It’s been weeks since Seulgi left their dorm. They went back to their usual route. Rehearsals, interviews, Photo-shoots then repeat. However, something felt missing, like a missing piece to complete the puzzle.

That’s how Yoongi felt.

When he was alone in his studio, he usually found himself watching some videos of Seulgi that was stored on his phone. He once caught Seokjin watching the video he took at the skating dome with Seulgi.

Seokjin even set Seulgi's face as his lockscreen, smiling each time he stares at his phone. Even the other members were just staring around, wondering if the kid is alright.

Her words usually rang in Yoongi’s mind. Her smile and her laugh. How could a child endure all the pain yet there she was, still smiling and satisfied with her life when she deserves so much more.

He tried to bury himself on work but somehow, his mind would always wander off, worrying if she’s alright or is she eating well.

Yoongi sigh as he entered their room, it was past midnight, so he was surprise to see the eldest wide awake, laying on his bed while staring at Yoongi.

“You still awake?”

“Can’t sleep. You?”

“Can’t work.” Yoongi simply answered, knowing that his hyung understand him in his silence the most more than anyone else.

Yoongi closed the door as he went to their shared closet, changing his clothes before going back to his hyung who was staring at the ceiling.

“I can’t stop thinking about her.” Seokjin confessed.

Yoongi sigh before laying behind his hyung, giving him a tight hug from behind. Seokjin didn't complained, he just let Yoongi place his face on his neck as he felt the younger hot breath on his skin.

“Me too.” Yoongi replied before taking a deep breath. “I wonder if she’s doing fine.”

“I just wished she’s doing fine. I know she’s a strong kid but I can’t stop myself from worrying. She’s just a little girl, trying to understand the world.” Seokjin whispered, as his voice broke at the end.

Yoongi lift his head and saw tears falling down his hyung cheeks. It's rare to see Seokjin cry, and when it does, it broke Yoongi's heart, knowing Seokjin became their pillar of strength. He was the wall and the brigde bonding the seven of them together, safe and happy. And seeing this strong wall breaking down, revealing a fragile and vulnerable person behind them, made him promise to himself.

That whenever, his hyung would shed his tears. He will be there to wipe it off, he will be the one to wipe it off, even thou that's the only thing he can give him.

His love and devotion.

Yoongi gently wiped the tears off with his warm hands. Seokjin turned his body to faced him and place his head on Yoongi's chest. He held his hyung in his arms, massaging his back in circular motion to calm him down, knowing how sensitive Seokjin is even thou he had the strongest mentality in the group, his heart was just too soft compare to his head. 

They fell in silence for a while, feeling each other’s warmth was enough to keep the both of them calm. Yoongi continued to massage Seokjin's back when an idea came in.

He stopped, Seokjin notice it as he lift his head to look at Yoongi.

“Hyung, I have an idea.” Yoongi proudly said, as Seokjin just raised his eyebrows.

Seulgi kept her plushie close to her as she went outside to play but no one wants to play with her, even in her old orphanage.
