Jimin stumbled to Jin nearly knocking him off balance as he crawling into his arms wrapping around him crying he thought he had the best chance with the eldest to get his way. The red shorts still in his hand and only now did he realize he was holding onto him while the elder was shirtless as well. He couldn't even help the blush as he hid in his neck.

"What's wrong?" He asked rubbing his back.

"I hit Yoongi" he whispered "and I'm scared"

"Why? Did he do something to you?" He asked. Jimin shook his head "I was just so mad at him. He's the reason I'm here"

"But at least he didn't kill you yet...aren't you happy you met the rest of us though?" He asked softly brushing his hair before he turned and gently kissed his cheek.

Jimin didn't respond. If he answered he would have told the truth. He could lie but Jin would know so he just stayed silent and hugged him tighter. He could have lived his whole life without knowing these boys and be fine.

"Come on let's get you dressed and we can go down there"

"Don't want to. Yoongi's mad at me"

"You did hit him"

"He hurt me first! Stop blaming me! It hurts me when everyone does that. Stick up for him. He kidnapped me" he said firmly.

"Jimin you know that we all are in love with Yoongi and we defend him. He makes choices that are for the best and we just have to trust him" he said softly sitting down with Jimin because he was worried he would drop him.

"So it would have been for the best if he shot me that day in the bathroom when I tried to escape?" He asked watching Jin sigh. "He loses his temper yes, but he never actually pulled the trigger but you keep trying to get him to. I'm honestly surprised I wasn't called into his room to clean your blood off the ground after you hit him. He didn't touch you after you hurt him"

"You're just like him" Jimin said crawling off of Jins lap and staring at him distrustfully. He hugged himself and took a sharp gasp of air feeling it so hard to breath suddenly. "You all are just like him" he said clutching his chest and walking backwards very dizzy as he hit the wall and slid down towards until his butt hit the floor. He wrapped his arms around his knees and hid his face breathing hard.

"Jimin"

"No" he said sharply hugging himself tighter "I don't know what to do. If I got out now I don't even know where I would go. I have nobody left, not one person or reason to be alive" he whispered he wasn't even crying anymore it just felt numb in his heart.

Suddenly Jin was sitting in front of him cupping his cheeks "me you have me as a reason. I would be devastated if you left me Jimin. The other boys will agree with me. We can be your reasons" he said softly stroking his cheek with his thumb.

"No you don't care about me" he said "I'm just a distraction for now"

"Fuck no. Jimin you are not. We do not just let anyone who Yoongi kidnaps into our home into our beds. You are here because we like you a lot Jimin. I don't know about the other boys yet but I know that I love you" he said softly as he stared at Jimin waiting for his reaction. Jimin closed his eyes tightly and gently gripped onto Seokjins hands holding them.

"Are you just saying that?" He murmured.

"No" the elder said "I mean what I said" he leaned forward kissing his lips gently. Jimin who had his eyes closed was startled but let him continue before he very softly kissed back before crawling into Jins lap hiding in his chest just needing comfort not caring who it was. He just needed to be held. In a way he cared about the man, but he wouldn't say he loved him. But what is love? He was willing to let go of everything to save Hoseok. Maybe it was guilt, or morality. He didn't know.

"Will you be mad if I don't say it back?" He whispered softly.

"No" Seokjin smiled warmly down at him as he pet his hair and rubbed his neck softly.

"Promise?"

"Promise" he said.

"Can you save me from Yoongi? He's really gonna make me sleep alone in the basement and I'm scared" he said softly fearing what thoughts would plague his mind.

"I'll talk with him baby but let's just relax for now. Now go get your swim shorts on" he said helping him stand.

"They're not mine. They are Tae's" he told him.

"Maybe next week we can start shopping for your stuff? Hmm? Yoongi still has rooms available" he said watching the younger walk to the bathroom. "Maybe" Jimin shrugged.
