You can tell how dangerous
a person is
by the way they
hold their anger inside themselves
quietly

"We all were separated from our parents in one way or the other..and all we wanted was someone to a support pillar for us. And that person was Tae hyung—"

Jihoon said, looking down at his intervened hands and sighed softly through his nose.

"Wow" Was all the Seokjin could let out after hearing the story. Jihoon chuckled softly and then said,"We usually had a curfew on any holiday, so Taehyung would always get 'sick' and then spend the whole time with us in the dormitory"

Jimin chuckled a little and then their heads snapped up when the door of the single room creaked open. Taehyung limped out, his wrists were bandages and he had a thin white shirt on with first three button open, underneath the shirt his chest was wrapped up in bandages. His brown hair were messy and fell into his eyes, a purple-blue bruise on his left cheek bone and a few cuts here and there.

"Don't make me look like a santa fucking clause" Taehyung muttered in a rusty voice. Jihoon chuckled while the boys stared at the brunette with dry throat. Not sure if they were worried about the injuries of the boy, or low key turned on by his exposed legs and that snake tattoo that curled on his left mid thigh, the snake was coiled around a flower vine, it's head facing up, fangs open and its body slender and graceful yet dangerous; just like the person himself.

"What you staring at?" Taehyung asked as his nose scrunched up,"Jihoon doesn't has anything that would fit me"

"No..ah...y-you have a...a tattoo?" Jungkook asked finally, not wanting the older to get the wrong idea.
"Oh this..." Taehyung looked down at the snake and frowned a little,"Yeah I have it since I was sixteen"

"We never knew" Yoongi said.

"I never told you" Taehyung said with a shrug but then his eyes darkened in a split second,"—and from that I remember, didn't I tell you guys not to come?"

"And you were doing quite well off without us" Hoseok said sarcastically and rolled his eyes,"Fighting off the bad guys asses"

"I would have if I wanted to" Taehyung spat,"There was no fuckin need of you to come back"

"Tae stop now" Seokjin yelled and felt his heartbeat skip when Taehyung did a unnoticeable flinch.
"Stop what?" He asked, his voice now softer but more dangerous.

"If we want to help you, then just let us do it!" Seokjin said,"We came back for you"

"There was no need" Taehyung said calmly.

"Don't you want to take a revenge for your sister!" Jungkook cried,"Why are you so eager to die?!"

Taehyung mumbled something under his breath that the boys couldn't quite catch.
"What?" Namjoon asked.

"I said it's not easy" Taehyung said meekly,"It's not easy to live with the guilt"
"What guilt? It's not your fault that they killed so many people for the stones" Yoongi said and watched at the corner of his eye as Jihoon got up from the couch.

"It's not about the people Yoongi..." Taehyung said calmly but yet his voice had a broken undertone,"It's my fault Yuri died. I could have saved her"

"What do you mean!?" Jimin exclaimed.

"I could have saved her" Taehyung repeated and ran his tongue on the inside of his cheek,"But I didn't. I could have just told them the location and my sister would have been alive. But I didn't, I didn't cause I knew if I was saving her then I was putting thousand more lives at stake"

The boys stared silently as Taehyung turned his head to the side, hands lifeless against his sides.
"It is a mistake I made" Taehyung sighed and then looked at the boys again,"...you don't need to pay for it"

Jihoon grabbed Taehyung's elbow and tugged his gently towards him, the older didn't protest and let the red haired push him inside the room again. Jihoon closed the door and breathed heavily, not liking the tense atmosphere at all. It felt as if there was a thick blanket of something that was covering everything in the house.

"It's getting late" Jihoon said,"I can't prepare much but if you want then I can make some ramen"

"No need" Jimin said but his stomach growled in protest and he covered it while cussing.

"I'll make some ramen" Jihoon said and went to the small and cramped kitchen to make a quick dinner for the boys.

Taehyung on the other hand slipped down against the door, his butt hitting the cold floor and he let out a shaky breath. He closed his eyes and let his head connect with the rough surface of the door.



"Tata!?" A three year old called, looking around and pouting,"Tata!"

She softly sniffled but then water fall began cascading her eyes as she couldn't see the assuring and familiar figure.

"Tata, Yuri scared!" She sobbed and sat on the ground while pulling her knees to herself.

"Yuri-ah?" A voice deep voice spoke up and she looked at him with big for eyes.
"Tata!" She yelled and immediately fell into his protective arms.
"Omo were you scared?" He asked while rubbing her back soothingly. 

"Leave Yuri no!" The little girl cried into his shirt, completely soaking the fabric.
"I thought we were playing hide and seek?" Taehyung said and smiled at his little sister,"I was hiding chubs"

"Yuri think tata left Yuri" She hiccuped and Taehyung pulled her tighter into a hug.
"I will never leave you" Taehyung said while kissing the top of her head; mumbling something the girl couldn't quite catch.

"Tata what say?" Yuri asked and looked at Taehyung with big doe eyes.

"I asked if you wanna eat some ice cream?" Taehyung asked and it put a bright smile on the face of the girl.

"Okay!" She cheered and Taehyung picked her up and took her to the nearest ice cream store.


"I will never leave you" Taehyung mumbled to himself—"Even God himself won't be able to do that...."

He let out a choked sob and covered his eyes when he felt a wrecking ball coming and hitting him right in the chest and scattering his cracked heart. Taehyung stared ahead at the full length mirror and waited for his calm face crumble into a expression of pain and morning, and it did.
