PRINCE

Jimin sat at the dinner table, slowly yet silently eating a small portion of his food.

All of the other members had previously finished their food beforehand and proceeded back to their studios to work, ultimately leaving only Hoseok and Jimin behind to eat.

Except, Hoseok had stopped eating ages ago, and was instead rather occupied in observing Jimin from the side blankly. Though, a slight trace of concern could be identified on his sharp features if you were to look close enough.

"Jimin, why aren't you eating?"

Jimin practically gagged on his saliva before glancing up swiftly, offering the stablest smile he could manage, "I am?"

Hoseok sighed. "No, Jimin. You're barel-"

"Ah, Hobi. There you are. Yoongi's calling you, says he needs some help with recording or something." The supple voice had abruptly interrupted, all whilst wandering into the kitchen and unlacing his apron.

Both heads shot in the direction of the doorway, where Seokjin stood nonchalantly, folding the apron and laying it on the counter deftly.

"Uh- okay but- hyung, I just need to talk with Jimin for a-"

"I don't think Yoongi will be too pleased with your lack of compliance. He seemed quite stressed out.."

Hoseok swallowed tensely, knowing exactly what that meant. "O-Okay- Just tell him I'll come in a moment, I just- I just need to finish speaking to-"

"Hoseok." Yoongi growled, suddenly emerging from behind Seokjin. Hoseok shot up from his seat spontaneously, his adam apple bobbing viciously upon his arrival. "H-Hyung, I-"

"I will not ask again, yeah? I need you at the studio now."

Hoseok cowered in fear and glanced at Yoongi nervously, then to Jimin, then to Jin, before silently pleading with his eyes for help.

Seokjin merely shrugged, giving a weak smile. "I'm sorry, Hope. Guess your talk has to wait."

Hoseok hunched his shoulders in defeat, finally acknowledging that there was no escaping from this situation.

Eventually addressing the elephant in the room, he turned to Jimin dejectedly - of whom had been squirming silently in his seat the entire time, attempting to ignore how he was left slightly hot and bothered due to Yoongi's firm and steady tone towards Hoseok.

"Sorry Jiminie... I-I have to cut our talk short. But, you can always talk to me, and- and- I.. I don't know, just.. be safe, okay? Just promise me you'll- you'll be fine?" Hoseok squabbled nervously, speaking at an inhumanely fast pace.

Yoongi cleared his throat, making Hoseok squeak and instantly shut his mouth.

Jimin merely gave a small smile to Hoseok, gesturing it's okay for him to go.

Yoongi left the room with Hoseok following noiselessly behind, most of the sexual tension departing as well which made it slightly easier to breathe.

Jimin and Seokjin were now the only victims held captive by the blistering silence.

"Hoseok's quite a tricky one, hm?" Seokjin chuckled softly, breaking the silence. "You looked quite troubled, so I thought I'd better get you out of that situation."

"T-Thank you." Jimin said gratefully, a small, nervous smile gracing his features.

But, it seems Seokjin already noticed his sudden hesitance. He moved closer and sighed.

"Just say it, sweetie."

"W-Will Hobi hyung be okay?" He blurted out nervously, regretting the question as soon as it left his mouth.

"I mean.." Seokjin gazed over at the younger, their eyes locking. "Yoongi did look.." he licked his suddenly dry lips, "Quite mad."

Jimin gulped, feeling his body burn up all of a sudden.

"You trust Yoongi, don't you?" Seokjin asked, causing Jimin to widen his eyes instantly. "N-No, I do! I swear, I'm just-"

"Then you'll know Yoongi would never intentionally hurt any of us, let alone Hoseok."

Jimin looked around the room nervously, "Y-Yes, I know but I just-"

"Besides, love," Seokjin placed a soft kiss on Jimin's cheek.

"Don't be fooled by Hoseok's act. He's a slut for the attention."

Before leaving the room.
