Scars

Jimin looks into the mirror, Yoongi left early due to an emergency call from his work, something about a missing track.

The boy turns his body, lifting the fabric of his shorts, looking at the red scars on his thighs. A loud , disappointed sigh leaves his lips, his hands trail to his shirt, exposing his sides to show more of the marks.
"Why couldn't he love me?"
A little tear escapes the boy's eyes, dripping onto the white shirt he's wearing, not noticing the front door opening.

"Jiminie?"
Jimin snaps his head back, meeting eyes with his caregiver who's leaning against the doorframe.
"Are you okay, baby boy?"
Jimin shakes his head, tears roll down his cheeks while he opens his arms for Yoongi. The elder hugs him tight, nuzzling his face into Jimin's like strawberry scenting locks. The younger sobs into the crook of Yoongi's neck, warm tears staining Yoongi's dark blue shirt.

"Hey, baby.. calm down."
Yoongi pats Jimin hair and back, hushing into his ear softly to try and calm him down.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Yoongi's voice has never been this soft and worried towards the boy, the sincerity was heartbreaking. Jimin nods and grabs Yoongi's hand, pulling him towards the bed and sitting down onto it.

"I know that.. you saw them.."
Yoongi raises his eyebrow, not knowing what the younger boy is talking about. Jimin sighs and lifts his shirt a little, exposing the scars. Yoongi nods, eyes starting to get teary at the sight of Jimin being so vulnerable.
"My dad used to a-abuse me, he wanted a son t-that.. you know.. was 'manly'."
Yoongi grabs the boy's hand, pulling him to his chest to lay his head on.

"I'm so sorry Jiminie."
Jimin nod, wiping his eyes with the back of his sleeve.

"So everytime i got home, he.. would push me and punch me, one time i-i hit my ribs against the corner of the f-fireplace.. i broke two of them and this scar is littered on my body since then."

Jimin explained his life story, the reason why he's afraid of his dad, where his scars come from and how many times he's be threatened with knifes. The times that his father did use those on him and would abuse him mentally by forcing him into relationships with girls and calling him names.

"Come here. Is this why you told me 'no girls over!' The day we met? Are you afraid of thinking back?"
Jimin nods uncomfortably, shifting in his spot in the bed. The elder reaches out for the boy's waist and pulls him onto his lap, legs wrapped around Yoongi's waist and his arms tightly around his neck while his head rests on Yoongi's shoulder.

"I'm sorry.. Yoongi.."

The next day, Jimin woke up little, the side Yoongi never dealt with.
"Jimin. Come here and sit down to eat your breakfast baby."
Jimin sticks out his tongue and balls his hands into fists, yelling 'nu' at him.

"Nu bweakfes!"
Jimin runs around the house in his pastel yellow shorts and white oversized t shirt, the shoulder of the shirt draping off of his skin, hair messy and cheeks slightly tinted.

"Jiminie, come here or else!"
Jimin yells again, running towards the front door to open it. Thank god Yoongi took the key out.

"Wan TaeTae!"
Jimin stomps his feet while pulling at the door handle. Yoongi walks over to the boy and scoops him up into his arms, receiving a harsh punch on his chest.

"That's it. No blue for the rest of the day!"
Jimin's eyes widen, tears starting to fill his eyes.

"N-nu~!"
Yoongi's heart breaks at the sight of the boy crying but he needs his punishments to know that some things just cross the line.

"Get blue for me."
Yoongi places Jimin back on his feet, little fists rubbing his eyes and tears spilling down his cheeks.
"Now Jiminie."

"Daddy's mean!"
Jimin runs towards the bedroom and grabs blue tightly against his chest, a few minutes later, the boy stands in front of Yoongi, sniffling and refusing to hand blue over.

"Jiminie, do you want a time out as an addition to your punishment?"
The boy quickly shakes his head, bottom lip sticking out and quivering.
"Hand me blue then, baby."
Jimin sticks his hands out and gives Yoongi the plushie, more tears spill when Yoongi places Blue into the kitchen cabinet.

"M sowwy da-ddy!"
Jimin rubs his eyes again, Yoongi pats the boy's head and places a kiss onto his forehead.

"What's bothering you baby boy?"
Jimin shrugs his shoulders and makes grabby hands towards the elder.
"Come here."
Yoongi lifts him and hugs him tightly, walking over to the couch and rocking him back and forth.

Taehyung managed to come over with Jungkook to play with Jimin. He ate his breakfast and lunch without further complaining. Yoongi thought about handing blue back but that would be a bad decision.

"Wook!"
Jimin shoves a drawing of, what looks like, Jimin and Yoongi on the beach. The elder pats his head and hangs it onto the fridge, Jimin looks excitedly and proudly at the piece of paper when Yoongi finished sticking it to the metal. The younger squeals due to Yoongi winking at him and runs towards Jungkook, almost tackling the boy.

Yoongi chuckles and sits down next to Taehyung on the couch.
"So, how's your relationship?"
A sigh leaves Taehyung's lips, almost worrying Yoongi.

"It's perfect."
Taehyung looks over at Jungkook, who's playing with Jimin, sitting on the wooden floor with his legs crossed. A barbie in his left hand and Jimin's hand in his right, smiling his bunny smile at the said boy.
"He's perfect."
