  That was only yesterday, but with the grief piled onto the shoulders of Bangtan, it felt like years.

They didn't have school that day. They had nothing to take their minds off of what had happened.

Yoongi locked himself in his room, just playing with a lighter. The only sounds heard from him was the blaring of music and the occasional thump of a fist hitting a wall.

Jimin was in one of the bathrooms, and the only sound the others could hear was the water running, and his occasional sobs.

Namjoon worked a part-time job before all of this, so that's where they all thought he was, but they also knew he was smoking. Jin's death had affected him worse than any of them.

Taehyung had gone wandering. None of them knew where he was, and it worried them.

Hoseok was in another of the bathrooms. No one could hear anything from there.

Jungkook had also left.

_____ was walking along the old abandoned railroad tracks, her earbuds in and the music at full blast. Yet, even that noise wasn't enough to block out the thoughts of Jin.

_____ laughed as Jin stood up. "P-A-S-T-A, pasta! P-I-Z-Z-A, pizza! Wow!" She grinned, "Jin, sit down, you're going to get us kicked out again." Jin smiled and sat down again, "It's not my fault they can't handle my handsome face." Namjoon rolled his eyes and gestured to his own face, "The only reason we haven't been kicked out yet is because of my face." As he said that, the waitress walked over, "You need to pay and leave, now."

_____ shook her head and closed her eyes momentarily.

Don't think about it.

She held her arms out and continued walking along the tracks. She felt strange being there again.

Before, Jin would tell her that it's dangerous and that she shouldn't walk there anymore.

_____ mentally slapped herself.

Stop it! I don't want to think about him!

She closed her eyes and slowly sank to her knees.

If I keep thinking about it, it'll make it seem so much more real.

_____ drew in a shaky breath and the words to the song they all sang together poured from her lips

" I miss you
When I say that, I miss you more
I'm looking at your photo
But I still miss you
Time is so cruel
I hate us
Now it's hard to even to see each other's faces. "

Namjoon looked at the customer, before closing the little opening on the car.

They tossed a few bills -- definitely not enough to cover how much gas they bought -- out the window and sped off.

He looked down at the money and dropped his cigarette on them, before throwing his hands up and walking off.

Maybe it's my fault.

"
I want to get to the other side
Holding your hand
I want to put an end to this winter

Friend."

Yoongi moved his head side to side, flicking the lighter on and off.

He stared at the large mirror across from him, no emotions showing on his face.
