Scene: Outside Fourth’s House

The car halts in front of a large, cozy-looking house surrounded by flowers and wind chimes. Fourth takes a deep breath, clutching his phone tightly.

Fourth: (whispering) Okay… we’re here. But let me go in first with my friends(looking at ohm mark winny satang)Gemini, you and the others wait outside for a bit, okay?

Gemini: (nodding softly) Okay. I’ll wait for your signal.

Fourth walks to the door with Ohm, Mark, Satang, and Winny. He rings the bell. Within seconds, the door flies open and Taehyung pulls him into a tight hug.

Taehyung: (teary-eyed, holding Fourth’s face) Awww, my baby! You’re finally back! Do you know how much I missed you, huh? Don’t you dare leave me again for a whole week like that!

Fourth: (laughing awkwardly) Ohho, calm down na, hyung! My friends are watching!

Ohm: (smiling) It’s okay, Fourth. We can see how much he missed you — it’s cute.

Mark: (pretending to sulk again) But what about us, hyung? Didn’t you miss us too? That’s not fair!

Taehyung: (laughing, hugging them all) Ohho, you sulky boys! Of course I missed all of you! Come inside, quickly!

They all enter the warm, familiar home. The aroma of food greets them instantly.

Jimin: (coming out from the kitchen, squealing) Awww, my bubu Fotfot! You’re back! I missed you so much! Come, come — I made something delicious for you and your friends!

Fourth: (hugging him back tightly) I missed you and your food too much, na hyung.

Suga: (appearing with his arms crossed) Hmph. I see no one missed me, huh?

Fourth: (grinning) Ohho, my most adorable grandpa hyung, how could I not miss you?

Suga: (glaring) Who’s grandpa, huh?! I’m still young and handsome, okay!

Jin: (laughing loudly) Sure, sure, grandpa. Fourth’s right, you sulk more than anyone here!

Namjoon: (smiling kindly) So, how was your stay at the hotel? Did you all have fun?

Fourth: Yes, hyung. We enjoyed a lot, really. It was so refreshing being together again.

But then Fourth’s tone changes. He looks serious. His hands fidget slightly.

Fourth: Hyung… there’s something I need to tell you. And… someone I want you to meet.

Taehyung: (raising a brow, half teasing) Someone? Don’t tell me you’ve got a boyfriend now, baby. No, no, that’s not allowed! You’re still my little boy, okay?

Fourth: (rolling his eyes) Ohho, hyung! I don’t have any boyfriend! Just listen to me once—

Before he can finish, the door opens again. Gemini, Joong, Pond, Dunk, and Phuwin slowly step inside. The laughter in the room fades instantly. Taehyung freezes, his expression changing from warmth to shock.

Taehyung: (stunned, voice trembling) …You?
(turns to Fourth, hurt and angry) Fourth… why did you bring him here? I told you to stay away from him! Don’t you remember what happened? Why would you—why would you do this?!

Gemini: (immediately stepping forward, voice pleading) Please, hyung. Please just hear me out. I came here to explain everything — the truth. I want to make things right this time.

Jimin: (furious) Why are you here again, Gemini? Haven’t your family caused enough pain already? They were finally trying to move on, and now you show up again to ruin it? Why?!

Fourth: (stepping between them, tears forming) Hyung, please! Just listen once. Give him a chance to speak. Please, for me.

Suga: (stern) Fourth, you’re young and too kind-hearted. Don’t let him fool you again. Tell him to leave before this goes too far.

Namjoon: (quietly observing) No. Let’s hear him. If Fourth insists this much, he must have a reason.

Taehyung: (looking torn, voice shaking) I… I can’t, Namjoon hyung. You don’t understand. Every time they come near, they will get hurt. Every time! I can’t let it happen again.

Jin: (gently) Taetae… please. For me, just this once. One chance. Let him speak.

Taehyung looks at everyone — Jimin’s anger, Suga’s suspicion, Namjoon’s calm gaze, Jin’s pleading eyes — then finally at Fourth, who’s standing beside Gemini with tears threatening to fall.

Taehyung: (softly) One chance. That’s it. One.

Gemini exhales shakily, glancing at Fourth who nods reassuringly. The air in the room is heavy — the start of a storm no one can avoid anymore
