When Taehyung saw who came out of the car, he immediately panicked, he frantically searched around for a place to hide so that those people wouldn't see him, he saw the entrance to an alleyway behind him, so he quickly ran there with Yoongi still on his back, getting further into the dark alley, he laid Yoongi on the pavement while he slid down the wall, hugging his knees, trying to calm himself down.
Unfortunately, the two people followed them into the alley.
"Taehyung-ah?" One of them called out, the other one stood at the entrance. The boy froze. "Come here, Taehyung-ah, I'm here to bring you home." The man spoke again.
"G-guard ahjeossi?" the fourteen-year-old whimpered.
"Yes, Taehyung-ah, I'm here, come on, let's go home."
"N-no y-you'll b-bring u-us b-back t-to d-dad, I-I won't go!" Taehyung shouted, he was beginning to hyperventilate, the thought of returning to his father was terrifying.
"Taehyung-ah your fathe-"
"NO! I WON'T GO!" The boy screamed, still lost in his world of panic as he protectively held onto his unconscious older brother.
"Tae, what'sss wr'ngg?" Yoongi mumbled before slipping back into his previous state, the-fourteen-year-old placed his hand on his older brother's forehead, the older had a raging fever.
"Look, Taehyung-ah, Yoongi needs to get help as soon as possible, so please, come with me and we'll make sure Yoongi is given the help he needs." The man reasoned.
The boy seemed to be thinking it over, his grip on his older brother loosening a bit, would they catch a break if he went with the guard to his home? He was considering it when suddenly, screams of agony rang in his ears, he covered his ears with his hands and closed his eyes, only to see a furious and ridiculously drunk man walking towards him with a soju bottle in one hand and a bat in the other; Suecheon. Immediately, his eyes flew open, hands still covering his ears as the screams grew louder, the fourteen-year-old began frantically shaking his head and mumbling 'no' again and again like a broken record.
The man looked at him with concern in his eyes, he crouched down next to the hyperventilating boy, trying to calm him down, but Taehyung just flinched away, not wanting to be touched by someone who he hadn't seen in almost a decade, he wasn't going to let that happen, not after what the Master did to them. The man understood, and backed away, opting to use words instead.
"Taehyung-ah, your brothers miss Yoongi and you dearly, please, for their sake, come with me." The man pleaded.
That seemed to do the trick, the boy began calming himself down at the mention of his beloved brothers.
"T-they s-still r-remember u-us?" He asked in a small voice.
"Of course they do, they are your brothers, how could they forget? Infact, everyday, after returning home from school, they ask me if you two returned yet." The man smiled, "Wouldn't it be a good surprise that this time, when they come back home, I could tell them that yes, their brothers have returned?"
"I-I...y-yes..." The boy spoke, fear evident in his voice, "b-but d-dad-"
"He was arrested six years ago, was given a life sentence three years ago." The man informed.
Taehyung's eyes widened, now that his brain had stopped panicking, he could vaguely remember hearing something similar on the animated billboards, he remembered showing it to his hyung too.
"S-so h-he w-won't b-be a-able t-to h-hurt u-us?" He asked.
"No, now wil you come with us?"
Now, Taehyung focused on observing the man, he squinted -as the alleyway was quite dark- he wanted to make sure the man was trustable, even though the man was a guard at his home, because all the adults except his mother had failed him and his hyung, it was difficult to trust the adults easily. The boy spotted an unfamiliar man standing at the entrance of the alleyway.
"W-who i-is th-that?" He asked, eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"That's the private investigator that found you, he's kind of like a police officer except he doesn't work for the government." The man explained.
Deciding to trust them, Taehyung got up and picked up the unconscious Yoongi yet again, ignoring the small black dots in his vision, and began walking out of the alleyway, oblivious to the concerned glances the man gave him -because of the cuts and bruises on both the boys' faces and their weak state- he had reached the car and was about to open the door when his body gave up and his vision went black as he fell back, hitting his head on the pavement, and Yoongi's too.
The two men panicked but quickly picked up both the boys and placed them in the car, after making sure the boys wouldn't get hurt in any way, they too entered the car and began driving to Seoul.

"Oh Jin! There you are! I was looking for you since morning. Anyways, would you be interested in auditioning for the new play?" The theatre and arts teacher asked, Baek Seokjin was undoubtedly the best actor with his skills and visuals, everyone wanted him to star in the plays.
"New play? Sure! When's the audition?" The seventeen-year-old asked.
"After recess." The teacher answered.
"Alright, I'll swing by." Jin nodded, his eyes went to the clock in the hallway, "I gotta go for class, bye Miss." He spoke hurriedly as he bowed and then rushed off.

"Hyung, what happened, why are you so overjoyed today?" Jungkook asked his eldest brother who was currently hopping about and beaming, his other hyungs -Hosu hadn't come because he was down with the flu- were staring at the eldest in confusion.
"I got the lead role in the school's new play!" Jin exclaimed, jumping up and down excitedly.
"Hyung, you have been playing the main lead in our school's play for five years now. Why are you so up in the clouds because of that?" Hoseok spoke in a deadpan.
"Sounds like something Yoongi hyung would say, did he posses you, Hobi?" Namjoon chuckled.
Silence.
"Guys?" The fifteen-year-old called.
"Sorry, we just-"
"No, I'm sorry, hyung, I was inconsiderate while joking and brought up sad memories, I apologize." Namjoon said, cutting Jin off.
"It's okay, Joon-ah, you didn't mean to." Hoseok offered a smile.
"Yeah, don't apologize, hyung." Jimin joined in, flashing him an eye smile.
Namjoon nodded and the rest of their walk home was spent in silence.
They soon reached the gates of their mansion, they quickly went upto the small room beside the gate.
"Are they back yet, ahjeossi?" Jin asked the guard like always, it had become a habit by this point.
The only reply the guard gave was a frown, losing their hope for the day, they hung their heads, walked inside, ringing the doorbell, they greeted the housekeeper that opened the door for them, and then went to greet their mother after putting their shoes and bags in the correct places.
"Good afternoon, mom." Jin announced in a sad tone.
Namra was used to it, the boy's would get their moods ruined after asking the guard the same question again and again and getting the same answer again and again, oh how she wished that one day her sons would greet her happily after returning from school.
"Good afternoon, boys, you should go and freshen up, I'll set the table and then we can have lunch, sounds good?" Namra asked.
The boys hummed in reply before going upstairs to their room, nothing could've prepared them for what they saw in their room.
"Yoongi and Taehyung?!" All five of them cried out in shock.
