Taehyung POV

With my arms still protectively wrapped around Jungkook, I continue glaring at our manager. Sure, I may have teased Jimin and Yoongi every now and then about the ship that the fans adore, but everyone knows that they were closer than any one of us are together. Even Jungkookie and I aren't nearly as close as the two of them were, even though both of them were nearly as close with Jin hyung. And Jungkook and I have been hiding our relationship for nearly a year now.

It's part of what has me so angry. Not only has Sejin been so unbelievably disrespectful to all of us with what's going on today, but the way he was glaring and looking at Yoongi hyung and Jin hyung... There's no doubts of what he thought he was going to walk in on. And the fact that he had clearly been disgusted by it infuriates me even more.

Glaring him down, I watch him glance between me and the two on Jin's bed for a couple minutes until he's finally sighing and walking out of the bedroom and back down the hall. Hobi hyung closes the door behind us, giving Yoongi and Jin a small smile before it closes completely, the four of us following Sejin down the hall and back downstairs.

When we all get back down, we almost instantly return to the spots we'd been in before Sejin had even gotten here. Though I can still see the disgruntled look on his face.

"What actually happened?" He finally questions with a sigh, running a hand over his face.

"Yoongi found Jimin locked in his bathroom last night after the concert. He... took his life last night. We were all up late because of it and the rush to the hospital. We were going to call you this morning, but I don't think any of us were up more than five or ten minutes before you came busting down our door." Hobi answers, laying a hand over Namjoon's who's hand is gently clutching his own thigh. Jungkook is curled up in my side, and I wouldn't be too surprised if the two of them have something going on behind the scenes just like Kookie and I do.

Sejin groans at this in what sounds like frustration, running a hand through his hair this time.

"This isn't what we needed right now. We already signed you boys up for more appearances and another show in a week. I just got that handled yesterday, I can't just have you boys backing out of it now." Sejin huffs.

"Hyung, with all due respect, you can fucking cancel it. Maybe Kookie's ready by then, maybe Hobi hyung and Namjoon hyung will be able to hold themselves together for it, maybe I'll be able to fake it. There's a small possibility that Jin hyung can handle it. I can promise you there's no way Yoongi will be able to keep it together for a show that quickly. And I'm certain the fans would understand. They'll be hurting just as much as the rest of us when they find out." I snap darkly, more frustrated than I am hurting right now. Though, he grows an incredulous expression on his face as he looks over at me, looking as though I've just proposed the most preposterous thing on the planet.

"You're not the boss here, Taehyung. I highly suggest you stop trying to battle me before I start bottlenecking the band on your behalf. You need to watch your damn tongue. Because if you can't be respectful to me, then there's no reason believing you could be respectful to your fans. I'm the one who's in charge of calling the shots. Not you." Sejin threatens with a glare of his own.

Jungkook whimpers in my arms at this, burying his face into my chest even more at everything happening. I can only imagine how well Yoongi hyung is handling what all happened upstairs, and he's not even handling what's happening now.

"As much as I'm sure it hurts right now for all of you, I can't just cancel the entire schedule that I've already gotten set up for the next few weeks. I can move some things around, but I think it's going to be easier for you all to manage the pain if you're kept busy so that you don't have as much time to let it be weighing on your mind. You boys have a show to perform this coming weekend along with a few different performances between this week and next week on a few shows. You've also got a couple interviews between this week and next as well. I'll let you all off for today, but I expect you all getting back to work and training tomorrow. We still have another comeback that's supposed to be happening in a month. I would hope that you don't want to disappoint your fans with that." Sejin tells us before standing, giving me another glare before walking towards the door and leaving.

We're all silent for the next couple minutes, trying to take in what he trying to do. Though, it's hard as Jungkook breaks down crying in my arms, hugging me even tighter than he had been as I look down at my broken baby.

"I don't know how the hell we're going to break it to Yoongi and Jin hyung. I agree that Jin might be able to pull it together, but I don't think there's a slim chance in hell that Yoongi's going to be ready for it." Namjoon speaks up softly with a sigh.

Though, if my heart wasn't heavy enough and hurting enough before, what we all hear next shatters my heart.

"JIMINIE, NO."
