It was already 17 days since they had arrived and Hoseok didn't seem to be doing well. He looked sickly as he slept peacefully on the couch. The smoothness and natural pink and brown of his lips replaced by dry and blue in color. His skin going pale or green when he felt like throwing up the little bit he ate.

Yoongi brushed his hair out of his face and touched his lips softly.

If anything their current situation was bringing harm to the younger. He missed his children dearly, he only wanted to hold them in his arms again. The young omega lost most of his appetite which depleted his energy as he spent more time sleeping and resting. He had lost too much weight along with it and it caused Yoongi great heart ache. All he felt was his omega's pain that he couldn't sooth away. He wished that they could hop on a plain and head straight home but the information he was received was still not enough to come up with a plan.

Yoongi kissed the younger's forehead and got up to leave. He was going to pick up a few things for their day out tomorrow that was a surprise as well as more information was brought to him.

When Hoseok had woken up a kid was knocking on the door. He found it odd that someone was knocking and he tried to call for Yoongi but he saw the note saying he was leaving and someone was going to visit. He guessed that was them at the the door but he was still cautious.

"Hello Mr. Jung Hoseok." The small 12 year old boy said.

"Uhm. Hello. Are you the guest Yoongi told me about?"

"Yes. My name is Daisuke. Yoongi Hyung told me to keep you company."

"Well come in." Hoseok moved to the side to allow the young boy inside. "How do you know Korean so well?"

"Miss. Tomiko-san taught me."

"The lady that used to live here?"

"Yes. Since I was 8."

"How old are you now?"

"12."

"Wow. She must've taught you a lot."

"Yes. Yoongi Hyung also sends me Korean books to learn more or just read for fun." The boy smiled, a warmth spread to his chest and he smiled back.

"He's very kind then. I didn't even know he did that."

"Yes. When he comes to visit, he always makes sure to come see me. He even told me about his kids. I want to meet them."

"And I'm sure they'd love to meet you too." Hoseok felt a small amount of pride swell in his chest. He knew Yoongi was kind and he did the most he could to help those in need and hearing the boy say those things made him a bit happier. Yoongi must have really loved and cared for the child and his Nanny must've been something truly special to him.

Hoseok and the young boy continued to talk and play until Yoongi had arrived. Hoseok's mood had gone up as he felt more energized while laughing mindlessly at the boy's silliness and the odd questions he had asked about himself or the children. He got dizzy once in a while but he would push it away knowing it was due to the lack in nutritiens and dehydration.

They were currently sitting on a couch where the boy was reading a Korean children's book and Hoseok listened to him read as he wrapped his arm around the boy and helped hold the book. He'd help correct him pronounce a word or two. They heard the door open and got up heading in that direction.

"I'm back."

"Welcome back." The two repeated and the boy ran up to Yoongi giving him a hug and helping by taking a bag out of his hands. Hoseok got up too and took his back pack and jacket but Yoongi didn't let him take the backpack.

"What did you buy?"

"Groceries and treats for us and a movie or two." Yoongi kissed Hoseok's cheek and followed the boy into the kitchen to put everything away.

"What did you think of him?" Yoongi asked when the boy had gone away into the restroom. Hoseok was caught a bit off guard as he jumped slightly, Yoongi letting out a soft amused chuckle.

"He's a smart kid. Well behaved too and well spoken. He's being raised well." Yoongi nodded his head and smiled pleased with Hoseok's response since he planned for the boy to stay with them and keep Hoseok company. Hopefully he would bring color back into Hoseoks skin.

"Thank you, Yoongi Hyung." Hoseok gave Yoongi a back hug and kissed his nape. "I know what you're doing and I really appreciate it." Yoongi scrunched his nose at being found out.

"You're welcome. You need this you know you've been very sad lately. It worries me." Hoseok nodded his head and continued to place the cut fruit into a bowl. "Tomorrow we'll go to the beach and have some fun. How does that sound?"

"I like it."

The boy had returned hearing the news and new found smile on his face.
"Daisuke what do you think of my future wife?" Yoongi spoke in Japanese and Hoseok stood there with out knowing a single word they said.

"Wife? You haven't married yet?"

"No. I'm going to propose when we go home. I want him to be very happy. What do you think?"

"I think he will be happy."

"He's pretty isn't he?"

"Yes. Very pretty." They both laughed and Hoseok pouted feeling left out.

"Talk in Korean. I don't understand."
They both shook their heads and Hoseok whined in protest.

"Tell me!" Hoseok pouted. Yoongi cupped his cheeks and kissed his pouty lips then smiled before leaving the kitchen with snacks and the boy tried to follow but Hoseok hugged him holding him behind
"Tell me what you were talking about."

"I don't want to."

"Why not?"

"Yoongi Hyung said not to." Hoseok began to tickle him. "Fine fine. He said that you're very pretty and that he loves you." The boy ran off to the living room and sat next to Yoongi taking Hoseok's spot so the boy ended up between them. Half way through the boy was asleep thanks to Hoseok combing through his hair.

"You should take him upstairs so he can sleep comfortably." Yoongi groaned than carried the boy up the stairs. Hoseok helped pull the covers back then put them over the boy. The walked back into the living room and cuddled finishing the movie
