A few years past and everything was the same. The same daily routine for everyone.

Jimin had his occasional sleepless nights with Yoongi, his every day therapy sessions with Namjoon. He felt more and more.. Lethargic and empty. Namjoon stated they could be side effects from the medicine he was on so they had taken him off of it for a couple weeks. He was back to normal - well.. His caring and happy persona. Namjoon demanded that the lab do redo his tests. His condition worsened and he was thankful he had Yoongi there to keep him from doing anything he would’ve regretted.

Yoongi got his tests and medication, he was slowly getting better and him and Jimin were closer and nearly inseparable - they told each other everything, well almost everything. They only kept one thing from the other: their feelings for each other.

Namjoon continued his studies as science was always growing and he was being shipped new books almost everyday. He often lent Jimin some of his books, they would discuss the books once Jimin finished them.

Jungkook and Taehyung got closer, he told Taehyung little pieces of his childhood, told him about his mom and about how his ‘father’ hits him. He told Taehyung to keep quiet because if his father found out they’d both be dead.

Taehyung spent his days with Jungkook and when the younger had fallen asleep he’d slip out of the room to visit his brothers. But he felt bad because when he came back Jungkook would be awake and crying. Taehyung had to tell him he went to check on his little brother.

Seokjin learned more about medicine from one of the nurses and he asked Namjoon to order cook books for him. And taught his brother, Taehyung - who had to bring Jungkook with him this time- how to cook. He had asked Namjoon to help but kicked to the poor man out because he was a ‘disgrace to the kitchen’ because he couldn’t cut onions. But Jin made it up to him later.

Hoseok started to tone down his craziness as he grew older. Taehyun was put in the same room as him and they got along pretty well - after the many “shut up’s” he gave Hoseok it finally happened. As Hoseok calmed down over the years the two talked often and would share things about their past and the reason they were in there. Hoseok said he didn’t know his and Taehyun told him about how his brother commited a crime.

“Yoongi~!” Jimin jumped on the sleeping lump next to him. “Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” He continued to bounce on the boy,until he felt the older grip his hips. “I really wish you wouldn’t wake me up like that.” He complained. The younger merely giggled and attempted to get up.

“I’ve told you to stop that every day for… what? Three and a half years?”

“So~?”

“I’m your Hyung. You’re supposed to listen to me.”

“But I don’t.” He chuckled afterwards.

Yoongi sat up, hands still tightly on Jimin’s waist. “Jiminie?” Jimin looked up at his Hyung, the older boy only stood a couple inches above him.

"Yes?"

"You know what today is, right?" Jimin sat in thought for a couple minutes, before he gasped in realisation.

"It's your birthday!?"

"No Jiminie," he giggled. "It's your birthday. Mine is in March not October!" Yoongi trailed a hand up Jimin's body and cupped his cheek. "You're so silly.." Jimin smiled triggering Yoongi to smile as well.

"Happy birthday, Jimin.." He whispered softly, as he removed his hand from the younger's cheek and tangling it in his hair. He pulled Jimin closer to him. He leaned down and pressed his lips against Jimin's.

Jimin's eyes widened slightly but before he could kiss back, Yoongi pulled away.

"Yoongi-Hyung.." He trailed off, his cheeks a bright pink colour. Yoongi cupped his cheeks and left little pecks all over his face.

"Yoongi-Hyung!"

"Yes, Jimin-ah?" He responded, leaving a peck on his lips.

"Stop iiiitt!!" He whined, drawing out the words. "Okay." He pecked his forehead. "Only because you asked." Jimin's buried his face in the crook of Yoongi's neck, blushing madly and smiling widely.

"Let's go get breakfast."

"No! Y-You can't!" He said, pulling away and looking into Yoongi's dark eyes. "You can't -"

"I'll survive. Just have to cover up. Don't worry about me Jiminie."
