thirty-five.

"Okay, Chim. Why the fuck did you gather us here in the basement?" Jin asks annoyed by the fact that Jimin forcefully dragged him and Namjoon inside this narrow room.

"And Yoongi hyung, you didn't even do a thing to stop him from dragging us here? I can't believe you," Namjoon says afterwards, giving Yoongi a disappointed look. Yoongi just rolls his eyes on the dramatic couple as he sits on the floor.

"Shut the fuck up, hyungs. Leave Yoongi out of this because I also forced him to agree on this one!" Jimin shushes the two. Jin is about to smack the younger's head when he is stopped by a glaring Yoongi.

"Midgets," he whispers instead. Jimin makes the two of them sit on the floor before he takes out a small white board and a marker.

"Okay. So basically, I heard what you two were talking about Seolmi awhile ago because I eavesdropped- Jin hyung stop gawking at me like that- and I have planned something to make Seolmi's wish come true. So are you in or are you in?" Jimin asks the married couple, except for Yoongi because he already agreed to the plan (by force) so that Jimin can shut the fuck up and proceed with whatever he wants to do.

Namjoon looks at his husband who is contemplating whether to trust his best friend or not. He nudges him therefore gaining his attention.

"This is all for Seolmi, right?" Jin whispers. Jimin nods with a small smile on his face.

"All for Seolmi," he answers. Jin closes his eyes for a moment and grins.

"Okay we're in!"

Namjoon grins too, his hand holding Jin's.

"Ew stop that, Joon hyung."

"You better make sure that whatever you plan on doing will work, okay? Or else, I will beat you up- fine Yoongi, I won't I'm sorry," Namjoon mumbles then frowns. Jimin laughs at them and starts presenting on what he is planning to do.

"We will apparently make Taehyung tell Jeongguk who Seolmi is, and of course Jeongguk will also tell him that he already knew everything ever since Seolmi was 5. And, he will also confess everything to Taehyung. Like every stupid little thing he ever did to hurt Taehyung. We all know that Taehyung is too soft for Jeongguk right? So he will think about forgiving him for about a week, and when he decides to forgive him and start anew, that's when we surprise them with a wedding!" Jimin squeals in excitement leaving the other three to look at him in disbelief.

"What the fuck, Chim. I never knew you were that-"

"Smart? I know right, Jin hyung."

"...dumb. I was about to say dumb. It's not that easy, you midget. You're gonna force them to marry each other? Are you fucking crazy?!" Jin shouts at him, and is about to smack him on the head when the younger hides behind his fiancé's back.

"It's not a forced marriage okay? We all know they still love each other," Jimin whines, still not coming out from where he was hiding.

"Let's say that we will consider that plan, but how do we do it?" Jin massages his temple as he leans down his husband's shoulder seeking for comfort. Namjoon eyes Yoongi, mentally telling him that his midget fiancé should think of a very wise response or else...

"Here's what we're going to do..."

Yoongi, in behalf of Jimin who is scared to death because of Jin, decided to continue on sorting out the plan they thought of before. Jin is enlightened because of how Yoongi presented it, unlike Jimin.

"How come your voice sounds so good when you're speaking Yoongi?" Jin's eyes sparkle with admiration for the younger.

"Excuse me?"

"You look so handsome today, Yoongi. I just noticed when you were talking," Jin continues to compliment him. Yoongi looks at him with a horrified expression before looking at Namjoon and Jimin.

"What the fuck is wrong with him?" He mouths. Namjoon almost bursts out laughing, same as Jimin. Jin separates his body from his husband and waddles towards Yoongi's direction. He clings his arms around Yoongi's neck and squishes their cheeks together.

"Oh my God I never knew you were this soft, Yoongi~" Jin purrs making the other two roll completely on the floor, laughing.

"Okay you're fucking weird, get off me, you giant," Yoongi struggles his way out of Jin's hold, but eventually fails because the older won't let him. He huffs an annoyed sigh.

"Fucking hormones," he mumbles more curse words and just decides to let Jin be.

Namjoon and Jimin can't help but to laugh so much from the sight.

"Yoongi is damned," Jimin wipes the tears from his eyes, probably because of too much laughing. Namjoon follows his gesture.

"At least it's not just me who will suffer along with this pregnancy," they agree, laughing once more.

To say that Yoongi is pissed off is an understatement.

〰️

Seolmi wakes up from a deep sleep just to find herself alone in her room. She rubs her eyes, and scans the room hoping to see Jin and Jimin hiding somewhere but no one shows up. Her eyes begin to burn up, and she knows she is close to crying again. She hurriedly stands up, not forgetting her plushie, and makes her way downstairs careful not to trip and fall.

"Baba Jinnie? Uncle Chimchim?" She calls out for them, trying her best not to make her voice crack because of the tears that are already threatening to fall.

She sits on the floor, pulling her knees close against her chest, and she rocks her body back and forth, thinking that maybe they left her because she is such a crybaby. She can't take it anymore and starts weeping, scared that she is alone.

And as if on cue, the basement's door bursts open, revealing a very worried Seokjin. He runs towards Seolmi who is now sprawled on the floor, crying her eyes out.

He immediately picks her up and carries her, swaying the little girl along with his body, side by side, trying his best to calm her down.

The three follows after him, also worried because of Seolmi.

"Chim, please get her milk," Jin pleads Jimin and the younger wastes no time. He scurries his way towards the kitchen, panicking.

"Jin hyung," he calls out and offers the milk. Jin smiles at him gratefully as he makes Seolmi suck the baby bottle. Seolmi accepts it and the cries die down not so long after. All of them sigh in relief.

"Seolmi, there's something we want to tell you," Jin decides to not take things any further and tell Seolmi all the things that they have planned beforehand. Seolmi, who is still trying her best to stop her tears from falling again, nods otherwise and waits for her uncle Jin to talk once more.

"We decided to have a plan on getting your dada and daddy together again... but we want you to trust and cooperate with us. Do you want to help us, sweetheart?"

The four coos when they see how Seolmi's eyes glisten with anticipation. Her tears and frown are then replaced with a wide beam.

"Really? You will do something, uncles?"

"Yes, Seolmi. So, will you help us?" Yoongi asks softly. Seolmi wastes no time and nods her head eagerly.

They look at each other before explaining all the details, making Seolmi understand everything that they have come up with.

"Jeon Jeongguk," Taehyung pinches Jeongguk directly on his nipples so that he will not have a hard time on waking the younger up. He's already feeling better and when he checks on Jeongguk, his fever is also gone.

"Fuck, Tae. Stop pinching me there! You do know how sensitive I am when it comes to my nipples!" Jeongguk groans before sitting up. He stretches his arms high in the air and yawns.

"Ugh it feels so good!" Jeongguk mutters. Taehyung rolls his eyes and decides to take a cold shower.

"I'm gonna shower, so don't do anything stupid. If you want to freshen up, you can use the bathroom downstairs. I advice you to freshen up though. You stink already," Taehyung teases before rushing inside the bathroom. Jeongguk yells at him, but he just shrugs it off.

The younger fixes himself and perhaps Taehyung is right. Not the stinky one part, but the part where he needs to freshen up... wait, it's still the same.

"Tae, can I borrow your clothes and some underwear?!" He shouts while he starts searching for unused clothes.

"You can find some new clothes and undergarments in the bottom drawer of the cabinet, Guk!" Tae responds and continues to shower. Jeongguk just takes whatever looks comfortable and makes his way downstairs to the bathroom.

As the two finished showering, they both stare at each other awkwardly, finding themselves seated across the dining table.

"So... uh, who's cooking?" Taehyung asks. Jeongguk is about to get lazy and ask for Taehyung to cook but then he remembers Taehyung can't cook. He can't risk this house to burn down, yeah?

"What do you want to eat?" Jeongguk asks him. Taehyung requested for japchae, so japchae it is.

While they are eating quietly, the front door opens with a bang, startling the two. They look at each other, both confused, and make their way towards the commotion.

In the living room, they found Jimin who is sweating buckets, catching his breath for God knows why.

"What the fuck, Chim? Are you okay?" Taehyung asks worriedly. Jimin shakes his head, and takes Taehyung's hands in his own.

"Tae..."

"What the fuck happened?" Jeongguk barges in. Jimin looks at him nervously.

"Seolmi..."

Taehyung feels his heart stop beating, same as Jeongguk. Taehyung feels his veins throb inside his body, as his face goes pale.

"What the fuck happened to Seolmi, Park Jimin?!"

"We went out to buy ice cream... but... but she ran away from me and now I can't find her... Tae, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" Jimin cries. Taehyung walks past his friend, bumping into his shoulder in the process as he runs outside.

"Taehyung!" Jeongguk shouts and also leaves Jimin behind.

Jimin makes sure that the two are already far away before wiping his fake tears and picks his phone out from his pocket.

"They're already out, hyung."

"Okay, we're on standby."
