Exulansis

Chapter 14

"Is that all?" Jungkook asked, gesturing to the black trash bag yoongi clutched tightly in one hand, the other held a rough looking book.

Yoongi nodded before getting into the car.
He sat in the back seat, Jimin and Jungkook were in the front.

"Now, we ready to go?" Jimin asked in a cheery voice as he looked back at the quiet boy.

Like before yoongi responded only with a simple nod.

Was this real? Is this actually happening?

After being released from hospital, the married couple had decided that yoongi would stay with them.
They also promised Dr Byun that yoongi would attend his therapy sessions. Yoongi was nervous, he didn't disagree with the idea of getting help, but that didn't make him any less scared of opening up to a stranger.

Yoongi wanted to thank the pair, show them his gratitude, but if he was honest, it was all a little overwhelming.
One second these two men are strangers, the next they take over his life like parents or something? Sure they're only trying to help, but yoongi couldn't help but feel like everything was happening whether he liked it or not.

Not to mention the confusing emotions yoongi felt around the pair.
Sometimes they were like parents, advising him what to do in a caring manner, other times they're like his friend, being silly and funny with him, and then sometimes it's something else. Something yoongi couldn't quite pin. It stirred an odd feeling in his gut.

The trio arrived back at the house. The married couple got out, eager to welcome yoongi into their home. They couldn't describe it, but they cared greatly for the boy. Whether it was like a guardian or brother, or maybe something more they did not know, but regardless they cared for him all the same.

Yoongi hesitated, he had to take some deep breaths before placing his hand slowly on the car handle.
Relax, it's only temporary.

Yoongi stood at the end of the path, looking up at the gorgeous two-storey house. He appreciated its old yet homey vibe.
Yoongi stared at his feet. Okay. Breathe.

"Yoongi? You okay?"

It's Jimin-hyung. Yoongi could tell, despite barely hearing the older man as he was busy keeping his eyes focused on his dirt destroyed shoes.

"Hey, relax. Take your time. We can wait as long as you like." Jimin ran his hand up and down the youngers arm, trying to soothe the boy.
Jimin understood that this was a lot. At first he was harsh to the boy, but that was merely him mourning the loss of his flowers. Now he can see that the boy has truly suffered in life, and probably deserves a break from being treated like crap.
So Jimin waited, as did Jungkook. Both standing in the garden patiently as they waited for the younger to be ready.

After a solid two minutes of calm breathing yoongi finally raised his head.
He gave a small nod to Jimin and whispered a small "sorry".

Jimin reassured the boy that he was alright and should take all the time he needed.

Yoongi really appreciated their patience, knowing he himself wouldn't have waited as they did.

Yoongi then waked into the familiar house, except now it was for different reasons. Now he was living there.

Jungkook opened the door and led yoongi inside, like he'd done the first time yoongi came over.
Different than normal however, they headed upstairs. Yoongi recognised the door that was taehyungs room.

"As you probably remember that's Tae's room, and this next one is ours." Jimin quickly opened the second door, revealing a large double bedroom. Yoongi nodded, taking in the pretty room.
