Namjoon, Yoongi, Hoasok, Jin, and Jimin were getting ready for practice, with only one day left before heading to Manila for their concert.

"Are you sure you can come with us for the practice? Is your nose still in pain?" Namjoon approached Jin, concern evident in his voice.

"And about the accident in IsAc, are you okay now?" Yoongi asked, echoing Namjoon's concern.

"Yeah, I'm okay. It's not that bad. That boy didn't mean to elbow me intentionally; it was just an accident. So, no worries... nothing happened to my worldwide handsome face," Jin replied, trying to lighten the mood with a giggle.

"But your nose was bleeding a lot. I was very worried," Hoasok added.

"Yeah, because it's a nose, not a stone," Jin quipped, earning a round of laughter from the boys. "Where is Jungkook?" Jin asked.

"I'll go check on him and see if he's ready," Jimin said, stepping towards Jungkook's room.
‘’Jungkook, are you Re…? What are you doing? Why the serious expression on your face?’’ Jimin asked, settling down next to Jungkook, who sat in the corner of his bed, sulkily looking at his phone.

‘’Since the day Taehyung went to his hometown, Daegu, I've been trying to call him. He didn't pick up his phone. I sent him messages, but he hasn't read them,’’ Jungkook said.

‘’Didn't I tell you not to push him too much?’’ Jimin scolded, his voice tinged with anger. ‘’I just wanted to ask him about his grandmother if she's o…’’ Jungkook trailed off as his phone buzzed. ‘’Oh, it's Taehyung,’’ he said.

‘’Open the speaker,’’ Jimin instructed, and Jungkook complied.

Jungkook: ‘’Taehyungie?’’
Taehyung: ‘’Jungkook, I'm sorry. I couldn't pick up your calls.’’
Jungkook: ‘’No problem… I just wanted to ask you about your grandmother.’’
Taehyung's voice quivered with sadness and worry about his grandmother’s health: ‘’She's not well, Jungkook. She's still in the hospital. But I promised her that I will tell her I love her in front of the cameras when we do our concert in Manila.’’
Jungkook: ‘’She'll be okay, Tae.’’
Jimin: ‘’TaeTae, don't worry. Like Kookie said, she'll be okay. Where are you now?’’
Taehyung: ‘’I'm on my way to Seoul. Maybe I'll be back at the dorm by the evening.’’
Jimin: ‘’Okay then, see you in the evening, TaeTae.’’

Jimin contemplated asking Taehyung about his brother but remembered the speaker was still on and Jungkook was beside him. He decided to end the call there.

*Taehyung’s veiw*

My grandma, in the hospital, didn't let go of my hand for a minute. I kept telling her about our concerts, our fans, the members, and funny things that happened with us. She kept smiling at me, sometimes giggling.

My dad and mom were also there. But my little brother didn't come to the hospital during the entire time I was there. On the last day, as I was heading towards the car where the manager was waiting for me to go back to Seoul, I heard someone calling out, "Yah!… Yah!"

I turned around, and there was, my little sister. A smile spread across my face, as I hadn't seen her in a long time.

"Eun?" I said, embracing her. She's so beautiful. I hugged her tight, asking, "How are you? Is everything okay with you?"

"Yes, are you going back?" she asked. I hummed in response, and she said, "Okay, I'm going to see my grandmother. Bye."

As I watched her walk away, a mixture of emotions flooded through me. I felt grateful for the chance to see my sister, but also a pang of sadness bcause she didn’t call my with -Hyung- or at least with my name. Anyway , i m happy to see her.
