remember me

*Six*

With his breaths evening out the four people also present looked at each other, two with concern and confusion and the other two utterly broken.

"Im calling our doctor to come take a look at him" Jin said. "Take him back to your room, I'm not sure what happened between you three but it needs to be addressed later. Let the little one rest fo..."

"Don't call him that" Taehyung growled out at his brother, the first time to speak to him in such a way. Jin and Hoseok both were taken aback by the tone.

"Taehyung, now is not the time to be possessive" Jin fired back.

"That's not it" Jimin hiccuped as he smoothed down the boys hair who was leaning against his chest. "Just don't call him that please"

Hoseok and Jin shared a look with one another, a passing glance that spoke that something more complex was going on between the three soulmates.

"Ok, we wont" Hoseok answered for the two of them.

Taehyung stood and scooped the boy back up into his hold, without saying another word he made his way back up the stairs to their bedroom, carefully holding the boy, scared to damage him any more than he already was.

"Jimin, did you get his name?" Hoseok asked. He knew it was the wrong time but everyone was so keen on getting it before. The faster he got it the faster he can get to work and they'd be off of his case.

"...yes, but I need to talk to Bear first"

"Why?" Jin asked. "I asked for it too, originally. I'd still like it."

"Hyung I can't do that, not until I talk to Bear and Kookie too once he wakes up."

Jin sighed as he crossed the room to where he kept his wine glass from before the chaos began. "Jimin this is going against my orders, you know that right?"

"I do" Jimin stood his ground and refused to back down.

"Even if I'm doing this as a precaution? He's a stranger, someone who lied about his identity"

"Mm. I'm sorry hyung"

Jin thought for a moment as he stared at the glass in his hand, in the end he ended up waving the younger off. As Jimin ascended up the staircase Jin called after him. "I'll inform you when the doctor is here"

"Yes hyung"

Taehyung was sitting on the couch when he walked in the room, he was hunched over with his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped together. His head was bowed down, lost in thought. Jungkook was placed back on the bed, deep in his state, the remnants of his tears were wiped clean.

"Bear"

Taehyungs head whipped up to look at him, that's when his facade fell and tears gathered in his eyes and Taehyung cried. Jimin instantly ran to him and held him in his arms. Standing in between his legs, he let Tae snuggle into his chest.

"It's going to be ok, we'll figure it out. Hmm?"

"No," his hands tightened around Jimins waist. "I triggered it, his panic at his apartment. I called him that name"

"It's not your fault, you didn't know." Jimin assured him while he ran his fingers through his hair. It always helped with calming down his soulmate. "So you heard it too then, felt it as well?"

"Hmm. The words were garbled together but I heard the name and with it came all the emotions and pain it inflicted."

"...what if..what if he was.."

"Don't" Taehyung was quick to deny it. "He wasn't"

"How do you know that? It would explain so much. He clearly has PTSD and with him lying about his name"
