""Your here already?"

"Yeah, umm -"

"I'll be down in a minute." Seokjin said into the speaker of his phone, pulling on some Jeans.

"Ummm, Jin?"

"Yes?" The omega paused listening to the others now different voice. "They won't let me in."

"Uh?"

"Security won't let me in." Hoseok said to him, his voice sounding confused, a lot like the expression on Seokjin face. "Just tell them your coming to me."

"Already did." Seokjin furrowed his eyebrows at that, Hoseok had been here a lot of times. There is no way they would not know him, or stop him from entering the premises. "Ok, I'll be out there in a minute."

He hang up the phone moving to the walk in closet to pick a pair of his many rubber shoes. He put them on before moving out of the house. He loved their home, but sometimes living in this modern mansion sort of house got to his nerves. Security was never a trouble, just check in by a guard before they entered, it wasn't that serious.

Namjoon had hired such personnel because of the numerous business guests they had over, or parties that took place in the home, it was a safe option especially now with the pregnancy, but Seokjin had never heard of a guest denied entry, especially Hoseok who the guards knew.

He walked the distance to the gate loving the feel of his muscles stretching, he missed going out, or walking in the sun, he missed a lot of things from the outdoor. "What's going on here?" He questioned as he reached the entrance. He could see Hoseok's car parked out, the man leaning against the side.

The guard bowed immediately muttering apologies. "I am so sorry sir."

"It's OK, he's with me, buzz him in." He waved off the guard.

"I can't sir."

"Excuse me?" He said his voice a little loud. The man bowed again in apology. "Sir Namjoon gave specific orders to not let him in Sir." Seokjin was taken back by that, he did not hear that right. "What?"

"Sir Namjoon ordered to not let Mr Jung hoseok in."

"Well he's with me let him in." Jin said sternly, he could not believe this. He couldn't believe the nerve of Kim Namjoon either, and not inform him of any of this? It was embarrassing, to both him and Hoseok, and it made him look like a complete fool in front of the help.

The man looked at him skeptically, although it was clear what side he was on. Seokjin was going to reprimand him once more because he was getting on his nerves, but Hoseok spoke.

"Its Ok Jin. Come on out." Hoseok assured removing his hands from his pockets, the beta was clearly taken back by this too. Seokjin looked at the guard one more time, the man still muttering apologies. He wasn't at fault, just following orders. So Seokjin huffed, going out the gate instead.

"Am so sorry Hobi." He said immediately as he hugged the other, he had missed him so much, it had been a month already. "Don't worry about it, am not that surprised."

"Your my best friend, Namjoon just can't do that."

"We don't really get along that much now." He smiled as they pulled apart. Hoseok could tell the other was still embarrassed by what had just happened, a little hurt too. "Its fine, I really wanted to spend some time with you."

"Me too hobi..." Seokjin said as a thought came to mind. "...How about we just go out instead?" Seokjin proposed. Hoseok had left work just to visit him, and he wasn't about to let the other be chased away like that. Besides he missed his best friend.

"Is that ok? I don't want you straining yourself."

"I'll be fine, the doctor recommended walks, and I miss being outside too." He said with a smile. He could treat this as his first outdoor activity, plus the whole stunt Namjoon had just pulled had him feeling do some type of way.  Hoseok looked unsure but after a little push from the other he relented, opening the car door for him.

"We are not going to take long, just lunch and your back to the house." Hoseok warned as he got to his side too. Seokjin couldn't help think he sounded a lot like Namjoon, both treating him like an egg. He agreed anyway, excited to get some air.

It had been a month since he returned, couped up at the confines of his house. He didn't necessarily hate it, he just didn't like how alone he felt. Namjoon was there, but they were in two different world's, two different but similar thoughts. They were both crumbling from the inside, the bond between them present but weak.

Today the alpha had left early for work, promising Seokjin that he would be back around the afternoons. Unbeknownst to him, Namjoon was busy raking the world for Seulgi, and plotting against her. The alpha was getting payback for what had been done to him.

Seokjin had called Hoseok to disturb him at work because he was bored, but the beta had informed him that he was free for a couple of hours, and they could hang if he wanted to.

"Am really sorry about earlier, I didn't know Namjoon had done that."

"Its fine, he doesn't like me that much." Hoseok replied not even bitter about it. Seokjin was aware of the tension between the two, they weren't the best of friends before, but now it had escalated. He could tell Namjoon didn't like that he had taken refuge at Hoseok, or how the beta called him frequently to check on him. He saw the fury that flashed in the alpha's eyes every time.

"Is he giving you a difficult time at work?" He asked the beta who had his attention on the road. "Nothing I haven't done before." Hoseok smiled to reassure him, he really was some ray of sunshine, and seokjin couldn't help feel like it was his fault that the other was having a hard time with Namjoon. They were two dearest people to him, and he hated how he was right in the middle, causing a ruckus. "Nothing is your fault. Don't do that." Hoseok spoke him out of his thoughts.

Seokjin only smiled knowing the other must have seen through him. They sat in their favourite restaurant for lunch, the omega ordering yoghurt to go with his meal. He had come to accept that it was his craving.
"How are you doing?" Hoseok asked as they received their food.

Seokjin wrapped a hand around his bump, a smile on his face. It had become a habit, the thought of his baby automatically bringing a smile to his face, then a hand to his stomach. "Ok, I think the baby is doing fine, but we'll know for sure next week. We have an appointment."

Hoseok smiled with him, seeing the excitement in his face, "and you? Are you doing alright." The beta asked again, he watched the others smile flatter a little. It saddened him that up till now his best friend was still hurting.

"I don't know Hobi." Seokjin admitted truthfully in a small voice, knowing he could trust Hoseok with anything. He played with his food, his emotions playing at his throat. "Am scared, for the baby and for us."

"Talk to me."

The omega shook his head lightly, there was so much to say yet so little. Seokjin didn't know how to tell that since the last time Namjoon apologized when they laid together in bed, the alpha hadn't done it again. Namjoon had not made another attempt, Seokjin didn't know how he would tell him that he was scared the alpha had given up, that he had left them in the hands of none.

It felt like a waiting game on the two of them. Him waiting for Namjoon to get it right, and Namjoon probably waiting on him to state what he wanted. The ball wasn't necessary in either of their courts, it was just lying around for either of them to take and run away with. So they could make things right. But they both seemingly avoided it, reasons best known to them.

"He apologizes every time." He said to Hoseok, the beta nodding. "You don't want that do you?" Hoseok asked him knowingly, and he shook his head in agreement. "I just want him to be honest with me, I want him to tell me why he couldn't speak to me back then. Is that too much to ask?"

"I don't think it is." Hoseok said putting down his cutlery and holding his hand over the table. "Do I really have to beg it out of him? Isn't it obvious?" His eyes were starting to glaze over in their sockets, he had done a good job keeping down his emotions in the past week he didn't want to cry.

He blinked severally before smiling sadly at Hoseok. "I'm going to be ok right? Please say something." He said in an equally sad laugh when the beta just stared him.

"Do you love him?"

Seokjin didn't expect that question, he hadn't thought in depth about that. Mostly because he believed his love for Namjoon had not flattered in the slightest. His trust for the alpha was questionable, and often times he wondered if perhaps they got together a little too quickly, if maybe they didn't know each other well enough before they mated. But his love for for the alpha...it still ran deep in his veins, he could still feel the beat of his heart whenever the alpha held him. He still loved him the same.

"Why are you hesitating?" Hoseok brought him from his thoughts once again, and he widened his eyes when he realized what the other was insinuating. "No, I do. I just...I don't think I'll able to trust him the same soon. It broke me Hoseok, am not sure how I'll ever get back from that." He said.

Hoseok hoped it was that way, he hoped trust could be fixed, that his best friend would be the same once more. "I hope so too sweets." He smiled to reassure him, before they went back to their food, Seokjin not missing a chance to tease the beta. "Why are you sulking, your not the one with the problems." He said with a smile.

"Your problems are my problems." Hoseok stated.

"That's so chessy...Eww." The omega made pretend gag faces, before they both broke into a laugh. "You still love me though."

"Unfortunately." The omega replied before breaking into another laugh. They were lucky they were upstairs alone, because the kind of laughter they had going on was loud.

"Come on give me a hug." Hoseok announced getting up, he was really that ball of sunshine, that would shower you with hugs and kisses to cheer you up. Seokjin knew he had been on the receiving end of such affection countless times, and he didn't mind receiving a warm hug from his best friend.

"No." Seokjin joked moving his upper body from the beta.

"Come on." Hoseok pulled him out of the chair and up anyway, before wrapping his hands around him.

"Can I touch your belly?"

"Absolutely not." The omega said adding a small hiss to warn the other. Hoseok only laughed at the others intimidating stance. Both were unaware of the angry alpha by the door, literally fuming with rage when he saw his omega kissed on the cheek with a rather loud Hoseok. Seokjin only realised when the beta was yanked from him, by Namjoon, a punch landing squarely on Hoseok's face.

Namjoon had been in an important meeting when a call came in that Hoseok had shown at his home, and had left with his Omega. He hated Hoseok, but now the beta was pushing his buttons, going as far as taking the pregnant omega out and now touching him?

Namjoon had finally broken that ball of anger as he got over Hoseok and punched him again, even the scream from his omega wasn't enough to get him to calm. He made to punch the other again, but his fist was blocked before a punch landed on his own face. Words didn't need to be said as they ravaged each other, it was like they had been waiting for this moment.

Who did Hoseok think he was? Touching his mate. Namjoon had gone as far as banning him from his resident in an attempt to keep him away, but the beta had some guts to not only take Seokjin away, but TOUCH HIM TOO?

"Stop, Namjoon, Stop." Another scream from Seokjin, closer to his ear but not enough to snap him out. Tables were scattered everywhere, plates broken and food thrown in all corners of the room. Hoseok was fighting him back, and that only angered Namjoon more. Hoseok was surprisingly strong for a beta, going this far with an angry Namjoon, most people would be knocked out cold by now. We are talking alphas.

The omega made to move to separate them but Hoseok chose the same time to try and roll Namjoon over, successfully hitting the omega.  Seokjin was knocked off his feet by the move, and he stumbled unsteadily, before his back met a table, his skin digging into the furniture. A whimper left his throat as he finally landed on his butt. His hand clutched at his stomach protectively, heart beating loudly in the confines of his chest.

That had the two fighting idiots to a stop, both scrambling off each other to attend to him, well Namjoon more so than Hoseok. The beta still seemed dazed. "Jin, are you hurt, where, are you- "

"Am fine." He said stopping the alpha, and internally assessing himself for any pain, especially in his stomach, all while trying to breath through the many choking pheromones in the room.

"Jin." Hoseok called struggling to get up, prompting Namjoon to pick up his omega. "Stay away from us Jung. And this isn't over." The alpha announced before turning away to leave with a crying Seokjin in his arms.
