No thank you (Taegi)

#grumpyoldtrutle

Taehyung shifted in bed at the sound of soft sniffling. The tight  grip on his hand growing tighter by the second .

"I'm sorry Tae. I'm sorry. I'm sorry...."  the whimpering broken voice repeated over and over and over again. Tae slowly opened his eyes and sat up, a small hiccup escaping his lips.

A small Orange ball of fluff rested beside him. His heart broke at the sight. His best friend sobbing uncontrolaby at his side. He gently stroked his Hobi's head.

"What are you apologizing for Hobi?" His voice was as low as a whisper but the older surly heard it. Hoseoks head shot up. His hair  was a mess and there were dark circles under his eyes. Taehyung couldn't hold back his smile.

"TAEHYUNG!" Hoseok jumped at him, pulling him into a tight hug.

" You miss me sunshine?" Taehyung giggled.

"Of course I missed you. Your my only friend." Hobi pulled back and flicked Taes forehead " Idiot! How could you leave me for a week.. You need to be more careful." Hoseok stiffened when he saw Taes smile suddenly fall. He shouldn't be so harsh on him. He just woke up.

" What happened?" Tae asked looking around the room. Everything was white and warm greys. He was laying up in a hospital bed attached to a drip    and beeping monoters. His gaze shifted towards the drawn curtains. It was pitch black outside. Only the little glowing dots of passing cars and late workers left.  He turned back to Hoseok.  The last thing he remembered was having to walk home from school.

"You don't remember?" Hobi allowed Taes hand to drop from his. A creaking sound came from the door and both looked up. Jungkook, jiwoo and another unknown boy stood staring at the two. Jungkook was the first to break the silence when he ran up to Tae.

"Tae!I'm so glad your awake!"he leaned in closer to whisper where the others wouldn't hear."your brothers went to take your parents home. They haven't left your side since the accident. They said they will be back later." Taehyung stared confused at Jungkook. One he wanted to know how jungkook and jiwoo were here with the tall mint haired boy at the door. Was he a ghost too? Second he wanted to know what accident he was talking about.

"WHAT!" Jiwoo yelped from beside Hobi. She turned to Tae with wide eyes."you don't remember what happened?" She exclaimed.  Hoseok told her.

Tae only shook his head. He genuinely didn't remember. That's when the boy  at the door with the black skinny framed glasses spoke up. He had fluffy  mint green hair and deathly pale skin. His face had a sour expression on it like he didn't want to be there. His scowl only grew deeper when he looked at Taehyung.

" I took pictures if you want to see them." It didn't sound like a question. It sounded more like a statement, like He would still have to look at them anyway. Jungkook angrily shot forward and gripped the boys collar.

" I swear to God if you show him those pictures I'll kill you." He growled in the boys face. The other only smirked. It was a wicked smirk too.

" What exactly are you gonna do? Huh? ....kookie? What can a dead boy do?" Jungkook shoved him away at the mention of his nickname. Oh....this must be the person Hoseok was talking about. The other person with the sight.

" um....i would like to see them." Taehyung said peeping from behind Kookies tall figure. Hoseok sat silently beside Taes bed with Jiwoo in his lap.

The strange boy swagged over and pulled a camera out of his sleek black shell backpack. He place the camera right up in Taes face and began scrolling through the photos. Dozens and dozens of photos . Tae jerked back away from the camera and covered his eyes. He didn't want to see anymore. The memories came rushing back to him. He was raped by his classmate luhan.  The boy had called him names like 'slut and whore ' . He scratched him and bit him and made him suffer. His cries for help falling on deaf ears,......even though there was someone there. Taehyung looked up from his shaking hands. Jiwoo had her face bearied in Hobi's chest. Jungkook was staring down at his feet. His black fringe hiding all his features.

"Why didn't you help me?" Tae asked lowly. This mint haired boy was there, he stood by and watched tae get assaulted. He even took photos.

"Isn't it obvious. Kim Taehyung. The perfect 'A ' student. Transferred from Daegu being the top of his class. He has a perfect little privelaged life, even gifted with something as extraordinary as the sight. You take advantage of all of it and I'm here to make you suffer. I'm going to ruin your life. I hate little gay pricks like you. You are everything that's wrong with the world today. Enjoy your happiness while you have it. " the boy finished his rant and walked to the door stopping just before his hand touched the knob" you can owe it all to me. Min yoongi. Oh! And you better free up some space on you calender. Luhan says he wants to make another date with you." Yoongi winked at Tae as he shut the door. All four of them sat in silence.

" that evil grumpy old turtle! Who does he think he is. THAT MOTHERF- "

"JUNGKOOK LANGUAGE! There are children in this hospital!" Jiwoo shouted . Jungkook glared at the door where yoongi left.

"Kookie it's okay! You don't need to get so worked up." Tae said standing next to jungkook. He had gotten up to hug him. He really needed one. He shoved his face in the crook of the raven heads neck. He smelt like pine trees and shaving cream.

" kookie how come the police were able to see you when they came to help me?" Tae asked . He was trying to get his mind off of what that old grumpy  fossil said to him. Get his mind off the fact that at total stranger took his virginity.

Jungkook looked at Taehyung with a sad expression. He's been through so much. This kid never got a break. He slid down on Taes bed and pulled him into his lap.  Jungkook rolled up his long sleeve and showed tae a bracelet on his hand. I was a shiny black leather that was tied around a small heart shaped piece of glass. Jiwoo lifted her arm and showed off the same bracelet. It kinda looks like couple bracelets and that made tae a little sad.

" Hoseok gave Jiwoo and I these bracelets. The glass is made from Camera lenses.  Apparently it's something to do with what the make the lense with. If even a piece touched our skin people without the sight can sense our presence and focus on us."

" I find it strange." Jiwoo chimed in.
Hoseok leaned back in the chair and yawned. Tae nodded slowly until a thought hit him. He jumped up catching all of his friends attention.

" ok so we know that normal people can only see you through a camera or with the bracelet. And we know that it's only people who have died saving loved ones who get to come back. But don't you guys find it strange that all the people with the sight have strange coloured hair. Me .....yoongi, and Hoseok." He stated.

Everyone looked at each other liked the hadn't realized this before.
" that's true isn't it. You have white hair. Hoseok said yoongi always had green hair. Doctors used to run a bunch of tests on him to find out why. But .....hoseok doesn't have the sight? " jungkook added.

Taehyung smiled brightly.
" but his mom does! Hobi isn't your mom's hair the same Orange colour as yours?"

Hoseok nodded. He was all ears now.

" yes? So whenever your around Jiwoo or jungkook do you feel anykind of sensation?"
Hoseok scrunched up his face in thought.

" yeah I guess...its kinda like I get a tingle feeling behind my ears and if I squint I can see a blury outline." He answered proving Taehyungs point.

"Ok so what I'm getting at here is that maybe sometimes the sight can be passed down, but not fully . Maybe that's how we can possibly find others with the sight. Their hair colour!"

A goofy smile appeared on Hoseoks face." So she can see Jiwoo. I always though she was going crazy from loss when she said she was talking to her. Noona why didn't you tell me?"

Jiwoo shrugged her shoulders" I didn't think it mattered "

Everyone laughed triumphantly.  They had figured out another piece of crutial information....well at least tae did. There talk about a trip to the ice cream shop when tae is released was interrupted when tae  shouted at Jungkook.

" if only people who saved a love one come back....then Why did you?" Jungkook smiled running his hand through Taes hair. His roots were starting to turn their natural white colour.

"I did. Even if you don't realize how."
