VAMPIRE'S LAMENT | JINCENTRIC

✧☬CHAPTER 27☬✧

Jungkook entered inside the dorm only to find no one in it . The entire dorm was silent as if everyone went out somewhere . He searched everywhere in the dorm except for the rooms since he didn't want to invade their privacy .

He was confused by now that no one seems to be in their rooms . His assumption was that they left for late night dinner around 10.20 pm and Jin's mom called around 12.20 am . This means only one thing .

Jin didn't go for dinner .

At this point he was confused as to why he didn't go with others for dinner . Maybe he wasn't hungry or he didn't go considering his condition since he would get tired easily than others .
Or worse maybe they had a fight . Eventhough, Yoongi was in good terms with so it wouldn't be a fight possibly , right ?

He slowly took his steps to Jin's room praying that his mom might be wrong and misunderstood the whole situation also hoped that the elder might be with them and not in his room . He creeped hesitantly to Jin's room but yo his dismay , he found him inside his room curled under the thick dark but cold duvet , covering his boday along with his face .

Jungkook swore that he heard sniffling voice from the duvet . Out of concern , he slightly touched the back of SeokJin which he assumed is under the duvet to soothe him . He could feel the trembling body of his hyung shuffling .

Jin took his duvet and sat straight in his bed facing Jungkook . He was lucky that Jungkook didn't have to see his tear stained face and blood shot eyes due to the poorly litted room.

He doesn't know that Jungkook could recognise his tired demeanor in this darkness . Now , Jungkook was surely worried about SeokJin . He took his cold hands into his warm ones and looked straight into his eye sensing for any lie ,

" Hyung , are you ok ? Why didn't go with them ? "

" I am ok , I am just so tired and sleepy Kook-ah ", he said with his voice slightly wavering . He hoped that his tone wouldn't betray him .

" Are you sure ? Did you take your medications? It seems like you are lying . I am really worried about you hyung "

Jin was about to console him but he suddenly remembered Yoongi's words running through his head .

' Promise me that you'll stay away if you are really sick , if you are not then prove yourself that you are worthy of being called BTS '

But I can't.

Everytime I try , everyone end up finding a flaw in me .

While they praise others , I am not jealous . I just hope I would do better like them .

But I can't . I really am sick and I don't have the strong mind and strength as before . This disorder is taking a toll on my body . Maybe I should disappear from my duties.

These were the thoughts that were running in his mind . And he took a decision .

To stay away .

He took his hands from Jungkook making the latter scrunch his eyebrow . He ten looke away in another direction , not having to face Jungkook and said ,

" Get out , Kook "

" But w-why ? "

" I said get out Jungkook , stay away from me today onwards "

" This is not you hyung , did someone say some thing"

Yes , a lot . " Can you just leave me alone ? I just wanted a well deserved sleep but you had to disturb me and ruin it " , Jin didn't sound rude but rather said in his usual tone .

He couldn't raise his voice at Jungkook . He used his usual soft , deep tone at the younger . However , Jungkook reluctantly crept his way to the door though he wants to offer him a support .
He knows Jin wants a shoulder to lean on but he wanted to give the elder some space .

He won't lie that it didn't hurt when Jin pushed him away . His concern for SeokJin only grew after seeing him . He assumes that it must be because his mother called him which might overwhelmed him , addition to this his condition isn't helping considering the mental issues involved in it.

Though Dr.Yun told him that he was free from his demons in his mind , the eldest vocalist might face some mental disturbances . Jungkook thinks that it must be because of this reason that he was pushed away by him .

He decides to leave him alone with his thoughts for now that for tomorrow he will sure ask Jin about his well being . He wanted to protect his six hyungs forever as a reward for their effort in raising their maknae .

Hoseok kept his head in his hands as he listened to Yoongi who was drunk a little too much . They were still in the restaurant or more like booked a room since they know they would be hell tired after the dinner . They decided to stay at the lounge for the time being .

As for now almost everyone was knocked out by their sleep and tiredness , deep slumber engulfing them in a wave of dream and nightmare except for Yoongi and Hoseok . They were talking about SeokJin the whole night .

Yoongi told him about SeokJin from A to Z which Hoseok found it hard at first . Yoongi immediately slept after narrating the incident bidding his journey to dreamland . Hoseok replayed everything that Yoongi said in his mind .

It did make sense when he remembered the past events . Jin seeing better in dark when they got lost in a forest while filming in the Seom , him being so damn fast at ISAC , his facial features more pale yet sculpted at the same time , his obsession towards garlic , his fearless at high places , his high pitched voice which couldnot be heard sometimes , his anxiety , his pained expressions while dancing and everything.

Everything makes sense now . SeokJin is not lazy in fact , he was sick . Maybe that's why he struggled at outdoor stage .

Hoseok felt a thug at his heart when he realized why Jin did many mistakes during the choreo . It's because he can't tolerate sunlight . His inside felt burning when he realized that he had not been talking to him for this reason.

He wanted to apologise at the same time he can't able to approach him as he his still in the sorrowful phase where he lost his mixtape .

He doesn't know what exactly to do .....
