Taehyung gnawed at his fingernails absently, receiving an annoyed "Yah, Taehyung-ah" from the stylist next to him trying to do Namjoon's hair while he napped. Smiling sheepishly at her he let his right hand fall to his leather-clad lap before returning his attention to the television hanging on the wall opposite. He was nervous in ways he hadn't been since debut-days.
He watched the hosts interact with each other eliciting laughs from the in-studio audience and his chest constricted further. He barely caught a few words he truly understood.
This was huge. They were back in America and this time to perform on late-night TV shows. Their fans were excited and so was their CEO – who had no qualms about telling them so before they left the hotel today for rehearsals. The rest of the band was excited too. They'd stayed up all night like children laughing and joking about what it would be like but now, Taehyung looked around the room and sighed.
Jimin was pestering a half-annoyed/half-fond Yoongi. Hoseok was alternating between bouncing a leg nervously and joking about with the maknae. Jin was...Taehyung scanned the dressing room again and frowned. Where was Jin?
"Where's Jin?" Taehyung questioned Hoseok who'd been with Jin last Taehyung had seen him.
"Bathroom."
"Oh, alright." Taehyung went back to watching the television. There was a celebrity being interviewed and he was almost positive he'd seen her before somewhere. Next to him, Namjoon finally blinked awake with a prod from the stylist who was finally done with his hair.
"How long until we go on?" Namjoon asked sleepily, question directed at no one in particular. Taehyung smiled at his still glazed eyes and dopey expression. Their leader could be cute sometimes.
"We have about an hour left, hyung." He supplied. Their leader nodded slowly, yawning. His eyes scanned the room automatically.
"Where's Jin?"
"Bathroom."
"Ah...ok."
A few more minutes passed before Namjoon started laughing at whatever was being said between the hosts and interviewee. Taehyung didn't have to ask for him to begin translating what was happening. Soon he could laugh along with him.
"I'm going to check on Jin," Taehyung got up from his chair and stretched experimentally, grinning at the way his noisy joints made Jimin cringe and laugh.
"Ok," Namjoon nodded.
Taehyung walked along the carpeted hallway, bowing respectfully and smiling at everyone he met. His eyes went from one thing to the other as he tried to take it all in. there were pictures with celebrities and the host hung up on the wall and he paused to stare at each of them before remembering why he left the dressing room in the first place.
"Hyung?" he called out once he was inside the restroom. His reflection caught his attention for a second and he winked at himself before laughing aloud. The lights were doing great things for his skin. Wait, "Hyung?" he called again but heard no response. He knocked on the doors of each cubicle and found them all empty. Confused he called out again but heard no response once more. "Where did he go?" Taehyung voiced his thought.
Reassessing the situation he decided going back to the dressing room without Jin didn't make a lot of sense since everyone thought he was in the restroom. Instead, Taehyung decided with a nod at his reflection, he could search the floor they were on. Using what English he had command of he asked around as he went from room to room and eventually he found out where Jin was – up on the roof of the building.
