The six of them sit together at their dining table, takeout bowls filled with moderately warm food scattered in front of them. Yoongi glances up from his untouched food, watching the others silently.
"Hyung, please eat. We ordered your favorite just for you, so please just take a few bites, okay Hyung?" Jeongguk begs Seokjin, the latter of which is staring blankly at the doorway as if he is waiting for something.
Or someone.
"I uh, just remembered that I have stuff I need to do," Taehyung whispers, standing up and leaving his half-eaten food as he retreats into his room. Namjoon eats silently, and beside him Hoseok has his food pushed away from him, his phone out as he scrolls through something. Yoongi gets up to refill his glass with water, and as he walks back to the table he can't help but notice that Hoseok is reading an article with 'How to help others overcome tough mental situations' in big bold letters at the top. Not knowing what to say, Yoongi just ignores it and sits down.
"Hyung, please just eat! Are you even listening to me?" Jeongguk pleads, his voice breaking at the end. Seokjin doesn't say anything, doesn't even open his mouth when Jeongguk presses food against his lips. "Hyung! Jin Hyung!" Jeongguk sobs loudly, trying to get the oldest's attention, but to no avail. Clearly upset and on the verge of a breakdown, Jeongguk scoots his chair back from the table and flees to his room. Namjoon quickly finishes his food, grabbing Jeongguk's and following the maknae.
"I think I should go help Tae with his work," Hoseok laughs wearily, leaving his untouched box of takeout and walking into Taehyung's room. Seokjin and Yoongi sit in silence, the ticking of a clock the only noise disturbing the peace.
"Hyung, you should eat your food. If Jimin was here he'd want you to." Yoongi speaks up, his heart twisting in disapproval at having to use their late band member as a means of getting Seokjin to eat. But just as he expected, the oldest picks up his chopsticks almost robotically and takes a bite of his food. Then another, and another before it's all gone. Yoongi sighs in relief, taking Hoseok's leftovers and placing them in the refrigerator for the latter to warm up and eat later.
