"Here, eat this!" Yoongi said cheerfully, letting Jimin have a taste of what he was eating, which was kind of surprising because he'd usually stay silent and he'd rather rest, but now, he was jolly. Jimin chewed on the food happily, a smile on his face as he munched on it with bulging cheeks. His eyesmile was shown once again as he smiled wider as if saying he was thankful to Yoongi, so the older one just gave him a side smile like he was saying, 'No problem.'

Jin whined because he was more special, and because Jimin was his baby, yet, when he gives Jimin food, the younger one wouldn't receive it most of the time, and not only did it worry Jin, but it also hurt his feelings.

"Oh, so you're avoiding me now, huh?" Jin muttered with a pout, his heart shattering. "When he gives you food, you eat it, but if it's me, you don't? I'm hurt," he continued, his pout more visible, but all of them just laughed it off, Jimin smiling as he nudged Jin's arm.

"Come on now, Jin hyung. Don't be like that, here, feed me now, I'll eat whatever you give me," Jimin opened his mouth, making Jin squeal as he clapped his hands, digging from his bowl of food as he brought it closer to Jimin's lips. "Now open your sexy lips and say 'Ahhh~' baby Jimin!"

"Oh, my God, he's not a baby," Hoseok groaned which caused laughter all around the table, but he was kidding and they knew it. Hoseok just looked at Jimin with a smile, as he gave a sigh of contentment. He didn't know why Jimin looked like he was so fragile, but that only made Hoseok want to take care of him more. Jimin was so precious that he didn't want anyone to break the boy who was munching on his food happily.

As Yoongi fed Jimin more, Taehyung, all of a sudden, stood up from his chair, shocking everyone.

"No, Jimin, spit that out! Here, take my rice! It tastes better than Yoongi's!" Taehyung exclaimed, glaring at Yoongi who just rolled his eyes, happy that Jimin was enjoying the food he was chewing on. He liked seeing Jimin eat. "JIMIN, I SAID SPIT THAT OUT!" Taehyung fake cried this time, making Jungkook console him as Taehyung wrapped his arms around the younger one, complaining how Jimin didn't love him anymore because he loved Yoongi more than him now.

"You guys are so stupid, here, Jimin, take my noodles instead," Namjoon gave Jimin a breathtaking smile as his dimples were showing, and Jimin couldn't help but smile wider. Jin pretended to barf because Jimin was his baby. He was the mother of the group!

"I love you guys, I won't spit this out because seriously, it's not good to spit food out," Jimin smiled, but noticing that he said that, he stopped. Who was he to say this? He'd been starving, he'd vomit his food out, and now he talks about not spitting food out because it's not good?

Who was he kidding?

"Are you alright?" Yoongi asked, concerned, as he set aside the hair strands that were covering Jimin's face, to the side, just to see him better. Yoongi, going closer to Jimin's face, inspected him to see if he was crying or not. He wasn't that good when it came to showing his emotions because he'd rather write them down on a piece of paper, but now that Jimin had his head low, he felt uneasy, and he didn't know what to do but bring Jimin closer to him. "Jimin, what's wrong?"

"I...I just," Jimin stuttered, but he couldn't say anything.

He couldn't tell them he was starving himself.

Jimin knew very well that they were suspecting him of doing such things, but he also knew that they were waiting for him to tell them that what the teacher said was true, and that he'd been starving. He didn't want them to know that he avoided eating food at all costs because he didn't like seeing himself in the mirror every single day looking hideous. He couldn't stand seeing himself. He wasn't good enough.

Namjoon, Jin, Taehyung and everyone forced themselves to believe that Jimin wasn't starving. They decided to get blinded by the truth because their happy, smiley Jimin wouldn't do such a thing.

Anyone but Jimin.

He felt Yoongi put his arm around his waist and it felt different, but he couldn't bring himself to continue his sentence without stuttering. That only made Yoongi more worried.

Only Jungkook knew that he'd been starving.

"I don't know...I-I just, I haven't been well," he lied, noticing how only Jin's whines echoed in his ears, along with Namjoon who tried to calm Jin down with a silent, "Don't worry, Jin, I'll eat that if Jimin doesn't want to munch that down," referring to the food Jin was currently holding in his hand, but not a second later, he heard Namjoon letting out a laugh as Jin wiped the sauce off of the side of his mouth with a smile.

Taehyung groaned seeing those two together, but that only made him grip onto Jungkook's shirt tighter as he laid his head on the younger one's shoulder, saying, "Jungkook, feed me, too."

The moment Jimin heard that, his ears perked up and he brought his head up just to glance at the sight in front of him.

Smiling with his head still on Jungkook's shoulder, Taehyung looked up at Jungkook lovingly and opened his mouth for the younger one to feed him. Grabbing a spoonful of food, Jungkook fed the older one as he chewed on it happily, poking Jungkook's left cheek as the younger one smiled at him, his pearly whites showing.

He didn't know why, but Jimin felt a pang in his heart, but he thought that maybe it was because he didn't get enough sleep, and now his body was aching.

His chest was hurting.

Why were Taehyung and Jungkook enjoying each other's company while his chest was burning?

Why were they smiling and he wasn't?

Then Jimin went back to his senses and realized Yoongi's grip on him tightened, so facing the older one, Jimin said, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yoongi didn't say anything, not until Jimin asked him once again.

"It's just that you look so bothered. Seriously, Jimin, is there something bugging you?"

"N-No, of course not. What...what are you on about? I'm just...I'm just....my stomach- it's-"

"-Jimin, Jimin, look at me," Namjoon placed his fingers on Jimin's chin for him to look up at him, when he noticed Jimin stuttering more than usual, panic and tears in his eyes, but Jimin didn't dare let them fall. "Do you want to go home? I can skip school and bring you home."

"JIMIN, OH, NO, IS YOUR STOMACH HURTING? DO YOU WANT TO USE THE RESTROOM? HOW ABOUT- OUCH!" Taehyung winced in pain as Hoseok gave him a light slap on the leg, indicating for him to stop because he was literally saying it out loud. "WHAT? WHAT DID I DO WRONG?" Taehyung whined somemore, displeased as he put on a pout.

"If someone wants to go to the restroom to do their business, you don't have to say it out loud," Hoseok sighed, frustrated, and Taehyung immediately nodded, finally understanding, but that didn't stop him from looking at Jimin with worry written all over his face. He couldn't stand seeing Jimin like this.

"I can bring him home," Yoongi suggested, a small smile on his face as he stood up from where they were sitting, a hand gently holding Jimin's arm as Jimin also stood up, his head down, not wanting his head to throb more, not wanting his eyes to land on the two youngest people in the group.

"Yoongi hyung, I'm fine, I...I-I think I just need some time alone, I mean, I think I just need to have some fresh air," Jimin struggled to say, letting all of them look at him with wide eyes, full of concern. "Really. I'm fine."

Before his eyes would turn even more red, he dashed out of the cafeteria in a hurry, hearing Taehyung call out to him with a loud, "Jimin! Jimin! Wait for me!"

But he didn't want to wait.

Eventhough he heard Jungkook call his name.

It just hurt.
