It's the days leading up to the final heist.

Everyone was nervous and the tension in the house was high.

Specially since it was the day Jeongin would leave out to be with his parents.

He dreaded going to his parents and actually "admitting" they were right all along.

When Jeongin left, it was out of spite and anger. His parents hated him for simply coming out. He didn't even finish the sentence before his parents were yelling and screaming about their image. Claiming that he wasn't gay and was just trying to ruin them because he was an "angsty teen" and just "rebelling."

So when he left, he made sure to show them he could rebel if he wanted too.

Now he stands in front of their door with an ear piece in his ear and Chan coaxing him through the mission.

"Just ring the doorbell, shed a few tears, and hold out for two days till we get there." Chan tells him from the safety of their van a few blocks over.

Till the mission, all seven of them would take turns staying in the van and listening over Jeongin to make sure he was safe.

"I just hate having to do this. You're lucky I love you." Jeongin takes a deep breathe before ringing the doorbell officially.

He keep his eyes close as he forced a few tears to fall and scrunched his face up in sadness. Even going as far to ruffle his hair and wear distasteful clothes to further his need for his so called parents.

The door open and he heard a gasp, causing him to open his eyes to his Mother.

"Mama!" Jeongin cries as he drops the bag from his shoulder and throws himself at her.

"Jeongin! Oh my goodness! Darling!" She quickly hugged him back and the pair fell to their knees in a warm embrace.

Jeongin didn't want to admit it but he missed these warm embraces from his parents.

Every child just wants a hug from their parents.

"Mama! You guys were right! I was wrong!" Jeongin cries out louder causing his Father to hear and slowly approach them.

"Jeongin?" His Father looks down at him in shock.

"Papa! I'm so sorry! Please take me back! Please! I'll be good!" Jeongin pulls away from his Mother and takes a deep breathe to continue with his next action.

He bows deeply to his Father as a way to show forgiveness for his so called "actions" of coming out.

His Father was shocked to see him at his feet and his Mother was crying over him.

The reunion was emotional, even if it was fake in Jeongin's eyes.

"Yang Jeongin, stand." His Father demands and Jeongin cringed internally at the command, instantly wanting to be a brat and say no.

But he stood and bowed his head to his Father.

His Father shocked him but placing his hands on his shoulders and speaking softly.

"Welcome home, son."

"So how's it going?" It was Minho's turn to listen out for Jeongin.

Jeongin wore some satin pajamas with clean hair and face in a nice luxury room that was made up for him by the maids. He laid in bed and had his burner phone out instead of using the ear piece.

"It's been rough. They brought me in after my whole show and we talked. I apologized for coming out again and explained how life has been tough without them. How I've been struggling to survive. They ate up the whole thing." Jeongin explains with a scoff as he ruffles his hair.
