Jimin was worried. And he didn’t understand why no one else was.

Well the fans were he supposed as he scrolled through the comments on his latest social media  post. It was a picture he’d taken of Hoseok running through the choreo backstage with Jin but barely anyone was commenting on the actual post. It was just comment after comment asking about Jungkook’s whereabouts, questioning his absence from promotions. The official story was what their manager had told the group a week ago, Jungkook was getting over a viral infection and was resting but the fans weren’t buying it and neither was Jimin.

And they’d always been close, him and Jungkook. If he called and asked him outright what was wrong, then he might say.

He’d brought Jungkook’s number up and was about to hit call when his phone was unceremoniously ripped from his hand.

“Stop moping.” The culprit told him, throwing the phone onto the couc
