Jimin brushes the sticky sand from his pants to avoid being scolded for it later and he takes the seat beside Seokjin. "It's just,"

"The thing with Yugyeom?"

"Yeah. Kind of."

"Kind of?"

Jimin is quiet, long enough for Seokjin to grow impatient for an answer.

"Jiminie, just tell me what you're thinking about. You'll feel better to share."

"Yeah." Jimin trails off, but he takes a deep breath after a moment and his fingers find the warm sand again. "I don't want Jungkook to fight with him." He mutters.

"Oh." Seokjin nods. "That's what you're stressing over by yourself?"

Jimin hums. "Mostly, yeah."

"That's unnecessary."

"Thanks, now I feel all better." Sarcasm is thick on his tongue.

Seokjin chuckles softly. He sighs. "I swear, you two are always pressed about silly things. If Jungkook hits that kid, it's only because he loves you and wants to stop seeing you tormented by him."

"I get that, but I hate how adamant about it he is. He really wants to hit him."

"If you ask me, he deserves it."

"I know, but I don't want to see that!"

"Then close your eyes, Jiminie."

"Hyung." Jimin rolls his eyes. "Really, what kind of advise is that?"

"Good advise. You need to hear it. Jungkook just wants all of it to be over with and hitting that imbecile right in his face might not be the greatest plan, but what do I know? Maybe it'll work." Seokjin pauses to shake his head. "Ah, you just worry so much. Jungkook will be just fine, stop worrying over little things like if Yugyeoms face will hurt his hand or something."

"I'm not worried about that, hyung. God." Jimin whines. He wraps his arms around his knees and pulls them closer to his chest. "He would win that fight. It's just that, I feel like he's determined to fight with him to prove something. Jungkook doesn't need to prove anything to me. I know he's faithful and I'm not worried about anything like that. That's why fighting, it's pointless."

"You're thinking about it too much. You are. Jungkook wants him to leave you alone."

"I want him to leave Jungkook alone! He wants Jungkook, not me!"

"But he's tormenting you!"

"Aish, Jin." Jimin groans. "This is why I just want to be by myself. Nobody understands. Everyone thinks it's just perfectly alright if he hits Yugyeom, but I just," he stops, feeling a prick behind his eyes and he sucks in a painfully sharp breath. "I just feel like it will make everything worse. Can you imagine what a person like him, like Yugyeom, would do with that kind of leverage?"

"What can he do?" Seokjin argues. "He's committing a crime, I'm positive that he's committing it as we speak. He's a stalker from what I've heard, that's a crime! If Jungkook lays a hand on him, nothing is going to happen to him."
