You Never Walk Alone

Chapter 29

The seven boys rushed to their room immediately after Sang-wook left the room. Even Jin was shaking, and the last time Jin was scared to this extent was six years ago, back when Suecheon still lived with them.

"I don't like him, hyung, I don't." Jimin spoke, tears collecting in his eyes.

"Yes, we won't live with him, hyung, he's bad." Jungkook cried out, burying his face into his nearest hyung's shoulder.

"We can't do anything about it. What the adults say is final." Yoongi said, he'd gotten used to everything at this point.

"I guess Yoongi is right, we can't change what the adults decided." Jin sighed.

"B-but he won't let us live in peace if he moves in!" Jimin protested.

"Well then we'll just have to adjust, adjusting for him is the best option we have right now." Taehyung spoke up, "It'll save us a lot of bruises." He added in a low whisper, head hung low.

"I'm sure he won't actually hit us." Hoseok mumbled, "I mean, mom won't let him, right?"

"I think he wouldn't...He knows what happened to dad, no one would want to go to prison..." Namjoon said.

"I don't know..." Jin sighed again, "But this time, if anything happens, please tell any adult near by, we'll report him, we won't let him abuse us, got it?"

His dongsaengs nodded.

"B-but...h-he's scary..." Jungkook squeaked out in a scared tone as he peeked out from behind Hoseok's shoulder.

"I know, but we'll have to live with it." Yoongi said, reaching out to give the youngest a comforting pat on the shoulder.

-

"YOU'RE MARRYING HIM IN TWO DAYS?!!" Jin yelled in shock, they were having dinner and their mother had announced that she was marrying Sang-wook.

"Yes, I am, don't worry, it's not a big event, only a few people will be there." Namra replied.

"But mom-!" Hoseok exclaimed, but stopped himself mid-sentence.

"But what, Hoseok?" Namra asked.

"N-nothing..." Hoseok mumbled.

"I just wanted to make sure if you're all ready for the ceremony in two days." Namra spoke.

The boys gave half-hearted nods and finished their dinner without speaking a single word.

-

"We can't complain about him." Hoseok spoke as soon as all of them entered their room.

"Why?" Jungkook asked.

"Because mom's finally moving on, she's going to be happy, she's sacrificed too much for us, she deserves something to keep her happy, he's only said a few foul words, it's okay, it's not that much of a big deal." Hoseok answered, "I know I changed my mind too soon, but I just thought about it over dinner, and I think-"

"Don't justify yourself, Hobi, I agree with you." Jin cut Hoseok off.

"Yeah. Me too." Yoongi said.

The other boys nodded in agreement.

"It's fine, let's just go to sleep for now, maybe Sang-wook will be a tolerable person besides from the toxicity." Namjoon suggested.

"We can only hope." Jimin sighed.
