Yoongi and Namjoon arrived home earlier than expected without Hoseok there to keep them motivated they decided it would be best to just use their time to relax, they were also both worried, Jin had sent them a text saying both Jimin and Hoseok were currently unwell.

They walked through the door and passed the living room noticing the two youngest boys sitting there, Taehyung was sleeping against Jungkook as he tried his best to quietly play his game so that he didn't wake his friend, Yoongi headed upstairs and Namjoon moved into the kitchen where he found Jin sitting there looking deep in thought, pulling his attention away from whatever he was thinking Jin greeted him, Namjoon walked over to the male wrapping his arm around his shoulder and rubbing his bicep, Jin let out a deep sigh and lent into his friend and closed his eyes

"That bad?" Namjoon quietly chuckled looking down and briefly resting his chin on top of the brunette's head before looking up again, Jin looked up and rolled his eyes

"Honestly, you have no idea, Jimin I can understand, he's just a little stressed, he'll be fine with some rest, but I can't understand Hoseok, he's never like this and I don't really know what to do" He looked down at his hands as he fiddled with his fingers, Namjoons face turned into a scowl, he knew Hoseok had a rough night but there was no need for him to be rude to Jin who was doing nothing but his best to keep everyone safe and sound, Yoongi entered the room looking annoyed, he grabbed a glass of water and took a sip, they both looked at him

"He won't open his door, just says he wants to be left alone" his head dropped and he sighed, Namjoon wanted so badly to go upstairs and tell his friend to get over it and stop acting like a child and hurting his friends but he knew that wasn't what he needed, he needed space so they all agreed to respect that, Hoseok was a rational person, he would come around eventually.

The three elder boys continued to talk as their youngest maknae walked into the room, heading over to the sink and grabbing a glass of water, turning towards them the boys noticed the slight worry Jungkooks eyebrows were displaying

"Kook, what's wrong?" Jin softly asked motioning towards the boy, Jungkook looked into his hyungs face, when Jin gave him soft expressions it always made him feel a little better, safer

"It's Tae, he's... he's just not feeling well, I think he needs sleep, he was up really early this morning" the boys all looked at each other giving glances of confusion

"What do you mean he was up early this morning" Namjoon asked him

"Well, I woke up this morning, I don't know why, I just felt like something wasn't right and I looked across and saw Tae wasn't in his bed, it was like 4am, I went out of the room to look for him and found him in the living room just staring outside..." Jungkook spoke softly, he had appeared normal to his hyungs all day but this was really bothering the younger, he opened his mouth to speak again but quickly closed it

"Kook, what is it? what do you want to say?" Yoongi asked him moving to the side of the boy letting him know he was here and wanted to help, Jungkook looked at Yoongi and his face dropped a little

"Hyung... it's like he wasn't there, it's like he was just a shell staring out, it took me a few tries to snap him out of it and he that he had no idea why he was there, I've tried to push it to the back of mind for Tae's sake, if I'm worried about it I can't imagine how he must feel" Jin softly smiled, he'd always thought it was adorable how Jungkook cared for his hyungs, even if to the outside world he seemed like the rebellious maknae who picked on his hyungs and just joked around, he was quite an empathic young boy and only ever wanted to see people smile, Yoongi and Jin looked at the boy with sad expressions while the latter noticed Namjoon looked away and was staring at an empty corner

"Just keep an eye on him for us Jungkook, is that okay?" Jin would offer to help but right now he was dealing with the other two boys who were upstairs "It's okay hyung, I don't mind I'm just a little worried, I'll let you know if anything happens" the younger walked off back to his friend calling his name as they heard him suggest they take a rest upstairs

The boys stopped in the hall as simultaneously everyone reached for their phones upon receiving a message, different expressions filled the boys faces, shock, concern, confusion, anger, they all looked around at each other confirming they all received the same message

"Would you risk your own life to save his? Park Jimin has responded with "Yes" Park Jimin, has succeeded, Min Yoongi will receive no punishment" Yoongi clutched his phone in his hand and ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs, Namjoon and Jin following after him shouting his name while the other two boys slowly trailed after, when they reached Jimins room they found Yoongi violently shaking him awake and a confused Jimin yelling at him to stop and asking what was wrong with him

"Jimin what the hell did you do, what does this message mean" he shouted at Jimin who closed his eyes and flinched away

"Hyung I don't know what's going on I've been asleep" Namjoon pulled Yoongi away as Jin approached the bed and grabbed Jimins hands

"Park Jimin, what did you do?" Jimin was confused, he'd been woken up minutes ago by a shouting Yoongi and everyone seemed angry at him, he looked at Jin and shook his head

"Hyung, I don't kno-" He was cut off as Yoongi once again approached him and shoved his phone in his face, Jimin read the text and his eyes went wide, frantically he looked around for his phone finding it had slipped down next to his leg, he opened his phone and his lips began to tremble, he looked up at Yoongi and Jin

"Hyung, I don't- I don't even remember replying to this" His face was covered in fear as Yoongi rushed forward to him and pulled him against his body, Jimin buried his head in the crook of Yoongis neck trying not to let the worry and panic wash over him, Jin got up and held his face in his hands breifly before sighing and lowering them

"I shouldn't have left it with you, you were barely conscious, I knew this was eating away at you, this is my fault" Namjoon walked over towards the elder and rubbed his back

"It's not your fault, look, this is nothing serious, it's just a stupid text right, let's just calm down, that means everyone" Yoongi had released Jimin and was now sitting next to him rubbing circles into his back as Jimin rested against him, watching the scene unfold the two youngest were standing at the door, Taehyung leaning against Jungkook for support as the two of them moved to the side as a figure approached the room, Jimin looked up as he noticed Hoseok walking in, his face looked sad as he looked down at his phone and up at Jimin

"Jimin.... why would you?" He asked Jimin his words barely coming out as a mumble, the others looked over at him, Namjoon moved over to read what was displayed on Hoseoks phone

"Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin has decided to save you, Your Punishment will be divided and shared" Namjoon just looked back and forth between the two and Hoseok once again asked

"Jimin.... why?" He looked at his friend, tears forming, he didn't want someone close to him to suffer because of him, Jimin just looked at the elder and gave a weak smile as he spoke with his kind eyes

"Because, it doesn't matter who they mean, I would choose to save any of you no matter what it meant for me" they all looked towards Jimin with soft eyes, Hoseok let the few tears escape from his eyes while Jin had walked over and brought Jimin into a big hug while tears of his own formed

Namjoon stood there watching everything, these boys, they were all so innocent all so caring, he watched as Jin motioned for Hoseok to join them and they all sat there hugging, softly sobbing and soft chuckling as Yoongi said this was all too much drama for a single day, Namjoon laughed along with them, he didn't speak it nearly enough, but he loved his little group, his family, the thoughts brought a smile to his face but it quickly vanished as he noticed they were missing a pair, he walked out of Jimins room and down the hall his body stopping at the door of the two youngsters, he gently opened the door to see a quiet Taehyung lost in a peaceful slumber as Jungkook sat by the edge of his bed and brushed his hair back, hearing his elder enter Jungkook looked back and gave a soft smile and a nod reassuring him that their friend would be okay and that it was okay to head back to the others, with a nod back Namjoon quietly closed the door and headed back to talk with the others about the messages.
