"Yoongi? What happened? Where are they?!" Namjoon immediately asks worried after entering the premises. However, he fails to see him inside the living room. He scans back and forth and goes inside the kitchen.

"There you are! How come you didn't even respond when you're just in here?!" Namjoon scolds his hyung but the older just shrug in return, earning a disappointed look from Namjoon.

"Hyung, where are they? I left the photoshoot as soon as I received your message," Yoongi sighs before settling himself on the stool.

"They're in Taehyung's room. The kid started crying when Jin arrived, then Jimin started bawling after. Now they can't calm Taehyung down so they decided to move inside the bedroom and have a heart to heart talk regarding the matter," he explains to Namjoon. Copying his hyung, he sits on one of the stools before sighing.

"Jeongguk is still silent and doesn't speak about it like it's nothing to him. Like the whole break up and Taehyung means nothing to him. I swear I'm gonna kick his ass when he says he's not serious with Taehyung," Namjoon spats bitterly before clenching his fists. Yoongi taps his shoulders before replying.

"I'll help you with that one," he says and smiles widely, his gums showing bright. They can't help but chuckle together even though the ambiance is gloomy due to the three best friends.

"When did Jin arrive? He didn't message me so I guessed that he's still on the plane."

"About 30 minutes ago. I couldn't do anything because they're already crying their eyes out that's why I decided to call you. I'm very sorry for disturbing you on your photoshoot, Joon," Yoongi apologizes solemnly. Namjoon just shakes his head and smiles, showing his dimples.

"Nah, it's okay hyung. The photographer let me go since I told him it's an emergency. They'll just schedule me a new photoshoot by next week. By the way, why are your eyes puffy? Did you cry?" To say Namjoon is shocked is an understatement. He could not believe that Min Yoongi, the one who always refuse to do and say cringy things, cried.

"Yah don't make fun of me! I was just carried away by the three. And if you're here earlier, you would've cried too!" The older retorts before crossing his arms on his chest as he pouts.

"I did not even say anything though. Anyways, let's just cook something for them. I know they'll be hungry once they've done talking."

"Okay. But I'm the one who's in charge of cooking and setting the table."

"But- what about me?"

"You... just watch TV or something. You've broken enough plates and burnt enough frying pans to cause another destruction, Joon. Now go!" Namjoon insists helping him otherwise but gets rejected no matter how he convinced the grumpy man. With a sigh of defeat, he drags his body towards the living room and plops himself on the sofa, switching channel after channel.

Jin is still hugging the youngest one for his cries never died down since he arrived. Jimin, on the other hand, is now lying on his bed while calming himself down.

"Tae, please stop crying. It's already 30 minutes and you're still crying non-stop. I don't want you to get your eyes hurt," Jin says in a worried tone. Taehyung just nods his head and seconds after, the sobs die down. Jimin shoots up from bed and moves closer towards the two.

"I want you to calm down first that's why I'll let Jiminnie tell me everything, alright? Is that okay with you?" Taehyung bobs his head up and down indicating that he agrees with it. Jin looked at Jimin and the petite boy closes his eyes before telling everything to Jin.

"And that's it, hyung. They have no proper break up, no closure, no explanations as to how and why Jeongguk cheated on him. Nothing from the younger. Even Yoongi and Namjoon hyung are waiting for his explanations but they received nothing," Jimin ends with a teardrop rolling on his cheeks. Jin's blood is boiling in anger, but he knows he has to stop himself before he goes out to find Jeongguk and kill him for hurting his best friend.

"That fucktard," he whispers. Jimin notices that he is now clenching both of his fists and decides to hold both of it to calm him down. Jin looks at him softly before unclenching them and hold hands with Jimin instead.

"Hyung, Tae's been through a lot. He keeps on crying every night, he won't eat properly, he won't even smile genuinely. I just want to bring back the old Taehyung, hyung. I don't know what to do," Jimin looks at the sleeping figure that's been tucked under the blanket before staring at Jin's misty eyes. Jin cups the younger's cheeks.

"I'm here, Jimin. You won't ever have a problem with that one because I'm here to help you. I filed a leave for two months since exams are done and all I have to do is process some things for my graduation which is not a problem because I have someone to do it instead of me. So I'll be here with you, okay? I love you and Taehyung so much," Jin whispers with a sob. Jimin hugs him tightly and says "I love you" all over again.

"Now we're going to find Jeongguk and give him a chance to explain whatever his reason is on why he broke up with Taetae then we will kick his ass afterwards, okay?" Jin says which makes Jimin smile his genuine smile and nods aggressively.

"Yes, let's do that!"
