Chapter 9

Taehyung felt the other's hold getting loose as a sign that he fell asleep. He sighed and covered them both under a warm fluffy blanket but careful to not wake the other up in the process. As he was lifting up the edge of the blanket, his eyes fell on something which horrified him to his core. There was a wound of cut on the elder's wrist. His eyes widen and he nervously lifted his own hand and examined the slight red line on the pale white skin of the sleeping boy. He sighed in relief noticing that the cut is not even deep and too far from the veins which means Yunki is safe. The blood has already stopped flowing and only few dry traces of it is left. Taehyung gulped thickly realizing that his hyung started doing all those things again which he was fearing of. He carefully got out of the bed and walked into the bathroom to bring a first aid kit. He sat down beside the sleeping boy and carefully took his wrist in his hand and started treating it. After finishing everything he put the box on the nightstand and laid down beside the older and wrapped his arms around his waist before burring his face in his chest.

The chirping of the birds woke Yunki up and he groaned as he still is feeling a lot tired. All that crying he did last night drained all his energy and now he just wants to sleep and escape this harsh reality. He closed his eyes and hugged the boy in his arms tighter and tried to fall asleep again but his eyes opened when he felt something on his wrist. When he lifted his hand he saw the cut he gave himself the previous day has already been treated. His eyes widen realizing that Taehyung has seen this side of him. The side which he never wanted to expose to anyone as it will only show how weak he is in reality. He felt the boy on his chest started to move slowly. "Good morning hyung." Taehyung smiled and pecked other's lips. "Are you feeling OK now?" He asked looking sadly at the blonde. Yunki slowly nodded although he is still feeling dead inside. The younger noticed the other looking at his wrist and he bit his lip to prevent himself from crying. He lifted his hand and took Yunki's hand in his carefully. "Never do that." Taehyung said and kissed his treated wound. Yunki looked at the boy feeling guilty and averted his gaze when a single tear rolled down his cheek. "I am serious hyung. It hurts me seeing you like this. Please don't do this to yourself. At least for me hyung. Please?" Yunki looks back into the younger's eyes. Something about those midnight eyes always calm down his inner storm. "Promise me that you won't hurt yourself like that. Ever." Taehyung asked at the verge of tearing. Yunki slowly nodded making the brown haired sigh in relief. Taehyung smiled and planted his lips on other's into a sweet tender kiss.

Namjoon was sleeping on the couch in Jin's hospital room when Jin's mother, Mrs. Kim walked inside the room. Her eyes fell on the sleeping and tired boy. His disheveled hairs, the dark circles under his eyes, the puffiness of his face and his skin which seems pale now. A sigh escapes her lips seeing the boy in this condition. She has been watching this guy taking care of her son all the time and she is thankful that a guy like him is in her son's life. She walked to Namjoon and put the lunch box with homemade food inside on the table in front of the couch which she bought for her future son in law like usual. She then walks to the boy sleeping motionlessly on the hospital bed with many tubes being attached to his body. She ran her hand through his hairs and pecked his forehead. "Your mom is missing you my child. Please come back to me." She sobbed and kissed his forehead again before sitting on the stool beside his bed just to look at her son.

It was 2:38 in the afternoon when Namjoon woke up feeling a little fresh from his sleep. Mrs. Kim has already left an hour ago. He groaned and sat up on the couch while rubbing his eyes with a big yawn. His eyes fell on the lunch box and a smile appeared on his face. He is grateful of Mrs. Kim for taking care of him and treating him like her own son. He got up from the couch and made his way to bathroom attached with the room to wash his hands and face. The bathroom is so small that one can only stand that is why Namjoon prefers to take his showers at home. After washing away the remaining sleepiness he walked back to the couch and begins eating. He loves Mrs. Kim's cooking. Guess Jin got his cooking skills from his mother.

After finishing his food he fetched out his cell phone from his side pocket and checked the time which told it was already three in the afternoon. He noticed some messages from his friends telling him to take care and asking about Jin. After replying to all of them he locked the phone and put it on the table and got up before walking to his boyfriend. He caressed his cheek and sat on the stool before taking his hand in his own carefully. "I love you hyung and I miss you a lot." He sighed. "Don't you miss me baby?" "You made me promise to never leave you alone and now you are not coming back to me." He wiped his tears before speaking again. "I know you can hear me. Doctor said that you can hear everything. You can hear me right baby?" "Why are you doing this to me hyung?" "I am here dying slowly inside without you. Without your giggles. Your beautiful smile. Your touches. Your whining." He smiled thinking of everything he mentioned about the older. "Everything. I miss everything about you hyung." "You don't know how much I regret for asking you that day to pick me up. It was all because of me. You are here because of me." "I am so sorry baby. I wish it was me instead of you. You don't deserve this." "Plea..." He stopped talking when he felt Jin's hand moved slightly. He looked at the hand curiously and expectantly but saw nothing. No movement. Was that his imagination? He looked back at Jin's face and saw him still laying with his eyes closed in the same position as before. A sigh escaped his lips in disappointment. "I think I have started getting crazy without you."

Jimin is sitting on his favorite spot which is the bench near the tree with a book in his hand but he is being unable to concentrate at the moment. The images of his younger brother kissing that guy is still disturbing him. He is aware that he is slowly developing feelings for the latter but he doesn't want to accept it. "It's not my business he said. How can it not be my business? I won't let someone take advantage of my Jeongguk." He started rambling to himself. "Because of that guy my bunny doesn't talk to me anymore. He doesn't spend time with me anymore. And why the fuck was I sad when he told me that he is trying to move on from me? Argh! I will go mad thinking about all this. But I won't let you take my Jeongguk away from me, Cinhae." He pushed his hairs back in frustration and glared at the rose plant in front imagining it as the guy he hates. "I AM his hyung. He likes ME more than you. He will always come to his hyung. He will always choose me over you. He..." "Are you OK?" He got startled when he heard a voice near his ear and turned his head in the speed of light to see the cause of his action. His eyes fell on a boy who is smiling and looking at him in amusement. "Taemin? You scared me!" He glared at the other who started laughing. "You are cute." He commented making Jimin blush a little. "By the way what are you doing here?" "Just reading this." Jimin replied and lifted the book in his hand a little while Taemin nodded. "Anyway I came here to invite you to a party" "Party?" Jimin frowned. "Yeah. I just feel like throwing one. So are you going to come?" "I don't know." "Oh come on it will be fun. You can bring your girlfriend with you." Jimin looked at him confused. "Rose. Isn't she your girlfriend?" Jimin sighed and shook his head in denial. "Oh really? You guys seem pretty close to me." "But now I am happy that you are single." Taemin smirked making Jimin raise his brow. "That means I have a chance with you. Maybe after this party you will be mine." Taemin wiggled his eyebrows making Jimin roll his eyes while laughing. "When is this party of yours?" "Friday at 7pm and you have to come." "I am still not sure. I will tell you tomorrow." Taemin nodded and left after kissing Jimin's cheek making him blush.

Since he came back from the university Taehyung has been sitting in his room on bed while using his cell phone but he cannot focus. Only the thoughts of what he witnessed last night is scaring him. Why the older is doing this? What happened in the past which is forcing Yunki to break like this. He wants to know the answers but how? The older won't tell him no matter how much he asks. Should he ask someone else? Namjoon must know about this. Or should he ask Mr. and Mrs. Han? Would they tell him? He doesn't think so. He should first try to talk to Namjoon. "I will talk to him when I will go to the hospital" He got up from the bed and walked out of the room. His tiger onesie making him look cuter and more adorable than he already is. The tail behind him is moving with ever step he takes. He walked into the hall and saw Hoseok going somewhere. "Where are you going hyung?" He asked making the other halt in his steps and turn around. "Oh Tae? I am just going to the hospital. You need something?" Taehyung shook his head in denial. "Alright then I am get going." With that the black haired left. Taehyung looked around to search for someone particular but find none. "He must be in his room" with that he made his way to a specific door. Even after knocking few times he got no reply which made him panicked thinking about the last night's incident. Is he trying to hurt himself again? He panicked and quickly went inside but stopped when he saw the boy sleeping peacefully. He smiled and then chuckled at the cute sight. The white blanket which was supposed to cover Yunki's body is laying on the floor while he is clutching to a pillow tightly to his chest like it is a teddy bear. His lips are slightly parted and have a very small amount of drool in the corner.

Taehyung slowly walks to the bed and carefully tried to snatch the pillow from the other's tight grip. Because of sudden loss of warmth Yunki scrunched his nose in sleep making the younger chuckle. He picked the blanket from the floor and covered the older so that he won't feel cold before he himself laid beside him and snuggled to him under the blanket. The comeback of warmth made Yunki's body relaxed and he hugged the younger thinking that it's his fluffy pillow. The action made the younger blush and he hid his face in the blonde's chest and soon drifted to sleep.

"In the morning when I was talking to him, I felt that his hand moved but when I checked... it was still." Namjoon said after sipping his coffee. He and Hoseok decided to come to a nearby café as per elder's request because Hoseok wanted his friend to have some fresh air and relax his mind. "Everything is gonna be alright buddy. As I said before Jin hyung is a strong person and he will get better soon in no time. Besides doctor is telling that he is recovering pretty fast which is a good thing." Namjoon sighed and nodded. "What about the police? What are they saying about the case?" Hoseok enquired further. Namjoon put the coffee cup in his hand on the table before speaking. "Officer Park said that some girl is behind Jin's condition. They got many evidences from the site. Like a painted finger nail and a hair sample and even the tires' marks." "I hope that bitch gets arrested soon." "I just want Jin hyung to be alright. I cannot see him like this anymore." "Relax Joon. Everything will be alright."
