A/N: I did this after watching Detective show Monk

2021

The members knew Namjoon was depressed; they could see it in their leader's expression.

They advised him to visit a therapist, which he did, but because of their busy schedule, he only managed to go 2 days before an interview.

When Namjoon walked into his therapy session, he could feel a certain calmness radiating around the room.

When he sat in the chair, he felt something off about the therapist, but he listened.

"Close your eyes and imagine when you were most happy."

A smirk played on Namjoon's lips.

Namjoon felt himself becoming happy, and he thought, This is nice; I'll come here more often.

All the guys were waiting back at the dorm. Do you think Namjoon is alright? asked Jungk, his big doe eyes looking at his Hyungs.

Yoongi clapped him on the shoulder, "I'm sure he is fine, Kook."

The members all nodded and returned to sitting in an uncomfortable silence.

Some time later, Namjoon returned, but something seemed different.

"Namjoon, on, how was the therapist?" asked Yoongi

Namjoon smiled, "Good, Hyung, I like him; he's nice." His speech sounded weird, but no one paid attention to it.

Well, until then, Namjoon said, "I'm hungry."

Jin raised an eyebrow. "You ate before your session?"

That didn't go well. Namjoon started chanting that he was hungry, and when no one moved, he lay on the ground, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry."

All the members looked at each other with wide-eyed sighing. Yoongi said, "Okay, we'll make you something; just wait in your room; we need to talk."

Namjoon jumped up, hugged Yoongi, and ran to his room but not before saying, "Thank you."

The moment Namjoon was out of earshot, Yoongi snatched the back of the head. "What the hell was that?"

"What? But he's ‌just hungry," like he said, and tired," shrugged Jungkook, who would always defend his Namjoon Hyung.

Jin nodded but glanced to the bedroom. "You're ‌right, Kookie, but what was with the chanting?"

All the members shrugged, but Jimin ‌gasped, moving his hands to cover his mouth, making the others look, and their hearts broke.

Namjoon was standing, looking sad, and his round eyes filled with tears while he wiped his eyes. Hoseok ran up to Namjoon and hugged him. "Hey baby, what's wrong?" he said while he ran a hand through Namjoon's hair.

"Am I in trouble?" asked Namjoon, and Yoongi sighed and went up to him, "No, Joon, you're not in trouble, but what are you doing here?"

"I thought I told you to stay in your room." Yoongi knew the members said he could look grumpy, but what he didn't expect was for Namjoon to hide his face in Hoseok's shirt while chanting, Yoongi Hyung's mad at me.

"Yeah, Namjoon, are you even listening to me?" Sai, but he regretted it after Jin smacked him on the back of his head.

"What was that for?" he glared.

Jin scolded him. "Stop scaring him; it's not his fault he's feeling sensitive. Maybe he isn't feeling well. Did you even think of that?"

Yoongi's eyes widened. "F***, you're right, Hyung."

Namjoon's eyes widened. "What does f*** mean?"

"What?!" shouted all the members apart from Hoseok, who scolded them when Namjoon got scared and kept crying.

"Shh, you're scaring him." "It's okay, Joonie. Hey, you're hungry, right? You want some noodles?" he asked softly,

He got a nod in response. "Okay, come with me, baby," he said and took Namjoon to the kitchen.

While Hoseok was taking care of Namjoon, all the members looked at each other. "So what are we going to do?" asked Taehyung.

"I guess we'll wait and see if he goes back to normal tomorrow," said Jin, and he looked into the kitchen and smiled when he saw Namjoon laughing and clapping at Hoseok.

Surprisingly, Jimin walked into the kitchen and got in front of Namjoon. "Namjoonie Hyung, how was your therapy session? Who was it?"

Namjoon looked at Hoseok, who smiled, "Just tell us, baby; you won't be in trouble, I promise." He tapped Namjoon on the head for reassurance.

Namjoon swallowed. "Dr. Park Jung-Won," he said softly.

Hearing the name, Jungkook looked up the name, "Ah, aish."

"What did you find out?" asked Yoongi, whose eyes widened when he saw the name and place on Jungkook's phone.

He turned to Jin. "Hyung, we need to call Seojin now."

Jin nodded and went to call their manager.

When Seojin got to the dorm, Yoongi and Jin were waiting for him. "So what's wrong?" he asked, and Yoongi led him to the living room where the members were entertaining Namjoon.

Namjoon saw Seojin and squealed excitedly, "Seojinine Hyung, it's good to see you!" He said, and he got up and hugged Seojin.

Seojin's eyes widened, but he understood. "Yeah, good to see you two, Namjoonie," he said, and he patted Namjoon on the back.

Once Yoongi got Namjoon off Seojin, Seojin smiled, "Hey Namjoon, why don't we go and see Bang PD?"

"But I need to stay here," said Namjoon.

Seojin sighed. "I'll leave Jin in charge, okay?"

Namjoon looked at Jin, and he started laughing. "No way! If I have to go, at least leave Yoongi Hyung in charge. Are you mad? Seojin Hyung and Jin Hyung can't be in charge of the maknaes without me."

All the members' eyes widened, and Yoongi tapped Namjoon, "Ya, Namjoon, don't speak to our manager like that. You know better."

"Oh, sorry," said Namjoon, realising he made a big mistake.

Seojin laughed. "It's fine; just don't speak to anyone at the company like that."

"Okay."

Seojin told Namjoon to wait in the car.

After Namjoon went to the car, Seojin looked at the members, "So he is still Namjoon; from what I can tell, he's just acting like a kid, but I wouldn't say it's little space since he can remember us and seems to be on the ball," he said, and the members nodded.

"Yeah, we looked up the therapist he went to see, and we think he might have been hypnotised," said Yoongi.

"Oh, right, well, I'll take him to Bang PD and call his mom, and then we'll get it confirmed with our therapist," said Seojin, and he thanked the boys for their help and went to his car.

At the studio, Seojin took Namjoon to Bang PD's, and there was another person. Namjoon looked at Seojin. "Why's our building therapist here?"

Seojin smiled. "He just wants to talk."

Bang PD smiled at Namjoon, "Hey, Joonie, why don't you go and talk with Dr. Yang while Seojin and I talk about the interviews we are organising?"

Namjoon folded his arms. "Why can't you make me?" he huffed.

"Kim Namjoon I warned you not to talk to anyone else like that," said Seojin, and he was red in the face from embarrassment."

Namjoon put his head down. "I'm sorry."

Dr. Yang grabbed his arm. "Come with me, Namjoon; we'll find you some candy while we go to my office."

"Okay."

Dr. Yang smiled, "Good boy, come on."

After Dr. Yang took Namjoon, Bang PD looked at Seojin. "So, what do you think happened?"

Seojin shrugged. "Well, the guys seem to think he was hypnotised, and from how he's acting and how he was acting at the dorm and from what the guys said, I'm starting to agree."

Bang PD got out his phone, and Seojin's eyes widened when Bang PD started talking to Namjoon's mom, "Hey, Mrs. Kim, yeah, it's Bang PD. I have a question for you if you don't mind: What was Namjoon like as a kid?"

Bang PD listened to Mrs. Kim, his eyes going wide when Mrs. Kim explained.

"Right, thank you, Mrs. Kim," he said.

After Bang PD hung up the phone, he looked at Seojin and, while snatching the back of his head, said, "I think you might be right."

Seojin ran a hand over his face. "What do they have interviews to do?"

Bang PD nodded, "Yeah, we need the others to come while we wait for Dr. Yang."

Sometime later the rest of the members get to Bang PD's office, and Yoongi was the first to ask questions, "So what's wrong with Namjoon?"

Bang PD sighed, "Well, we'll wait for Dr. Yang to confirm, but I talked to Namjoon's mom, and she confirmed he is acting how he used to act as a child."

"But he is still Namjoon, so how does that work?" asked Jin, and his palms were sweating.

Dr. Yang suddenly walked in without Namjoon. "Oh good, the other members are here."

Hoseok went up to Dr. Yang and said, "So, Dr., what is wrong with Namjoon?" His eyes screamed for answers.

Dr. Yang rubbed the back of his head. "Well, I know he went to see Dr. Park, and that was the wrong choice; Hynoptisen is never a good choice replacement."

"So Namjoon is basically living a part of his childhood. 'He has the mental state of a child between the ages of 7 and 9 years old."

The members sighed, "So how do we snap him out of it?" asked Jungkook, and all the members stared at him.

"Actually, he will snap himself out of it, and I recommend treating him like an adult, but if he does things you don't like, you have the right to scold him."

All the members nodded and looked at the door when Namjoon walked in.

"I like to go home," said Namjoon, causing everyone's eyes to widen; never in all the time anyone had known him did Namjoon ever ask to go home first.

Yoongi smiled, "Okay, Joon, let's go," he said and grabbed Namjoon's hand.

When the members got back to the dorm, Jin decided to do dinner early, and that evening Namjoon was asleep by nine, which was really early for him, but the members wanted to talk without him.

They sat in an uncomfortable silence for a while until Taehyung said, "So we need someone to stay with Namjoon at all times while he's like this."

"Right, so Taehyung, you share a room with Namjoon, so if anything happens in the night, call one of us."

Yoongi's phone buzzed, and after looking at his message, he sighed, "Oh man."

"What's with you?" asked Jin, and he tried to see the message.

"It's Namjoon's mom. She said to be careful. When Namjoon was a child, he was unstable emotionally, and he would just say what he thought."

All the members sighed. "Well, looks like we need to set some rules for now," said Jungkook, and the others nodded.

The next day, Dr. Yang went to the dorm to check on Namjoon, and when he got there, his eyes widened when he saw Namjoon shouting at the guys.

"No, I hate doing interviews!" he screamed.

"We know, but remember it's part of our job," said Yoongi, who was trying to hold his frustration.

Dr. Yang smiled. "Ahem, maybe this will be a good time to treat Namjoon like I said." The member's eyes widened when he spoke, but unexpectedly, Taehyung got in front of Namjoon and held his hands. "Namjoon Hyung, if you do the interviews, we'll take you to the beach and look for crabs." Hattitudee smiled when Namjoon was in thought.

Namjoon nibbled his lip but then looked up, "Fine."

Jin smiled and clapped him on the back, "Good boy, Joonie."

Namjoon giggled.

The interviews started off fine, but they started going downhill, and one day a question got asked by an interviewer who usually didn't ask questions like it.

Interviewer: So it's a dream?"Do we manifest this?"

Namjoon couldn't believe it, so he said what he was thinking.

"It's not a dream; we're in the same company." "We'll accompany friends, so it's not a dream."

Namjoon was feeling extra sassy, so he continued

"If you see this video, friend, call us or come to Korea."

Jungkook couldn't help but laugh.

Yoongi and Jin were dreading the backlash they were going to get later but didn't blame Namjoon for his attitude.

None of the interviews went any better, so the members knew they were going to get it from Namjoon later.

They were right after the interviews; Namjoon let them have it.

"I told you interviews are the worst!" He screamed, and he threw a pillow.

"Joon, we know you were right," said Yoongi, trying to get Namjoon to calm down.

"Of course I was right; I'm a genius, and you're all dumb."

The room went silent after that comment, but Namjoon saw Yoongi get his phone out, sending a wave of panic over him.

"Don't call Mon."

Yoongi looked confused. "Why?"

Namjoon was shaking. "Mon said on the first day at kindergarten, 'Don't go letting people know you know you're smart because people don't like it." His eyes were red and teary by the time he finished.

Yoongi sighed, "Okay, I won't call your mom."

Namjoon started crying to the others surprise, "Joon, what's wrong?" asked Jin

"Jimin's eating crabs," wailed Namjoon.

The members turned around, and sure enough, Jimin was standing there eating a crab.

Hoseok grabbed his arm and took him outside.

Yoongi didn't know what to do, but Namjoon said something, "Want crab pushlie."

Taehyung ran to his and Namjoon's shared room and found the crab plushie and took it to Namjoon, who held it tightly to his chest.

Once Namjoon was calm, Yoongi and Jin decided to go outside and talk to Jimin.

Outside, Yoongi and Jin saw Hoseok talking to Jimin.

Yoongi went up to him and said, "What was that?" his arms crossed and arms folded.

Jimin shrugged.

"Yeah, what do you mean you don't know!" Jin started his angry rapping.

Jimin sighed, "I'm sorry I didn't think he'd notice since he's not himself.

Yoongi's eyes widened. "What do you mean? You heard Dr. Yang; he's still himself; he's just reliving his childhood. Of course he noticed a crab in your hand." Yoongi couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Jimin dropped his head. "I'm sorry."

Jin sighed. "It's fine, but think next time, Jimin, I know you're not stupid or obvious," he said, and he went back inside.

The next morning Namjoon was in a mood.

"Namjoon, come on, we have to do interviews again. I know it's not fun, but we have to." said Yoongi.

"No, I told you last time I am not doing it!" yelled Namjoon

Namjoon, not thinking, knocked over a table, and everyone's eyes widened.

Jin was not having any of Namjoon's tantrum:Yeah, "Kim Namjoon, behave or no beach!"

Namjoon, who was about to do something else, stopped and looked at Jin, "No beach?"

Jin nodded. "No beach if you carry on."

The look on Jin's face showed Namjoon he was serious, so he dropped his arms to his side. "Right, sorry."

Namjoon then sat down, but he looked up. "I'll do the interviews, but I like double beach time."

Jin nodded. "Fine, can't argue with that.

Namjoon ‌got up and went to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Namjoon looked at himself in the mirror. "Namjoon, you're doing well. A few more days while interviews are going on, and you can get more beach days."

He stood and giggled because the guys wouldn't know unless he told them he woke up feeling like himself that morning.

A few more days wouldn't hurt them thinking he was still in a 6-year-old mindset.

The interviews went as well as the others, but since Namjoon had been himself anyway in interviews, none of the guys noticed he was different.

After a couple of days, through Yoongi and Jin, they noticed the only time Namjoon acted like a kid was first thing in the morning before interviews and a few times if he caught the members eating seafood.

Yoongi and Jin decided they would let him carry on just to see how long he could last.

The only problem was Namjoon got sick 3 days after they figured it out, so when Namjoon had a meltdown over seafood, no one paid any attention.

Until Namjoon started panting and his breath was uneven, "Yoongi Hyungie," he wailed.

Yoongi realised what was happening and went to Namjoon and hugged him, "Hey baby, what's wrong?"

Namjoon wiped his eyes and nibbled his lip. "I've been myself for a few days. I just like being able to complain and get beach days."

Yoongi laughed, "Yeah, me and Jin Hyung figured it out the other day," smiled Yoongi.

"Wait, why didn't you say anything?" asked Jungkook, who had heard Yoongi and Namjoon.

Yoongi turned and said, "Because we knew why you was pretending to still be hypnotised, and we thought it's not hurting anything."

All the members nodded, "But now I'm guesting. Namjoon's not feeling well," sighed Jin.

Namjoon looked at Yoongi, and his eyes shined.

"Don't look at me like that."

Namjoon continued until Yoongi realised what he wanted.

"Oh, you want ice cream and to play baby later?"

Namjoon nodded, "Yes, Yoongi Hyung is smart."

The members laughed at Namjoon's childish voice.

Yoongi hugged Namjoon. "I love you, Joonie."

"Love you two."

All the members looked at Yoongi and said, "We love you, Yoongi."

Yoongi whispered to Namjoon.

Namjoon looked at the members. "Yoongi Hyung says he needs to spend his energy and love on me, but he picked a day for each one of you over the next 2 weeks."

"Okay," said the members.

Yoongi rubbed the back of his ears. "Well, I guess I have all this week for Namjoon, so I love you guys too." His face went red.

"Yeah, he said it!"

Yoongi hid his face in Namjoon's shoulder.

"I hate you all," he grumbled.

All the members laughed, "We love you two."

Namjoon tickled his hyung, which caused him to laugh.

Yoongi turned the tables and tickled Namjoon, which caused him to let out a hyena laugh.

That evening Namjoon and Yoongi slept in Yoongi's bedroom.

"I love you, Hyung," said Namjoon, and his dimples showed.

Yoongi poked his dimple. "Love you two.
