Jimin and Hoseok were sitting at the lunch table, waiting for their friends to join them. The atmosphere around both of them was tense as they both felt uncomfortable around each other since their first class.

Relief washed over them when Yoongi walked into the lunchroom and quickly spotted them.

"What's up, fools?" Yoongi asked, sitting down next to Jimin.

"Nothing," Hoseok mumbled, staring at the entrance of the room, waiting for Jin or Taehyung to come to cheer him up.

"Why are you guys face all sad and blank? Did you guys fight or sum?" Yoongi questioned, trying to understand what was going on with the two.

"No," Jimin blankly said, fiddling with his fingers.

"Jimin, I know you're lying to me. You know you can tell me anything too," Yoongi assured, worried for Jimin.

"I remembered back then, that's it," Jimin muttered, glancing at Hoseok for a second before focusing on Yoongi. Yoongi made a sad face and hugged Jimin, caressing his hair out of comfort.

"Don't worry about back then, it won't happen again. I promise," Yoongi softly whispered in Jimin's ear.

"I'm scared, though," Jimin confessed, stuffing his face in Yoongi's chest.

"It's going to be okay. Look Jungkook is here," Yoongi said, patting Jimin's back.

"Wassup every-," Jungkook looked at Jimin, then looked at Yoongi. "Who hurt my brother?" Jungkook questioned, looking at Yoongi.

"No one, but he thought back to you know," Yoongi told Jungkook, who understood what Yoongi was talking about.

"What happened with Jimin?" Taehyung asked, looking at Jungkook.

"Not for me to tell," Jungkook answered, gesturing for Taehyung to sit down next to Jimin as Yoongi got up and moved to sit next to Hoseok. Jungkook sat where Yoongi was and comforted his brother.

"It's okay, Jimin. You have Yoongi, Namjoon, and I to look after you," Jungkook mumbled, placing his chin on top of Jimin head as he rocked them back and forth.

"Hobi, can I talk to you for a moment?" Taehyung asked, getting a slow nod from Hoseok.

They both stood up from the lunch table and walked out of the lunchroom and into an empty hallway.

"What happened to Jimin?" Taehyung asked, knowing that Hoseok was with Jimin for the first half of the day.

"I don't know, we were talking while walking to our first class and he got quiet when I told him that he is talkative," Hoseok explained, feeling disappointed in himself for saying that to Jimin.

"Talkative?" Taehyung questioned, trying to understand the situation.

"He is very sociable," Hoseok rephrased, Taehyung nodding his head finally understanding.

"What did he tell you when you told him that?" Taehyung asked.

"He said that he likes to get to know Jungkook's friends better because of something that happened at his old school. I notice that he didn't sound happy when he told me, so I asked if he wanted to talk about it, but he just said no. It's been tense between us since," Hoseok finished with a pout.

"Hobi, it's not your fault. I'm sure both of us would like to know what happened then, but it's best if we wait until Jimin tells himself when he is ready. I'm positive that Jimin isn't mad at you either, so don't think about it too much," Taehyung assured, hugging Hoseok for a moment to cheer him up. "Let's go back to the lunchroom," Taehyung said, grabbing Hoseok's hand and walked back to the lunchroom.

Once they both got back at the table, all of their friends were already there. Jimin was now okay as he was now smiling and laughing, which made Hoseok and Taehyung feel relief.

"You're back, baby," Jungkook said, patting his thigh for Taehyung, who sat down on his boyfriend's lap.

"Are you okay now, Jimin," Taehyung whispered to Jimin.

"I'm better now, Taehyungie," Jimin said, smiling brightly. "Hoseok, I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable or anything. Just know none of that had to do with you. I'm glad you care, though," Jimin said, holding Hoseok's hand that was on the table with a reassuring smile.

"It's fine, I was just worried I said something wrong and hurt your feelings," Hoseok confessed, smiling back at Jimin.

"So something did happen between you guys," Yoongi blurted out, putting his arm around Hoseok's shoulder.

"It wasn't big," Hoseok tried to reason.

"But something still happened," Yoongi said, pointing at Hoseok with a knowing face.

"Shut up, Yoongi," Jimin playfully said, then laughed when Yoongi dramatically yelled, "YA!"

Jungkook smiled at his brother, hyung, and Taehyung's friend as they were both fooling around with each other. He kissed Taehyung's head, before placing his chin on his shoulder, joining into the conversation with Namjoon, Jin, and Taehyung.
