An Awaited Homecoming

Jin was anxious to get home. He'd had a hard time focusing all day worrying about his boys. Yoongi had been kind enough to send him updates but he still wished he could be there. He wished he could work from home so he could take care of his babies during the day.

He would have called on his lunch break but he was sure that would have upset the babies even more, particularly Kookie and Joonie. Yoongi had been up front about how hard of a time they were having. Hearing how Jungkook really was during the day broke Jin's heart.

He supposed ignorance was a bit of bliss because knowing the reality that Jungkook cried most of the morning and had only calmed down with a lot of attention and work from Yoongi was heartbreaking. What was even more heartbreaking was the fact that Jin knew Jungkook wasn't getting that kind of attention and care to help calm him down with Hoseok.

What was interesting to Jin was that Yoongi said that Hoseok hadn't even been out of his room since Jin left. That was strange to him. He knew Hoseok was caring for Jimin. The baby was always happy and bathed and fed when he got home. Not once had he come back from work with Jimin in a wet diaper or exhausted from not being put down for his nap. The fact that Hoseok had handed over care of Jimin to Yoongi so easily worried him. Sure he did it when Jin was home but Jin had been taking care of both littles from day one. This seemed a little out of character to how Hobi usually was.

Though, Jin had to admit, he didn't really know Hoseok all that well anymore. They used to be very close before Jungkook revealed his presentation to Hobi and Jimin. After that any semblance of a relationship Jin and Hobi may have had fell apart. Hobi had suddenly started distancing himself from Jungkook when he found out he was a little and treated him differently. Jin had never understood why he was like this. Jimin was a little and Hobi never treated him badly for it. It also broke his heart because he knew how much courage it took Jungkook to tell Jimin and Hobi. Jin also felt guilty for encouraging the boy to do so. He'd never imagined this was how it would turn out.

Jin sighed as he pulled into the driveway to their townhouse. He couldn't help but smile a little, excited to see his little ones. He knew he'd only known Yoongi, Tae and Joon a few days but they already felt just as much as his family as the others. He really hoped that they didn't decide to move out again when Yoongi got back on his feet. He wouldn't stop them, of course, he wasn't going to hold them hostage but something about this arrangement just felt right. Even if it was becoming complicated. He was planning to spend his next day off moving his things out of their office/storage room so Yoongi could have a bedroom. He felt bad that the man kept getting stuck on the couch.

Jin unlocks the door and steps in, happy that for once Jungkook wasn't just sitting there waiting for him. Yoongi had the boys crowded around the table with play doh, most likely trying to distract them as it got closer to the time Jin was coming home. Only Jimin and Namjoon seemed to be actively playing with it. Taehyung was busy with a few stuffed animals and Jungkook was fidgeting in his seat while Yoongi was trying to engage him. Probably too anxious for Jin's arrival to want to play.

Jin shuts the door with a click and Jungkook flipped around quickly. Yoongi having to steady him as he tried to vacate his chair as quickly and possible and run to Jin.

"Appa!" the boy screeches happily, wrapping his arms around the man's neck as he ran into the man's waiting arms and was lifted into his embrance, legs quickly linking around his waist as the boy tried to fuse their bodies together. "Miss you Appa! Miss you!"

The other boys quickly followed, Namjoon quickly bursting into tears as he made his way over and hugged the caregiver's waist. Jimin and Taehyung were not far behind. Jin had to put Jungkook down just to be able to hug all of them. The baby didn't let go of his death grip around his caregiver's neck but at least Jin could use both of his hands.
