swollen gums were showing. Ah, to be an alpha. They were definitely more pink than usual.

"You should eat! I brought you your portion." Jimin enthusiastically said, lighting up the dark room instantly.

"You always do that for everyone."

"Well you did say you can't imagine one gram of me leaving this world. So I figured that it's only right to be fair."

Yoongi grabbed the plastic bag with layers of containers of overflowing food. "You sure this is my portion? This looks like Jin's."

Jimin laughed. "He's on a diet hyung! I'm telling him when we get home!" Yoongi already didn't like the thought of Jin scolding him so he begged. "Please don't. I promise I'll finish all of this."

"Alright hyung! I'm gonna listen to some of your tracks for a while."

"Are you sure, I mean you could leave if you want."

"Scared you can't fulfill your promise?"

"Of course not."

"Then please go ahead. I'll definitely keep myself busy."

It's one of those nights. When the omega would stay with his scent lingering on all of the Genius Lab's wall. Yoongi noticed with his enhanced smelling that Jimin's scent was specially strong whenever he is in the studio. Whether it's real or not, Yoongi was thankful because it's like a stress reliever.

Hoseok and Namjoon came to his studio's door one time so they could produce this rap song together. And, Yoongi wasn't being smart when he let them in without thinking the familiar scent of an omega. "That smells like...Jimin!? Why is his scent all over-"

The alpha remembered groaning but somehow letting out a shout or a very violent remark. "Can we just proceed?"

Maybe he got a little riled up because now Jimin's scent will be all over the two. And, on that same night, Jin scolded Hoseok and Namjoon. He could be a little possessive.

"Ah, Jimin-ah. I'm almost finished here. I can't believe I'm eating this much," he said trying to break the silence. "Jimin?" The boy was still on a trance while staring at the screen. "Jimin-ssi?"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"Tell what?"

"Why didn't you tell us you were in a car accident?"

"Where did you find that?"

"Well it clearly says here on the most recent email from your doctor that your shoulder isn't getting better...after a month?! Yoongi how could you lie about this?"

He stopped eating and felt guilty for hiding such a thing to his members. "Look, I didn't want to burden you. And the other boys."

"But still!"

~♡~

Yoongi sighed as the six boys waited for his explanation. "Hyung. You know you could always tell us your problems right?" He sighed once again and nodded. "It's just...it happened before our comeback and... I told Pd-nim about it but I'm the one who insisted to...to keep it hidden. So it's all my fault. But I'll get treatment as soon as possible."

He kept his head down and kept his gaze on the cup of water on his lap. "But why didn't you even tell you were in pain?" Taehyung asked. "During all those practices. It must have hurt..."

Everyone started discussing how they can help Yoongi before contacting the management.

"Goodnight," all of them said but Yoongi stayed on the couch while rethinking his decisions. "Yoongi hyung?" And once again, all the worry on him felt light. "Yes, Jimin-ah?"

The omega hugged him. For the first time, the alpha didn't feel bad about being vulnerable in the omega's arms. "Wanna watch the stars again?" And they did.

While in the balcony, they watched the stars and the alpha felt peace. Jimin's ways never not work on him or when Jimin would let out more scent, as if reading his Yooni's mind.

And he finally realized.

That maybe.

Just maybe.

This is what it feels like...

To find your mate.
