They're in the middle of resting after practiced when Seokjin approached Hoseok. The one who being approached just stood still while the other eyeing them curiously. Jin stood in front of him and eyeing him intensely.

"h-hyung?" called him shuttered suspect that he do something that make his hyung angry. He hope it's not the case because he already made him upset which make him -and the other- got ignored, even though he didn't know what he -they- done wrong.

Ignore his called, jin placed his palm on his forehead and frown. He cupped his face and feels his neck too, "go home and rest, it's enough for you" commanded him

"w-what? Why i'm fine hyung" denied him. Jin shake his head, "you're sick. You better go home by yourself or i'll have manager hyung drag you" said him sternly.

Before he can protest, "listen to your hyung Hoseok. Go back home and rest" order Namjoon as a leader. Hoseok still want to protest more but Yoongi change his mind, "go home or else..."

He look around and the other gave him a look make he sighed in defeat. He nodded and it was a wrong move because he suddenly felt dizzy. Luckily Jin there to prevent him for falling.

"come on, i'll help you walk to the van" said Jin softly while helping him. Hoseok hold his arm and say, "can you accompany hyung?" asked him quietly.

Jin eyeing him who look down, "sure, someone have to take care of you" said him smiling fondly. Hoseok look at him blinking before smile widely.

"wait, hyung. I want to come to" said jungkook following by the other two maknae. Before Jin can scold them Yoongi already do that, "stay here, you still have a practice" said him glared at them when he saw them want to protest. They pout while Jin give a thank you gaze to Yoongi.

Hoseok leaned on Seokjin in the van and the older hug him protectively while caressing his arm. They arrived at the dorm and Seokjin brought him to his room and he'll take a medicine and make a soup for him.

Hoseok hold his hand, "you're not gonna leave me alone and just told me to eat and swallow the medicine right? You're gonna stay on my side right?" asked him with a raspy-pleaded voice. Jin smile at him and patted his head carefully, "of course, now lay down and wait for me here"

Hoseok smile and let him go. Seokjin take care of him for the rest of day and Hoseok also didn't want to leave alone by him. He's ratter clingy today much to the other dismay because they can't spend time with their older hyung. The maknae line often come and stay there until Seokjin kicked them out expect the other two hyung who still not make up with jin. They a little shocked and jealous seeing their maknae already in a good term with their hyung.

It's not like they're not in a good term before, it's just that he's not as close as how he used to be with them. He didn't care about them anymore. That's what they thought.

---------

Yoongi in his studio alone when he heard a knock. He lazily walk to the door and open it to find seokjin stood there smiling. His eyes widen but he fastly recovered to open the door for his hyung acces to come in.

"what you need hyung?" asked him grumpy sit back on his chair, tried to look like usual.

"it's past midnight Yoongicie. You should rest or you'll get sick" said him softly.

"why'd you care. I'm fine all this time" mumble him.

Jin sigh and walk to him. He stroke his hair softly and Yoongi unconsciously lean to the touch, "i'm worried okay. And are you eat properly this past days? You look skinnier than before"

"i don't have time for that" said him and when Jin take his hand back, his head following the hand as if didn't want it to stop. He open his closed eyes just to closed it again when Jin bring him into a warm hug. He caressing his hair again when Yoongi hide his face in his hyung stomach while slowly hugging his wrist.

"but you have to rest, i made food for you and you have to finished it" said him sternly but still gentle, "come on" he pulled him to stood and bring him to the couch. After finished his food Yoongi flopped on jin lap and closed his eyes.

"let me stay like this if you want me to rest" said him without open his eyes. Jin just smile while caressing his hair slowly.

-----

Namjoon come home late because he lost track of time when he's in his studio. He opened the door slowly to not make a noise. He didn't wish to greeted by Jin-hyung again after everything. This past days, or maybe weeks? Months?

He didn't know anymore, but it feels like eternity for him since the last time his hyung will wait on the middle of night and then scold him for being restless but still hated up some leave over for him to eat before told him to sleep.

He walk slowly to the upstair but halted his steps when he heard a voice that he didn't realized he miss so much.

"Lost track of times again, Joon-ah?" He visibly flinched and look to the kitchen door to find Seokjin look at him blankly while crossing his arms.

Namjoon immediately avert his gaze and look down. They fall in silent before Seokjin break it by saying, "come sit here, i'll heat up some foods for you"

He look at Seokjin in surprised and opened his mouth to said something but Seokjin already beat him, "i'll not take a no answer" said him already in the kitchen.

Following his hyung, he settled on his seat while waiting. When the food served for him, he just look at it with a confused and mixed feeling.

"What're you waiting for? Did you're not feeling well?" Asked Seokjin softly but Namjoon can heard worry in that.

"A-ah, no hyung, it's just- it's just..." said him frantically but didn't finish his sentence and look down again.

Seokjin sighed and stood up to sit next to him. He placed his hand on top his leader which also his dongsaeng and caress it softly.

"You know you can talk to me if you have a problem Joonie" offered him gently.

Now Namjoon bit his lips. He didn't know what he feels right now, confused? Happy? Realive?

"Hyung..." started him look up at his hyung and felt like crying when he found his hyung soft and understanding look. Oh, he didn't realized how he miss it until this time.

He inhale and exhale to steady himself. He felt a little embarrassed when he think that he's being a kid right now.

"What did I done wrong? What did we done wrong?"

His question make Seokjin look at him confused as ever, "what? I don't understand, you didn't done anything wrong Joon-ah"

Namjoon shake his head, "no hyung, we definitely do something that make you so upset to the point you ignore us this past days? Week? Or maybe it's already a months? I don't know hyung, but please tell me if there is something that make you upset with us, with me. I can't bear with this anymore. Whatever I've been done, i'm sorry, oh, i'm so sorry hyung. Please don't angry at me, please don't hate me" rambled him before look at Seokjin with a glassy eyes.

Seokjin blinked at his sudden outburst before laugh silently, "hyung, why you're laughing? It's not funny" whine Namjoon.

"Oh my god, Joon-ah, I thought you're the smartest here" said him before ruffling his hair.

Seokjin slowly bring his head to rest on his shoulder while patted his back slowly, "I thought you all, or at least you, will realized what's made me upset but.." He sighed and rest his head on top Namjoon's.

Namjoon hug his waist and brought his chair closer so he can find a comfortable position.

"You know Namjoon-ah, being the least talented member in the group is tiring and need a lot of self-conscious" Namjoon what to protest that it's not true at all but Seokjin shushed him, "one of my way to escape is you guys. With you guys I feels at easy and home. But you're already know that i'm younger in my home, but here...i'm the older. Like it or not I have to change myself and my perspective. For being able to be a good hyung for you all, for being your support and guide.

"It's hard at first but thanks to my hyung I can get as much advice as I want. You can't blame me if I'm being a bit...or much protective toward you guys, it's just that I want what's the best for you all. Especially for the maknae line, they're so young when the first time we meet. I just want to protect and guide them. You, Hoseok and Yoongi maybe can count as an adult back that but still young"

"But you're young to hyung" cutted Namjoon. Seokjin smile at him and hug him tighter.

"But i'm still older there. It's my responsibility to take care of you, all of you. That's why despite being the last in everything in this group, I, at least want to make sure you guys happy, healthy."

Seokjin sighed again, "but you know what? Sometimes what you said to me is hurting my feeling. I can endure it at first but the more times passed, I feels like being leaving out, like you guys didn't need me anymore" here, Namjoon tightening his arms, "I feels so tired Namjoon-ah, with everything, with some hated comments said that I'm talentless, about I'm being annoying and should leave the group. And what you guys said didn't help me at all.

"I'm not blaming you, but it's just, I under so many stressed lately. And how you guys, in my eyes that time, disrespected me just make it worst. I don't want to end up snap in from of you or hurt you at all, that's why I thought maybe it's time for me to let you all go. Like a parent when their children already grown and ready to start their own life" he chuckled at his own sentence,

"What you said is right, I'm not your parent or even your brother. I'm just an outsider which close enough to you to be called family, maybe?"

Namjoon pull himself from Seokjin embrace and eyeing him intensely, ignoring a tears that stream down since he didn't know when.

"Hyung, what are you talking about? You're my, our family, our brother. You're not an outsider at all, please remember this" said him seriously which make Seokjin smile despite his glassy eyes.

"And never called yourself talentless, annoying or anything bad of yourself. You have way more talents than what you think. Those haters can drown themselves in the ocean, fuck them for talking something like that when they didn't even know a single thing of you. And you're not the last in everything in this group, hyung.

"Everyone have their own unique way, so do you are. Never compare yourself with them, you it's you and us is us. From the start we're different and it's wrong to compare ourself with other. Even though we're younger than you, we'll be here for you, hyung, always. We'll help you when you need it, we may not the best at that but we definitely tried our best for you.

"And last, please, please don't ever have a thought of leaving Bangtan, hyung. We're seven, we're clawed from the bottom to top as seven and will always until the end. We're nobody without one of us. I love you hyung, we love you"

Namjoon didn't know since when he have a tears in his eyes, so do Seokjin. Seokjin wiped his tears with his sleeve and laugh happily.

"Oh, Joonie, you make me feels way better than before. Thank you, thank you" said him while hugging him tightly and kiss his top head and still place it there.

"I will not, never leave Bangtan okay? I love you guys so much to have a thought of leaving, anyways you will make your life miserable without me" Namjoon respond with 'you may right' and they giggled at that.

He kiss Namjoon's forehead and look at the kitchen's door, "I know you're there all the times guys, come here, i'm not gonna bite your head off" said him jokingly make Namjoon look at him confused. But his mouth opened slightly while the others filled out the kitchen.

The maknae line and Hoseok have tears streaming down their eyes and Yoongi turn his head but they can clearly see his red and puffy eyes.

Seokjin laugh and stood up before opened his arms widely, "aigoo, come here you big babies"

The younger three didn't waste a time and launched theirself to Seokjin while Hoseok walk fastly to hug him from behind. They're crying harder this time and a jumble of 'sorry' and 'I love you, hyung' came at the same times.

"There, there, it's okay. I forgive you all already, come one don't cry" said him soothingly while rubbing the maknae line back while caressing his cheek on Hoseok hair. The other three let him go while Hoseok lift up his head but still hugging him.

They smile at him, Taehyung with his boxy smile, Jungkook with his bunny smile, Jimin with his cute smile and Hoseok with his bright smile. Seokjin look up at Yoongi who still avert his gaze and stood up after patted the four heads.

Seokjin gently bring him to his embrace and caressing his hair slowly with one hand while the other one he entwined it with his finger. In a normal occasion Yoongi may felt embarrassed but not right now when he slowly bring his free hand to hug his hyung tightly.

Yoongi lean his head on other chest. They didn't talk to each other but it was enough for them. They're not the type who will talk because their silent and treatment is enough. Seokjin place a kissed on his temple and soon he enfold in a group hug.
