Third person's pov

Days turned to weeks and weeks turned to months, what Jimin thought was going to be silent treatments turned to physical abuse. He was not aware when the insults and negative words turned to physical abuse. It just happened, and it was not something he could stop, so he just decided to live with it.

No matter how difficult things were he always tells himself that it will all get better one day, but then that day never came.

It came to a time were he tries to retaliate against them, but the odds were against him. 'They beat me less when I endure everything' he tells himself.

Fear... he never thought he would use that word to express his feelings towards the members. Along the way, he started to fear the others. They terrified him to the point that he shakes at their mere presence. Weren't they my family?...

Hope... he gave up on that word long ago. He knew that no one could save him from them. He has come to live with the fact that he will be abused for the rest of his life with no one to save him. Of of course, he still fears them, but that doesn't mean he can do anything about it.

Not knowing if he would ever be saved, he had learned to accept whatever was thrown at him, but that doesn't mean he has given up entirely.

Taehyung's pov

"You should stop following his orders Tae, Jimin is starting to lose hope in your friendship. You can apologise to him, I know he won't ask you for the reason until you tell him." Namjoon says, I know he was saying the truth, but I can't let him suffer all this alone." After all, we've come so far for me to quit.

"I can't leave you alone hyung. I'd be devasted if Jimin stops trusting me, but that doesn't mean I'd feel better about myself if I leave you alone." I said, and he just sighed.

"What about Hobi and Kook?" He asks, and I just looked down. Of course they are there, I know they'll be angry at me for shouldering all this responsibility without letting them lend me a helping hand, but I can't put them in trouble.

Kook is already on his list, and I don't want him to be alert, and if everyone gets involved, he'd definitely take action sooner than he planned. Noticing my silence and knowing exactly what my fears were, he continued.

"...you know it will break them when they find out right..." he says.
"So what? we've been doing it for months now, and they are still clueless about it," I bit back, wondering why he so badly wants me to stop when we are already too deep into it.

"...you know you can stop now, and nobody will know, pretend like nothing happened and be happy with them..." he continued adamantly. "What's the point in it, we are already too deep into it. When it gets out, the worst that can happen is that we break up," my heart breaks at the mention of break up.

"...don't you regret it." He asks, and that took me off guard. Do I regret?... I dont think so. I'd choose to protect the most important people in my life no matter what it takes. "...no... I would do it again and again if I have to... I don't regret it. I won't regret it... never," I replied, confident in my words.

"What's the matter, hyung?" I asked when I noticed he wasn't answering, I turned around to see what caught his attention only to meet Hobi's broken eyes. I got scared of the fact that he may have heard what we said, but that doesn't look like it. That was when i replayed our conversation in my head only to notice the misunderstanding, and my face turned out of fear.

Afraid that he might want nothing to do with me again, I desperately tried to explain myself. "H... Hope it's not what you think I..." I said  holding his hand desperately, not knowing how to express myself.
