"Your hands" Jungkook commanded as he sat on the floor in front of the elder.
"Hey baby"
"Hmm" Jungkook chimed as he worked on the elders hands, cleaning them fully.
"Do you think my family are proud of me? I make mistakes all the time, they can't be proud of me can they?"
Jungkook looked up and sighed.

"Of course they are proud. Why wouldn't they be? You angel, are an angel and I love you. I love you for you and they love you for you. They'll always have your back angel. We all make mistakes, but what makes one stronger is that they can learn from them and become stronger from their weakness"

Taehyung nodded slowly still feeling unsure but the reassurance the younger gave was what he needed the most. Once Jungkook had wrapped up his hands he stood up and
walked to a draw to grab something before they went to bed.

Jungkook was busy cleaning up the first aid kit supplies from the floor so he didn't leave a mess which could cause one of them to fall straight on their asses. He was to indulged to even noticed where Taehyung was and what he was doing.

Taehyung went to a draw to grab something but found a USB stick poking through.
"Hey Koo" Taehyung frowned keeping his back facing Jungkook for now.
"Hmm" Jungkook hummed absentmindedly as he walked to the bed and laid down getting comfortable.
"what's this?" Taehyung questioned as he turned around to face Jungkook showing the black USB stick.
Jungkook looked up not really knowing what Taehyung was going to be asking about.

But once he saw the item in his boyfriends hands, his heart plummeted to the floor. He gulped nervously and shuffled on the bed anxiously. Silence filled the room, Taehyung not knowing what was making Jungkook so anxious. And well Jungkook was being eaten alive by his own mind.

Jungkook nibbled on his lip before looking up and looking at Taehyung straight in the eye.
"Something which the police want as evidence for court" Jungkook mumbled nervously. "I just haven't brought myself to give it to them yet" he fiddled with his fingers, fear clouding his brain.
"Why do they want it for evidence? what's on it?" Taehyung frowned holding the USB tighter.
"Me...I'm on it. Unconscious. Being raped"
Jungkook said it with no emotion in his voice. He didn't know how else to put it, so the blunt, truthful words followed one after the other. Maybe it wasn't the best way to approach it but he wasn't going to lie.

Taehyung's eyes widened in shock. How did he just say that so emotionlessly. He knew that deep down his heart was breaking but for those words to fall out of his mouth so effortlessly yet sounding like knives were cutting through every letter he spoke.
"O-oh"
"Can you do me a favour?" Jungkook asked looking at the elder.
"Anything koo you know I'd do anything for you"
"Watch it with me. Please. I don't want you to see this in the courtroom without being prepared. I need to let someone else see it before the court room sees it. Please"

Taehyung gulped nervously. He nodded nevertheless. He really didn't want to have to watch the love of his life be put through so much pain and trauma. He really didn't want to witness the disgusting things done to Jungkook. But if that was what he wanted then that's okay.

Jungkook grabbed the laptop and they sat on the bed together. Taehyung wasn't sure whether the younger wanted to be held while watching the video or not. It's not a situation anyone would want to be in, so knowing what to do was beyond the capabilities of a human mind.

Jungkook sucked in a rapid gasp of air as the video started. Jungkook quickly took hold of Taehyung's hand.
"Don't think of my differently, please" Jungkook's voice cracked, it was wrapped in so much vulnerability and fear.
Taehyung looked at the boy and squeezed his hand supportively.
"Never, I promise" Taehyung said with no mock or joke, just full of trust and honesty.

The pair watched the video. It was awful. They both hated every second of it. Once it ended Taehyung placed the laptop to the side and they sat in silence on the bed in the dark room, just looking up at the same blanc ceiling.

"I never break my promises"

Taehyung muttered out, this simple sentence which filled Jungkook's heart to the brim. The uncertainty and fear that his boyfriend would have a changed perspective of him was running in his head. The guard dropped, and vulnerability showed.

Jungkook launched himself into his comfort. His home.

"I love you, I'm so sorry baby so sorry. But I'm so proud of you" Taehyung engulfed the boy and pressed long kisses to his forehead showing him that he was there.
"I'll take care of you forever on, I promise" Taehyung then said again, allowing Jungkook to scream and cry into his shoulder with no judgement in the world.
He needed this, he needed this closure. He needed this to be the end once and for all.

The future was what he needed, although it is so unknown, it's in his grasp to make it good. He has the power to make his future bright. He has the ownership of his life and finally he's going to allow himself to take that ownership and not fear the past. This is his time to prove to himself that he was stronger than he ever thought before. He was going to get closure for him and his inner child.

Taehyung never told him to quiet the sobs. He never told him to stop crying. He never complained that his shirt was soaked through with tears. He made sure that he drank water after he had let out a loud, heart wrenching scream. He kissed his head when the room was quiet. He spoke words of encouragement when his mind was telling him otherwise. Taehyung didn't ask if he was okay, cause he knew he wasn't. He didn't make small talk to kill the silence, rather he embraced it.

Time passed and the cries came to an end. Jungkook had drifted into a deep sleep, exhausted from all the emotions he had just had to experience. Taehyung kissed the boy lovingly and made sure they were both snuggled up together. He reached over and under the mattress he pulled out a small think flask. He pushed it to his lips and took four massive gulps from it.

He felt the burning, vile liquid trickle down his throat. Once he was satisfied, he placed it back and snuggled into the younger's neck. As he drifted off to sleep, without needing to worry about any nightmares ahead of him he heard this boyfriend whisper,
"Taehyung is my home"
