"Are you okay? Where were you?" Jungkook asked as the nine friends sat on the floor by the coffee table. 

"I went to the cafe from last night. People kept looking at me and talking about me."

"No one did anything to you right?" Jimin questioned.

Butterfly shook her head and everyone let out a small sigh of relief.

"Butterfly, I'm sorry. This is all my fault." Jungkook looked down at his feet.

"I-it's okay. Nothing happened to me."

"But Jungkook, what about you? Aren't you going to get in trouble?" Sienna asked.

None of the boys said anything, which was enough of an answer.

Butterfly bit her bottom lip nervously. "Is there anything we can do?"

"I hate to say this," Namjoon spoke quietly. "But it'd probably be best if you two kinda took a break from each other."

Both Butterfly and Jungkook looked towards Namjoon. 

"Hyung, what do you mean?" Jungkook asked, worry clear in his voice.

"Maybe stop talking for a while. Not forever. But until this dies down."

Jungkook dropped his head back to the floor while Butterfly just looked straight ahead, flustered.

Jimin liked what Namjoon was saying. He knew the situation wasn't great, but all he could think about was how much he wanted to be there for Butterfly.

"Maybe it'd be best if all of us kinda stopped talking for a while." Hoseok added, ruining Jimin's liking of the idea.

"Well you guys should still be able to talk to Sienna. She doesn't have anything to do with this, and it'd be a punishment to take you guys away from her." Butterfly spoke up.

"No. That'd be unfair. We can all take a small break from each other." Sienna butted in.

Seokjin sighed. "Okay then. We're all going to stop talking for a while. Just until this dies down. Okay?"

Everyone agreed to the plan. Including Jimin, even though it was the last thing he wanted to do.
