Saviors

45

   Minhyuk and his friend were arrested within the hour that they were held at the police station. The officers asked Jihoon and Soonyoung many questions while they were separated, to make sure they got the same information. After a couple of hours, some officers took them to the hospital. They had to be transported around wearing masks because many reporters were waiting for the two victims at all the obvious places. They didn't want the whole world to figure out it was two idols that were kidnapped, so just the bare minimum was published in the papers. At the hospital, their physical health was declared just fine, and luckily, Jihoon had no diseases. It took a long time for them to finally be released back to their members. But when they were, Officer Hwang drove them home.

All eleven members were waiting for them to arrive on their doorstep. The police station let Jisoo go home a few hours before Jihoon and Soonyoung. They stepped out of the shiny black car and Soonyoung looked down at Jihoon. He smiled faintly, then grabbed Jihoon's hand. Their members stared at them slack jawed, not daring to move. It was still and quiet until Chan started crying, then it was like a dam had broken. Members jumped up with tears in their eyes, and rushed to hug Jihoon and Soonyoung.

Seungcheol reached them first. He hugged them both then stepped back and glared at them, tears falling down his cheeks.

"Yah," he said weakly. "Don't ever do that to me again you punks." Jihoon stepped forwards and hugged Seungcheol back, much to the elders surprise. He stood there a moment, still shocked over being hugged by Jihoon, until he gently wrapped his own arms around the smaller boy. The leader stepped back to let the rest of their members bombard the two with hugs and tears.

They said their fair wells to Officer Hwang, and Jisoo talked to him for a bit before handing Officer Hwang his phone. They exchanged numbers then Officer Hwang drove off. Jeonghan, being the only one who saw this, wiggled his eyebrows at Jisoo, making him flush.

Seungcheol ushered Soonyoung and Jihoon to the couch as soon as they went inside. All the members sat in a circle around them, similar to how they sat when Jihoon revealed his past. Soonyoung rubbed Jihoon's back nervously, the younger boy looked pale and fatigued.

"Are you okay?"

"Just a little tired." Jihoon whispered back. He smiled at Soonyoung, who still looked a little worried.

"Do you guys need anything? Food? Are you hungry? Tired? Thirsty?"

"Yes, yes, and yes." Jihoon spoke rapidly, making the members laugh and relax a little. The room fell quiet as everyone stared at their two weak looking members. Jun coughed nervously.

"What do you guys want? I can make you something or we can order-"

"Chicken. Can we order chicken Hyung?" Jihoon asked quickly. Jun looked surprised, then nodded. He stood up and pulled his phone out of his pocket, then started dialing. Seungkwan popped up to get them waters. Soonyoung leaned towards Jihoon.

"Minhyuk was not a good cook." Jihoon nodded, a half smile on his face.

A half an hour later, the chicken arrived and they were all eating. Once Jihoon was done, he stared at his hands then looked seriously at his members.

"I'll go to a therapist." He told them. The piece of chicken in Seungcheol's mouth fell out.

"You will? That's good. I'll make sure to get a good one. Preferably one that can keep secrets from the press." Jihoon nodded.

"Are you sure?" Soonyoung asked quietly. Jihoon nodded again.

"I want to live a better life. A more normal life, where I'm not afraid of physical contact and strangers. I want to be able to enjoy a long life with you- you guys." Jihoon stumbled over the last part and blushed a little. Soonyoung didn't seem to catch on. His members looked at him in awe. Suddenly, a couple of the youngest jumped on him.

"Yeah! Hyung we love you so much!" Mingyu yelled. They hugged him tightly and a couple of the older members joined, with an expression that said, 'why the hell not'. After a while, they realized that Jihoon was shaking underneath them. The members pulled off of him and looked at Jihoon in bewilderment. He was crying with his face in his hands.

"What's wrong Hyung?" Seungkwan asked, serious for once. His members looked at him worriedly.

"You guys are the best thing that has ever happened to me." He sobbed. They smiled, teary again, and buried him under another hug. They pulled away after a couple of minutes and Soonyoung pulled Jihoon into a hug.

"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me too." He whispered in Jihoon's ear. Jihoon hid his bright red face in Soonyoung's chest, knowing that if he let go, he would be teased for blushing.

So he didn't let go.
