"Mistwer!" Jimin heard the surprised squeal of his baby brother, yet even as the toddler dashed passed him and practically climbed onto the VIP's lap, Jimin found himself locked in place.

"Hey there pup" Jungkook softened, weaving his fingers through Ji's hair yet his eyes remained glued onto Jimin's immobile frame.

Jungkook's entourage glanced back and forth between Jungkook and Jimin, as if waiting for either one to break the preceding silence. But like the motherly persona that he is, Jin got up from his seat quite dramatically, with the warmest smile gracing his plump lips.

Everyone's attention zeroed in on him as he made his way towards Jimin's lithe frame. He pulled Jimin into his arms with as much care as a mother hen would coddle her offspring.

"Aww my gorgeous lil muffin, you don't know how long I've been dying to meet you!" He crooned, holding Jimin close as he swayed their bodies from side to side.

"U-um... hi?" Jimin whispered, still a little dazed and  apprehensive.

"Oh right, you dunno who I am! Well, my name is Seokjin, but you can call me Jin! That's my husband, Namjoon, and everyone else will introduce themselves cuz I'm pretty sure they can do that, at least" Jin gave everyone at the table a look, and like clockwork, everyone stood up from their seats abruptly and began introducing themselves one by one.

Jimin tried to use that time to calm his frazzled brain as they all greeted him. He couldn't help but notice how incredibly handsome they all were.

"Good afternoon, I'm Hoseok and that's my husband Yoongi" Hoseok introduced himself politely, his tall build and sculpted physique clear to the eye, yet he had a gentleness to him "Pleasure to finally meet you Jimin, our maknae over there wouldn't stop gushing about you"

"Thank you, pleasure to meet you too... um..." Jimin's eyes flickered towards Jungkook, it was blatantly evident that the younger was overwhelmed and needed some guidance.

His eyes were practically pleading Jungkook to set his mind to ease and explain the situation. He didn't even notice that Taehyung was standing there wringing his fingers anxiously.

Everyone sensed Jimin's dazed state, and so naturally they all stepped back and returned to their respective seats. They tried not to focus their attention on Jungkook as he got up with Ji in his arms, and instead immersed themselves in their own conversations.

"Hey-

"What's going on?..." Jimin interrupted, feeling the anxiety simmer in his throat.

Jungkook leaned in closer to him "Baby, calm down..." he softened, resting a hand on the back of Jimin's neck and squeezing his tense muscles.

"I-I'm sorry... I just, I'm really confused" he let out an exasperated sigh, allowing himself to lean into Jungkook's touch

"I promise it'll all make sense, I'll explain everything to you later today. Just trust me for a while longer, please?" Jungkook pleaded.
