Yoongi: You have to know, JK and Jin never REALLY fight. As in fight.

Jimin: Yeah, yeah. We would see them bickering and  punching and pushing each other around. But they never fight. We would often see Jin leaving JK's room.

Yoongi: Yeah. And I would see Jk sneaking in our room and lie on Jin's bed.

Jimin: They are close. They would talk about things. They hang out often. Jin always cook for JK and they would always have dinner together.

Yoongi: Yeah. Most of us just eat at our own pace and would just see one member eating and join him. But Jin and JK always eat together. Don't get us wrong. We're all close. But even in the group of 7, there are certain people that you are particularly closer with.

We looked at each other on saying this.

Jimin: It's something off camera. In the case of Jin and JK, they were close because they were together since we started. They joined the same time. They were the oldest and the youngest.

Yoongi: So when JK shouted at Jin, I think he himself was also surprised. And we were quiet because it was very unusual.

Jimin: The last hour we were together was 1am and it's already 1pm. A lot could have happened by then. We couldn't contact him. His parents are in Busan and they don't know anything either. All cars are complete which means he must have gotten a cab or walked. We don't know.

Yoongi: we still went on to practice. By 7pm we were done. And we were gathered in the living room.

JIMIN NARRATIVE

Our manager still hasn't found JK. And he still hasn't called or anything. It was 7pm and everyone was tired already. I was sitting with Suga-hyung on the living room couch.

Yoongi: Ahh I just want to work, Jimin.

He said as he stretched and leaned his head on my shoulder.

Jimin: Then work. Your laptop's with you.
Yoongi: I want to work on my own space.
Jin: No, let's just stay here together.

Jin-hyung was beside us using his phone. He's been normal. Which is... not normal. Jin and Jk never fought and for the first time JK shouted at Jin. He shouldn't be normal. But Jin-hyung being normal at times like this is not normal.

Personally, I feel like he's going to explode anytime with all this feelings he's keeping inside.

Jimin: JK's going to be fine. He's strong. And he's grown up.

I held Suga-hyung's hand and smiled at him.

Yoongi: I hope so. At least we're—-

V: THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!

Someone shouted from the kitchen and the three of us stood up immediately. Hope also came down from his room. We ran to the kitchen and saw V and Namjoon facing each other.

Yoongi: What's happening?
V: This is all your fault. Everything. You're the one putting pressure on him.
Namjoon: Just so you know, V. I wasn't doing any pressure. It was really his job to finish the album and we're giving him help already and he was rejecting it. I was just thinking for the concert.
V: But you're still pressuring him! You already know that everyone is exhausted. Especially JK. But you still went on and pressured him. If I know, you're making him this miserable because you're scared of getting overpowered—

By this, Namjoon pushed V to the ground. We all immediatey went for them. Hope was pulling Namjoon. I assisted V on the ground. And Suga was in the middle.

Yoongi: Stop! What are you guys doing?!
Jimin: Calm down, V!
Namjoon: You have a bad mouth! What? Because you're more famous than us, is that why?? You're looking down on us now??
V: I'm sure THAT'S why you're pressure him. You don't want him to step up so you're burning him out. Because you know you're not a good leader to us—
Jin: V, stop!

Everyone was quiet. Jin-hyung shouted at us. And we looked at him in front of us. His was blank and you know he's angry.

Then he approached us fast. He grabbed V then grabbed Namjoon and pulled them together in the living room and threw both of them on the couch. We all followed. Jin looked at us.

Jin: Sit down!

We all followed.

Jin: Listen. V, stop speaking to Namjoon or to any of us that way. Yes, we know you have more followers and the subunit you and JK are building are getting a lot of fans. But we are still older than you. We all worked hard together and Namjoon did work hard for this group to not be torn apart. You do not speak like that to Namjoon or to anyone older than you!
And Namjoon, I agree with V. Stop putting pressure on JK. I know you want this for the best of everyone but he's young. We have stuggles of our own and sometimes we don't tell that to people. So please, calm down on all the pressure and be more emphatic to us especially to JK!

We were all quiet. V was crying. And everyone was looking down.

Jin's phone received a notification.

Jin: You guys stay here in the sofa. Do not move. Do not even get water or your phone. Suga, you tell me if anyone gets off.

Jin ran to his room. We followed him with our eyes. He went back down with a pair of keys, wearing a cap, a mask, and a big jacket.

Yoongi: Where are you going?
Jin: I'm going to find JK.
Yoongi: What?? Where??
Jin: You guys stay here. I dont want to look for another person. You will not like what I will do if you disobey me.

Jin left.
