tw for abuse, blood, you know the drill :)

"namjoon, baby, i love you, but if you get in the way of going over to yoongi's house i will punch you."

after yoongi and jimin made up, jimin told jin and namjoon about the situation. he told them to keep jungkook company, who was still at yoongi's house. yoongi and hoseok stayed back to keep jimin company, and God knows where taehyung is.

"i-i only mean to slow down a bit, we're gonna crash into something." instead, jin stopped the car immediately and remembered he forgot his phone. he leaned back into the chair with a sigh. "i forgot my phone, namjoon you drive and i'll walk, it's not that far anyway." before he could protest, seokjin already got out.

"i'm not the best in drivin-" it was already too late, so namjoon changed seats, and with a heavy heart started the car. he barely passed his driving test a while ago so he wasn't exactly confident. it took around 7 minutes to get to yoongi's house, but he accidentally made some wrong turns so it took longer than expected. although it was worth it to namjoon when he finally got to see jungkook smile at his presence.

jin quickly retrieved his phone and now was on the way to yoongi's house. the sky only held a few clouds yet tiny droplets pattered on the sidewalk ever so gently. seokjin looked around, no one seemed to notice the slight rain. he shrugged it off and focused on finding the house; until he heard a bang.

the bang came from the house at his right, it was painted with a beautiful peach color, but the sounds inside weren't that pretty. it sounded like a broken melody, objects smashing left and right; yelling erupting from the building.

jin couldn't just stand around and watch, so he gathered up his courage and knocked on the door. the screaming and smashing ceased, and in replace were heavy footsteps getting louder and louder until someone opened the door. the man at the door reeked of alcohol and he could barely stand. his forehead was bleeding as well. suddenly jin wanted to leave.

"hi, i heard some noises and i wanted to know if everything was alright?" he mumbled a few words before screaming, "fuck off little shit." and boy did jin not like that. he was about to storm off when he caught sight of a boy inside the house, bruised and bloody on the floor.

taehyung.

seokjin couldn't stop himself from pushing the man at the doorway out of the way and bustling into the house. it was clear what happened, a fight broke between the two, or perhaps taehyung wasn't fighting at all. as he got closer and closer, he noticed taehyung was crying. not even the man could stop jin when he grabbed ahold of taehyung's hand and got him out of there.

it was late, maybe around 11 pm. jin found a deserted place called rocky road and headed straight for it. taehyung didn't even know they were at rocky road until he looked up. trouble always appeared at this place, didn't it?

"taehyung, what happened back there? are you alright?" jin always kept a medkit with him, so he took it out & put it on the ground. the two sat down on the cold stone ground; no one was around. taehyung said nothing as he started treating his wounds. jin noticed the slight bruising from a few days ago but didn't question it. "your dad is abusive huh?" seokjin didn't even care about what happened with jungkook and all, he saw him crying and bruised and that's what he focused on.

he finally nodded before breaking down again. jin rubbed his thumb on taehyung's knee for comfort as it was one of the only places where it wasn't bruised. he kept on patching him up in silence, occasionally whispering "it's okay" to the broken boy.

even when he was done patching him up, jin's thumb didn't leave taehyung's knee. "we can report this if you'd like, you don't deserve this." he shook his head, and when he finally spoke, his voice was so so hoarse.

"he'll find me or my mom will do something, i can't. even if i did i wouldn't have a place to go, i'd be homeless." taehyung bit his lip and gripped his shorts, both painted in dried blood. well until seokjin wiped the blood away.

"you can come with us, you'll be safe." taehyung looked up at him with hopeful eyes, but before he could respond, seokjin's phone rang. he picked it up and put it on speaker for taehyung to hear. the caller id was namjoon.

"hey love, you haven't arrived, everything ok?" his laugh burst through the call afterward, followed by jungkook's laugh. "sorry, he's tickling me, go on." taehyung widened his eyes at jungkook's laugh and almost grabbed the phone. he missed his pretty boy. he was glad he was happy.

jin looked up at tae and whispered if he could tell them he was with him. taehyung agreed. "me and taehyung are together, mind if he comes over so we can talk it out?" silence emitted from the other side, both taehyung and jin knew they were thinking about it.

"you deserve to hear his side of the story jungkook, come on, please?" jin urged on. jungkook didn't want to meet taehyung yet, but namjoon insisted. joon knew his boyfriend and if he wanted to come over with taehyung then he should come over.

"jungkook agreed, come over immediately." namjoon said before the call was cut.
