Minho looked out the window of Sejin's room as he slept right next to the five year old. Minho shared the bed with the beta since he couldn't sleep without an omega or beta by his side and Sejin took it upon herself to share her bed with the three-year-old. However, Minho wasn't sleepy… He gazed out the window in silence and waited for his parents to show up so he could sleep with Jimin like always and have his father smiling instead of shouting and flashing his sharp fangs like anything ticked him off; in which, it could.

           Sejin opened her big and gleaming eyes to glance up and see the small alpha standing on the bed to look out the window and wait for his parents. “Daddy…? Father…?” Minho whispered as the beta then sat up and reached for the boy's hand to tug him down to sit. “No… Minho wants daddy…” Minho whispered as Sejin gazed up at the sad little boy. Watching the pup wipe his small tears from his round eyes. “They're coming for Minho…”

           “Minho, it's better if you don't pay attention to it. The more you give it attention, the less of a chance they'll take to get here sooner.” Sejin whispered and tied her long silk hair up with the hair tie sitting on her nightstand before she switched on the light of the lamp right by. Light filled the room as the two were both wearing the same style of pajamas, but Sejin wore her’s in a pastel pink color with pink ribbons as the designs drawn into the fabric while Minho wore a pastel blue color pajamas with yellow baby chickens as designs. “Your father and daddy will be here soon! I know it…”

             “Minho wants them now..” The boy continued. He felt alone in the room. He was used to being alone with his loving parents and would recall those scary days Jungkook and Jimin would have Jin and Namjoon take him away for a few days. Moments like these always became the roughest for the little one. He'd always ask himself if through these days, were his parents going off to replace Minho? Those were the endless things that would surface around the boy's fragile mind when his parents weren't around to fight the bad thoughts away. “Minho misses them…” The pup then began to sob and cup his face while Sejin brought the boy into a hug and patted his shoulder gently; cradling the pup in her arms after. Showing more of a big sister figure to the little one.

               “Crying won't get Minho anywhere. Crying won't bring Minho's parents by the door.” Sejin continued. It was obvious that most of her words were words she repeated from her father, Namjoon. “But smiles and patience will get you to it. There's nothing for you to worry about, Jeon Minho. They'll be here soon!” Sejin continued as Namjoon stepped in wearing a maroon sleeping robe, loose black bottoms and dark blue slippers to walk around in the night or early morning. Namjoon pushed his glasses up and looked at Minho trying his best to dry his tears, but he couldn't. “Father, Minho misses his parents..” Sejin claimed as Namjoon walked up to the small pup and gazed down at Minho before sitting down next to Sejin and Minho.

               “They'll be here soon! It just takes a while. They're making sure the bad guy will be gone for good and will come back for you. There's nothing wrong with them. Sleep now, Minho. They won't be back for a good while.” Namjoon continued and glanced at the time and looked back at Minho. Those words alone didn't make him feel better and all he could do was sit there and stay quiet through it all. Still keeping a frown over his small and chubby face.

              “Minho, do you want me to read you a story?” Sejin asked with a smile as Minho nodded his head so innocently while Namjoon smiled and watched over the two. Sejin then walked over to her own bookshelf to take out a small book she was read to when she was three. The girl was able to read the one sentence per page in the small book and cheer Minho up through every tear. Namjoon watched over how close the two were as friends and was glad that Sejin alone brought company to the young alpha. Very soon, both fell asleep as the father was left to tuck both in and give them both kisses on their heads before turning the lights off and leaving the room shut. By there, Jin walked out of the bedroom and met with his alpha standing before him. The married couple matched with sleeping attire; except, Seokjin wore a pink sleeping robe and had red slippers on too.

                “Finally asleep?” Jin asked as Namjoon nodded his head. “Good.”

                “Why are you up anyways?” Namjoon asked as Jin let out a laugh and shoved Namjoon.

                “Joonie, don't act like you don't know why. I'm hungry! That's why.” Seokjin claimed as he then walked off to the kitchen as Namjoon laughed and followed after.

               “Your appetite has increased recently. Are you pregnant and hiding it?” Namjoon asked as Seokjin stopped walking for a second, looked back and took off one slipper before glancing back at his alpha. Just then, Seokjin placed one hand on his hip and gave his husband a glare.

               “Can't I eat something for once?!” Jin asked. Letting out a laugh right after as Namjoon followed. Watching his Seokjin throw his shoe at the alpha and walk off to the kitchen right after.

______________________________________

           By the following morning, no words were heard from Jungkook and Jimin as usual. Minho was left to spend his time with Sejin and push away the fact that he hated these days his parents would give him up. It made Minho feel bad, yet the three-year-old pup wouldn't let it hold him back like it always would. At the moment, Taehyung was at the grocery store with Min Yoongi while they locked hands in contact. Yoongi pushed the cart forward and the couple shared laughs and big smiles continuously. They were so happy together. After Taehyung promised to cut off all ties with Jung Hoseok, the couple has been doing better! Taehyung was able to smile and listen to his alpha and Yoongi was able to communicate once more with his husband.

              They walked together down the fruit aisle of the store, wearing face masks to cover their noses and mouths and to top it off, they matched in dark shades to cover their eyes. Lately, Taehyung left his phone on ‘Do not disturb' to ignore Hoseok. It seemed like the best way to handle this issue and reconnect with Yoongi, but Taehyung never said goodbye to the other alpha. It was at moments like these, where Taehyung began to wonder what his life could have been if he still had contact with the alpha. Of course, Taehyung didn't spend an hour thinking too deep about this… He knew his relationship with Yoongi would have crumbled and only silence would shout for them. Keeping them apart. However, it was Hoseok who poisoned their love and Taehyung could only bear it for a while.

           It was at this moment, Taehyung gazed off into nothing and only imagined how many phone calls were blocked from Hoseok and how many times the alpha tried to contact him. Yet, there was no answer for him. Only then, Yoongi caught his husband staying silent and staring off into nothing until… The alpha snapped his fingers in front of the beta. “Tae, what are you doing? You looked like you forgot how to breathe.” Said the alpha as he let out a chuckle and gazed at his beta before coming to a stop altogether. “What is it, Honey?” Yoongi whispered and placed his hand over his husband's shoulder and tipped his glasses down slightly.

            “I was only thinking.. That's it! Let's go and get some wine!” Taehyung said happily. Being able to snap into reality while the many whispers in his mind said otherwise. He was able to jump off the whole issue and change the subject so suddenly. Even Yoongi wanted to stop for a moment and ask why, but at times, for him it was better not to know about it. Yoongi made a smile to his husband and pulled down his mask to give Taehyung a kiss on the head before they began to walk to the aisle for wine together. All was well with them, but on the other hand, Hoseok wasn't.

              The alpha sat in his room after having the call blocked once more while he rolled his hair back. He just so happened to wake up from a rough and restless night. All was horrible for the alpha and he just needed to hear the sound of the beta. He wants to talk to him like before and have him close; yet, he knew he couldn't have that as soon as he crossed paths with Min Yoongi. It was the way Yoongi worried for his own beta that made Taehyung pull away from Hoseok altogether. However, the alpha wasn't ready to let go. He wanted to see Taehyung at least one more time or see him when it comes to business related things.

          “I'm not going to let you go, Taehyung… Not you…” Hoseok whispered as he went through his own phone to find a way to Daegu. “I have to see you one last time… I have to!” The alpha continued. It should be noted that now, Hoseok had the only friend in his life, pull away and this left Hoseok feeling like he couldn't move on. The least he wanted to do was to come back to Taehyung and have him close. It just didn't seem fair to a lonely alpha like him. Hoseok then got up instantly as he walked off to his closet, beginning to pack up and think of Taehyung the whole time. By now, he didn't know what troubles he'll get himself into; but, for Taehyung, he was willing to go the extra mile even if the beta was already claimed by another alpha.

              “I do this… All for you… I'll go to you, Taehyung. I need you. Even if you don't want me, I want you in my life and that's all that matters to me. I need you as a friend if I can't have you as a lover.” Hoseok spoke to himself as he took out a luggage and dropped it onto his bed to pull it open. “I'll be there in Daegu and see you there. But doing this means I'll have to drop all my feelings for you… I don't want any drama with Yoongi. Now, for whatever I've done to cause this… Just know that I'll see you soon to make it all up to you. That I promise.” Hoseok spoke out. The sound of him speaking like this to himself made him feel more at ease while he finally took out his clothes to fold and put away. “If you don't want to see me outside of work.. Then I'll need to find a way to get you a part for my upcoming film.” The alpha continued and then made a smile. “You'll play a big part in it. All is needed is the auditions and then we get to shooting it.” Hoseok already made plans for the new film he wrote and was planning to direct with his usual crew. The only one he needed now was Kim Taehyung. The star of his movies and of course, the only star shining in his eyes no matter how much he alone tried to keep those whispers away.
