fifty-one.

Taehyung is currently cradling Seolmi in his arms, rocking the child's body back and forth to help her sleep soundly. She has been hyper for quite awhile, probably because Jeongguk gave her too much chocolate behind his back. Sighing, he rubs his child's back when she hears her whimper.

It's been a month since all the drama in Kim Taehyung's life and now, he's back in Seoul, and is living with his best friends once more. He quit his job back in Daegu and started going back to the old company he used to work at along with Jimin because the boss took him in once more.

Taehyung's thoughts are interrupted when Seokjin peeks inside the bedroom. He smiles warmly when he sees the two, and makes his way inside.

"Tae? I brought doughnuts," he whispers.

"Did little jam bother you?" Taehyung asks as he stretches his arms to rub Seokjin's tummy.

"He did. He wanted something sweet and round so I brought doughnuts!" The oldest giggles after saying it. Taehyung rolls his eyes because it's not the first time Seokjin acted like this during his pregnancy. Heck, there are days when it just gets worse!

"Taehyung? Yoongi and Jimin's wedding is next week. I think it will be hard for me to let him go..." Jin's mood instantly dies down, his eyes staring at Taehyung's sullenly. Taehyung taps the space on his bed motioning for his hyung to sit down. The older complies and sits down, immediately leaning his head on Taehyung's shoulder.

"I know, hyung. It's hard for me too, but what you're feeling now is also the same as what we felt during your wedding with Namjoon hyung. It was hard at first, but we were able to accept that you're now tied to someone and we can't have your full attention anymore just like before. But trust me, hyung, it will get better once you finally learn to adjust," Taehyung solemnly explains, stroking his hyung's hair gently. Seokjin leans into the touch, closing his eyes before mumbling incoherent words.

"Hyung, don't fall asleep on me," Taehyung chuckles. He feels a short nod against his shoulder, but he knows it is the other way around.

"Taetae? Jin hyung?" Both their heads snap towards the door as they see a very anxious Park Jimin standing at the doorway.

"Chim? Are you okay?" Jin asks worriedly. He stands up to hug the younger.

"Can I talk to you two in my room?"

Both of them nod, Jin and Jimin exiting the room first. Taehyung tucks his daughter securely before he goes out to transfer in Jimin's room. Once he gets inside, Jimin is already a sobbing mess. Jin ushers him to come close quickly.

"Hey, Chim, what's wrong?" Taehyung asks softly. Jimin makes a few sniffles before answering their query.

"I'm scared..." he whispers. Jin looks at him confusedly.

"Scared of what, Chim?"

"Scared that I'm not capable of being a husband yet. What if I fail and disappoint Yoongi? I don't want him to get bored and leave me alone, hyung. I don't want to risk our relationship... I think I am not ready for this," Jimin confesses, his voice already cracking from his cries.

Taehyung knows Jin is the one expert on this, since he got married first, so he beckons him to do the talking.

"Chim, I know that feeling. Wedding jitters can be a pain in the ass, huh?" Jimin can only nod in embarrassment. Jin smiles lightly before holding Jimin's hands.

"Marriage life is a tough one, Chim, but I know you and Yoongi can get through anything. Yoongi loves you as much as you love him. Man, he's so whipped for you, and he wouldn't leave you nor get bored with you. Getting married to someone you really love is the best feeling in world, Chim. It's like winning a lottery, so don't you ever let go of that just because you feel insecure of yourself," Jin enunciates. Taehyung smiles to himself, as he listens to every word his hyung said. Jimin, on the other hand, starts sobbing harder, his face now buried on their hyung's neck. Taehyung bends down to hug the two tightly.

"Chimchim, me and Jin hyung will always be here for you so you need not to worry, okay?"

Taehyung hears a soft 'okay'. When he pulls away from the grasp, he feels his stomach churning, but decides to ignore it otherwise because he obviously didn't want to ruin the moment just because he suddenly feels sick.

"So, doughnuts? I've been wanting to eat those already," Jin pouts like a kid. The two just giggle and they make their way downstairs, their arms linking together.

"Wait, hyung, you mean to say you just met her online and then you chatted and eventually fell in love?" Jeongguk asks for clarifications. Hoseok can't help but to roll his eyes because it is the third time someone asked him that question.

"Yes, Jeongguk. What you just said is true."

The five others still can't process everything Hoseok told them. So apparently, Hoseok already got himself a girlfriend and they've been together for almost a year without telling a soul. So just like what Jeongguk deduced, Hoseok met the girl online, chatted with her and as time passed by, the both of them fell in love with each other.

"Wow, I thought you're gonna be single for life because you're mainly the president of all ships!" Yoongi states out in disbelief. Hoseok just laughed at their reactions, so proud of himself that he managed to keep everything a secret from them and just shocked them with the news.

"Dada?" They hear a tiny voice coming from the stairs. There they see little Seolmi rubbing her eyes as she climbs down the stairs slowly, searching for her dada.

"Our little snowflake is awake~" Jeongguk coos at his own daughter. He lifts Seolmi up, carrying her towards Taehyung. The other carefully places Seolmi on his lap once Jeongguk gives her to him. The rest can only look at the marvelous sight in front of them.

"Dada, what's wrong?" Seolmi asks when she feels her father freeze in place. Jeongguk looks at him worriedly as he notice the beads of sweat dropping from the older's forehead. Taehyung looks at him with a pained expression on his face.

"Guk, I think I'm gonna throw up."

Everyone immediately panics, Yoongi taking Seolmi away from her dada to let Taehyung get up and make his way towards the bathroom.

"Uncle Yoongi is dada okay?"

"Yes he is, snowflake. Your dada must've eaten something bad so don't worry, he's gonna be okay," Yoongi assures the little girl, kissing her soft hair.
