Jungkook, Namjoon, and Yoongi are standing in front of three thugs. Hoseok is standing in the back, waiting for this to get over with.

"We want more" Yoongi says, biting the cigarette between his teeth.

"We can't make more" one of the men says, his body shaking slightly.

Jungkook steps forward and leans down to meet the man's height.

"We don't care, just make it happen" he warns.

The man nods rapidly before turning around and running away with the two others.

Namjoon spits after them.

"Fucking assholes can't get the deals done..." he comments as they walk back towards the youngest apartment.

It was party night and one of the deals had been messed up, so they didn't get anything sold tonight.

Damnit, no food before next week.

Jungkook sighs and walks inside.

"Can't we go to Rose's house? Jin is making dinner" Yoongi asks.

"Why haven't I thought about that?" Jungkook says and they quickly decide to go to the crazy family's house.

"I thought the project was over?" Jin asks as he looks at the now four boys in disbelief.

"We will pay you later we just... we don't have money right now for dinner" Namjoon says, looking down in embarrassment.

"No don't worry about it, I always make too much anyway," he says.

"And since Rose is out on a trip, it shouldn't be a problem."

It was true, Rose, Jisoo and now Jennie had gone on a trip. A girl trip they called it. They felt like they earned it after finishing the project.

Hoseok introduces himself as they walk inside. He's lost in Jin's beauty for a second before earning understanding looks from the other guys.

"Hyung? Why are they here?" Jimin asks as he comes down the stairs, quickly followed by Taehyung who's lost in some Nintendo game. Hoseok now feels like there's blood running from his nose.

"They don't have money for food"

"But hyung-"

"It's fine, we have enough" Jin says and he wasn't wrong. They were crazy rich when they lived with their parents and now even more with Jin's job.

Jimin nods and walks into the kitchen. He quickly greets the four boys; Taehyung just walks in without saying hi.

_____

Jungkook is staring at Taehyung. The male is currently playing a videogame in his room and Jungkook came to tease him. But now, he's too caught up in the game as well to fulfill his mission.

Hoseok had already left, but the three guys all came up with excuses to stay. Yoongi was too tired, Namjoon's apartment was too far away and there were no buses driving at the time.

Jungkook just wanted to tease the elder.

He plumped down next to Taehyung who handed him a controller without even looking at him.

Jungkook takes the invitation and they start playing.

_____

Jin had allowed the boys to stay over that night. And probably future nights too but that was indirect. He felt sorry for the three boys for some reason.

Yoongi tucked himself in the blanket, looking at Namjoon who was doing the same.

"Joon, your sleeping habits are starting to freak me out. Stop it" he states.

"What? I just like napping!" Namjoon defends himself and a snicker is heard from Jungkook.

When Namjoon is fully under his blanket too, silence fills the room.

"It's nice of them to let us stay" Yoongi breaks it. Jungkook and Namjoon hum in agreement.

"I wanna stay" Namjoon whispers, his eyes closed.

None of the others react, but they all know that these good boys might be dangerous. And they barely know them.

_____

Namjoon hears the steps again. He always does.

He doesn't know, but he always falls asleep after Jin has woken up. Like, he needs to make sure everything is like normally.

He fake sleeps again as the steps disappear into the kitchen.

But Namjoon frowns when the sound of the coffee machine slowly turning on doesn't occur. He holds his breath for a second, peaking his ears to hear any signs of life.

And it's so freaking quiet that Namjoon nearly misses it. But he's on his feet in a matter of seconds, sneaking to the kitchen door so he wouldn't wake the others.

It was a sob. There's no mistaking it.

He opens the door as soundless as possible.

Jin doesn't notice at first.

He's sitting on a chair with his back towards Namjoon. His head in his hands, small sniffles are heard.

"Jin?" Namjoon whispers and closes the door.

The elder flinches by the sound and turns around in shock.

"Namjoon? S-sorry... I-I didn't mean to wake you up" Jin stutters. It's hard to see in the dark, but the shine from the moon through the window clearly lights up Jin's tears.

Namjoon feels horrible at the sight.

He doesn't waste two seconds crossing the floor wrapping his hands tightly around the other male.

Jin's eyes widen as the action and he hesitates before slowly returning the hug.

"Jin. Tell me what wrong. Please" Namjoon begs. He wants to help him. He wants him to let out everything that had ever bothered him, even though they are barely friends.

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be. Please Jin"

"I-"

Jin tugs Namjoon shirt and the younger feels how the tears make the fabric wet.

"It-it's my fault"

Namjoon pulls the light man up and places himself on the chair. He pulls Jin back to sit on his lap, and the elder tries to escape but Namjoon won't let him.

"Please" he begs again.

Jin's lower lip trembles as he rests his hands on Namjoon's shoulder's. He must look so weak right now.

How embarrassing.

"I'm the reason my parents left early. T-they didn't want t-to argue anymore" he sniffles. Namjoon has a hand resting on the elder's waist, the other slowly wiping his tears.

"And then... T-they just never came home. I-I stayed up all night, but they never came" he cries out. Namjoon hugs him tightly.

"That's not your fault hyung. You were young and it could have happened even without the argument" Namjoon whispers in his ear. He didn't know the story exactly, but he tried to figure out the obvious.

Jin laughs a little through the tears.

"I wish I could think like that" he whispers back.

They sit for a while, Namjoon swaying them back and forth on the chair. Jin doesn't know why he's letting the other console him like this. But there's something comforting and... safe about being in his arms.

Jin just thinks about how pathetic he is. A 23-year-old sitting in the lab of an 18-year-old while crying.

"Hyung, is that why you stay up? Because you wait for them to come home?" Namjoon asks.

Jin shakes his head slightly.

"Not them. My siblings. I fear they will be ripped away from me too when I least expect it."
