TAEHYUNG SAT ON THE GROUND, NOT MOVING A SINGLE MUSCLE as he looked at the other Jin staring at him. A few moments passed by which felt like an eternity. But still, Taehyung held his breath, begging the ground to swallow him so he'd disappear.

But after a long moment, there was a sigh.

The other Jin came closer as Taehyung clenched his hands into fists. He looked back at the man wearing a big gray cardigan and a white t-shirt. His brown hair swept by the air making his dark chocolate eyes visible. 

"Honestly Kim Taehyung, you don't even recognize your Hyung?" the voice made the younger get chills in his spine as Taehyung continued staring at the older. He expected the other to yell at him or laugh in his windshield laugh but no. He didn't. 

The other just came closer and Taehyung wanted to get up and run away or just smile and act his way out.  But he couldn't. And he didn't even know why.

And then,

There was a hand.

Taehyung looked at the hand and at the man who gave him a reassuring smile.

Before he could even think of anything, his hand intertwined with the other's as he got up to his feet. The older patted the other's back before he dug his hands inside his pocket.

Seokjin sighed and stared at the horizon, which Taehyung took a picture of. "I never expected you out of all the others to be interested in things like this. The least I would expect to be interested in these things would be Jimin in my perspective." SeokJin said as Taehyung looked at the older male.

Funny how it'd be easier to act in front of the camera but hard in front of his members, his family, even though it was not the same person he debuted 6 years ago. 

"Well I guess people do change, huh?" SeokJin stated as Taehyung looked down, not knowing what to say. And then he heard a chuckle. 

"Honestly Tae, I thought you'd be goofier and a bit more hyper like the old days. You just seem quieter and mature now." Jin stated but Taehyung still didn't say anything.

He wasn't sure what to do. He was confused and scared at the same time. This was wrong. Whatever happening was wrong.

He never wanted this nor did the others. Why are they being captivated in a place like this? So alluring yet so painful. And the worst part was he didn't even know what to do in circumstances like this.

If Namjoon was here, he'd talk with his big brain talks he always does. If Yoongi was here, he'd probably over-smart the other and escape. J-hope would scream and run away. Jimin would do his sweet talks and escape. Jin would probably yell at his face as he does with the others. Jungkook? He'd throw this man into the sea.

But Taehyung? He didn't know what to do. He just felt......

so useless.

But before he could think about anything else, a hand started to wave in front of him.

"Hey! Hey Tae! Taehyung! Tae to Earth where are you?" The younger snapped out of his thoughts, breaths a bit irregular. He understood, he was having a panic attack.

But seriously, right now? The poor boy thought as the older looked at him with concern in his eyes.

"Hey......um..did I make you uncomfortable...like..you want me to talk...or..?" SeokJin asked but Taehyung didn't have the heart to answer. The real Jin would instantly go in a mama bird mood but this Jin was confused and conscious.

And Taehyung didn't want that. No! He needed one of his members.

But it was a bitter reality. And Taehyung didn't know where all of a sudden he got a panic attack out of nowhere. He felt helpless and needed a hug. And unfortunately the other Jin didn't understand any of it.

And out of nowhere, one scenario came into his vision. It was one of those random stupid thoughts which would sometime fill his vision to control his panics poorly. And whatever he saw, didn't help him at all.

It was Jimin.

In a bathtub.

Drowning.

And before anything could happen, Taehyung caught the elder's hand. "Sa-save....min. Save Jimin!" He choked out the words as SeokJin stared at the boy with wide eyes.

But before anything could happen, a voice interrupted them.

"Taehyung!"
