Jimin was in bed looking at the first comments.

He was getting the support, the love and of course the usual toxic comments.

With the time and support of his hyungs, he had learned to ignore it even if it still hurt him, obviously.

J: Jimin come and help me please !!!!

Jimin puts his phone in his pocket and goes downstairs to join Jin in the kitchen.

Jm: Yes hyung.

J: you offered to help me cook.

Jm: of course, what should I do Chef Kim

They start to prep the meal for all the members but Jimin's phone kept ringing.

J: You can mute your phone please.

Jm: yes excuse me I'll turn it off.

He turns it off and resumes cutting the vegetables.

***

J: While you watch, I'll set the table.

But before Jin leaves, Namjoon enters the phone glued to his ear. A weird look on his face. It's was a mixture of anger and disappointment.

N: lounge right away!

Jin puts down the plates he had in his hands, while Jimin stops the cooking plate. And without saying a word, they enter the living room. Namjoon opens his computer and answers the incoming call. Jimin and Jin sit on either side of the leader.

They can see their manager on the screen, who starts talking right away.

M: Jimin under your picture someone posting a video of you.

Jimin frowns, he just wanted to wish his fans a good evening.

M: Tell me that you are not at the origin? I beg you.

Jm: Min I don't understand, what video are you talking about? Who posted what? Sorry but I'm not following you.

M: Namjoon can you play the video I just sent you.

He does.

Jimin smiled before turning around

 and removing the towel around his waist.

 His whole body was visible. 

We now see him enter the hot water of his bath. 

He closes his eyes, to take advantage of the peace and quiet of the room.

They watch the video with their eyes wide open in incomprehension.

They are speechless, shocked !

M: So Jimin ?

Jm: But of course it's not me! I would never do anything like that!

N: it's still on the networks?

M: We were able to delete the original video. But nothing is really deleted on the internet. We will post an announcement, to say what it's fake and ask for support to report when such a thing happens.

Jimin remains shocked, freeze. 

He no longer listens what they say to him, his mind leaves in fear and incomprehension. He recognizes the bathroom, it was one of a hotel they are in after one of their concerts last month.

***

He comes to his senses due to Jin who gently puts his hand on his shoulder.

J: Jimin are you listening to me? Come, forget all that, it will load and it will only be in the past very quickly. Come eat.

Jm: sorry hyung but I'm not very hungry anymore. I am just goings to lay down.

Jimin leaves without letting Jin answer him.

As he gets up from the sofa Jin wants to catch him but Namjoon stops Jin.

N: no leave him alone, in his place, you wouldn't be very hungry either. Let him accept what is going on and we'll see how he feels tomorrow.

*************

Jimin once in his room turns on his phone and does the worst thing he could do.

He goes on Twitter to see the comments, of course the only ones he read are not the supporting posts, but the hate posts.

The pig in his bath

...

A career change maybe

...

He better drown in this water

...

And so many others are all more horrible than the others.

But Jimin couldn't take his tired eyes off that screen. So when his alarm rang, he was still awake.

All the other members were already downstairs. They had decided the night before that they were all going to get up before him, and support him .

Jungkook had made him breakfast so he took the tray with him and followed the other members, they slowly entered the room.

Jungkook sets the tray down on the bedside table and they all sit on Jimin's bed. Taehyung automatically hugs Jimin, and Jimin couldn't be strong so he cries, wetting his friend's top.

Jin comes to rub his back delicately

J: Jimin everything will be fine. You'll see, Pd-min will take care of all this and turn the situation to our advantage as usual. You'll see, we'll come out of all this stronger.

Jimin looks at him angry.

Jm: you really think ! He should have done his work properly!

JK: what do you mean?

Jm: The video was taken in one of the hotels where we went, and apart we or our staff not many people know in advance what our rooms will be !

The others hadn't really thought like that.

Hoseok thinks it would be better to change the subject or just try to less lighten the atmosphere which was darkening.

H: Jiminie did you sleep a little?

Jm: not really

N: do you want me to ask if we can have our day?

Today they had to film the practice.

JM: no hyung, it will do me good to dance.

N: Are you sure?

Jimin nods, the boys stay with him a little longer in his bed.

After a while the boys leave to prepare their bag, but only Jungkook remains and gives him his meal tray.

Then he helps him pack his bag.

And ended up waiting for him downstairs with the others until he finished getting ready.

Then they all go to the studio together.

Arriving there the boys sit down and their manager explains their agenda for the day.

But Jimin isn't paying attention, he feels some eyes on him.

He could hear on the way some remarks from the staff.

At first people talk together and turn to jimin.

But some of them, took him aside he got the right to:

hey jimin I got a copy of your video,

....

I'm glad to see you whole for once.

....

Jimin the bath was  good ?

...

And it was whispering like that all day.

Jimin could only shut himself up during this terrible day. The other members try to cheer him up but, in avail.

Once everything that was supposed to be filmed today is over, they have to join the cars. 

They then head to the parking lot.

As they exit the elevator and get ready to join the cars,

many several reporters arrive around Jimin.

Nobody could react fast enough and Jimin finds himself surrounded, the flashes are triggered and the questions fuse:

Jimin tells us about this video! Some say that you are the author?

...

Jimin, do you have any other video?

...

Do not you think you hurt the reputation of your group?

...

Your fans do not accept such an exhibition! What did you answer them?

...

How did you feel when you found out you were filmed?

...

Jimin feels his heart is racing,

 the air getting rare,

 the lack of space is choking him. 

All the remarks go into his heart like needles.

Finally, Namjoon and Yoongi manage to make their way through the journalists.

Arriving at Jimin's level, Yoongi grabs Jimin. He puts one arm behind him and hides with the other his face. Namjoon also puts an arm behind his back and the other in front of him to be able to pass 

and they finally slip into the car.

Jimin, still in Yoongi's arms, couldn't stop shaking. His gaze was blank and he remained paralyzed.

Once at their apartment, the boys lead him to his room. Jimin sits on the edge of his bed but he couldn't help but shake the needle still stab him.

Seeing that, he does not calm down, Yoongi goes to get him a sleeping pill  to calm him down and so that he can rest a little

Yoongi hands him a pill and some water. Jimin takes it, feeling nothing to say.

Yoongi leaves the box in jimin's table hoping that he wouldn't need to give him another one anytime soon.

Taehyung sits next to him. He passes his hand through his hair before hugging him after some time he fell Jimin began to calm down.

T: Come on, it's over now. I won't let you go anymore.

While Taehyung makes them comfortable. Jimin under the influence of the drug falls asleep crying in Taehyung's arms

A strange atmosphere floated all evening.

And it was still present the next morning.

Jimin wakes up. He is reassured to be still in Taehyung's arms who are on his phone. 

Taehyung writes a message then puts his cell phone away.

T: how are you feeling today?

Jimin's face was sad, and closed. The only answer he could give was a shrug. He couldn't tell him that he felt broken and terribly sad.

T: The others are waiting for us in the living room, you don't have to if you don't want to.

J: I'm coming.

So Jimin gets up and lets himself be guided like a zombie towards the living room.

He is surprised to see their manager there in addition to the boys.

All sorry looks fall on him. He then looks at Tae and whispers.

JM: what's going on?

M: they posted another video.

Jimin's blood swirls and speaks bringing out all his frustration.

Jm: show me !!

N: Jiminie, you don't have to.

Jm: It's a video of me, I want to see.

Jimin sits down next to Namjoon in front of the screen.

M: the video was posted in respond to our denial. To prove it was true.

Jm: show me

The manager presses play.

We see Jimin heading from the hotel bathroom to his suitcase.

we see him remove his towel and change.

It is not very long but it is enough to make it clear that several cameras had been installed throughout the room and had therefore filmed it all night.

JM: Is it just that?

M: why ? Did you do something else that night?

Jimin got hurt by the question.

JM: WHAT ?

M: Why do you want there to be a sequel? Did someone join you that night? Did you do something?

JM: what no! Of course not !

The manager is about to say something else but Namjoon cuts him off.

N: I think we will stop there for today! See you tomorrow !

M: no. Sorry but you had a photo shoot today so go get ready. I'll take you there.

Jimin remained upset and hurt but didn't speak and just go.

Once at the shooting location, the boys are divided into different parts of the location.

That earned an argument between Namjoon and their manager, not wanting to leave Jimin on his own.

M: we have to, otherwise we will run out of time to do everything. And if you hurry you can join him.

Jimin resumes his zombie state and lets himself be guided by the staff.

But unfortunately for him. Two unusual staff members had decided to have there fun. One was his stylist for the day and the other one of the photographers. 

The media had promised them a lot of money if they brought back interesting photos like the videos.

As the stylist helps him to change outfits, he hears the click of a camera.

He turns around, protecting his chest with his shirt, and sees the photographer.

JM: what are you doing there! Get out of here.

P: you let him have you filmed so let me take a picture of you, it's not much.

Jimin walks over to take the device from him, but he got held back by the other guys.

Og : Just be a nice boy. Let it be my beauty. Let us do it.

Jimin, disgusted by his words and his attitude, begins to struggle.

The two men hadn't planned on Jimin going to fight like that but they still managed to get what they wanted from Jimin. So they sneak out, closing the door behind them to give them time to leave and run away as fast as they can.

****************

The boys waited for the set to be ready but when they didn't see jimin come back. Jungkook and Namjoon decide to go and get him.

Namjoon after asking which room he was in, tries to open the door.

He frowns.

Strange.

JK: Jimin?

They strain their ears to hear the response from the room, and as a response they hear sniffles.

At a glance they understand that this is not normal. 

So they kick in the door and find him curled up in a corner of the room, 

clutching a ragged white shirt to his bare chest.

Namjoon crouched down next to him. Without touching him, he asks with a calm voice.

N: Jimin what happened?

Jimin looked at him. When he understood it was his leader, he let the tears fall and threw himself in his arms wanting to be protected and not to think anymore.

After a minute.

JM: Namjoonie ... we can.... Can ... Go back ... home ... please?

Not understanding the situation but not wanting to rush him, he accepts without asking any questions.

He sends a message to their group and they all meet in their car.

Jimin stays glued to the leader all the way.

Namjoon guided him to the living room whispering to him:

N: Jimin you have to explain the situation to us too...

But Jimin cut him off, and didn't want to make real what happened.

JM: not now I'm going to my room.

**************

He lies down thinking that by closing his eyes he could sleep and forget everything.

But the pictures of what's happened came back.

 if I had done that, said that....

The people he could trust turned on him, hurt him, how to get up from that?

Unable to sleep, he wants to take his headphones to drown his thoughts in music.

He opens the drawer and comes across the pills Yoongi had left behind,

so he decides to take one.

.

.

.

But the thought was still there!

.

.

.

So he takes two more!

.

.

.

But he still wasn't falling asleep so

.

.

.

Maybe if he takes a handful of it. 

Maybe everything he heard and experienced just wouldn't tickle him anymore.

.

.

.

So he does it, he finishes his bottle of water to swallow all the pills.

He looks at the box, finally feeling sleep coming.

Just then, hoseok enters his room, and lands next to him.

He removes the lonely tear that had taken up residence on his cheek.

H: Do you want to take a pill to help you sleep?

Jm: I just took some,

He smiles, a weak smile.

Jm: It's finally starting to take effect. Can I forget what happened ? 

Hobi, 

I'm ... sorry

Thank you.

and jimin falls asleep.

Hobi stays in the same place and strokes his hair. But a strange lump forms in his belly.

H: why are they doing this to you, you deserve people to love you. My poor angel.

Hoseok wanted to keep saying what he was thinking but suddenly 

Jimin's breathing slowed down, but it was way too slow to be normal.

He runs to Jimin's bedroom door to scream.

H: Come help me !!!!!!!

Yoongi, who was in his room was the first one entered Jimin's room.

Y: why are you screaming like that? What's happening ?

H: I don't know, but he's almost breathing ! Hyung!

Y: what?

Yoongi then rushes to his two friends and sees the box of pills he takes in his hands.

Y: he took a pill?

H: He had it in his hands when I came in.

The other members who have come in their turn are now all present

yoongi opens the box and notices that it is almost empty.

Y: Hobie! It was full when I gave it to jimin!

J: can you enlighten us?

Y: He took pills, too many pills we have to take him to the hospital! And right away.

Jungkook then immediately takes out his phone and calls an ambulance.

Jin shake jimin to try to wake him up.

J: I think he's not breathing.

Namjoon then takes Jimin and lays him on the ground.

Yoongi puts his hand on his neck to feel his pulse but nothing.

Y: no no no no...... he can't leave like that! Not like that no no!

Yoongi starts giving Jimin chest compression. 

The others watch some collapse, others weep in the arms of the one who is closest to them.

After a few minutes Yoongi stops 

and looks at his only hyung, and starts to cry.

Y: hyung he can't go.

Jin immediately takes over.

At the same moment the paramedics enter the house and in an instant he takes away a very pale and inert Jimin.

The boys take a moment to get up.

They manage to get into the emergency room and quickly find themselves in front of a door where they see the doctor pushing a huge tube into Jimin's mouth.

A nurse who sees them guides them to a waiting room, promising to give them news quickly.

JK: Why him hyung?

N: I don't know kook I don't know.

Y: I should never have left the drugs in his room.

T: Enough!

He gets up and goes towards the exit.

T: I'll Find These Assholes.

Namjoon stops him and takes him in his arms

N: Stop saying no sense.

Tae starts to cry letting all his frustration escape.

T: What if I lo.... Hyung if he .... If he ...

N: let's think positive for the moment, he needs positive.

He nods and the leader turns to everyone.

N: If you want to crack it is now! I'll give you all a minute, after this minute, we stop looking for who should have done what! Because we are all guilty! We could all have done something! But let's not forget that we've all done something, we haven't been sitting around doing nothing since the first video. So now we show ourselves strong for him, we think about him and how we are going to smile and support him when we see him!

***************

T: Jiminie... ...?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Jk: mini?

.

.

.

.

.

His mind was blurry, he felt lost.

But the sensations came back to him.

Gentleness protected him.

The warmth in his hand reassured him.

Then a soft gesture on his face brings him back to reality.

He knew without looking that the members were there, close to him, ready to defend him.

After a day of sleeping, it's finally feeling safe, alone with his friends so Jimin finally opens his eyes.
