As night falls, (Y/N), Jimin, and Taehyung are walking along beside each other as they head back to the dorm after practicing.

"You practice this late every day? Alone? Amazing..." Taehyung looks toward Jimin with awe.

Jimin looks away shyly, "I've gotta make sacrifices for my abs."

"I...I'll just hope for them in my next life." Taehyung laughs, looking down at his own soft belly.

"Awww, don't worry. I love your pudgy belly." (Y/N) teases Taehyung by poking his belly sides, making him giggle.

"H-Hey! Stop! S-Stop it!"

The two laugh for what seemed like a while until they were interrupted.

"Huh? What's that over there?"

The three turn to look where Jimin is pointing.

Someone's leaving the dorm in a rush.

*Timeskip*

"Seokjin's gone?" (Y/N)'s voice raises after being given the news.

"He said he was going to go sleep and I believed him..." Yunki claims as his fingers are brought up to his upper lip.

"I asked him why he was going to bed so early, and he said that's what good kid-adults do..." Jeongguk states as his hands lay on the side of his waist.

'So earlier...the person leaving the dorm...that was Seokjin.' (Y/N) looks down at the floor, recalling her memory in her head.

"Come to think of it...Seokjin hyung's been acting weird lately." Hoseok thinks aloud.

"Weird? How?"

"So..."

*Flashback*

"Teacher Jeong Hoseok! One more lesson, please! C'mon!" Seokjin begs with his hands in a praying gesture as he pouts at Hoseok.

Hoseok stares down at the ground with a dead tired expression on his face. "Hyung...I'm so sorry, but I'm dead tired."

"Practice doesn't seem as good when I do it alone. Just one more hour, please?" Seokjin attempts to beg harder to change his mind.

"I'm barely getting sleep because I've been composing..."

"I'll give you both legs when we order chicken? It's all yours! Deal?"

"I'm really sorr... Zzz..." Hoseok lays on his back, fast asleep on the practice room floor.

*Flashback ends*

"He's always wanted me to teach him things...But then he started making excuses when I suggested we practice." Hoseok fumbles his shirt as he flashbacks to the times Seokjin rejected practice.

*Flashback*

"No, it's okay."

...

"Get some sleep while you can."

...

"Sorry, I'm kinda busy."

*Flashback ends*

Hoseok's face shows signs of gloom and guilt, "I'm sure I did something to push Seokjin away. I was too busy to give him the attention he deserved. And I kept teasing him and calling him a grasshopper...Do you think he took it personally?"

'I think he's tougher than that...and that doesn't really seem like something worth getting upset over, either... Hm... Then?' (Y/N) thinks hard, "Do you think he's having second thoughts?"
