A/N Incase you don't follow me and were wondering where my updates were, I was on hiatus. A friend of mine, who's like a sister to me, was taken to the hospital. I wasn't going to try to focus on her and writing at the same time, so I focused on writing. I'm sorry if you were looking for updates when I was gone, but I'm back now! I always post announcements of things like this on my page, so follow me if you want to get those!

The next afternoon, Taehyung was awoken to knocking at the front door. He tiredly looked at his clock, seeing it was noon, and knew Yoongi would already be out with Jimin. So, he slid on his slippers and walked tiredly to the door in his sweats and hoodie. He opened the door to an adorable bunny smile.

"Hi V! Sorry, did I wake you up? I assumed you'd already be awake", Jungkook smiled, taking in Taehyung's appearance.

"It's fine", Taehyung yawned," What are you doing here?"

"Well, we're super behind on our project and we need to catch up, so I thought I'd come over and we could work on it", he said. Taehyung sighed and nodded, moving out of the way for Jungkook to walk in, which he did. He skipped inside and sat down on the couch, spreading out his work materials. Taehyung couldn't help the small smile that crept onto his face. He grabbed an apple and sat down beside him.

"Can I at least eat first? We can watch TV or something while I do", Taehyung offered, tiredly leaning back onto the couch.

"Sure", Jungkook giggled, grabbing the remote. He handed it to Taehyung, scooting closer to him. It made both their hearts beat a bit faster. Taehyung turned on a show and watched while he ate. They finished the episode they were on even after he finished, before Jungkook sat up more," Okay, let's get to work"

"Do we have to?", Taehyung whined. Jungkook let out a giggle.

"Yes, we have to", he said.

"Fine", Taehyung sighed," What do you want to talk about?"

"Parents", Jungkook said," Mine are still together and in love. It's admirable really. What about yours? Are they still together or divorced?"

"Can't you please just go to your house?", Su-An asked softly. Sehun was drunkenly holding another woman close to him, having just walked through the front door.

"This is my house", Sehun slurred, smacking Su-An across the face," And I'll bring who I please here"

"But our son is right over there?", Su-An murmured, looking over at Taehyung, who was in the kitchen coloring.

"I don't care", Sehun scoffed, smacking her again," Now move"

Su-An moved out of the way, the other lady scoffing and smirking at her as she went upstairs with Sehun, leaving Su-An looking ashamed at the ground.

This was a normal occurrence at their house. Taehyung's father either brought home other women or raped his mother. It was an everyday thing, but it never stopped hurting his mother, hurting her that she wasn't enough, though she didn't want to be the one in his bed anyway.

Su-An didn't even know if they were together anymore, and Sehun was always to drunk to answer her. She sat down on the couch and cried, sniffling quietly, not wanting Taehyung to hear him. Taehyung hadn't even been listening, well, he tried not to.

He walked into the living room, holding a picture of him and his mom in his hand, one that he colored. He hugged her and handed her the picture.

"Thank you honey, it's beautiful", she smiled through tears," I love it"

"I love you mama", Taehyung smiled.

"I love you too, Tae", she smiled.

"No", Su-An said softly, pulling her wrist back from Sehun.

"What did you say to me?", Sehun asked angrily.

"I-I said no", Su-An said, trying to back away, but stumbling and falling to the ground. Sehun had dragged her upstairs to rape her for the nth time this week, but she wasn't having it. She was going to say no. And that's just what she did.

"You think you can say no to me?", Sehun asked, hovering over Su-An.

"I-I", Su-An tried to start saying.

"I guess I'll just have to teach you a lesson then", he said darkly. After that night, Su-An was hospitalized and in critical condition. It was unknown if she would make it from the amount of abuse she endured that night.

---

"I-I don't want to talk about it", Taehyung said softly.

"V, we have to, or we'll fail", Jungkook sighed.

"Please leave", Taehyung murmured.

"What? V, come on-", Jungkook started.

"I said leave", Taehyung said, louder then before, almost a yell. He stared blankly in front of him, not daring to look at Jungkook, knowing he'd see the pain he just caused. Jungkook scoffed.

"You know what, fine", he huffed," You're an asshole, V"

He grabbed his stuff and left, slamming the door behind him. Taehyung curled up in a ball on the couch, letting tears flow down his face, as soon as Jungkook shut the door.

"But why do I have to stay there?", Taehyung asked with a whine," I want to stay at home"

"Because your mom asked me to make sure you did", one of the nurses from the hospital said. They were currently waiting outside an adoption facility where children stayed who were abandoned or put up for adoption. Su-An had asked one of the nurses to make sure Taehyung stayed there. She would get him when she was out. She didn't want him to be on the receiving end of abuse from his father.

Taehyung nodded softly as he clutched Mr. Fuffles in his hand, his suitcase in the other. He walked into the adoption facility without a word. And, that's how it stayed. He didn't speak one word the entire time he stayed at the facility, which was over a year. After a year, his mother finally picked him up to go home.

---

Taehyung cried the rest of the night, even once Yoongi came home. Yoongi had sat on the couch with him the whole time, holding him. It was rare Taehyung got this emotional, but when he did, Yoongi was always there for him.

Yoongi held and tried to comfort Taehyung until he fell asleep that night, leaving a worried Yoongi to toss and turn. He would ask what the meltdown was about tomorrow, but for now, he could only wonder.


A/N Sorry for taking so long to update! I'll try to update once a week, I've just lost motivation for this story! It will get finished though!
