UNEDITED

The dinner was, least to say, enjoyed by everyone. No one dared mention about the ruckus in the kitchen a while ago except for Yoongi who kept complaining, saying he has a strong feeling that they were bad mouthing him a while ago.

"For the last time Yoongi, no one was talking about you. Stop the fuss" Jin's voice skyrocketed, making every person in the table shut their mouth- including Yoongi.

"Uhm, Namjoon hyung?" Jimin called at the older who was seated beside him with a small voice "can I ask where the bathroom is?" as much as Jimin wanted to shut up and just stay there seated, his bladder doesn't seem to allow him.

"From the kitchen door, turn left. You should see the bathroom door from there" Namjoon instructed with a smile. A hint of loneliness visible on the beautiful stretch of his face.

Before, Jimin knew every nook and cranny of their house like the back of his hand. He always visited them. Sometimes, he would ask to stay inside Namjoon's library to read books. Most of the time, he would be with Taehyung doing all sorts of things. Having Jimin ask him direction of his house was heart wrenching.

Jimin excused himself from everyone. Jin was kinda worried thinking his brother didn't like what he prepared for dinner but Namjoon explained that Jimin just went to pee.

Meanwhile, Jimin followed Namjoon's instruction. When he passed by the kitchen door, he turned left. He walked by the marble-tiled hallway. Jimin took in the beauty of the paintings that were hanging on the wall. The simple yet enchanting design of the chandelier up above him got him mesmerized. He was so caught up with everything that he almost forgot the reason why he excused himself.

"This must be their CR" he mumbled as he opened the first door he saw. Darkness filled the room . The only thing lighting up the room was  the light from the chandelier, but it wasn't enough to light the whole room so he searched for the switch.

"Thank god" he sighed, shutting his eyes for a while to adjust from the blinding light of the room.

When Jimin opened his eyes, he was greeted by an aesthetic view. It wasn't a bathroom. The room that he was in was filled with pictures and musical instruments. The boy took careful steps towards the framed pictures standing on a vintage looking table. There, stood a picture of six men. He was there. Tae too, and Yoongi, and Hoseok, and Namjoon, and- Jungkook hugging him from behind. Everyone looked so happy.

Jimin noticed a tall cabinet divider on the corner of the room. Out of curiosity, he went to see what was in there.

Pictures.

There were pictures of them. Lots of it.

"Jimin hyung?" a familiar voice called him. He felt like a deer caught on headlights when he saw Jungkook standing by the door.

"I swear, I didn't know. I thought this was the bathroom" he explained in haste. Jungkook walked towards him. Jimin's heart thumped even more harder than before. The thought of Jungkook, or Namjoon, or Taehyung getting mad at him for being nosy scared the hell out of him. He was just working out his relationship with them. He didn't want to break their trust for the second time around. He.. he might not say this aloud, but he wanted to belong with them. It just felt right.

"I thought you went to pee?" Jungkook asked softly, reaching out for the smaller's head to sniff the fragrance from his hair. Jimin's erratic heartbeat calmed at the soft gesture.
