(Taehyung)

The little boy fell asleep on my shoulder not long after I started singing. His sleepy breathes blow on my neck and I can't help but sigh. He looks so fragile. The cut on his forehead has a large scab on it now and the bruise on it cheek make him look so beat up. Who could possible do this to a child?

"Do you know anything about him?" I ask Yoongi Hyung.

"Not much. He has an older sister who WVM is interested in. He also lives in a rather bad part of town." Yoongi says keeping his eyes on the road.

"Speaking of bad part of town, what the hell were you doing over here?" I ask.

"I just wanted to get some fresh air. I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd just walk around. I guess I came farther than I thought." Yoongi replies in a tired voice.

"Okay well, where did you run into him? He couldn't have run far in the cold with no shoes on."

"He ran at least seven or eight blocks from his house. He ran into the gas station while I was getting something to drink. I think in was adrenalin though, when he came into the store he collapsed. He was having an asthma attack. Luckily the station had rescue inhalers." Yoongi explains.

"Seven blocks?" I ask raising my eyebrows. "He must have really been scared."

"Do you think the other will be okay with him staying for awhile. I'm not letting him go back, it's obvious he's been hurt enough." Yoongi says.

I'm honestly kind of shocked. I didn't think Hyung would be this emotionally attached to the kid. He only meet him, what, like a half an hour ago? I look down at the kid sleeping on my shoulder. He looked so scared before, but now he looks content. I feel like if I were to wake him he'd simply break apart.

Hopefully he'll sleep all the way home. I don't want him to start crying again. It broke my heart to see him so upset. I'm sure the other will be find with him staying until we can get him into a better place to live. I don't want him to go back to someone whose hurting him either.

After a little thinking I reply to Yoongi. "They'll be fine. He needs a safe place to stay until we can find him somewhere to live." Yoongi nods and keeps his eyes on the road.

I lean forward and turn on the radio from the back seat control center. I turn it down until it only playing quietly and lean back. I close my yes and hum along as I drift to sleep. Don't worry little one, I think, we'll make sure you're safe.

Hey! Author here, the next few chapter might be kinda short. They're gonna be from the guys perspective of the night so there's not much time passing. Just thought I'd let you know. I might do this every now and again but I'll go back to the longer chapters from Seo-jun's perspective soon.
