Taehyung, Namjoon, Yoongi and Hoseok are in the latter's flat. They are getting ready for tonight's ceremony. See, Just like the three males at Jin's house, they've been talking about their relationships and all... Taehyung is eventually questioned about his relationship with Jungkook.

"Well to be honest I am concerned... He's gotten incredibly thin lately." He awnswers with worry.

"Yeah I noticed too and I was about to tell you about that later..." Yoongi says.

"Has he even been eating ?" Hoseok asks.

"Well... Not really, the only time I see him eat, his meal consist in fruits." Taehyung explains.

"Oh wow. That's weird." Namjoon states.

"I know right. Plus he's been working out like crazy. Everytime I ask him about this, he's clearly uneasy and tries to avoid the subject." The younger in the room adds.

"Hum... I... I think I know what's happening." Yoongi mutters causing all of them to look at him.

"Have you noticed sudden changes in his behavior ?" He asks Taehyung.

"W-well yeah, he's been talking alone, wearing only black clothes, looking at himself through the mirror way too much, checking his weigh like crazy, skipping meals even when I try to force him. I don't want to get angry and end up arguing with him so I don't insist. But this is getting out of hand so tonight I am having a talk with him. I have been wondering if he isn't-"

"Anorexic."

"Wha- I was gonna say depressed but Oh well..."

"I think Yoongi is right. The symptoms make it seem more like anorexia to me." Namjoon says.

"H-how ? How didn't I notice ?" The younger says with guilt. "Oh my gosh I'm so-"

"No Taehyung. Now's not the time to cry over it. We have to do something about that asap." Hoseok cuts him off.

"You're right I am definitely talking to him tonight." Says a determined Taehyung.

"Right, keep us updated. Okay ?" Yoongi adds while arranging his necktie.

They are finally ready to go so they leave Hoseok's appartment to get into Namjoon's car.

Meanwhile...

Jungkook and his two hyungs are in Seokjin's car.

"So... Tell me what does that voice say to you ?" Jin asks softly while driving.

"That I am fat... Ugly... That I'll end up alone if I don't change all of that." The youngest answers quietly.

"You know that this voice is 100% wrong Jungkookie... Right ?"

The said one stays silent.

"What- so you actually believe this bullshit !?" Jimin gasps.

"Calm down Jiminie... Be gentle, he's struggling." Jin says while caressing Jungkook's back after stopping the car in front of a red traffic light.

"No ! I did struggle with that shit for years and years and I won't let him suffer as much as I did. So now Kookie you're gonna wake up. Get yourself together ! You are fucking beautiful inside and outside. What makes you think that this voice can tell you otherwise !?"
