Namjoon looked at the clock, and it was exactly 4pm. He had been lying on the sofa for the past one hour, using his phone, while waiting for someone to offer him some food or just ask him for late lunch.

However, no, their house today was being exceptionally quiet. Ever since the two patients came back from the hospital in the morning, till Jin having a long talk with Jimin, everyone had locked themselves in the room, without food!

Dialling Taehyung's number, Namjoon waited for him to pick it up before shouting, "Taehyung ah!! Come out, I...ah...I'm having a heart attack!"

"W-wae hyung, what happened?"

"Ahhh! Just come out to the living room!! Bring Hoseok too!"

Within a second, his two anxious dongsaengs stopped their video game and rushed to the living room.

"WHAT HAPPENED?" the two exclaimed.

"Aniya," Namjoon smiled embarrassingly, "I'm fine now."

V: I...I thought you were having a heart attack hyung?

RM: Aniya, it...it went back.

V: O-oh...so?

RM: Anyway, do you guys know what time it is?

V: It must be party time!!

RM: Seriously?

JH: Hmmm...4pm.

RM: So...? We ate breakfast at like 9 and don't tell me you guys are still digesting your ramen.

V: Aniyo, but we ate some biscuits just now, Hoseok hyung hid some-

JH: Shhhh! Yah Kim Taehyung, that was supposed to be OUR little secret.

RM: Damn you two, I'm like straving here waitng for Jin hyung to cook something...I can feel my fats melting away now.

V: Get straight to your point hyung.

RM: Let's go out and do something, the seven of us. Spending our rest day at home is just not right.

JH: But...did you forgot about the complex situation we have involving the three...?

RM: Aniyo.

V: Wait...why not...let's go out and try out Namjoon hyung's idea at the same time?

RM: Y-you mean THAT idea...

V: Ne, it's worth a try.

JH: Alright then.

After a fifteen minutes drive, the seven of them arrived at a shopping mall near their house. As Namjoon expected, it wasn't crowded at all, mainly because its a weekday and it's still early before the students are dismissed.

Meal time at a BBQ shop was extremely quiet. The awkwardness started the moment when they entered the shop. Yoongi chose the extreme corner seat, followed by Jungkook who sat diagonally opposite him. Jimin, on the other hand, positioned himself far away from those two, leaving the rest of the members to fill in the spaces in between.

Jin tried to lighten the atmosphere by saying some dad jokes, for which only Hoseok gave some reaction. Taehyung was busy whispering to Kookie, asking the maknae every few seconds, "Gwenchana? Is the food okay? Tell hyung if you want any food."

And there's Yoongi, quietly munching his meat, secretly believing that if you chew for 30 seconds, the food you digested would not become fat.

Namjoon, who was sitting in front of Jimin, stared at his dongsaeng in silence. The usual Jimin would be laughing at anything he sees, with half of his mouth full of food while he puts more meat into the others bowl. However, for today, he didn't even touch his chopsticks.

The pieces of meat that Jin gave him just kept piling up. His eyes were fixated on the bowl of rice, his soul is obviously not there, and Namjoon worried that this situation would last forever.

He scanned across the table, Suga shouldn't be so quiet during meal time, Jungkook shouldn't be so normal when he's talking to Tae, and Jimin shouldn't be not smiling when he's with the members. Thing shouldn't stay like this. There's something he should do.

"I don't know who to choose, hyung, I don't any one of them to get hurt," Namjoon recalled what Jimin said just now. He knows that his dongsaeng is struggling, and he wants to help, in one way or another.

Thus, while Jin was in the midst of telling his last lame joke for the day, Namjoon knocked the table twice to draw his members' attention.

RM: Hey hey.

Jin: *side-eyed RM* Wae yo? I'm getting to the interesting part.

RM: Are we done eating?

V: Hmm...pretty much.

At this moment, Namjoon faked a cough and made eye contact with his two accomplices. Taehyung immediately got the message and turned to Jungkook before whispering, "Kookie, can you buy a cup of iced Americano for hyung? I'm thirsty."

"But...why can't you buy it yourself?"

"Uhh I...I forgot to bring my wallet today, just help me buy from that cafe down the street, pleaseee?"

Jungkook had no choice but to listen to his hyung and went out of the shop. Meanwhile, J-hope didn't even need to rack his brain to shoo Suga away, he had already excuse himself to the toilet. Now, with the two lead characters absent, as what instructed by Namjoon, the rest of them looked at Jimin with a sneakily smile.

JM: W-wae yo? W-why are you guys looking at me like this?

RM: As Bangtan's leader, I'll like to call for an emergency meeting. Right now.

Jin: MWO?!? Wae yo? Did something serious happened?

RM: Uhh you can say that~ Something happened to our members.

Without even Namjoon to explain further, Jimin could sense that sentence directing to him as he slowly lower down his head. The five of them gathered their heads to the centre as they listened to Namjoon's perfect plan. 

RM: We heard your conversation with Jin hyung just now, Jimin.

JH: About how conflicted you are right now and don't know who to choose. 

RM: But...the longer you drag this, the tougher this situation is gonna become. 

JM: I know hyung, I know...

Jin: So when do you think you can make a decision? 

JM: I...I...I don't know...

Jin shook his head as he patted on his dongsaeng's back, "I know things are tough for you...I, too, feel bad to force you to make a decision now, but-"

"I don't know I don't know," Jimin sighed as he grabbed onto a handful of hair, "I'm feeling so horrible now."

"Mianhe Jimin ah," Jin looked at his son with a worried look, "as much as I want to help you, there's really nothing hyung can do this time round, I-"

"Ani," V cut in which attracted the attention of the rest, "with the help of Namjoon hyung's IQ of 148, we came out with something great to help you!"

Jimin: Huh?!?

Jin: You're not gonna let Yoongi and Kookie play scissors-paper-stone or just flip a coin or whatsoever...right? 

V: Ayyy how can you look down Namjoon hyung's sexy brain? He's a genius for a reason~

JM: Mwo? H-how? 

RM: Hmm...do you believe in fate? 

JM: Huh? Errr...I don't know. 

RM: Well, God has things planned out for everyone. And loving both Jungkook and Yoongi hyung is something that is bound to happen in your life, and the next chapter in life, is to choose the right one and love him to the fullest. 

V: But the question is...who is your Mr Right? 

Jin: And that's the question Jiminie have not answered it yet. 

RM: That's why we decided to step in and help, through a small game. 

JM: Ettokae~

"So Jimin," Namjoon explained, "We will play a little game about fate. We will pretend that we're going to split up and shop for an hour after dinner. The seven of us will walk in all different direction and will meet up one hour later. So during this period, in this area, what's the possibility of you meeting one of us if we do not contact each other?"

"Err...unlikely, this place is so huge and confusing."

"And what if we coincidentally meet each other along some random walkway?"

"Wow, that must be fated!"

"That's right! Since you can't make a choice, then let god decide. Either Kookie or Yoongi hyung...fate will bring you two together."

"So...what should I do?"

"Just follow your heart as you walk on the streets," the leader smiled as he pointed to his left chest, "Here. This will bring you to your true love, trust me."

JH: Sounds pretty legit huh!

V: Always rely on Namjoon hyung's brain guys!!

RM: You have one hour to find your other fated half!

V: And bring him to meet us one hour later, alright?

A/N: Very sorry if this is bad~ I rewrote it at least five times and this is the best I can come up with...

Anyways, there's still few more chapters to the end!! can't bear to end this story tho :((
