Yoongi slowly took Taehyung by the hand and led him outside to sit on the bench nearby. He was trembling and shivering while Yoongi offered nothing but soft strong words and a warm embrace to make him feel safe again. Yoongi turned his attention at the sound of footsteps to find RM running towards them, his face white and eyes large and alert. He looked desperately at Yoongi, hoping he would say it was a lie, and then kneeled in front of Tae who whose eyes had been fixated on his hands in his lap.

"Tae....are you...okay" RM asked, pain evident in his voice. He knew Tae was not okay, but what else could he say.

"Its going to be okay Tae, we will take you to the doctor...okay.." RM said, noticing a small nod and a couple of fresh tears fall onto Tae's lap. Before RM could continue, he was called upon and went with Jungkook and some gaurds to the scene of the crime.

As the hustle increased, Taehyung was starting to gain some of his senses back. It felt like he could finally hear and feel Yoongi's prescence. As RM came back, Taehyung actually looked up.

But what he said, broke his Hyung's heart into million pieces.

"...I swear....I didn't ask for it Hung..." Tae said, his voice pleading, as if asking for forgiveness for something he did wrong.

"I know Tae, I know, ...its okay.." RM said, as his eyes filled to the brim to the face of his shattered daesang.

Jungkook had joined back and kneeled down next to RM.

"It's okay Hyung...everything is going to be okay, he will pay for this...he will never hurt you again..." Jungkook said with voice strong beyond his years and determination fresh in his eyes.

Tae moved his eyes onto to Jungkook.

"...I...I did not want it...I swear, I didn't ask for it...I swear RM, I didn't' Taehyung begged as he looked to RM again, as if he was afraid he would be reprimanded for causing trouble. It made RM's chest heavy, over the pleading broken words of Taehyung, and doubting if he had even led Taehyung to believe to fear him as a leader if something bad happened. He was starting to question why Taehyung felt like apologizing to him, why was his presence making Tae plead like that. Guilt was gripping strong in RM and Yoongi could read it, and he knew what was going through RM's mind was probably some guilt trip masking RM's regret at not being able to protect Tae.

Yoongi gestured RM and JungKook to move out of the way as he sat down in front of Tae, who looked at him with vulnerable doe eyes.

"Tae...why do you keep saying, You did not want this...we know you didn't ....why do you think , we would think you wanted this..? Asked Yoongi as softly and slowly as possible.

"He...he said...I was gay...that I asked for it, ...I wwaas smiling at him, ...that I ...was leading him...on....I swear I wasn't...I didn't" Tae dropped down, his voice sounding unsure as it trailed off.

Yoongi clenched his jaw. The bastard made him believe this was his fault Yoongi closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm compose himself again. Looking at RM, he could feel the same understanding going through his eyes.

"Tae....look at me..." Yoongi said once again in a sweet, loving voice. Taeyung didn't look up, tears falling once again in his lap. Yoongi knew he had to let Tae know now before he convinved himself completely of the need to be ashamed and responsible for the crime. Yoongi softly lifted Tae's head by the chin, caressing his cheek.

"This is ...not..your Fault..." Yoongi stared right into those brown orbs, letting his words slowly sink in.

"This is not your fault, you did not ask for it, you did not initiate it....he was a bastard who tried to hurt you....don't believe that monster over me ...okay?"Yoongi said with a small sad smile, eyes held evenly.

Taehyung's lip started to quiver as Yoongi's words started breaking the storm of guilt and blame that was brewing inside him. It was as if Yoongi had seen right into his deepest corner of his soul that was tearing away at itself. Taehyung hung his head and rested it on Yoongi's shoulder before letting it all out. He started bawling like a child, more out of relief than pain.

Yoongi rubbed his back, Jungkook sniffed hard as tears streaked his cheeks, and RM simply turned away, concealing whatever mess of emotions he had. But Yoongi needed to make sure that Taehyung understand completely. He could not let even a freckle of doubt remain in the boy's head. He once again held Tae's face in his hands, and looked at him with a steady gaze.

"Tae...I need you to say it...I need you to say that it is not your fault..." Yoongi said with a voice steadier than before

Taehyung knew he needed it too. "It...it...is not my fault..." Taehyung said between sobs and repeated it multiple times before he knew he believed it.
