Chapter 28 - Poor Hyung
As we walked down one of the quietest corridors after receiving many congratulations from other singers, something happened.
Jimin was walking alongside me, when he fell to his knees, gasping.
"Hyung?" I asked, concerned. I knelt beside him and placed a hand on his back as he gasped, as if he had just run a marathon.
I saw his eyes roll back and I just caught him before he hit the cold floor.
"Jimin!" they all yelled, also kneeling down to check him, but also gave him some room.
As I held his unconscious body, I noticed how light and skinny he was, despite his muscles. Was this why he passed out?
Then his eyes fluttered open again and we sighed in relief.
"You had us scared to death! Are you okay?" Jin asked him.
I helped him to stand, but still kept my hands on his shoulders in case he was weak.
He chuckled.
"Just nerves and excitement! Sorry! I didn't mean to pass out - I'm ok - lets get back." he smiled.
I was unsure, but we all headed back.
We returned to Jungkook's house to watch the video of our performance and celebrate. "We are bulletproof Pt2" received over 1000 views within fifteen minutes of posting, and "No More Dream" got 10,000 views within 30 minutes! I was so happy, but still kept my eye on Jimin.
Jungkook invited us to stay overnight in celebration, which was a preposition we all accepted gladly.
One by one, after eating, listening to music and playing video games, they all fell asleep until only Jimin and I remained awake.
"So...Why did you really faint today?" I asked him quietly from next to him.
He just looked up.
"I told you - shock and excitement mixed with nerves!" He smiled.
"Jimin...I'm sorry, but I am not an idiot. You've been dieting haven't you?"
He looked down and fiddled with his fingers.
"No... Just working out! You've seen my abs right?" he smirked.
"Jimin - you don't need to lie to me - I wont tell them if you don't want me to..." I tried.
"Okay fine... that's why I passed out...but please - you cant tell them!" he begged.
"What diet was it? Only eating certain things?" I asked.
"No...I was well...starving myself. I have been having only a small lunch every day, with no snacks or meals - that is why I passed out. I was hungry and I guess the dance just made It worse..." He sighed.
"Only one meal?" I gasped. "How did you live? You don't even need to diet Jimin - You are fine how you are!"
"But it makes me feel better about myself hyung." He smiled. "I promise I wont do it any more for now, but sometimes I need to - just to enforce my confidence in myself."
"Just take care - don't hurt yourself okay?"
"I promise." He smiled. "Thank you for understanding. Back when I used to do it with my family, they would get angry or say I didn't need to. I was just fed up with people getting angry at me - maybe if they didn't, then I wouldn't do it so severly."
I nodded.
"Ok, get some rest - good job today Hyung." I smiled, ruffling his hair and settling down in my sleeping bag.
I watched Jimin also settle down, but he played on his phone a little before going to sleep.
Somehow I knew this wouldn't be the last diet he went on, but I knew he would keep his promise and not hurt himself again - he wasn't like that.
And if he did, we were here for him...
We would always be...
I hoped
