Jimin didn't really know why he feels like his story is being told as he was living.He felt like some old man in the future had gathered a bunch of kids at the front of his house and was telling them how Jimin lived.Well,if what he believed was remotely as true,the old man would be calling the current moment of his life as the most stupid part,personally Jimin would prefer heartbroken as a better word.

He watched himself in the giant mirror as the music looped behind him on the loudspeakers.The practice room did not have any windows but even without them,he knew the time was past 1 am.The whole of Seoul would have fallen into deep slumber already,even the late night stalls would have called it off.But Jimin was awake,tired and sweating from all over his skin.He still hadn't caught his breath from the last run.Jimin willed himself up to stand on his shaking legs,dragging himself towards his phone placed conveniently close to the speaker.He shut the music and checked his phone for any new messages.

The usuals.

Hoseok asking him to go out this weekend with him since he had not heard from Jimin for so long.Yoongi sharing pictures of Holly since Jimin used to asked whenever he went to his parents'.Namjoon had replied to a conversation they earlier had about a book he was reading and now Jimin couldn't even remember what they were talking about or which book it was.His breath slowed down as he took a sip from a bottle,a intern had left for him before she went home hours earlier.

A new voice message came through kakao.Jimin tossed the bottle to the side before pressing play,it was from Jungkook.

"Hyung,where are you?I went to your apartment and didn't see you.Eunwoo wants to see you,he wanted to apologize for last time.Hyung,are you okay? I am worried,I don't see you these days.Are you at the company,I am coming there right now"

The practice room plunged back into silence and Jimin breathed heavily,before pressing call to Jungkook's number but there was no sign of picking up.He assumed the boy would be riding his bike then.He pressed play on the audio once more.

"Hyung,where are you?"

Jimin had been here since afternoon,he had skipped his lunch with his manager and directly came to the practice room.

"I went to your apartment and didn't see you"

He wasn't planning on returning to his apartment at all.He was going to dance till he fainted and maybe sleep off in the masseuses' room upstairs if he could have enough energy to reach the elevators.

"Eunwoo wants to see you,he wanted to apologize for last time"

Eunwoo had nothing to apologize for.Infact Jimin was glad that Eunwoo opened up and confessed his feelings.Jimin,sure,was taken aback and at the the moment had fled Jungkook's house immediately but he garnered no hard feelings towards the boy.He would see him soon and let him know the same.

"Hyung,are you okay?"

Jimin's eyes burned and he had to look up to the bright flourescent lights to keep his tears from flowing.He took a shaky breath,head still tilted like that.Jimin wasn't okay,he hadn't been okay for a long time now.It hurt,it hurt so much that he could not even fall asleep if not tired out to his bones.It hurt so much that sometimes thinking about it stole his breath and left him panting.It hurt so much that Jimin considered travelling somewhere far and live off few years until he feels fixed.Jimin just felt alone,not that he didn't have anyone.He had a lot of people around him to be honest but he felt lonely,because that one person wasn't around.The door opened and in came the same person,Jimin was wondering about.

Taehyung looked annoyed,like he had been forced to come here and Jimin wanted to ask him to fck off when he power-walked over.Taehyung threw the hoodie hanging on the chair towards Jimin and said,"Get dressed"
Jimin curled his fingers around the hoodie and threw it to the side,eyes burning at Taehyung.
