Loud footsteps and screams were heard over the store's floor, annoying the one costumer that was in. James flew past Yoongi, causing him to nearly poke his customer with a needle. "This is unproffesional! I know I shouldn't have trusted your kind to get me a fucking suit. I'm out!" The man screamed at Yoongi's face, making him sigh in defeat. That was already the third customer that walked out that day.

The doorbell rang again, Yoongi looking up with hopeful eyes. "No- not more children." Seokjin raised his brow at Yoongi before James and Thomas zoomed past his feet. "What are your children doing here?"

"Julia wasn't available today. I thought they could behave but-" Yoongi looked helplessly around the store. "I can't work and keep them at bay at the same time." Seokjin put Mary Ann down on her feet and released Harry's hand, shooing them away to the other children. "I'll watch them while you work."

"No, no I can't ask that of you, you have your job and-"

"Hey, hey." Seokjin held Yoongi's hands in his, rubbing his thumb over the back of his hand to calm him down. "I'm on paid leave this coming month so I can watch the children while my ex is away. I can do this."

Yoongi looked from their hands back to Seokjin. "Are you sure? I don't want my children to stress you ou-"

"Ssshhhh.... I wouldn't offer if I wasn't sure. I'll take them to the park to get them exhausted."

"What can I do to repay you for this?" Seokjin smiled down at him. "Give me a kiss."

"...That's it?" Yoongi's eyebrows knotted together. Eventhough he hasn't known Seokjin for long, he definitely knows how he's like... and this wasn't it.

"Yup, not asking for more."

"Gladly, now please." He looked back at the children that were still screaming. Yoongi pressed a quick kiss on Seokjin's lips. "Take them away." Seokjin laughed at Yoongi's dramatic expression. "I will, don't worry." He leaned in to give Yoongi a quick peck on the forehead before scooping the two little girls up and instructing the three boys to follow him.

Silence. Finally silence.

Namjoon looked over at Taehyung with narrowed eyes. "...What?" He asked his friend, but Namjoon just kept staring. "...You seem... happier." Taehyung silently blinked a few times while staring at him. "Okay??? And???"

"Just stating it. Now, spill the beans, what happened?" Namjoon leaned in closer to him, ready to get the news. Taehyung looked around the busy cafeteria. "Not here."

"What, not here?" Jimin asked, plopping down on the seat next to Taehyung. "Nothing special." Taehyung picked at his food, getting his fork snatched by Namjoon. "Don't play with your food." Taehyung stared blankly at his now empty hand before slowly turning to face Namjoon. "... Oh God, sorry Tae, my father instincts kicked in." Namjoon quickly gave him his fork back.

"...Right, Tae, why did you leave me at the party? I know you didn't want to talk to Jungkook but you didn't have to abandon me like that."

"Trust me Jimin, I was closer than you think I was."

"Don't tell me-"

"You don't want to know." Taehyung shuddered, just thinking back about what happened at the party.

Namjoon and Taehyung were walking through the parkinglot at the end of the day. "So, we're alone now, what happened?" Namjoon carefully stopped Taehyung so they would come to an halt.

"I- I like Jungkook." Namjoon raised his brow, folding his arms over one another. "Yeah, I know, that's not something new."

"I meant- I'm starting to become less scared, I want to be myself."

"That's good news Tae. Wow, I'm proud of you." Namjoon unfolded his arms, pulling Taehyung into a quick hug. "I'll have to talk to Blaine."

"Oh yeah... Let me know how that went." Namjoon fished his keys out of his pocket, walking towards his cardoor. "Good luck my man."

"Thank you, I need it."

"You need more than good luck, trust me." Namjoon stepped inside his car, waving his friend goodbye one more time  before starting the engine.
