Please

<Washing and Hugs>

Jungkook didn't waste a second after the nurse left. He started for Taehyungs room. The box held tightly in his hands. Once he reached the white door he hesitated, would Taehyung be the same as before? Yeah, they were alone together for a while back at the hotel, but Taehyung was sleeping then so they didn't really talk.

Would Taehyung have changed?

That's a stupid question. Of course, he would've, he's been through physical and emotional trauma. Violated and raped day after day, hit and starved, pushed to exhaustion.

He wasn't going to be the same Taehyung that would play video games with him. That would go for long walks with him to small coffee shops in the area, ordering donuts and hot chocolate--on the cold days--. He wasn't the hyung that would stop by every Saturday so he could admire Jungkook's plush collection.

He took in a long deep breath, then lightly knocked. There wasn't a reply, Jungkook peaked into the room through the little window. There wasn't anyone sitting on the bed or standing anywhere in the room. He cracked the door a slight bit to examine, fear that Taehyung was gone again running through his veins. The words "Not again" were running through his head like a mantra.

However once fully in the room be could hear the faint sound of water running. His fear immediately leaving him, Taehyung was safe, that was good for him.

Jungkook seated himself in the chair near Taehyungs bed, the box of food placed on the bedside table. The younger went on his phone, checking social media, looking for memes or something to distract him from his thoughts.

A couple of minutes pass and Taehyung is still in the bathroom the water still running. Jungkook furrowed his brows, "does it usually take this long?" He asked himself quietly.

The young officer wanted to go in and check on Taehyung. But he also didn't want to intrude in his privacy, so he waited, leg bouncing up and down at a fast rate.

When the older still hadn't come out, Jungkook was really worried. He sped to the door if the bathroom and knocked lightly on the wood, "hyung?" He called out, there wasn't an answer, "are you okay Tae?" He called again. Yet again nothing. "I'm coming in." He started slowly turning the knob.

The sight was sad, Taehyung was sitting on the floor of the shower, the water hitting him as he scrubbed his skin raw. He had scrubbed at the skin so hard that some spots were bleeding. His inner thighs, hips, wrists, and neck were the worst. "Tae." Jungkook gasped.

Opening the sliding door to the shower, he snatched the rough cloth from the elder's and "what are you doing? You're hurting yourself!" He exclaimed turning off the water that had already dampened his clothes.

Tears pricked at Taehyungs eyes, he hugged himself tightly. "I-i was tr-trying to wash them a-away." He whispered out, his deep voice sounding so small. "B-but the-their h-h-hands... it- th-they--"

"...Tae" Jungkook murmurs with a sad voice, "I'm so sorry..." he hesitantly wrapped his arms around the crying older. Once he did though, Taehyung turned to him gripping tightly on the males damp shirt crying loudly against the male.

Jungkooks heart broke at the state his hyung was in. "I'm sorry Tae." He whispered once again.

~~~

"Taehyungie!" Jimin ran into the hospital room engulfing his younger in his arms. Tears falling from his eyes, "I missed you!" He cried holding the younger tightly.

Taehyung joined in with tears, hugging him back as well, "I missed you too Jiminie." He hiccups gripping tightly onto his hyungs shirt.

Soon another pair of arms joined into the hugging, "Tae.." Jin's melodic voice rang through the older male whispers his own salty tears streaming down his cheeks.

Taehyung pulled back from the hug and looked at both of the men in front of him. He choked on a chuckle, "you guys look so pretty." His smile was weak but true.

Jin choked on his own laugh, "I kn-know" he joked, "and look at you. So beautiful. Look at you... y-y-you've grown s-so nicely." The older held his face gently in his hands.

"Y-yeah. You u-used to be s-so chubby." Jimin cried.

Taehyung wiped at his tears, "i-it l-looks like you might've grown a bit t-aller."

Jimin playfully shoved him, "y-yah."

Then they all went back to the hugging and crying.

Taehyung couldn't be happier at this moment.

~~~

After finally collecting themselves Taehyung started asking questions on what he missed. Jungkook had come back, he had to leave the room when the three were crying, he couldn't take it.

"How are Hobi and Yoongi...?" Taehyung asked.

The other three sighed, "they're doing fine now." Jimin sighed

Taehyung was confused, everyone seemed weird at the mention of the other two, "what do you mean... now?"

"Well," Jungkook sighed, "Hobi just got over a drinking problem he gained after his girlfriend left him for someone else. And Yoongi hyung was dealing with parental issues." Jungkook explained. "You can ask more about them when they get here tomorrow though, they're in Japan right now."

"Okay..." Taehyung murmured, "what about you three? What have I missed about you three?"

Jungkook grinned widely his bunny smile showing, "Jin hyung and Joon hyung are official!" He exclaimed.

"Yah!" Jin shouted, "I wanted to tell him."

"Wait really? Finally! I've been waiting forever!" Taehyung giggled happily. "I thought you two would never realize your feelings!... I was planning on a way to get you together... it was going to happen after Kookies birthday..." the brunet quickly looked up at Jungkook, "I'm sorry I never wished you happy birthday..."

Jungkook stared in disbelief, "w-what...?"

"I never said happy birthday to you on that day. I-i missed it. I'm sorry..." Taehyung looked down at his lap tears in his eyes again, "shit... I've ruined the mood... sor-"

Two strong arms wrapped themselves around the male, "stop apologizing." Jungkook ordered, his voice quivering. How could something so bad happen to such a kind person? "You have nothing to apologize for." He whispered.

"I..." Taehyung started but stopped himself and just hugged him back. "..okay" when the two pulled apart Taehyung wiped away his tears and grinned at Jin, "tell me every detail on how you and Joonie got together."

Jin smiled sadly, "okay so..."
