"Have you gone nuts?"

Yoongi brings the cup of coffee down as he follows with his eyes the younger pacing around the kitchen.

Hoseok stops at the other side of the island kitchen and leans his hands on the cold marble. "Do you have a better idea?"

Yoongi leans forward, his lips remaining in a fine line. "I could name a few if you ask me."

Hoseok lets out a heavy sigh and lets himself fall in one of the stools.

"What's wrong with my plan?"

Yoongi raises his eyebrows and stares at him for a moment. "Everything's wrong with your plan. If they catch us - if he scapes - fuck, we're dead men. I won't risk losing him forever, Babe."

"We're losing him right now. We'll lose him forever if we don't do anything!" Hoseok takes a breath, then exhales.

Yoongi lowers his head a little bit, his dark eyes still staring at him and his eyebrows slightly frowned—looking at him as if he has actually gone nuts. Hoseok realises he has raised his voice at him and soon apologises, and Yoongi smiles softly.

"Hoba, I'm not telling you to not do anything. We'll bring him back—but not like this. It's crazy."

"But you like the craziness!"

"I just want to bring Joon home without losing him again, maybe, who knows, forever."

Jungkook and Tiger join the pair in the kitchen. Before Yoongi and Hoseok can take a look at them, Jungkook lets go of Tiger's hand and clears his throat.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Yoongi and Hoseok share a look and the younger nods.

"Hoba has a plan to bring Joon back home, but it's risky. Too risky. For us and for him."

Tiger smirks. "I'm in, Tae too."

"Oh, please, it can't be that bad Yoongi. What is it?"

"See, Yoongs, I haven't gone nuts after all." he turns his head at Jungkook and Tiger, who remain standing in a corner. "We only have one way to bring Namunskins home: kidnap him."

"Holy moly! How on earth are we going to kidnap him?" Jungkook turns to Yoongi with his eyes wide open. "Are you sure this is our only option?"

"That's what I was telling him."

"Hoseok's right. If you want him back, kidnapping will work just fine."

"And if it doesn't?" Yoongi questions him.

"Sounds like a you problem, he's not my boyfriend—but Hoseok's right." Tiger adds before they can jump down on his throat. "If you try to make any move on Namjoon, they may notice it. He probably already talked about you, about meeting you. Let's try it and then we'll see what we do once he's here."

"Bring his brain back sounds cool to me." Yoongi adds, defeated. He won't be able to change their mind. If we've to do this, better do it right and with a plan. "We risk everything in this mission, don't forget it."

"So, what do you say Bunny? Do you join us?"

"Sure, if you're in, I'm in. I also want Joon back. Let's tell the others and make a plan -"

"Wait! Wait, wait, wait." Hoseok rushes by his side and puts a hand on his shoulders. "Can we keep this between us?"

Yoongi stands up and approaches them. "What do you mean? Are you not planning on telling Seokjin and Jimin?"

"They deserve to know it, Hobi." Jungkook says in a calmer manner. "We'll need their help."

"I know, I know. But look at Jin! What if he gets his hopes up and our mission fails? I don't want to bring them fake hopes and watch them break again. Until Namjoon stands under this roof, let's keep it between us."

"And Jimin?"

"He's highly sensitive too, you know that!"

Tiger glances at Jungkook just for a moment, but stays quiet.

Yoongi shakes his head and runs a hand through his face. "I dunno, if they find out we didn't tell them anything, they won't forgive us. Bringing Joon back is a big deal to all of us."

"But we're doing them a favour! Imagine their faces when they see him again! We can do it, just the four of us! It won't be hard to kidnap him . . . he seemed a bit . . . confused."

Yoongi sends him an incredulous look.

"Oish! Can you all trust me for once? It will work out! I've already planned everything."

"Have you?" Jungkook raises his eyebrows. "When did you start planning all this?"

Hoseok shrugs carelessly and walks towards the stools. "I mentioned it to Yoongs a few weeks ago, after our little fight."

Yoongi opens slightly his mouth in realisation. "Yeah, you told me . . . I didn't take it seriously."

"Mmm, I could notice it for myself Yoongs." Hoseok lets out, teasingly.

"So, when do we start?" Tiger asks, his eyes sparkling. "You'll need me - probably more than you'll need Taehyung."

Jungkook smiles.

He's proud of Tiger.

And he's proud he can call him his boyfriend.
