"Jeon Jungkook! Kim Taehyung!"
Another stream of steady knocking filled the previously silent hallway.
"You two better open up or -"
"Or what, Min Yoongi?" A new voice barked.
Yoongi, whose fist dropped from the door, glared at the newcomer. "Stay out of this, Jimin."
Jimin quickly approached, his eyebrows knit together. "You're acting ridiculous. Causing a scene in the middle of a hotel hallway at two in the morning? You're better than that."
"I just want to talk to them, that's all," Yoongi defended, turning back to the door. "I just want to talk!" He voiced louder, starting to knock again.
"You can talk when the sun is up," Jimin tried reasoning with the elder, grabbing his wrist. "Let them be for tonight."
The producer spun to face him. "Did you have any idea Taehyung planned on coming here?"
The younger rolled his eyes. "No, and -"
"I know someone who helped facilitate this," a booming voice sounded from down the hall.
Namjoon was storming up to Yoongi and Jimin, Jin trailing not far behind.
Yoongi's gaze locked on Jin. "You did this?"
"If you mean helped my brother follow his heart, yes. Yes, I did," Jin responded firmly, not backing down from the hostility. "And honestly, I don't get why either of you are so upset. Did you even watch that live?"
Namjoon threw his hands in the air. "That's not the point! Taehyung and Jungkook both went against the company's orders. They could get fired because of this."
"At this point, it doesn't seem either cares if they're fired or not," Jimin added, a death grip still around Yoongi's wrist. "Jungkook understood the consequences when he opened up tonight."
"And Taehyung knew what would happen when he flew here," Jin piped up, looking between Namjoon and Yoongi.
The younger producer scowled. "That doesn't change -"
A door opened a few yards down and Hoseok poked his head out. "All of you in here, now."
Jin and Jimin went to the choreographer's room without question, leaving the two grumbling producers in front of Jungkook's door.
"You two really do not want to make me angrier with you than I already am," Hoseok warned, planting his hands on his hips.
Namjoon and Yoongi begrudgingly walked into Hoseok's room, slamming the door closed behind them.
Once the five boys were crowded in the room, Hoseok rounded on the producers. "I was going to call security to report a disturbance before I recognized your voices."
"Still should have," Jimin mumbled, earning a dark look from Yoongi.
Hoseok ignored him. "Seriously, what did you hope to accomplish? To scream at them? To tell them how they just ruined their careers? What?"
Namjoon and Yoongi looked sheepishly at him before bowing their heads in regret.
"Those two boys made a conscious decision to do what they did because they love each other, for fuck's sake. They knew the risks and they decided to make those choices regardless. Didn't you see how happy they looked?" Hoseok waited for an answer, refusing to back down.
Namjoon sighed. "Of course we did. I just don't want to see them lose everything . . . I'm afraid for them."
Yoongi nodded. "We could have helped."
