30. Persecution

"For having complained so much, you did pretty good."

Yoongi gasps, his sweaty hair dropping thick drops. The others in the room applaud him. He joined so recently, but he is able to keep up with Hoseok's horrible routines and drills. That's an accomplishment they have just by having more than a year training with Hoseok. You can tell that Yoongi's body memory has a lot of exercise in it, so he still has a lot of stamina.

One that is growing by the day.

Due to the mute request - more like demand - nothing is mentioned about Yoongi's scar. Not in that space at least. It's an understanding of sorts with Hoseok. To make everything as natural as possible, they are not going to mention that scar. Not even under the feeling that it might be an obligation.

Yoongi coughs and stays sitting on the floor. His body is tingling and he wants to take a bath. He takes the paper that a girl gives him, the kind of exit for being finished. Opening it, he stretches his lips and closes his eyes. Hoseok peeks in and can't help but laugh.

Yoongi marry me.

"How cute, they STILL DON'T GET TIRED!" exclaims Hoseok, clapping his hands euphorically and falling over laughing. In the distance they think they hear a dog barking, but it is so far away that it is barely possible to make it out.

They would say that those who know they are Yoongi's fans have not said anything about it. On the contrary, they have taken to giving him gifts now that he is being more present with the group in general and not just Bangtan members. Hoseok thinks it's great. It's evidence that other than them, more people are going to overlook the scar for what it is: a mark that can't be removed, but it doesn't even disfigure him or create any repulsion.

Just curiosity as to how it happened, following the admiration for surviving something like that. Of course, they don't know what other scars Yoongi has, but how would that change how impressive it is? As far as anyone knows, no one has ever survived that level of attack. All at the same time and all at the same time. While there have been the occasional bite on others who are immune, they have not been this savage and critical.

In that respect, Yoongi is the strongest person in the group, ending up also being the most fragile after enduring so much.

The sound of gunfire makes them look towards the window, a slight note of annoyance and resignation, thinking a vague: well, there goes another one to the list. However, the almost hysterical sound over the radio makes them get up in a hurry.

"NONO! STOP IT! IT PASSED!"

Hoseok jumps up suddenly, grabbing Yoongi by the arm to pull him up. They are far from the entrance, but if he went in, it's because that person is running. He closes the door behind him and makes a ruckus, signaling everyone who knows how to fight to go help and those who don't to go up to the roof or third floor to stay out of the way. Being only one person, with more than fifty people in charge, it is impossible for any misfortune to happen.

And if it happens, Hoseok only asks that it not be to any of them.

"Well, we have enough people stuck in the kitchen, also taking care of the animals and in search parties, to my own surprise what do we do with these kids who now want to help?" grumbles Jin, somewhat uneasily. Several children who are older now want to help in some way.

And it's a bit overwhelming to have to put them up to it, but they also have no way to entertain them or keep them from sitting in a room doing nothing. They're the ones asking for some labor. Yeosang exhales, plopping down a bit with the chair.
