A/N: This fic contains mention of abuse, beating, blood and death, if you are uncomfortable with any of these plz read at your own risk. English isn't my first language so there are lots of grammatical mistakes, also this fic is not beta-read. I don't owe the characters but the plot is my own imagination so any resemblance with any other fic is purely coincidental.

Taehyung noticed those bruises on Jimin's arm. They were at their usual spot where they hung out after school or sometimes secretly in the middle of the night, right now it was 3 pm and they decided to spend a little time together (even though they were joined to each other's hip during the school hours but still) because Taehyung had a family dinner tonight so they wouldn't be able to meet tonight, they were sitting under the tree eating their favourite DUMPLINGS under the tree when Taehyung decided to run away with the last dumpling which they had decided to share, but it was Taehyung who loved teasing Jimin, so here they were Jimin chasing Taehyung to get that dumpling back. Now that Jimin had already caught him, Taehyung took advantage of his height and held the dumpling higher in the air, Jimin huffed and jumped up to reach the dumpling but as he put his arms in the air, his sleeves slipped a bit and Taehyung caught sight of purplish-blue bruises on Jimin's arm, Taehyung's eyes went wide and he quickly held Jimin's arm and rolled up his sleeves to get a better look at his arms, Jimin stood there shocked for a few seconds before he suddenly yanked back his arm and rolled down his sleeves, now he was standing there with his head down and Taehyung was looking at him with a shocked and worried expression. "Chim, what happened to your arm?"  "Nothing, TaeTae,"  Jimin said while looking everywhere but at Taehyung, he knew if he looked at those wide eyes he would end up saying everything so he did his best to avoid looking at Taehyung's eyes. "Well that's bullshit, what do you mean by nothing, huh? Tell me where did you get these bruises from, who did this to you?" "Noone Tae let's just forget about it, Yeah?" "No no, there's no way in the hell I'm letting this go, plz Jimine I'm worried for you, you have started keeping secrets from me and now you won't tell me who did this to you, don't you trust me anymore?" "That's not true Tae, I do trust you, I trust you more than I trust myself so plz don't say such things, it's just you who thinks like this, I'm not keeping any secrets Tae and this I just fell off from the stairs yesterday so I got a little hurt, see it doesn't even hurt, I'm totally fine Tae so plz stop being worried for me, I hate seeing the frown on your handsome face, what if you get wrinkles on your forehead because of frowning too much, huh? You'll look ugly" Jimin joked to make the atmosphere lighter, he knew that Taehyung would stop asking him questions because Taehyung knew how much Jimin hates arguing and confronting but deep inside a little part of him also wanted Taehyung to be stubborn and pry information out of Jimin so that Jimin would at least have someone who knows what he's going through in his life but he was a coward he was scared of what will happen if anyone finds out the truth about his foster family, he didn't want to lose the only family he had in this world even though they were abusive and hurt him but he didn't want to lose them too, he had lost his parents when he was 4 and he had waited so long for someone to call mom or dad. He loved his foster family too much he knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help it, Ok maybe he was an idiot. Taehyung looked at Jimin with an unreadable expression but didn't argue with him but he didn't believe that lame excuse, he knew someone did this to Jimin and that he was hiding something but he decided not to push it any further but now he was going to keep an eye on Jimin to find out the truth.

 Both of them met in middle school, Jimin was a shy kid who lived in an orphan house and was bullied because of it, Taehyung who was a new student instantly found that small shy boy with round glasses in the back of the class interesting and went to sit with him, in the start Jimin was the one who'd just listen to whatever nonsense Taehyung blabbered silently but slowly he started talking too, as a result, both of them became best friends in a month, Taehyung used to protect Jimin from all the bullies and called himself Jimin's Guardian angel. They graduated middle school together and then went to the same high school, during their sophomore year, a family decide to foster Jimin and they took him in. In the start, Jimin was so happy to have someone he could say Mom or Dad, but a few months after, his eyes start to lose their usual shine and he always looked sad and scared. Taehyung asked him so many times about it but he always denied it. Taehyung stopped trying to find the reason instead he started trying to make Jimin happy. Taehyung would make silly jokes or comments or would do weird things just to make Jimin laugh and to make him smile that beautiful eye smile. They were now in Senior year of high school and were planning on going to the same college so they won't have to be away from each other.
