     "Where's Hyungie?" JungKook asked, looking up from his phone as he saw NamJoon coming down the stairs now wearing a loose tank top and gym shorts. "He's resting." NamJoon replied. "Did you talk to him? Are you guys... Is everything okay?" JungKook asked with a small hopeful smile. NamJoon sighed as he pulled two water bottles from the fridge and a couple power bars from the cupboard and then made his way over to JungKook. "It will be. I realize now that we've been neglecting certain things and I think we all should talk and start spending more time together reconnecting." NamJoon spoke as he sat next to JungKook on the couch, placing the items on the coffee table. JungKook nodded in agreement.

     "You guys were up there for quite awhile. I was nervous about how it was going." JungKook replied as he now relaxed into the couch. NamJoon laced his fingers with JungKook's. "We'll all be okay. We all are a little on edge lately with everything going on and honestly for once I had no idea what to do but Jin Hyung, Hobi, and I have been talking and also getting as much information as we can from YoonGi's doctor so that we can be able help him out more. I stayed up last night going over all the info the doctor had given us. *Sigh* I was so stressed and worried because I felt so lost and confused but after getting more information and reading up on similar cases to YoonGi's I feel like I can be more helpful now." He spoke with a small smile. "That's good." JungKook breathed out.

     "How was your physical therapy session today?" NamJoon asked as he gently rubbed circles on the back of JungKook's hand. "It was okay. I actually got through all of it today so my therapist was happy." JungKook chuckled. "That's great. That's our Golden Maknae." NamJoon chuckled lightly as he now ruffled JungKook's hair. He looked over at the wall clock. "The others should be home soon. Will you be okay down here while I go check on YoonGi and take this up to him?" NamJoon spoke as he motioned towards the water and power bars. "Of course." JungKook replied with a smile. NamJoon leaned over kissing JungKook lovingly on the lips as he caressed the side of his face.

     "Well what a sight to walk in on!" JiMin exclaimed with a smirk. NamJoon pulled back with a light chuckle as he looked over at JiMin now standing close to the opposite end of the couch that they were sitting on. "Do we get kisses too?" TaeHyung now asked as he walked in behind JiMin. JungKook chuckled shaking his head at JiMin and TaeHyung's antics. "What's this about kisses?" HoSeok now spoke behind TaeHyung followed by SeokJin. "You all get kisses and then I have to go check on YoonGi." NamJoon replied with a smile, his dimples on full display as he grabbed the waters and power bars and made his way over to the boys that had just come home. "I can go check on him." HoSeok suggested. "Thanks Hobi but I think this time I should do it." NamJoon replied in between kissing each of his boyfriends gently on the lips and then heading up the stairs.

     "Do you think they worked things out?" SeokJin quietly asked HoSeok. "I'm not sure. He did seem happy to go up to see him though so... hopefully they did." HoSeok quietly replied back. They all made their way over to JungKook, each of them kissing him and then asking how his day had been, how PT went, and implying their hopes that it was a fairly calm day. JiMin and TaeHyung both sat on each side of JungKook as he continued to look in the direction of the stairs where NamJoon had disappeared. "The day was okay. I spent some time with Hyungie before Joon Hyung took him upstairs, my PT went pretty good, and Joon Hyung and Hyung have been upstairs pretty much the whole time. *Sigh* Joon Hyung came down just to get water and check on me of which you guys just saw and I haven't seen Hyung since he left to go upstairs with Joon Hyung. They are okay up there, right?" JungKook explained and then asked with slight worry.

     "I'm sure their okay. They're probably just spending some time together." SeokJin explained as he now looked towards the stairs. "Well, I'll go get started on the food, Mini and Tae can spend some time with you, Kook-ah and Hobi why don't you go ahead and check on the two upstairs." SeokJin suggested as he leaned down and kissed JungKook once more before making his way to the kitchen. HoSeok quickly agreed and headed upstairs.

     HoSeok walked down the hall noticing that SeokJin and YoonGi's shared bedroom door was open and the room was empty so he went to NamJoon's room, finding the door closed he knocked. He didn't have to wait long and NamJoon opened the door. "Is everything okay Hobi?" NamJoon questioned. "I just wanted to check on you and YoonGi." HoSeok simply replied. NamJoon smiled and then opened the door wide enough for HoSeok to enter the room.

     As HoSeok entered the room and caught sight of YoonGi laying on his side appearing to be sleeping comfortably a smile spread across his lips. "I haven't seen him look so relaxed in a while." HoSeok commented. "Yeah. I almost don't want to wake him but he needs to drink some water and eat something." NamJoon sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck. HoSeok nodded in agreement, understanding NamJoon's dilemma. "Is he naked?" HoSeok then whispered, questioning as he realized YoonGi had no shirt on which was not common for the elder. "Yeah." NamJoon breathily chuckled. HoSeok eyed NamJoon with a cocked brow. "What?" NamJoon questioned while shrugging his shoulders. "Did you even talk to him or did you just have sex with him to avoid having to deal with things?" HoSeok now questioned.

     Sighing, NamJoon grabbed HoSeok's hand and pulled him towards the door. "Lets go talk in another room. I don't want to wake him yet." He grumbled out as he pulled HoSeok behind him out the door and down the hall. "We can use my room." HoSeok suggested. "Mini is down stairs with the others." NamJoon nodded and they both entered HoSeok's room, closing the door behind them. "Okay, first of all, I spent quite a bit of time with him today. I helped him with a relaxing bubble bath, we talked a little bit, and yes, we did have sex but I think we both needed it." NamJoon explained. With a raised brow HoSeok looked at NamJoon with a very serious expression and spoke calmly. "I for one know how you and YoonGi can be durng sex. He is pregnant. I hope you didn't do the usual." NamJoon's eyes widened in shock at the thought that HoSeok would think he would jeopardize their babies.

     Inhaling deeply NamJoon looked HoSeok in the eyes. "When was the last time you were intimate with him?" He questioned. "What?" HoSeok questioned back with furrowed brows, surprised by NamJoon's question. He thought about it for a minute. "I'm guessing by your silence that its been awhile maybe even before we all found out he was pregnant?" NamJoon questioned. HoSeok thought deeply then nodded slowly in agreement. NamJoon sighed. "It was the same for me."

     He breathed out. "After thinking about things and trying to figure out what to say or do to make things better between YoonGi and I, I realized that right after we all found out about the pregnancy JungKook had gotten into his accident and things changed. We were all worried about Kook-ah and then we were concerned with YoonGi because he wasn't handling JungKookies' accident well. Have any of us been intimate with YoonGi since that day? I know I've been intimate with each of you multiple times with the exception of JungKook and YoonGi." NamJoon now looked HoSeok in the eyes. "Is it the same case for you?" He softly asks. HoSeok's brows furrowed as he thought for a second and then he slowly nodded in agreement. NamJoon sighed. "Do you think its the same for the rest of them?" NamJoon asked. HoSeok's eyes widen in realization. "Have we been neglecting YoonGi?" He whispered out afraid of his own words. "I don't think it was intentional but I do think the rest of us should talk about this." NamJoon suggested. HoSeok quickly agreed.

*Knock Knock*

     NamJoon and HoSeok both looked at each other at the sound of someone knocking on the door. HoSeok quickly opened his door to see TaeHyung standing there nervously. "What's wrong Tae?" HoSeok asked as he gently took TaeHyung's hand and guided him into his room. "Hyungs? Kook-ah really wants to come upstairs and spend time with YoonGi Hyung." TaeHyung quickly explained. "He's frustrated because he would need someone to help him up the stairs and Mini and Jin Hyung are trying to calm him down but he says that he barely saw YoonGi Hyung before Joon Hyung interrupted them when he was finally starting to talk to him and since he's pregnant with his babies he just wants to be near him and spend some time with him." TaeHyung rambled off. "Okay. Okay. Calm down Tae. Joon why don't you go help JK up here and I'll go check on YoonGi Hyung." HoSeok suggested. "But-" NamJoon started but was quickly cut off by HoSeok. "We are not going to keep them apart. You remember what that did to YoonGi? Besides we were just talking about how each of us needed to spend more time together. That includes JK and YoonGi Hyung. NamJoon quickly closed his mouth and nodded before he left the room and headed downstairs to JungKook. "What was that about?" TaeHyung asked, confused about the conversation. "We all will be talking later after JK and YoonGi are asleep." HoSeok replied. "You should go help with JK." He suggested before he left his room and headed into NamJoon's room where YoonGi was still sleeping soundly in NamJoon's bed.
