You Never Walk Alone

Chapter 15

  After a long while of running, the three boys finally skid to a stop, they were far enough from The Master's house.

"So, you guys wanna go back to your orphanage?" Hosu asked.

"No. I have had enough of that place, they keep sending us away to unsafe places, I don't want to go there anymore." Yoongi answered and Taehyung nodded along.

"Okay, then you guys can stick with me." Hosu said, "But...I also ran away from home two years ago and I currently live in an abandoned house, I hope you don't mind..." He added.

"Anywhere is better than that hellhole." Yoongi scoffed.

Hosu hummed and began leading them to his 'house', on the way, Yoongi explained Taehyung what had happened to them, which led to the eleven-year-old breaking down and sobbing like there was no tomorrow, the two older boys managed to calm him down and then continued on their way.

—

"Yoongi hyung!" Taehyung screeched, stopping mid-step and pointing upwards.

"What?" Yoongi responded, turning around to look at what happened.

"Look." The eleven-year-old pressed, still gesturing upwards, the two older boys looked up, there was an animated billboard a little farther away where a news channel was playing.

"That's the news. Big deal, come on Taehyung, let's continue on, Hosu's house is still pretty far away, and we have to get there soon." Yoongi said, and then turned around and began walking forwards.

"Breaking news, famous actor Baek Suecheon's final court hearing was held today, where he was yet again, ruled guilty, this time with zero chances for an appeal, he was given a live sentence for the following reasons, child abuse, domestic abuse, alcohol abuse, drug abuse and tax fraud."

Yoongi stopped dead in his tracks and stared at the animated billboard, there was a video playing of his father being dragged away in a police car.

"Yoongi, what's wrong?" Hosu asked.

"T-thats- nevermind, let's go." Yoongi shook his head and started walking.

"Hoseokieee!! Can you please sign this for me??" A screeching voice rang in his ear as he tried to get to his locker, sighing, he took whatever the girl wanted him to sign and signed it, not paying much attention to it.

He hated how he had suddenly gotten so popular just because of the school-level dance competition he had won, and it was honestly making him consider ripping his ears off and never dancing again. He managed to weave his way through the crowded corridor and reached his locker, taking his backpack from there and then running to the school's exit.

"Hobi! You're here!" Namjoon exclaimed, "I've been standing here for sooo long." The boy exaggerated.

Hoseok let out a laugh, "Sorry, Joonie, I got caught up in some work."

"It's okay." Namjoon reassured.

"HYUNGSS!!!" Two voices yelled, and suddenly the two twins were ambushed with big hugs.

"Jiminie, Jungkookie!" Hoseok exclaimed.

"How was your day?" Namjoon asked.

"Good!" Jimin answered.

"I'm glad." A voice said out of nowhere, the four boys' heads immediately whipped back to see their oldest hyung walking up to them.

"Let's go home, hyungies! I have a feeling that Yoonie hyungie and Taetae hyungie will be back at home today!" Jungkook spoke, Jimin's eyes lit up and both of the boys raced ahead.

The three older boys exchanged glances and sighed.

"Yah! You two, wait up!" Jin yelled, running up behind the them.
