"Joon-ah."

"What."

Yoongi sighed. "You need to get surgery soon before it gets worse and becomes permanent."

"Cancer's not permanent."

"Unless it kills you." Yoongi crossed his arms, sighing again. "Look, your doctor said it could get worse if you don't treat your back right. After the surgery, you'll get some metal parts in your back and you'll be in a brace for like a few months. You need the surgery. Now."

Namjoon bit his bottom lip, fluttering his eyes and stopped leaning on the balcony, turning around to face his Hyung. "I know."

Yoongi's soft side showed when he noticed the tall boy is tearing up. "Joon-ah..." He walked up to him, lifting his hands up to his face to wipe the tears away. "It's okay. I know you don't like hospitals."

He scoffed. "It's not that..." Namjoon softly moved the older's hands away.

"Then what is it?"

The younger gulped hard. "...What if I'm not there when Taehyung shows up?"

Yoongi curled his brows, knowing that one person is special to the boy. "Aigoo. That won't happen." He placed his hand on his arm, caressing it softly. "You'll still be there when he shows up."

"I miss him."

"I know you do, I know." He continued to caress his arm.

"Hyung..." He whispered. "I don't know what the fuck I'm doing anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know the actual reason why I'm a chairman in the first place?"

Yoongi knitted his brows. "No. You never really told me."

Namjoon placed his hands on his Hyung's shoulders. "I only said I wanted to be a chairman so you wouldn't know why and you'll think I'm dumb for knowing the truth."

Then Yoongi knitted his brows. "What?"

"Hyung." He softly sighed, moving just hands away nervously. "I wanted to be his target."

"What the fuck are you saying?" Yoongi moved away.

"Hyung, listen to me—"

"This whole time you were risking your life to get Taehyung back!? He could of fucking killed you!" Yoongi slicked his hair back. "What the hell Joon!?"

"He wouldn't kill me." Namjoon mumbled.

"He's not the same Taehyung Kim you've met! All of that mafia bullshit fucked him up!"

Namjoon started to feel anger. He knew his Hyung would get pissed over that but he had to come clean. He wanted the older to know the real truth since he's been hiding the reason why. But his anger easily faded away. He knows he's dying..but his whole health situation was not before he did the whole being a chairman thing.

"Please stop yelling." Namjoon mumbled up, lowering his head. He doesn't remember taking is medicine for his depression.

"Mr.Kim?"

Namjoon fluttered his eyes and turned his head. "Yes?"

"Mister Jung is back."

Yoongi widen his eyes. "J-Jung Hoseok?"

Namjoon immediately walked up and passed the male who said that Hoseok's back. Yoongi followed, both walking at a fast pace to the first room. They both turned the corner and saw the boy with both of his arms wrapped up, one of the guards standing right beside him.

"Oh my god." Namjoon quickly walked over to him and put his arms around the boy. "We were so worried about you."

Yoongi got himself to also hug Hoseok. "You scared the hell out of us."

"I'm okay."

They released the hug, Namjoon noticing he's all patched up. "Hoseok-ah, who bandaged you up? Where were you this whole time?"

"I ran into an old friend and they helped." The boy mumbled.

"What old friend?" Yoongi spoke, knitting his brows.

Hoseok fluttered his eyes. "Yugyeom."

"Jeongguk's old friend?" Namjoon knitted his brows. "You guys were friends?"

"Wait, where the hell is Jeongguk?" Yoongi turned around and moved away, quickly took out his phone from his pocket and starting to FaceTime his boyfriend.

Hoseok fluttered his eyes away from his Hyung and looked at Namjoon. "Joon..I need to tell you something."

"You can tell me later, okay?" Namjoon softly rubbed his shoulder. "We need to get you into maybe new bandages and clothes. Maybe take a shower and all, alright?"

Hoseok gulped, softly nodding.

"I'll take him, Wonho. Thanks." Namjoon carefully put an arm around the boy.

Wonho nodded and went back to his spot. Hoseok slowly looked back at Yoongi to see him slightly panicking while staring at his phone, waiting for his boyfriend to answer. Jeongguk did answer his phone.

"Babe, where the hell are you?" Yoongi's voice wouldn't help to waver in worry.

"(I met up with my Hyung. Why? What's going on)?" Jeongguk signed from the phone screen with one hand.

"Hoseok came back from disappearing on us. Can you please come back?"

"(Okay, okay)." Jeongguk sighed.

"I love you, okay? I just..I'm having some issues right now and I've notice I haven't been saying that to you. I'm sorry." Yoongi rubbed the back of his neck.

"(It's okay, I love you too)." Jeongguk softly smiled, his smile suddenly fading. "(I'll be there in a bit. Don't worry)."

"Okay."
