if you're not the one for me who is

hoseok sighed, leaning back in his chair. "could he made an alternate alter of himself?" hoseok shook his head, namjoon's suggestion not seemingly too far off. "i don't think so. have you met the 'real' yoongi?"

namjoon thought to himself, "maybe. but it seems so long ago." hoseok rubbed his forehead, nodding, "i have an idea but we need to figure out how to coax yuno out. he's one of them that are truly honest with me."

yoongi was sitting on the couch, hoseok in front of him. "yuno, do you know yoongi?" yoongi nodded, picking at the skin on his thigh. "yoongi nice..but yoongi isn't. he isn't. scary..makes yoongi small. gets mad. no. yuno isn't bad. yuno good-" "yuno, hey! yuno it's alright.." yoongi blinked, hoseok in front of him, "yuno is good. yuno good boy."

hoseok nodded, "yuno is the best. yuno, are you saying there are two yoongis?" yoongi nodded, "mean yoongi yells at yuno.." yoongi leaned in close to hoseok, looking around like he was afraid someone was trying to listen in. "mean yoongi made binna go away..yuno afraid mean yoongi will make nice yoongi go too.."

yoongi was coloring in a book, not bothering to put the caps on the markers. jungkook only watched him, never seeing yoongi or any of his alters do this. "yoongi? are you okay?" jungkook watched the male pause before looking up at him with wide eyes.

he furrowed his brow slightly, nodding to the markers. "put the caps on before you dry them out. jin won't buy you anymore." yoongi was silent, looking back at the paper, scribbling the colors back down. jungkook frowned, sitting beside yoongi, patting the male's back. "yoongi, can you hear me?"

yoongi only tilted his his slightly, jungkook humming out slightly. he patted yoongi's head, "keep coloring. i'll be right back."

"deaf?" "partially it seems but all his other alts are perfectly fine." "hoseok?" the small group looked at hoseok, the male in deep thought. "i want to talk to him. is he still coloring?" jungkook nodded, "yeah. he's been coloring since jin had left him the other day." hoseok nodded, getting up and walking to the living room. he knew a bit of sign language so it was better than nothing to try it out.

he sat in front of yoongi, the male looking up when he tapped his fingers on the page. yoongi looked up, hoseok waving at him with a smile. hoseok only watched, something sparking in yoongi's eyes. he only watched as the male signed 'deaf slowly, hoseok signing back 'hearing'. yoongi giggled excitedly, sitting up and signing back to hoseok.

hoseok could only look over yoongi's shoulder to the group. he subtly shrugged, looking back at yoongi with a smile as he watched.

"deaf?" jin asked, glancing at jimin before looking back down at yoongi's teeth. he frowned, removing the stitches. "yoongi, are you feeding well?" jin asked, signing as he spoke, yoongi shrugging. "you know sign language?" "i have a deaf patient. parents are deaf as well," jin said shortly, taking a small filing tool and making yoongi's fangs a bit sharper.

he sprayed water into yoongi's mouth before he put in the suctioning tool, making a close gesture with his hand. "i made his fangs sharper so he should be able to feed better if he's taking it from skin." jin took the tool, setting it on the tray beside him. "your fangs are sharper so be careful. you should be able to feed better and the scars should fade as you feed."

yoongi nodded, jin smiling as he nodded as well. "my assistant will set up the next appointment next month."

jin laid in bed, thinking to himself. he sighed, turning on his side. was this really a position he should be in? he groaned out, placing his pillow over his head. what does he do? what does he say?

"i really can't be doing this. it's too much on a personal level for patients." jin nodded, "it's for the best." he knew it was easier said than done but he'd try to talk to the yoongi's therapist no matter what. even if he had to tell the smaller male himself.
