"Relax yourself, we are right behind you."

Saturday night rolled in after a heavy exhausting week. Promotions, music bank shows, performances and advertisements all lined up and done for them. It had been quite stressful and so most of them had decided to stay back at home. Hoseok had been laying down on his bed, going through his phone. Seokjin and Yoongi had gone to bed already, stating that they were tired.

Hoseok could hear Jimin, Namjoon and Taehyung laughing loudly as they had planned up a small movie night for themselves. He tried remembering what Jungkook had mentioned earlier. The youngest wanted to apparently go out with his friends. It was likely mentioned in their earlier conversations.

Until a call came from an unknown number. Or was it a familiar number after all? Though it was much against the rules for the idols to be picking up stranger's call. Especially if they are toxic and creepy stalkers, Hoseok gave in to his intuition. He wanted to see if it was an important call. And for the life of it, it turned out to be one.

"Hello, hyung? Anyone?"
Jungkook's voice could be heard through the phone.

"Oh! Jungkookie, I'm here."
Hoseok answered loudly, as the call picked up some static from the other end.

"Um...so can you pick me up? I'm kinda lost and drunk."
Jungkook asked in a rushed whisper.

"I thought you took the car with you?"
Hoseok asked with a curious tone.

"No, uh.. my friends came to pick me up."
Jungkook answered hesitantly with much nervousness which the older boy pointed to in his mind.

"Ok okay, just switch on your live location. I'll come there."
Hoseok spoke before cutting off the call. Something felt off in the entire conversation, but Hoseok just couldn't find it.

"Hobi-yah! Who's call was it?"
Seokjin's sweet voice came through startling Hoseok. This also caused him to get into action of getting the youngest back home.

"Oh Jin hyung, you are awake? That was just kookie. He needs me to pick him up."
Hoseok replied while looking for the car keys and wallet.

"Aish! That boy doesn't plan stuff when he is excited. But he could order a cab right?"
Seokjin spoke, as he shook his head on fondness and exasperation.

"It's okay hyung. I don't mind doing it for the baby. It's his birthday tomorrow! He should be home for that."
Hoseok beamed as he started trying his shoes. Afterall, the 24 year old boy was their dearest maknae and not-so platonic lover.

Soon Hoseok, got out of their house with jackets and keys. Plugging in his phone, he followed the GPS to reach the doe-eyed boy. He reached an abandoned street where he only saw the silhouette of whom he assumed to be Jungkook. He got down the car, moving a little forward with cautious steps to get the said boy.

"Hobi hyung?"
Jungkook's shallow voice echoed in the dark.

"Jungkook! C'mon...let's go home!"
Hoseok spoke, as he grabbed onto Jungkook's larger arm.

The older boy didn't want to stay out this late without any kind of security. So he rushed the younger inside the car. And in this process he hadn't noticed Jungkook's already glazed eyes. Getting in to the driver's seat, Hoseok started the car. It was past 1 already, quite dangerous for any human.

Leaning over, he helped the fumbling younger boy to put on the seat belt. Within a span of twenty minutes, they reached home safely. Jungkook was uncharacteristically quiet throughput the journey, but Hoseok didn't push his buttons. Seokjin was already waiting outside with a blanket wrapped around his body.

"Hyung, you didn't go to sleep yet?"
Hoseok asked as he got out of the car after parking it inside the garage.

"Yeah, just wanted to wait up."
Seokjin answered half-heartedly, as he leaned up closely to look at the youngest who looked too disoriented.

"Gukkie?"
Seokjin called out, making the long haired boy to snap his wide eyed gaze up to his hyung's handsome features.

Seokjin noted the thin sheen of wetness in Jungkook's eyes and the reddened nose. It was most likely the cold at the dead of night. But it felt a little off to be just that. There was something so strangely familiar in Jungkook's entire self right now. Not that it was bad, it was just different from what he usually was. Atleast to the outer world.

"C'mon bubba, what do you want to do?"
Seokjin asked as he gently curled his fingers around Jungkook's wrist. Putting slight pressure to the area, Jin simply looked at the younger to note any difference in his gait.

"Uh...sleep?"
Jungkook slurred out. His voice gave out that he wasn't as drunk as he initially seemed.

"Kay, let's sleep in mine and Yoongi's room."
Seokjin answered, pulling the boy along to get inside the house.

"Hoseok-ah, get one of your shirts, and Joonie's sweatpants."
Seokjin asked the other who looked a little lost but complied nevertheless. And with that the three others came in the living room.

"Bunbun, just wash up your face and hands, yeah?"
Seokjin asked as he keenly glanced at Jungkook's shiny doe eyes.

All while holding up his cheeks, ignoring the curious eyes of his other boyfriends. It wasn't very characteristic of Jungkook' to be so pliant after getting drunk. Rather the opposite where his giggles and words were loud enough to bounce off the walls.

"Mhmm"
Jungkook hummed, closing his eyes and tilting his head into Seokjin's hand.

"Jiminie, just help Jungkookie to get these on."
Hoseok asked as he caught on quickly with the sweatpants.

"Aye aye!"
Jimin spoke, cheerfully taking the lead of Jungkook's hands into his own. This gave time for Seokjin to talk with Namjoon.

"Tae, just try coaxing what happened, yeah?"
Seokjin addressed as he went inside the room.

Meanwhile, Taehyung walked upto the cutest sight of Jimin gently dabbing Jungkook's wet face. Taehyung stepped inside the washroom and offered Jungkook mouthwash. Jimin made some cute noises to distract Jungkook from falling asleep on the covered toilet seat.

The duo worked silently to help Jungkook in the shirt and pants, all while the youngest kept giggling with no reason. This only stirred up the deep adoration the two older boys had for their maknae love. Afterall who could resist it when the youngest had the most looped our expression on his face?

On the other end of the dorm were the three older ones who wanted to discuss about Jungkook. It wasn't very likely for the youngest to go out with his friends and get drunk recklessly. But the thing was Jungkook didn't look drunk, he looked different as if he was simply floating in space.

"I donno know why but looking at him he's not only drunk but slipped into a headspace."
Seokjin worriedly spoke as he saw Namjoon sit up with a confused face.

"Yeah headspace.but I guess he needs some care from us."
Hoseok added in, with a little relief at the end.

"Remember that time he had cried because he couldn't find his black bucket hat? That was one such time we literally had to calm him down with comfort and kisses."
Namjoon reminded the other two boys as his brain racked through memories and activities that could have triggered the younger boy.

Jungkook was a very sensitive person, be it smells or sounds. And now that he had already mentioned he was drunk, it made sense for the entire house to quieten down. Soon Jimin and Taehyung appeared out of the washroom with a dumbly smiling, half lidded Jungkook, making the hyungs coo out loud.

"Wha-! Wait, what's this?"
Yoongi's disgruntled voice came in, as they forgot that the other had retired to bed early.

"Oh! Yoongi hyung! Did we wake you up?"
Jimin asked as he helped Jungkook get on the bed.

"Why is kookie like this? That too just before his birthday?"
Yoongi asked with a frown.

"Ah, he's drunk. Apparently, gone out with his friends."
Hoseok explained, still unsure of what was with the doe-eyed boy.

"No, i meant like this! My boy has high tolerance so i don't think it's that."

Yoongi snickered though his eyes had concern written all over them. The nickname caused the said person to blush heavily, mumbling "my boy". Even in this state of confusion, Jungkook had managed to register Yoongi's words and warm hand on his fluffy hair.

"Oh we were discussing the same."
Seokjin spoke up after a beat second.

"Let's wait for tomorrow...He looks too adorable for us to worry about it right now."
Taehyung added as he gleefully watched Yoongi petting their overgrown puppy boyfriend.

"Yeah, let's fuss about it later and give the baby the love he needs."
Jimin announced as he joined Jungkook on the bed to coodle the youngest.

The other boys just chuckled and shook their head, resigning to their places around the duo. Jungkook was already fast asleep with tiny snores, looking extra soft and cute under the covers. Namjoon made sure to switch off all their phones in case of alarms and unnecessary phone calls. Tomorrow would definitely be a lazy day.

Within the confines of their room, they could pour all the love they had stored in their heart. And sometimes words weren't needed as it was evident in Yoongi's adoring eyes. As sleep swept each of them, they slept in crammed spaces. Sometime, in the middle of the peaceful sleep, Jungkook whimpered loudly as he felt the lack of warmth that was fleeing away from his body.

"Bubba, I'm right here. Right here. You are safe love."
Someone's soothingly familiar voice shushed him. It was so enticing to hear the deliciously thick voice that was laced with sleepiness.

Jimin enveloped the younger boy in his arm, acting as the big spoon. Taehyung was just beside him uttering those words of warmth. Meanwhile, the older boys were already awake as it was mid-day. Hoseok was busy helping Namjoon fix some stuff as part of Jungkook's suprise.

After some while, Jungkook woke up only to find an empty bed with crumpled bedsheets. His head was throbbing and he could hear the distant voice of Seokjin's quiet curses as the older played his games. Streching his body to be more awake, he treaded to freshen himself.

"Mornin' hyung"
Jungkook spoke as he plopped onto Hoseok's widespread lap.

"You feeling okay, love?"
Jimin asked giving the youngest some light pecks on his forehead.

"Yep!"
Jungkook spoke nuzzling down along with Hoseok, who had wrapped his arms protectively.

"Did something happen yesterday when you went out?"
Yoongi asked a little curious to pry the situation.

"Nothing notable. Why?"
Jungkook answered sitting straight.

"You were drunk and all in a mushy headspace."
Taehyung peeped in before returning back to his game along with Seokjin.

"Must be the stress of everyone's around I guess."
Jungkook said, sliding off onto the couch.

"Baby, you do know that we are here, right?"
Namjoon spoke softly trying to make the boy understand.

"Mhm...was just feeling lonely and stressed. So might have unconsciously acted that way."
Jungkook murmured softly and soon found himself in an enclosed space made of arms.

"My baby star candy...you don't have to feel guilty over being under the weather. We were all busy last week, but doesn't mean we forgot you or your birthday!"
Hoseok spoke as Taehyung joined their duo cuddle session by putting his longer arms around Jungkook.

"My b-birthday?... Wait what's the date today?"
Jungkook looked wide-eyed at the words uttered. It seemed like the boy himself wasn't aware of time and space.

"Baby, it's September 1, the day our little angel was born."
Jimin spoke from the side, helping Jin switch off the gaming set.

"Ooh!! It's my birthday!! I am 25."
Jungkook spoke excitedly, thumping his feet on the ground in happiness.

"No you are still that bambi-eyed 15 year old whom I had to take care of."
Seokjin shouted from the other room, and the other boys could hear Jimin shushing the older.

"I took care of him."
Yoongi said in response, with a slight smirk. And soon the two of them were in a staring competition. Jimin had to physically pull Seokjin to the side. Supposedly, Jungkook's birthday made the taller boy emotional and teary.

"Stop. All of you took care of me."
Jungkook announced hoping to give Yoongi a hug, while Seokjin scoffed. It was all in playful love that they spoke. Afterall how could Jungkook choose between the six halves of his heart?

"Wait here, we got a suprise for you!"
Namjoon spoke up, soon causing Seokjin and Taehyung to get up as well.

"Okie!"
Jungkook answered, playing with Yoongi's fingers with a slight pout.

Soon the Kim line came back with three packages. One small black shiny paper covered box in Taehyung's hand, while Seokjin had a blue glitter covered flat box and Namjoon a a bigger box with no special covering. With great vain attempts of keeping himself grounded, Jungkook got up from the couch with a slight jump in his steps to open his gifts.

"Can I? Can I open them??"
Jungkook asked with clutched tiny fists and buzzing excitement.

Without sparing a thought, Jungkook grabbed the three boxes after receiving a nod from all of them. In the same order, Jungkook carefully opened the boxes to see that the black box contained the expensive Fuji film camera he had told them about. Looking around with uncontained joy, he jumped onto Jimin who was sitting beside him.

"Wow!! Thank you hyungs."
Jungkook's muffled voice only brought sweet unrelenting torture to all the other's heart.

"Gukk-ah, you had been talkin' about this for so long. It would be unfair not to get it."
Yoongi smiled as he leaned over Jimin to press a kiss onto Jungkook's nose, eliciting lots of hoots and whistles from the other boys.

"C'mon baby, open the other's!"
Hoseok urged the boy who was still dazed by the simple peck. But he caught on to open the blue shiny box to get a photograph memory album. A heavy book with lots of place to store all the photos. Opening it, Jungkook looked dumbfounded at the beautiful messages that were written by his boyfriends themselves.

'Love you more than everything.'
'The world is a better place with you in it.'
'Never forget that you are one of a kind.'
'Beautiful eyes deserve beautiful sights.'
'I need you like I need the air.'
'We are only a step away when you need us.'

"Hyung, this... imma fill it all up!"
Jungkook spoke with a quivering undertone, making Taehyung come forward to lean their forehead against each other. Jungkook sniffled lightly looking at Taehyung's eyes. He could see all of their collective love in the older's eyes.

Breaking apart, he got to the last gift, which was a simple white cake with a pink rose and a 'Memories are better with you in them.'

"I..i love this!"
Jungkook hiccuped overwhelmed with emotions. He couldn't help himself from feeling so floaty with happiness and warmth.

"Thank you hyungs."
Jungkook spoke again, making the other's coo out loud.

"Jungkook-ah you deserve all the happiness in this world."
Seokjin spoke with all seriousness in his voice, making Jungkook chuckle.

"You guys are my happiness. I don't need anymore."
Jungkook smiled with his bunny teeth peeking out. With the last of them crowding everyone into a group huddle party.

"Now for today's memory, capture this!"
Namjoon happily voiced out, as they set the new camera for selfie mode. Posing with their iconic gestures, the boys took many photos. The last being where all of them kissed Jungkook on his head, while the said birthday boy closed his eyes in bliss.

Jungkook was their adorable maknae. He was their strong love. Afterall, he was the apple of their eyes.

My love, happy birthday!!
