Jungkook sat outside Taehyung's door, half asleep. He was so tired because all he did was worry. For Taehyung and for their selves.

Jungkook forced Jimin to go to bed, but Jungkook sneakily stayed up to make sure Taehyung was okay.

It was around the middle of the night when Jungkook heard Taehyung crying and what sounded like thrashing. Jungkook jumped up and ran inside the room, running over and trying get Taehyung to calm down.

He was thrashing and crying in his sleep, mumbling things Jungkook didn't understand. Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's shoulders and shook him, "Taehyung! It's just a dream!"

Suddenly Taehyung's eyes flew opened and he shouted loudly, his foot kicking Jungkook's stomach on accident.

Jungkook huffed and fell back as Taehyung started to sob. Jimin ran into the room, looking over the sene with wide eyes.

"What happen?"

Taehyung just cried and got up, stumbling as he passed Jimin and Jungkook, going to the bathroom and slamming he door.

Jungkook stood up, angrily kicking the recliner next to him, "Fuck!"

Jimin sighed and grabbed Jungkook's arm, "What happen?"

Jungkook just frowned as his eyes got watery, "He's just a kid," he hiccups, "we are all just kids!"

Jimin frowns, "I know."

"No! We shouldn't be going through this! He should not have gone through any of the shit he has!" Jungkook yells, pointing at the door, "he's a kid and he has been through more stuff that most people will go through in a lifetime!"

Jimin nods, looking up at Jungkook's with sympathy. He agrees with everything he's saying.

"Why did this happen? Why? He didn't deserve this!" Jungkook was yelling loudly, and Jimin worries his parents would hear from their room two floors down.

Jimin puts his hand on Jungkook's face, trying to calm him down. Jungkook was angrily crying, his teeth clenched, but he thankfully leaned into Jimin's touch, "I know this, Jungkook. We can't start screaming, though. We just have to be there for him."

"He doesn't deserve this," Jungkook whispers as he cries. Jimin wipes his tears away and nods, "I know."

Taehyung was outside of the door, leaning against the wall, listening as his own tears fell.

Those two cared too much for Taehyung that they suffocated him. He doesn't understand why they do. Taehyung was just a burden.

Jimin and Jungkook get woken when Yoongi comes by the next day.

He kicks their feet, waking them up as they cuddled in bed. They talk for a bit, just so they could catch up on things before Yoongi goes to see Taehyung.

"Is he eating?" Yoongi asks, crossing his arms.

"No," Jimin says as he shakes his head, "the last time he ate was like two days ago."

Jungkook sighs sadly, "He shouldn't starve himself."

Yoongi shakes his head, "That's not the reason he isn't eating. His appetite is gone. I bet all he can think about was what those fucking rapist did to him," Yoongi says, his voice venomous.

"What did they do to him? You saw it, didn't you?"

Yoongi looks away and blinks hard, "You don't want to know what I saw."

"Please, Yoongi," Jungkook begs, "I need to know."

Yoongi licks his dry lips and looks down, "Jungkook, if I tell you what I saw you would go on a rampage because you're a dumbass," Yoongi says, "that's not what we need right now."

Jungkook glares at him, "You blame me for getting angry? You fucking murdered someone because you were angry!"

Yoongi snapped his eyes up, his glare piercing through Jungkook, "Hell yes I did! I would do it again too. That man had his fucking dick inside Taehyung when he didn't want it!"

Jungkook scowled and looked away in anger. He couldn't bare the thought of another man forcing himself into one of the people he loved. Jimin has his hands cupped around his mouth in shock mostly. He didn't want the image in his mind, even though he needed to know what happened.

"You two don't understand," Yoongi hisses, "that I do things for a reason."

Yoongi then shoves past them to go to Taehyung's room. When he gets there, he opens Taehyung's door and quietly goes inside.

Yoongi hesitantly walks in, and Taehyung sits up. Yoongi clenches his jaw at Taehyung's beat up face. This is the first time he's actually seen him since that day. He's always stayed outside the door to respect his wishes, but now he couldn't not see him anymore. He walks over until he sits on the ends of the bed.

"Taehyung," Yoongi sadly whispers, reaching out to touch his face, but Taehyung flinches back.

Yoongi puts his hand down and sighs, "Your face is healing."

Taehyung glances at the ajar door and he knows his boyfriends are listening. They always seem to be lingering around. And it has become a problem.

"And?"

Yoongi frowns at his answer, "Kid, healing is good."

Taehyung sighs, "Yoongi," Taehyung whispers, slowly reaching out to take Yoongi's hand, "I-I'm not healing."

Yoongi sees Taehyung's hand and grabs it for him and holds it tightly, "Why do you say that?"

Taehyung breathes deeply, "Can I come stay with you?"

Suddenly the door opens and Jimin asks in with a hurt expression, "No! You aren't leaving us!"

"Jimin, I need to go."

"What? No! We are your boyfriends! We take care of you! I don't—"

"I'm going to Yoongi's," Taehyung says, not even letting Jimin finish his sentence.

Jungkook frowns, "I don't think it's best."

"If you don't let me go I'm—"

"What Taehyung? You're going to what?" Jimin asks, his voice showing his hurt.

Taehyung answers with a shaky voice.

"I'm scared I'm going to kill myself."

Guys I promise it won't stay sad forever. Taehyung just needs time. He's confused and he need to breathe. He's hurt.

How do you guys feel about Jungkook's little melt down? And what Yoongi said? And what Tae said?
