...The ride back home was dead quiet....

...The radio had been turned off due to the breaking news about an act of sexual assault occurring to one of the students attending the local high school....

...Mrs. Jeon would occasionally sniffle due to her runny nose, Mr. Jeon didn't speak a single word as he gripped tightly onto the steering wheel and glared at the road in front of him and Yugyeom was staring at his little brother who was lost in thought as he looked out the window of the car....

...When his parents came to pick up Jungkook, Mrs. Jeon broke down in tears and hugged her son tightly as she started interrogating him about what happened, Yugyeom hugged his brother as well then started shouting at him for being so stupid and scaring the whole family, while Mr. Jeon just murmured a quiet 'let's go' and pulled his son down the hallway....

...Jungkook didn't say anything though, he hasn't been able to ever since Jimin had woken up. All four of them could hear Taehyung and Jimin's crying from outside the hospital room. Taemin started crying as well so Jungkook had to hold him as he fought back his own tears....

...This wasn't supposed to happen, and nobody knew what to do now, nobody knew how to react, what to say, they were at a loss for words and they couldn't even look one another in the eye without guilt punching them in the face....

...Seokjin and Hoseok didn't dare to look up from the ground; they felt sick to their stomachs due to the overwhelming guilt twisting their insides around. Taemin was in grief, he couldn't hold his tears back when he heard Jimin's cries, Namjoon was in custody due to physical assault and Jungkook was still in a state of shock....

...A part of him has come to the realization that the plan crashed and burned in the exact way they were all dreading and praying it wouldn't. But the other half of him hasn't even processed yet that it has been four hours since the plan had been set in motion....

...The family finally made it back home. They got out of the car and made their way inside the house, Jungkook wanted nothing more but to go up into his room and fall asleep but his family wasn't allowing him to do so....

...''Sit down.'' Mr. Jeon ordered as the family walked into the living room, Jungkook obeyed and sat down on the edge of the sofa making Yugyeom join him. He watched his father run his hand through his graying hair and pull at the ends roughly as he sighed. ''What in the hell were you thinking?'' He didn't sound angry, his tone of voice was a mix of fear and exhaustion....

...''W-we just wanted to help.'' Jungkook murmured; he was holding back his tears the entire time he spoke. Yugyeom noticed his brother's discomfort and placed a hand on his back to calm him down....

...''You should've gone to the police, you should've told somebody.'' Mrs. Jeon spoke up as she wiped away at her puffy eyes, her voice was hoarse from all the crying and Jungkook couldn't help but think of Jimin's cries as he listened to her speak....

...''Who would've believed us? W-we didn't have any proof, for all we know the police would've just laughed in our face and told us to go away.''...

...''So instead you were going to film the teacher rape your friend?'' Mr. Jeon asked but instantly regretted doing so when he realized how insensitive he had sounded....

...''That wasn't the plan!'' Jungkook snapped back. ''W-we just needed proof, the plan was to run in the second it got too risky but the teacher locked him in a place we didn't expect so we weren't able to get to him fast enough...'' The longer he spoke the shakier his voice got. ''This wa-wasn't supposed to happen...''...

...''God, they better lock that bastard up for good.'' Mr. Jeon cursed as he pulled at his ends again. ''Has he done it to any other student as well?''...

...''I don't know... I-I hope not... ''...

...''Did he ever make either of you uncomfortable during lessons?'' Mrs. Jeon asked her sons....

...''Mom, the police already asked all those questions do I really have to repeat all of them.''...

...''Right, I'm sorry Kookie, we should stop, he's been through enough tonight.''...

...''Thank you... C-could I go out for a bit, to get some fresh air?'' By 'get some fresh air' he meant run into his boyfriend's arms and cry until he no longer had the energy to stay awake and pass out....

...''You're not going anywhere, you're grounded.'' Mr. Jeon replied....

...''What?''...

...''Jungkook I don't want you leaving the house at all. In the morning Yugyeom will drive you to school and when your classes end either Yugyeom or Yoongi or even myself if nobody else will be able to will drive you home. Tonight was a reality check; this world is a scary place and there's no way I'm risking something dangerous happening to either of you. Yugyeom we'll discuss a curfew for you as well.''...

...''What?'' The said boy spoke up with a raised eyebrow....

...''And check who they're talking to online, there's a lot of people who pretend to be someone they're not online.'' Mrs. Jeon added....

...''Good idea, give me your phones.'' And with that, the pair's eyes went wide in shock and their bodies froze in fear....

...''W-what?'' They stuttered out....

...''You heard me, I want to check who you two talk to.'' Jungkook started mentally cursing as he realized his family did not know about his relationship with Yoongi....

...''Why do you need to check my phone, I only text Taehyung, Jimin and Taemin.'' Jungkook tried his best to stay calm; he glanced over at his brother, hoping the raven had an idea as to how to save their asses....

...''Dad that's a bit too extreme, don't you think? We're not idiots we know not to talk to some weirdos.''...

...''Then you should have no problem showing me your phones, right.''...

...''My battery's dead, I need to charge it first.'' The purple haired boy lied....

...''Go get your charger then.'' A sigh escaped the youngest's lips as he stood up from the couch and made his way up the stairs....

...The second he was out of sight, he took out his phone and started deleting his apps. He deleted his Instagram and Snapchat due to the photos and conversations he had on those apps then quickly started deleting his messages; lastly, he opened up his camera roll....

...His most recent pictures consisted of him and Yoongi and nothing else. Him and Yoongi on a date, him and Yoongi making something to eat, him and Yoongi after sex, the list went on and on. Jungkook quickly selected all the photos and sent them to his boyfriend then deleted them all along with a few other photos he rather not explain to his father....

...Hyyyuuunnng <3:...

...[???]...

...Bunny<3:...

...[*Bunny<3 has changed the nickname to Yoongi hyung*]...

...[*Jungkook has removed the nickname Bunny<3*]...

...[Save them imma need them later also do not message me for the next hour dad is going thru my phone]...

...Yoongi hyung:...

...[Call me afterword.]...

...Jungkook didn't reply, just deleted the rest of the conversation. He finished his tasks by the time he made it up the stairs. He quickly grabbed his charger then rushed back to the living room....

...As he made it back into the living room, he saw his father sitting on the couch looking through Yugyeom's phone with a glare on his face. Yugyeom sent the younger a 'help me' look and Jungkook instantly cleared his throat to earn the man's attention....

...''What are you doing?'' He asked his father....

...''Losing faith in my parenting skills.'' Mr. Jeon replied as he handed his son his phone back. ''Yours better not be filled with the kind of conversations I just saw.''...

...Jungkook tried to figure out what his father meant by that, Yugyeom and his friends would always talk about parties and all that on snapchat out of the sole reason of nobody every finding those conversations, what else was his brother hiding that made Mr. Jeon's expression so bitter and disappointed....

...''Let me just charge it first...'' Jungkook murmured as he plugged his charger in then pretended to wait for his cellphone to turn on when in reality he turned it off himself....

...''Then I'll get dressed for work in the meanwhile.'' Mr. Jeon murmured as he left the living room....

...''What the hell did he see?'' Jungkook whispered as he rushed over to his brother. A nervous laugh escaped Yugyeom's lips as he slid his phone back into his pocket....

...''He found one of my booty calls, Jungkook if I don't make it back from work tonight know dad dumped my body in a ditch on the way to work.''...

...''One of your booty calls?'' Jungkook questioned....

...''Dad saw our nudes.'' Yugyeom explained causing Jungkook to cringe....

...''I didn't need to know that.'' He spoke as he shook his head....

...''Sorry...'' Yugyeom spoke as he placed his hand back on the younger's back. ''Kookie why didn't you tell me about this?'' He questioned in a hushed tone, before Jungkook could even come up with a sentence to reply to his brother with, somebody else spoke up first....

...''Yugyeom why aren't you dressed yet, we leave in ten minutes.'' Mr. Jeon spoke as he made his way back into the living room....

...''Then who's staying at home with Kookie?''...

...''Why would I need somebody to stay with me?'' Jungkook asked as his mother rushed into the living room as well....

...''Yugie's right, we need somebody to stay with him.'' Mrs. Jeon agreed, ignoring her son's question....

...''If you don't need me to help out tonight I can stay with him.'' Yugyeom suggested....

...''That would be a good idea.'' Mr. Jeon nodded along as he scrolled through Jungkook's phone....

...''But honey, there's so much paperwork due Friday we need all the help we can get.'' Mrs. Jeon tried to reason with her husband and that is when an idea struck the youngest of the four....

...''If you're that worried about leaving me alone for the night, what if I just ask Yoongi hyung if he can come over.'' Jungkook suggested to his family....

...''That's a good idea too, Yugyeom, ask Yoongi if he has the time.'' Mrs. Jeon agreed making Yugyeom take out his phone and text his best friend. Not even ten seconds after Yugyeom sent the text his phone already vibrated again....

...''He said he's on his way.'' Yugyeom spoke up. ''Which means he will probably be here in about ten minutes.''...

...''We'll just wait until he gets here.'' Mrs. Jeon spoke causing the youngest to sigh....

...''Mom, I can manage on my own for ten minutes, you can go I'll be fine.'' Jungkook spoke, he didn't want to sound rude but he didn't know how much longer he could stay calm around his family and the last thing he wanted was for them to see him breakdown....

...''He's right, we should get going.'' Yugyeom spoke up; sensing Jungkook wanted them to leave....

...''Kookie, are you sure you'll be okay?'' Mrs. Jeon asked as she pulled her son into a hug....

...''I'm sure.'' Jungkook whispered, his voice too shaky to speak in a normal volume....

...''Okay then, be good, get some rest, you don't have to go to school tomorrow if you don't feel like it. We won't be back for a while. Call if anything is wrong.''...

...''Okay.'' Jungkook nodded as he his mother pulled away from the hug....

...The trio took another five minutes to leave the house and when they did, Jungkook's expression dropped and he was once again left alone to repeat the vivid scenes in his head. His hands started to shake and it got harder to breath as the scene played out in his head again....

...He was standing in the hallway, the principle was yelling, Taemin was crying, Taehyung was throwing up, he heard the police sirens; somebody moved him out of the doorframe so that he was no longer able to look at Jimin....

...He couldn't get the image out of his head. An unconscious Jimin lying on his side in a fatal position, Taemin was putting his clothes back on as he choked on his sobs while Namjoon helped him. Mr. Ahn was passed out on the ground and beaten to a pulp, while Namjoon didn't even have a scratch on his face....

...He still couldn't remember how exactly he made it from the school to the hospital he just remembered holding Taehyung the entire ride because the paramedics didn't let him ride with Jimin....

...Suddenly the doorbell snapped him out of his thoughts....

...He pushed himself off the couch and made his way over to the front door, his head dizzy as he walked. The second he unlocked the door Yoongi opened it and rushed inside....

...''What the hell happened?! Why didn't you tell me what was going on?! Dammit Kook do you have any idea how scared I was!'' Yoongi shouted in panic, not ever realizing that tears were falling from the younger's eyes until a small whimper escaped Jungkook's lips. ''Shit... Bunny I'm so sorry.'' He quickly apologized as he rushed over to the younger and pulled him into a tight hug. Jungkook buried his head into the crook of the older's neck and started crying, unable to hold it back anymore. ''Shh, it's okay, I'm right here.'' Yoongi assured as he kissed the top of the younger's head....

...''I-I'm so-sorry for s-scaring you.'' Jungkook murmured making Yoongi squeeze him even tighter....

...''It's okay, I'm not mad. Don't worry about it, I'm not mad. I was just scared.''...

...''Ji-Jimin is in th-the hospital...''...

...''I know... Taemin told me everything.''...

...''I-I do-don't know... Wh-what to do, h-hyung... Ji-Jimin g-got-''...

...''Shh, bunny, calm down.''...

...''I-I ca-can't!'' Jungkook sobbed. ''I-I'm s-so scared... I-I... I can't stop th-thinking-''...

...''Shh... Just breathe deeply.'' Yoongi spoke in a soft tone as he ran his hand through Jungkook's hair. ''You have to breathe or else you'll start hyperventilating. Breathe bunny.'' Jungkook obeyed and forced himself to inhale sharply. ''Good, now let it out.''...

...Jungkook exhaled, then inhaled again until he was no longer shaking and his crying had dialed down a bit....

...''Let's go lie down, okay? You must be tired, let's go to bed.'' Yoongi spoke as he picked the younger up and carried him up the stairs. He gripped onto his tightly to make sure not to drop him and bared through the stairs....

...When the pair made it to the bedroom Yoongi closed the door with his foot then laid his boyfriend down on the bed. He kicked off his shoes, which he forgot to take off when he walked into the household then threw his jacket off and laid down next to the younger....

...Jungkook instantly cuddled into his side and buried his head into the crook of Yoongi's neck....

...''It'll be okay, just stay calm.'' He assured the younger as he hugged him tightly. ''You're not going to school tomorrow, right.'' He more confirmed than asked....

...''Mom said I don't have to, so yeah, I probably won't go.'' Jungkook murmured back as he looked up at the older....

...''Good, then I'll stop by before I go to class.'' Yoongi replied as he wiped the tears away from Jungkook's puffy eyes....

...''Are you ditching the first two periods again?''...

...''Why go to P.E. when we can have our own work out at home.'' Yoongi joked in attempt to make the younger chuckle. Jungkook just sent him a small smile and placed a kiss on his lips before snuggling his face back into the crook of the younger's neck....

...Yoongi continued stroking the younger's hair, every once in a while assuring him he's still with him all until Jungkook feel asleep. He stared down at his puffy cheeks as he held in his breath, trying his best not to start crying as well....

...It's amazing how fast the word gets around....

...A Thursday morning 9 AM, Yugyeom and Yoongi were making their way down the school hallway....

...''I forgot to thank you for last night.'' The raven spoke up....

...''Yug, you don't need to thank me, you know I'm always there if either of you need me.''...

...''Thanks anyway, and I'm sorry I made you stay away from Kookie, that was a ****-move.''...

...''I get it, I should've told you about that night.''...

...''And I shouldn't have got so mad, I mean we did worse things when we were his age, I was being a hypocrite.''...

...''Yug, it's fine.'' Yoongi assured. He didn't want to speak about this topic any longer. Mainly because he felt guilty about still lying to his best friend, but also because Yugyeom usually noticed pretty quickly that he was hiding something....

...''No, it's not because first I tell you to stay away from him and now I have to ask you to babysit him.'' The raven spoke with a chuckle....

...''What?'' The blonde chuckled as well....

...''Dad put Kookie on lockdown, which means he's not even allowed to walk home alone. If I won't be able to drive him home from school would you do it, please.''...

...''Why do you even ask? I already do that anyway.''...

...''I swear to God it's like you're more of a brother to him than I am.''...

...''Don't say that, I mean yes you were shit to him for a long long time but you got your act together, you're a pretty good brother to him now.''...

...''I let him drink and get high with us and don't say anything when he and Taehyung get up to shit in his room.''...

...''What kind of shit?'' Yoongi tried to hold back his jaelousy, but failed instantly....

...''Do you... Do you think Kookie might be gay... Or at least bisexual?'' Yugyeom whispered hesitantly....

...''What do you mean?'' Panic started to twist Yoongi's stomach up as he waited for the raven to explain why he thought such a thing about his younger brother....

...''Okay, don't tell him I know... but a wile back, Taehyung was staying with us for a bit because he got into a fight with his parents, and that night I let them get drunk because they were a wreck; I left them alone and went downstairs because I trusted them to not do anything stupid... And when I went back up a bit later to ask them if they were hungry, I swear I heard moaning coming from his room.'' Yoongi bit down on the inside of his cheek to keep himself from glaring. ''I mean I know Taehyung's gay and I have nothing against it, or them, if there even is a 'them', do you think he was just drunk or if he actually might be figuring some things out?''...

...''When was that?'' Yoongi tried to keep his voice his usual tone but it came out much lower than usual....

...''I don't know... I think it was the day you took him home during lunch because he was crying.''...

...''Oh...'' Yoongi murmured as he tried to remember what happened that day. That was the day he started realizing he had feelings for the purple haired boy, yet Jungkook was busy making out with Taehyung. ''I-I don't really, he told me he got drunk that night, didn't know about the other part though.''...

...''See what I mean, he tells you more then he tells me.''...

...He still doesn't seem to tell me enough. Yoongi spoke to himself....

...''Did he tell you anything last night about... You know?'' The raven asked; concern evident in his tone of voice....

...''Not really.''...

...''Was he okay?''...

...''He cried a lot, then fell asleep, then woke up because he was hungry so I made him something to eat, then he fell asleep again after he ate.''...

...''Damn... I don't even know what to say to him... How do you approach someone when shit like that went down?''...

...''I'll let you know when I figure it out.'' Yoongi replied with a sigh....

...''How are you doing?'' Yugyeom questioned with caution, he wasn't sure if it was smart to ask Yoongi that, not sure if he'd get mad or not....

...''I'm not the one you should be asking that question.'' Yoongi replied with a soft sigh....

...''Have you talked to Jimin yet?''...

...''I was planning on asking if I can come see him after school. Taemin said he's being let out of the hospital today so I doubt he'll have the time or nerve to have guests. I'll call him though.''...

...''Do we send him some flowers or something?'' The raven suggested....

...''I don't think that's a good idea, Jimin hates being pitied.''...

...''How do you not pity someone who went through something like... That.''...

...''I'll let you know that as well if I ever find out.''...

...''Do you think anybody knows?''...

...''Considering there were police, paramedics and the press here yesterday I'm pretty sure everyone knows about it.''...

...''I'm surprised school wasn't canceled today.''...

...''Well, what do you expect, they have to go right back to pretending none of this ever happened.''...

...''I hope nobody knows who it was...''...

...''You and me both.''...

...''Why does shit always happen to him?''...

...''I don't know... But it pisses me off that I wasn't there to help.''...

...''Yoongi, don't, it wasn't your fault back then and it wasn't your fault now, so don't even think about blaming yourself.''...

...''Sorry, you're right.'' The blonde sighed. ''I'm just pissed at that fucker.''...

...''I know.'' Yugyeom placed his hand on the blonde's shoulder and squeezed it for comfort. ''He'll get what he deserves.''...

...''He'll get maybe eight years in prison and that's it.'' Yoongi murmured as the pair walked into their class. They sat down in their seats but didn't speak afterword....

...When class was over Yugyeom, Jooheon and Yoongi made their way to the cafeteria. Nobody spoke the entire time, Yoongi could sense Jooheon's worried glance but ignored it. Instead he rather took out his phone and texted his boyfriend....

... ...

... ...

...''Was that Jimin?'' Yugyeom asked once he noticed the older was no longer texting....

...''No.'' The blonde shook his head in reply and quickly slid his phone back into his pocket....

...The trio finally got their lunch. They made their way through the cafeteria. Yoongi couldn't help but to glance over at the empty table across the cafeteria where a group with unnaturally dyed hair usually sat. It was quite depressing seeing the table completely empty. Usually there would be screaming and laughing coming from that table, the cafeteria felt so quiet without them and it broke Yoongi's heart....

...Once the trio made it to their table, the quiet chatter stopped and everyone looked up with expressions Yoongi found all too familiar. This was sophomore year all over again. Only this time Jimin wasn't there to receive the stares with Yoongi....

... ...

... ...

... ...

...A sigh escaped Jungkook's lips as he pressed his phone against his ear again. The phone rang four times, Jungkook was about to hang up, not wanting to hear the voicemail again when somebody picked up....

...''Tae?'' Jungkook called out, shocked that the gray haired boy actually answered....

...''Sorry Jungkook, it's me.''...

...Jin's voice came from the other side of the line....

...''Still better then voicemail.'' Jungkook spoke as he let out a sigh of relief. ''What's going on, where's Tae? How's Jimin? Are they home?''...

...''We just got him home; Jimin's grandmother didn't let Taehyung stay in the hospital room while they did a check up on him so we tried to take him home... It didn't go well.''...

...''What happened?''...

...''They both started screaming and crying, we had to pull them apart because they didn't want to understand that Jimin still had a few tests they had to do on him and he still hasn't been questioned by the police.''...

...''Where is he right now?''...

...''As weird as it sounds Hoseok and Namjoon are making him take a bath.''...

...''Why?''...

...''We're trying to calm him down, I think he's having separation anxiety.''...

...''How are they?''...

...''I don't even know.'' Jin sighed. ''Jimin's really shaken up, he refuses to be without Taehyung and the only word Tae still knows how to use is Jimin.''...

...''****...''...

...''What about you?''...

...''What about me?''...

...''How are you?''...

...''Compared to what you just told me about Tae and Jimin, I have nothing on them.''...

...''I'm serious, Jungkook. You have no idea how much I hate myself for the events that happened, please tell me if you're not okay.''...

...''Well I'm obviously not okay.'' The younger tried to hide his shaky voice with a chuckle but failed. ''I-I mean, who would be okay after something like that.''...

...''Do you need to talk about it?''...

...''What's there to talk about...''...

...''Right... I'd give Taehyung the phone but... Maybe later after he gets some sleep...''...

...''That's okay hyung, just keep me updated on how they're both doing.''...

...''I will, have you eaten yet?''...

...''I was about to order something.'' He lied just like he lied to Yoongi....

...''I can come over and cook something for you, or have Namjoon or Hoseok bring you some food.''...

...''No hyung, that's okay, go take care of Taehyung I'll be okay.''...

...''Are you sure?''...

...''I'm sure.''...

...''Okay, feel free to call me if you need anything and I mean anything at all.''...

...''Thank you, tell Tae I called.''...

...''I will, bye Jungkook.''...

...''Bye, hyung.'' And with that, the purple haired boy hung up the call and sighed. He scrolled through his contacts and tapped on another name then pressed the phone against his ear again....

...''Kookie? Everything okay?''...

...The voice finally spoke from the other side of the line after five rings....

...''H-hi, hyung. I'm just checking up on you.''...

...''Oh... You scared me, I thought something happened.''...

...Taemin's voice sounded rather tired, Jungkook probably woke him up....

...''Not that I know of... How are you?''...

...''Not sure yet, I just woke up, I'll have to get back to you on that when my brain starts processing things again.''...

...''Oh, sorry... I can call back later if you want to sleep.''...

...''No, no, it's okay. I slept enough already. How are you Kookie?''...

...''Not sure.''...

...''Do you have any news on the others?''...

...''Yeah, I called Tae but Jin hyung picked up the phone. He told me they had to drag Tae home, Jimin's still at the hospital.'' A sigh was heard from the other side of the line. ''Hyung?''...

...''Yeah?''...

...''Do you mind if I come over? I'm going crazy by myself.''...

...''Sure, could you bring some food on the way here.''...

...''Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes.''...

...''Call me when you're outside the house.''...

...Taemin hung up the call before Jungkook could even reply and the second he did his phone rang again making the purple haired boy groan in annoyance....

...''Yes?'' He answered his mother's call....

...''Kookie, why weren't you answering your calls it kept saying your number was unavailable, I was getting worried.''...

...''Sorry, I was on the phone with Jin hyung.''...

...''Oh, did you get any news on your friends?''...

...''Not really... I don't think it's a good idea to call them right now.'' Jungkook lied as he stood up from the couch and started making his way to his bedroom....

...''You're right, you'll hear for them soon, but for now maybe it's best they get a little space. How are you doing?''...

...''Normal...'' The purple haired boy lied....

...''Have you eaten anything?''...

...''Yeah, I just ate, I was actually about to go take a shower...''...

...''Oh, well I was just calling to check in and make sure that everything's okay, your dad and I won't be home until nine, will you and Yugyeom manage?''...

...''We usually do.''...

...''Okay, if you need anything you know I'm just a call away.''...

...''Okay, thanks mom.''...

...''Anything for my babies. I'll get back to work now.''...

...''Okay, bye mom.''...

...''Bye, Kookie, I love you.''...

...''I love you too.''...

...By the time the phone call finished Jungkook was already half dressed, he pulled on his jeans and threw a hoodie over his head then grabbed his wallet and made his way out the door, not caring in the slightest bit that he was grounded....

...He walked to the convenience store a few minutes away from his house to buy some snacks then caught the bus to Taemin's house. Around twenty minutes later, he was standing in front of the said boy's house, calling his number so that the boy would come and open the door....

...Taemin didn't answer his phone but opened the door for the younger. He was wrapped in a blanket his face barely showing, Jungkook stepped into the house and before he even took his shoes off he was already pulled into a tight hug....

...''My brain started processing things again and I've come to the realization that I feel very shitty.'' The blue haired boy murmured as Jungkook returned the hug....

...''You and me and everyone else as well.'' Jungkook murmured back....

...''Why did we let him go through with this?''...

...''I-I don't know...''...

...''He's been through so much crap in his life, why him, why does he keep on being the victim.''...

...''I don't know hyung.''...

...''He should've told me earlier, the second that disgusting piece of shit first laid a hand on him. **** I wanna beat the shit out of him.'' Taemin spoke as he pulled away from the hug....

...''I wanna chop off his ****.'' Jungkook murmured as he followed the older into the living room....

...''I'd gladly hold him down for you.'' Taemin replied as the pair sat down on the couch....

...''Hyung...''...

...''Yeah?''...

...''I don't know what to do now.''...

...''What do you mean?''...

...''I keep trying to call Tae, but what will I say when he picks up? What do I do? How do I help? How the hell do you make this situation better?''...

...''Did Yoongi ever tell you how he and Jimin met?''...

...''I'd rather avoid the topic of Jimin in front of him for a while, I don't want to make him sad.''...

...''Well, ask him when you get the chance.''...

...''What does this have to do with my question.''...

...''You'll see... Now give me the food I haven't eaten in two days my hands are starting to shake.''...

...As Jungkook hung up the call a loud sigh escaped Jin's lips. He placed Taehyung's phone onto the coffee table then made his way back into the bathroom....

...Taehyung was sitting in the bath, his arms wrapped around his legs; he looked as if he was in some sort of a trance, his tired eyes glued to the wall opposite of him, he was shaking, but at least he was no longer mumbling Jimin's name....

...''Did he calm down?'' Jin asked Hoseok who was sitting on the toilet and staring at Taehyung with a frown....

...''I wouldn't use 'calm down' to describe his situation, but yeah, I guess he a bit more stable.'' Hoseok replied, frowning at the boy in front of him....

...''What did you do?''...

...''Nothing, I just washed his hair, I asked him if he had enough of the water and if he wanted to get out but he shook his head. Who called?''...

...''Jungkook.''...

...''How is he?''...

...''Not okay, but he said he'll be alright.'' Hoseok only nodded in reply. ''We need to put him to bed before dad gets here.'' Jin whispered, even though Taehyung could still hear them....

...''Why is he coming over?''...

...''He heard what happened, both mom and him are on their way and mom is freaking out. The last thing Tae needs right now is someone yelling at him about what just happened.'' Jin explained as he walked over to the bath and crouched down next to his little brother. ''Hey, Tae?'' He called out in a soft tone as gently pressed his hand on the younger's wet back....

...''Hm?'' The gray haired boy murmured, his gaze was still fixated on the wall but Jin could tell his mind was present....

...''Wanna get out of there? Your fingers are getting all wrinkly.'' The younger just nodded his head....

...Hoseok stood up and grabbed a towel then helped Jin pull Taehyung out of the bath and onto his feet. They wrapped him into the towel then Jin picked him up and threw him over his shoulder....

...''I'll go make something to eat you go get him dressed.''...

...''Where's Namjoon?''...

...''He took a shower.'' Hoseok explained....

...Jin only nodded his head then carried his brother into his bedroom. He sat him down on the bed then started looking through his closet to try to find some clothes for the younger....

...''Where's Jimin?'' Taehyung murmured....

...''Jimin's still at the hospital Tae, remember, the doctors said they had to take a few tests to make sure he's healthy. You'll see him again soon, I promise.''...

...''Really?''...

...''Yes, now let's get you dressed, you need to eat something then sleep, okay?''...

...''Okay.'' The younger murmured as he allowed Jin to dress him. Soon after, Hoseok walked into the bedroom with a plate of food, which they had to feed to Taehyung. Once Taehyung ate, the pair put him to bed then left the room to let him sleep....

...''I feel more and more like a dad everyday with that kid.'' Hoseok murmured as the pair made their way to the kitchen....

...''Do you think he's just tired?'' Jin asked, concerned about his brother's behavior....

...''What do you mean?''...

...''I mean like the way he's acting. Do you think this is just right now because of the shock...? Or is this something we should be worried about?''...

...''Don't start panicking yet. Yesterday was a day that will cause me nightmares for the rest of my life and I barely know Jimin. We're all gonna need a lot of time to forget about this, well forget as much as we can. For now I'd think something was wrong if he didn't act this way, so let's give him some time to calm down, then we'll see where to go from there.''...

...''Yeah, okay.''...

...''We'd make good parents.'' Hoseok tried to lighten the mood by raising his hand for a high five. Jin let out a small chuckle and high-fived the older....

...''Maybe the three incapable dads are getting slightly more capable.''...

...''Nah, we're still shit, but hey at least they're all alive.'' Hoseok joked....

...''Don't jinx our luck Hoseok, I'll never be able to look at myself the same after this.''...

...''You know I don't handle these kinds of things well, I need to joke or else I'll start overthinking and feel awful and end up either crying or drinking then crying.''...

...''Yeah, I know... Just try to control yourself when they get here.''...

...''When are your parents getting here?''...

...''Soon.'' As Jin replied to Hoseok, the bathroom door closed shut and a tired Namjoon made his way down the hall, but he didn't say anything, just went into his bedroom and shut the door. ''Has he said anything since you picked him up?''...

...''Not really.'' Hoseok shook his head. ''Should we talk to him?''...

...''Not yet. Let him get some sleep first, he probably didn't sleep all night.''...

...''Him and I both.'' Hoseok sighed. ''I need alcohol.''...

...''We can do that when mom and dad leave, hold on just a bit, okay?''...

...''Got it...'' Hoseok nodded his head then made his way behind the counter. He grabbed three plates from the cupboard and place some of the scrambled eggs he made earlier on each of them. ''Eat.'' He placed two plates on the counter and picked the third one up and made his way out of the kitchen. ''He needs to eat something...'' Jin heard him murmur under his breath as he made his way over to Namjoon's bedroom....

...''Okay, you've been quiet since lunch, talk to me.'' Yugyeom spoke as he and his best friend made their way down the school hallway....

...''Huh?'' Yoongi pretended to be oblivious....

...''You've been quiet all day, and not your usual kind of quiet, this is your annoyed kind of quiet.''...

...''My annoyed kind of quiet?'' Yoongi asked with a fake chuckle. ''Since when am I quiet when I'm annoyed.''...

...''Since forever.''...

...''And why is it that you think I'm annoyed?''...

...''Because they were talking about Jimin.'' Yugyeom spoke causing the older to glare. ''Are we really going to pretend like those weird stares at you didn't happen? I know you know they know... damn that was a mouthful.''...

...''They know about what?'' Yoongi continued to play dumb....

...''Seriously?'' Yugyeom spoke with an eye roll. ''They know about Jimin and they're scared to talk about it in front of you because they don't know how you'll react.''...

...''Seriously...'' Yoongi murmured with a sigh and an eye roll....

...''Yoongi, you don't have to hide how you feel, I'm your best friend you can talk to me.''...

...''Okay, so let's say that this is true, why am I supposed to talk to you about it?''...

...''Because I know it hurts your feelings.'' That sentence caused the blonde to stop in his tracks. ''Yoongi, I know you hate it when I bring this up, but, I get it, I know how you feel about him. You don't need to hide it from me.''...

...''What are you on about?''...

...''You know exactly what I'm on about.''...

...''Fine, you want me to talk about it?''...

...''I don't want you to keep it all inside and beat yourself up like you always do.''...

...''Okay, fine, I'll talk about it. I sat down, ate my lunch in peace at a table which was for once quiet and then left when I finished with my lunch. For the rest of the day, I was quiet because a lot of crap has went down and I have to wrap my mind around it, and now you're here telling me I should talk it out. But I can't because I have no idea what to do or how to react and I'm actually really scared to talk to Jimin or Taehyung or Taemin or even Jungkook, because I have no idea what to say. I don't know how to comfort any of them, because I don't even know what to tell myself and it breaks my heart that Jimin has to go through this shit again and I don't think I can look him in the eye without breaking down, which by the way, will make him mad because then I'll be pitying him and he hates being pitied and I don't want him to be mad I just want him to be happy because he doesn't deserve this kind of crap, is that good enough of a talk for you.''...

...''Yoongi... What do you mean 'again'?'' Yoongi's jaw dropped when he realized the words he let out of his mouth. Before Yugyeom could say anything else, the blonde spun around and started rushing away....

...''I'm going home, I'll see you tomorrow.'' He murmured to the raven and rushed away, leaving Yugyeom alone in the hallway, trying to figure out what Yoongi meant with what he said....

...He didn't go home, instead he went to get some take out then drove to his boyfriend's house; he promised he was going to visit after school anyway. He didn't bother ringing the bell and just took the key from underneath the welcoming matt then stepped into the house....

...''Bun!'' He called out as he kicked off his shoes. ''Bun, it's me!'' Yoongi called out again as he made his way into the house....

...He walked into the living room to see a giant pile of blankets on the couch, signaling Jungkook's been here. He made his way into the kitchen and placed the food onto the counter then rushed upstairs hoping his boyfriend was just taking a shower and didn't hear him....

...He looked at his room, the bathroom, Yugyeom's room and anywhere else he could think of, but the house was empty....

...''Jungkook!'' He called out one last time before he took out his phone and tried calling the younger. His call went directly to voicemail, sending Yoongi into panic mode. ''****, ****, ****, ****, ****, where are you?'' The blonde murmured to himself as he rushed around the house trying to find a place where he didn't look....

...He tried to think of all the possible situations that could have happened but he always ended up thinking Jungkook was lying somewhere in a ditch dead or still dying. He tried calling three more times; his call went straight to voicemail every time....

...''****.'' The blonde murmured as he called a different number....

...''Yoongi, you okay?''...

...Yugyeom answered after the first ring....

...''No, I'm at your house cause I came to check up on Kookie but he's not here and he's not answering his phone and I don't know what to do or who to call.'' Yoongi explained as he tried his best to stay calm even though he sounded like he was on the verge of tears....

...''****, are you serious?! O-okay don't go anywhere I'll be home in ten minutes try calling him again in the meanwhile or ask his friend if they heard from him.''...

...Yugyeom spoke, the same amount of panic evident in his tone of voice....

...''O-okay, hurry.'' Yoongi replied as he hung up the call then tried to call Jungkook again. The call went straight to voicemail causing Yoongi to shout as he threw his phone onto the couch. He knew he was over-thinking, but due to the events that happened the other night he couldn't stop his thoughts from coming up with the worst kinds of case scenarios about where his boyfriend could be right now....

...''Hey, what time is it?'' Taemin asked the younger....

...''Let me check...'' Jungkook murmured as he took out his phone to check the time, he tried to turn on his phone but his battery was dead. ''Shit, my phone died.'' Jungkook spoke with a groan making Taemin reach for his phone, which was on the coffee table, and look at the time....

...''It's almost three.'' Taemin spoke up....

...''Already?!'' Jungkook shot up from the couch in panic. ''I need to go.''...

...''What, why?''...

...''I'm not supposed to be leaving the house, I'm grounded.''...

...''So? Aren't you home alone?''...

...''Yoongi said he'll come see me after school, I didn't tell him I'll be leaving the house.''...

...''Oh... Shit... Want me to drive you home?''...

...''Please.'' Jungkook instantly nodded his head....

...''Alright, let's go.'' Taemin spoke as he stood up from the couch still wrapped in his blanket. The pair rushed over to the entrance room and put their shoes on then rushed outside to get to Taemin's car....

...''Are you driving with that?'' Jungkook asked as he noticed the older getting into the car with the blanket still wrapped around him....

...''Yes, yes I am.'' The older replied casually as he got in and put his seatbelt on. Jungkook decided not to question it and quickly got into the car so that the older could drive him back home before Yoongi got to his house and freaked out because he wasn't home....

...The entire ride home Taemin was driving slightly above the speed limit but Jungkook didn't care, he really needed to get home fast. Once the pair finally pulled up at his house, Jungkook noticed both his boyfriend's and his brother's cars and he knew he was in trouble....

...''Well good luck in there...'' Taemin spoke up once he noticed the two cars parked in front of his house. ''Text about how it went, okay.''...

...''Okay, and you keep me updated if you hear from anyone.''...

...''You too.'' Taemin spoke as he pulled the younger into a hug. ''Be safe, Kookie.''...

...''You too, hyung.'' Jungkook murmured as he hugged the older back....

...Once Jungkook made it out of the car, he sprinted inside the house to find his boyfriend and his brother standing in the hall....

...''Oh thank God you're alive.''...

...''Where the **** were you!?'' He heard the pair shout at the same time....
