Found Again (Rewriting)

Chapter 13

––Third POV––

Hoseok sat in the common room, his feet tapped to a tune he vaguely remembered from his toddler days. The other boys lounged around the room in various spots, doing their own thing.

"Help me!" a weak voice screamed, Hoseok's head snapped up as he heard the plea.

"Did anyone hear that?" He questioned the others, who didn't respond. It was as if he wasn't there.

"Hello?" Hoseok stood up, his body swaying as his mind adjusted to the sudden thirteen-year-old size of his body. Another scream triggered him to run out of the familiar pair of double doors.

"Where are you?!" Hoseok ran past the doors and into a hallway. He chased after the screams for what felt like hours, but no matter what, he could never catch up. The hallways gradually got emptier and emptier, the number of doors went from too many count to three or four despite the hallways being the same length.

He stopped running when the screaming stopped and he heard noises coming from around the corner. It was footsteps and... dragging? Hoseok pressed his body against the nearby wall and watched as a pair of guards dragged a bloodied boy between them.

They stopped in front of one of the few doors in the hallway and opened it, threw the small boy in and walked away. They didn't even bother to shut the door. The second the guards were out of sight, Hoseok ran to the door and pushed it all the way open, revealing the boy who was dragged.

It was Jimin. His body shook as he lay limp on the floor, his body was obviously beaten and bruises covered every inch of his body. Tears ran down his cheeks as he sobbed.

Hoseok stood at the doorway and watched as the younger coughed, causing more blood to roll down the side of his face, decorating the floor. Hoseok's breathing hitched as Jimin's eyes closed and his chest struggled to rise up and down.

Hoseok felt two forms run through his own, sending shivers down his spine. It was Felix and Jeongin. The boys ran to Jimin's side and started shouting for the boy to wake up.

The shouting stopped but the boy kept their hands on his arms. They decided between themselves that they had to get him help from the outside world. So, they slowly lifted him up, his thin body placed between their own small ones.

"It's okay, Jiminie. We're going to get you out of here. Stay awake for me okay?" Felix whispered in Jimin's ear, but to Hoseok, it felt like he was whispering into his own.

"Leave me. Save yourselves. I'm past saving," Jimin spoke in their heads, blood dripped from his nose as he used his powers.

"No, hyung. We can't leave you," Jeongin spoke to Jimin. Hoseok followed after the boys who struggled down the hallway.

"Found them!" A deep voice echoed off the concrete walls from behind them, signaling the guards behind the group.

Jeongin used his sonic scream to push back the guards, who fell with loud thumps behind the group.

"I see a door!" Felix shouted as Jimin coughed up more blood.

"I'm not going to make it. I'm sorry," Jimin pushed the two ahead of him. Hoseok watched as his knees hit the floor and his butt fell on his heels. Jimin forced their bodies to walk away from him, leaving him defenseless to the incoming guards.

"Jimin! Stop!" Felix and Jeongin shouted as they failed to control their own bodies, Hoseok's shouting joined theirs as he saw the guards closing in on the telepath.

Jimin's chest smashed against the floor as a guard stepped on his back. The two other boys were suddenly free from Jimin's telekinesis and turned around to watch as the guard who stood on Jimin flung into two other guards.
