"at least drink some water, please?"

yoongi sat at the kitchen table with jimin beside him, a cup of water sitting on the table in front of them, jimin all the while refusing to drink it.

"i can't."

"why?"

"i just can't."

yoongi took his left arm and wrapped it around the small, fragile boy.

he felt a small part of his heart crumble when his fingers wrapped around jimin's spine and brush against his prominent ribcage.

and jimin felt his heart break once more at the sight of fresh cuts on yoongi's wrist.

"you hurt yourself again."

"but so did you."
