It had been four days since Hobi left for his parents’ house.
Yoongi was unraveling without him.
For all his anger, all his abuse, all his harshness—he could never bring himself to touch anyone else. Hobi was the only person he ever wanted.
The only person he ever allowed himself to want.
But today… his patience broke.
Without informing anyone, he drove straight to his in-laws’ house.
He stepped inside and immediately froze.
Hobi was standing in the living room, laughing at something a man said.
Laughing—softly, sweetly—the way he only did for Yoongi.
And the boy was standing too close.
Far, far too close.
A hot wave of jealousy boiled in Yoongi’s chest.
Hobi turned, eyes widening the moment he saw his husband.
Yoongi: “Let’s go.”
Eunwoo: “Uh… Hobi, who is he?”
Hobi opened his mouth, but Yoongi cut him off, his voice ice-cold.
Yoongi: “I’m his husband. I said pack your things.”
Hobi flinched at the tone and nodded immediately.
Hobi: “O-Okay…”
He hurried upstairs to pack his and Taehyung’s things.
Just then, Mrs. Jung entered the living room carrying Tae. The little boy squealed the moment he saw his father.
Tae: “Dadaaa! Me mishh chu!”
He threw himself into Yoongi’s arms.
Yoongi’s face softened for a split second as he kissed the top of Tae’s head.
Yoongi: “Missed you too, my baby.”
But the softness vanished when Eunwoo stepped closer.
Eunwoo: “You know… if I had come a little earlier in Hobi’s life, he would’ve married me instead of you—”
A fist collided with Eunwoo’s cheek before he could finish.
Yoongi grabbed him by the collar, eyes burning.
Yoongi: “He. Is. Mine.”
He lifted his fist again—but Hobi rushed downstairs and grabbed his arm.
Hobi: “Yoongi, please—stop. I’m sorry. Please.”
Yoongi gave Eunwoo one last deadly glare.
Yoongi: “Are you done? Let’s go.”
Mrs. Jung: “Yoongi, stop this—”
Yoongi: “We’ll come another day.”
He carried the luggage out, opened the car door for Hobi, and drove off without another word.

In the Car
Silence. Heavy, suffocating.
Yoongi gripped the wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white.
Yoongi: “Who was he?”
Hobi: “J-just… an old friend.”
Yoongi hummed, jaw tight.
Yoongi: “Hm.”
That was all he said.
