Chapter Text
Present day
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Intense banging shook Namjoon’s apartment door, the same door he was currently leaning against. He shivered, bringing both of his hands to his mouth to hide any sound leaking out. He could feel his heart jumping with every bang, as he whimpered to himself.
“Open up Hyung.” A familiar voice rang across the door. Familiar yet unfamiliar.
It was strangely calm, colder than usual with an overlaying dominant tinge. Yet it was also the same voice that was once one of his biggest comforts, but at this moment it drove fear and anxiety into his heart. Namjoon couldn’t help the tremors that overtook his body. Despite his fear, his disapproval, the human part of him, there was still another him that cried out to open the door. To let the other in in.
He begged for his human side to win.
“Namjoon-hyung.” The voice got sterner, slightly louder in its desperation. “I can smell you from here. I don’t want to hurt you hyung. Just let me in please.” The voice pleaded out again, sorrow apparent in the way he cried out. Once again, a part of him, the part he detested, wanted to open the door. To please the other. To stop his sorrow.
He could grit his teeth, digging his nails into the floor to stay put.
Ignoring the continuous banging and the palpitations in his heart, he couldn’t help but have one singular thought.
How did it become like this?

“I’m an omega.” Namjoon finally spoke, his eyes narrowed downwards on his clenched hands. “My test results came out yesterday.”
There was a moment of silence in the room. He couldn’t bear to look up and see the expressions of his two younger childhood friends. The two of them were two years below him and were in the same year level together. Because of this they were both unpresented, and he was the first one out their small group.
Namjoon knew that his best friends wouldn’t hate him because of this, but it still made him scared. This was the first sign that their group dynamic could change. That they were growing up. More than anything, he was completely terrified of being the reason things would change.
“Oh.” He finally heard. One singular word and his stomach dropped. His fists clenched tighter, as he squeezed his eyes to prevent any tears from dropping.
“We’re not that surprised to be honest.” Taehyung’s baritone voice rang through the room, and Namjoon immediately looked up in shock.
“You’re not? I mean the teachers and even my parents were shocked!” Namjoon exclaimed. Only his sister wasn’t shocked, merely looking at him as if he was the weird one for making a big deal about it.
“I mean you have always been the most caring and gentlest out of all of us, so we kind of expected it Hyung.” Jungkook spoke casually, fiddling with the game controller in his hands. He and Taehyung had both just been playing a game when Namjoon decided to tell them the news.
“Anyway, it doesn’t change anything! Who care’s if you’re an omega, you’ll always be our favourite adorable Hyung!” Jungkook flashed a grin at him, and for the first time that day, Namjoon smiled back, unable to hide the tears in his eyes. Both of his dongsaengs tackled him into a hug. They cried and laughed a lot that day.
Unaware to all of them, those words would become both a source of comfort to Namjoon and the beginning of the shackles to their relationship.

“Congratulations on graduating Namjoon-Hyung!” Both Taehyung and Jungkook cheered, as they pulled party poppers at him.
Namjoon couldn’t hide the blush on his face from appearing as he beamed at them. “Thanks you two.” His heart felt warm at the thought of his two dongsaengs preparing this small party for him.
“Aww you’re so cute when you blush. Look at those dimples” Taehyung cooed at the other, reaching over to pinch his cheeks.
“Don’t tease him on his special day.” Jungkook laughed, “Now come Hyung, we bought some fried chicken and cake! Come eat!” Jungkook lightly pushed Taehyung away from the other and pulled Namjoon down to sit at the dining table where all the food was.
Once they all sat down, Jungkook spoke, “Oh your parents were really devastated that they couldn’t make it, but they said they’ll take you out to dinner tomorrow.”
Namjoon smiled brightly, “It’s okay, how could I ask for more when you both are already here!”
Both of the younger two feigned putting a hand over their hearts as they swooned, “Ack! How can you be older than us yet so adorable.” Taehyung dramatically sighed.
Namjoon only laughed lightly at their words, covering his mouth with his hands as he did so. The same habit he had ever since he was young. “Don’t be silly guys, let’s eat.”
Because the three of them were teenagers, the food was quickly depleted. At one point though, Namjoon could feel a headache forming as he watched his two younger friends fight over the last chicken piece. They ended up doing rock, paper, scissors for it which of course meant Jungkook won.
“Why do you always choose this game when you’ve never beat Jungkook at it.” Namjoon sighed as he patted Taehyung’s head who was currently sulking.
Taehyung pouted at him, “I mean statistically I should win one day right!”
Namjoon laughed, but suddenly stopped when a plate appeared in front of his face.
“Here Hyung! You can have the chicken. I won it for you!” Jungkook beamed his familiar bunny like smile at him.
Namjoon could only fondly smile, “All that work and you still gave up your prize? Our Kookie really grew up well didn’t he.” He then reached over to pat the other’s head.
Jungkook smiled brightly once more, leaning into the head pats.
“You’re such a sucker for Namjoon-hyung! Jiminie was right! It’s so obvious that you’re in lo-“ Taehyung pouted at his same-age friend, but was interrupted by a pillow being thrown at his face.
“Shut up you sore loser! I should be able to do what I like with my prize! It’s not like you wouldn’t have done the same!” Jungkook shouted at the other, before throwing another pillow.
Namjoon quickly retreated as the two erupted in a pillow fight, forced to eat his chicken in a corner. He couldn’t help but smile fondly over them though.
After the pillow fight, the two were severely tired. Jungkook was huffing as he pointed at the other, “It-it’s not over yet Tae! But for now…let’s pull a truce.”
Taehyung, who looked equally as tired, nodded, “Fine then…but I’m not giving up.”
“Are you guys done yet?” Namjoon asked from his position on the bed. He was currently reading his new book that the both of them had given for his birthday.
The two shared an evil look, before charging over to him with more pillows. Namjoon could only shriek as he realized what they were up to, “Wait! Don’t crease the book! Don’t crease the book!”
It was too late though as the both of them jumped on top of him.
After another pillow fight that ended in the three of them heaving on the bed, Jungkook yawned. “I’m so sleepy. Let me just take a quick nap here.” He slowly spoke, snuggling up against one of Namjoon’s sides.
In the blink of an eye he started to softly snore.
“Always so easy to sleep. I’m jealous.” Namjoon smiled at Taehyung. But the other didn’t reply and instead snuggled up against his other side. It was rare for Namjoon to allow them to cuddle so closely to him, as he was normally a ‘I need personal space’ kind of guy.
He must have been really happy about the party…I’m glad. Taehyung thought, as he took advantage of it by wrapping his arms around the other’s chest.
There was a moment of peaceful silence before Taehyung spoke once more.
“Sometimes Hyung-” Taehyung yawned, resting his head against the other’s neck. “Sometimes, I feel like I can’t get close enough to you.”
Namjoon laughed, ignoring the odd feeling that Taehyung’s breath on his neck brought up, “What do you mean? I don’t think you could get any closer than you are right now.”
Taehyung chuckled, and Namjoon almost shivered from hearing that deep laugh so close to his hear, “I wish I could crawl under your skin. Along with Kookie. Just both of us nestled as close as possible to you.” The younger male yawned as he spoke, his voice fading as he succumbed to sleep.
Namjoon didn’t respond, he didn’t know how to respond. Because he knew exactly how he felt.
Namjoon often felt the same towards them but telling them that…would make him risk too much. It didn’t help that there was still a year before either of them presented.
Wrapping a hand around the other’s back, he couldn’t help but sigh peacefully as he listened to the evened out breathing of the two younger teens.
Was it too selfish of him to want to stay like this forever?

Taehyung couldn’t stop the smile from appearing on his face as he walked down the street. The cause of his joy belonged to the paper in his right hand. He couldn’t help but unfold the paper to make sure it was real. That it had the same word written on it. Alpha.
He couldn’t help but clench the paper in his hand, excited at the news. Well, it was not like he ever had any doubts. He, Namjoon, and even Jungkook, were destined to be together forever. And there was no better way to cement that by becoming his beloved Hyung’s alpha.
He had always planned to confess his love to his Hyung the day of his own presentation. The day he would finally be seen as a legal adult in society, and no longer just a baby in the other’s eyes.
He couldn’t stop the smile spreading further across his face, clenching the paper in his hands as he ran over to Namjoon’s apartment. The one the omega moved into after he had been accepted into his new university. It wasn’t too far from their original homes, only around 20 minutes via train. He had already texted Jungkook to meet him there.
At the thought of telling his beloved mate- friends the news, he couldn’t help but run faster. Whooping in the as he did so. He didn’t know if it was because he just had his presentation, but he noticed that he ran faster than normal.
As he got closer, he noticed the figure that was far away. His smile grew tighter as he ran even faster to jump onto his best friend.
“Kookie!” He yelled, laughing with all his heart. “You got here early!”
Jungkook wrapped his arms around the other, having to quickly let go of his school bag to balance the two of them properly, “Woah there Tae, you’re excited. Let me guess…you got your presentation results?”
At Taehyung’s excited laugh, Jungkook knew he was right. The younger couldn’t help but smile fondly, despite the jealousy he felt. “Damn it, why did I have to be 6 months younger than you! I can’t wait until I present!”
“You were just meant to always be our baby.” Taehyung teased the other, roughing up his hair as he did so and stepping back to avoid getting kicked by the other. “Anyway, why are you out here and not inside? Is Hyung not home yet? That’s weird, I thought his uni classes finished an hour ago. He messaged me that he would be home by now.”
Jungkook frowned, “Yeah and he hasn’t been answering my calls yet either.”
Worry instantly filled the newly presented alpha. “Let’s go look for him. Maybe he’s still on the way home from uni, and we can meet him in the middle. The campus is only a 10-minute walk away from here anyway.”
Jungkook nodded. If anyone else were here, they would have said that Taehyung was being too overprotective. But because it was Jungkook, he understood.
As the both of them started to run in the direction of Namjoon’s university, Taehyung could suddenly feel his heightened senses go into overdrive. He didn’t know if it was part of being an alpha, or because he was newly presented, but he could smell and hear everything.
It made his heart race. With excitement or anxiety he didn’t know.
He only knew he felt like he was going crazy.
“Shit! Taehyung slow down, you’re going too fast!” Jungkook yelled at the other, who was currently metres in front of him. Taehyung startled, his mind suddenly coming back to reality. Jungkook had always been the fastest in their year, the fastest they knew. If he was complaining, then Taehyung must have really been going fast.
He looked down to see his trembling legs. He didn’t realize in the moment, but he was really hitting the limits of his body. Even though his heart was still racing, he forced himself to calm down for Jungkook’s sake.
On the other hand, Jungkook was heaving as he glanced at his best friend. It had taken all his strength to even try to keep up with him. He didn’t know what had gotten into Taehyung to be acting like this. He had never seen this side of the other before.
He couldn’t help but frown, suddenly realizing what Taehyung must have presented as. The idea of Taehyung presenting as an alpha though…only made him anxious. He had never hated being 6 months younger than the other at this moment.
“Damn where is Hyung?” He couldn’t help but complain to Taehyung, in an attempt to ease his dark feelings. “He’s going to have to make it up to us for getting us this worried.” He couldn’t help but pout jokingly.
When he didn’t receive a reply though, he glanced at the other, “Taehy-“.
Jungkook froze when he saw what the other looked like.
Taehyung’s expression, in the split moment he could still see him, was ice cold. No matter how angry Taehyung had gotten at him before, he had never been scared of him. Right now, though, he couldn’t help but involuntarily take a step back as his heart skipped a beat.
Before Jungkook could even ask what was wrong, Taehyung had run, no sprinted, away. Even as Jungkook chased him, he couldn’t keep up. His lungs felt like they were burning.
It was only when he turned into an alley he had seen; that his blood froze.
And for the first time in his life, Jungkook felt true fear.
Holy shit. These words were the only ones that Jungkook could use to describe the situation.
His eyes instantly moved to the flurry of bodies on the ground, wrestling with each other. It took him a few seconds to register that one of the bodies belonged to his best friend. The body that was currently pummelling the other into the ground. Furthermore, the smell of alphas was prevalent in the alleyway.
Before he could even think to step in though, another voice took his attention, “STOP IT! STOP IT PLEASE!” A familiar voice pleaded brokenly. Jungkook’s eyes immediately drifted to the broke voice in the corner, only to find his heart break at the sight.
His usual composed and mature Hyung lay in the corner of the alley. His shirt was ripped, but luckily his pants weren’t. That was the only good thing though as claw marks were visible all over his body. Everything suddenly clicked into place, and rage filled his body. He wanted nothing more than to kill the alpha that Taehyung was currently fighting. Not like his friend needed any help in that at the moment.
Despite his injuries, it seemed that Namjoon was more focused on the two alphas fighting. “STOP IT! PLEASE STOP IT! YOU’RE GOING TO KILL EACH OTHER!” He pleaded, but it was clear his body was too weak in the moment to stop them. The sight of his Hyung’s eyes though, the helplessness within them, only broke Jungkook even more. It was only when he whimpered once more that Jungkook snapped out of it. This wasn’t the time to be angry, nor was it the time to exact revenge. Namjoon needed him to calm the situation down.
Crunch. Taehyung was merciless as he punched the other alpha straight in the jaw, causing him to finally be limp.
It was pure determination that helped Jungkook grab Taehyung’s shoulder to pull him back. He had to grit his teeth to use all his strength and ignore the stray punches thrown his way.
“STOP IT TAEHYUNG! YOU’RE HURTING HYUNG! HE’S SCARED” Jungkook could only call out, as he braced himself to hold Taehyung back.
It was only then that Taehyung finally calmed down. Only then that he was able to stop beating the bloody body on the floor. Only then that he could hear the weak whimpers of his omega from the corner. He flailed his body out of Jungkook’s hold to run over to his hyung.
“Fuck! Namjoon-hyung are you okay-?” Taehyung reached out to him, but immediately froze when he realized the omega was shielding himself from him. “Hyung it’s okay, it’s just me!” He called out once again, trying to reach out once more.
Namjoon only whimpered, blocking his eyes with his arms as he cradled in the corner. His body was trembling as he did so.
“W-what’s wrong Hyung?” Taehyung couldn’t help but call out once more, his heart breaking at the fact he had just been rejected two times in a row.
His heart dropped at the realization that Namjoon was terrified of him.
Jungkook ran over to pull Taehyung back. “Look at yourself right now Tae! Now’s not the right time to help him!”
The alpha blinked slowly at the other’s words. He finally looked down at his arms, at his clothes.
They were covered in blood.
What came over me? Taehyung’s body trembled at the fact that he might have killed someone. He couldn’t help but fall to his knees in the alleyway.
As Jungkook looked over the scene in the alleyway, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply and bring out his phone to call an ambulance.

“Namjoon-hyung. How are you feeling today?” Jungkook sat next to Namjoon’s bed. He was worried for his hyung. The omega currently looked almost unresponsive as he laid down. It had been a few days since the incident, but Namjoon had barely spoken to anyone.
He had only asked one thing afterward. Is the alpha still alive?
Jungkook had been relieved that his Hyung had spoken and had quickly reassured him that he was indeed alive, although badly beaten up.
After that the only thing he had stated was that he didn’t want to charge the alpha that had attempted to assault him. The alpha was only a university friend that had gone into an unexpected rut and Namjoon was the one who had dragged him into the alleyway to calm him down.
Namjoon said because Taehyung had stopped him in time, that being almost beaten to death was enough of a consequence for his loss of restraint. But Jungkook knew that Namjoon just didn’t want to prolong the whole ordeal. He wanted to just forget about it.
Taehyung had not been happy to hear about Namjoon’s decision, but no matter what it was still his decision to make.
“…I’m fine.” Namjoon finally responded after a moment of silence.
Jungkook felt pained at the sight. It hurt seeing his first and current love so unlike himself.
The unpresented teen could only grip his hands, as he thought of what he could say to make the whole situation not as sullen. He could only curse his own awkwardness. Ironically, the only one who would know what to say in a situation like this was Namjoon himself.
The thought made Jungkook only grip his pants harder. Why do I always have to be so useless? He couldn’t help but grit his teeth at the thought.
“…How’s Taehyung?” The sudden question made his head instinctively rise to face the omega.
“Okay! He’s okay! He’s just moping around because he feels bad for scaring you Hyung!” Jungkook quickly replied.
Namjoon smiled wryly at the other’s response. His heart dropped at the idea that his own reaction had caused the other to be in pain.
It wasn’t Taehyung himself that he feared. He knew the other was just trying to protect him.
That day, Namjoon’s omega had called out for help. And he knew that it was those pheromones being released that brought Taehyung over. When he had first seen the sight of his childhood friend, he had felt relieved.
But that relief quickly turned over to fear at just how brutal Taehyung had become. His normally pacifistic, childish and cute childhood friend had become a feral animal. All because of him. Because his omega had asked for help.
Namjoon wasn’t scared of alphas. He was scared of what his omega could do to alphas. He was scared of the way they could completely change just by smelling his omega’s scent.
That was what terrified him.
But he didn’t know how to explain that to Jungkook or even explain that to Taehyung. It might’ve been his pride of being older, but he couldn’t help but want to hide his cowardly self from them. He couldn’t help but bite his lip at the frustration he felt.
“-Hyung? Are you okay? Your lip is bleeding.” Jungkook’s doe eyes were filled with worry as he tenderly brought an arm to Namjoon’s face.
The warmth from his hand almost made the omega cry. But instead, he only nodded slightly, “…I’m fine. You don’t need to worry.”
Jungkook only frowned unconvinced but didn’t pursue it. “If you say so, Hyung.” He pulled his hand away from the other’s face.
The both of them immediately missed the feeling of the other’s skin, but neither said a word.
“Jungkook-“ Namjoon finally spoke up again, his eyes shadowed as he spoke. “I just want to move on from this. I don’t care about anything else, I just want to go back to normal.”
Jungkook could only nod reluctantly. Even though he knew this wasn’t the healthiest way to approach this situation, there was nothing he could do.
He would do anything to make his Hyung smile again.
“Thank you. Please tell Taehyung what I said again….and that I’m sorry his presentation day turned out like this because of me. I feel horrible that a day that should have been filled with happiness was ruined like that.” Namjoon spoke, his body rigid as he did.
“Hyung-!” Jungkook immediately wanted to reply that it wasn’t his fault. But Namjoon only shook his head.
“Please just follow what I said Jungkook. Words of pity won’t make me feel any better right now.”
Hearing the other’s words, Jungkook could only sigh as he nodded reluctantly. “It doesn’t please me, but I will do as you wish Hyung.”
“Thank you Jungkook.”
“…no worries Hyung.”

Despite his words, Namjoon was unable to treat the other the same. The moment Taehyung came too close, and the omega smelt the scent of ‘alpha’ he immediately froze up.
It was not just Taehyung, but the smell of any alpha that made him feel this way. In fact, it was only Taehyung that Namjoon let get so close to him for small moments of time.
It made him frustrated, but he knew that his frustration didn’t come close to the sadness Taehyung felt.
This lasted for months.
It was only when they were alone together in Namjoon’s apartment one day, that Namjoon realized just how much he was hurting the other through his rejections.
“Where’s Kookie?” Namjoon asked from where he was currently studying at the desk. The presence of the unpresented teen made him feel better compared to being alone with the other alpha.
“He said he would be late today and that he will be coming later.” Taehyung replied as he walked closer to Namjoon to take a look at what he was studying.
The moment Namjoon sensed the alpha’s presence behind his back though, he couldn’t help but immediately jump up as a reflex.
From the immediate drop in temperature in the room, Namjoon knew that he had messed things up again.
“Taehyung it’s not you-“ He immediately tried to clarify after seeing the hurt expression on the other’s face.
“I know. It’s not me, but alphas you’re scared of right.” Taehyung sarcastically smiled as he walked over to the other’s bed. He couldn’t help but scold himself inwardly as he did so. No matter how upset he was, he still went seeking for the omega’s scent as comfort. “But Hyung, it’s time you accept that I am an alpha.”
Namjoon blinked slowly at the other’s words, slightly perturbed at the odd behaviour he was expressing. “What do you mean?”
Taehyung smiled thinly at him, “You can’t just avoid it by saying it’s not me that you’re scared of. No matter how much you try to ignore it, I’m still an alpha. That means you just have to accept that you’re scared of me.” He finally released the words that had built up in him.
After a moment of silence, Namjoon only shook his head, “Please Taehyung, don’t say that!” He couldn’t help the frustration from leaking out into his words.
He knew that many of the alphas around him were hurt by his behaviour. But he just could help it! There was no one more frustrated with himself than him. It wasn’t uncommon for him to lay awake at night wishing he had been anything else but an omega.
Taehyung only laughed bitterly, “Say what? Say the truth? I know you’re hurt Hyung. And trust me, there’s nothing I wish for more than wanting you to heal. I think about that situation from months ago and regret my actions from back then. If only I had come a little quicker, if only I hadn’t told you to rush home that day. I think about those regrets every day Hyung. But you can’t keep running away from your feelings like this Hyung. You can’t just pretend that everything is okay, because it isn’t.”
Namjoon was speechless from Taehyung’s words. He could feel the pain and hurt within his words, and he felt bad for being the cause of that. But just as equally, Namjoon felt frustrated. He couldn’t stop his own locked in words from bursting out, “I don’t know what you want me to do! I’m doing my best to pretend everything’s fine for your sake Taehyung! Of course I know you’re an alpha Taehyung, all my senses scream that the moment you’re around! But you’re my dear childhood friend, how could I just avoid you because you became an alpha? It’s not your fault…it’s mine. I’m the one hurting you. I’m the one hurting myself.”
Namjoon finally sighed in tiredness, as he collapsed back down onto his study chair.
“Finally Hyung.” Taehyung smiled bitterly once more at him, his voice returning to normal, “I’m glad you finally spoke your mind. I know you’re trying your best to not hurt me, but you need to understand that seeing you in pain hurts me more than anything else. You don’t need to hurt yourself to stay by my side Hyung.”
Namjoon could only shake his head, “There’s no other way.”
“But there is Hyung.” Taehyung said slowly, almost as if he was afraid his words would spook the other, “I’ve spoken to a lot of omegas who have experienced something similar like you. Ones that have recovered after years of living in fear like you are. And as much as it would sadden me, I think it’s best for you if I stay away for a little while. And before you interrupt or refuse, I’m not saying this for your sake only. It would also be for my own. While we’re separated, I think it would be best for you to go to therapy and learn how to deal with your trauma properly. I don’t want to make it seem like I’m forcing you to go, but I really think it would help Hyung.”
Namjoon’s lips trembled at his words. He felt equal parts touched and miserable at Taehyung’s thoughtfulness.
“So you want us to separate Taehyung? For us to not see other anymore?” Namjoon finally let in one breath.
“…Only for a little while. At least until you can stop trembling in the presence of an alpha. It’s for the best Hyung. And at the very least both of us will still have Jungkook that can act as bridge.” Taehyung finally sighed.
Namjoon went silent as he thought over what Taehyung was truly saying. Deep inside, he knew it was for the best, but it didn’t mean he had to like it. He could only shake his head though. He knew Taehyung was doing this for him. The other had been clingy to him for his entire life. It would pain the both of them equally to be separated.
After a while Namjoon finally reluctantly nodded, his eyes red as he did so, “…You’re right. Staying like this will only hurt the both of us more. I’ll do my best in therapy so I can hug you again in the future.”
As Namjoon looked closely at Taehyung whose head was currently down, he could see a red tinge in the other’s eyes too. His voice trembled as he spoke “…Thank you Hyung. Being able to embrace you again…there’s nothing I desire more. I’ll wait as long as you need me to.”
Namjoon could feel his throat swelling up as he held his own tears, his voice trembling too, “What did I do to deserve you, to deserve both of you and Jungkook as my closest friends?”
Taehyung only shook his head in response, “We should be the ones asking that.”
Despite the sad atmosphere, and the part of his heart that felt like it was missing, Namjoon couldn’t help but notice that he hadn’t felt this relieved in months. It was almost like he was taking a step forward to a better future. Like the heavy rain in his life was starting to clear up.
Of course, he forgot one important thing.
When it rains….it pours.
Ding Dong. The sound of the doorbell interrupted the bittersweet atmosphere.
“That must be Jungkook.” Namjoon mused, wiping the wetness away from his teary eyes. He stood up to get the door. “Perfect, it would be great to explain everything we talked about to him.”
Despite the happy feeling Namjoon got at the idea of seeing his other childhood friend, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding as he walked closer to the door. But he chalked it up to being stuck in a room with an alpha, and the alpha scent making him feel this way.
Because his head was too focused on this reasoning, he failed to realize that the alpha scent wasn’t getting lighter as he reached the door. Instead it was getting-
The moment Namjoon opened the door, a fresh influx of alpha scent hit him in the face.
Jungkook’s eyes were tearing up as he looked pitifully at the older omega, a white card in his hand “Hyung I-“
The combined smell of two alphas plus the flurry of emotions that he experienced hit him all at once, and he could no longer take it.
“Hyung!” “Namjoon-hyung!” Two voices worriedly yelled out at the same time.
Namjoon fainted on the spot.
