Jin - Amending

Jin leaned back in his chair and glanced around the room, his face blank. He honestly had no idea how to approach the situation. In the two days since the videos of Yoongi and Yoona had gone viral, their fandom, both Korean and international, had exploded on their social media, asking if Yoongi was okay and if he knew the girl who 'must be a really brave sasaeng' as well as praising 'the real ARMY that stepped in to defend' Yoongi.

There had already been meetings with Bang Sihyuk concerning whether or not it was alright for Yoongi and Yoona to continue interacting, now that their passionate fandom had taken to keeping an eye on Yoona. Yoongi had very quietly asked that they all be given time to sort out this mess themselves and requested that the project isn't reconsidered; the managers of artists that they wanted to collaborate with had already agreed and made arrangements. To call it off now would reflect awfully on Big Hit.

Now they were all seated in silence in the practice studio, Yoongi and Yoona as far away from each other as physically possible without being obvious in their avoidance. Hoseok was seated beside Hana, who seemed to be becoming incredibly distressed. Seong, seated between an unusually silent Taehyung and Yuri, was, in spite of the tangible tension, still scribbling into the book that she always carried around.

Jin was grateful that they hadn't called Daye or Eunji in today; the two of them didn't need to be around this sudden drama. Jin caught Namjoon's eye and they shared a long look before Namjoon understood what Jin was trying to convey.

"Alright, enough." Namjoon rose from his position on the floor, drawing everyone's attention.

"We can't just sit around here. We need to fix this and get back on track with our project. Seong-ssi and Yuri must be having a hard carrying on all the work by themselves whilst we're sat here worrying about a fight between two grown adults who can clearly deal with it themselves."

"Namjoonie's right. Let's get back to it. Jungkookie, Tae Tae, will you come and help me with the prep for the covers?" Jin also rose from his seat and gestured to the door with his head. The two maknaes quickly and soundlessly rose and paced out, grateful to have a reason to leave. As Jin made his way to the door, he turned back to look at the remaining group of people.

"Yuri-ssi, Hana-ssi, Seong-ssi, how about I take you into one of the smaller conference rooms so that you can work with tables? It must be uncomfortable having to lean over your laps for long periods of time." The young women nodded and got to their feet, Hana moving a lot slower because she seemed to be trying to make eye contact with a stubborn Yoona.

Eventually becoming frustrated when Yoona kept her eyes tracked on her jeans, Hana grabbed her friend by the shoulders and stared her dead in the eyes, surprising everyone. Jin was speechless as she remained in that position, eyes unblinking, unmerciful as she lectured Yoona with her gaze before rising and silently leaving the practice studio to walk in the direction of the offices.

"You three should come to the recording studio. Hobi and Jiminie need the space to practice." Jin said to Namjoon, Yoongi and Yoona before leaving to follow after the girls.

Jin had entered the recording studio after seeing to the girls and was relieved to see that everyone seemed to be working peacefully. Yoongi and Yoona had resumed their silence, even though they managed to continue production. Jin felt sorry for Namjoon, who obviously felt awkward having to be the middle man for Yoongi and Yoona. Eh, he'll be fine.

Turning his attention back to Taehyung and Jungkook who were organising the lists of vocal and rap covers, Jin approached them and accepted the sheets for the vocal covers that Taehyung handed him when he sat down.
