TAEHYYNG was pushed behind Jungkook so he was protected from the older. He could only watch as Yoongi lunched at the skater, knocking both boys down on the ground. He stood frozen on the spot as the boy he loved and the one he loves were rolling on the ground, throwing punches and kicks at each other.

Taehyung didn't know what to do. At this rate they would kill each other since neither of them were planning on backing out. With clammy hands he reached inside his pocket and dialed a number he had saved a while ago. It read 'Jiminie'. Jimin had given him his phone number after he treated his wounds, telling Taehyung that he could call him anytime he'd need help again. He definitely needed help right now.

The phone rang a few times until a soft voice spoke up.

"Taehyung?"

Jimin heard commotion in the background and instantly grew worried.

"What's going on?"

Taehyung was chewing on his bottom lip, his eyes following the fight with fear, "J-Jungkook and Yoongi are fighting. Please come and help. I can't separate them on my own".

"What!?", Jimin almost yelled, unaware of how much Taehyung flinched at his loud voice, "Where are you now?"

"The old basketball court in town".

The line on the other side immediately went dead. Taehyung glanced at the screen and saw that Jimin had ended the call.

Jimin grabbed Jin by the collar and dragged him out of the kitchen.

"Hey! What are you doing shortie?", Jin frowned, slapping the hand off him.

"You're coming with me", Jimin threw him his jacket and pulled on his own, "Taehyung called. Jungkook and Yoongi are fighting at the basketball court and he can't get them to stop".

Jin scoffed, though he followed his friend out of the door, "Yoongi would never fight unless provoked".

"You think our precious little Jeon Jungkook would fight just for fun?", the smaller boy shot him a knowing glance. Jin averted his gaze sheepishly. They jumped into the car and drove off to the basketball court that laid in the outskirts of town.

It didn't take long until they spotted the fighting men and the trembling blonde trying to stop them. Taehyung tried to get in between them but barely dodged a hit coming from Yoongi. This only angered Jungkook even more, pushing the blonde out of the fight so he wouldn't get hurt.

Taehyung was on the verge of crying until he heard shouts from behind him. Jimin and Jin ran towards him, shock evident on both faces.

"Oh my god", Jin gasped, his eyes stuck on Yoongi's aggressive figure.

"Guess you get to see his real side for once", Taehyung muttered, not really satisfied with having Jin here but also grateful Jimin brought an extra person.

Jin shot him a glare though his gaze softened when he saw how stressed out the blonde was.

"You grab Jungkook and we'll grab Yoongi", Jimin told Taehyung who nodded. He was scared Yoongi would just hurt the others and go for Jungkook again.

For Taehyung it was fairly easy to calm down Jungkook. He approached the boy who was glaring darkly at Yoongi. They heaved and sighed, too lost in thinking of a tactic to bring the other down, that they didn't notice the two extra boys on the scene. Taehyung quickly wrapped his arms around Jungkook from behind so he was backhugging the younger. Jungkook hadn't expected this and flinched, almost ready to pounce on the person behind him before he noticed just who it was.

Jimin and Jin quickly ran to Yoongi and pushed him down on the ground. Yoongi ended up on his back with Jin and Jimin sitting on him, holding his arms and legs down.

"What the fuck are you guys doing!?", he yelled with anger, fire burning in his eyes. Jin examined his crush and sighed, realizing just how stupid he had been. His gaze travelled to Taehyung who was shaking badly while Jungkook cupped his cheeks, peppering him with kisses.

"You abused Taehyung, didn't you?", Jin spoke up, looking his crush in the eye, "He isn't a violent person, he never got into fights with others, he did nothing wrong. You hit him daily didn't you?"

Yoongi scoffed but didn't answer, his attitude already telling enough.

"You're a dick".

Taehyung glanced up and mumbled, "And a small one at that".

This made the group, except for Yoongi who was still fueled with rage, laugh.

"What do we do now?", Jimin asked.

Taehyung cleared his throat and walked over to Yoongi was was angrily glaring at the sky, clenching his fists. The blonde loomed above him.

"I hope you know we've now officially broken up. I don't care what my parents will say but when they'll find out about the beatings they will surely see in this is the best for me. You've lost your money and maybe also your honor when your parents hear about your actions. I hope you rot in hell Yoongi, or should I say, ex-boyfriend".

Taehyung smiled proudly and walked away, right into the arms of Jungkook who smiled softly at him.

"I'm proud of you Taehyung", he nuzzled his nose into the soft blonde locks of the older.

"I'm pretty proud of myself too", Taehyung answered.

"Hey Taehyung?"

"Hmm?"

"Can we go on a date some time?"

"Why not?", Taehyung shrugged though a bright smile was on his face, "It's not like I have a boyfriend".

They walked away, followed by Jimin and Jin who warily eyed the grumbling Yoongi.

Jin stopped and turned back around to his once crush whose façade was stripped down until he was nothing but an ugly person.

"Just know that you lost every ounce of respect I had for you", the older spoke, "And you lost pretty much everyone".

Yoongi scoffed, "Like I care".

"Figured you'd say something like that", Jin's face stood grim, "Have a nice life being alone"

He walked away from the now single and soon-to-be-arrested Yoongi who would spend his next years in cell for killing two men and threatening, plus abusing, his ex-boyfriend.
