Yes, I am a swiftie. 😎

....

Jimin was overwhelmed. He rushed out of the room when Yoongi caught up to him. The elder tried to help him but both of them knew that Yoongi wasn't great at this. He awkwardly hugged him and left him at the top of the staircase.

He continued to wander aimlessly in the mansion, before he heard light music play. He walked in the direction of the noise to find a messy room with no one in it. He saw the bathroom door ajar and remembered he actually had to use one.

He quickly looked around and walked into the washroom and closed it behind him. A full-length mirror reflected his slumped body. Jimin's eyes were puffy and red. He turned the tap and splashed water on his face.

Every time he closed his eyes, he could see Oli Burton's face inches away from his. If it wasn't for Tae, he would've probably taken the same path as Jin. He huffed out loud and tried to calm himself. He promised Tae that he wouldn't let Oli's words get to him, and he really tried but some days it was hard to get by. He began to eat better now, much better than last year. It made Tae happy. It made him happy.

He finally managed to smile. He turned on the tap again and as he splashed some more water on his face, the washroom door barged open and someone grabbed him by the waist.

Even before Jimin could comprehend what happened, the hands loosened their grip. He wiped the water off his face with his sleeve and stared at the person behind him, whose doe eyes were wide in surprise.

Jeon Jungkook.

"I-I'm sorry. I thought som-someone – ", he stammered.

Jimin sighed in relief, "No, I am sorry. I shouldn't have just walked in."

Jungkook slightly nodded as he stared at the guy between his arms in the mirror. His eyes looked like he was crying, and his cheeks were flushed pink.

"Are you okay?", he asked as he let go of the elder one.

Jimin turned around to look at him, "Yeah, thank you."

Jungkook wasn't in his baggy clothes today. He was wearing a slick white tee, and khaki shorts. Jimin failed at hiding his surprise looking at the boy's built.

Jungkook ignored his reaction. "But you cried?", he asked bluntly.

Jimin was now surprised at his candor. There was no trace of a child in the boy's face. He nodded in response.

"Is it because of that Burton guy?", Jungkook pressed on. His tone made Jimin take a step back.

"N-no. Indirectly, yes.", Jimin laughed it off.

Jungkook didn't seem satisfied with the answer but he nodded.

"You should probably wear less of those baggy clothes and more of these." Jimin smirked as he walked out, leaving a flustered Jungkook behind.

Damn, that boy gives out the good and bad boy vibes simultaneously, Jimin thought as he went back to Rose's room.

...

Yoongi was curled on the couch.

Tae was sleeping with his head on Jin's shoulder, who was leaning comfortably on the bed's headboard. He smiled when he noticed Tae's hand wrapped around Jin's fingers.

How long was I away? Jimin wondered when he looked at the three fast asleep before he himself dozed away in an arm chair.
