"What were you doing out there?"

Jin's breathing stilled. He wanted to pretend that he hadn't heard Yoongi's soft voice, but that was impossible.

"I know you're awake hyung."

"Mm..."

"What were you doing there?"

"Taking a walk."

"Who was that lady then?"

"My friend."

"What's her name?"

Jin sighed. "I don't know. I just met her."

There was a beat of silence, then Yoongi spoke. "Why were your socks muddy and wet?"

"My shoes fell off."

Jin was surprised when Yoongi let out a soft humourless chuckle. "You're so bad at lying hyung."

"That's-"

"Tell me the truth, hyung. What were you doing out there?"

"I told you. I was taking a walk."

"I know you weren't. I know you weren't-"

"Well, what am I supposed to do then? Bow down to your supreme deductive skills?"

Yoongi sighed. "No, I just want to know what you were doing."

"I was taking a damn walk. Stretching my legs."

"Your voice is shaking. Your ears are probably red as well. Hyung, I can look right through these lies. Just tell me. I won't tell anyone, unless it was something dangerous. Please."

"I was taking a walk."

"Were you..." Yoongi hesitated. Jin held his breath. He felt like crying. "Hyung, did you take your shoes off on purpose?"

"Huh...? Why would I do that?"

"You know that answer, don't you? You know why you took them off."

Jin sighed. "It's late, Yoongi. I don't want to waste my time talking about something stupid."

"I know it wasn't something stupid, hyung."

"I don't know what you're getting at!"

"You do know, hyung, you do know."

"Lord, just shut up!"

"Hyung, were you trying to kill yourself?"

"What? Why would I try to do that?"
