Chapter Text

Beomgyu sat in the artist lounge waiting for Taehyung to come and collect him. He was mindlessly scrolling through social media to pass the time after saying goodbye to his other members. They had finally gotten a week long holiday which they decided to spend the time at home with their families. Beomgyu was going to go home with Taehyung and Yoongi after a long discussion they’d shared not long ago upon finding out both teams had aligned holidays. The three of them hadn't really spent this much time alone and Beomgyu didn't know what to expect of this trip but he was excited nonetheless. He remembers how shy he used to be when they started to hang out or catch up. But over time they all got closer and shared a bond that was stronger than anyone anticipated. Learning that they were all neighbours was definitely a blessing in disguise.

It wasn’t long before Taehyung arrived, a large smile on his face. He pulled Beomgyu up into a hug and linked arms instantly as they made their way to Yoongi’s studio. Taehyung was wearing a simple black and white outfit with a loose brown cardigan. It perfectly matched the brown zip up he had thrown on over his white top. The beautiful spring air was quickly warming up into the transition to summer, but the mornings still blessed them with a soothing chilly breeze. In Yoongi’s studio they found him hunched over his laptop, headphones in, working.  Taehyung slid over to him, pouncing on his shoulders lightly but no reaction came from the older man.

“Hey guys. Give me 10 minutes and I’ll be finished. I can’t stop right now, I’ve caught a flow I need to put down.” He said in a calm voice, “Also I heard you two giggling when you came in.” He turned his head to flash them a small smirk.  While the two youngest waited on Yoongi, Beomgyu settled next to Taehyung on the sofa scrolling through their phones, talking about all the things they plan to do when they get home. It didn’t take long before the trio were leaving the building with a basket containing the members' favourite snacks and drinks prepared by Seokjin and Taehyun.

They had decided to travel by car, to take in the scenery and enjoy the trip alone.  "Beomgyu-ssi can you pass me the bag of mandarins please?" Taehyung asked. He began peeling a couple and feeding Yoongi who was driving them. "Ah, you too. Open wide!" He said, leaning back to pop a segment into the maknae's mouth. The journey wasn't too long, roughly 3 hours, which the boys spent talking about new music and both band's upcoming plans. Suddenly, Beomgyu wondered if they were going to spend time with each other while visiting family. He would miss his hyungs. But he totally understood if they wanted to use the time to their advantage. "You okay Gyu? You’re a little quiet." Yoongi asked as he peeked at the younger one in the rear view mirror. Beomgyu was gazing out the window deep in thought and hadn’t realised he had gone silent amongst the conversations flowing.

"I was just wondering, once we’re home do you guys maybe want to meet up with our families? I was curious because I know my parents are curious about you guys, but if not it's okay. It wouldn’t be for long though, and only if you want to." He asked quietly, afraid of the possibility of getting rejected. Yoongi glanced at Taehyung for a brief second. "Well I didn't have anything massive planned so maybe. But it'd just be me and my parents. What about you Tae?”

“Sounds like a lovely idea actually. I’ll ask my mum but I think we were planning to have a picnic at the park. She found this beautiful area where we can all sit and eat."Taehyung exclaimed, clearly excited with the idea. He thought of all the fun activities they could do and how cute it would be once their mums got to catch up. Yoongi snuck another glance back at Beomgyu, who was now deeply immersed in Taehyung’s excitement. Just seeing the growing smile on Beomgyu’s face made Yoongi's heart swell.

About halfway into the trip the boys took a pit stop at a service station. Taehyung and Beomgyu had passed out long ago, leaving Yoongi in a comfortable silence. Deciding they would all benefit from a bathroom break and walk about he turned in his seat to wake them gently. When they hit the road again, fully refreshed and with newfound energy Taehyung took the wheel with Yoongi in his seat and Beomgyu, all comfy in the back. Because they had left early in the morning they got to watch the cities wake up. It did mean that traffic got heavier as they got closer to Daegu but it was definitely worth travelling altogether.  

To pass time Beomgyu helped Taehyung  create a playlist on his phone with a mixture of indie, bossa nova and jazz music they both liked for moments alone they spent together. Yoongi had almost instantly fallen asleep to the peaceful music, clearly tired from the being up so early. From where Beomgyu sat in the middle, he had easy access to the phone and the perfect view of both his hyungs. He spotted Taehyung had rested his large hand on Yoongi's lap, slowly caressing it. Yoongi didn't wake up from the action and it seemed to be something Taehyung was doing absentmindedly. Beomgyu found the simple action cute, reminding him of how close his hyungs were and even how close he was with his members.

They had about half an hour left when they made another pit stop at a gas station. Beomgyu left for the toilet and bought some water on his way back. As he entered the car he was surprised by the sight in front of him. Yoongi was now awake and he was pulling out of a slow kiss with Taehyung. "Oh, sorry." Beomgyu mumbled on instinct, feeling embarrassed that he interrupted. To his surprise Taehyung whipped around in his chair and flashed a boxy smile. "Don't worry, there are plenty of kisses left for you." Yoongi instantly smacked his leg, his ears slightly flushed. Beomgyu just starred with wide eyes. But before he could sit back and reach for his belt Taehyung leaned over the middle console and grabbed him by the chin.

With a large hand under his chin, pulling him closer, Taehyung pressed his lips gently against Beomgyu's lips, lingering for a few seconds before letting go and turning back in his seat. Shocked, Beomgyu brought his hand to his lips where he felt tingles. Instant heat creeped up his neck and ears. His heart thumped loudly in his chest. "Alright, let’s go, not long left.” Taehyung announced, a smile on his face and clearly not a care in the world. Yoongi seemed oblivious but Beomgyu was still shocked. He traced his lips, feeling a ghost of his hyung’s.

Beomgyu fumbled to quickly put on his belt still gripping those bottles of water in his arm. "I-I bought some water, if you wanted one." He announced timidly. Taehyung reached his hand back to take one with a simple ‘thanks’ as Yoongi turned in his chair. "Thanks Gyu. Next time, ask for my card." His hand lingered on the smaller one as he stared into his eyes with a knowing smile. Maybe he was aware. Probably not, but what if he knew. The memory of catching his hyung’s sharing a kiss flashed quickly in his mind. Suddenly, confusion grew in his mind. As much as he felt guilty, he couldn’t help but feel discombobulated at the strange turn of events. 

To say Beomgyu was quiet the entire car ride was an understatement. He was so far deep in thoughts he didn't hear when his hyungs announced that they arrived at his house. He jolted when he felt a hand brush his thigh and turned to look in front of him where Taehyung had reached back. "Let's go." He smiled. The two oldest walked Beomgyu to the door where his mother greeted them all. Her first reaction was to laugh, joy filling her soft features, explaining how all they were missing was Goldilocks. Beomgyu frowned in confusion, looking at his hyungs. The three boys were all rocking soft brown outfits and unmade hair making them look like bears. She tried to invite them in with the offer of something to drink but the two kindly declined. All the while Beomgyu stood in the middle, silent, even as the topic of the family picnic arose.  

The goodbyes were short but full of warmth. Taehyung engulfed him in a tight squeeze while Yoongi opted for a short hug and ruffled the back of his hair. Beomgyu felt his cheeks flush with warmth. His mum simply laughed and waved goodbye to the older men and pulled her son inside. He was so glad to be home. He hadn't realised how much he had missed his mother until she pulled him in her arms and cradled him close. This was going to be a long day but one he had anticipated for a very long time. He immediately took in the familiar aromas and sights of his childhood home. His mother rocked him tightly, a hand soothing down his silky hair.

-The next day- 

Beomgyu looked around him with wide curious eyes. He was sitting in the middle of his hyungs as their parents and his brother conversed. He watched them talk as though they had known each other all their lives. He noticed how strikingly similar Taehyung looked to his father and Yoongi to his mother. They each features so similar yet individually unique, all of them  beautiful. Of course he knew his hyungs were handsome but not how beautiful they were until recently.

He popped a strawberry into his mouth and moaned at the sweetness. This caught the attention of Taehyung who rubbed his back and offered him another, to which he gladly accepted. They hadn’t spoken much but shared small glances and smiles every now and again which warmed his heart. He enjoyed spending this time with each other. And he was so proud of himself for coming up with this great idea. The atmosphere was peaceful, the scenery was indeed gorgeous and the food was delicious.

Beomgyu looked at his brother who was deep in conversation with Yoongi. Much to his surprise they were discussing him , but when he tried to listen in, his brother caught him and raised his eyebrows once, a smirk on his face. This made Yoongi turn around and look at him. "You okay?" He asked.  Beomgyu just nodded and looked away to find more fruit to munch on. He felt a large soft hand touch his bare knee.

He smiled to himself. This was nice. He knew his hyung wasn't too keen on physical touch, let alone public displays of affection but the small efforts he made truly warmed his soul. When the picnic came to an end Yoongi invited Taehyung and Beomgyu to his house to relax. The weather was warm and sunny, a gentle breeze passed making Beomgyu shiver. Now he was going to be alone with them, he felt anxious. It wasn’t like he had forgotten the events which happened the day before, how could he? It was just something he didn’t want to think about until he needed to. Because he too often overthought things which sometimes didn’t need too much attention. 

Not to say that this was something that didn’t need attention. It was quite the opposite actually, but it scared Beomgyu. To even spend a single thought on why he was kissed frightened him. And he didn’t want to brush it off as simple affection either; it just simply wasn’t. And so with every fibre in his body he tried to ignore everything. Even if his internal battle was raging on, he’d do his best to appear calm and relaxed. Especially now they were all sitting on the wooden swing chair in Yoongi’s garden, Beomgyu in the middle, Yoongi on his right, Taehyung on his left.

Beomgyu anticipated the moment one of his hyung’s would even speak.

Chapter Text

"Do you think you can keep a secret for us?" 

That wasn't what Beomgyu had expected to hear and if it showed on his face then his hyungs didn't show any signs of acknowledgement. He frowned but nodded regardless, intrigued by the question. “Me and Yoongi are dating. We have been for about a year now and we wanted to let you know.” Taehyung continued. Beomgyu nodded.  This all made sense, but he still couldn’t help but feel like he was going to receive a much bigger secret than he was bargaining. Regardless, he let them continue, allowing the sinking feeling to settle into his stomach.

"We thought now would be the best time as we are away from work and we’ve spent a bit of time together. We should just be honest with our intentions and because we trust you with this." Yoongi spoke up as he played with a blade of grass with his free hand. “I don’t want to drag this on, it’s a little harder to say than I thought. But me and Tae are in a relationship with one another. We have been for a couple years now.”

Beomgyu felt his heart freeze. He didn't know how to process this information. He genuinely didn’t know how to respond either."B-but you kissed me!" It slipped out of his mouth the second the thought came to mind. And immediately after he regretted it, slapping his sticky hand to his face. Taehyung just laughed. "Yeah I did!" He seemed oddly proud. Yoongi didn’t  wait a second before speaking up.

"And you shouldn't have yet." Yoongi said, his tone sharp. Beomgyu felt bad. He didn’t know why his hyung had kissed him and he didn't want to get in between their relationship, but it was sweet and he would be lying if he said that he didn't think about it after it happened. "Look Gyu, you did nothing wrong so don't worry or work yourself up, okay. Anyway, we might as well discuss it." He turned towards Beomgyu with a soft smile. No form of hate or anger present on his face.

Yoongi looked at Taehyung as if to prompt him to continue. Taehyung reached forward to place a hand on Beomgyu's knee. "We were speaking and we noticed how we've been thinking of you a lot more. Like more than a friend or younger brother. We spent a lot of time talking about this together. It was just something we thought we could open up to you about because you're just so cute and charming and-"

“And well, we’re both  interested in you.” Yoongi cut him off. "And we weren't going to act upon anything, not for a while at least, but then he kissed you and now we are having this conversation. So basically we both are attracted to you and now you know. Deal with it as you wish. But don’t feel as though we are forcing this onto you. We do understand that you may not feel that way to us at all and that’s totally okay.”

“We can still be just your two Daegu hyungs though, if that’s all you want.” Taehyung added. To say Beomgyu was flustered was an understatement of the century. Both of his hyungs just confessed to being in a relationship with one another and then proceeded to admit they had feelings for him. Little ol' Beomgyu. Him. They liked him . Beomgyu looked at his fingers in his lap. What was he supposed to do with this information? He hadn't ever been confessed to before and this was all new to him. Beomgyu was unsure why but he felt a little embarrassed. As he mumbled quietly, "Um." He didn't know whether to thank them or apologise. Heck, he didn't even know if he could return their feelings. He'd never ever thought of them like that before. "I've never really seen you hyungs that way before, so I don't know what to say."

"It's okay. We expected that. Just, keep it in the back of your mind and if you wanna act upon it then go ahead. Plus we are always here if you have questions." Taehyung said. He patted Beomgyu's knee, Yoongi putting his arm around his shoulder, tapping it gently. They spent a couple more hours outside, rocking back and forth on the swing. He tried to understand what his hyungs had told him but all he could think of was, did he even think of his hyungs that way? He wondered what they could possibly see in him. Beomgyu wanted to ask but before he could open his mouth to let in some air Taehyung’s Dad popped his head out the back door and reminded them of the time.

The car journey back to Beomgyu’s house was filled with silence. It was now after 5 and the boys didn't want Beomgyu to spend all his time away from his family. The atmosphere in the car was stifling Beomgyu. Despite the low music they were more quiet than usual. Yoongi had tried to spark up conversations only to hear awkward few word answers or hums as a response. Beomgyu was too stuck in his head to even feel rude for not even listening to anything his hyung may have asked him or said.

Before Beomgyu could leave, Yoongi turned around in his seat . "Beomgyu, I won't apologise for our confession.  Even though maybe the timing could have been better, so I guess we’re sorry for the abruptness of this all. However, if you decide you don't feel the same then let us know and we will get over it. But if you ever feel otherwise don't feel scared to let us know." He gave a soft smile, honest with his words and patient in his intentions. “We are here for you regardless.”

"Yeah. Please don't feel obliged to do anything though. It's all your call. Plus we are all adults here so even if you do reject us, we won't turn evil and stop talking to you. We're the Daegu Boys. We're in this for life." Taehyung added as he gave a boxy grin. Beomgyu felt significantly better. The reassurance left him feeling better, knowing that they were being patient and even anticipated a rejection with open arms was relieving; no pressure to answer them instantly or the obligation to give them a positive response on the spot. "Okay, thanks hyungs. I'll give this some thought. Thanks for telling me I guess." He reached forward to give them a hug before stepping out of the car. This time the two older stayed seated and waited till the youngest was safe inside before leaving.

"Tae, you don't think we scared him do you?" Yoongi asked, backing out of the drive. Taehyung hummed in thought. It wasn't unlikely but he didn't want to panic his already anxious hyung. "No baby. We gave him time and space and options so it's not like we are forcing anything onto him." Taehyung placed a hand on Yoongi's thigh and gave a gentle squeeze before placing a kiss on his cheek.

-hours later-

Beomgyu stared at the Tubatu group chat as he broke out in a cold sweat. 'If two people you really respect confessed to having a crush on you what would you say?' His thumb hovered over the send button. He froze when he noticed Soobin came online and the little dots appeared under his name.

SB:You okay Gyu? Or is this a butt-text again..

He contemplated deleting his message and pretending he butt-texted them again. But then he would go crazy with all the thoughts swirling around his head. So without backing out he sent the sort of cryptic message and waited, biting the hangnail on his left thumb. Yeonjun would definitely  give him an earful if he made this a habit.

SB: Um I don't know. It depends on how much you like them, I guess.

SB: Maybe try to decipher what you like about them.

Sounded like a mix between something Soobin and Taehyun would say. And right on cue;

SB: Tae's with me btw.

YJ: Do you need to video call?

And before he could reply to Yeonjun, his name suddenly popped up, his phone vibrated with an upcoming video call that took up his entire screen. He swiftly minimised it and typed in the chat that he didn't need to call them and it was nothing to worry about anymore. He tossed his phone across his bed and left his room to wash his face.

It had been a long day and when he had got home after his hyungs dropped him off his older brother began teasing him for spending time with them again. He hadn't noticed until now how much they had made him on edge. They had gotten so comfortable around each other that he just thought it was admiration, but he’d gotten defensive when his brother teased.

And it's not like he had meant it when he slightly raised his voice, but he simply couldn’t help it. It didn’t that he knew his Daegu hyungs were defensive of him too. But so were the rest of Bangtan. They adored TXT, and cherished every moment together. They were the big brothers with the instincts to protect, tease and adore. It was just how it worked. How it always had.

Beomgyu couldn’t help but to think back to when Taehyung had kissed him. It still wandered through his mind. The tenderness of Taehyung’s lips against his own. He realised how often he found himself staring at his hyung’s lips. They were full and pretty and he wished he could kiss them again. Then he thought of Yoongi's lips. They were thinner, but they were always so rosy and so pretty and he bet it felt equally as good.

Beomgyu slapped his face. He looked in the mirror and stared hard at his reflection, his cheek reddening by the seconds. He needed to get himself together. This was not normal. He had never thought of his sunbaes like this before so why now. Part of him hated how nice it felt though. And truthfully they were the ones who said they were attracted to him. For what reason he couldn't tell. That part still caught him off guard. He couldn’t possibly think what would make them see him as someone fit for their relationship.

His father's voice calling him down to watch a movie jolted him out of his thoughts. He would have to put this on hold before his brain exploded.

Chapter Text

Yoongi sat and watched Taehyung carry Beomgyu on his back. They just finished training in the dance studio for a new show about the idol groups under BigHit. The show would highlight the  members' bonding over dance challenges, rap battles and singing contests. After seeing many fans love when the two groups integrated, it became a wick project they put together while the groups could promote their work and have fun together.

Taehyung ran around the dance room, clearly full of energy. Yoongi was glad that there wasn't any awkward tension between them and the younger one due to their confession. It had been almost a week and while Beomgyu hadn't responded yet they still held their hopes up. It wasn’t like they were desperate, like they told Beomgyu, it wasn’t a big deal if he didn’t reciprocate their feelings. But they loved hanging around him. He made them feel like they were back in the beginning of their relationship; giddy and so content with just existing around him.

"Come on hyung! You don't want to make yourself sick. Put me down!" Beomgyu laughed as Taehyung spun round with him glued to the order's back. Beomgyu gripped tighter to his body, squeezing his thighs against his waist and arms around his neck, burying his head in the crook of his neck. When Taehyung finally let Beomgyu down they stood in front of Yoongi with tired but happy smiles. Two little bears. Hopefully both could be his soon. Yoongi reached up so they could help him stand. "Okay, so I messaged the others and it's either Bulgogi Jjigae or Jajangmyeon, but either way we need some stuff from the store. Apart from that we're all sorted."

They all made their way to the Bangtan apartment where Beomgyu was staying over for dinner.  Initially the plan was that after filming all day the BTS members would go home for food and had invited the TXT members to join. But unfortunately they kindly declined due to their busier schedules. Beomgyu had finished first with his extra tasks, having Yoongi and Taehyung wait for him in the process. He was excited to be spending time with his hyungs but he was a little nervous. He hadn't had dinner with all seven of them on his own before and he was feeling shy. He didn't need to tell Taehyung and Yoongi for them to know though, because they stuck by his side reassuring him throughout the whole night.

-Time Skip-

Seokjin turned to look next to him where Beomgyu sat with his head flopped back and mouth slightly open. Soft snores escaped his mouth making the eldest chuckle. He recorded Beomgyu secretly and sent the video to Soobin as blackmail. It would come in handy at some point, he was positive.

"Tae come here! Your baby is asleep and you need to take him to his dorm." Seokjin said as he poked his head in the room where the maknaes were playing video games. "And take Yoongi with you before he feels left out,"He added. And with that he made his way to his room with a glass of wine in one hand and his Nintendo Switch in the other.

Taehyung, upon hearing this news raced to the living room where his sleeping baby bear lay. He must have been watching Seokjin playing games on the TV and had dozed off. He was well fed and even had a couple glasses of wine. Taehyung caressed his cheek slowly and brushed his hair behind his ear. Beomgyu, even when deep in slumber, looked flawless.

Taehyung felt warm as he stared at his angelic friend. He tried to shake him awake, tapping his arm lightly and calling his name, but the younger one didn't show any signs of awakening. Taehyung sat next to Beomgyu and reached for one of his hands, tracing shapes on the pale skin. He was almost as pale as Yoongi.

Unconsciously, Beomgyu tightened his grip around Taehyung’s fingers making a small smile grow on the older’s face. They stayed side by side until Yoongi came waddling into the room half awake. "Hey Taehyung-ah, Jin hyung said we have to take Gyu home now. Oh." He walked around the couch to find the two sleeping, heads leaned against one another with mouths slightly open. Only Taehyung's eyes were slightly open, making him look a little less cute.

Yoongi smiled to himself before waking Taehyung up with a gentle kiss to the lips. "Wake up Tae. We can let Gyu have a sleepover. I'll let Jin hyung and Soobin-shi know." He quickly sent a couple texts and put his phone away. Taehyung rubbed his eyes with a groan. He hadn't been sleeping long but it was comfy. "Go get ready for bed and I'll sort out this little one. Go prepare him some pyjamas and a toothbrush."

Still rubbing his eyes Taehyung shuffled along earning a light pat on the butt by Yoongi. Yoongi then focused on Beomgyu, shaking his shoulders and even tickling his sides. But he didn't budge. Yoongi hadn’t seen such a deep sleeper before. He pinched Beomgyu’s nostrils and covered his mouth till he awoke with wide eyes and a gasp. "Damn. Gyu it’s alright. Let's go to bed. You need to get changed and brush your teeth. Come on."

The maknae followed with a small frown when Yoongi led him by the hand, barely awake. In their bathroom they found a sleepy Taehyung dressed in a big shirt and shorts. He was sitting on the toilet brushing his teeth leaning his head against the wall. Yoongi pushed Beomgyu inside and gave him the spare toothbrush. When the trio were all ready for bed Beomgyu felt more awake than before. But despite still being too tired to talk, his mind started to flood with questions.

"Which bed should I sleep in?" He mumbled. The two had a shared room with 2  small double beds, one made neatly as if never used and one with the duvet tossed over it coupled with 2 pillows. Taehyung wordlessly pulled Beomgyu into bed with him and Yoongi pushing him towards the middle. Taehyung squished in and snuggled up to him pushing his face into the youngest's neck. Yoongi lay on the bed facing the two with sleepy eyes. It was a tight fit but it was very cosy. Their limbs intertwined instantly.

While this was shocking for Beomgyu, the most surprising thing was when both of his hyungs reached in and kissed his cheeks before saying good night. Because of this Beomgyu couldn't sleep for ages. He tossed and turned long after the other two were asleep, completely restless. Eventually Beomgyu got up to get a drink. He noticed how the shirt he wore had a cat embroidered in the centre and the shorts he wore had little bears on. The shirt was basically a dress even though he was taller than his hyungs. 

He helped himself to a glass of water and sat by the window with a sleepy gaze staring out into the dark night. He stayed there thinking about what kind of situation he was in. Does he even like it or is he uncomfortable? Well it's obvious he is comfortable, just how much. And how does he feel around his hyungs exactly? Because for all he knows, they have always been very handsome and made his tummy flutter.  But he had always assumed that was just excitement or admiration.

They were both great hyungs and had always shown him they were going to be there for him whenever. There was no doubt about that. But the question of whether he had some sort of crush on them was new unearthed territory that he was surprisingly willing to enter. He supposed the idea of them were attractive enough to delve into his feelings more.

Beomgyu yawned and rubbed his eyes. The clock read 01:05. Time to go back to bed. Beomgyu wasn't sure how long he had spent staring out the window but as he rinsed his glass out he suddenly felt more tired than before. Upon entering the bedroom Beomgyu noticed Taehyung had flung half his body across Yoongi's. He sighed and moved to the empty bed. A part of him felt sad that he couldn't go back and cuddle with them. He always cuddled with his members when he couldn't sleep and now he felt a little alone.

Chapter Text

When Beomgyu woke up he was surprised to find a body wrapped around him. Their leg was wrapped around his and an arm was wrapped around his torso. Beomgyu, who after many evenings and nights spent cuddling with his hyungs, knew this was Taehyung. The familiar feeling of spooning and fluffy hair that tickled his neck because their head was tucked just behind his own. Beomgyu carefully turned around and hugged his hyung, bringing his arms around his shoulder and playing with the soft hair at the back of his head. Taehyung, as always, looked beautiful. So handsome and peaceful as he slept. His hair was so fluffy and one side of his face had creases from the pillow they shared. 

“Morning Gyu. Did you sleep well?” Taehyung grumbled, voice scratchy and deep. It sent tingles down Beomgyu’s spine. Taehyung rubbed a hand on his face and pulled back slightly to look at the younger with a boxy smile. Beomgyu felt his cheeks warm. He bashfully nodded and continued playing with the soft hair at Taehyung’s nape. “Yoongi will come and get us when breakfast is ready. How about we get ready now and into some of his clothes to surprise him.”  Taehyung pulled him up and they made their way through Yoongi’s side of their wardrobe, giggling to one another in hushed whispers.

When Beomgyu sat in the car with his two hyungs, on their way back to his dorm, he felt very grateful for the time he spent but there were thoughts running through his mind that made it very hard to relax. As the car came to a halt in the parking lot of the TXT dorms, Beomgyu hesitated before speaking. “Hyungs, thank you for letting me spend the night with you. I really enjoyed myself. Um, but there is something I wanted to say before I left.” The older two turned in their seats giving the youngest the softest, most encouraging smiles ever. He took a short breath and continued, “Well, I gave your offer some thought and I took that time to really think. B-but I guess what I really want to say is that I’ll give this a go. I really like spending time with you both and I like how you make me feel. O-only if the offer is still up of course!” He rushed at the ending, feeling a deep heat creep up the back of his neck and ears.

“That’s awesome news Gyu! We’re glad you took the time to think before letting us know how you feel.” Yoongi said in his soft deep voice, dialect seeping through making him sound more honest and genuine. Next Taehyung spoke, “Yeah, we’d be honoured to still try this out with you. You’re so cute, you know Gyu?!” He leaned back to ruffle Beomgyu’s hair with his wide boxy grin. Beomgyu felt brave suddenly and so he leaned in between the middle of the front seats and placed a kiss on both male’s cheeks. Yoongi and Taehyung looked at one another with surprised grins.

“Thanks for everything Yoongi hyung and Taehyungie hyung. I’ll see you later.” And without another word he grabbed his things and left unknown to him that his two hyung’s sat in the car giggling to themselves as they watched their smallest cutie quickly scurry away with pink ears. “He really is the one, isn’t he?” Taehyung said, reaching for Yoongi’s hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. They sat there for a few minutes before finally driving off. The sky was a clear light blue with not a cloud in sight. There was a warm breeze that wafted through the open windows and ruffled the duo’s hair.

“Yeah I think he might just be the one.”  

-Time skip-

After getting severely teased throughout the day and finally getting ready for bed Beomgyu sat on his bed and looked at his phone. “I’m really happy for you Gyu, I hope you know that.” Soobin said, chucking himself down next to the smaller. “It takes guts to admit to two of your favourite hyungs that you want to try feeling whatever together and explore new grounds together, so just know that even though we’ve been teasing you today, we as a team, are super proud of you. Especially because we know you’ve been putting this off for literally years .” Soobin pulled Beomgyu in for a hug and squeezed tight. 

“Thanks Binie hyung. That means more than you can imagine. I’ve been wondering if I was doing the right thing but you’ve convinced me that I’ll be just fine following my heart.” He buried his head against Soobin’s chest and hugged his torso extra tightly to show his affection. He really appreciated all the kind words and affection his band members had given him throughout the years. And it was true, he had been kind of obsessing over these two hyungs for a long time. Even if he only truly noticed that until now. He couldn’t believe he tried to chalk it up as admiration. 

“No problem, Beom. Now let’s go to sleep. We have another busy schedule tomorrow.” They lay back in Beomgyu’s bed and stared up at the ceiling where a cluster of plastic glow-in-the-dark stars were stuck, creating a made up constellation Soobin had called their ‘little cluster of happiness’. It took the boys ages to find the right type of double sided tape to stick those semi-permanently without the ceiling paint ripping off or the stars falling back in their faces. It was a cute addition that went unnoticed by the other members who never spent the night in beomgyu’s bed. (They would rather gather in Yeonjun’s room where he had the big double bed all to himself.)

But here was where Soobin and Beomgyu lay, night after night and made memories. Just the two of them, forming their own inside jokes and reflecting on their days. Sharing deep secrets as leader and band mate, but also as two best friends who needed a trusting ear. Beomgyu was so glad to know that his best friend would always be just there, right by his side.

Chapter Text

Beomgyu sat in the back of the van, glued to his phone, transfixed on the many comments and articles consuming his screen. He buckles forward as the van comes to an abrupt halt at a red light, almost colliding with the seat in front of him; the driver launches a quick apology to the members and manager before grumbling about an irresponsible driver ahead of them. Beomgyu shields his phone away from Soobin’s vision, grateful he sat at the back and not in the middle row with the other members, but still paranoid that his hyung could see the dark black Hangul syllables that have stained his brain. 

When Soobin does look his way it’s because he didn’t answer a question from one of the maknae. Beomgyu looks up, a deer in headlights moment, the acknowledgement of the sweat forming in his pits. “Gyu, Kai asked if you were going to the studio first?” Beomgyu looked around for a second to try and remember before mumbling “Probably. Were you going to join me?” He didn’t really care but just asked to seem like he wasn’t mid spiral. It must have been the wrong thing to ask, however, because Soobin looked at him again followed by the other members who gave him an odd glance. 

“Yeah, I am. That’s why I asked hyung.” Kai simply stated with a small smile. The van was quiet for a while after that. Beomgyu shrugged it off before looking back at his phone, which was gripped in a fist, knuckles turning white. The page was still up where he scanned the many comments under the article. He knew this was something to be concerned about but having read it rather than only hear it was what confirmed his fears. And he knew he couldn’t speak to any of his members about it either. 

“Gyu are you okay?” Soobin whispered to him, leaning in close. Beomgyu turned off his phone and stared into Soobin’s eyes. Big and dark, full of so much concern and maybe even a little amusement. Beomgyu couldn’t help but nod and smile. If he couldn’t say anything then he would just have to pretend. “Okay good. Whatever you were reading on your phone must have been very interesting. But don’t sink into any weird loopholes please. I need my best friend to be his usual self today.” He said this with his usual bunny smile and patted the younger’s knee for added reassurance.  

But Beomgyu could still feel the sinking hole in his body. The memory of what he had been told combined with what was already out there for the internet to see pained him. He was so conflicted it made him nervous. He knew that he shouldn’t have been reading this kind of stuff online. But a part of him, a darker more sadder side agreed with the comments and articles. It was so hard not to give in to those feelings and that was something which consumed most of his energy when he wasn’t working.

What really surprised him though, was the lack of positivity. He barely saw a comment backing him up and maybe it was because it wasn’t worth it. He wasn’t worth it. The assumption he settled for was that he wasn’t a child anymore and therefore he didn’t need to be defended. Beomgyu looked out the window for the remainder of the trip until it was time to leave. He slipped out of the van, the overwhelming knowledge that today would be mentally challenging felt like swallowing sand. A gust of wind blew his hair out of his face and forced him to gasp the dry icy air. He usually loved the fresh spring weather, but now it was just another slap in his face that he needed to change. If the weather could change abruptly, so could he.

At the end of the day all the members gathered in the artist lounge to unwind as they waited for their managers to finish their meeting. Beomgyu was sitting on the sofa next to Yeonjun, who was talking to Taehyun, his head flopping forwards as he tried to fight sleep. Soobin and Kai were immersed in a switch game of Mario Kart , shoving and shouting at one another. He refused to let his eyelids drop completely and to stay awake he would insert himself in any conversation he could but it was so exhausting. Eventually he dozed off, only realising when he felt the soft cushion beneath him was now someone’s lap. The room was suddenly a lot more loud but the noise was warm and comfy. The atmosphere was welcoming and familiar.

“-Yeah he’s been like that all day hyung. I was kinda worried so I was going to talk to him when we got back home. Oh Gyu’s awake.” Yeonjun’s soft voice said close to him. He stayed still to see if anyone would notice. He did feel slightly better but the nap made him more tired than before. At least he wasn’t feeling upset about the lack of work he got done during the day. 

“Beomie, we know you’re awake. Your eyes are twitching.” 

The voice was smooth and deep like maple syrup. His eyes opened and instantly connected with two dark tiger eyes. Taehyung was gazing at him with a gentle look, amusement in his eyes and soft smile. “Hi.” He whispered. Beomgyu felt his cheeks become even more warm. He was still swaddled in his puffer jacket but now a blanket was covering his legs and he was sitting on Taehyung’s lap, legs draped over Yeonjun’s.

“Hey baby.” Taehyung said in a hushed whisper. Beomgyu squirmed as he felt the older man's intense gaze. Next to them Yeonjun chuckled making Beomgyu realised where he was. He sat up he looked around the room. Seokjin, Soobin and Jungkook were playing video games on the computers and Jimin was with the maknaes making beaded charms and jewellery at the large table with a camera in the middle. “They are filming a V-live so we have to be quiet but I’m glad you’re awake now. I heard you were having an off day today and I’m here to cheer you up. Sorry Yoongi hyung couldn’t join, he’s busy.” Taehyung carded his fingers through Beomgyu’s thick head of hair.

He hummed in response as he made himself comfortable on Taehyung’s lap, staring at the side of his face. Beomgyu was definitely feeling much better. After a while he cleared his throat and spoke. “I think I might go back to the studio and finish what I was doing hyung.” Both Taehyung and Yeonjun, who was still there just on his phone, looked at him in surprise.

“Are you sure? We do have to come back here tomorrow so we can make that a first priority if you’d like.” Yeonjun said, putting his phone down. But Beomgyu was determined and shook his head. 

“I found some inspiration that I need to get down now. I’m gonna head there now But I’ll try not to spend too long. Please tell Soobinie hyung for me, please.” Beomgyu said, looking at Yeonjun with a soft pleading smile. To which his hyung kindly nodded and watched as Beomgyu hopped off Taehyung’s lap and stretched, heading out the room with newfound determination.

Chapter Text

Beomgyu stayed longer than he had intended to and worked so feverishly it was such a surprise for Taehyung, who had followed him to his studio and stayed, watching him for hours. He was there for silent moral support after trying to ask about his troubles hadn’t worked out. Taehyung was so shocked to see how similar Beomgyu was to Yoongi. Those two could hide their issues so well it was almost praiseworthy but ultimately it was borderline concerning. 

“Hyung, let’s take a break.” Beomgyu said, spinning around in his chair to face his hyung. “Can we go visit Yoongi hyung?” His head tilted to the side with wide eyes and a tired smile. Taehyung thought he would melt on the spot. Beomgyu’s natural aegyo was so strong, he felt like squeezing the younger’s cheeks. And so he did. “Hyung!!” Beomgyu whined. 

“No need.” Taehyung and Beomgyu looked in the direction of the sudden voice to see Yoongi stood in the doorway with his arms folded and his head leaning against the frame. He looked well rested and comfortable with his smart trousers, white shirt and navy cardigan. “Having fun without me?” He asked as he made his way in and got comfortable on Taehyung’s lap. To which Taehyung huffed as a joke earning a smack on the arm. 

“Hyung, how was work?” Beomgyu asked. He scooted closer on his wheelie chair and took one of Yoongi’s hands, massaging the muscles gently. “I just finished writing a song and I sent it to Bang PD-nim so hopefully it actually gets used. I can send it to you too if you’d like.” Beomgyu rambled. He was in such a better mood, so it seemed, and Taehyung was pleased. The younger had worked his socks off in the hours he spent in the studio, and now he was relieved that texting Yoongi the situation had ended well.

“Seems you had a good few hours of work. Well done for working hard Gyu! I did have a good day today, thanks.” Yoongi exhaled what sounded like a dry laugh, “It was eventful, but I must say I wasn’t as productive as I hoped.” His facial expression almost immediately dropped from neutral to unimpressed and Taehyung barked out a sweet yet challenging laugh. He squeezed Yoongi’s waist causing the eldest to squirm and grumble profanities. 

“By the way Gyu, Soobin told me that you weren’t feeling well earlier today. Just to let you know that we’re here if you need to talk, you know where we are. Okay?” Yoongi said, placing a hand on the maknae’s cheek and stroking it. “Don’t let this consume you. We got your back.” The older two looked at Beomgyu with such admiration and belief, it didn’t ever feel like they wouldn’t take on the world for Beomgyu.

-Time skip-

Unbeknownst to Yoongi and Taehyung, Beomgyu let his problem consume him whole. It was so bad that essentially all TXT members and staff could tell something was wrong. The drastic changes in his behaviour were concerning everyone and yet Beomgyu continued to insist that he was okay. He was physically different too, more skinnier, which he tried to hide under baggy clothes and hoodies. But his more hollowed cheekbones were a massive giveaway. 

The moment that Beomgyu was told he was going to be taken out of promotions for the new mini album they had just dropped he tried to protest with his whole heart. “Beomgyu, please. You have not been yourself and we need to know why, because you look unwell and you haven’t been performing to the ability we all know you’re capable of.” One of his managers said. Soobin stood with them in the corridor, as a friend and as their leader. 

“Please Gyu. MOA will understand, the members will understand. And even if you’re not ready to tell us what is going on then at least talk to a doctor, because you're worrying us. Do this for yourself, if not for me. Please.” And as if Beomgyu couldn’t feel anymore conflicted and out of place, those words hit like a punch in the chest. He took a deep, shaky breath and nodded. Soobin pulled him in for a tight hug before parting ways, walking back to the dance studio where the other members were sitting around, preparing for the long day.

“Beomgyu-ssi, because we anticipated pulling you out of schedules, we wanted to make an emergency appointment with a doctor for you too. It would be in about 30 minutes so you can get something to eat and even go back to the dorm to relax and we will come back and get you. But because you are an adult it is ultimately up to you to give us the answer.” Beomgyu looked at the lady and with glossy eyes, willing himself to not cry. He pinched the skin of his palms to distract his body and heaved another shaky sigh.

They walked in silence, headed for the canteen a couple floors below. Beomgyu really wanted to get better. He was so desperate to speak to someone but it was so hard. Perhaps now others were actively supporting him then maybe he could feel less guilty about this whole situation. As they settled in a two seater by one of the large windows the manager left him to order some food and drinks for them both. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye Beomgyu could see that manager from before. That one specific manager. Beomgyu felt his already small appetite completely disappear;  bubbles appeared at the pit of his stomach. 

“Have you made a decision, Beomgyu-ssi? By the way, here's your meal. We can eat in the car if you would like.” His personal manager came back with a small bag of food and a cardboard tray holding their drinks. “Also manager Kang Dae-ssi will be assisting us because he needs to run some errands.” Instantly Beomgyu felt himself break out in a cold sweat. The bag of hot food in his arms only added to his sweaty palms making him scared to drop it.

“Oh Beomgyu-ssi! What are you doing here? Don’t you have any promotions to do today?” The voice was like venom. Purposefully sweet to hide the malicious intentions but rotten enough that Beomgyu could see through the facade. Beomgyu felt his words stick in his throat and tears sting his eyes. “I have a doctor's appointment instead.” He mumbled, looking up to his other manager. She looked at him with kind eyes, and a whole lot of relief. Beomgyu took that as had he said no, her manager would’ve scolded her unfairly. Now he just had to sit in the car and withstand whatever comments would be thrown his way.

Chapter Text

Yoongi was sitting in his studio working on a beat, mid conversation with Taehyung and Hoseok who were at the shops picking up the members some things. He was half listening as they listed all the items off the list to him because even though he had made it, he couldn’t be bothered to actually go out and get the things. One thing caught his attention though. Taehyung’s voice became a little distant from the phone and a familiar name could be heard calling out.

“Beomgyu! Hey, what are you doing here? Don’t you have promotions today? Oh! Sorry, are you filming?” Taehyung’s voice, although being far from the phone, was still loud enough to hear. “Hey. Yeah, I’m on the phone to hyung right now. Did you want to say hi?” Then the voice changed to a more stiff younger sounding one that Yoongi recognised as Beomgyu’s.

“Hey Beomie. How are you?” Yoongi asked, leaning back from his desk, properly focusing on him. “Oh, yeah I’ve been good too thanks. Mmm hmm, of course. Take your time and get some rest, you don’t want to over work yourself. I’ll see you later, yeah? Okay bye.” Taehyung didn’t take long to take over the phone from the younger one and this time his voice was much clearer for Yoongi.

“Alright hyung he’s off now. I think he’s going back to the company. Anyway, back to the list-” Someone out of earshot cut Taehyung off. Yoongi sighed. This one phone call was going to eat into nearly 2 hours of his time here and he wasn’t anywhere near where he wanted to be with the track in front of him. He feared he would have to spend nearly another 2 hours making up the time, when he could have used it to go home and nap.

So, he slowly zoned out to half of the conversation he could hear and slipped back on his headphones, peaking one ear out just in case. Just as he was getting into things, nearly completely forgetting the phone call he was still on, despite it being merely seconds since he redirected his focus Taehyung’s gasp came echoing out of the phone’s speaker. “Yoongi hyung! I probably shouldn’t say this over the phone so I won’t say much, but Hobi hyung was chatting with Beomgyu’s managers and apparently they just came back from taking him to the doctors. They wouldn’t say what for but I think it’s for what we were talking about earlier this morning.” 

Yoongi frowned. He didn’t want to believe it could be true but if it was then he was going to be very worried for the younger. He rapidly thought of what to do before clearing his throat and replying. “Okay Tae, we should probably talk to him and find out from him. And if he doesn’t want to tell us then we should still let him know of our concerns. Look, let me finish up here and meet up with him and take him to get ice cream or something. But I won't discuss anything without you there.”

“Sounds perfect hyung, although you don’t have to wait for me to be there. If the time feels right just say something. I’ll get going now. See you later, love you.

“I said I love you…Hyung? Bitch. Hobi hyung!!! Can you believe it ? He put down on me-”

Yoongi would have to pay for that later, but for now he was saving his work faster than ever, preparing to dash out of the studio to reach his youngest sweetheart. Yoongi put on his coat and ran to the elevator, spamming the down button. He hoped and prayed the staff wouldn't make Beomgyu come back to the building to continue promotions and actually gave him the whole day to rest, especially in the condition that Yoongi had last seen him in. He didn’t care if both Beomgyu and the staff tried to pretend that nothing was going on. He was concerned. 

Lucky for him when he reached about 2 floors close to the ones the TXT members usually used and were most likely using for promotions today, two members of staff hopped in the elevator mid conversation. The topic took him by surprise. He tried not to eavesdrop but it was sounding too familiar and the odds they were speaking about someone else were slightly too good. “- won't appear in any promotions because he is too exhausted. The doctor was really strict on him. But then they wouldn’t even let me in after a while. I don’t know how Si Hyuk PD-nim will take this.” The lady said in a hushed tone with a long sigh.

“That kid pushes himself too far, but maybe someone said something to him. Like threatening him. Ha! Could you imagine that? How pathetic.” The man with her spoke. Both Yoongi and the lady snapped their heads in his direction, Yoongi quickly looking back down to his feet and whipping out his phone to pretend he was reacting to something other than the conversation in the small space. He knew the lady had seen his reaction though because when the man spoke again he sounded panicked and embarrassed. “N-no that’s not what I mean. Like why would someone stoop so low to threaten someone else? I hope they're okay though. Seems like they're going through something deep.”

“I know, it’s a shame. I can only hope that going to the doctor can let him loosen up and achieve the help he really needs.” The woman spoke as the doors began to open. And just as they stepped out onto their level Yoongi caught the last of that woman’s sentence, confirming all theories he had been building in his head. “Poor Beomgyu-ssi, he’s going to miss out on a lot.”

Recognising that those two were most likely the managers Hoseok and Taehyung had seen in the shops, it confirmed there was no chance Beomgyu was going to be in the building at this very moment. Yoongi slapped the button to the parking garage and sent Taehyung a quick text message, letting him know where he was headed. All he could hope was that Beomgyu wasn’t all alone in that condition. During the whole car ride Yoongi felt adrenaline coursing through his body, sending his mind into overdrive and shivers down his spine. Never had he felt more anxious in a situation that wasn’t work related in his life. 

The second he made his way to the TXT dorms he rang the bell, feeling a little cautious yet impatient too. It took a while before Beomgyu answered the intercom but when he did the door flew open within seconds. Beomgyu leaped into Yoongi’s arms, before pulling him backwards into the dorm. “Hyung! What are you doing here?”

Chapter Text

 “Is Taehyungie hyung coming too?” Beomgyu asked as he closed the door and  allowed his hyung to take off his jacket and shoes before noticing the plastic bag in his hands.  He led them through the living area into the kitchen.

“Um no, Tae isn’t coming till later. But I came to catch up. Just a surprise visit after work. I just thought I’d treat you to some pastries and fruit.” Yoongi said, looking through cupboards finding small plates and bowls to put the food in. Beomgyu took two cans of carbonated orange juice out of the fridge and walked to the island to watch his hyung wash and chop strawberries and mangos. “Anyway, how are you doing? Have you been busy? Hopefully I didn’t interrupt you resting.”

“Actually, no, I got home not long ago and just took a bath. When we spoke on the phone I was actually out with my managers to the shops to help find some stuff because I finished promotions before the other members. I wasn’t feeling too great so they took me home early. Nothing too worrying though. Hey, but how did you know I was here, hyung?”

Yoongi looked up at the younger male with a small smirk. “I’d overheard something and figured you wouldn’t still be at work. Then I assumed you would be here, but maybe I should have just phoned instead, because you look like you’re ready for bed.” Yoongi pointed to Beomgyu’s brown gingham patterned cotton pyjama set with a fluffy brown zip up on top, the hood up covering Beomgyu's head, little fluffy bear ears on either side of his head; Christmas gifts from his members. Beomgyu seemed to realise what he was wearing and blushed, taking a sip of his drink.

“Oh no, I was just going to watch some TV. I’m grateful you’re here though. It'll be less lonely. Plus , you brought food.” Beomgyu helped Yoongi with the plates and followed him to the living area where they sat on the sofa, a random Netflix documentary playing on the TV. “What did you want to watch?” Beomgyu took a forkful of golden cubes and shovelled them into his mouth, washing it down with the canned drink. Yoongi chuckled and shrugged, implying that it was entirely the younger’s decision. And so they sat side by side watching whatever random K-drama was on Beomgyu’s watch list.

The sound of voices woke Yoongi up. He looked down to see Beomgyu curled up in his lap with his back to the TV and his arms curled up under his chin. He looked so innocent and peaceful. Just looking at his small body made Yoongi’s heart swell. The voices began to rise as he recognised the members had come home. He suddenly heard another voice, this one higher in pitch and more feminine, which caused him to snap his eyes shut. He didn’t know why his first instinct was to pretend to be asleep, but if it helped him earn extra information then so be it. 

Yoongi held his breath, heart racing in his chest and thumping in his ears, as he strained to hear the conversation. “Well Soobin-ssi, he’s going to have to get some rest for a while because in the doctor's words he is  struggling severely. He’s on house arrest, essentially, and I was told that he might be on his own for a lot of the recovery, unfortunately but we will send over activities for him to complete to keep him occupied. Lastly, keep in mind he denied the offer of therapy so please, if you can, try and convince him before he creates more harm for himself. I think that’s all- Oh Yoongi-ssi’s here right now.”

Suddenly, Yoongi’s heart dropped to his stomach. He felt his armpits prickle with sweat and willed his eyelids to stay as still as possible. He had tried to steady his breathing but it was making him impatient. “It’s okay he’s asleep. Anyway thanks for today. We’ll finish this conversation tomorrow. I’ll let you go now. Thank you for this, I wish there was something more we could do. But we will do our best and I’ll get in contact soon Eun-ji noona.” Soobin said, his voice directly above Yoongi’s head. There was small talk up until the clang of the door and Yoongi opened his eyes. 

Unfortunately when he did he met another pair of dark mahogany irises and the looming feeling of 8 more. 

-3  hours ago- 

Taehyung was quiet in the car ride to the BTS dorm, where he and Hoseok would unload the shopping and finish chores before the other members would arrive. He couldn’t help but wonder what was happening with Yoongi and Beomgyu. He desperately wanted to be with them both and find out what was causing Beomgyu’s mood to be this bad. He wasn’t craving the need to have the discussion as much as he was just wanting to be there to give his unconditional support and love but either way he was wishing he was anywhere but here. The BTS dorms weren't too far from the TXT dorms but the distance felt colossal right now. 

“Tae come help me finish the laundry and I’ll drop you off to the babies’ okay.” Hoseok yelled from the dining room. Taehyung blinked and moved to turn the TV off. He had been standing in the middle of the living room watching the news channel blindly. He all but ran to help Hoseok, with a new found motive and soon he found himself in the parking lot of the TXT dorms. “Taehyung don’t stay too long. We have our schedules early tomorrow, okay. And tell Yoongi hyung to go easy on the naps. He’s never going to fall asleep tonight if he keeps taking naps.” Hoseok said as he adjusted his hair in the mirror. “Also tell the babies I said hi.” He added with a kind smile that warmed Taehyung’s heart. 

“You could come too, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind, even if you stayed for a short while.” Taehyung said, combing his fingers through Hoseok’s long waves. They framed his slim face and hugged his ears and neck. The older one just smiled, eyes into crescents, mouth into heart, and shook his head gently.

“No, it’s okay. I have things to do. Thanks though Tae. Now off you go. Get out.” His face dropped to a mock annoyance on his face. Taehyung hopped out with one last goodbye before heading inside the apartment complex. Yeonjun was the one to open the door for him, towel around his neck, dressed in a shirt and joggers, clearly in the middle of getting ready for bed. “Hey hyung. Perfect timing by the way.” He closed the door behind Taehyung before walking further into the apartment. Taehyung followed him into the living area where everyone else sat and stood around. Soobin stood in front of the television with folded arms, Tyunning squished together on the armchair and Beomgyu sat on the sofa. Yoongi was nowhere to be seen.

The atmosphere was tense. Taehyung made his way to the back of the sofa. “Hey guys. Hope I’m not interrupting anything important.” He reached down to ruffle Beomgyu’s soft hair. The boys greeted him gently but he could still feel that maybe he shouldn’t be here right now. And where was Yoongi? Was his shoes still by the door? He couldn’t even remember. Yeonjun came in, disrupting his thoughts. He stood next to Soobin with his hands gripping the towel around his neck, hair now bone dry.

“Nope. As I said, you came at a perfect time. We need your advice.” Yeonjun said. Yoongi emerged from a dark corridor with a loud yawn, rubbing a hand over his face. “Both of your help.”
