Yoongi eyed the phone with extreme nervousness it was as if the phone will do something to him which would scare the crap out of him, he was sweating like crazy. He wasn't sure if this was a good idea.
Everyone was sitting in a circle and the phone was in the middle settled as if it were their most prized possession. Yoongi wasn't the only one nervous in this group of handsome men.
"Okay, you have to call your mother so we can make sure Nev is there" Namjoon said passing the phone to Yoongi as all of them wanted him to talk to his mother. It would be way to awkward if any other would talk to her as they have never met her before.
Yoongi cringed in nervousness, everyone else were greatly surprised bcz they have never seen him this nervous before not even on a blind date. Which apparently didn't go so well, but that story is for another day.
Jin ushered him to go ahead and just do it, "Stop pressuring me!!" Yoongi snapped at his hyung, "Then what should I?, we have been sitting our butts on this hard floor for more than half an hour, and let me tell you its not very pleasant so please have some mercy on our precious ass and man up!!" Jin spoke matter-of-fact-ly.
"Yah!, it's not my fault that I am nervous bcz the asshole who keeps lurking in the shadows told me to not even contact my family or else my balls won't be a part of my body anymore" He said referring to the person who keeps an eye on them.
They gave him a name 'The asshole who keeps lurking in the shadows' but Jungkook is the only one who knows who he is, but he hasn't told his hyungs that he knows him.
"Hyung please, I really need her" Jungkook said with pleading eyes, Yoongi's eyes softened at his vulnerable position, "yeah we can see that" Taehyung said looking at Jungkook from head to toe, referring that he hasn't showered probably in days and his hair is greasy and everything that is wrong with him since she left.
Jungkook embarrassingly looked down and shifted awkwardly in his position, everyone chuckled at his attempts.
After a few more minutes of eyeing Yoongi as he reaches out for the phone and all of their eyes lit up but then he pulls his hand back and everybody groans in dissatisfaction, and another few minutes of yawning sprawled on the floor staring at the ceiling thinking 'who am I?' 'Where am I?'
After a full hour Yoongi finally grabbed the phone and started dialing his mothers number everybody's eyes was on him, some where biting their nails as a sign of 'bitch I am nervous' and some were totally chill cuz they weren't the one talking on the phone and taking in the stress.
"Hello mother" Yoongi said quietly and started looking here and there, "Yoongi is that you?, why haven't you been calling me, where are you?!, still in Korea?" His mother bombarded Him with questions filled with worry.
He kept looking here and there in order to keep his tears stored in his eyes where they won't show his weak side, he was overwhelmed to finally hear his mothers voice even when it was full of concern.
"Yes mom it's me, I-I was just calling to ask if-if Neveah has moved back to Australia?" He stuttered and struggled to keep his eyes free of tears. Their eyes softened at Yoongi and felt bad, they all understand his situation as they haven't been contacting their parents as well, it's not that they weren't allowed its just that they didn't have much time.
They were confused as to why Yoongi was the only one who wasn't allowed to contact his parents, he was only listening because if he tried to go against his command, what he was threatened about was really terrifying. 'The asshole who keeps lurking in the shadows' threatened all of them if they didn't do as they said he would kill Neveah and of course nobody wanted that.
Another thing they were confused and suspicious about was, why was he doing all on this to her?, did he have any unfinished business with her?. Why is he against Neveah?
Jungkook felt the worse because he knew who was behind his hyungs tears, and he couldn't do anything about it, he didn't want to hurt 'The asshole who keeps lurking in the shadows', but he can't reveal why just yet.
And the worst part is that asshole doesn't know that Yoongi is contacting his mother, but he would do anything to finally meet his sister who he hurt emotionally. This was extremely heart-whelming.
"Yoongi honey are you okay?" She was now even more concerend as she heard her son's trembling voice. "I am fine eomma, can you please answer my question?" He said in a calm voice.
"*sigh* yes she is here" His mom finally revealed the answer to which they were all longing to here for a while now, they all looked really happy and satisfied with that and Jimin and Taehyung even high five-d.
"But can you please tell me what is wrong with her?" And their happiness went flushing down the toilet, they looked at each other confused. "What do you mean?" Yoongi asked the question which was written on everyone's faces.
"She has changed a lot, she doesn't talk to me, well she doesn't talks to anyone, goes to the club everyday and asks for money every month, why has she changed like that, what happened in Korea?" His mom's voice went from concern to stern at the end of her list of questions.
Everyone eyed each other shocked and surprised, they exactly knew who was responsible for her dramatic change, Yoongi got anxious as his mother waited for answer and he could imagine her tapping her foot with a serious look on her face.
He couldn't tell her or he is toast, his mother adores Neveah to much if she happens to know about this, he knows death is way more near than 50 years.
"Ah, *makes fake noises for bad signal*, um eomma there's a weak signal *fake noise* I have to go annyeong" He cut the call before his mother makes everyone deaf by her high pitched screaming.
"Well shit" Taehyung said, rubbing his forehead he felt even more worse than before if that is possible, they all were in a pool of stress and concern, they all knew they were the cause of her change.
Well except Jungkook, it wasn't his Hyungs fault it was his and 'The asshole who keeps lurking in the shadows' he wanted to tell his Hyungs about that but he didnt wanted to at the same time.
Jungkook's eyes stung with tears as he couldn't hold his tears, he excused himself and fast walked to his room and locked it behind him, his back slid down the door as new tears trickle down his face.
It was like a daily ritual for him to cry in the memory of Neveah, but he wasn't the only one suffering and missing the other one, their other missing part. Neveah was a mess too. As she didn't want to show that, she didn't wanted to be vulnerable anymore. So she hid that side of her under all of the layers of hatred. She dug up a deep hole and buried all of her emotions and became emotionless.
He laid down on his bed and let himself cry to sleep as he always does.

Taehyung opened the door of Jungkook, he had a spare key to his room because Jungkook often locks his room.
Everybody looked at him with soft eyes, they had to look at their golden maknae cry himself to sleep always. They looked at his pillow which was socked with salty tears.
Sometimes they would see his thin trembling figure, he would always hug a pillow.
Jimin closed his door and all of them walked back to the living room. There was silence for a few minutes but Jin broke it.
"Looks like we're paying a visit to Australia"
