Once upon a dream

Broken Angel

"Angel" Taehyung peeked into his bedroom. Unfortunately he had taken longer than necessary with some issues and had returned back to his bedroom to find the boy curled up under the covers, the other two long gone. Deciding to leave Jungkook be for now, he quietly shut the door and retreated back to his office where he left Namjoon behind.

In the time he took to come check on his sweet angel his cousin and friend had snuck into his home office as well. The two were sitting closely on his sofa, Jin's arm was around Jimin's shoulders. They were speaking in hushed tones and from where he stood he could see the puffy eyes of his friend, indicating he had cried recently.

"What happened?"

Both turned to him, surprised by his appearance.

"Nothing" Jimin quickly righted himself and ran his fingers through his hair. "Why aren't you with Jungkook?"

"He's asleep"

"Oh" Jin frowned. It wasn't that he disliked the boy, it was the circumstances he didn't care for. He was still skeptical but for now he decided to believe in the two. The way Taehyung treated Jungkook, like he would break, as if he was the most precious thing on the planet, that is what made Jin accept their relationship on how the two claimed to have met. Plus the younger seemed sweet.

Taehyung wasn't believing anything the two were trying to sell him. Jimin had clearly just cried and Jin was frowning deeply. "What is really going on? What happened? Cause im sure as hell not believing that 'nothing' for a second"

He turned towards Namjoon who also shrugged his shoulders, the elder was too engrossed in his work to notice that the other two had even entered.

"Tae let's leave it be for now" Jin suggested.

That's exactly what he wasn't going to do. The two were just in with his angel, now Jimin was like this. "What happened?" He asked again.

Jimin sniffled back tears. "It's really nothing Tae, just my emotions getting the better of me. Talking with him reminded me of what happened when I was younger. That's all"

"That's not nothing Jimin" he crouched down in front of his friend and took his hands in his. "You've been through something that nobody should ever have to experience and you've never truly processed what happened. You've kept it bottled up for years, your feelings are valid  Minnie"

"I know, it's just hearing him talk about it-.."

"He talked to you?"

"Kind of. I told him that he and I were no different. But hearing him talk about Kwan and it's still so fresh with him, he was there with that...w-with that monster for a long time and with me it was only once. What happened with me keeps running through my mind and I can't stop wondering what he must be feeling right now. With him it wasn't one time, he was there, trapped and nobody was there for him, nobody could save him from it"

"Ok ok" Jin pulled the younger deeper into his arms, letting him curl around and clutch onto his shirt. His hand ran up and down his back while the other patted against the back of his head.

Namjoon had stopped his work listening to the younger. It gave him all the more reason to bring the Cho's down. Too long had they been in power and abusing it. The plan had changed when Jungkook had escaped and now it was deferred until further notice when Taehyung would give the go ahead.

"Let it out Min, let it all out" Tae spoke while rubbing his thumbs over the back of Jimins hands.

"I hate it"

"I know"

"I hate him a-and what he d-did to me, what he did to him"

"I know"
