(Scene: Early morning, the family home. The house is quiet, but for the first time in days, Yamin is still asleep. The siblings are gathered in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. Yoongi is at the table, sipping coffee and reviewing some papers, but his eyes flick towards the hallway every now and then, waiting for Yamin to wake up.)
Jin: (bringing food to the table) She’s finally sleeping in. I didn’t think I’d see that happen.
Yoongi: (nodding) She needed it. But this can’t just be a one-time thing. We have to make sure she doesn’t push herself like that again.
Tae: (sitting down) It’s not just her, though. We’ve all been guilty of overworking. You included, Yoongi-hyung.
Yoongi: (glancing up, surprised but not denying it) I can handle it.
RM: (raising an eyebrow) That’s exactly what noona said before she collapsed. You don’t think you’re doing the same thing?
Yoongi: (pausing, setting down his coffee) It’s different. She doesn’t know when to stop. I know how to manage.
Jungkook: (seriously) Do you, though? You work as much as noona. Maybe even more sometimes.
Hobi: (nodding in agreement) You’re always the last one awake, and the first one up, hyung. When do you rest?
Yoongi: (a bit defensive) My work is under control. Besides, I’m not neglecting my health.
Jin: (raising an eyebrow) You think skipping meals and working late into the night is healthy? You’ve been doing the same thing Yamin was, just hiding it better.
Yoongi: (pausing, considering their words) I’m not... collapsing like she did.
Tae: (softly but firmly) Not yet. But you’re running on empty too, hyung.
(There’s a silence as Yoongi leans back in his chair, processing the words. For the first time, he feels a twinge of doubt about his own habits.)

(Scene: Later in the afternoon, Yamin wakes up and heads to the living room where the others are relaxing. She looks a little more refreshed, but still tired. Yoongi is seated on the couch, looking deep in thought. Yamin walks over, and the siblings all watch her closely.)
Yamin: (softly) I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck.
Yoongi: (sternly but concerned) That’s because you didn’t take care of yourself.
Yamin: (sitting down next to Yoongi) I know, oppa. You’ve already made your point.
Yoongi: (softening a little) I’m not trying to be harsh. I’m just worried.
Yamin: (sighing) I’m sorry. I didn’t realize how much I was neglecting myself. I thought I could handle it all.
Yoongi: (nodding) That’s the problem. You always think you can handle everything. But you don’t have to do it alone.
Yamin: (smiling weakly) I know. I just... hate feeling like I’m not doing enough.
Jin: (joining the conversation) We all feel that way sometimes. But pushing yourself past your limits isn’t going to help anyone. Look at Yoongi. He does the same thing.
Yoongi: (glancing up) What?
Yamin: (raising an eyebrow at Yoongi) Yeah, oppa. You work just as much as I do. Maybe more.
Tae: He’s just better at hiding it, but we see it, hyung.
Yoongi: (sighing, rubbing his temples) This isn’t about me.
Yamin: (teasing softly) Maybe it should be. You’re always telling me to take care of myself, but you’re the one running on fumes too.
Yoongi: (seriously) I’m fine, Yamin-ah.
Jin: (shaking his head) You’re not, Yoongi-ah. We’re just as worried about you as we are about Yamin.
Hobi: You don’t have to carry everything alone either, hyung. We’re all here. Just like you told noona, trust us too.
Yoongi: (falling silent, realizing the truth in their words, his stubbornness faltering)
RM: It’s okay to take a break, Yoongi-ah. The world won’t fall apart if you slow down for a bit.
(Yoongi exhales, looking at Yamin, who’s watching him with a knowing look. For a moment, they sit in silence, both of them reflecting on how similar their struggles are.)
Yamin: (gently) You don’t have to be the one to always hold everything together, oppa. Let us help you too.
Yoongi: (softly) I just... I didn’t want to burden anyone.
Yamin: (smiling warmly) That’s how I felt. But I get it now. We’re not a burden to each other. We’re family.
(Yoongi nods, finally letting his guard down. He leans back into the couch, a weight lifting off his shoulders.)

(Scene: Evening, the family gathers around the dinner table. The atmosphere is relaxed, a welcome change after the stressful days they’ve all been through. Yoongi is sitting next to Yamin, both of them noticeably more at ease.)
Jin: Yamin-ah, you’re eating properly now, right?
Yamin: (smiling) Yes, oppa. Don’t worry, I’m following doctor’s orders.
Yoongi: (teasing slightly) You better. I don’t want to see you back in that office until you’ve fully recovered.
Yamin: (playfully)* You too, oppa. You’re taking your own advice, right?
Yoongi: (grinning slightly) I’m working on it.
Tae: Finally, some peace around here. No more late-night work marathons from either of you.
Jungkook: If I catch either of you working past midnight, I’m locking the doors.
RM: Agreed. From now on, no one overworks themselves. We take breaks. No exceptions.
Hobi: (nodding happily) I’ll make sure to schedule some dance sessions. That’ll help everyone relax!
Yamin: (laughing softly) I’ll leave the dancing to you, Hobi.
(The family laughs together, the tension from the past few days finally gone. There’s a warmth at the table that hadn’t been there before, a sense of unity as they all recognize the importance of supporting each other.)
---
(Later that night, as everyone starts heading to bed, Yamin passes by Yoongi’s room. She knocks softly and peeks in.)
Yamin: Oppa, you awake?
Yoongi: (sitting at his desk, but with no work in front of him) Yeah, come in.
Yamin: (walking in and sitting on the bed) I just wanted to say... thank you. For looking out for me.
Yoongi: (softly) You don’t have to thank me. That’s what family does.
Yamin: (nodding) I know. But still... I appreciate it. You’re always looking out for everyone, and I think sometimes we forget to look out for you.
Yoongi: (smiling slightly) I’m not so easy to take care of.
Yamin: (grinning) Neither am I, apparently.
Yoongi: (chuckling softly) You’re right about that.
Yamin: (standing up) Anyway, I’m heading to bed. You should too. No late-night work, okay?
Yoongi: (nodding) I’ll get some rest. You too.
(As Yamin leaves the room, Yoongi watches her go, a smile tugging at his lips. For the first time in a while, he feels at peace, knowing that they’ll all be there for each other no matter what.)
