I didn't press him.
Didn't ask what his situation was.
I just nodded once, slow and easy, like an anchor.
He noticed.
And he looked at me again-eyes clear with something between gratitude and relief.
"You don't ask," he said. "I like that."
"Im your hyung, ofcourse I'm mature like that,"
I playfully looked at him and then replied gently,
"you'll tell me when you're ready."
He snorts then smiled
"Yeah," he said. "Yeah, I will."
Yeontan shifted beside us, tail thumping once as he stretched his body across both our legs like a warm, fuzzy bridge.
Jungkook reached out and rested his hand on Tan's back, his palm slow, steady.
"They're warm," Jungkook said suddenly, almost to himself.
"I can feel it. How warm they are."
He wasn't talking about the dog.
I looked at him, heart soft.
"They are," I agreed quietly.
"They really are."
We stayed like that for a moment.
No game.
No noise.
Just soft light and shared space.
And then Jungkook bumped my shoulder with his again and said,
"Okay, Mario Kart King. Time for you to lose your crown."
I grinned. "Bring it, loser."
We laughed, bright and open, and we picked our characters again, Yeontan nestled between us like he was born there.
The night stretched on-color and comfort and low, happy chaos.

Everything felt right.
Even in the in-between.
Even with the unspoken.
Even with the waiting.
It was enough.
For now.

Y/N's POV
"You've been busy these days,"
Yoongi says quietly, looking over at Taehyung as the four of us step into the gleaming lobby of Jin's firm.
His tone isn't accusing-just softly observant, the way Yoongi always is when he's worried but doesn't want to say it too loud.
Taehyung startles, clutching Teddy Jr. a little closer in one arm, Tigger draped lazily across the other.
