Yoongi rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed.

"I wanted to see if he was okay."

"He's fine. No thanks to you." Jin crossed his arms.

Yoongi looked everywhere else but finally looked up at Jin. "Can I talk to him?"

"He's asleep. You can talk to him tomorrow." Jin told him. Jin stood in front of the door looking very much like an imperial guard. Which meant Yoongi wouldn't be able to pass him easily.

"Please. Just tell me he's okay." Yoongi pleaded. His eyes started gathering tears, surprising Jin.

Jin's arms dropped and he brought an arm around Yoongi, guiding him towards Yoongi's own room. "Just talk to him in the morning. Let him get some sleep."

Yoongi let Jin lead him away and waited til he heard Jin enter his own room. He sneaked out quietly and entered Jimin's room. He stared at the boy sleeping peacefully and approached him quietly.

He crouched next to the bed and placed a soft hand on Jimin's face. He felt the tear tracks and it made his heart jump. He never meant to hurt him. He just wanted to cherish him. Love him.

He placed a kiss on his lips, trying to not wake the sleeping beauty.

He stood up and took off his clothes, leaving his boxers and slid into the bed behind him. He covered them both and wrapped an arm around Jimin's waist, holding him close.

He breathed in Jimin's scent and nuzzled the back of his neck.

"I never meant to make you sad, Jiminnie. You mean so much to me. I'm sorry." Yoongi whispered against Jimin's back, hugging him closer, before relaxing into sleep.

"I love you. I wish you loved me back."

Hosoek tossed and turned in his borrowed bed. He didn't want to disturb Jimin so he decided to sleep in Jungkook and Taehyung's room.

He couldn't believe Yoongi had been using Jimin for sex. Sweet, pure Jimin was being used as a toy for Yoongi's sick pleasure.

They all thought they'd been dating. Never would he have thought that this is what was happening. And it tore him up.

He'd kept his feelings for Jimin hidden because he thought Yoongi was taking care of Jimin. Cherishing him. Loving him. Oh how he was wrong.

He never should have kept his feelings to himself. He was about to give them up when things came to a head tonight at dinner. He would make a stand for Jimin tomorrow.

Jimin's presence brought light to Hosoek and his laughter brought joy. One look from Jimin and Hosoek would give Jimin the world. Ever since he saw Jimin dance he knew his heart belonged to the boy.

And when he saw Yoongi kiss Jimin days after he thought he was too late. Too late to confess. Too late to give Jimin his heart.

Thinking back, he should have seen it. Jimin's laughs had been getting fewer and less joyful as time went on. He'd seem down, but then perk right up. They'd all taken that to be some of the reactions to what the fans were saying.

But Jimin always bounced back. He'd never seemed this down. Jimin was the joy of the group and he was fading away and no one seemed to notice. He didn't notice.

Hosoek turned again in his bed, finally getting comfortable. Tomorrow he'll confess to Jimin.

It'll all change tomorrow. No more games.
