"Where am I? Who am I? 
  I want you
To fall into me that much
But when you play me
Pushing and pulling
I can't help it, I get dragged around
I keep wanting to lose to you" -VICTON-EYEZ EYEZ, 2017

Jimin and Yoongi.

Yoongi and Jimin.

You can't have one without the other...

Even without the fans knowing (Although the majority of them caught on years before) they were doing well.

Oh, if only things didn't go wrong right before their next comeback...

But Ignorance is Bliss, is it not?

Just stay ignorant to the things around you while you're in pain, and eventually, you'll find it in you to realize that pain was always there.

For it never left in the first place.

It had been barely a month since that day and tensions were running so high, no one could stand it.

They all had to act like nothing was wrong for the fans and the cameras that followed them around everywhere.

Honestly, it wasn't fair. They're human too, they should be able to express their feelings and shout out to the world in all their rage and disappointment and let it all out, but they can't.

This industry is so cruel, it brings an eerie sense of the inevitable with it...

No one saw the obviously deepening dark purple eye bags underneath all the concealer they had to use for all of the members.

No one saw Taehyung secretly slipping away from everyone else with Jungkook to cry onto his shoulder and rant on emotional tangents as Jungkook cried along with him.

No one saw Hoseok only hold his smiles for only brief seconds before turning back to a stone cold expression the minute he was out of sight of the cameras and fans, almost like, they lost their initial meaning.

No one saw Namjoon running back in forth , phone always in hand and with a panicked look on his face, always paranoid someone is listening on their conversations. Oh, it's so terrible the look on his face, so terrible...

Yoongi has been nursing suspicious smelling drinks for the past week and hasn't even bothered to contact the managers to refill his prescriptions. He and the rest of the members haven't made decent eye contact that doesn't make them all want to burst into tears in a month.

And Jimin, poor Jiminie...

Yoongi was his anchor, holding him down and making sure they both were alright, and everyone could tell he was happy with that through the smile on his face. But since, then the smile has vanished and barely leaves remnants of what it used to be behind. Since, then not only he, but Yoongi as well have fallen back into terrible habits they had since left behind before and even after they debuted.

All of them, every single one of them are so close to breaking down in front of all the fans and their managers, even the CEO who has been trying this best to keep an eye on them with his busy schedule.

Tensions are running high and everyone is just ready to break at the word go.

So let's go back and see what exactly got them to this point, yes?

Jimin knows something is wrong when even trying to get up in the morning is just a troubling task.
