Yoongi POV

   Yoongi arrived home from an exhausting day at school, tripping over his own feet while going through the doorway. He walked up to his room and set his things down, collapsing on his bed and curling up, closing his eyes. He lied there in silence, relaxation hitting him.

After a few hours, Yoongi jumped harshly after hearing the front door slam. He cursed himself as he had forgotten to lock his bedroom door when he had gotten home from school. His father seemed to have been in a bad mood today. He heard his father's stomps on the stairs, getting louder as his father got closer to his bedroom door, swinging it open causing the younger to flinch.

"What is wrong with you huh?" His father slurred as he pointed a finger at the boy. "You're such a pussy! How did I raise such a weak, brat? What? You still don't have anything to say? Huh?!" Yoongi bit his lip as his father screamed at him, getting closer.

All that could be heard in the bedroom were blows to skin and bone, and loud curses and harsh words as Yoongi was beaten by his father.

It was now 1am as Yoongi lie on his bed, staring at the ceiling with emptiness. His father had gone to bed after giving the younger a few blows to the stomach and a bruised cheek, which was paired with a split lip. He knew the bruises would get darker and worse. He decided that he wasn't going to go to school that upcoming morning. He didn't want Jimin to worry. He couldn't let Jimin get involved, possibly getting hurt too.

Jimin POV

Jimin headed to class as he hadn't seen Yoongi that morning, thinking he probably slept in or something. He sat down in his seat and waited, scrolling through social media.

Minutes passed and soon enough class started but there was no Yoongi. Jimin decided to text him.

Jimin
Hey Yoongi, are you not at school today? Are you alright?

   Jimin sighed after he still didn't get a reply, class already ended and him heading to lunch. He walked to his usual table and sat down, waving at the others and smiling half heartedly. Then he felt a buzz in his back pocket.

Yoongi
Hey, sorry I just saw this. Yeah I'm okay, I just wanted to stay home today because I didn't sleep well. Don't worry :)

   Jimin smiled as he sighed in relief.

Jimin
Alright. As long as you're okay! Try to get some rest, please? I hope I see you tomorrow :)

Yoongi POV

   Yoongi sighed after turning his phone off, turning over as he winced, pain shooting through his whole body. He closed his eyes as he curled up, trying to relax. He remembered to lock his door this time.

Yoongi POV

It was the next day and Yoongi has decided he would go to school. He thought of an excuse for his face. He took his clothes with him and walked out of the room, going towards the bathroom, his father gone for work. He stumbled into the bathroom and set the clothes on the counter. He did his routine and began to strip out of his clothes. He stared at his reflection, bursts of blues and purples spread across his chest and face. He didn't bother to clean the cut on his lip, it would just get irritated and bleed again. He groaned in pain as he began to dress himself.

When he got to school he was immediately met with strange looks and whispers from the students around him.

"Oh my god did he get in a fight?"
"He must be pretty dangerous."
"Who do you think he fought?"

Yoongi sighed to himself as he kept walking to his class.

Jimin POV

When Jimin walked into class, excited to see Yoongi, his smile dropped as he was met with a sight he definitely didn't expect. He immediately ran over to Yoongi and sat down.

"Oh my god! Yoongi are you okay? What happened?"

Yoongi started writing on a piece of paper, sliding it over to Jimin.

It's nothing, I'm fine. I wasn't paying attention and tripped going down the stairs yesterday. Don't worry.

Jimin looked at Yoongi skeptically but still couldn't help worrying. He carefully grabbed Yoongi's hand, not knowing if he was okay with being touched. "Can I please take you to the bathroom and clean you up a bit or something? It'll make me feel better. You look horrible, no offense. And I'm sure you've been getting looks and whispers. I can cover the bruise and stuff." Jimin said smiling. Yoongi pondered for a moment but eventually gave in and nodded his head.

Narrator POV

Jimin dragged Yoongi to the bathroom who was stumbling his steps. "Sit down." Jimin ordered and Yoongi carefully sat down, trying not to wince in pain, but failing. Yoongi panicked as Jimin turned around, having heard Yoongi. He looked at the ground as Jimin helped him up, carefully. Jimin stared at Yoongi worriedly, the older still avoiding his gaze. Jimin cleared his throat before asking a question he was reluctant to ask.

"Yoongi, please lift your shirt."

Yoongi's eyes widened slightly, panic surging through him as he began shaking slightly. Jimin noticed this and slowly grabbed the older's hand, drawing circles with his thumb. "Yoongi what's wrong?" Jimin asked in a soft voice as Yoongi just shook his head, shaking growing worse. "Hey it's alright, it's okay, I'm here. You don't need to worry." Jimin softly spoke as he pulled Yoongi into his grasp, hugging him tight, but not tight enough to hurt him, stroking his fingers through the older's hair, trying to soothe him and hopefully calm him down. Yoongi closed his eyes slowly, leaning into Jimin's touch.

After Yoongi had calmed down and stopped shaking, they pulled apart and looked at the floor awkwardly. Jimin walked over and placed a hand on the older's shoulder, frowning when Yoongi flinched again. He decided to brush it off and ask him about it when the older was more comfortable with him and could trust him.

"Yoongi.. please lift your shirt? I just want to help.." Jimin asked carefully, noticing how the older tensed. He reached for Yoongi's hand, trying to calm him down. After a few minutes of silence, Yoongi pulled his hand away and slowly reached for the hem of his shirt. Jimin watched in shock but quickly calmed down and nodded his head to urge the other forward. What Jimin saw made his mouth fall open.

He knew that this wasn't caused by mere stairs.
