chapter 18

after such long painful hours of teasings and chitchatting with hoseok and yoongi, they decided to call it a night.

“should we call jungkook?” hoseok suggested as he looked at himself in the mirror, fixing his outfit.

“nah. it’s okay, he’s probably busy. i can just tell him later on.” taehyung stated as he hugged yoongi’s waist.

“hyung, i’ll miss you.” he murmured softly, making hoseok look up, lips fakely quivering, “aww, we will miss you too.”

hoseok then joined into hug, squishing the daylight out of taehyung and yoongi.

“okay. let's stop.” yoongi groaned as he detached himself from the two softies.

he sighed before staring at taehyung, his cousin, whom he was protective of during their early years of childhood. of course, he heard about the recent events, he knew about park jimin and his relationship with taehyung because taehyung couldn't stop squealing about how jimin made him blush but he also knew about the amount of danger that taehyung is facing right now.

“tae, i need you to take care of yourself.” he reached out for the other’s bony hands.

taehyung seemed to be caught off-guard by the other’s words but his emotion immediately changed as tears started to build up on his eyes.

“no, don’t cry. i hate it when you cry.” he said as he wiped the tears off taehyung’s russet eyes.

hoseok silently watched the scene unfold before him, heck, he was worried about taehyung too but he knew, he just knew that jungkook will always be there to protect his cousin.

he watched as yoongi tried to console taehyung who’s now murmurming words like, “hyung, i’m scared”, “what if they kill dad?” or “what if they kill me?”

“don’t worry tae, i’m sure the fbi is doing their might to protect you and your dad and jungkook‘s with you..” a paused, “you trust him right?”

hoseok sighed in bliss as taehyung nodded cutely, his cheeks now red from his previous action.

“alright..” yoongi started, “we’ll get going now okay? have you been taking your meds lately?” yoongi asked expectantly.

“n-no, i stopped taking them hyung.. i-i feel better now.” taehyung assured, trying to avoid the topic.

hoseok sensed the discomfort of the younger so he sent a glare at yoongi for opening the topic up, the other’s gonna receive a lot of scoldings back in plane.

“okay then,” he tousled taehyung’s hair, “take care.” yoongi said as he backed away from the door where two bodyguard escorts are now waiting.

“i love you taetae.” hoseok kissed taehyung’s temple as he made his way out of the dorm.

taehyung watched as the door slammed shut, anxiety hitting him as he recalled yoongi bringing up his meds.

he was sure he’s doing well, no more excruciating pain unlike before.

“they left.” a voice startled taehyung from his dilemma, he wonders if jungkook knows about his condition too? was it stated on his files—

“tae, you okay?”

taehyung looked up, meeting a now well-dressed jungkook, well-dressed as in with shirt on.

“hmm.” he nodded as he tiredly walked pass jungkook but before he could even go to his room, a hand was suddenly gripping his wrists making turn around.
