Save Me 2

It's been two years now. Two long, agonizing years of living in isolation with only Jin for human interaction. Still, Jin was good to Hoseok; let him listen to music, snuck him some home-cooked meals and even let him wear the garments of clothing Taehyung drops off every two weeks. He's grateful, but still lonely.

Hoseok sat in the corner of the isolation room, thinking about if he never went crazy. If he never went crazy, he would still be out there with Taehyung. They'd still be together; probably rent an apartment and save up until they could buy a proper house. He could wake up in Taehyung's arms, exactly like he used to when he spent the night with Taehyung.

He misses staying up for hours with his beautiful boy-whether he was helping him get through high school, reading with him, or just because of Taehyung's insomnia, Hoseok didn't care. All he cared about was his love that came to visit him every day.

Seokjin always told Hoseok that Taehyung came by, but that he was always out of it while he was there. "That's because of all the drugs they zombify me with," Hoseok grumbled once from his spot on the floor.

Today was just a bad day for Hoseok. All he did was curl himself up in that same spot of the isolation room and think, which brought on the tears. This always happened when he thought about what could have been.

"Hey, Hoseok. I have a surprise for you," Jin said when he opened the door. "What, come to dope me up to were I can't feel?" Hoseok grumbled, glaring at the wall opposite of him. There was a gasp, then careful footsteps made their way towards Hoseok. "Oh, my Hobi-hyung. My Angel..."

Hoseok knew that voice. He knew that voice well. He lifted his head to be face-to-face with Kim Taehyung; his beautiful boyfriend. "Tae..." he whispered, reaching a hand out to him. Taehyung smiled down at him and took his hand, sitting down and pulling Hoseok into his lap. "Hi, Angel. I'm here now. I'm here," the younger boy whispered as Hoseok buried his face in the folds of his boyfriend's jumper; it must be winter outside.

"I-I miss y-you," Hoseok whimpered, hugging Taehyung as if he would disappear if he let go. Taehyung sighed and combed his fingers through Hoseok's slightly unruly chestnut hair, planting a kiss into it gently. "I miss you, too. God, Angel. What've they done to you?" he asked, placing light touches on the scars where the electrodes have been. "Shock-therapy. I-it d-d-didn't work. Only made me worse." Taehyung just simply nodded, placing a kiss on one of the scars. "Your session was scheduled for my psychology class. I was there. Your screams keep me up at night," he whispered, rocking Hoseok back and forth gently.

Hoseok's blood went cold. Taehyung was there. That poor boy. His boyfriend shouldn't have to suffer like that; he was probably scarred for life. "I'm sorry," Hoseok whimpered, planting a small kiss on the underside of Taehyung's jaw, the way he knew Taehyung loved. "No, Angel. Don't ever say that to me. It wasn't your fault; none of this was. I love you and nothing will change that," Taehyung said sternly, squeezing Hoseok's shoulder lightly. "I love you too," Hoseok replied, sniffling a little and relaxing even further into Taehyung's arms.

Jin came back a few minutes later, toting the orange bookbag that Hoseok brought with him when he first came here. "Tae, if you want this to happen, we have to leave now. You're not even supposed to be here, anyways," he said, trying to hide his smile. "Where are we going?" Hoseok asked, looking from Taehyung to Jin multiple times.

"Isn't it obvious?" Jin asked, "We're busting you out." Hoseok stared in shock at Taehyung, who was smiling widely. "I love you," the younger boy said, kissing Hoseok's forehead gently. For the first time since he went crazy, Hoseok felt safe; free.

[Ten years later...]

Hoseok sat on the rocks, watching Taehyung splash around in the surf with their two kids, Devin and Hanna. They adopted the twins four years after Hoseok was freed from the Home. The first year back in the outside world was tough; Hoseok had multiple episodes where he'd tried to harm himself and Taehyung-he still had them-but the younger helped him through it every time.

He had a bad week, so Taehyung decided a weekend at the beach would help Hoseok calm down and forget what happened for a while. Taehyung was always full of great ideas.

"Hobi-Appa! Look!" his daughter, Hanna, squealed excitedly as she carefully made her way over to Hoseok with something clasped in between her small hands. "What is it, baby?" Hoseok asked excitedly, smiling wide when Hanna stopped right in front of him. "Tae-Appa told me to give this to you," she said, opening her hands. A single pearl rested in the little girl's palm, small and perfect. "Take it!" Hanna squealed, bouncing up and down on her heels.

"It's so pretty, baby. Tae-Appa found this for me?" Hoseok asked, looking over Hanna's shoulder to see Taehyung coaxing Devin to lay down in the water with him. He smiled lovingly, adoring Taehyung and everything he was. The boy was definitely something. "He said it reminded him of you; how perfect you are," Hanna explained, planting a small kiss on Hoseok's cheek.

"Wow. Tell him thank you for me," Hoseok said, hugging his daughter tightly after setting the pearl somewhere safe. The little girl ran off to lay in the surf with Taehyung and Devin, who was giggling happily.

If it weren't for Kim Taehyung, Jung Hoseok would be dead. He would never have left the Home; he would have killed himself in there. But Taehyung was there, and thanks to him, Hoseok got to experience life like he'd always wanted. Taehyung saved Hoseok, and nothing could be more rewarding than this beautiful moment in Jung Hoseok's life.

Please request, guys. I need some inspiration. I want to do some Yoonmin stuff, but I have legit nothing. Do you guys want more domestic oneshots, like this became near the end? Do you guys want more mini-series like this story? PLEASE HELP. For now, Happy Days.
