[A/N: before starting this chapter, I just want to clarify that Yoongi does not have an eating disorder. He simply lost appetite due to stress, it wasn't intentional:) that being said, please remember all of you are beautiful just the way you are💖]

"Jiminie?" Hoseok's nervous and quiet tone startled Jimin, who quickly looked up from his phone and at the boy standing in front of him.

Dance class had just ended, so the two were finishing packing up all their belongings and getting ready to go home. However, Hoseok strategically waited for all the other students to leave before pulling Jimin aside to talk about something that's been bothering him all day.

After hours and hours of debating with himself, he realized that Yoongi's safety and well being was much more important than gaining his trust. Even if it hurt and pained Hoseok to do so, he knew Jimin would be able to help.

Humming in response, Jimin's hands swiftly zipped up his dance bag before changing out of the uniform sneakers the class used for their hip hop segment.

Before answering truthfully, Hoseok contemplated once more with himself if this was the right idea.

Don't be selfish, it's for Yoongi's safety, he told himself.

Finally making up his mind after a pause, he hesitantly replied, "Okay, I'm not trying to be nosy or anything, but something's been bothering me. It's about Yoongi."

Catching his attention abruptly, Jimin stood up and gently placed a hand on Hoseok's shoulder, "What happened?"

The smooth and soft caramel-like voice instantly soothed Hoseok, and relaxed the boy's nervous shaking by a little bit.

"I don't wanna assume anything, but at lunch today Yoongi didn't have any food with him. And when I offered him an apple he refused before I basically forced him to take it. I was just wondering if he's alright."

Tears threatened to prick Hoseok's eyes, but the male forcibly blinked them back as he didn't want to act like the victim in this situation.

Plus, if they were discussing Yoongi's health and safety, it would be unfair for Jimin to pity Hoseok or spend the whole time comforting him. And that's the last thing Hoseok wanted, his top priority at the moment was to make sure Yoongi was okay.

It was hard to tell what the boy before him was feeling. With quirked eyebrows, Jimin nibbled anxiously at his lip, as a combination of concern, sternness, and glum all washed over his normally smiling face.

Noticing this, Hoseok began to apologize frantically, worried that he had crossed the line,"I'm sorry for bringing it up-"

"-No, no," Jimin interrupted, placing a hand in front of him, "I appreciate you telling me. It's just that whenever he's really anxious he tends not to eat as much, Ive already tried convincing him that it's not good but he can't help it. As much as I hate it and try to help him, there's not much we can do."

Hoseok looked up at Jimin's hurt expression, eyes gazing towards the boy's clenched fists. It looked as if he was about to burst into tears at that moment, so without thinking Hoseok pulled him in for a hug, arms wrapping around the smaller's waist as his hands patted his back as well.

Stunned, as the hug was unexpected, Jimin just stood there before slowly melting into the embrace, wrapping both his arms around the elder's neck.
