Namjoon furrowed his brows looking at the screen seeing a signal coming from the house. He scratched his head looking up when Taehyung walked into the room and took a seat right on his lap cuddling into his neck "Joonie come back to bed it's cold" he whined.

"Just a little bit longer Yoongi asked me to secure the area" he said biting his lip softly in concentration. Why would a signal be transmitted from here? Did Yoongi have a phone Namjoon didn't know about?

"This can wait nobody will find us way put here" Tae whined again trying to get his attention.

"Baby" he sighed "why are you so needy?" Namjoon asked rubbing his back.

"I don't know just feeling kinda lonely" he sighed softly letting go of Namjoon. His playful smile disappearing as he climbed out of his lap and stretched. He knew his clinginess was annoying but he didn't expect to be rejected that quickly.

"Baby stop" Namjoon groaned looking at Tae's face.

"What?" He asked still standing.

"Don't be mad at me" he said looking up at him.

"I'm not" he said walking away from Namjoon and shutting the door. The elder rubbed his face hard and shut the laptop and got up to follow the younger who had made his way to the main living room and was seated on the squishy couch under some blankets.

"Baby" he said tiredly as he crouched down cupping his face "I wasn't trying to sound annoyed I was just busy" he said quietly.

"I know" he said expressionless.

"Then stop being mad"

"I've not been mad" he said shrugging "you can go finish your work though"

"I won't be able to focus on work if I know you're mad at me" he said holding his face and kissing his nose.

"Like I've been saying I'm not mad" Tae said more firmly "I would be happy if you finished your work so you would stop being so stressed" he added a fake smile at the end "please"

Namjoon rolled his eyes and stood up "sometimes you're impossible to please" he said walking out.

Tae frowned those words rattling around in his head. Was he really impossible to please? Did Namjoon think that he was never satisfied with anything? That thought alone made him rather sad.

He laid in that exact same spot until Yoongi walked in nearly sitting on him by accident because he was so well hidden. "What are you doing baby?" He asked.

"Nothing" he muttered.

"You're upset" he said it like an observation since it was clearly written on his face as he sat down and started rubbing his scalp.

"Please don't touch me" Tae whispered closer to tears that wouldn't fall. The elders hand froze and lifted from his head "what's wrong?"

"Nothing I'm just-"

"Oh hey guys" Jimin grinned walking into the living room with a chocolate bar absentmindedly. He laid down on the couch putting the blanket over him before cuddling into Tae's chest and holding up the chocolate "want a bite" he asked.

Tae took a tiny nibble and wrapped his arm around Jimin's small body. He glanced at Yoongi who shared a look with him saying this wasn't the end of their conversation. Jimin smiled and ate his candy while being cuddled in warmth while Yoongi took a couple sneaky pictures because they looked so cute.

It wasn't until later in the day when Yoongi confronted Tae again in the privacy of the bathroom.
