San Francisco, California.

It took entirely too long to get here and they were ready to head to Korea.

Airplanes were too much and too expensive for them to pay for by themselves. They were taking a boat.

Baby Joongie excitedly ran toward the boat and climbed aboard.

"Mama! I be captain!"

"Wow I didn't know you were the captain. Hehe."

"I drive boat!"

Baby Joongie ran up the steps as everyone placed their bags down. He went up to the boats captain, and have him a baby type interrogation.

"Hi."

"Hi there."

"You bring us home?"

"Yes I will. Wanna help me drive?"

That was exactly what he wanted to hear, "Yeeee!"

The captain sat him on the seat and let him grab the assistants wheel. When he started the boat, Hongjoong squeaked in excitement.

Seonghwa and San came up the steps and saw the two steering. Hongjoong saw his Mama and waved his hand.

"Mama look! I can drive!"

"How precious..."

When they went back down the steps, they found Jongho sitting at the edge of the boat. He was enjoying the breeze over the water and watching California slowly disappear in the distance.

"Hello hyungs, wanna enjoy the breeze with me?"

San sat with him and stared at the water, "I am so happy to be on our way back home."

"Me too. Seonghwa hyung come join us!"

Seonghwa wasn't listening, he was staring at the boy in the captain's room. He waves his hands to his baby and smiled.

Hongjoong waved back again and let go of the wheel. He got up from the seat and went downstairs, leaving the captain alone with a good memory of meeting a little.

"Mama?"

"Yes baby?"

"Why is adult Joongie angry when I talk to you?"

"He's mad at me baby. Are you?"

"No. I can't be mad at Mama! But adult Joongie is really sad when I say hi."

Seonghwa sighed. He knew why he was sad. But he was determined to make both little Joongie and big Joongie happy.

"When we get home, I'll talk to adult Joongie, agreed?"

"Ok."

(4 Hours Later)

It was 5 in the morning and Hongjoong was not sleeping.

He had come out of little space and was contemplating life on the top deck of the boat.

He smiled as he got a photo from Yoongi. He was dressed in his performance gear and ready to go on stage. He guessed that this photo had to be from earlier that day purely because concerts don't happen at 5 am.

"I can't wait to see you again."

Soon, he would. But just how soon?

Would he accept what Yoongi had to offer?
