Knock Knock [ SIN AU ]

Fight or Flight

Yoongi knocked on the door gently, peeking in to check.

Hoseok was cocooned in a blanket like a burrito, on his elbows and knees. His covered butt was the only thing visible, and even Yoongi had to take his time to figure out what the lump of cloth was in the middle of the nest.

"Hoseok-ah?" he called out, gentle and worried.

The lump moved, wiggling a bit, and then a head popped out of the pillows.

Hoseok had the blanket over his head, turning to look at his pack alpha over his shoulders.

"Hyung..."

The younger alpha was shaking, looking fearful and worried, his hands clutching the edges of the blanket close to him.

Yoongi stepped in, deeming it was okay and closed the door, locking it.

"Hobah... how are you doing?"

Hoseok shook his head, his lips forming his famous pout as his eyes watered.

"I can't hyung... I can't do this alone..."

His voice was shaky and raspy, as if he had cried and cried and had not drunk a single drop of water.

Yoongi took calming breaths, despite the heady scent of the young alpha wafting around. The windows should be opened, but Hoseok had been too freaked out about the problem that he had shut everything, letting the air purifier do its job not so successfully.

"I can't hyung..."

"Hoseok-ah... Calm down..."

Hoseok clutched the blanket tighter, shuffling around looking scared and tired.

"I want... Joonie... Where's my Joonie? I-" he hiccupped, "Why did he have to leave m-me?"

Yoongi took a step forward, being slow and careful to not frighten the younger. "He's on his way, Seokseok... So please... Just calm down, okay?"

The younger whined and shook his head like a child, hunching in his nest. His scent got a bit stronger, of a needy and worried alpha. Yoongi wanted to help him, even his alpha wolf was wanting to help his packmate, but Hoseok looked too freaked out and he doesn't want to scare him even more.

"I miss him... He would take care of me..."

Yoongi nodded, showing that he agrees.

"I know he will," he says, stepping forward again, trying to gauge the other's reaction.

"Hyung..."

It didn't sound like a warning, but the pitched voice did make Yoongi pause.

"Alright," he says, his hands up in surrender, "Shall I call Jin-hyung in here to help you?"
