The sun brings me comfort

Chapter 13: You Are Perfect

Hobi wasn't sure how much time had passed but the fact that it felt like it was getting darker made him worry. He still held Jungkook who had stopped crying a few moments earlier and was now just clinging onto him being careful to not hurt his arm that cleary got hurt from the fall.

It felt strange to hold onto someone and the longer he held the warmer he felt inside his chest. He didn't want to ever let go and he wished he could hug him properly just like in his dreams along with the other two but just like how nightmares invaded his dreams it happened to his reality as well. Yes he got the chance to finally be near one of them but it was in the worst possible way with both of them being too hurt to protect them from the dangers right outside of the door.

He wasn't sure when the switch in his mind flipped but he knew the only safe place was inbetween the 4 walls he hated, it wasn't safe in the house where his father lived and it wasn't safe outside but it surely looked more appealing by the time that passed. He didn't know what to believe anymore but he only trusted in his friends to never bring harm to him, they never said any cruel words to him and never attempted to lay a hand on him not even with Jungkook having full opportunity given he was far less injured than him at the moment.

In the end he only knew one thing and that was that even if it meant getting into the trouble that would end his life or make him live a lonely life all alone permanently then he would do so to get Jungkook to safety with Jimin and Taehyung.

His brothers would come for him and then he could help Jungkook get to safety before his father came and harmed him for being an outsider, Jungkook was a soft, kind and warm person with a golden heart who claimed the spot of comfort in his life along with the twins. They took the spot he safely reserved only for the sun but in all honesty he knew that even if the warmth of the sun hid away, the warmth of them would never hide away and would rather envelope him just with the words of never leaving him.

He just hoped help would come soon...

"Hyung?" Hobi looked down and saw Jungkook's face through the slight darkness. He was looking at Hobi with saddened eyes and Hobi immediately gave his full attention to Jungkook ignoring the urge to turn his face away and the stabbing pain in his ribs from how fast he moved to sit up a bit straighter.

"Kook-ah" He whispered thankful that his voice had a while to rest up a bit and he knew if he kept it to whispers then he wouldn't stutter as much. His happiness of him being awake however got crushed when he saw Jungkook's eyes fill with tears again.

"Hey d-don't cry I'm sorry I can't help you more b-but hopefully your brothers come soon and help-"

"You are hurt Hobi....who did this to you Hyung? Who would hurt our Hyung?" He asked with a wobbly tone and Hobi blinked back the tears that gathered in his eyes as he sighed shaking his head.

Oh...oh

"Don't worry...I'm o-okay. It was just part of my p-punishment but my biggest worry is about-"

"Punishment?" His words got cut off again and he saw Jungkook's tears halting as he stared at him with shock painted on his face. Hobi nodded not minding the interruption as he licked his dry lips wincing slightly as he licked over the cut on his lip.

"I...I broke the rules. I k-knew I wasn't allowed to talk to o-outsiders but then I met the three of you. Y-You were nothing like I feared and you were- are so n-nice and my father didn't like it....I'm sorry for making you s-see my like this" He looked at the with with sorrow pouring out of him but he froze as Jungkook pushed himself fully up as well and shook his head with wide eyes.

"No...no no Hyung no" Hobi felt his frown form as he tilted his head slightly in confusion. Jungkook looked conflicted on his feelings and winced as he moved his arm which sent Hobi to try and move him into a more comfortable position but the movement made him let out a small cry of pain from the sharp stabbing feeling that shot through his chest which instantly made Jungkook reach out to stop him from moving.
