BTS x Male: Jihyun <1>

Chapter 10

When Taehyung and Hoseok say down on the bed In the empty room, Taehyung let out a shaky breath.

"Jihyun didn't have the best past. His parents were constantly arguing, to even where Jihyun and his sibling were brought in. He has an older sister and older brother. Every time they got dragged into the argument, Jihyun was forced to go to their rescue, taking the...the beating instead of them...it's probably why he's so kind hearted to this day..." Taehyung started off, thinking of the bad times he saw Jihyun in the past.

"I saw him once when we were in our acting career, he had this..dull look in his eyes when he walked in had a limp in his walk. I was the only one who noticed, and when I had brought him into the other room, he told me everything...he had been depressed and I saw...cuts in his wrist and scars all over his body...it was just...gruesome..." Taehyung let a tear or two slip before wiping them away.

"I had offered to take him home one day, and when I dropped him off, I saw how cruel his family was. They basically treated him like a slave...it was just so awful...he had then left and spent a week or two at my house, and when he had enough money...he left and I ran away with him, it was the same night as that incident. We were both grateful for each other and I could never thank him more for everything he's done for me from then till now..." Taehyung felt Hoseok embrace him as a knock was heard at the door.

"TaeTae, can you watch over Jihyun? Hoseok, in an hour, it'll be your turn to watch over him, okay?" Jin poked his head in and they both nodded, Taehyung getting up, leaving Hoseok alone in his thoughts.

Taehyung entered the room and saw Jihyun sweating profusely, making his heart ache. Jihyun wasn't taking care of his health anymore because he was busy helping them out. It made him feel as if it was his fault he was like this.

Tae sat on the chair, replacing the wash cloth that was warm with a colder one to help cool down his fever. He looked around the room and found Jihyun's guitar that he loved playing next to his violin.

He remembered Jihyun saying that it was 'A way to get away from everything', and when Jihyun played, it made Taehyung so relaxed like he had no worries, and he could understand what Jihyun meant by getting away from everything. It was always comforting for them to be in each others presence.

They were like each others safe zone, they could be who ever they wanted to be around each other and they wouldn't judge either, it was just how they were, they were best friends for so long, they've grown to have a close relationship with each other, they're basically brothers.

Meanwhile, Jin was downstairs, in the kitchen thinking back over to what Taehyung said.

He couldn't tell a Jihyun was depressed at all... And the fact that they were stressing him out about everything that's happened recently...

Jin sighed as he looked around in cabinets to find medicine, and prepared a bowl of soup for Jihyun and carried it upstairs.

He knocked on Jihyun's door and it opened to reveal Taehyung.

"I made soup for Jihyun, and he has medicine he needs to take..." Jin spoke up and Taehyung let him in, sniffling a few times.

"Thank you hyung..." Taehyung said as Jin sat the tray down, replacing Jihyun's towel on his head.

"Could I um...speak to you?" Jin asked, and Taehyung nodded, giving him his full attention.

"What did you need to talk about,hyung?"

"It's about Jihyun... I heard you telling Hoseok his past...and I'm just worried. Is it really okay for him to be stressing himself out like this? It's not healthy for him," Jin explained and Taehyung tensed up.

"Look, I know it's not my business, but it just worries me." Jin said and Taehyung sighed.

"...hyung, I really don't know..." Taehyung said softly.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Jin asked curiously and watched as Taehyung broke.

"I mean I don't know anymore! I haven't seen him in a month, and I have no clue how he's been coping with himself. He's always been he one to bottle up everything, and he refuses to show that he had his own problems! I mean I don't know how to help him and it frustrates the fuck out of me!" Taehyung broke down and cried, Jin standing there shocked.

"I only want to hell him, but he's making it difficult because he won't tell me anything anymore..." Taehyung felt arms wrapped around him, thinking it was Jin.

"If you would've told me how you felt, I would've explained everything.." A raspy voice whispered, and Taehyung head snapped up.

"Jihyun..!" Taehyung gasped, and stared at him in shock, tears rolling down his face.

"I'm not feeling well right now, I have multiple things going on. I have a collab next week, I have to make sure all my songs are done by the end of this month, and tI'm s stressful enough knowing what happened to the dorms." Jihyun explained, wiping Tae's tears away.

Jin sat beside Jihyun, rubbing his back.

"And before you say anything, it's not your fault. I've let myself get stressed out, so don't blame yourself" Jihyun rubbed Tae's back, wiping the tears that fell from his eyes.

"And, thank you Jin." Jihyun said smiling, a timer going off.

"Oh, it's Hoseok's time to watch over you now. If you need anything, don't be afraid to tell us!" Jin said as he and Taehyung got up, Hoseok walked in the room.

"I'm your hope, I'm your angel, I'm J-Hope!" Hoseok walked into the room and towards Jihyun.
