     SeokJin quietly walked into his room. "YoonGi, are you okay?" He asked softly. "Yeah." YoonGi breathed out. "You're up early." SeokJin commented. "I couldn't sleep. I made coffee and breakfast, you guys should eat before you go to practice." YoonGi whispered. "You've been sick, you should be resting. You didn't have to do that." SeokJin said sighing as he sat on the edge of YoonGi's bed.

     "I was an asshole yesterday." YoonGi replied. "YoonGi you were hurt. We understand. Any one of us would of acted the same way. Actually you were pretty calm. I hope JungKook apologized." SeokJin said as he ran his hand along YoonGi's arm. "I apologized." YoonGi whispered. "YoonGi-ah, you always give in to him. He was wrong." SeokJin lightly scolded. "I need to be better Jinie. It was my fault." YoonGi replied. SeokJin breathed out, climbing into YoonGi's bed and wrapping his arms around him. "You need rest YoonGi-ah. Go back to sleep." SeokJin whispered. YoonGi turned in his bed, facing SeokJin and wrapping his arms around him pulling him in close. SeokJin pressed his head against YoonGi's chest, their legs intertwined together. "I'm sorry I'm not better at this." YoonGi whispered as he finally drifted off to sleep, exhaustion taking over.

     SeokJin sighed as he ran his hands up and down YoonGi's back, gently. "I'm sorry I made you question yourself so much. I didn't realize how much I was hurting you by trying to hide the real me. You are perfect YoonGi-ah. You always have been. Please don't be so hard on yourself." SeokJin could hear someone clear their throat. He quickly turned to see who it was. "That might mean more if you told him when he's awake." NamJoon whispered. "I know. I'm building up to it." SeokJin whispered back. "You better not wake him. He just went to sleep." "I know. I went looking for you to talk to you. You weren't with HoSeok and when I asked him he mumbled something about YoonGi." NamJoon replied. "Can we talk?" He quietly asked.

     Rolling his eyes SeokJin then carefully climbed out of YoonGi's bed. "Not in here. I don't want to wake him." SeokJin whispered. NamJoon nodded, agreeing. They both stepped out of the room. "YoonGi will be staying home sick. I would say HoSeok and JungKook could stay with him but after yesterday that may not be a good idea." SeokJin nodded, agreeing with NamJoon's statememt. "So he really didn't apologize?" SeokJin asked. "He was going to but YoonGi wouldn't let him and he apologized instead. I'm not sure why, I mean he had a valid reason to be upset." NamJoon continued. SeokJin breathed out. "Okay, maybe we just have HoSeok stay here with him. I mean the rest of us need the practice." SeokJin suggested. "That's probably our best option. I'll let him know. We have a few hours before we have to get ready to leave. Why don't you go back to him? I'll come get you later." NamJoon said with a small smile.

     SeokJin quickly and quietly made his way back into YoonGi's bed getting back into the position he was previously in. "Feel better YoonGi-ah." SeokJin whispered as he nuzzled his face into YoonGi's chest. He relaxed in YoonGi's arms. SeokJin may technically be older but YoonGi has always taken care of him. Being wrapped in YoonGi's arms was home. "I always forget that I'm your Hyung, you've never needed me the way I need you." SeokJin whispered pulling YoonGi even closer. YoonGi groaned as he tangled his fingers in SeokJin's hair.

-4 Hours Later-

     The guys had all been at practice for about an hour. "Shit, JK!" JiMin called out. "You're off. You keep stepping on my foot." "Language." SeokJin breathed out, trying to catch his breath. "I'm sorry JiMinie." JungKook apologized quickly. "Why don't we take a 15 and then get back at it." SungDeuk said clapping his hands together getting all of their attention. NamJoon placed his hand on JungKook's shoulder. "You okay?" "I will be better after I talk to YoonGi. I should of tried harder to apologize this morning, he just caught me off guard. He wasn't wrong to be upset with me. I'm upset with me. Usually he would say something in frustration though or he'd throw things, I mean it takes a lot for him to be angry but we all know when he is... This was different. He apologized when he didn't do anything wrong. He's never done that before. He just... I don't know." JungKook rambled his frustrations. "Yeah. I know." NamJoon breathed out.
