   'Please stay with me.. please'
...
...

Sun rises. Jimin holds his head feeling heavy of the hungover. He sees a blanket on him and turns to the coffee table next to him unbelievably seeing bottles of soju. He sits upright looking around blankly.

Yoongi appears from behind with a bottle of medicine and plain water in his hands putting down on the table. He sits next to jimin,

"take this" while he looks at him.

"I'm really pathetic right now hyung" jimin shakes his head looking at his feet.

"but it's not your fault is it.." Yoongi sighs.

"I chose wrong.." jimin closes his eyes picturing last night's incident.

"Listen.. what happened may haunt you cause you hate and scared of it.." jimin then looks up to him.
"but you don't need to regret cause what you had with tae before made you happy. At least it's exactly what you wanted" yoongi raises his eyebrows.

Jimin smiles a little and takes the meds.

"You can take a day off, i already called manager nim" yoongi says before heading out.

"No i'm coming" jimin stands up and trails behind him.

What yoongi said really made jimin realise that he can stand strong on his own. He doesn't need to look back, chasing someone who wont even turn around for him. He knows love takes off masks that he fear he can't live without but tae didn't. So what he had with tae was not love. He's ready enough to face what happens next no matter what, he wants to prove that living without tae wont stop him from anything.

At their studio, the first person he sees is tae.. standing right across him going through the song lyrics they are about to rehearse. Tae stops singing and doesn't take his eyes off jimin as he walks in waiting for his turn to record. He somehow wants to kneel before jimin right at the moment but knows that it's entirely his fault. All of it..

"jimin you're next" the producer calls.

Jimin is anxious that he would spoil the song worrying he would be too immersed and starts thinking about his memory with tae. He walks up into the room and wears the headset. Yoongi from outside smiled at him while holding his thumb up cheering.

Through the whole part, jimin's voice becomes a little shaky but stabilises in a second. He take deep breaths before receiving an ok from the producer.

As he steps out, he only sees tae and no one else is there. He goes straight to the door to exit but tae pulls him out at his arms instead until they reach the restroom.

"What do you think you're doing !" Jimin shouts making tae startled.

"This isn't you babe" tae moves a step closer.

"Aren't you smart enough to tell why this isn't me anymore?! I guess it's not your fault that i've changed is it" jimin provokes him.

Tae still looks at jimin even though he has no strategy to defend himself.

"And don't call me that anymore" jimin walks out bumping yoongi at the door,

"you ok?" as yoongi grabs his arm receiving a nod.

They walk towards yoongi's genius lab and hangs out there until evening. The room is just filled with random keys of piano and loops of the same song yoongi's been working on..they have nothing to talk about. Yoongi turns to jimin on his couch who's been staring at the ceiling for so long.

"Do you wanna go home tonight?" Yoongi questions as he looks at the time.

"Yeah,.. i think i wanna clean things up" jimin means the bedsheet he's been using with tae (slash tae with jungkook), wanting to take out tae's clothes in his wardrobe, picture frames and everything related to his now-called 'ex'.

"And you're ok by yourself?" Yoongi makes sure,

looking at Jimin who gets up to leave "thanks for helping me hyung" he closes the door.

The next morning the whole group is supposed to have a meeting. Everyone is there except for jimin. They still wait for another 30 minutes but still no sign of him.. no answer from calling him, no read on their group chat, nothing.

"Let's just get started without him today" the director instructs.

Jimin's absence starts to bug yoongi, he begins to think weird and negative things that can happen to jimin. What he knows is that jimin should be at his house, that's all. As long as he's somewhere the members can find. He couldn't wait much longer listening to the director's explanation about the details of their photoshoot concept.

He looks around and sighs cause they still have an hour. Yoongi suddenly rises up grabbing his coat and heads outside in the middle of their meeting.

"Min yoongi!" the director yells at him.

The members look at each other surprised at the situation.

"Come back yoongi!" his manager follows him from behind.

He runs to jimin's house without turning back and enters the unlocked door. He goes straight upstairs and sees no sign of jimin. He wanders everywhere in the house passing by the manager,

"find jimin" he orders.

They both look for jimin high and low,

until the manager shouts "he's over here!".

Yoongi trails his voice to the kitchen and sees jimin lying on the floor with his wrist bleeding from a wide cut and it's still oozing rapidly. The manager leaves to bring the car around while yoongi tries to get jimin conscious. He stops the blood with his coat covering around it.

"Jimin ah!" he taps his face a few times but gets no respond.

The manager then comes in and they both carry jimin into the car and straight to the hospital.

Please stay with me.. please

yoongi's nervous thought hassles him as he looks at jimin whose head is on his lap.
