...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.''...
