It had been a few weeks since Jimin's dentist visit, the one he had gone to with Yoongi. He was happy to have the hole in his tooth fixed. Although everything had worked out well in the end, Jimin still kept claiming that 'Yoongi hyung had tortured me and forced me into the dentist chair.' Although Yoongi claimed his memory of the visit was a bit different than the story Jimin kept spewing out.

The members were proud of Jimin for facing his fear of the dentist and getting the hole fixed. They knew how hard it was for him. They knew his childhood trauma made him absolutely mortified of every dentist ever. As a reward the members had taken him out for ice cream, and he was quick to brush his teeth right after to prevent any more cavities. Jin had thanked Yoongi for 'taking one for the team' and going with Jimin. The members knew Yoongi was the only one who wouldn't have caved and told Jimin he didn't have to go after one of his screaming and crying fits.

Life was going normally for Jimin after that until he noticed some photos came out from a photoshoot they had just done and all he could focus on was his crooked front tooth. It had never bothered him before, he usually embraced it, but something about the recent photos that were posted made him hyper aware of it and it made him self conscious. He decided to look through comments to see if it was that noticable to others and to his dismay it was. He read comments about how his crooked tooth was cute, but many flooded in where people were making fun of him for it and calling him names. He had never noticed before how much hate he could get over something that didn't ever seem all that big of a deal, and over something that wasn't his fault.

He fell into a spiral of depression and found himself purposefully looking up hate comments to see what everyone was saying. He came down to the conclusion that he'd be more attractive if he had straight teeth, and that there were a lot of people claiming that they'd stan him a lot more and even like BTS better if he got his tooth fixed.

So he decided that's what he needed to do. Get his tooth fixed.

Except that means braces .

But I can do it!

But...the dentist..

But I just went to the dentist and was brave, I can do it again!!

Jimin convinced himself that he could do it. He was going to the dentist and getting braces. He walked out of his room and presented his idea to the rest of his members.

"Ahem.." Jimin cleared his throat and everyone looked at him, "Everyone... I have an announcement to make."

"Did you finally grow an inch?"Jungkook joked. The members laughed and Jimin shook his finger at his maknae.

"I want to get braces," Jimin announced. The immediate response of his members was dead silence, until one by one they all started laughing again.

"I'm being serious! I want them! I need to fix my front tooth!" Jimin pouted.

"You almost couldn't get a cavity filling and you're telling us you want to go back and get braces?!" Yoongi snarled.

"I got the filling didn't I? I was brave and did it! I can do it hyung!" Jimin shot back.

"Braces are a lot different than a filling, Jiminie," Taehyung told him, "Why would you want them anyway? I thought you liked your front teeth?"

"I changed my mind. I just want them straight for uh...medical purposes. You know I hit my tooth with my microphone a lot, I want to fix that."
