『40』

³⁄₇|𝟝

The quartet, Yoongi, Namjoon, Hoseok, and Seokjin, all agreed to tell Geumjae and Hyesun about them being matches they day they would arrive. After all, the couple would be staying in Yoongi's bedroom and see the interactions between the four while they are with the group of matches. They are coming in today, the day before Yoongi's birthday. Yoongi is currently waiting outside the lobby to receive his older brother along with his brother's wife while Hoseok, Namjoon, and Seokjin along with someone from MAMA are waiting in the apartment.

Eventually, the door to their apartment opens, and in walks a man with some similar facial features to Yoongi and a very pregnant woman, Yoongi following behind them. Before the couple can introduce themselves, Yoongi drags them into his room along with their luggage.

Hoseok's eyes drift to where the representative from MAMA stands, a manila folder clasped in her hands with the confidentiality agreements inside. Hoseok feels more and more tension beginning to grow in his shoulders and posture before Yoongi, his brother, and his brother's wife finally enter the living room, a series of introductions sounding throughout the room.

To avoid Hoseok having a name fit with Namjoon, the younger makes sure to not say his full name. They gave Namjoon many reminders so that Hoseok wouldn't fall into a name fit in front of Yoongi's brother and a pregnant lady.

Hoseok notices the odd looks the couple keep giving the MAMA representative, him understanding why. They don't know why she is here or who she is. "Geumjae-hyung, Hyesun-ssi, I have, well, we have to tell you something." Yoongi nervously speaks up. "I know it seems weird for something like this to happen as soon as you get here, but it's important for you to know," Yoongi says, looking down at his feet.

The representative steps forward. She bows before introducing herself. "Hello, I'm Park Minsu, a representative sent from MAMA," Hoseok watches at the young couple's eyes widen at the mention of MAMA. "I will need you to sign these confidentiality agreements here before Yoongi-ssi will be able to continue," After the representative's words, Geumjae gives Yoongi a questioning look. Yoongi only nods, probably a signal to tell his brother to go ahead and sign the agreement. "Take your time reading through the agreement before signing," The formally dressed woman encourages both Hyesun and Geumjae.

Eventually, the pair signs the agreement, and the representative thanks them before exiting the apartment to leave the four matches to tell Geumjae and Hyesun about their situation. "What was that about Yoongi-yah? What have you gotten yourself into?" Yoongi's older brother immediately begins to question him.

"Hyung, just let us talk, and you'll understand why we had to go through such precautions," Young sighs.

"Ok, tell us," Geumjae sits with his back against the couch and his arms crossed in front of him.

Yoongi lets a breath fall from his lips before speaking: "I have six matches, and the three that I've found are sitting here in this room with you."

"Yoongi-yah, what are you talking about? That can't be-" Geumjae's words trail off as his face scans the serious, almost anxious expression across the room. "You're joking right?" Geumjae laughs. "What you're saying, what you're suggesting isn't even possible. I've never heard of someone having more that one match," Geumjae continues to ramble, probably attempting to gather his thoughts.

"The reason you've never heard of multiple matches is that MAMA has been hiding it from the public ever since it came to be. Multiple matches have had a history of not being treated well within their communities, so MAMA wants to and has been protecting them," Seokjin explains.

"And how do you know all of this?" Geumjae immediately spits back.

"Because we've seen the files. My father let us look at them." Seokjin adds.

Geumjae pauses, seeming to think before looking up at his younger brother with concerned eyes. "Is this real? Are you telling me the truth?" Hoseok's eyebrows scrunch a little. Geumjae didn't ask about Seokjin's father.

"Yes," Yoongi nods. "Yes, I am." The anxiety and nervousness imploding within Yoongi is beginning to have the same effect on Hoseok, his leg bouncing at a quick pace and his heart-rate higher than normal. "I wouldn't lie to you, hyung. You know that." Geumjae nods, sitting back into his couch before his wife takes his hand in hers.

"It's just a lot to take in," Geumjae says as he looks at his wife who nods in an encouraging way. After a few minutes of silence, Yoongi takes Geumjae into their room, presumably to have another, more personal talk.

Hoseok's eyes drift to where Hyesun sits. "How far along is the baby?" Namjoon asks, Hyesun then directing her attention to him.

"About eight months," She responds with a soft smile.

"Is it a girl or a boy?" Seokjin is the next one to ask a question.

"A girl," She looks down at her large pregnant belly.

"Are you thinking about any names?" Hoseok asks, now feeling better with being distracted by the baby talk.

Hyesun lets out a laugh. "It seems to be a debate right now," She gives Hoseok an amused look. "Geumjae-ah wants her name to be Yunha, and I want it to be Suejin," Hyesun explains. "I think Yunha is a pretty name, but I'm more drawn toward Suejin. My mother actually came up with the name," She adds.

"Well, if your mother came up with Suejin, then, that ought to be it," Seokjin says in all seriousness, shocking Hyesun a little before Seokjin cracks a smile, implying that his seriousness was simply a semblance to his joke.

It doesn't take too long for Yoongi and Geumjae to return, the older seeming to be in higher spirits than before. Seokjin announces his plans to get all of them out of the apartment and to lunch ad soon as a more comfortable air settles around them.

Hoseok's in his room, messing around with the cards in his wallet when he hears Seokjin's voice behind him. "We're leaving in ten minutes," The older smiles.

Hoseok nods, about to turn around, but Seokjin steps into Hoseok's room and closes the door behind him. "How have you been doing?" Seokjin asks, leaning up against the door.

"Pretty good." Hoseok looks down, feeling the attention-seeking part of his bond begin to rise within him. "Just attention-starved," Hoseok admits with a light, smile as if he was trying to play off his words.

Seokjin walks up to Hoseok and pulls him into a hug. "I know, the first month is hard with the bond, but it'll get easier," Seokjin mumbles into Hoseok's hair. Hoseok sighs in the embrace before their arms drop from around one another. Seokjin leans down and captures Hoseok's lips in a caring kiss.

When an odd feeling inside Hoseok demands him to kiss Seokjin harder, he pulls away, causing a crease in Seokjin's brow at the sudden departure of Hoseok's lips.

"Sorry, I got a chill," Hoseok spits out and excuse.

"It's 'k," Seokjin smiles before placing a peck on Hoseok's mouth and leaving the younger in his room, wondering about the odd feeling that just stirred inside him. What was that?
