Broken Smile

Chapter Eight

The room was covered in the boys' creativity, and the food smelled delicious. (F/c) balloons were everywhere, and as were the streamers. For a moment, all of my cares vanish and a relaxing feeling washed over me.
For the next few hours, we all die laughing and have an amazing time. Jin has cooked supper, and we all get our plates and scatter through the house as we eat and talk with each other.
Yoongi, Namjoon, and Jin were sitting on the couch talking about the latest drama at school, and Jimin, Jungkook and Tae were at the table playing a game.
Where's Hobi?
I saunter through the house trying to find Hobi, when I see a light shining from under the bathroom door. He's been missing for a while. I creep up to the door and put my ear to it. There's no sound. I gently knock on the door and back away.
"Hobi? Are you ok?" I question. I hear a gasp and the sound of metal hitting the floor.
"Y-yeah. I'm ok, (Y/n). I'll be out in a second," he says.
My mind automatically goes to the worst possible scenario and my heart drops.
"What just fell?" I say, praying that it's not what I think it was.
"A quarter fell out of my pocket. I'm sorry," he says. He's lying.
"Oh. When you get done can you help me find something, please?" I say, desperate to get him out of there.
"Sure," he says as he turns the water on in the sink. The doorknob clicks and turns open, revealing a smiling Hobi.
A fake smiling Hobi.
"What do you need help finding, (Y/n)?" He says as his left ear twitches.
"I-uh.. I can't find my charger," I say, lying through my teeth, "I think it's in my room somewhere."
He nods and heads down the hall towards my room, and I follow him. Once he gets in there, he stops and looks around.
  "(Y/n)~, it's right here on-," he starts but I cut him off when I hug him from behind, so tight that he probably can't breath.

Hoseok's P.O.V.

  "(Y/n)~, it's right here on-," I begin, but a pair of arms wrap around me from behind and squeeze me.
She knows.
  Still smiling, I wrap my shaky hands around hers.
  "(Y/n)... What's wrong?" I ask, trying to play it off as nothing is wrong. She only hugs me tighter and I feel her tears seeping through the back of my hoodie.
(Y/n).... Please don't hate me.... I'm sorry.. I can't stop..
  A tear trickles down my face as I clutch her hands tighter. I can't stop them... I don't want her to see me cry again..

Your P.O.V.

  His breath hitches and he begins to sink to the floor. I kick the door shut with my foot and go down with him, still not letting go. I turn him around and hug him as he sobs into my shoulder. His shaky arms wrap around me and hold me tight as if I'll disappear if he lets go.
  I rub his back, trying to calm him, but he only grasps me tighter. His ears twitch as quiet sobs escape his lips and into the fabric of my hoodie. I rest my head on his shoulder, trying to calm myself as well.
After a few minutes, we both calm ourselves down and end up sitting on my bed. His head hangs low as his silent tears drip onto his knees. I struggle to find the right words to say, but end up gently stroking his ears.
  He takes my hands in his and mutters I'm sorry over and over again, but the words won't leave my lips. He collapses and his head lands in my lap, thought he still held one of my hands. I use my other to reassuringly rub his back as I contemplate what to do.
  "H-Hobi..," I stutter.
  "(Y/n)... I'm sorry... Please.. Help me," he chokes out.
  I don't know how to help him..

Jin's P.O.V.

  Where's Hoseok and (Y/n)? Hoseok has been gone for a while, and then (Y/n) disappeared..
  I get up and act like I'm going to the bathroom, but I hear voices as I approach (Y/n)'s room
  "(Y/n)... What's wrong?" Hoseok asked in a quiet voice.
  Who's sniffling? Why is (Y/n) crying?
  Then the realization hit me. It's about him cutting. Did she catch him? How bad was it?
  I keep all my thoughts curled up inside my head as I stand at the door and silently listen.
  Several sobs can be heard, but I hold myself back from intervening, despite the fact that that they're like my children.
  "H-Hobi," (Y/n) says, making me push my ear closer to the door.
  "(Y/n)... I'm sorry... Please.. Help me," he sobs.
I have to get the boys out of here. They have to work this out themselves and I'll be here anytime if they need me.
Tip toeing back down the hall, I reach the opposite end and casually call out to (Y/n).
"(Y/n)! I have to go! I'll see you tomorrow," I yell.
I hear rustling around the room and the door opens, revealing a (Y/n) acting like nothing happened.
"Ah.. Hobi isn't feeling well. I think he might be sick," she says, only because he is in earshot. Her eyes tell a completely different story. One filled with pain and suffering.
"Oh ok.. Tell him I hope he feels better, and I'm here if he needs anything," I say, my look saying it all.
"I will. Thanks," she says, stretching out her arms to hug me. I wrap my arms around her small body as she stands on her tiptoes and whispers in my ear.
"I know you were listening.. What do I do?" She says in a shaky breath.
"Just be there for him," I whisper back as pull away.
I give her a reassuring smile and pat her on the head. I turn to walk back in the living room with (Y/n) following close behind me.
"Hey, I'm gonna head home, and (Y/n)'s gonna take care of Hoseok. He's not feeling well," Jin casually said.
  All the boys stood up and grabbed their things before walking up to me.
  They all gently hugged me and said their goodbyes before heading out the door. Jin waves at me and gives me a reassuring smile as he shuts the door, leaving me alone with a depressed Hobi and a heartbroken version of myself.
  I walk to the kitchen and fill a glass with cool water before carrying it back to my room. Hobi is curled up on the bed with his hands covering his face. He lifts his head up as I step closer and hold out the water.
  He gladly takes it and gulps it down before placing the now empty glass into my hand. I set it on the nightstand and sit on the bed, but he takes my hand and pulls me down to lay with him. He presses his chest to my back and wraps his arms around around me, resting his head in the crook of my neck. His shaky breaths tickle my neck as his silent tears trickled down my shoulder.
  I lift my arms and hold his hand in mine. He squeezes my hand tightly and sobs harder into my back. Tears fill my eyes as I see the lines across his wrists. After what felt like hours, his sobs come to an end and soft snores emitted from him.
  Thousands of thoughts flood through my head as a tear escaped my eye. My sunshine. Of all people, it's him.
  Against my will, my eyes get heavy as sleep takes over my weary body. Before I fall asleep, I turn my body to face Hoseok, being careful not to wake him. I wrap my arms around him and hug him close and I fall into the world of sleep.
