In the Sitting room

"So, who's going to ring Jungkook?" asked Seokjin.

"Actually, don't do that," said Namjoon.

"Why?" asked Jimin.

"You heard him say he doesn't need a babysitter," explained Yoongi.

Hoseok's phone rang.

"Hello?" he said.

"Jungkook, where are you?" he asked.

"Okay, I get it, okay," he said.

"Come back, okay?" he said

"See you later," he said.

"Is he coming back?" asked Taehyung.

"Yeah, but he wants to be my brother," said Hoseok.

"Why?" asked Taehyung.

"To be honest, I'm not sure. But he wants us to treat him like an adult," said Hoseok.

"That's true," said Jimin.

"Yeah, to be honest, if we ever stop living together, I will be more worried about Namjoon," said Yoongi.

"Oh yeah," agreed Seokjin.

"Do you want me to call you Daddy and Appa?" asked Namjoon.

"I've got an idea," said Hoseok.

Sometime later

Jungkook entered.

"I'm sorry about that," he said.

"It's alright, you were right," smiled Namjoon.

"I was?" said Jungkook.

"He was?" said Seokjin.

"Namjoon's right. Jungkook did have a point," said Yoongi.

"So, Jungkook, here's the deal," said Hoseok.

"What is it?" asked Jungkook.

"You don't have to be any of our brothers but you've got a secret," said Hoseok.

"Okay," agreed Jungkook.

"What's the secret?" asked Seokjin.

"Well..." Hoseok started.

Earth 2

In the dance studio

"Hoseok!" called director Taehyung, who owned the studio.

"Yes, Sir," said Hoseok.

"I heard you've been giving Jungkook a hard time," said Taehyung.

"It's not fair. Why he should get in the first class lineup, but Seokjin can't?" Hoseok whined.

"Okay, let's put it this way..." said Taehyung.

"Would you prefer your friends or a team that can win Nationals? Because you can't have it both ways," asked Taehyung.

"I know. I'll try and get along with Jungkook," sighed Hoseok.

"Good, and don't give him a hard time. He's not had an easy life," said Taehyung.

"What does that mean?" asked Hoseok.

"No, I can't say. See you around, Hoseok," said Taehyung.

In the Dance Studio extra room.

"What was that about?" said Hoseok.

Dance studio during the main session

"I need to get going," said Jungkook.

"Why the rush?" asked Namjoon.

"My siblings are due to finish school," said Jungkook.

"Okay, you can go, but don't be late tomorrow," said the dance coach.

"Don't worry, I won't," said Jungkook.

In the dance studio

"What is going on with him?" thought Hoseok to himself.

Hoseok followed Jungkook to an alleyway.

"Where is he going?" he asked himself.

He followed Jungkook to an apartment entrance.

"How is he?" asked Jungkook.

"He is doing well, but he can't leave," said the lady who looked like a nurse.

"Yeah, thank you for taking care of him," said Jungkook.

"You're welcome," said the nurse.

"It's fine. Once we win nationals, I'll have the money to pay for treatment," said Jungkook.

Futher back in the resident alleyway

"I had no idea. I feel really bad now," he said.

Earth 1

Back in the sitting room

"Okay, I'm glad I don't have a brother, but what is it with you and Taehyung and troubling parent storylines?" asked Jungkook.

"Yeah, Hobi Hyung, what is going on?" asked Jimin.

"Nothing, okay? Jungkook didn't want a brother so I didn't give him a brother," said Hoseok.

"Come on, Hobi, out with it," said Seokjin.

"No, because there's nothing to tell," said Hoseok.

"Even if there were, I thought we agreed not to push each other!" he yelled

He ran to his bedroom.

"Well done," said Namjoon.

"Why can't you guys just leave things alone?" said Yoongi.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to Hobi Hyung," said Taehyung.

"You will?" asked Seokjin.

"Yeah, the answer is obvious," said Taehyung.

"It is?" asked Jimin.

"Yeah, Hobi Hyung's just stressed because he can't see his parents," said Taehyung.

"That actually makes sense," said Yoongi.

"Yeah, good thinking, Taehyung," said Seokjin.

"That might be the case, but give him time to calm down," said Namjoon.

"Okay," said Taehyung.

In Hobi's and Jimin's Bedroom

"Can't they just trust me?" said Hoseok to himself.

"I wonder if this is how Namjoon felt before," he said.

"Ahh, I just wish this was over," he whined.
