Chapter Twenty
Anxiety

"Yoon... C'mooooon~," Namjoon whined, tugging on Yoongi's arm. "Is this because of what I said earlier?" Namjoon noticed Yoongi holding back tears and sighed. "Yoonie... Don't cry bub I didn't mean what I said..."

"What if you did? What if you don't actually want us to be together and I'm just being delusional like always?" Yoongi cried out, forgetting Taehyung was in the house. He calmed down a little and cuddled close to Namjoon. "My anxiety is getting so bad lately I can do a single freaking thing without thinking something will happen to one of you guys..." Namjoon sighed once more.

"Hyung." Namjoon began, Yoongi knew he only used hyung when he was being serious. "Why didn't you tell me your anxiety was kicking up again?"

"You were busy with work and all that I couldn't find myself to interrupt..." Namjoon frowned as Yoongi fiddled with his thumbs.

"Baby its a very serious thing — your anxiety — and we both need to take it seriously. So you gotta tell me. How long has it been?" Yoongi mumbled something that Namjoon didn't hear. "Speak up Yoonie," he said calmly.

"like around eight, nine months- I don't know..."

"YOONGI!" Namjoon exclaimed, quickly calming himself after. "Yoongi baby you know how bad it gets. You know that it's hard to handle it by yourself so please please please start telling me, okay?" Yoongi nodded. "We're gonna have to book the sessions again, alright bubs?" Yoongi nodded once more, Namjoon doing the same.

The two hugged each other close. Basking in each other's warmth and admiring each other's face.

"Don't worry bubba, I'm just getting all the stuff prepared for... Well I don't want to spoil anything so hush hush for now, m'kay?"

"M'kay..."

Unknown to them, Taehyung was behind the sofa listening to their conversation.

For a six year old, Taehyung was incredibly smart and aware of the world — courtesy of Namjoon — and knew about some of the main mental illnesses, anxiety included. Sadly, the knowledge wasn't a good thing when he was eavesdropping.

Soon enough, another pair of arms joined namgi's hug.

"Taehyung?" Yoongi asked, confused on why the boy was cr- holy shit the boy was crying. "Taehyung! Why're you crying for baby?" Yoongi cooed, picking up Taehyung and dropping him in his lap.

"Appa scared again! Appa no need to be scared!" Namjoon and Yoongi glanced at each other, the same amount of distress on their face.

"Taehyung what has your Appa said about listening to adults' conversations? What if it was something naughty? Granted that would probably never happen in this house, but still!" Namjoon scolded softly.

"'M sorry Dad! Was scared for Appa..." Namjoon didn't reply, in shock at what Taehyung called him, the same for Yoongi.

"Tae... Did you call Joon-ah... Dad?"
