"What's wrong, babe?" Mingyu asked slowly, earning a sigh from the older male. Wonwoo knocked on the door three times, and in a second it opened immediately.

They came upon a zombie-Jihoon.

The shorter had big eye-bags and his eyes were red from the lack of sleep, he was wearing Soonyoung's hoodie which was pretty big, his hair was all messed up, his lips chapped and dry, and he didn't look like he ate for a few days.

"Hey guys.." Jihoon gave a small fake smile, letting them walk into his room by themselves as he went to sit on his lonely bed. He looked up at them with a tired expression, and Wonwoo shook his head with a frown.

"I.. I'm sorry."

"For what? Take a seat, Wonwoo-"

"-i... I'm r-really sorry."

Wonwoo swallowed down the sob in his throat and he shook his head again in sadness, his eyes tearing up and Mingyu could only sit him down on the bed beside Jihoon with a worried expression on his face.

Jihoon frowned, and slowly big fat tears started flowing down his sunken cheeks. He looked down at his lap and cried hard, not minding the fact that a younger couple there with him.

Wonwoo couldn't help but slip out a few tears when he watched the smaller, taking him into a big warm hug with shaky breaths.

Mingyu pursed his lips together, slipping his phone out of his pocket and excused himself out of the room, closing the door after him.

Then, he went to call someone who could help with the situation.

"Hello, Jimin-ah? Are you free right now?"

Soonyoung gasped for air, slowing down the speed of treadmill quickly as his legs turned wobbly. When the pace slowed down by a lot, he tried to cool down before he was interrupted by a happy squeal.

"Soonyoung hyung!!"

The male stopped the machine, and turned around to meet a jumpy and smiling Jimin, who waved happily at him. The older smiled gently, and waved back too.

Jimin went to the treadmill beside him, and started the machine with a hum, letting it start slowly. When he finally remembered what he was supposed to do, he turned to the older quickly.

"Oh! Hyung, could you watch a movie together with me at the theatre later? Jungkook said he's busy... And Taehyung... I honestly don't know?" Jimin grinned shyly, hoping that the older would agree.

Soonyoung opened his mouth to say no, but Jimin stopped him with a small sigh. "Hyung, please. Jungkook said he's busy, and it makes me feel.. Insecure, so please watch together with me."

"This is not set up by Mingyu and Wonwoo, right?"

"They did tell me to make you stop exercising for now, but I honestly am in the same position as you right now."

Soonyoung then decided to agree.

The two washed up after two hours of exercising, and they dumped their bags inside Jimin's dorm room before sneaking out of the campus to the nearest theatre around with their valuables.

They queued up for the movie "The Conjuring 2", which Jimin wasn't really excited about.

"I really hate scary movies, if you don't know."

"That's fine, I don't mind actually. We can talk through the movie!" Soonyoung smiled reassuringly, earning a small meaningful smile from the taller.

He smiled.

When they settled down on their seats with a box of popcorn and two bottle of plain water, the movie then started immediately.

Munching on the popcorn, Soonyoung's eyes were on the screen through the movie but Jimin couldn't help but squint his eyes at a familiar brown-haired head near them, who was sitting with a lady.

The movie was nearly done, but Jimin couldn't keep quiet.

"... Hyung?" The older let out a small hum, making Jimin swallow down the shaky breath that was about to come out.

"J-jungkook."

Soonyoung stopped all his actions, and looked at the younger who stared sadly at a certain man.

"Jungkook?"

"Jungkook with a lady, hyung. He's having a date, here." Jimin looked back at the older with his eyes shining with tears and he smiled sadly, earning a frown from the other.

"Hey, this is not supposed to be happening-"

"-hyung, Jungkookie is a playboy. I... This is seriously not the first time but I still can't help but feel..." Jimin gripped the arm-bar of the seat tightly, letting out a small sigh before averting his eyes towards his lap and smiled sadly.

"I feel like I'm the only one loving, hyung."

Those words hit the older a lot, and he remembered his poor Jihoon, who he had ignored for the past week. He felt really damn guilty, but right now he had to focus on the situation.

"Let's get out of here; we'll talk somewhere more comfortable."

They got out of the theatre, with Soonyoung pulling on Jimin's arm, and headed towards a nearby cafe. Getting a table, the older waited for the younger to speak up.

Jimin twiddled with his fingers and looked down at his lap, "Honestly, he thinks that I'm not aware of what he's doing behind my back. I... We've been together since we were 16 years old and he was really.. Playing with me. He took my virginity, and he still pounded other people. He teased me about my chubby cheeks, which have came back. I know him well, more than he thinks."

"Hyung, don't you feel guilty of what you're doing to Jihoon mentally right now? He's dying, he needs you physically and mentally. Have you seen how he looks like right now? I know, this isn't your fault but those devils inside your head can be controlled! Kwon Soonyoung, you have been strong and lovely! So please, do not give up. We all want the old Soonyoung back, and I know you do too."

Jimin gave a reassuring smile, earning a true meaningful smile from the other. Soonyoung ran his fingers through his hair, nodding his head. "Thank you, Jimin-ah."

"It's my pleasure, now do not spend all your time in the gym and you can ask me to go along when you want to. Go back to your dorm and apologise to your beloved one. Can you do that, hyung?"

"I.. I don't know about Jihoon-"

"-hyung."

Jimin gave him a reassuring look, "Trust me, he understands what you are going through so he'll forgive you."

"Go back into your boyfriend's arms, I'll pass your bag later. For now, let me search for Jungkook. We really need to talk."
