"Yungguk" You mutter, rubbing the young boys back as he weeped.

You were sleeping in your room, beside with jimin when your heard sobs and screams coming from Yungguks room, so of course you ran into his room going to comfort him. Which led you to where you were now.

"Baby" You frown. He shakes and the tears doesn't stop so you go and sit next to him pulling him up and out of his nightmare.

"Yungguk?" You ruffle his hair as you sit his smaller body into yours. His wheezing comes to a stop and he looks at you before he was laying his head in your neck.

"I'm s-sorry if i woke you hyung" he stuttered, still mildly shaking a bit in your hands.

"Don't be sorry, it's okay and you didn't wake me. Jimins snoring did" You lie. But the smile that cracked onto Yungguks face imagining a opened mouth snoring jimin made you the happiest.

"Really?" He giggles, bringing his small hands up to wipe his wet cheeks.

"Yes, Really,"

Yungguk giggles more until his face turned into a frown, "I had a bad dream hyung."

"About what?" You ask, rubbing his back in soothing circles.

"Jungkook hyung." He pouts. His head and face was still nuzzled into your neck, he didn't break away not once while talking.

"Oh" You mutter. You didn't know what to say, or do, precisely. Whenever something happened with Yungguk when you were younger Jungkook really took care of it, and when you were away at college that's who yungguk ran to when he had problems. This was all new to you, not a big brother role but like more of a guardian role you could say.

"What happened?"

"T-they took him hyung." He sniffed. "He took Jungkook hyung away from us!" he blubbered.

"Who did?"

"The big bad red man! He was hovering over jungkook hyungs hospital bed then took him away." With his eyebrows furrowed yungguk sighed sadly into you.

"Yungguk." You smile sadly at him. You had to keep this smile on and nothing else, because if you poured and gave off the sad energy it would be no use to comfort him, better. "Look at me."

"Hmm?" His small face looked upwards at you, a pout still clear as day on his face.

"Wasn't hyung hurting everyday?"

"Yes,"

"Wasn't he fighting to get everything better but he couldn't?"

"Yes," Yungguk sighed.

"Now that he's laying at rest he doesn't have to be in pain anymore, he doesn't have to suffer and put on a happy face for us." You smile at Yungguk. "He's taken care of us and now it's his turn to relax."

"I understand." Yungguk murmured, his eyes shutting and opening back again.

"You wanna try going back to sleep?" You rub your brothers face with your thumb.

"I know i'm a little old," He looks away from you. "But could I sleep with you?, Just incase?"

"You're not to old, Come on" You chuckle at his response and pick the seven year old up, carrying him to your bed that still had jimin snoring aloud. He was squeezed in the corner of the large bed which you used to your advantage when you laid yungguk down on the side. You got in next to him between jimin, and curled into him as you waited until you heard the small snores escaping him.

"How did it go with your aunt mina?" Asked seokjin as you walked in.

"It went really well, we talked everything out. His funeral will have to be tomorrow." You shut the door behind you and sit your jacket onto one of the dining room chairs.

"Tomorrow?" Asks taehyung. His body was twisted on the couch, trying his best to pay attention to you and the television at the same time.

"Yeah, we usually do three days after the death funerals, but Jungkookie hyung has been gone for about four days now, so we're gonna work with that." You frown. You go and join your bestfriend on the couch, and he lays his legs onto of yours with a smile.

"I'm gonna fix you guys some dinner." Seokjin said before he was turning around to the kitchen.

"Did you also talk about yungguks situation?"

You nod, taking one of the pieces of candies on the side of Taehyung. Stuffing it in your mouth you hum at the fruity taste.

"What's gonna happen?" Taehyung cautions.

"I get to keep him, I'm the only family member he has left other than Aunt Mina. And she can't do anymore than she's already done for us."

"Aish i'm happy about that." Taehyung grins.

"Me too." You finish the candy and look around the living room with a questioning look, your eyebrows snapped. "Where's Jimin and Yungguk?"

"Jimin took Yungguk out for ice cream." He cheeses then snaps his mouth shut in a accusing frown. "I wanted to go with them but he said he wanted to spend time with Yungguk alone." Taehyung stuck his bottom lip out in a pout making you laugh.

"We could go for ice cream and cake if you want?" You ask.

"Yes!"

You hop up and grab the keys off the table. "Come on," You giggle.

"Hyung! We're going for ice cream! We'll be right back!"

"But you guys haven't eaten!" Seokjin shrieked, in the process of stiring noodles.

"We won't eat a lot!" Taehyung yells back, a grin on his face before he was closing the door behind him.
