VxBTS-Voices

Part 26

Sad chapter guys. Also trigger warning
-
It wouldn't stop, they wouldn't stop. Stop, please just stop.

Taehyung stared blankly at the wall, knees drawn into his chest. His head hurt, the voices wouldn't stop. His hands came to clutch at his hair, and his blank stare broke into a desperate cry, eyes watering and hands shaking.

His scalp burned from where he was tugging at the strands of caramel colored hair. His chest ached, the shallowness of his breathing only serving to worsen the tight feeling in his ribs. His arms itched, and the itch slowly turned to an unbearable ache, a throbbing that only ceased when he banged his fists against the bed in agony.

He felt like he was going to throw up. He heaved, drawing in greater breaths now, stumbling off of his bed and tripping until he was able to steady himself on the gold doorknob leading to the bathroom.

-k so there's kind of vomit at a few points from here on so if ur uncomfy with dat then...ig ur outta luck idk what to tell u lol

He fell in front of the toilet, arms clutching at the cool porcelain desperately. He heaved once more, crying even as nothing happened.

He could feel it. The hands...they were still grabbing into his skin, leaving marks deeper than visible, marks that weren't purely physical.

Why couldn't they leave him alone? God, the fucking voices. They were so loud, reminding him of his worthlessness, reminding him of what he never wished to speak of again.

"Shut....up." He breathed, face screwed up in agony.

The bathroom door creaked, and Taehyung couldn't muster the energy to move back in fear, even as the faces of the people who ruined his life flashed, covering whoever was really there.

His legs kicked weakly as he lunged back over the toilet, emptying the contents of his stomach.

"Taehyung...oh my god."

He collapsed against the floor, only weakly protesting when arms caged him, lifting him with ease.

Tears flowed freely, loud sobs escaping no matter how hard he tried to keep quiet. Shut up, stupid bitch. Laughing, the voice was laughing.

He clawed at the arms, managing to draw a little blood, but the arms didn't falter.

"I don't understand-"

"Put him down and back away, don't touch him."

The arms left him, he was left on the floor of whatever room he was in. He couldn't tell, the colors were bleeding together, everything was fuzzy due to tears. His hands flew back to his head, clutching and pulling and trying to get those damn voices out.

"H-W-"

"Talk to him, please fucking say something."

Someone crouched in front of him, and he scrambled back, arms flying to his face.

"Taehyung. Taehyung, look at me. Taehyung, it's Jimin, look up. Please."

His shoulders shook, sobs overpowering his body. Jimin's voice mocked him I left you for this exact reason, a pathetic baby. That's all you are.

"Baby, hey." The body came closer, though there was still a significant amount of distance between them. "It's Jimin, I'm not going to hurt you, please listen to me."

He flinched when a hand came towards him, curling into a ball.

"No no no, Taehyung please. Open your eyes my love, please."

He peered one eye open, vision slightly clearing as his tears came to a stop slowly. He hiccuped and sniffled, still terrified.

"It's Jimin. I-Bogum I don't know what to do?"

"Keep talking to him, he's stopped crying!"

"Taehyung, focus on me. I'm right here baby, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

Taehyung drowsily laid his head on the covers as he realized his bed was right next to him. He ignored the voice that became panicked as he nodded off, sleep overcoming him.

Jimin gently placed him on the bed, backing away as soon as he was safely tucked under the covers.

Bogum laid a comforting hand on his shoulder, leading him out of Taehyung's bedroom, down the stairs, and back into the kitchen.

"I-"

Jimin was speechless, resting his head in his hands.

"Jimin, you got him to stop crying. Before, when that happened, I couldn't do anything. I just had to wait until he passed out or realized he was safe."

"What-what was that?"

"That's the result of you guys and Sungho. When he wakes up, I hope you'll still be here. For now, I have a meeting to go to."

He didn't really have a meeting, but Bogum knew (hoped) that Jimin would stay. He had no idea why he was suddenly putting faith in one of the people who's voices became the soundtrack to Taehyung's nightmares, but he was. And he had a feeling it was a good decision. So now, he was leaving Taehyung in the care of Jimin, while he went out for a very very late dinner.

Jimin merely raised a hand when Bogum left, slightly waving, mostly confused.

Jimin toyed with the idea of calling Yoongi and asking what he knew, but tossed it quicker than it came. For one, Jimin wasn't exactly fond of his Hyung at the moment, Yoongi not having contacted Taehyung once since he was made aware. And once again, it wasn't his business until Taehyung decided to tell him.

He sighed, leaving the kitchen to make himself at home in the living room. He turned on the TV, though he didn't even process what show was in. He replayed the previous...situation? in his head, heart breaking when he remembered how he had found Taehyung.

Suddenly antsy, Jimin jumped up from the couch and made his way back to Taehyung's room, checking the clock on the way there. 11:23pm. He had sat on the couch for less than 20 minutes.

The door made little noise, thankfully, and Jimin peered around the door.

He sighed in relief, seeing Taehyung fast asleep, arms curled around a pillow, one that Jimin had gifted him a very long time ago. It was small, yellow. Shaped like a puppy almost.

He snuck in, taking a seat in the chair Taehyung had tucked in the very corner of his room.

Jimin studied Taehyung's features, from the slight pout of his lips to his furrowed eyebrows. Not a very peaceful sleep, Jimin assumed.

He was taken aback when Taehyung groaned, one hand coming to rub at his temple. "Holy fuck..."

One brown eye opened, instantly spotting Jimin.

"Were you watching me sleep?"
