It would be a lie if the boys said convincing Pd nim was easy. But when they sticked together, assuring Taehyung's mistake won't repeat and the boy regretted his actions now, also being one of the most successful artists under Hybe, Pd nim couldn't help but give in. However there were many new laws and conditions for him which Taehyung agreed to at once, happy that he won't have to leave his brothers because of his stupid actions out of jealousy and insecurity.

Taehyung hugged Jimin tightly, then Jungkook, thanking the boys for still having faith in him. He signed his contract with tears brimming his eyes, thanking god for giving such great friends who faught everything for him. 

"Jimin," Taehyung turned to his friend, handing him the pen, "Please come back, BTS isn't BTS without you."

"I told you Tae, I can't..."

"Please hyung, we'll help you with everything. I'll babysit Evie whenever I can. You can call me at night, or morning or afternoon. But please join BTS again." Jungkook said.

"I'll be a fan and watch you guys, I'll cheer for you when you perform and book the first seat in the concerts for me and Evie. But please don't ask me to do this, I don't have the energy to leave you all again. It hurts too much,"

"Boys!" Their manager's voice filled in as the door was pushed open and came in a happy man, "You're nominated for the Grammys!"

"What?" The boys frowned, staring at the manager who smiled and nodded, showing his phone to the leader first who then confirmed the news for the rest.

"It was today?" Jin blinked a few times.

"God! We forgot about this!" Hoseok gasped.

"My goodness! This is the best news we can get right now!" Jungkook smiled, joining the group hug, while Jimin smiled, standing aside, next to manager, shaking hands with him.

"Jimin," Namjoon called, "come, why are you standing there?"

Jimin smiled softly, hugging Namjoon, "Congratulations, I'm really happy for you guys." He said.

"No, you should be happy for us." Jungkook said, "—means including you."

"I'm not a member, Jungkook. It's your nomination."

"No, come on! Don't say that hyung. You wanted this too right?"

"I'm-"

"What happened Jimin?" The manager asked, "Is it something about the fans?"

Jimin shrugged slowly, "Well, not entirely, but yes. I doubt they'll accept me again after how I left everything in the middle without a solid explanation. Also, my daughter is still very young to be left alone. That's why I don't think I can do this again. I just came for Taehyung today... and it's time for me to get going."

"Your daughter," Sejin nodded slowly, placing his hand on Jimin's shoulder and smiled a little, "If it were a few months back, I would've reacted very differently. But seeing your bond with the boys, I can't bring myself to not like you Park Jimin. You've always been asset for the group and the company, and you're really strong. It would be stupid of us if we let go of a man like you, please join BTS again. Your fans will love you once they know the whole the truth."

Jimin stared at his feet, not knowing what to say, letting the silence take over. So the manager continued, "We'll hire a babysitter for your daughter, all seven of you can have weekends off. You've been working nonstop for eight years, that's really hard to do and you deserve it."

"I have a babysitter," Jimin confessed, "It's just really conflicting right now... I never thought I'll be here again like this,"

"I understand that, but we can assure you Jimin nothing wrong will happen. You have your boys, the agency will support you, your fans love you— It'll be fine."

"Yes hyung, please sign the contract. BTS is incomplete without you." Jungkook said.

"Yeah, he's right." Taehyung agreed, "Come back Jimin, you're my only best friend. I miss you."

"Don't think too much, you and your daughter will be our first priority." Yoongi promised with a smile.

"Yes, us and armys need to be friends with Jimin's baby." Hoseok said, making the boys chuckle.

"It's been so hard without you. I think you should really consider this." Namjoon patted Jimin's back.

Jin smiled a little, ruffling the younger's hair and said, "Listen to your heart, Jimin. This is a big decision."

Jimin sighed deeply, blinking a few times as his mind replayed the endless memories he made with his members and his fans; with his daughter while he was away from the hectic life; and with himself during the break where he felt alone quite often despite having his daughter with him. He knew a big part of him was BTS, and when he left that behind, Jimin wasn't Jimin anymore.

With tears blurring his vission, he found himself standing in the same room, his boys and manager staring at him with hopeful eyes with a pen and the contract papers lying on the table. A tear dropped from his eye, smiling a little as he stepped ahead, picking up the pen with a much lighter heart than when he picked it up for resigning.

"Thank you hyung," Jungkook rubbed his teary eyes, smiling widely as he hugged Jimin tight, "Thank you so much. I love you hyung,"

Jimin chuckled, patting his back and looked at the rest of the members, opening his other arm for a group hug. The members smiled fondly through glassy eyes, wrapping themselves around Jimin in a warm hug.

"I missed this so much," Jimin breathed out, wiping his tears. "Thank you for believing in me..."

"Always," Jin smiled.

"BTS is seven again, I'm so happy." Jungkook gushed, after pulling away and hugged the manager too, "Thanks a lot hyung. It wouldn't be possible without you."

"BTS is meant to be seven, who am I to break it apart?" Sejin chuckled.

Jimin smiled and hugged him too, "Thank you,"

"No problem, Jimin." Sejin patted his back, "Now pack your stuff and move to the dorm. It will take some time for you and the baby to get settled."

"Yeah but it'll be fine, I mean we're getting an off around Christmas." Namjoon stated, "Thank god we won't need to rush right away."

"Yeah, utilise that time wisely." The manager said, "I'll get your contracts updated. Y'all should head home now. And Jimin, call me if they aren't helping you move in alright?"

Jimin laughed, nodding his head in assurance seeing the manager faking his leave. The members sighed deeply, all feeling a calm and serene warmth in their chests as if everything was okay now. Taehyung threw his arm around Jimin's neck and walked out of the meeting room with the elders and the maknae.

"We'll pick Evie up first, then stay at my place today." Jimin declared, "I have improved a lot as a chef. "

"Yes! Jiminie hyung will cook dinner for us," Jungkook nodded quickly.

"Out of all the things, I loved the fact that Jungkook never left Jimin." Jin said proudly, making the youngest grin.

"Yeah, even I was surprised." Jimin nodded. "But seriously, he's so clingy. And with Evie, they both give me headache."

"Now Tae will join us too," Jungkook said.

"Of course," Taehyung smiled widely.

"Alright, let's go. Me and hyung will take Evie and arrive at home?" Jungkook asked and Jimin nodded, entering the car with the youngest while the rest came with Yoongi.

"I think we need to get some groceries." Jimin said.

"There isn't at home?"

"It might not be enough for everyone,"

"Okay," Jungkook nodded, "You don't regret signing the contract do you?" He asked cautiously, earing a smile from the elder.

"No,"

"And uhm one more thing," Jungkook said, and Jimin nodded, "I think you should wait for a few days before moving in with the hyungs. I mean, let the break start y'know? By then you can prepare yourself and Evie too."

"Hm I was thinking about it too. You all must be busy these days. So I think I should wait."

"We're not that busy. I'm staying at your place anyway, so that's not an issue."

"You should go back now."

"I'll go with you and Evie. We've waited for so long, a few more days won't hurt." Jungkook smiled, "But if you don't want me to stay with you then I might go back."

Jimin shook his head, telling Jungkook to pull by a store, "Hyung wait, I'll get the groceries. You can pick Evie up and then come back here. It'll save time."

"Alright," Jimin agreed, coming to driver's seat while Jungkook put on his mask, taking his wallet and headed and headed to the store.

"Evie, show them how strong you are." Jungkook said, laughing when the baby lifted her arm, showing her tiny biceps to him. She stood up, climbing on his lap, still not being familiar with the rest of the boys, and since her daddy was busy in the kitchen with two more guys, her nearest safe place was Jungkook.

"Dadda..." Evie mumbled, pointing at Jimin who was talking and laughing with Jin and Yoongi, nodding at something the eldest had said.

"Yes, dadda's cooking right now. We're gonna have really tasty dinner tonight." Jungkook smiled, making her sit properly, facing the boys and pointed at Taehyung, "This is  Taehyung, the one I showed you in my phone? Remember?"

"Daddy?"

"No, TaeTae,"

"Koo?" Evie looked back at Jungkook, tapping his chest, "Koo!"

"Yes, do you want something?"

Evie looked down, making a weird face, having the boys staring at her intently until Jungkook gasped and picked her up, scrunching his face, "You didn't hust poop your pants did you?"

Evie giggled, leaning forward to kiss his cheek but Jungkook pulled away and sighed, making her stand on her feet, "Hyung!" He called, "Evie needs to change her diaper!"

"Wait, I'm busy right now." Jimin replied.

"Can't you do it?" Hoseok asked Jungkook, "Okay who in this room knows how to change diapers? Our niece needs a change!"

"I can," Jungkook sighed, "Okay, Evie go get your diaper and the wipes."

"It's alright, I'm coming." Jimin said, laughing as he saw Evie walking to him, tugging on his pants and mumbled for him give her the diaper. "Is your best friend finally helping you out with the diapers?"

"Yes!" Jungkook huffed from the living room, "Evie come here, we don't need help from arrogant people."

"Daddy" Evie frowned, hitting Jimin and ran off to Jungkook who grinned victoriously, hugging her small body. Jimin sighed deeply, glancing at the rest of the boys who were laughing amusedly at how smart his daughter was and the power Jungkook has over her and vice verse.

Jimin brought the bag with her diapers and baby wipes, sitting down on the cushioned mat where Evie always played. "Come, let's get you changed." He said, motioning his hand for his baby but Evie shook her head, and pointed at Jungkook.

"He won't do it, come here. Daddy will make it real quick. Then Evie can play with her uncles."

"Daddy no... Koo,"

"I told you first, she likes me more." Jungkook grinned, taking the bag from Jimin.

"Alright, good for me. I won't be worried about her diapers anymore." Jimin said, standing up and leaned near Jungkook, whispering for just him to hear, "Go in and get her changed."

Jungkook nodded, standing up and holds Evie's hand, heading to the nursery close to the staircase, "Clothes too?" He asked suddenly, stopping by and looked at Jimin who nodded.

"They seem really close," Jin chuckled, making Jimin smile.

"Yeah, Jungkook likes her company and Evie enjoys playing with him too. She cries a lot when he's not around."

"They're so cute," Hoseok cooed.

"Jimin, we never came to know about Evie's mom..." Namjoon mentioned, earning nods from the boys as they too realise they never discussed this.

Jimin nodded slowly, smiling a little and said, "Let's keep that for tomorrow. It's getting late already, let's just have dinner today or it'll take too long."

"Sure," Jin nodded, "We have plenty of time for the talking."

"Exactly!" Jimin laughed.

"Aaabbababababa!" Evie babbled from inside, followed by Jungkook telling her to stay still and let him put on the diaper on her. However the next second, they saw the baby toddling out of the room, not wearing her pants, just a t-shirt from earlier.

"Aish!" Jimin sighed, "Go in, we don't stay naked in front of people."

"Dadda" Evie raised her arms up, looking and back as she cackled loudly, on seeing Jungkook coming after her.

"Evie!" He groaned, scooping her up in his arms and leaned closer to her ear, "Do you want them to see you naked? No right? Let's go then,"

Evie laughed, reaching out for Jungkook's face and leaves a wet open mouth kiss near his jaw, "Yeah, okay I'm not mad." He laughed too, heading back inside and comes out with her dressed in a onesie this time.

"Why did you make her wear that?" Jimin asked, frowning at the bunny onesie, "And when did we even get that?"

"It's a secret between me and Evie." Jungkook smiled smugly, bumping fists with the toddler which he had taught her to do just a few weeks back. "Now we're ready to play with the old uncles!"

"Yah! Who are you calling old?!" The boys shrieked at once and he laughed.
