"What?" Jungkook frowned, hearing the whole thing from the hyungs and Taehyung apologized to him, telling him that he's leaving soon. The soon being tomorrow.

"Yeah, I'll leave tomorrow." Taehyung said, "I've signed the papers, I'm not a member of BTS anymore."

"But-" Jungkook cuts himself off, gulping down and nodded slowly, "You did wrong, we know that. But you're still Taehyung, our Taehyungie, then why are you leaving? You were so mad when Jimin hyung left, now you're leaving too."

"I know," Taehyung nodded, "I'm sorry,"

"Can we not just go back to how we used to be? A-All of us? Seven again?" Jungkook looked at the hyungs, making Jimin avert his gaze.

"I can't," Jimin said, "But you guys should continue. Taehyung do anything in hand, but don't leave BTS. Mistakes happen that's the what makes you a human, you learn from them and move on for the better."

"Yeah, we'll talk to the agency, don't worry about that." Yoongi nodded, "But you have to convince yourself that everything is okay now and stop making yourself feel anymore guilty about it."

"How's that gonna work?" Taehyung asked.

"About the agency? Don't worry, even they don't want you to leave, we just need to make them realise that." Namjoon said, "We all will talk to them."

"Jimin," Taehyung looked at him and he hummed in response waiting to hear more, "Please join us again... join BTS, it's incomplete without you."

"I... I can't, you know Evie needs me. If it wasn't a big issue, I'd never in the first place. But it was getting really hectic, being an idol is not easy."

"How about we help you in taking care of her?" Jungkook said, "You can move in the dorm and then she'll have all of us. One of us is usually present there, and if not then we have Nia right?"

"Yeah but-"

"Yeah, I think that can work." Taehyung nodded, "Please Jimin, let's get back like we used to be. Everyone needs you, BTS, Bighit, Armys, everyone."

Jimin looked down, staring at his daughter and sighed deeply, thinking of all the pros and cons before coming to a conclusion. As much as he wanted to say yes and be a member of BTS again, be the reason of Army's smile again, he was holding himself back with the responsibilities as a father.

"I don't think I can-"

"We'll introduce Evie to Armys," Jungkook said, "and explain everything why you left, them they'll be so proud of you. And I'm sure everyone will love Evie a lot, I mean, look at me."

Jimin chuckled softly, nodding his head, "Are you sure? What if the group faces a backlash?"

"Whatever it's gonna be, we'll take it together." Taehyung said, "I promise."

"Yeah, I agree." Jungkook nodded.

Jimin smiled at the two, hugging them together and glanced at the hyungs, seeing them smiling fondly at the three. He pulled away and took a deep breath, "Well, I guess, let's go then. It's gonna take some time to convince everyone."

The boys nodded, getting up and Jimin pulled out his phone, calling a number and carried Evie in his arms, "Nia, would you mind coming over right now? I have some work to take care of."

"Uh Mr Park, I'm out right now but I'll be home in half an hour. After that I can come." She said.

"Uh no, I can't even wait for one minute." He sighed, "Uh listen, I'll come over and leave Evie at your place. Is that okay?"

"Yeah sure," Nia said, "I'll get home then."

"Yeah, great. Thanks." He said, nodding at his boys and took the keys, giving it to Jungkook who nodded and jogged out, taking the car. "We'll go to Nia's first." He told the maknae, getting a thumbs up from him.

"She's the babysitter?" Hoseok asked.

"Yeah, she's a nice girl and takes care of Evie when I'm not there." Jimin said, "Anyways, you guys can go first, me and Jungkook will come after dropping Evie off."

"Alright," The reat nodded, heading out of the house while Jimin grabbed Evie's bag, checking all the things quickly and locked the door, going to the car as Jungkook already waiting.

"Manager nim," Namjoon smiled a little, talking on his phone as they all wait in the elevator nervously, "Are you still in the company? We wanted to have a word with you and Pd nim. It's urgent."

"Namjoon-ah, look I know it's hard for you all, but please stop making it harder for me and the agency by bringing Taehyung's matter again and again."

"Please hyung, I'm sure we can talk it out. Letting Tae go would be a big loss for the agency too." Namjoon pleaded, sighing deeply when the door slid open and they head out towards the personal conference room that the comapny had given for any group meetings of BTS.

"I'm sorry, I'm allowed to talk about anything like that. The order is firm Taehyung has to leave BTS. It's better if he does it without creating any more problems or the comapny might sue him."

"But-"

"No, I'm sorry." The manager said making the leader groan in annoyance entering the room with the boys who just stared at him with an expression, probably knowing already that the manager didn't want to favour them this time.

"It's fine, hyung." Taehyung sighed, forcing a smile at the elders, "I'm okay with this... I'll leave."

"No, you won't." Yoongi declared, "We just need to come up with something."

"How about we ask Jungkook to talk to manager nim?" Hoseok suggested, earning a eventual nods from the members.

"Yeah, we can try. He always treated him like his own son, he would listen to him." Jin nodded, "Yeah great! Call him!"

Hoseok nibbled on his lip, dialing the maknae's number which was answered almost instantly, not by the Jungkook, but Jimin as he said the boy was driving, "Yes hyung?"

"Jungkook-ah, call manager nim and ask him to meet us right now. Tell him it's urgent."

"Why me?"

"He refused Namjoon just now," Jin said, "Maybe he'll listen to you."

"Mm-kay," Jungkook hummed, "We're almost there, I'll talk once we reach."

"Alright," The boys waited after hanging up the call. Just as Jungkook had said, it didn't take long for the two boys to arrive. Jimin gave Taehyung an assuring smile, patting his back as a way to tell him to relax and everything would be fine.

Jungkook called Manager Sejin, telling him to meet up urgently in the conference room, making the man sigh and give in to boy's request, saying that this would be the last time they're ever discussing about Taehyung's matter.

"I can't believe you both are still helping me out..." Taehyung sighed, "I'm so sorry, I really feel like an asshole."

"You are an asshole," Jimin chuckled, "for thinking we won't stand up with you when you need us, you dipshit."

Taehyung smiled, hugging Jimin tightly, "But y'know, there was a time when I felt like murdering you, Tae. That day I don't know if you know or not, but Kook called me and he was crying a lot. He was in his apartment and said something like he saw you nearly crying outside the gym... He was crying and saying things like Taehyung changed, he's not TaeTae anymore. Even I had tears in my eyes, Tae, on hearing him saying all while crying to me. You have no idea how many times the boy literally begged me to take him home, and everytime I had to tell him that he's already at home. And y'know it's not a great feeling, that you wanna go home and like feel safe and wanted and loved, but then you realise that you're at home and you're supposed to feel those things. He was looking for home at home, couldn't find it. You and the members were getting mad at him for coming to me, and I am sorry for that too, but he was feeling better there, when he would talk to me, argue with me, play with my daughter and call her his best friend, he was happy there, Tae. How the past few months have been for him, I know he was happy when he was at home, that's why I couldn't stop him from coming over more often and that caused more problem."

"He was fifteen when we first him, remember? He was so shy and you even said he was the quietest kid you'd seen. Remember when he used to sleep with you because he thought you were the most approachable hyung to him, and then you both would end up playing games till late night, until me or one of the hyungs would stop by and remind you to sleep? Where's all that Taehyung? He misses you, the you who used be his go-to friend, his best hyung, his all partner in crime; Jungkook misses that you. He doesn't like the new one, even I'm not a fan of the new Taehyung, bring us our Taehyungie back, the new one sucks." Jimin smiled softly, making Taehyung sob quietly, hugging him tight enough to have Jimin patting his back.

"Manager nim is coming," Hoseok said entering the room, making the boys pull away as Taehyung wiped his tears taking the tiny plastic bottle of water that Hoseok just brought. Soon the door opened and Manager Sejin followed by Mr Bang, entered the room, sparing a straight glance at the leader of the group.

"We don't have much time, make it fast." The manager said, probably not noticing Jimin's presence yet.

"Hello, Pd nim and Manager hyung," Jimin scrunched his face at the older men, earning confused glances from them, "I know I shouldn't be here, and I promise I'll leave soon, without anyone knowing. Just, I thought Tae and Jungkook needed me."

The two nodded, not adding any remark which made Jimin smile as Namjoon started speaking, "Pd nim, Taehyung apologized to Jimin and Jungkook, and they forgave him. Please don't fire him, he realised his mistake and promises to never repeat any such action in fu-"

"So, Namjoon, you're saying that if you were the owner of the company you would let someone like him in?" Namjoon stayed quiet at that, not uttering another word as he contemplated hard to come up with a way of convincing the CEO.
