Chapter: Seven

(Flashback)
JIMIN'S P.O.V
"Alright. I forgive you! I'll talk to you again and look at you. Now, if you don't mind, I have important things to do." I said, leaving immediately. I forced myself to not look at him. I hoped he would keep his promise. Sighing, I hurried to Hoseok hyung's studio.

I knocked on the door once and Hoseok opened it without hesitation. He looked at me in confusion. 
"What's wrong?" He asked letting me in, I entered and locked it behind me and sat on his small sofa.
"Jungkook and I had a talk inside the restroom." I started, making Hoseok laugh. 
"Inside the restroom?" He asked laughing, but stopped once he saw the tears building up in my eyes. 
"Do you want to get something to eat?" He asked me, patting my shoulders in comfort.
"I'm really not in the mood to eat hyung. But thanks for the offer" I replied, making him sigh. He nodded in understanding. 
"I'll just go home, Tell the others for me, please. My phone is almost dead, so I can't update them on the GC."  I stated and bade him goodbye, while heading back to our dorm.

AUTHORS P.O.V
Entering his shared room with Hoseok, Jimin threw his bag on his bed and collapsed on the sofa, feeling exhaustion creep through his body from being tired and stressed. Lately he's been over thinking, which irritates him so much, he hates it. He took his phone out from his pocket to do something, forgetting it was dead. He groaned in annoyance and stood up to charge it, then went to take a shower. Wiping his wet hair, Jimin looked at himself in the mirror with disappointment. To most, he looked beautiful and healthy. But to himself, he only saw his flaws.
"Why am I too fat?" He asked aloud, disappointed at how he thought he wasn't losing weight, even if he strictly follow his diet plan.
"Was this the reason why he doesn't like me back? Am I too fat? Too ugly?" He mumbled to himself, almost in tears.

No he wasn't fat nor ugly, he was just being harsh to himself. His negative thoughts keeps him from seeing how beautiful he was. Jimin was beautiful inside and out. Sighing, he went out of the bathroom and wore comfortable clothes, before jumping in his bed. He missed it, even though he was just away from it for 12 hours. Jimin sighed in relief before going to his dream land.

Meanwhile at their company, Jungkook was told to make a Christmas cover song with one of the members. Shamelessly, he picked Jimin. The only problem was, he was nowhere to be seen. He went to their practice room, only to see no one. He headed to Namjoon's studio, where at he saw Jin and Taehyung walking out from the restroom.
"Have you seen Jimin hyung?" He asked the two, who look at him confused. They shook their heads slowly.
"The last time I saw him, he went to the restroom, but that was like 4 hours ago." Taehyung said, earning a nod from the younger one. 
"Are you heading home?" Jungkook asked the two, even though it was obvious they were going back home, since they were carrying their things with them. 
"Yep! You coming with us?" Jin asked, making him shake his head. 
"I have to find Jimin hyung. I was told to make a cover with him." He answered, making the two nod. 
"Try calling him." Taehyung suggested. 
"I already did, but he's out of coverage area." He answered, making the Taejin confused.
"Never mind, I'll go look for him. He's probably somewhere, practicing his vocals again." He said and bade his hyungs goodbye.

Knocking on Namjoon's studio door, he heard a low "come in", so he entered. He came in with a slightly glum expression, making the leader to look at him concerned. 
"What is it?" Namjoon asked. 
"Have you seen Jimin hyung?" He asked, hoping he had the answer he was looking for. 
"Nope, I haven't left my studio for almost 6 hours. Why are you looking for him." Namjoon said, looking at the boy in curiosity. 
"I was told to make a cover with him." Jungkook replied. 
"AHH.. did you try calling him?" Namjoon asked, making the younger nod 
"yup, but he was out of coverage area. I'll go now and ask Hobi and Yoongi hyung." He answered, making Namjoon nod. Jungkook left Namjoon's studio, allowing for his hyung to go back to work. He traveled towards the other person of the '94's line. He knocked on the next studio, Hoseok's studio, but no one answered. He kept on knocking and calling for him, but still no one answered. Not giving up, he decided to just enter, only for him to be greeted by a sleeping Hoseok. He smiled, letting his hyung sleep. He knew how hard he worked to make songs for them.

Then he went to, last but not the least, Yoongi. He knocked on the door and was soon answered by the genius himself,. Yoongi let him in and they both sat facing each other in silence. Jungkook looked at his hyung, his mind traveling back to the last conversation they had.

Earlier that morning Yoongi and Jungkook bumped into each other. Upon bumping into each other, Yoongi started a very serious conversation. 
"Guk! Are you sure you feel nothing for Jimin?" The older one asked seriously, catching the younger one off guard. Yoongi spoke up, not letting his dongsaeng answer. 

"I like Jimin, and we all know he probably likes you. However, that doesn't stop me from wanting to pursue him. Since you don't like him back, then it's fine with you that I take him instead. I want to take him either way though. It wasn't really a question." The older one stated, while patting the younger one's back. Yoongi headed back to his room, leaving Jungkook shocked.

Shaking the memory off, Jungkook spoke and asked the older one if he's seen Jimin anywhere.
"Nah, I haven't seen him since after we practiced. Why?" Yoongi replied. 
"I was told to make a cover with him, so I have to discuss it with him. However, he was no where to be seen." Jungkook said, slightly frustrated, making Yoongi tilt his head in confusion. 
"Hold on!" Yoongi said and dialed Jimin's number. The dial tone spoke. 
*this number is out of coverage area please try again later.*  
"He's out of coverage area." Yoongi stated, making the younger one nod. 
"I also tried calling him earlier, but he was out of coverage area." Jungkook answered. That made Yoongi confused. 
"Are you sure you look for him everywhere? Did you try asking the staff?" Yoongi questioned.
"Yes and yes!" Jungkook answered, exasperated. 
"Go make a convo on the group chat. Let the others know he was no where to be seen and that we couldn't contact him either."
