"What is that?" Hoseok's anxious voice made Seokjin jump and look at the younger.
"Uh, i-it's a-" Jin stuttered staring at the neatly folded paper.
"Are you crying?" Hoseok sat next to Jin and leaned his head on the elder's shoulder as he sniffled.
"What's wrong?" He asked wiping the hot tears off of his face.
"Here." Jin gulped and put the letter in front of Hoseok's sight, knowing that Jungkook would want all of them to see it.
"What is it? Is this what made you cry?" He asked staring cautiously at it.
Jin nodded, still trying to digest what he had just read, "read it." He muttered gently biting down on his lip.
Hoseok unfolded the paper his eyes widened and mouth gasped at the familiar hand writing, "H-Ho- J-Jung.. Kook?" He chokes out looking up and down from the letter to his hyung.
"Yes, it is Kook's." He replied placing a comforting arm around Hoseok's shoulders as he began to read, tears brimming his eyes.
"When..When was t-this?" He asked looking up, his expression was still in utter shock.
"No idea." Seokjin sniffled, "it must have been just before you saw him, his handwriting is really messy, he must've been in a rush."
Hoseok nodded, continuing to read the rest of the note.
"Jesus Christ! why is there a fucking flood-" Hoseok got startled out of reading when he heard Namjoon shout from the kitchen and then a loud thump that sounded like a someone had just plummeted to the ground.
Jin quickly got up and ran to the kitchen as Hoseok continued, engrossed in the special message. Indeed, Hoseok was correct, as Seokjin walked into the room he saw Namjoon sprawled across the kitchen tiles holding his head, as his clothes became soaked in water that had come from the washing machine.
"You okay?" He asked bending down and reaching his hand out, careful not to get his socks wet.
Namjoon nodded, taking the hand and watching as water dropped from his pyjamas, "Great, I've got a hangover and now I'm soaking wet. Why the fuck is water everywhere and why isn't there a sign or something?" He asked scrunching his shirt up trying to rinse out the water.
"Well, this.." Seokjin started pointing at the mess on the floor. "is your fault so, to be completely honest you deserved that." Seokjin smirked cheekily before continuing, his smile instantly fading, "Hobi's in the lounge, there's something you should see."
"What about-"
Namjoon was about to protest when he got cut off by a screech and another loud smack of skin slapping against the tiled floors.
"Ow!" Jimin squirmed holding his back, "why is there a slip 'n slide in our kitchen?" He asked looking at the two males who stood before him.
"Ask your leader." Namjoon sighed and pulled Jimin up as the usual harmless boy gave him a glare for getting his pyjamas wet.
"Look, don't blame me, blame Hobi, he's the one who threw up on my shoes!" Namjoon defended putting his hands in the air.
Both of their eyes widened, "Namjoon you put them new fucking leather shoes in the wash?!" Seokjin exclaimed his muscles tensing as he quickly ran over to the machine, careful not to slip.
"What were you thinking? They were ridiculously expensive!" Seokjin muttered and Namjoon rolled his eyes, fortunately neither of the boys noticed.
"Look, hyung."
Jin sighed and gazed at the two boys softly, "listen, you really have to go see what we found. Hobi will explain, I'll sort this out don't worry." Jin shoos them away despite their protests.
Reluctant both boys listened and headed into see their hyung.
"Hey hyu-"
"Are you crying?" Namjoon cut Jimin off instantly rushing to comfort the boy.
"What's wrong? Jimin asked glancing at the shaking paper in his hand.
"Read this."
____
They were watching another film after the long day, films were the only things that they could do to comfort them, it was what they did as a whole group every weekend when they had some free time. Now it had become a habit for the boys to watch films, even if they were boring or it was a cringey rom-com, it made them feel like everything was normal.
Jin huffed pulling his blanket further up careful not to wake Namjoon who was sleeping soundly on his lap. Today had been hectic, the letter in the morning had caused a controversy, whether they should keep it for themselves, or show the rest of the world. Eventually, after much persuasion him and Jimin had managed to stop Namjoon and Hoseok from ruining the last thing of Jungkook they had left, and got them to promise to keep the letter and have it as a secret.
Jimin and Hoseok squeaked as a gory image appeared on the screen and cuddled into Jin further - who was to busy reflecting on the day to notice.
Jimin noticed his behaviour and furrowed his eyebrows, but decided to let the thought subside as he heard Hoseok almost scream, luckily clamping his mouth shut before any sound could reach Namjoon.
Jimin rested his hand on Namjoon's arm, Jungkook's letter had given him great motivation, to do better, to make him proud. It was comforting hearing the words of Jungkook after so long. Although Jimin knew that Jungkook wasn't alive, when reading the paragraphs he could almost hear Jungkook's voice in the back of his mind reading it out from deep inside his heart.
"Oh my god, It was the girl!" Hoseok's voice laced in shear horror disturbed both Jin and Jimin out of their thoughts, they glumly nodded and stared at the screen.
Seokjin sighed closing his yes and leaning his head against the leather couch. Yoongi, his heart ached when he read the letters Yoongi, his eyes stung when he read over the sentence 'You'll be healthy again." Oh how he wished Jungkook was right, how he wished that he was in that hospital room cuddling up to his boyfriend and telling him everything would be okay. Jin would swallow a lump in his throat every time he heard someone mention 'suga.' He was Seokjin's light, he was Seokjin's air, without him he was nothing, it was like he couldn't function properly without his companion by his side.
Seokjin sighed, catching the attention of both boys beside him who were trying to ignore Namjoon's annoyingly loud snores.
"You okay?" Jimin asked, this time deciding to ask as his concern for elder was becoming too much.
Jin thought, was he okay? No. Did he want to be okay? Well, that's a different question, of course he wanted to be okay, be happy again, but the only way to do that was to get Taehyung, Jungkook and Yoongi back - and he knew that there was no way he could do that.
"Is anyone okay?" He asked, regretting it straight away as he saw Jimin's expression change, he didn't mean for it to come out like that.
After a build of tension Seokjin decided to break it, gulping he looked awkwardly at the screen, "Sorry...I didn't mean to say that."
There was a silence, and Jin's heart raced - what had he done? He could have triggered something or someone.
Jimin looked at his hyung, eyes softening, "no, I agree, it was a stupid thing to say. No one is okay right now." Hoseok nodded, "after this morning, and everything that's happened I agree, but I think it's good to not be okay." Hoseok started, eyes latched to the screen just as an image ran towards them and screamed.
All of the boys jumped, ultimately in the process waking a very startled Namjoon up.
"What the fuck?! What was that noise?" Jin giggled and relaxed back down into the chair, placing his hand back in Namjoon's hair and stroking it softly.
"It was just the film, don't worry."Jimin snorted and snuggled back in to Seokjin's arm. Whereas Hoseok searched for his hyung, too scared to open his eyes in case the image popped up in front of him again.
The high pitched sound of someone's phone rang through the house, Namjoon quickly got up and scurried to the sound.
"Hello?" He sat back next to the boys and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Namjoon, it's Sejin." Namjoon sighed, what now? "It's been confirmed that you'll be restarting your tour in May, it'll finish in September." He paused waiting for a reply from Namjoon, but didn't get one so took it as a sign to continue.
"Dance practice will start tomorrow, also get Jimin and Jin to singing practise tomorrow, and you and Hoseok to come to the studio. You'll be getting taught the choreo for 'Spring Day' come to the dance studio around midday."
"Spring Day?" Namjoon absentmindedly whispered raking his brain trying to remember the song.
"Remember it's the song you composed with a few others before the start of the tour last year, well we've perfected it and now it's pretty good." Namjoon's mouth was agape, his brain couldn't absorb all the information he was being fed.
"Don't you think it's a bit soon to be practising again? Don't you think we need a break for a while to get into the right state of mind, because currently none of us are okay." Namjoon vented his frustration out through the phone balling his hands into fists.
"Look Namjoon, I tried as hard as I could but with all the impatient fans it has to be soon." Namjoon sighed.
"Okay, we'll be there tomorrow."
"Good decision, see you tomorrow." Once the call ended Namjoon scowled, causing all of the attention to turn to him.
"Who was it?" Hoseok asked.
"Sejin hyung. Listen, the tour will be starting in May.-"
"May!? That's only next month Joon, we won't be fit enough to dance to the songs non-stop. None of us are ready for this, both mentally and physically." Namjoon rubbed his head frustratedly, knowing that Seokjin was right.
"Look, hyung, you and Jimin have to go to singing practise tomorrow, and me and Hobi Hyung will be going to the studio. We'll be meeting again later in the day to practise choreography for our new song." Namjoon stood up as soon as he finished and headed to bed, today had been too hectic.
He relaxed when his body hit the fluffy duvet and pillows, he didn't know what was in store for the future, it felt like there was something wrong performing with just the four of them. He stretched his back and rolled over, he could hear faint voices in the living room, he wasn't sure if they were full of anger and shouting at each other, full of excitement or just drained out in sadness.
But, today is today, tomorrow will be a new day a new beginning, so what does it mater?

Thank you for reading this chapter I hope that you enjoyed it.
Two things,
One- HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIM CHIM! I love you so much💜
Two- so I went to the concert in London, and honestly it was one of the best nights of my life. It made my love for bts grow, if that's even possible. They were honestly so good and the fanchart and army bombs just added to it.
They said that they would definitely come back again, and Namjoon said that he got lots of inspiration from London so expect some songs!😁
But I hope that the boys are taking care of themselves, Jungkook and Jimin are now both injured and I really don't want anyone else getting hurt either😢 I hope that they won't overwork themselves.
Thanks for reading! I will post again sometime next week.
Seeya!💜
