    In all honesty, Jin was almost convinced he would have to take a Xanax.

    After Yoongi's sudden rush out of the apartment, the remaining members were a bit startled. The slam of the door was loud enough for everyone in the apartment to hear, and paired with the fact that Yoongi had holed himself in his office for nearly the whole day and all of dinner, they began to get worried. They didn't say anything out loud, but there was a silent understanding that the others were speculating and wondering what was wrong. A few times, Jin caught the others sending texts to Yoongi, and Jin had done so himself, but there wasn't any real cause for saying anything out loud as it wasn't completely out of character for Yoongi to do something like that, especially when he's stressed. During fights, he was the first one to leave the room. But now, a half an hour after the rapper left, Jin was beginning to really get worried.

    Yoongi wasn't the only thing worrying him either. Jungkook had texted Namjoon that he was on his way back right before Yoongi left, but he hadn't arrived home yet, nor had he sent any explanation as to why. As time went on, Jin was beginning to think that there was a connection between the two events, but he was afraid to delve further into the thought.

    Almost exactly at the half an hour mark, him and the other members were all gathered into the living room as per Namjoon's suggestion to try to figure out what to do about the current situation. He didn't doubt the fact that the leader had been keeping track of the time, and although he knew it shouldn't, the rapper's obvious anxiety added to his own.

    "Guys, we might be overreacting," Hoseok said from his position in the farthest corner of the couch, his optimism slightly strained. "Yoongi probably lost something like he normally does, and you all know how slow Jungkook is when he's doing his own thing."

    "But it's been half an hour," Jimin countered, pausing his pacing on the carpet to look at the dancer. "We don't know what's going on with Yoongi but it really shouldn't be taking Jungkook this long."

    "I do think we should be a little worried Hobi," Namjoon stated, turning his head as Hoseok shifted forward slightly. "They've never done something like this out of the blue before."

    The dancer bit his lip, nodding a little as his shoulders hunched. "I know, I just--I don't know."

    Jin's eyes shone with understanding as he watched the confliction dance across Hoseok's face. He understood--he really did. None of them really wanted to admit that something was wrong. The team had only just gone back to normal after their fights and contemplation disbanding, and the fact that something was being thrown at them so soon was exasperating. They all just wanted everyone to be happy after so long with such negativity, and it was frustrating to have that thrown away as soon as they got it back.

    "Don't worry, we get it," Jin said softly, sitting next to the dancer and looking him in the eyes. "But we do have to figure this out. I don't really want to risk waiting much longer."

    "Yeah," Namjoon nodded. "We just need to talk so we can work through what we're going to do. We all want both of them back just as much as the next."

    Leaning into Jin's touch slightly, Hoseok nodded, whispering softly, "Yeah."

    "So...what do we do?" Taehyung piped up from his spot on the couch, doe eyes staring intently at them.

    Namjoon paused for a few moments, pondering his response before answering, "I think a few of us should go out and look for them. They couldn't be that far." Jin furrowed his eyebrows at this, looking up at the leader.

    "But isn't that a little risky?" Jin countered softly. "What if something else happened to the rest of us?"

    "Something else?" Jimin's trembling voice uttered softly, looking at Jin with fearful eyes. "So something did happen to them?" Jin's eyes widened at this, and he tensed, anxiety leaping into his throat, causing his breath to hitch.
