Seokjin turned the stove off just as the water began to foam around the edges of the pot with all the spices. He was able to scavenge for enough to make the Jjigae, so he made enough to make for breakfast. The sun begin to rise, so he poured the soup into three bowls on a tray then wake up Namjoon. He grabbed some spoons then went on his way.

He noticed the bedroom door was cracked open just a bit, so he nudged it with his good shoulder.

Jungkook and Namjoon were sleeping soundly on the bed. Jungkook laid beside the older with his arms wrapped around him like he was his guardian - like he was the older one. Namjoon was fast asleep on Jungkook's chest. The man was softly snoring, and for the first time his face was at ultimate ease.

Seokjin placed the tray on the nightstand beside Jungkook. The youngest fluttered his eyes open and squinted, looking over at Seokjin in sluggish alarm. "... Hyung?" He groggily says, "The food's some? I'll wake up-"

"Don't," Seokjin says, "... I can warm up the soup later, you can go back to sleep."

"... What do you mean?" Jungkook asks, but watches as Seokjin moves to the other side of the bed and lays on the other side of Namjoon.

"Let me get some of the blanket too," Seokjin whispered, pulling himself under the blanket that's just enough to fit all three of them if they stayed close enough. "Let's sleep till it's morning, okay?"

"... Okay," Jungkook nodded sluggishly, resting his head back down on the shared pillow he was using with Namjoon. His arms still wrapped around Namjoon's head and chest.

Seokjin leaned onto Namjoon's back, placing one arm over his waist and breathing softly onto his shoulder.

Namjoon smiled softly on his sleep from the warmth and comfort.

Meanwhile the other three had taken their time to confront Moon.

"Namjoon gave you permission to use his men, why aren't you taking advantage of that?!" Yoongi says, frustratingly runs his fingers in his hair. "I gave you the whole warehouse and all you decide to use is a van and a couple guns?"

"It's his decision, Yoongi," Jimin sighs, his eyes placed on the road with his hands on the wheel. He doesn't make eye contact when Yoongi frowns at the dashboard's mirror. "Let's not fight about it, we've fought enough tonight."

"Trust me, I'd love to bring a whole damn military and end this," Taehyung snarls, resting his head against the window with an upset expression. "But Jangmi is there, I can't let her see a bloody war. She'll be terrified and run away, we have to kill in the other room."

"Are you kidding me-"

"At least he's didn't disown his own daughter, okay?" Jimin shouts, his voice rising with annoyance. "I've had it! Enough with the arguing. We all make decisions, respect that-"

"How am I suppose to respect your decision of running around fucking Seokjin with every chance you get, huh?!" Yoongi shouts back, "Do you just pick on vulnerable men at vulnerable times? Is that your type? Is that the only way you can keep your dick hard, you fucking bastard!"

"I love him!" Jimin exclaims, gripping the wheel till his nails burrowed into the leather. "I loved him before, and I'll love him again. There's nothing wrong with that-"

"You don't love him," Yoongi glares before turning his head to scoff, "You're obsessed. Loving him isn't suppose to make him an unstable mess, but you've done and did just that! You made him forget why he brought you here and instead just made him a fuck toy. The smartest thing he ever did was break up with you."

"You have no say in our relationship," Jimin was prepared to step on the brake till Taehyung seethed loudly.

"Can we not bring work affairs into my situation?" Taehyung shouts, "And that is an order."

"You're not my leader," Yoongi scoffs, "You should be thanking Namjoon for giving you permission-"

"It doesn't matter!" Taehyung says, rubbing his temples again. "I want quiet! Till we at least get to Birdy's complex. Till then, just fucking prepare the guns."

"It's my love life-"

"You're manipulative-"

"Say one more word and I swear to god I will swerve this van into the Han river," Taehyung glares at the both of them, "Focus on getting my daughter back. Please."
