A/N I'm making progress in here and am actually going to try and update consistently! I hope you all are enjoying this book so far!

Taehyung walked into the kitchen the next morning, a blanket wrapped around him. He was silent as Yoongi handed him a plate of food, kissing the top of his head. It was rare that Yoongi was affectionate with anyone but Jimin, but when his best friend needed comfort, he would change in an instant.

"I figured you wouldn't be overly hungry, so I just cut up some fruit for you", he said, sitting down beside him.

"Thank you", Taehyung murmured. He ate slowly, Yoongi rubbing his back the whole time, which he greatly appreciated. He always felt comforted by Yoongi," I'm not going to classes"

"Taehyung, you need to go to classes", Yoongi sighed softly.

"No", Taehyung said lowly.

"What happened yesterday?", Yoongi asked. Taehyung looked at him with tears in his eyes, sniffling softly. Yoongi saw and hugged Taehyung close.

"This project is just fucking with me, Yoonie. I can't talk about my family this much, it hurts too bad. There's too many memories", Taehyung cried softly," A-And I snapped at Jungkook and yelled, and he hates me now"

"I'm sure he doesn't hate you, honey", Yoongi said, kissing his temple.

"H-He called me an asshole", Taehyung sniffled. Both knew it was unlike Jungkook to swear, let alone swear at someone.

"Give him some time. Go to class today so you can apologize", Yoongi sighed.

"But-", Taehyung began before Yoongi cut him off.

"Tae, if you really care about him and want to start a relationship with him or even just build a friendship, it's moments like these that matter. You need to apologize today, in class. I won't take no for an answer", he said.

"Okay", Taehyung nodded quietly, snuggling into Yoongi further.

"Good, thank you", Yoongi smiled softly, kissing the top of his head. He finished feeding Taehyung breakfast before Taehyung got up to go get dressed. When he finished, he walked over to Yoongi, hugging him tightly.

"Yoonie, can you walk me to class? Please?", he asked. He always acted a bit more childlike when he was this upset and in need of comfort, but Yoongi didn't mind.

"Of course", Yoongi smiled softly. He rested his arm over Taehyung's shoulders as they walked to class, Yoongi carrying Taehyung's bag for him. When they got outside the classroom, Yoongi gave Taehyung a final hug and a kiss on the forehead and sent him in with his bag.

Taehyung nervously walked in, looking much more frail than usual. Normally, just the questions of yesterday alone wouldn't have made a big impact. But, since it had been an ongoing thing, he got weaker and weaker and the memories affected him more and more.

He sat down beside Jungkook, setting his bag on the floor. Jungkook was sketching in his notebook, paying Taehyung no mind. It was obvious he was still pissed. Taehyung played nervously with his sweater paws before working up the courage to tap Jungkook's shoulder.

"What?", Jungkook asked, a slight bite to his voice.

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped, and I didn't mean to", Taehyung murmured," I'm really sorry. Please don't hate me"

"I don't hate you", Jungkook sighed quietly," Thank you for apologizing"

Taehyung nodded and they went back to being quiet again. Jungkook didn't even try to talk to Taehyung, which made him have to fight back tears. The teacher came in soon enough and class began. The two took out their notebooks and pencils. Jungkook didn't even turn to face Taehyung like normal.

"I have a little sister", he murmured," Do you have any siblings?"

"P-Please, stop! It's gone!", Su-an begged, feeling the blood running down her legs," It's gone, please stop!"

Sehun stopped his punches and kicks to the girl on the floor, seeing the blood for himself. He scoffed at her and took another swig of his beer.

"Guess you should stop getting pregnant every time we fuck if you don't want this to happen", he slurred.

"I-If I do, I can get an abortion, you don't have to do this", she sniffled.

"Those cost money you dumb bitch. I'm not spending any more than I have to on you", he scoffed, spitting at her and smashing his empty bottle over her back. She gasped in pain as the man left, a small Taehyung running to her.

"Mommy, are you okay?', he asked worriedly.

This time, she wasn't. There was no way. She had had many miscarriages before, at least eight, all of them beaten to death inside her by Sehun. He was too careless to use a condom, so she got pregnant as many times as her body could take, but all of those babies were taken away, despite her pleas to Sehun to let her have another. She had always wanted a big family of kids, more then one, though Taehyung was plenty for her. She loved him to pieces and wouldn't trade him for the world.

"Sweetie, grab my phone please. Dial 911 and tell them our address. You know it, don't you?", she asked.

"Yes mommy", Taehyung nodded as he did what he was told. An ambulance would be on its way in minutes. Taehyung hugged Su-an loosely.

"Honey, go grab a small bag of things you want to bring. You'll come with me to the hospital, okay?", she said. Taehyung nodded and went to his room, doing as he was told. He was only about five at this point.

Soon, the ambulance came and took the two away. Hours of surgery and medical care later, Taehyung sat beside his mom on her hospital bed as the doctor delivered the news that she would never get her dream family. That she would never get pregnant again. Sehun had gotten his ways.

She was now infertile.

---

"Yes, I'm an only child", Taehyung responded simply.

"You must've been the favorite then", Jungkook chuckled softly, trying to lighten the mood, since it was tense to say the least.

---

"I'm so sorry, my Taehyungie. I missed you so much!", Su-an cried as she hugged Taehyung tightly. She had just picked him back up from the adoption facility after being gone a year. Taehyung hugged her back and cried.

"Why did you leave me here?", he asked.

"Mommy was hurt very bad, hon. I couldn't take you with me, but I couldn't leave you at home. I didn't want your father getting upset with you like he did mommy", she said, wiping his tears," I won't leave you again, I promise. I won't leave you until I'm gone forever"

"That'll never happen. You'll be with me forever", Taehyung said as he hugged her tighter. Su-an could only offer a soft smile. She couldn't promise that, not with the violent nature of Sehun getting worse and worse.

"I love you so much, my baby", she whispered.

"I love you too, mommy"

---

"I don't know", Taehyung said with a snap to his voice," Why is that even relevant?"

"I was just trying to make a joke", Jungkook scoffed," You just apologized and you're already snipping at me again. Did you even really mean it?"

"Yes", Taehyung said.

"Then what is your fucking problem, V?", Jungkook asked with another scoff. Taehyung just grabbed his stuff and stormed out, ignoring the teachers calls for him to come back. He ran as tears streamed down his face back to his dorm, slamming the door shut. He curled up in a ball in the corner of the living room where they kept the blankets and just cried.
