ME : Yoo...Yoongi hyungie~

I couldn't word my mind and ended up in tears instead, miserably failing to speak.

JM : Yah, why are you crying now? What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?

NJ : This won't do. I will go call the doctor here.

Namjoon Hyung left the room as he made a call while Jin hyung brought me a glass of water.

I drank it and tried to gather myself together.

HOBI : Let's go to your room. We'll talk the rest there.

Everyone agreed with him and helped me to my room. I laid down leaning to the bed head as they asked me to do while pulling blankets on me.

I was drowning more into guilt seeing them care for me regardlessly when I was the lone reason for their distress at the moment.

JM : Rest for now. Doctor is coming soon.

Undeserving of their benignity, my heart crumpled in impotence. Shortly, the doctor came and ran his diagnosis while hyungs stood beside me with concerned faces.

J : What's wrong doctor? Is he alright?

DOCTOR : Well, he does have an injury on his left abdominal area as if he got hit by something.

As I thought about it, I figured that I did experience a shooting pain when Suga hyung threw me to the couch.

The recollection of our fight was almost about to form tears in my eyes that I was safely brought back as the doctor continued.

DOCTOR : However, it's a minor one. It will heal on its own with a few days' rest and no excercise. Apart from that, is he skipping meals?

J : Now that I think of it, he has been careless with his food lately.. saying he has no appetite.

DOCTOR : That must be it. He has become weak. He needs to eat well or we might have to get him admitted to the hospital.

J : We'll take care of that, doctor.

DOCTOR : Alright then. He is fine otherwise. There's nothing to worry. I will just advice him a good rest.

NJ : Thank you so much, doctor. I'll see you outside.

HS : Yes, I am coming with you.

With that, all three went while others looked at me with concern, ready to give a good nag.

JM : (-sitting beside me-) What is seriously wrong with you? You have been skipping meals and on top of that those extra hours of practise? What were you thinking?

J : Don't take yourself for granted, Kookie. You need to take care of yourself. I know we have got a problem here but we are all together. We'll solve it.

I felt better to have them chide up on me. A faint smile on my lips laid that soon faded away with the reminiscence of Yoongi hyung as Taehyung Hyung followed after in curiosity.

TH : But, I don't understand, where did Yoongi Hyung go again?

I could no longer afford to keep them in shade and decided to ease their confusion and doubts.

ME : Yoongi Hyungie...

They looked at me with a patience.

JM : Onh, yes? You know where he went?

ME : He left.

I uttered with a low profile. Taehyung hyung causally inquired back.

TH : To where? And when is he coming back?

ME : He affirmed that he is leaving for good. Meaning... meaning he won't be coming back.

J : What?!

ME : Sorry, hyung. I couldn't stop him. It's all because of me. I am sorry.

My vision came blurry regardless and I wiped them before the tears slid to my cheeks. At this point, I felt undeserving of crying.

TH : And you got hurt while trying to stop him? All the mess his room is, that broken mirror, all that is done by Yoongi hyung?

I remained silent and looked down at my hands, not sure how to respond.

J : (-exclaims in disbelief-) Waa! This is making me lose it. I can't take this anymore.

Jin hyung simply flounced out of my room, sinking my heart even more.

Jimin hyung and Taehyung hyung shared a look at each other before the former looked at me as if he had something to say.

JM : Kookie. (-after a silence-) Rest for now without thinking too much. I or Tae will bring your food up here once it's time for dinner. So, don't even think to step outside and rest as we are asking you to do.

TH : If you need anything, just give us a call. Okay?

I just weakly nodded to them and they went out taking that as my answer.

As the door closed, there formed a cold silence in my room which left a shiver down my spine. The sounds of Yoongi hyung smashing everything and my brawl with him replayed like a movie. It was blinding my sight like a horrendous trauma.

JIMIN's POV

Leaving Kookie's room, we walked downstairs to find Namjoon hyung and Hobi hyung coming in as they saw the doctor off.

We went to the hall as well, deciding on telling them about Yoongi hyung.

NJ : (-seeing us-) How's Jungkookie now?

ME : He is fine. Resting now.

HS : What must've happe-

He got cut off by his phone ringing. He pulled it out from his pocket and received it spontaneously.

HS : (-over the call-) Yes?

He seemed taken aback as he listened further to the line, tension transparent in his expressions. Hobi hyung frantically ended the call and spoke to us.

HS : It was SuSan's friend. San-ie is not opening her door, there seems to be some kind of trouble.

NJ : Hob-ah, you should rush. Don't worry about here.

Hobi Hyung nodded to Namjoon hyung assured and flashed out whilst trying to reach Noona.

NamJoon hyung looked at me as Taehyung went to close the door.

NJ : Jimin. You have something to say to me, don't you?

ME : (-hesitating-) Y-yes hyung.

RM : (-calm voice-) What is it?

By then, Taehyung joined me and we relayed every tits and bits of Jungkook's explanation.

NJ : (-out of words-) Just... (-unable to think straight-) Just what happened? Yoongi hyung left the dorm, you say? I mean...

We looked down, not knowing what to say while Namjoon hyung had a dead serious face, busy in his thoughts.

NJ : One leaves, one gets sick.

He chuckled unamused, something very unusual coming from him.

TH : Hyung, what should we do now?

NJ : Well, if that's what is happening. I might as well add to it.

Namjoon hyung, without matching our eyes, simply stood up from the couch and made his silent way to his room. I and Taehyung followed his steps reflexively. 

ME : Hyung! What are you going to do?

NJ : Pack!

TH : What! Why? What will happen to us if you too...

Namjoon hyung almost glared at Taehyung as spoke with a grit.

NJ : Taehyung-ah, there is no more 'us' left here.

ME : But, hyung you're our leade-

NJ : (-cutting me off-) Leader, you say? Yeah right. It's my responsibility to keep us all together, to speak for OUR group, to represent OUR group.

A sight we never knew would be so terrifying until we lived it. Namjoon hyung was visibly frustrated and edged to the point, he outlasted quite suddenly.

NJ : But, I am failing to do so 'cause apparently the group here is not ready to call itself "our" anymore. Everyone has turned individual and isn't thinking for the group now. Then how and what should I protect and take responsibility for? What should I keep together?

We just silently took all his rants. He never acted this way; we didn't know how to deal with the same either. We needed Jin Hyung.

NJ : (-continues packing-) No, I mean. What is the matter? Okay fine, everyone has an issue with the other once in a while. But, that doesn't mean you leave everything and just move out!

ME : Hyung, please calm down. Yoongi hyung will return soon. Let's just give him some time.

NJ : Please, Jimin. I am sick of this already. I hated to say this thinking you all must've your own hurdles to overcome. But, I will say it today.

My heart instantly filled noticing the sparkle of tears in his rueful eyes. It was all too evident that Namjoon hyung was hurting from the clash more than we could've ever imagined for him. He spoke in a heavy voice.

NJ : It is not any easy responsibility to be a leader. It's suffocating. Sometimes, I feel like giving up because of the weight it has. But, once I see my group smiling and bearing through their pains, I live again and think to myself, "Namjoon, let's do this for these people. Let's bear a little longer".

Even though my sight was fixed on Namjoon hyung, I could feel Taehyung already bawling his eyes just from his tone.

TH : Hyung...

NJ : But, that is over now. It's suffocating to a level I no longer want to continue living like this.

He zipped his bags fiercely and wound it around his back. Hyung looked at us directly, we could tell he doesn't appreciate his own actions but he was helpless.

NJ : We might need to look for separate accommodations. Just letting you two know.

He then went out of his room carrying his essentials without further comments. Our heartbeats throbbing inside, hearing about the dorm in a threat of extinction.

No matter how small of a dorm we had, we have always lived together but the uninformed thunder of splitting burned our fears alive. The fear we never realized we had until that moment.

ME : Please, hyung... Don't leave us.

Taehyung and I clung on each of his arms, trying to change his mind.

TH : Yes, please just stay. We'll figure out something, hyung. Please...

He effortlessly freed himself out of our grips and spoke his last words to each of us.

NJ : Jimin-ah. Taehyung-ah. I am sorry. But, it's unbearable now. I want you both to understand me. Stay healthy and take care of Jungkook.

As he turned around to leave, I noticed Jin hyung watching us silently from the stairs.

I rushed to him and shook his arm.

ME : Jin hyung! Please stop him, he is leaving the dorm. (-shaking harder-) Hyung!

He was silent. Jin Hyung simply kept staring at Namjoon hyung walk away. Soon, Taehyung joined me to stir him but nothing came out from Jin hyung.

TH : Jin hyung! Please do something. He is not stopping.

I could clearly read the hurt that Jin hyung's face surfaced. He stood there like a cast figure. He seemed perplexed and unable to utter his thoughts.

Gradually, we were losing them all.

Jin Hyung turned around and walked to his room ever so quiet and glum. And so did we. Silently watched them all drift away. Disabled from making the least difference by any of our attempts.

Few hours later

.

.

The door bell rang raising Taehyung and my ears up. We were now in the hall drained and bummed to witness everything scatter.

Taehyung and I shared a look, both wondering who might be at the door. I shrugged in response and nudged him to check. 

Keeping my gaze fixed on the door as he walked to answer it, he welcomed a man.

______________

Who must be at the door?
RM? JHOPE? PD-nim? Their Manager?
