Yoongi stares at the blank surface of his desk, head in his hands. He blinks rapidly, trying to force the tears back.

Nothing he does helps.

He's failing everyone.

He's failing Jimin.

A knock on his door, seconds before it slowly creaks open. A head pokes its way through, and for a short moment Yoongi's heart leaps as his brain instantly connects this moment to the hundreds of times Jimin had come skipping into his room to spend time with him.

But no, it's just Hoseok. Clutching his pillow tightly, the younger male creeps farther into the room.

"Hey Hyung... I couldn't sleep, and I was wondering if.. you know..." Hoseok trails off, glancing to the side at Seokjin's unresponsive form before quickly looking away. Yoongi smiles tiredly, moving out of the chair at his desk and into his bed. He scoots to the far side, patting the empty space beside him. Hoseok hurries over, laying down. The two lay in silence for a while.

"Hyung," Hoseok breathes, and Yoongi can hear that he's crying. "I miss him." Yoongi's own eyes swell with tears again, and he turns towards Hoseok and wraps him in a tight, warm hug.

"Me too," Yoongi whispers. "Me too."
