12.

He takes the corner too fast and nearly falls flat on his face. But he rights himself to find all occupants in Yoongi's office staring at him. Hoseok, who had been the one to message him, stands beside the window, lips pulled down in a grimace. Yoongi is gathered around the third person of the room, who is sitting atop Yoongi's table.

Jin hyung is hurt.

Jungkook had been with Jimin and Taehyung when he had gotten the message. He had run back as fast as his legs could carry him.

Jin is sitting on the table looking surprised but whole. He looks okay except-

Jungkook steps closer. Jin straightens. Jungkook steps in front of him.

The right side of Jin's face is bruised, dark red welt in the shape of a handprint. The skin atop his cheek is broken as though something hard had connected with it.

Jungkook can barely draw in a breath.

'Who?'
Jungkook manages

'Who hurt you?'

Jin sighs.

'I'm fine, JK'

Jungkook brushes careful fingers over the bruised skin.

'Tell me'

Jin catches Jungkook's hand and draws it away from his face.

'It's no one you can touch, kid. So, calm the fuck down'
Yoongi commands.

'Don't tell me what to do!'
He snaps

'You think I'm going to stay still when Jin hyung is hurt?'

Yoongi takes a step and Jin steps between them, facing Jungkook.

'It was my father'
Jin tells him calmly.

'JK, don't get upset. It'll heal in a few days'

The way Jin speaks, as though he is used to it.

' He's hurt you before?'
He asks in a whisper.

Jin pales.

'Drop it, kid'
He hears Yoongi growl from behind him.

Jungkook turns on him.
'You just let it happen? Let Jin hyung get hurt?'

Yoongi's face goes slack with surprise before anger flares in his eyes.

'You little shit-'

Hoseok grabs Yoongi and pulls him away.

'Come on, Yoongi'
Hoseok says, long arms wrapped around Yoongi's middle

'Let's get some air'

'Fuck!'
Yoongi swears before he lets Hoseok pull him out of the room.

'Don't talk to Yoongi like that'
Jin tells him

'He hasn't done anything because I asked him not to'

Jungkook looks at Jin, but Jin is looking away from him.

'Why?'

'Because he's allowed to hurt me. I'm his son. He is allowed to make me into what he wants'
Jin says softly.

'Hyung!'
He cries

'That's not true! No one is allowed to hurt you! You can't just-'
He struggles to find the words amidst the fury and despair he feels at Jin's calm acceptance of his fate.

Jin turns to him, there is a small smile on his face.

'I can endure this, Jungkook. I know it's worth it'

Jungkook shakes his head.

'Nothing is worth you getting hurt, hyung'

Jin's smile widens.

'Somethings are, Jungkook'
Jin tells him

'You are'

He cannot help the choked cry that escapes him.

Jin draws him in and folds around him.

'I'm not giving you up'
