Playing With Fire [Yoonmin] 》DISCONTINUED《

12

"No... no no... not Yoongi... why?!" Jimin cried as he stared at Yoongi's battered body through the window. What was he supposed to do? He couldn't call child services... how would Yoongi react if the only family member he had was taken away. "You can hardly call him family," he scoffed to himself. He had to get Yoongi out of there one way or another, he had to do something. 

"Luna and Alex!" he cheered as he was hit like a truck by a lightbulb. He thought of his stepcousins Park Luna and Park Alex. Luna was one of South Korea's best doctors, despite being a selective mute due to her severe social anxiety. Her twin sister Alex was a therapist who was extremely protective over Luna as well as her patients who she could only see the light in. Never the dark. He knew Alex would be able to help as well as Luna. He hadn't spoken to them for months but to help Yoongi, he was willing to do anything.

He gasped when he heard the door to the Min household open and quickly hid behind a wall, desperately trying to silence his breathing. "What is it?" he heard Yoongi's father. His voice was raspy like his son's however it had a much rougher sound to it and Jimin instantly felt his pity for the boy increase. "For fuck's sake! Fine, I'm on my way!" Mr Min yelled before furiously ending the call which only made Jimin fear more for what has happened to Yoongi.

He watched as Yoongi's father walked to his car, despite clearly being drunk. Jimin loathed him. He loathed how he could just get on with his day as if he hadn't just beaten the living hell out of his own son. He loathed how he could treat people so terribly yet get the finer things in life. He loathed how he was slowly becoming a murderer. 'But I was almost one too' Jimin reminded himself before sighing deeply. He watched as Yoongi's malicious father drove off, with the drunkenness being clearly evident. 

Jimin looked at the time. "10:47 am... I think they'll be awake," he mumbled to himself before running as fast as his short legs could take him. He saw his stepcousins' small house come into view as a wave of relief flooded through him. He picked up the pace and felt like collapsing out of exhaustion when he finally got there. But he knew he had to remain strong for Yoongi.

He knocked on the door whilst panting heavily and slightly sweating. He sighed again when the door opened to reveal a beautiful girl with crimson red and aqua blue hair. He felt pity once more as he saw the girl was wearing an eye mask. She let the hate get to her. "Jiminie," the girl squeaked before jumping in the small boy's arms. "Hey, Alex noona. I-I'd love to catch up but I need you! Please!" Jimin begged, pulling her off him. Alex tilted her head and nodded. "Shall I bring Luna? I'll get her," she requested, instantly seeing the severity of the situation through the panic in Jimin's eyes. She didn't even wait for an answer and instantly ran upstairs before coming down with a shy and confused girl. She hid her face behind a black face mask and only showed her ocean eyes that matched with her black hair and the navy blue tips. She covered half of her face with her hair but the confusion and shock were easily visible.

"Come on!" Jimin yelled, not wanting to waste any more time than he already had. He just couldn't let Yoongi suffer any more than he had, Jimin felt the need to save him, to hold him and finally show him happiness. Even though Jimin knew of Yoongi's... problems, he knew that the boy was innocent, that he was only broken and now he finally knew one of the things that shattered him. Luna and Alex looked at each other before quickly running after their younger stepcousin. 

Before long, they managed to arrive back to the unkempt and unsafe street that Yoongi involuntarily called home. Just the sight of the mouldy house made Jimin sick to his stomach. "In here! Please! He's really hurt!" Jimin pleaded, bursting through the wooden door with ease since Mr Min forgot to lock it. Alex was about to ask who but saw Luna already rush to a boy scattered on the floor and painted with blood.

"Please! Help him!" Jimin cried. Luna signed over to Alex to ask Jimin what happened. "Jimin-ah, what happened?" Alex questioned.
"He... I don't know! He walked in and then his dad just punched him then kicked him then.. wh-whipped him a-and then... threw a bottle at-at his head," Jimin explained through choked and heartbroken sobs that only emphasised how much he had begun to care for Yoongi. Luna ran her gloved hands through Yoongi's mint hair and pulled out loose pieces of glass. 'I'll have to have the right equipment to get this glass out. And he needs to be checked for worse injuries. Can you ask Jimin to take us to the hospital? 'Luna signed over to Alex who instantly translated it to Jimin.

Jimin felt his heart drop as he collapsed to his knees and admired the breathtaking boy who was unconscious in front of him. "Yeah... yeah..." Jimin couldn't even find the right words. He just couldn't get his mind off what he'd witness. He couldn't stop worrying about the boy. Jimin lifted Yoongi up gently, being careful so that he didn't hurt him and almost broke down at how light he was. Jimin had seen Yoongi in the cafeteria but he'd never seen him eat and he had no reason to believe his father fed him... that made Jimin worry again. "Luna, get the car, I'll drive us there," Jimin demanded, his voice as emotionless as his face. He didn't think he'd be okay until he finally saw Yoongi's smile again. Luna sighed and nodded.

"He'll be okay, you know," Alex said once Luna had left. Jimin nodded. "I know he will, but he might not be. That man is only gonna hurt him again, and he's gonna hurt himself. I know it. I know for a fact that Yoongi cuts," Jimin ranted, Alex only nodding in agreement to his words. "Look," she stated. Jimin's eyes widened. 
"He doesn't want me to," he mumbled. 
"Do it, you need to know the severity of his lifestyle. If you assume he's a cutter then you need to figure it out for sure before taking action," Alex explained, her words making some sense to Jimin but he couldn't dream of going against Yoongi. "Just do it," she urged.

Jimin nodded and lifted up the sleeve of Yoongi's hoodie and felt his eyes fill to the brim with tears at what he saw...
