6 months later
Yoongi stepped into the apartment, the last of Jimin's boxes in his arms, and used his hip to close the door behind him. Jimin had struggled to pay rent the past couple of months at his own complex and the younger male was close to being evicted when Yoongi decided he should be a good boyfriend and suggested they move in together. At first Jimin was against it, as Jungkook, even though he would interact and play with them occasionally, still had not yet fully warmed up to Yoongi's children. But when he came home to the first eviction warning posted to his door, he decided he might as well take Yoongi up on his offer.
Yoongi walked towards Jungkook's new bedroom, which the now three-year-old would be sharing with Hoseok whenever he was over, in search of Jimin to find out where to set the box. He paused in the doorway as he saw Jimin cuddling Jungkook to sleep for his nap. The sight reminded him of how soon Jungkook would no longer need his father there to soothe him to sleep, since Yoongi had snooped around Jimin's Amazon wish list. He'd noticed a weighted blanket marked, most likely for whenever he could afford it. So Yoongi had immediately ordered one from his own account and it was supposed to be in soon as a really late birthday/early Christmas present for Jungkook. Jimin still had no idea.
Once Jimin was sure the preschooler was fully asleep, he carefully climbed out of his bed and quietly walked over to where his boyfriend stood. He greeted him with a kiss on the cheek as he slightly closed the bedroom door. "Can I help you?"
Yoongi slightly lifted his arms to show off the box. "Just came to see where you want this."
"That goes in our bedroom~" There was a slight flush to Jimin's cheeks as he said 'our', and Yoongi felt his heart flutter at the reminder that it was no longer just his place, but both his and Jimin's. Yoongi just nodded in response, knowing his voice would come out shaky if he were to speak, and turned to head into his-their bedroom, Jimin following closely. As Yoongi set the box down, Jimin threw himself onto their bed, rolling around on the soft comforter. "This bed is so comfy! I never want to leave it!"
Yoongi chuckled at the sight of his boyfriend being his adorable self, climbing onto the bed too. "I wouldn't mind you never leaving it." Yoongi commented as he crawled over the younger male, smirking at him with a playful glint in his eyes.
"Oh, you wouldn't?" Jimin asked, teasing him right back as he wrapped his arms around his neck.
"Not at all~" Yoongi managed to get out before Jimin pulled him down so their lips could meet. The shared a few short kisses, giggles filling the spaces in between, until Yoongi pulled away. "I have a lesson in 45 minutes, so I need to get ready to go." Jimin nodded and unwrapped his arms from Yoongi, letting them fall to his sides as he watched his boyfriend get dressed for his job.
It wasn't much later that Jimin was following Yoongi to the front door as he rambled. "I should be back before Chaekyung gets here to drop off Hoseok, but if I'm not-"
"Then be civil with her unless she starts acting like a bitch, then I'll drag her ass as soon as Hoseok's out of hearing range."
Yoongi snorted, not doubting for a second that Jimin would do exactly that. "Actually, I was going to say make sure Hoseok takes his backpack to his room instead of throwing it on the floor and see if he wants a snack, but sure, your plan works too." Jimin just smiled proudly as Yoongi pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose. "I will definitely be back before Namjoon and Jin show up for this stupid housewarming party."
"It's not stupid!" Jimin exclaimed in mock offense. "We get to see our friends, and Jin's cooking so we get free food out of it."
"Can't argue with that logic~" Yoongi said playfully as Jimin leaned in for a parting kiss.
After a quick kiss, Jimin wrapped his arms around Yoongi's waist for a hug. "Enjoy your lesson. Try not to murder anyone."
"Can we settle for not murdering anyone physically?" Yoongi asked. "Because I make no promises about mental murder."
Jimin pretended to contemplate Yoongi's question. "I guess mental murder is okay." The couple laughed again and shared one more kiss before Yoongi finally left for his lesson.
As Yoongi left, Dawon came out of her bedroom where she had been working on homework to ask Jimin for some help. They sat at the kitchen table so Jimin could help her through the math worksheet for a few minutes before someone knocked on the door. Knowing exactly who it was, Jimin took a deep breath to compose himself before going to answer it. "Hi, Chaekyung~" He greeted through gritted teeth. His expression completely changed at the young boy accompanying the female. "Hey, Hobi!"
"Hi, Jimin!" The boy greeted cheerfully. Much like Jimin had assured Yoongi, Hoseok's behavior gradually improved on its own with time. Sure, the boy still had the occasional mood swing, but for the most part he had finally come to terms with the fact that his parents had split up and weren't getting back together. It definitely helped that Jimin used the tactic he had learned in his Child Guidance class of focusing on all the positive things Hoseok did and ignoring the negatives unless he was about to bring harm to himself or others, which had only happened a couple of times when Hoseok had decided to throw some toys at Jungkook or even shove the younger boy down. Hoseok had definitely become more bearable to be around, and Yoongi was happy to have a good relationship with his son, and to see his children getting along again like they had back when he and Chaekyung were still together.
"What are you doing here?" Chaekyung asked, obviously not happy to see Jimin in the apartment. She was aware of his and Yoongi's relationship, as Yoongi was a firm believer in strong communication between him and his ex-partner since they had a child together and had told her the second his and Jimin's relationship began so she would know that someone new would be around their son. She had no problem hiding her disdain over her ex moving on.
"I live here now~" Jimin said, his tone cheerful but his gaze petty. "Looks like we'll be seeing each other quite often, huh?" He looked back down at Hoseok. "Why don't you go put your backpack up in your room? But be quiet, Kookie's taking a nap." Hoseok ran off as asked, gently pushing the door open so as not to wake the sleeping preschooler.
"Listen-"
"Have a nice day, Chaekyung, bye!" Jimin shut the door in her face, not in the mood to listen to whatever it was she was about to say. And based on her tone, it was probably better for him not to hear it since he didn't want any of the three children to have to pry him off of her. Hoseok stepped back into the living room and Jimin immediately took him to the kitchen to find a snack, the young boy joining him and his older sister at the table as Dawon finished her math homework with Jimin's help.

Jin and Namjoon arrived at the apartment complex at the same time for the housewarming party. Jin had bags full of ingredients in his hands as they rode the elevator up with their kids, sharing small talk. Jin and Namjoon continued to get coffee regularly, sometimes even getting lunch together whenever their breaks lined up, but they had yet to move out of the flirting stage, and Jin was starting to get impatient.
Once the elevator stopped on the correct floor, the kids ran off to where they knew the apartment was, Taehyung trailing behind the others as his gaze was fixated on the mini tablet Namjoon had gotten him to use during the rare moments they would be somewhere that involved enough social interaction to send Taehyung into a serious meltdown. "Be careful!" Jin yelled after the kids, not wanting any of them to get hurt while running, especially Eonjin as she was still fairly new to walking.
"Don't bug Yoongi and Jimin too much!" Namjoon called out, as neither of the adults felt the need to hurry their own walking.
As they walked down the hall, they continued to talk about everything and nothing at the same time until they reached the apartment door. Namjoon was reaching up to knock on the door when Jin's boldness shocked him yet again, although it probably shouldn't have. "So, when are you gonna grow some balls and ask me out?"
Namjoon started coughing as he choked on air, looking over at the older male wide eyed. Jin was watching him with no expression, but there was expectancy in his eyes. "Uh...would now be a good time?"
"To grow some balls?" Jin asked for clarification, earning a nod from Namjoon. "Technically 5 months ago or earlier would have been a good time, but now could work too."
Namjoon chuckled nervously, and it became obvious to Jin that the younger male probably would never move past that very small step. So, he took matters into his own hands and stepped forward to press his lips to Namjoon's. Namjoon's eyes widened almost comically as he realized Jin was kissing him, and it took an embarrassingly long amount of time for him to react. By the time he started to kiss him back, the apartment door was opening to reveal Jimin.
"Oh~" Jimin said, wiggling his eyebrows at them. "I was just coming to see when you would be coming in, but I see I've interrupted something." He stepped back into the apartment, slowly closing the door as he finished speaking. "I'm just gonna leave this open a little bit and you can come in whenever you've finished."
Namjoon was bright red, and Jin had to hold back a giggle at how adorable he looked while flustered. "So, um, yeah~" The taller male mumbled, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. "Should we go inside now?"
"Hmm~" Jin tilted his head as if he were thinking it over. "Well, Jimin did say whenever we've finished..."
Namjoon looked at Jin slightly confused. "Yeah?"
"And I don't think I'm quite done yet." Namjoon's eyebrows furrowed for a few seconds until he realized what Jin meant. When he did realize, he was blushing again, a shy smile making a small appearance. Jin leaned forward to kiss Namjoon again, and this time Namjoon met him halfway there.
