Blood Brother Bond: BITTW Book 2

Chapter 1: Kintsugi (金継ぎ)

"Alright, everyone!" Namjoon was the only one standing now, he shoved Yoongi's shoulder to wake him up. Hood up and eyes dark, he grunted and nodded for Namjoon to continue. Jimin pouted watching Yoongi carefully. It had been a few weeks since Yoongi had confessed he had confusing feelings for Jungkook. Jimin was trying to be patient, he'd asked for time to think about his feelings. Although, he didn't seem to be sleeping well and they were just about to start their tour.

"As you know," Namjoon passed a paper out earlier, "The paper in front of you has our tour dates and locations, we are about a week away from starting the tour here in Seoul." Namjoon continued speaking, Jimin still watching Yoongi nod off again. He was told that PD Nim had sorted a new source and each batch is tested before being given to Yoongi and Jungkook. But Jimin wasn't so sure Yoongi was feeding efficiently enough. Jimin squeaked when he felt a light hand on his shoulder. 

"You alright, Jimin?" Hobi whispered to him, squeezing his shoulder lightly before letting go. Jimin, vision blurring, focused on looking at the paper on the table in front of him. He nodded as the only answer, he felt Hobi hesitate before taking the hint and leaving him be.

Jimin fiddled with the edge of his paper that covered the dates and usual protocol for upcoming tours. The dates read as stated:

-Seoul - Olympic Stadium
-LA - Rose bowl stadium
-Dallas - Cotton Bowl Stadium
-Orlando - Camping World Stadium
-New Jersey - Metlife Stadium
-Chicago - Soldier Field
-London - Wembley Stadium
-Amsterdam - Johan Cruyff Arena
-Berlin - Olympiastadion Berlin
-Paris - Paris la Défense
-Osaka - Kyocera Dome
-Saitama - Belluna Dome
-Tokyo - Tokyo Dome

The dates stretched from April to late September, some of the dates having more than one night, their highest quantity of shows being in Seoul and Osaka. Jimin sighed, looking back up to see a raccoon eyed Yoongi pull his eyes away to busy himself with his own review of the tour dates. Looking at the dates, Yoongi sighed, pulling his hood further over his eyes.

"And remember," Hobi spoke with a firmness that showed how important his words were, " That means our rehearsal schedule is going to very tight and we all have to watch our phones and make sure we are all there on time." Hobi looked around the table at the under enthusiastic nods.

As soon as the meeting broke, Yoongi had his paperwork in his bag and was already halfway to the door before anyone else. Jimin stared after him, tearing his eyes away from Yoongi only to see Joon staring after him in the exact same way. Worried and yet stuck in what to do. Jimin paused in getting up from the table when Namjoon hurried after Yoongi. Flinching and turning quick when there was a whisper at his ear.

Holding up his hands and backing up, Taehyung looked apologetic yet worried.  Jimin clutched his chest, trying to catch his breath. "Don't DO that." Taehyungs eyes softened as he let out a small chuckle. Jungkook had a pastry in his mouth and was sorting his own bag before wandering over to them. "What did you say in my ear? I wasn't all there." Jimin rubbed at his ear that was still tingling from the whisper. Hobi caught their attention before leaving, waving and exiting with Jin. Pulling the pastry from the hold his mouth had on it, Jungkook spoke first. 

"He asked if you were still on planet earth." Jimin looked back and forth from the two in front of him. Jungkook now chewing, looking at him with big eyes. Jimin ran his hands through his hair, words caught in his throat. "Look, Jimin." Jungkook spoke around the food in his mouth, "We're both worried about you and Yoongi..." At those words, tears spilled over. 

"Fuck..." Jimin spat, throwing his head back and rubbing at his eyes. "I just don't know what to do..." Jimin hadn't said why they were having a rough time, he had a feeling they already knew though. Jimin found himself in a hug between the two now, making the tears and sobs come quicker. When they pulled away, Taehyungs hand lingered on his shoulder. He looked concerned.
