You Never Walk Alone

Chapter 44

TW: Self-harm, suicide attempt(s) [I swear the next chapter will be fully comfort, I just had these chapters planned so I'm writing them-] 

"What's wrong, Jin hyung, why are you so sad?" Hosu asked as they dispersed from their school building, walking towards the school's garden to meet up with the younger boys.

Jin shook his head, "I-It's s-something...s-stupid, r-really...I-it s-shouldn't b-bother m-me...b-but I-I c-can't...h-help it..." He responded.

"If it's bothering you, then it isn't a stupid reason, tell me, what is it?" Hosu prompted, trying to keep his tone as gentle as possible.

"I-I...l-lost t-the l-lead r-role...i-in t-the s-school...p-play b-because o-of...m-my s-stutter a-and...f-fibrosis..." Jin replied, his shoulders sagging.

"Aw, don't be sad about that, hyung, it's alright, you can always take part in the play next year! And besides, they're only missing out by removing you from the cast, no one acts as good as you!" Hosu spoke with a smile, swinging his arm across the oldest's shoulder, Jin returned his smile, after which the sixteen-year-old turned to his best friend.

"And what about you, Yoongs? How was your day?" Hosu asked.

"W-why a-are y-you...a-asking, w-we w-were t-together...a-all d-day." Yoongi replied.

"Fair point." Hosu speaks, "Oh look! The kids are here!" He pointed out to the group of nine kids walking towards them.

"Why can't we just revolt against our school's management?" Was the first thing Ki-ho said after they reached them.

"What did those incompetent people do now?" Hosu questioned.

"They fucking removed Hobi from the dance team, banned him from coming to the dance studio and stole Joonie's lyrics and then banned him from entering the music club." Ki-ha answered, anger evident in his features.

"They did what now?!" Hosu exclaimed.

"Fucking useless bastards, they fucking did the same thing to Jimin and Kook!" Kyung-se added.

"Do they want our school to lose in every fucking competition we attend?! Are they fucking crazy?!" Kyu-won screeched.

"D-don't g-get s-so...a-angry, w-we're f-fine...w-with i-it, p-promise." Jimin spoke, trying to calm the situation.

"Even if you're fine with it, it's unjust, Jiminie!" Kyung-se protested.

"O-our s-school...i-is j-just l-like t-that." Hoseok reminded.

"D-don't g-get...s-so w-worked... u-up o-over i-it..." Namjoon joined in.

"Y-yeah, t-there's n-no... p-point i-in f-fighting...w-with t-the a-adults." Taehyung spoke, and immediately after speaking, there was a spark of pain in his side, he almost lost his balance when Kyung-se quickly snaked an arm across his waist to hold him up, Taehyung internally winced as he got a flashback.

"Why shouldn't we, it's unfair, you shouldn't give up on fighting against it, let's go and talk to the activity management right now." Hosu suggested.

"W-we're t-tired...o-of f-fighting, h-hyung...i-it's o-okay, w-we a-accept...w-whatever h-happened." Jungkook spoke.

"Aw, Jungkookie, we get it, okay, then, we're going home for today, but tomorrow, hyungs and I will go and talk to the management, alright?" Kyu-won suggested.

Jungkook nodded, "D-do w-we...h-have t-to g-go...n-near t-the a-adults?" He asked.

"Sadly, yes, Kook, we don't have any other choice..." Ki-ha sighed.
