SAVE ME (BTS AU)

Part Four Connection

Suga's POV

I don't know why my parents decided to talk about me not having a birth father suddenly. And why had I never been able to read it from my mother's thoughts?
Hmm. Now that I think about it, I don't believe I've ever been able to read her mind. Or did I simply just close it off? When I'm with my friends, I hear them rambling on non-stop. Sometimes listening to them is enough to give me a headache.
I sat at the kitchen table with a bottle of whiskey. There is no chance of me sleeping tonight. The light suddenly switched on startling me. I turned to see Hoseok In the doorway still half asleep.
'Hey, Hobi.'
Hoseok screamed. Before realising I wasn't an intruder.
'Suga I forgot you were here.'
'What are you doing creeping around in the middle of the night Hobi?'
'I'm not creeping. I need water.' He poured himself a glass. 'Why are you still up?'
'Can't sleep.' I sighed.
'Oh.' Hoseok picked up the whiskey. 'That is not gonna do you any good.'
I took the bottle out of his hands. 'To me, it's a great idea.'
Hoseok sat down at the table opposite me.
'Suga, how did you not know about your dad? I mean, with your mind-reading skills.'
'I was just wondering that myself.' I smiled at him. ' Are you sure you can't read minds too?'
He grimaced. 'No, I don't think I could cope with knowing what people think about me. But then if I could I wonder, would I have been able to stop those bad things from happening to me.'
I don't think it can save you all the time. I mean, I got kidnapped so my superpower was pretty useless at that time.'
Hoseok stared at me. He opened his mouth as though to say something, then he closed it and looked away.
'Go on.' I told him. 'You can say it.'
'What's it like?'
'Its like hell sometimes. So much noise. Some people can be really boring and others rather interesting. I can turn it off too, whenever it gets too much, and I just want silence. But there are some people I can't read. Like my mum, and I've only just realised that.'
'Why do you think that is?'
I shrugged. 'No idea. Maybe she just never thinks.'
We both laughed. The kitchen door opened again, and Taehyung shuffled in.
'What's going on?' He asked us.
'Just talking Tae-Tae.' Hoseok smiled.
'Yeah.' I glared at Taehyung. 'I'm not trying to steal your boyfriend, don't panic.'
Hoseok flinched, and I regretted my bitter words.
Taehyung glared back at me. 'The thought never even crossed my mind.'
And as though to prove a point, he kissed Hoseok and shot a smug look at me.
'Don't do that in front of me, please.' I pulled a disgusted face. 'Hoseok is like a little brother to me. I don't need to see him making out.'
Hoseok and Taehyung laughed. They could see I was pretending to be annoyed. Thank God. I think I've managed to put that fire out before it could start. The last thing I wanted was to be kicked out and have to go back to my lying mother.
I'm not angry at Taehyung any more, and he really is different now. He hasn't thought one horrible thing since he and Hoseok got back together. Not even a spark of jealousy. As long as it stays that way, I don't have to intervene. I just need Hoseok to be happy. He always meant more to me than the others. We have a connection, and it really does feel like we are brothers and as big brother I must protect him.
