-HoSeok and JiMin's Room-

     HoSeok walked into the room seeing both boys curled up together, holding each other, their limbs intertwined together on JiMin's bed. HoSeok leaned against the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest. He was able to breathe a little easier knowing that YoonGi was going to be okay. A small smile crept across his face. Watching TaeHyung and JiMin comfort each other was cute and sweet. "Do we know anything about YoonGi Hyung?" JiMin asked softly trying not to wake TaeHyung up since he had drifted off to sleep not too long ago. HoSeok made his way across the room and climbed into the bed behind JiMin, wrapping his arms around him, reaching over and gently caressing TaeHyung's arm. "He'll be okay Mini. I just talked to Jin Hyung, and they are keeping him over night, but he will be home tomorrow." HoSeok whispered into JiMin's ear. Releasing the breath that JiMin didn't even realize that he was holding, he started to relax against HoSeok. "Thank goodness." JiMin breathed out.

-Hospital-

     YoonGi was lying in his bed asleep while JungKook was sitting in a chair on his left side with his head resting on YoonGi's left arm. NamJoon was lying in the bed with YoonGi holding his right hand, their fingers intertwined. SeokJin had pulled a chair up to the same side that NamJoon was on laying his head down on the foot of the bed, his hand resting on YoonGi's knee. All three felt the need to stay with YoonGi making sure he wasn't left alone.

*Knock Knock*

     There was a light knock on the door. SeokJin seemed to be the only one to hear it so he got up and opened the door to find one of the nurses carrying a food tray for YoonGi. "I'm sorry to bother you. I just need to bring this in for Mr. Min." She spoke softly as she entered the room and set up the tray. "Thank you." SeokJin politely thanked the nurse. She smiled nodding. "Would you like me to wake Mr. Min for you?" The nurse quietly asked. "Oh no. It's okay. I'll wake him up. Thank you." SeokJin quickly thanked her and ushered her out of the room.

     SeokJin had a small smile on his face seeing three of his boyfriends resting together. SeokJin looked at the food on the tray, no way was he going to let his YoonGi eat this crap. He sighed quietly then walked over to JungKook gently shaking his arm lightly. "Hey Kook." SeokJin called him softly. "I'm sorry to wake you." JungKook sat up with his eyes still closed humming to let his Hyung know he was listening. "I'm going to go talk to the doctor about what YoonGi should eat to help get his strength back, then I'll go home and make YoonGi some real food. I also want to check on the others at home. Do you want to come with me?" SeokJin asked. "No. I'll stay here. I'll go back home later." JungKook mumbled out. "Okay. I'll leave you and NamJoon here with YoonGi." SeokJin whispered. JungKook nodded his head in agreement. SeokJin then quickly made his way out of the room after pecking each of their forehead's goodbye.

-Bangtan Home-

     SeokJin walked inside their home. It was all too quiet. He quickly made his way to HoSeok's room where he found all three boys asleep in JiMin's bed. He decided to just wake HoSeok up, so he walked over and gently shook his arm. "Hobi, I'm going to make some food to take to YoonGi." SeokJin whispered so as not to wake TaeHyung or JiMin. "Oh, Hyung, I'll come help you." HoSeok said as he quickly and quietly untangled himself from his boys and climbed out of bed.

     SeokJin was pulling what he needed out of the fridge and HoSeok was pulling out any dishes they would need. "How's YoonGi Hyung?" HoSeok asked. "He'll be okay. He just needs some time to recoup. That hospital food though... I don't know how they can even call that food?" SeokJin went on, shaking his head thinking about the tray of food that was brought to his YoonGi-ah. HoSeok chuckled lightly.

     "YoonGi and JiMin are going to have to talk." HoSeok spoke up. "I agree." SeokJin said nodding. "I'm sure what Mini said hurt YoonGi's feelings and I'm sure Mini feels bad about what he said but Mini was also disrespectful. We are all boyfriends so if Mini had those feelings he could have talked to YoonGi-ah or any one of us about it. YoonGi-ah is still older than him and the way he talked to him really wasn't okay. YoonGi-ah and I didn't help raise you guys to act that way. Mini obviously has feelings about things, we all do and that's okay, but we are in a relationship together and just like any relationship communication is important. I think the two of them need to talk and I think we all need to talk together too." SeokJin continued. "Like how we would work out our fights?" HoSeok questioned softly. "Yes, but also we should be able to share our feelings together, not just when we fight but the good, the bad, when we are stressed, tired, or when we need help. All of it Hobi. We are in this for all of it." SeokJin said with a small smile. HoSeok smiled back agreeing.

     While the two Hyungs were making lunch in the kitchen both JiMin and TaeHyung came trudging through the house together. JiMin was holding TaeHyung's hand in his small hand while pulling him along, his cheeks were puffy, and he still looked sleepy. TaeHyung was being pulled along his eyes appeared to still be closed and his hair was flopping around and sticking out all over. HoSeok looked up hearing them coming and upon seeing them he chuckled lightly, "Cute." HoSeok smiled as he whispered.

     JiMin walked up to the counter. "Hyung, you're home! How is YoonGi Hyung?" JiMin asked softly. "He will be okay. He is going to need to rest, eat better, and drink more fluids. He hasn't been taking care of himself. He was probably distracted with our concert, working on new music, and all of the practices that he didn't remember to take the time to take care of himself too. You know how he is." SeokJin continued, "With all of us officially being in this relationship together, we all need to look out for each other more." JiMin looked down at the countertop. "Hyung, do you think YoonGi Hyung hates me for what I said?" SeokJin looked at JiMin. "Mini Baby, I don't think YoonGi could ever hate you, but I do think the two of you have things to talk about and I know you have strong feelings about things, but you also need to remember to be respectful. YoonGi is still older than you and he has never been disrespectful to you." SeokJin spoke firmly. JiMin nodded his head in understanding a wave of guilt washing over him.

     TaeHyung pulled up a bar stool and rested his chin on the palms of his hands. "Will YoonGi Hyung be able to come home soon?" TaeHyung asked. "The doctor wanted to keep him overnight for observation and for him to finish his IV fluids, he should be able to come home after that." SeokJin responded as he and HoSeok started packing food to take to the hospital for YoonGi, NamJoon, and JungKook. "What are you doing Hyung?" TaeHyung asked. "I'm packing food for the others. Why don't you help take this to the table. We should hurry up and eat." SeokJin responded while carrying food to the table. TaeHyung and JiMin both grabbed plates, chopsticks, and drinks to the table. "Hyung, why don't Tae, Mini, and I take the others their food for you? You can shower and rest and we can see YoonGi for a bit and give NamJoon and JungKook a break." HoSeok suggested to SeokJin. SeokJin hummed. "Sounds good. You guys should head out after you finish eating." TaeHyung and HoSeok nodded as they all ate quietly.
