"The filming is delayed so stay in bed" Jin sunk beside sick Hoseok, giving the younger guy a stern look. A look that killed any of the members whenever they disobeyed him. Hoseok sat up with Jin's help, resting his back against the headboard " I don't think this is a big deal, I still can make it out through the filming" he murmured groggily.

"Bang PD is the one who gives the order. If you happen to have any complain, direct it to Bang PD" Yoongi walked in with a tray of chicken porridge and a glass of water.

Hoseok pursed his lips in disapproval not liking this at all "I don't want to become the reason that everyone has to put their job at halt. I can film our music video today" his brows pinched together showing his protest.

Annoyed, Yoongi handed the food to Jin with an unknowingly scary glare rendered them speechless "And isn't it selfish to say you are healthy when you are not? It was not a big deal; the filming can be pushed forward but not your health. Think of how to heal faster first then only you complain. Eat up and stop sulking" clicking his tongue, he left the room leaving Jin and Hoseok dumbfounded.

There was a moment of silence before Jin spoke up "You do realize, Yoongi is saying the right thing, aren't you? Do not overthink Hobi. Today's filming is meant to be pushed forward anyways, fret not there were problems with the locations. So, they had to make an amendment on that" he assured.

"Fine.." the sick boy grumbled in annoyance. Jin fed the younger guy patiently with affection and great attention. Whenever one of the boys' fall sick, they would sometimes turn into an adorable baby. Even the I-don't-give-a-damn Min Suga will be the cutest out of all them. Hoseok finished the porridge without much trouble, though most of time Jin had to force the food down his throat but he was able to eat all of it.

"Hyung.. Is it true the caretaker lady took care of me?"

"Yes, Seul was here when you passed out. But she left before I could thank her properly. I have no idea why she was in rush" Jin's lips were pressed together into thin line. To be frank, yesterday he hoped to see Seul even for a little while. Upon his arrival, he was welcomed by an empty house and small note from Seul.

She was obeying the contract that her mother had with the company a little too serious.

Hoseok hummed softly "I remember a woman's voice though I could not have a good look of her face that time. I wish to meet her and thank her one day. I thought you have her number? Can't you request her to come here?"

"I did try, but she refused to meet us. She is obeying the terms in the contract. We are not supposed to have any kind of contact with our caretaker, but I eventually broke one of the terms by contacting her through messages"

"She doesn't cause any harm well at first we though she was a sasaeng. Since her story matched with the original caretaker ahjumma, I trust her" Hoseok's eyes glimmered with hope. How can this guy have trusted a stranger so easily? Come to think about it, he had not met Seul face-to-face.

The older guy had a small smile at the corner of his lips "I trust Seul too.." his heart hopped slightly at the mere mention of her name. Oh, why was that?

Jin fixed the pillow under him, and laid Hoseok down with a satisfied now "Now, rest. I will wake you up in few hours, so you can eat your medicine" he pressed the back of his palm against Hoseok's hot forehead.

"Stop pampering me like a baby" he whined weakly accompanied by a soft cough at the end.

Smirking, Jin glared at his way "Arent you one?" Hoseok snuggled under the blanket to find warmth as he nodded weakly without complaint. He felt too weak to even open his eyes, for some reason his eyelids felt super heavy. It must be the food and unnecessary nagging from Min Yoongi.

"Call me if you need anything, sleep Hobi" he patted the top of his head before exiting Hope's room with the empty bowl.

Pacing back and forth in front of Bangtan's place, Seul growled in disapproval thinking of what she had gotten herself into. Her mother made her skip her job today just because she was concerned of Jhope's condition. She was not supposed to open her loud mouth and spilled everything to her mother just now. Now, she had to be the delivery girl for the day, running errands for her mother.

"Deliver this to the boys" placing a bag full of variety containers come from different sizes in front of clueless Seul, she shot her mother a questionable look.

Seul puffed her cheeks "Mom, I have work. I will be late, can't you make Hoon do the job?" she suggested, rejecting the request.

"He will not be back until tonight. Can you do me a favour and deliver this food to the boys. Drop everything that you do, I am sure you friend can cover it up for you. Plus, poor Hobi is sick, at this time he needs a comfort food for that dry throat" she sighed.

She gawked at her mom's reply trying to decipher this absurdity "Mom, you do realize Hoseok has six boys to look after him, right? And, Jin knows how to cook that so called comfort food. Leave him do the job"

"That is totally different! Jin's cook is alright but it is not enough for Hobi's body. What he needs right now is a healthy food. I cooked chicken ginseng and porridge for him to savour. And others can share it together in this cold weather"

"You are unbelievable mother! What happen with the so called 'the caretaker is not allowed to have any contacts with the boys'. This is a breach of contract!" she grew defensive.

Her mother shook her head with a soft huff "The term was breached long ago when you got caught by Yoongi-ah, so we might as well use this chance to meet them nonetheless. Besides, Jinnie contacted me last time to get me your number, so since we all have come to this..There is nothing we can do" Seul looked baffle, and out of sudden she felt victimized. Not that, she exposed herself voluntarily to the boys until she was caught by Min Yoongi. Things just turned out to be this way.

"I am not doing this"

"You are left with no choice"

"MOM WHY" she flailed her arms in disagreement almost too childish, but Seul did it anyway.

Her mother chuckled "Because I am your mother, now go wash up and deliver this before it gets cold! Don't forget to hand this to them by hand, do not place it in front of their doorstep. I am warning you Ji Seul" Seul cringed when her mother voiced out the plan that she had in her mind out loud. She really should not underestimate her mother.

"Should I press the button or just leave it here" she mumbled under her sharp breath. After struggling for few more minutes, Seul had finally decided to just leave the food at the doorstep, pressed the bell and quickly escaped before anyone saw her. Yes, that sounded legit.
