"The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive."

"We're extremely sorry for not prioritizing your issue. We should've taken it seriously. The culprit has been arrested."

"Your stupid apologies doesn't change the fact that Taehyung is in a life threatening situation right now!" Yoongi's father yelled in the face of the officer. "Sir please calm down."

"Calm down!? My son got raped and his friend got his neck sliced open! How the fuck do you think I can calm down!" Yoongi's mom was holding Yoongi tightly while he was crying his eyes out. "Mom this is all my fault. I should've never-"

"Min Yoongi don't you dare blame yourself for someone else's actions!" She held him even closer, wiping away his tears. Yoongi shivered from all the anxiety going through his body when his phone screen lit up.

"....Hello?"

"Yoongi where are you? Taehyung texted me if you were with me and I haven't gotten an answer from him for like an hour!"

"...I'm, ...I'm at the hospital."

"What!? What happened?"

"I will tell you when you get here... Also, please bring Hayun with you."

"Hayun? Why Ha-"

Yoongi hung up, the emotions getting too much for him. His mother looked pitifully at him, rubbing his upper arm. "Did you tell Tae's family?"

"The hospital already did sweetie, they're on their way here." Yoongi slumped down, leaning into his mother's arms. "Do you know when we can see him?" She looked at her son with teary eyes, wiping the bangs out of his face. "I don't know if we ever can sweetheart."

"Wha.... What?"

-

The door to the waiting room got opened by a nurse, Hoseok and Hayun walking through. "What happened?" Yoongi stood up, engulfing Hoseok in a hug. "You got me worried sick, why are we at the hospital?"

"Hyeonjun he- and well-" 

"Slow breaths baby. Slow." Yoongi took a deep breath in before looking at his mother for help. She sighed, wiping away her own tears. "Hyeonjun broke in on our property, he raped Yoongi." Hoseok gasped, holding Yoongi even tighter. Hayun put a comforting hand on their shoulders, feeling insanely bad for them. He knew all the stress they had gone through to keep that maniac away from him. "And...." This caught Hoseok's and Hayun's attention again. "There's more?"

"He attacked Taehyung.... They're currently operating on him to try and save his life." The tears came out of her eyes again, she pressed her lips in a thin line trying to not let all her walls break down. "Hayun I'm so sorry, I tried to stop him." Hayun stared blankly at the wall, frozen in place. "He.... He might die?" Hoseok clasped his hand in front of his mouth, shock overtaking him. "Taehyung's strong! I'm sure that the succes rate is high!" Hayun tried, not wanting to face reality. 

Yoongi's mother put her hand on Hayun's shoulder and softly shook her head. "They gave him 2 percent." Her voice came out as a whisper. "I have failed, I promised I would protect him with my life.... His family will hate me." She left the room, needing a breather. Hoseok turned back to Yoongi. "Are you okay?" Yoongi wiped his tears away and shook his head. Hoseok kissed Yoongi's forehead. "Like Hayun said.... He's strong. He'll make it. Just.... Yoongi don't blame yourself for this."

"But I am to blame!" Hoseok cupped his face, rubbing his thumbs over his skin. "No, no you really are not." Hayun slumped down in the seat, holding his head. "I can't believe this." Tears started building up in his eyes. "I'm so sorry." Yoongi sobbed, putting his forehead against Hoseok's shoulder. 

Hoseok looked down the hallway, a group of medical staff rushing into the operating room
