Taehyungs P.O.V

Jins mom still hasn't came, doctors said they weren't able to reach her. Sounds like Jins mom is just like mine.. Told me that his moms phone was off or maybe dead. six in the afternoon and still nothing. Not a single call from her or Jins dad. Jin was out for a couple hours and had to stay in the hospital till he is able to fully walk straight. On the other hand my mom has been messaging me wondering where I am. I don't answer like she would care about my wellbeing. She's just hooked on the fact my dad left her.

I stare at Jin as he is sound asleep in his bed curling to the side. I sit in a chair with my back facing the door afraid someone might come in and harm Jin once more. Namjoon had left for the restroom not that long ago and I wouldn't be surprised if the egg fell asleep on the toilet. Stupid Hae-Win though, I knew she'd do something but not this. How did she even figure it out and who did she hire to best Jin up. Or was it like that? I hope not. All we need now is justice for Jin. Going to this extreme to really hurt me. Crazy bitch. All she knows how to do is look good.

That's when the door to the room flings open. I jump into action, out of my chair ready to fight till I see Jimin and Hoseok, behind them my friends, Yoongi and. Jungkook. Jungkook turns my gears but now isn't the time to be mad. I grind my teeth together. "Jin!"- Hoseok almost yells but I'm quick on silencing him.

I cover his mouth and push them outside of the room glancing back at sleeping Jin. I push Hoseok a bit as he bumps into Jimin and he hits Jungkook. Jungkook gives Jimin a little smirk causing Jimin to step away. "What the hell let me see him!" Hoseok groans.

"Shut up and keep it down. He is sleeping for gods sake." I shake my head looking over my shoulder as I keep the door open a bit.

"Why are you here in the first place? Namjoon told us everything you did." Hoseok fuss's trying to peep over my shoulder to get a look at Jin.

"And what did I do?" I ask knowing Namjoon must have said something to make me look like the bad guy. Just like Jin said it wasn't my fault it happened, not my fault Hae-Win is a little too obsessed.

"Hoseok, calm down." Yoongi barges in grabbing Hoseoks wrist. Did they get close from the day I told Yoongi to distract Hoseok?

"Calm down horse." Jungkook adds on still eyeing Jimin.

"Stop bullying my friend, coconut." Jimin is angry at Jungkook now, eyebrows furrowed yet he does nothing but stand there.

Hoseok glares at me. "You know what you did." Hoseok stammers. Namjoon, I'll get back at that guy.

"What exactly did you do?" Jimin cuts in causing Jungkooks attention to settle from cocky to interested.

I sigh then shrug as a smirk comes to the surface of my face. "You really want to know?" I whisper.

"Try me." Hoseok spits and I see Yoongi pull him back once more but Hoseok rips away.

"For being me." I say.

Hoseok backs up now knowing what I mean even by my tone of voice. Yoongi lets go of Hoseok's wrist and Jungkook smiles at Jimins question. Jimin gives Jungkook a dirty look. "What a smart question." Jungkook ruffles Jimins hair. Jimin pushes Jungkooks hand away and focuses on me.

"Can't really do that while being popular...can you?" Jimin eyes Jungkook. What's this?

"Are you two a thing now?" Hoseok questions.

"Like you and Yoongi aren't!?" Jimin blurts back with anger.

"No!" Hoseok blares back.

"Then we aren't either." Jimin presses his lips together. Jungkook awes at him and Hoseok rolls his eyes. Yoongi pats Hoseok's shoulder.

Hoseok grows quiet. I shake it off and clear my throat. "You can come in. But be silent. He needs a lot of rest and if he gets enough he might be out by tomorrow." I explain.

Hoseok cuts in and walks past me into the room to stand by the bed. I get angry but he is Jins best friend so I instantly let it go. He is only worried. When we are all inside tears roll down Hoseoks cheeks. Yoongi plays with Hoseok ear to calm him. Jimin stands in the background not intervening with the situation. I almost feel bad for Jimin. Lives in the same neighborhood but didn't know what was going on. "How did they know where he lived?" Jungkook speaks.

"I know." Jimin adds.

We all stare at Jimin even Jungkook. Jimin lowers his head as he begins to sob. He told them? Why? Did they manipulate Jimin into giving them Jins address? Who are these fuckers. "I didn't mean to." Jimin whispers putting his head up to look at us.

Hoseok quickly goes to his side and hugs Jimin. They both weep quietly. Minutes pass and we are all comfortable Namjoon comes back to a room full of crying kids. I wasn't crying but looking over Jin and he noticed. Fuck off, egg. I sit in the same chair, the other chair at the foot of the bed sits Jimin as he was still sobbing and also trying to push away Jungkook. Jungkook on the other hand is sitting on the floor and leaning against Jimins thigh "asleep". A little area by the window with cushions laid Hoseok as Yoongi slept sitting up.

Jimin, Namjoon and I are the only ones awake. "I'm sorry." Jimin starts.

"For what?" Namjoon replies.

"I am the real cause of this." Jimin brings up once more.

Namjoon looks at Jimin but he isn't mad when he sees the tears and Jungkook. "No you aren't. You probably didn't know." I say going back to Jin. The clock on the shelf next to his bed read eight o'clock at night.

"What happened?" Namjoon asks trying to figure it out himself by looking at Jimin.

"Out of nowhere the three just came up to me. They were disgusting looking. Those glasses, fat boy and a really awkward vibe." Jimin exclaimed. Why does that sound familiar? I don't know anybody with the looks of that then again I don't really pay attention that much to people. They all come as a blur to me.

"Taehyung ..." Jin whines turning in his bed. He moans in pain with his eyes closed still half asleep. What could he want? I told him Yoongi was coming but I guess he didn't know that his friends were coming too. Guess he decided to pass out then.

"What is it?" I whisper to Jin. I get up from my chair and kneel by him waiting for his response.

"Lay next to me. Please," Jin huffs.

"Jin, I can't-" I don't have time to explain to him before he interrupts.

"Please, hyung." He pouts. Why did he have to say 'hyung'? Ugh, how cute, of course I'd do anything for him if he calls me that.

Damn it. I shot a quick glance at both Namjoon and Jimin. Jimin adverts his gaze with a soft smile as Namjoon just glares at me. "Go ahead." Namjoon decides looking away from my stare. "I'm going to get another chair to sleep in." Namjoon then leaves the room.

"Okay, I'm here." I tell Jin. Crawling to the other side I get under the covers and lay with him. Home sweet home. I am sure to not accidentally hit his wounds making sure he is comfortable. My eyes move over to Jimin and Jungkook. Why is Jungkook so close to that kid now? Jimin is two years older than him what's he thinking. Jungkook just turned sixteen so was he waiting for something? No because he went out with Jin for not that long. I remove my attention from Jungkook after seeing his busted up face was healing nicely. I have a lot of questions for him.
