"why are you still up?" taehyung mumbled turning to face his roommate who was still sitting with the light on at around two am. jimin looked up from the book in his hands and faced taehyung, "i'm reading, go back to bed."

taehyung sat up with a small frown, "you should sleep to then." a small smile crept over jimins face as started to softly play with taehyung hair, "i said i would have my song written by tomorrow and this book is actually giving me inspiration to write" and the person who lent it to me, "so don't worry, now get some sleep." jimin said with a soft smile.

"are you sure? last time you were up this late..." taehyung didn't have to finished his sentence for jimin to know what he meant. "don't worry tae, i'm just ganna finish this song and then i'll sleep." taehyung shook his head and moved closer to him wrapping his arms around his friend, "i'll stay up with you."

jimin knew once he had made up his mind about something he wouldn't change it so he smiled softly and nodded opening his notebook and reading taehyung what he had so far.

after about an hour they had came up with lyrics that jimin was rather proud of. it was about half past three when the two actually ended up sleeping.

----------------------------

"i love it!" si-hyuk said happily clapping his hands together as he read over the lyrics, "i had doubts. i'll admit that but this was worth the wait." he smiled proudly as he patted jimins shoulder.

"thank you" jimin smiled widely as he stood up and bowed politely before walking out of the room and back to all the members, "he likes it!" jimin cheered running into jins open arms as namjoon came and ruffled his hair, "we're proud of you son." jimin laughed, the two elders had been acting like everyone's parents for the last two years but it had started to feel so normal for them to act like that.

"let's celebrate!" jungkook suggested with a smile, he honestly just wanted to get away from the work environment for a bit. jimin smiled and looked at taehyung, "i vote we go for milkshakes at this café that's really near by."

taehyung laughed remembering how he had recommended the place to him, he knew how jimin liked to share things that made him happy. "sounds like a good idea."

--------------------------

sun-hi shook her head at maria's words. she was sitting on the counter as her and the owner of the café spoke to each other.

"he's literally been here every day for the passed three weeks, he definitely has a thing for you." maria nagged as she swept the floor.

"he came over yesterday," sun-hi said swinging her legs playfully. maria stopped sweeping and looked at her, "he came to your apartment?"

"yep"

"you'll be lucky if he ever has feelings for you now." maria chuckled resting the broom against the wall.

"hey," sun-hi laughed shaking her head, "besides i told you what i think about relationships, they such a waste of time."

maria laughed with her giving her a small hug. as she pulled away from the hug she looked at the door and smiled, "looks like your waste of time is back, and he has friends with him."

sun-hi turned around to see jimin walking in with six other boys. they seemed to be in a good mood laughing and smiling at each other as they sat down. sun-hi smiled softly to herself and picked up seven menus, she turned around to take them to the table but jumped as she realised jimin was standing behind her, "hey" he smiled as he run a hand through his hair.

sun-hi didn't know why, maybe it was because of her and marias conversation ealier, but she blushed slightly showing him a small smile, "hey"

"i wanted to introduce you to my friends," jimin smiled taking her hand as they walked over to the table. sun-hi looked up at everyone and seemed to relax as her eyes landed on someone, "hey tae" taehyung smiled as he looked back at her, "sun-hi hey!" he said happily as they exchanged a high five.

"am i missing something here?" jimin asked as he sat and taehyung just laughed, "she's friends with jihyun and me."

sun-hi chuckled and nodded, "we met like two years ago. um anyway, can i get you guys anything? i'm guessing a strawberry milkshake?" she asked looked at jimin but he just shook his head,"i'll just have a glass water today, thanks."

"oh..." she mumbled with a questioning look, she didn't want to say anything in front of everyone though so she decided to keep it for later. sun-hi took everyones orders and went back go the kitchen.

sun-hi hadn't really been paying attention to the group of people eating, she was standing against the wall with her nose in a book. the oldest looking one went up to maria to pay for their meal and sun-hi quickly walked up to jimin, "can i talk to you for a bit? like, alone?"

"oh okay sure." jimin said and quickly went to say something to the other members as they left. he walked back to sun-hi who was sitting on the ground leaning against the chair of the piano. jimin laughed softly and sat in front of her crossing his legs.

"are you really okay?" she frowned waiting for an answer.

"of course," jimin told her showing her a bright smile, but she didn't buy it. "then why aren't you eating?"

"i had a big breakfast" jimin sighed as he answered fiddling with his fingers again.

sun-hi just looked at him and took his hand in hers, "you always play with your fingers when you're sad or nervous" jimin looked at her with his bottom lip quivering slightly sun-hi noticed this and pulled him into a tight hug.

"i guess i'm not okay" he said so quietly it was difficult to hear but his head was buried in the crook of her neck so she knew exactly what he was saying, "i try to give people hints to let then know that i'm not okay but you're the only one who's noticed."

"don't worry, i'm here for you." she said running her fingers peacefully through his hair.

"i dunno, it's not that i'm trying to be thin" he sighed and she could tell it was difficult for him to say what he wanted to, "...i just want to dissappear, that probably doesn't make sense but i dunno i guess i have this thought that if i become thin enough i'll just disappear and a huge part of me really wants that to happen."

sun-hi let go of him and looked at him, the pain in his eyes was more clear than emotion she had seen before. "it makes sense," she whispered, "but please don't dissappear..."
