Far Away (BTS Hybrid Au)

Getting Through It

3rd person's pov

"You'll call when you land?" Han asked, hugging Xiumin, who hugged him back. All of their bags had already been checked onto their flight and though, the three brother's were finding it difficult to want to get on the plane, they knew that they were needed. "Yeah, we'll call. Promise to keep an eye on Jae, she'll be really upset after we're gone." Xiumin said, "Don't worry, we'll do everything we can to keep her from spiraling. You just take care of what you need to over there and don't take forever to come back this time." Felix smiled at his cousins, Chen chuckled and nodded. "We'll try." With Xiumin gave his cousins one last hug goodbye, Chen and Kyungsoo following and then the three boarded their flight. Xiumin felt guilty for leaving again, he didn't mean to put so much pressure on their cousins. But a part of him wanted to make sure that Jae would be okay, especially since she now had so much more to look forward to than she did the first time he and his brothers left. Han, Felix and Hyunjin watched as their cousins plane took off from the runway, Han letting out a sigh. "Just got a text from Jin hyung." Hyunjin spoke up, "What'd he say?" Felix looked at his brother, "She basically cried herself to sleep, apparently the party took most of her energy and I'm betting the hour we spent dancing didn't help. He asked if we could pick up some pastries and sweets for her." He explained, "I think I know a good place to get some pastries and sweets for her." With that the three left the airport, hoping to cheer up their cousin.

Xiumin sat back in his seat, letting out a sad sigh as he watched their plane leaving the place that he had called home when he was younger. "Do you think she'll be okay?" Lay asked, looking back from his seat. He ended up getting a seat in the row just in front of the brother's, "Yeah.. She'll be okay.. She has to be." Kyungsoo said, looking up from his book. "We don't know when we are coming back to Korea and it could be a long time before we have the chance to travel again. She needs to be okay with us not being there. The first time we left.. I was upset and didn't think about how she would feel. Then when we left after the funeral, I know she felt like we abandoned her. But it's different now. We just need to have faith in our little sister." He added, "Kyungie's right. Besides, she has her hybrids and our cousins. They'll definitely help her out. We just need to be optimistic." Chen smiled at Lay, who nodded and looked at Xiumin, he was staring out the window. "I hope you're right.."

Back at the house, Eun-Jae was sleeping soundly on the couch. She had cried so much that she exhausted herself and ended up falling asleep on Jin's lap, when Jin tried to move, she only held him tighter. So here the Artic Wolf Hybrid was, stuck with his mate sleeping on top of him on the couch. "This is going to be a long four days that they are here." Jungkook sighed, "Yeah, it is. We should clean the rooms and put fresh sheets down for them to sleep on." Hoseok chimed in, placing his phone in his pocket. "I want to help, I got to get started on dinner anyways." Jin said, trying to move but Eun-Jae let out a groan and hugged him tighter. "Uh, Hyung.. I think it's best if you just stay there. Cub doesn't want to let go of you any time soon." Taehyung looked up from the table as he slid the remaining pieces of cake back into the cake box, "But what if I have to use the restroom? I can't just stay here." Jin whined, "You're hopeless, Jin. I'll stay with her." Jin moved again, trying to sit up but Jae's grip was tight. Yoongi walked over to the couch, managing to separate Jae from Jin. He carried her off to his room, Jimin following Jin who was going to need help prepping dinner. While the rest of the boys cleaned the house, "I didn't expect them to leave so soon, you know.." Jungkook sighed, throwing plastic utensils in the garbage bag he was holding.

"Me neither."

"I don't think any of us were."

"It's best not to dwell on it, we may not know when they'll be coming back but we know that they will. And as long as we can keep that in our minds, we'll be fine. For now, let's focus on getting the house in order and getting through the next four days with Jae." Hoseok said, everyone agreed to it and continued cleaning up while Jin and Jimin fixed dinner. Yoongi tucked Jae under the sheets, he slid underneath them right next to her and pulled her close to him. She curled up against Yoongi, clutching his shirt tightly. It was as if she didn't want to let go of him, not wanting to lose him like she lost everything else when she was young. "Everything will be okay, Jae. I know you'll miss your brothers, hell... I think everyone will miss them. Especially Jimin, he bonded very well with Xiumin hyung. And Jin seemed to also bond really well with your brother's. I'm glad that we got to meet them though our time together was short. I see that so much of your personality comes from the three of them, they must have really been a big influence on you as a child." Yoongi whispered, brushing a strand of her hair and tucked in behind her ear. He leaned forward, planting a soft kiss on her forehead and closed his eyes deciding to fall asleep right next to her.

After everything was cleaned up, the rest of the boys were sitting in the living room watching a movie. Jimin had been kicked out of the kitchen after a little mishap nearly caused a fire to break out, so he decided to just sit with the others. Of course since Jimin was a little tense, he shifted into his cat form.

"Meow."

"Huh?" Namjoon looked down on the floor, his eyes landing on Jimin who was sitting in front of him just staring up at Hoseok and him. "Jimin, why'd you shift? You feeling okay?" Namjoon asked, Jimin only meowed at his question, leaving Namjoon and Hoseok confused. "Did you want to sit up here?" Namjoon patted the couch cushion beside him, Jimin stared for a moment before walking away and left Namjoon stunned. "What the?" Namjoon tilted his head, his ears twitching as Hoseok watched Jimin walk away. "Don't worry, he's fine. Jiminie does this from time to time when he gets tense." Hoseok said, dismissing the encounter. Jimin walked over to Taehyung, who was coming out of the bathroom and rubbed against his leg. "Oh, Jimin hyung. You shifted." He reached down to pick him up, only to have Jimin playfully swat his hand. "Yah, hyung. Don't be like that." Taehyung whined, Jimin only swatted his hand once more and trotted away from him. "Ah, hyung." Taehyung watched Jimin climb up the stairs, his tail swishing behind him. He slipped through the slightly open door to Yoongi's room, he quietly walked in and jumped up onto the bed. Yoongi's ear twitched, his tail wrapped around his leg as he felt Jimin step all over his stomach. Jimin let out a soft mew and found a spot to sleep right beside Yoongi's neck, he curled up into a ball and closed his eyes. "We're back." Felix called, as he unlocked the front door to the house. He takes off his shoes, taking the bags from his brothers and headed into the kitchen where he came across Jin who was cooking with Jungkook. "Where's Jae?" Han asked, Hyunjin locked the front door behind him and took off his shoes. "She fell asleep on the couch so Yoongi hyung took her upstairs. I think he fell asleep with her." Namjoon explained, pausing the movie. "How was she after we left for the airport?" Felix asked, "At first, we thought that she wasn't going to cry. That is until Jin hyung said something and she bursted into tears. She cried herself to sleep."

"Aigoo.." Han sighed, rubbing his face. He took a seat on the couch beside Hoseok, "This is going to be a hard week."

"Yeah."

"But, she has us. And we'll find a way to cheer her up. We always do." Hyunjin smiled at Han, "Yeah, we will.. I hope."
