You Never Walk Alone

Chapter 21

"Yoongi and Taehyung?!"

Jin rubbed his eyes and blinked multiple times, was this real?! Was he dreaming?!

The boys hesitantly went closer to their long lost brothers, who were tucked into Seokjin and Jungkook's beds -since those two did not have a bunk bed and slept on single beds- and the sight made their hearts dropped, they looked so peaceful yet so troubled, they had cuts and bruises all over their faces and they looked so thin, the clothes they were wearing were a few sizes too small for them to wear anymore, there was dirt matted into their hair and they looked nothing like the once cheerful kids they (the other five) remembered them as, they had grown up, but one thing that hadn't changed was the scars they left with, Yoongi had the same scar on his cheek and Taehyung had the same one below his eye, they wondered where they were for the past nine years and how they lived, judging by their condition, they weren't living the best life.

"MOM!" Jungkook yelled, too overwhelmed by the situation.

Namra immediately came rushing in, "What's wrong, Kook?"

"W-why didn't you tell us?" The twelve-year-old demanded, his voice cracking as tears built up in his eyes.

"I wanted you kids to be surprised, the private investigators and the guard brought them in just thirty minutes ago." Namra explained, "So...Surprise?"

The boys said nothing as they exploded into sobs, sitting down near the two boys, holding onto their hands and carding through their hair just to make themselves believe that, yes, this was real, Yoongi and Taehyung were back, and they weren't going to lose them ever again.

"I've called Nurse Ajumma to check up on them, she'll be here soon, I suggest you guys freshen up soon. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." Namra said and then left so that the boys could have some alone time with their brothers.

The five boys were sure they never changed so fast in their life, all of them were back in their home clothes in under one minute, and then they were glued to Seokjin and Jungkook's bed yet again, just watching over the two, because they were afraid, they were afraid that if they leave them alone for too long, they'll get taken away from them again.

Soon enough, their 'Nurse Ajumma' had come to check up on them, she told them to go and eat lunch while she treated the two, which the boys obeyed.

"Boys, slow down!" Namra exclaimed.

"None can do, we have to go back to Yoongi hyung and Tae." Hoseok spoke.

"Hobi, don't talk with your mouth full." Namra warned.

"Sorry." Hoseok apologised, gulping.

After lunch, Namra went with them to sit next to the two boys.

"So, how are they?" Namra asked the nurse.

"Well, Yoongi has infected cuts, I'll get him some anti-biotics,Taehyung has a cracked rib, that'll heal on its own, and they are slightly malnourished and dehydrated, so don't be afraid to feed them a lot and make sure they drink lots of water." The nurse answered, "But I suggest you take them to the hospital once too."

"I'll take them once they wake up." Namra said.

"Alright, I'll just bring in Yoongi's medicine." The nurse informed before leaving.

"Mom, they've been unconscious for quite a while now, are you sure they are okay?" Namjoon asked in concern.

"Yes, the guard said they were drifting in and out of consciousness in the car, so they might regain consciousness soon." Namra answered.

"Okay." The fifteen-year-old said before returning his attention back to his two brothers.
