Hammad: "Camila escaped, hyung. Some people attacked the basement and freed her from there."

Yoongi's eyes widened in alarm, realizing the seriousness of the situation. The unexpected turn of events left them both grappling with uncertainty and worry about what might happen next.
Yoongi looked really scared as he hobbled through the dark room. When he reached his brother, who seemed strong despite everything going on, his brother put an arm around Yoongi’s shoulders to comfort him. Feeling his brother's touch made Yoongi feel better—it was like a light in the middle of all the confusion. His mind started to calm down a bit, knowing they were in this together. They shared a quiet moment that helped ease Yoongi's worries. In that moment, he felt hopeful that they could figure out what to do next.

Hammad looked at his older brother, Yoongi, with concern etched on his face.

Hammad: "My brother is strong, right? Then why do I see those wrinkles on your forehead every time her name is mentioned?"

Yoongi's gaze dropped, and he stuttered,

Yoongi: y-you don't know how many nightmares she has given us. I can't forget, no matter what."

Hammad stepped closer, his voice filled with earnestness.

Hammad: "I'm alive, hyung! I'm here to protect you. Can't you trust me?"

Yoongi sighed heavily, the weight of past traumas evident in his eyes.

Yoongi: t's not about trusting you, Hammad. It's the memories... they haunt me."

Hammad's expression softened with understanding.

Hammad:  know it's hard, hyung. But we're stronger together. Let's face this, whatever it is, as a team."

Yoongi : "It's easy for you to move on, but not for me, little brother. Those touches, I still feel them on my body. Those scars are still there, reminding me of how ugly I am and how dark my past is," Yoongi confessed, his voice heavy with the weight of painful memories.

Hammad listened quietly, his gaze unwavering.

Hammad: "Hyung, no matter what happens between us, I can't leave you alone. You and your family have done so much for me. Being an adoptive... I can't repay all those favors, but I can protect you in return."

A sudden tension filled the air as Yoongi's hand met Hammad's cheek with a soft slap, the sound echoing in the quiet room.

Yoongi: "Don't talk nonsense," Yoongi said sternly, his eyes reflecting a mix of frustration and affection.

Hammad touched his cheek, unfazed by the slap.

Hammad: "Hyung, I mean it. I owe you everything."

Yoongi's expression softened, his voice tinged with remorse.

Yoongi: "I know, Hammad. I'm sorry. It's just... hard."

Hammad nodded understandingly.

Hammad: "I understand, hyung. But we're in this together, remember? Let's face it, step by step."

Yoongi sighed, a glimmer of gratitude in his eyes.

Yoongi: "Alright, Hammad. Let's face it together."

During those two weeks, Yoongi and Hammad grew closer than ever, sharing moments of laughter and support. But whenever the topic of Malaak came up, tension simmered between them.

Hammad voiced his concerns softly.

Hammad: alaak is fragile, and as a woman, she needs to be protected. In Islam, women are like diamonds—precious and deserving of care."
