"what do you mean? i want you to be comfortable with me so of course i'll listen," hoseok reassured. yoongi smiled while a tear dropped. he let out a soft laugh to avoid crying harshly. once hoseok saw his tear, he went straight for a hug. they hugged tightly and for once, yoongi felt like hoseok understood him and could actually hear him out. "it's okay."

"will it be though? will everything be okay?"

"be positive, yoongi. everything will turn out fine," hoseok said while rubbing yoongi's back. "we're safe right now and that's all that matters."

"it won't last long. they--they wanted to give you poison, hoba. they wanted to kill you. they did the same to me but i'm not dead," yoongi blinked rapidly to preserve some tears but it was just overflowing in his eye socket. "i was deathly."

"now, i'm not dead but you could've eaten that and died. i care about you....so for you to die from some bastards and not from jail....will just break my heart. you can't trust people so easily, hoba!" yoongi cried. hoseok looked out at a distance in shock. he never thought of that.

"i want you, hobi..." yoongi whispered with pain in his voice. "i can't...lose...you," yoongi continued, "i don't want to."

"i'm still here," said while he stared at the wall in front of him, still shocked at what yoongi said. his voice doesn't have emotion but his intentions were filled with love. he wanted yoongi to understand him but it was hard as long as the three dots were still on his fingers.

"you don't understand!" yoongi wanted to scream but just raised his voice ever so slightly. hoseok closed his eyes for a moment to let everything sink in. everything was difficult to comprehend in hoseok's head.

"just...please...be quiet," hoseok requested. he let yoongi cry while his thoughts raced around his head in light speed. his heart was burning and he felt his oxygen tank start to shrink, making breathing difficult to do. hoseok got closer to the other and just hugged him tighter. yoongi's chin rested on hoseok's shoulder and hoseok's chin on yoongi's. they could inhale each others scent.

hoseok's face relaxed and just felt his lungs open up. his eyes felt heavy and watery at the same time. he forgot about everything that was happening and just let himself be absorbed by yoongi's energy. it was so silent that you could almost hear two hearts crack.

yoongi held his breath when he felt something hit his shoulder he opened his eyes with wet lashes and bloodshot eyes to the touch. it felt small but wet at the same time. yoongi backed up from the hug to see what hoseok was doing and what he saw was a life changing experience.

there he was. hoseok smiling while tears ran down his dry skin. hoseok smiled so hard that he was scared that he'll forget how to if he stopped. he felt himself finally break free from the cage he was in and it felt good. he finally got to show yoongi what he felt and finally be a decent human being. both emotions were enough to break him free from hell. and he's glad yoongi told him his problems because without them, hoseok wouldn't be able to break free.

"h-hoseok, y-you're..." yoongi started but he couldn't focus on what he was going to say.

"i'm free," hoseok giggled slightly. he used his hand to wipe away his first tears. he never thought he would be able to wipe away tears ever again. he felt like a human again and it was better that yoongi was there to first witness it. yoongi quickly reached for hoseok's wrist to see if the three dots on hoseok's finger was still there. if they were still there, then there was no hope for a good future.

"oh thank god," yoongi exhaled in relief. hoseok kept smiling and even laughed at yoongi's reaction. that was the very first time yoongi ever saw hoseok smile, much less laugh. the tears that was running down hoseok's face was pure relief to yoongi when to other people it would be discomfort.

they connected foreheads so they can laugh together. yoongi no longer felt heavy weights on his shoulders and the worry of them being seperated was long gone. because without the three dots, there would be no evidence to take hoseok to jail.

yoongi smiled while his tears left his eye sockets. those tears turning from sadness to happiness and relief. for the past couple of months, the thought of keeping hoseok away from the police was tiring and scary but now...they don't have to worry about a thing. because now hoseok is free.

hoseok kept his smile as he thought of the good memories that they get to create as a combo. he's finally happy he can spend time with his partner without worrying if someone will call him out to the authorities.

we're free
