*Ding Dong*

"What are you doing here...that too at 7 in the morning?", Jin yawned as he opened the door.

"Is Joon hyung here?", Jungkook asked trying to scan the room for Namjoon.

"Ya he is but he is packing. He will be leaving in 5. He is going to the airport. He is going to seogwipo-si."

"Okay I won't take much of his time".

"So that's it? No hello to your brother. I haven't seen you since days and now that you are here you don't even have time for me." Jin opened the door as he let Jungkook in.

"What's with you people?", Jungkook sighed.

"You people??"

"You and Hoseok? You guys are like two peas in a pod. Desperate, needy and emotionally-damaged. I need to ask are you guys going through menopause or something?"

"How dare you? You guys had a helluva time last night, drinking beer and scratching your balls while we are here taking care of home, cooking, cleaning and handling kids."

"Uh-uh, as I stand corrected", Jungkook spoke absentmindedly as he walked towards Namjoon.

But before Jin could argue more, Joon spoke, "Honey, can I get a cup of coffee to go and get one for Kook too?", Namjoon said as he asked kook to sit.

"Sure Joonie", Jin smiled to Namjoon as he glared at Kook and stomped to the kitchen.

"Hyung I need to talk to you about something".

"I know. Jimin told me yesterday and also Hoseok said you scared Tae yesterday...ohh not to me but to the nattering gossip over there". He pointed towards the kitchen aiming at Jin.

"Figures.", Kook chuckled while Namjoon stifled a laugh. "Okay, Hyung, I need to ask you something."

But Namjoon stopped him. "Jungkook, I know you don't like me much or think high of me".

He was about to continue when Jungkook interrupted, "No... Hyung I don't think low of you. You are the perfect businessman, perfect husband and doting father. You are like the....ummmm....perfect man every man and woman hopes for. Everyone looks up to you and not coz you are tall, you are the right expert....I know you can really help me."

"Did that Jimin tell you to say that?"

"NO", Jungkook said suddenly.

"I don't care. Just know that I want to help you guys and I am just a normal family man who loves his husband and children".

"So you are saying I don't love my family?", Kook retorted.

"No I didn't mean it like that. Look we are adults and it's high time we own up to certain responsibilities. We must understand that things will never be the same. We need to plough through each challenge. As an adult, things will never be easy and being a family man and a parent is much harder. We don't have time for ourselves But we must find out a way to handle every situation. If you look closely, there is always a way out....always a solution hidden somewhere."

Kook was absorbing each and every word falling out of Namjoon. Though it seemed cryptic, Kook still nodded along. After all, Joon is handling everything so well. No wonder people look up to him. This is gonna be the new Jungkook. He watched as Joon kissed his husband on the cheek and hugging his two daughters. It melted his heart. He wondered how Joon handled it so well. Maybe everyone is right. He is the perfect man, after all.

Joon and Jungkook walked out of their building. Jungkook helped him load the luggage to that car.

"We will talk more when we get back, okay?", Joon assured.

"Yes, and thank you. I will do my best.", Jungkook said happily satisfied with the talk. Jungkook helped Namjoon with the bags as he helped him load it in the car. The moment Namjoon left, Jin came running. "Joon-ah wait...!!! Dammit...!!!"

"What happened?"

"Ahh Joon forgot his passport. He has a flight at 10."

"Don't worry. I will give it to him." Jungkook grabbed the passport from Jin's hands and ran towards the main road. He got a cab and asked the driver to head to the airport. As the cab headed, he saw Joon's red car driving in front of them. He asked the driver to follow the car. But he saw suddenly that the car was heading to another direction rather than the route to the airport.

"Where is he going? Please keep following that car", Jungkook instructed the driver. As he trailed behind Joon, he saw Namjoon's car reach a luxurious hotel. Namjoon got out of the car and nodded to the valet. He signaled the busboy who took the luggage out of the car. Jungkook quickly got out of the cab, paid the driver and walked behind Joon.

Namjoon headed to the reception area where he took his eyes and went in an elevator. After reaching the 15th floor, he took out the keys and went inside his suite. This is heaven...pure bliss. He took a deep breath, paid the busboy a good tip as he closed the door.

As he plonked himself to the bed, he felt his phone ring. It was Jin.

"Jinnie?"

"Joonie? You forgot your passport again....How many times have I told you to check before you leave?"

Dammit. He messed up again.

"Ohh I am sorry."

"Where are you now?"

"Ohhh I am on my way to the airport. But I will come back." Namjoon said sadly.

"No don't Jungkook is on his way to the airport."

"WHAT?"

"Yeah, he will give you the passport."

"Oh okay, let me just call Jungkook and.....", before Namjoon could complete, Jungkook stood near him with a passport in his hand. His face was full of questions and filled with anger.

"I will talk to you later. Love you..."

He hung up the phone and looked at Jungkook.

"Seogwipo-si? Really?"

"Nothing's going on as you are thinking.", Joon tried to reason.

"Really? Coz I think you are cheating on my brother".

"Look just sit okay. I will explain everything."

"I have understood enough", Jungkook began to walk away but Namjoon pulled him back. "JUST LISTEN TO ME KOOK, YOU CAME TO ME REMEMBER? IT MEANS I AM DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. Just fucking hear me out."
