SEOKJIN POV

Being presentable and best at any given situation is a part of being an idol. You being you will end at the moment when you step outside of the house. " You are being watched" is the thing I used to tell myself when I lose control. As I stood backstage, preparing to step onto the stage for my performance at the music bank,Suddenly, amidst the chatter and buzz of the backstage chaos, a hushed whisper reached my ears, with hoseok shoving the phone to me.

"Your mom hyung. She says emergency. She wouldn't tell me" Hoseok said

"Eomma, what's wrong ? I'm about to perform on stage in a few minutes"

"I know, baby. I'm sorry I didn't want to call you but I couldn't handle it alone" His mom said sobbing.

"Eomma, What happened? Are you hurt? Please tell me"

"Jjangu, is no more. He struggled to breathe a little from the morning. So I took him to the vet. He passed during the treatment" she said as she started crying.

"I'm sorry Seokjinah" she said

I handed the phone to Hoseok without saying anything as the countdown started on my ear piece.

5 ... 4...3...2..1. Ladies and Gentlemen JIN on Stage!!

I entered the stage and closed my eyes, took a deep breath and performed the song as I should. The audience were cheering aloud. I bowed and left the stage with stylists, bodyguards and Hoseok following me, uttering words of praise and appreciation about the performance.

"Hoseok I want to go home"

"Sure hyung. You can get changed and fresh up. I will take you" hoseok said

"I want to leave now. I don't want any cameras following me today" I said sternly

"Ok hyung let's go," he said and guided me to the parking lot.

As we got into the car, I asked hoseok to drop me at the company instead of my home. He did as I asked to. I didn't have the courage to face the situation today. My mind was going blank and with the deep ache that settled on my stomach.Tears were threatening to spill from my eyes as I ran to the recording studio and shut the door. I sank into the couch bringing my legs up and the dam broke.

AUTHOR POV

Seokjin couldn't control the amount of emotions he is feeling right now. So let himself dwell into the sadness. Yoongi's Genius Lab recording studio has always been Seokjin's safe space. Yoongi has always been Seokjin's best friend and ex eternal roommate.
The studio was empty today. Seokjin knows Yoongi and Taehyung came to see his performance. They are still at the music bank to watch Jimin perform.

But the place with or without Yoongi oddly used to give him comfort. So whenever he was restless Seokjin always came up here to watch Yoongi producing music, giving him comments or just sitting in silence. Today his heart is consumed with overwhelming sadness and memories of his pet. So the comfort he used to get here isn't benefiting anymore.

Suddenly there was a sound of keypad lock pressing. So Seokjin composed himself and sat up straight.

"Yeah yeah I got it. It's open. Should I just keep it over the table?" Jungkook entered the room with phone pressed to ears carrying two packages.As he switched on the lights of the studio,
