Jungkook does his best to return Seokjin's smile, though it's not without a slight tightness in his chest. There's nothing wrong in any of what Seokjin said. Not all matters should be handled alone. Not all burdens should be carried alone. Sometimes, all that it takes to make something bearable is for the weight to be shared between a few people.

Still, Jungkook can't help but look at Seokjin's expression and know that he did that — he dimmed the happiness that was there when Seokjin first peeked his head inside. He caused the worry that's just behind the gaze.

"I guess I just didn't want to be that burden for anyone else," Jungkook says quietly before taking another bite of juk.
