The next few days blow by in a blur, time more than occupied by all that I've had going on, spending more time than I'd care to admit just trying to research all of the shit Taeju had thrown at me the other night. I'm still not entirely sure that I have a full grasp of the concept and everything that goes into it, but I've done my best to focus on whatever it is I need to in the moment as I've gone through the days. Working out with my brother in the mornings, getting scolded at school for a multitude of things, and the various things for work, it's helped to pass the time when I can manage the attention on it.

I'm still not convinced of what Taeju had said was happening between Yoongi and myself, not convinced that it's a positive thing in the slightest, but I've also not shut him down from the help he's been providing around the house with helping with the cooking in the evenings and keeping an eye on things for Jin and Hoseok. The two of them seem to be slowly doing better as well, that being one less thing on my plate to really worry all that much about despite the fact that Hoseok has yet to provide me the bottle of pills he has.

It's on a night like tonight where I'll barely have any time to spare at the house, that I actually appreciate Yoongi's help, appreciate the fact that most everyone except for Namjoon really seems to be back on the mend. I've got performances happening tonight, for myself, my band, and all the others that I assist with, which means I'll barely have the time to be in the house to grab a couple sets of clothes before heading right back out the door.

However, as I walk in the front door and pause to slip my shoes off so that I can quickly change and grab what I need, I can feel just how off the energy of the entire house is. It has me in a near panic since I don't have the time to deal with this tonight, and I don't even wait to have my shoes off before I'm twisting my upper body around to look around the first floor to see what's wrong. All I find is everyone that's down here looking at me worriedly though, Namjoon being the only one not present. Jin, Jungkook, and Yoongi are all in the kitchen presumably finishing cooking, and the other three are sat at the island.

"What's wrong?" I question worriedly, walking in their direction once my shoes are fully off. Everyone looks away with the exception of Yoongi and Jungkook, saddened and worried expressions taking over their faces.

"Namjoon hasn't quit drinking." Yoongi murmurs softly, and in my frenzy I find a smile pulling onto my lips as I scoff at this.

"Well, I guess I'll have to go change that, now won't I?" I laugh before heading to the stairs and jogging up. I've managed to figure out which room belongs to which one of them at this point, and in this moment I'm grateful for it as I don't have to guess which room I need to walk right into.

When I reach Namjoon's door, I don't even bother with knocking, not wanting to give him the chance to hide what he is most probably still consuming. And sure enough, when I waltz right in, he's yanking an open bottle away from his lips with wide eyes, spilling some of the alcohol onto the hoodie he's wearing as he sits in his bed.

"It's a shame that you wasted so much money on what you won't be able to drink." I tell him casually, walking right over to him and taking the advantage of surprise as I easily pull the open bottle out of his hand. I don't bother hunting around for the cap to it, knowing it won't matter ultimately. Instead, I move to set it on the dresser on the other side of the room before beginning to quickly search the entire room for more bottles that I have no doubt he has hidden.

"What the hell are you doing?! You said it was up to me when I was ready to give you the bottles! I'm not ready!" Namjoon shouts incredulously, seeming to be too stunned to do much but sit in his bed and watch me in a panic. I merely shake my head at this, rolling my eyes as I finally find an additional three bottles that he'd had hidden throughout his room in different places.
