"Mom, I told you we can't stay. Yoongi has to meet back at the hotel. They're filming some show, and it's really important." I say as she starts taking the baked macaroni out from the oven. "Well too bad. I already started dinner. Don't be rude. I want us all to eat like family." She says. "Family? Ma, we aren't that serious." I had to stop her there. "Shīt you better be. He ain't gonna walk around planting kids and not pay the time and support." I rolled my eyes. She was very old fashioned. "We can come back to eat-" "What? But I'm hungry." Suga says, stepping into the kitchen. "I thought you had to be back." I replied. "Not until 9" he answered. "Now go sit back down and watch that weird one with your baby." I sighed. V was great with children. At the moment he was goofing around, making faces at Kae, who was propped up in his little seat giggling.

"Didyouseethat?! He'slaughing! Helovesme." I smiled. "They're fine." I said. "Go sit, while I cook." She repeats. "Fine." She can be so stubborn.
"SorryTae, I'mgonnahavetotakehim." I said before picking Kaelan up and sitting on the comfy sofa. I just wanted to hold my baby. I missed him and it's only been one night. Yoongi sat very closely and began to talk to Kae in his mother language. Kae began giggling. I hid my smile as the two bonded. Yoongi's 'baby talk' was cute, but not as cute as Kaelan's reactions to it. Without even asking, Yoongi took Kae, propping him up against his arm and he continued to play with him. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me extremely happy.
"Hyung, whydon'tyoutrypullingthesemovesthenexttimesomeoneasksyoutodoaegyo?" V teased. I chuckled. "Whydon'tyoumindyourbusiness?" Yoongi snaps back, returning his attention back to Kae. Tae just laughs it off. "Taehyungareyouokaywitheatinghere? Mymomisbeingstubbornandshesaidit'dberudetojustleavesinceshealreadystartedcooking." He seemed surprised that I asked. "OfcourseIameating. Iwasn'tleavingwithoutgettingsomeofwhatshewascooking. IsmelleditassoonasIwalkedinandIknewIwasn'tgoinganywhere." I laughed, he was so serious. "Alright." I responded.
I was going to text Namjoon to let him know, because knowing these two they'd just let the others worry about there whereabouts. I got up to get my phone out of the kitchen where I left it, unaware that Tae followed behind me. "Sao?" I looked at Tae. "You'recomingbacktoKorearight?" I was too unsure to answer that question. "I..Idon'tknow." I answered honestly. "But..Hyunghasalreadyboughtaseparatehouse. He'llbeatthedormforacoupleofmonths.

"He'slivinginahouse—alone?" I asked. "Wellanapartment, butit'sreallybigandniceandhehasHollyhisdog, butI'msureitcanstillbelonely. Sometimeshe'lljustcometothedormat 3amandsleepinhisoldbunk.

Evenhisdepressionseemstobeworsttoo-" "He'sdepressed? Depressed?" I interrupted his rambling. I was unsure if I was hearing the correct word, so I had to ask in English, but it wasn't like he knew the English word for it. "Yes, he'sbeendepressedforyears.

Histherapist-" I had already known about Suga's drinking habits, we talked about it while I was pregnant and it died down. He'd barely drink then, but a therapist? I had no idea. "Hehasatherapist?

Realizing that I had no right to become aggravated with Taehyung I apologized immediately after. "Mianhe ~ oppa. I'vejustbeenbeingforcedtomakesomanybigdecisionslately. Ididn'tmeantoberude." He smiled reassuringly. "Iknow. Youandhyungaren't-" he pauses mid-sentence before continuing. "-—together?" He finished. "Notexactly. Notofficially, Iguess." I answered. Suddenly, he nodded off oddly..Yes, oddly even for V.
