Interlude: Love

1.

Yoongi is entering his studio, he wants to work the song Jimin asked him to check. The door is open. Yoongi is sure he closed it last night, he wasn't that tired. He pulls the door and sees his screen full of colours.

'Jin, I've told you not to play on my work computer. Don't you have your own playroom at home'

'Wait a second'

'What the...'

'I'm sorry miss but I am not giving up just because you are a girl'

Seokjin scores. The confetti on the screen is announcing a winner and Seokjin is clapping his tighs.

'Jin, what are you doing here?'

'I felt alone, that's all'

'Weren't you going to hang out with Namjoon?'

'I don't want to bother him, he needs space you know that'

'I know this is weird for you but, you need to find something to do aside from gaming'

'I know'

Yoongi offers a soda from his mini fridge. He sat down facing Seokjin who looks sad and lost.

'Wanna chat?'

'No. I'm okay I just need to be with someone, I hope you don't mind'

Seokjin stands up so Yoongi can take his chair and he goes to the couch, laying down and just scrolling on his phone.

The youngest in the room is closing game sites and settling his music programs, plugs his laptop and a melody plays while Jin takes some interest in it.

'Is this Jimin's? This is so good I truly like it. The album is going well'

Jin has a half-smile on his small face, Yoongi knows how hard this break has been for the oldest, even if he complains about not sleeping enough, his body aching from all day dance practice, his struggle one week before the clothes fitting but he loves being an idol, sing, dance and perform .

'Did you have fun at Hobi's party?'

'Yeah it was nice, I wish him the best in this new project, he put so much effort'

'Jungkook said you were there barely two hours, something happened?'

Jin is biting his lip, meaning he wants to tell but he will not.

'You know I am not a party guy and I didn't know anyone. I was reading a webtoon but that could be seen as rude so I thought it would be better to just go home'

Yoongi is making arrangements, the song dances in his fingers as he runs several tones with the program. Adding a wave of sound or two seconds of silence to give Jimin's voice more protagonism.

'The boys were there, you can hang out with them'

'Yeah... all of them were with their friends I don't like to insert myself like that'

Jin turns his body on the couch so his back is the only thing Yoongi can see from his seat. Yoongi would like to comfort him but, Seokjin is not that easy.  Jin is the one who comforts, always the right word, the right amount of love, the best lame joke to disregard tension after a fight, a hug that puts any broken heart together...but Jin doesn't speak about his problems, his introverted real self is hard to reach when it comes to feelings. Sometimes they succeed in making him speak about his feelings,  others they just have to be there for him.
