Yoongi wasn't able to address the issue he wanted once they arrived home after that night at Hoseok and Seokjin's house. He was too sleepy, and so the moment slipped away. The next day, he felt too awkward to bring it up again, afraid he had misinterpreted Namjoon's words.

In fact, Yoongi decided to forget about it altogether. But what he couldn't forget was that his baby was closer to arriving. He was close to entering his eighth month of pregnancy, with only nine weeks left until his due date.

Yoongi knew he had just six weeks to get his life together, and he couldn't do it alone. So, when he, Jimin, and Taehyung went shopping at Tae's request, Yoongi decided to broach the topic. Namjoon wasn't there—he had a job meeting to attend—which made it easier for Yoongi to address the subject.

As they wandered through the aisles, Taehyung excitedly picked out baby clothes while Jimin offered his opinions on various items. Yoongi felt a nervous flutter in his chest, knowing he needed to speak up.

"Hey, guys, can we talk for a minute?" Yoongi's voice was tentative as he glanced between Jimin and Taehyung.

"Of course, Hyung. What's on your mind?" Jimin asked, pausing to give Yoongi his full attention.

Yoongi took a deep breath, steadying himself. "I've been thinking a lot about my situation. With the baby coming so soon, I need to figure out what I'm going to do. I can't rely on Namjoon forever."

"I'm pretty sure Joon Hyung doesn't mind it one bit," Jimin commented with a knowing smirk.

Yoongi frowned at that, deciding to ignore the implications behind it. There were too many suppositions and what-ifs for Yoongi to risk.

"Tae... Do you still have contact with the Breeder's Take-in Squad person who helped you and Namjoon?" Yoongi asked, his voice steady yet hopeful.

"Of course, Seojoonie Hyung always calls and visits us from time to time. Why are you asking?" Taehyung responded, curiosity piqued as he paused from examining a baby onesie.

"Do you think he could help me too? Or at least guide me to someone who can." Yoongi asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

"Help with what?" Jimin interjected, confused by the direction of the conversation.

"Getting a house, keeping my college application, finding a part-time job, and managing baby care," Yoongi explained, his list of needs pouring out rapidly.

"Wait, Hyung, aren't you supposed to live with Joon Hyung until you're stable?" Jimin asked, his confusion deepening.

"He's planning on moving out. I don't want to be a burden to him," Yoongi said, his gaze dropping to the floor.

"What are you saying, Hyung?" Taehyung's voice was filled with confusion as he stopped browsing and turned to face Yoongi fully.
