V has been sweating buckets as he stood beside Jin, Heasung's oldest brother, the poor lifeless fish in his skilled hands. Jin threw the body of into the pot of stew and V could only watch as it's mangled body sink into the bottom of the searing, boiling water. Jin looked happy, humming a tune while stirring the stew. The scared boy was barely controlling his emotions when a choked sob sounded. He couldn't watch another minute of this. He just couldn't stand there as his friend suffered in Jin's hands.

"You are the worst!" V startled Jin when he suddenly yelled and ran out of the kitchen without any reason

"You are the worst!" V startled Jin when he suddenly yelled and ran out of the kitchen without any reason.

Jimin bumped into V in the hallway, seeing him crying and bawling his eyes out. Jin and Jimin watched as V entered Haesung's room, then they looked at each other. "What happened to him?"

Jin shrugged his shoulders innocently, "Don't ask me because I have no clue either. He just stormed out on me."

"You did something bad to him. He wouldn't be that upset if you didn't do anything." Jimin shook his head in disappointment. "You fucked him up, hyung."

"Haesung!" V rushed into my room and held onto the sleeve of my pajamas while I was doing my homework. "Jin hyung was so mean. He killed my friend!"

"What're you talking about?" I pryed his hands from tightly grasping my clothes. I got him a tissue when I saw how ridiculously big his tears were. His eyes were filled with it and I kinda pitied him until I saw one roll down his cheeks and drop on the floor. His tear made a sound as it hit the floor, a dull thud. I didn't know that tears could make a sound like that so I looked down and found a diamond as big as a pea next to my feet.

"Jin hyung killed my fish friend. He was smiling and whistling after he cooked my friend. He's so mean, Haesung!" V babbled but I was busy gawking at his tears as it fell as diamonds on the floor. "I hate him!"

"V!" I grabbed his shoulders and he stopped sobbing. He looked into my eyes, his lips still quivering. I showed him a diamond that I picked up from the floor, "Do you know what this is?"

"Y-Yeah. It's my tears. Why?" V replied in a matter of factly manner. He looked at me weirdly, "Haven't you seen tears before? Humans cry all the time. I saw a lot of them crying in dramas."

"No, V. This isn't a normal thing. This doesn't happen to humans." I told him, making V furrow his brows in confusion.

"Humans don't cry?" V asked, forgetting what had happened to his friend in the kitchen. "Then what do you do when you're sad?"

"No, I mean, humans don't cry and make freaking diamonds." I said with such emphasis as I gathered V's diamond tears that scattered before us. "This does not happen when we cry."
