The tattoo shop lit at the late hours of the night was filled with laughter of the people inside it.

"I can't believe you made me bake this for you!" A man screamed at the owner of the building as he handed over the container with the tasty pastry. Yoongi chuckled and thanked him.

"For a pretty boy." He smiled as he hand the cupcake to the injured teenager on the inclined seat. Jimin kissed the man's cheek in return as well as verbally thanked the boy who'd created it.

"Take a few bucks from the register Ken and keep shut."

Laughter erupted in the room once more but the man did not comply. With an annoyed look he propped down on the ground besides Jin. As he did so the door opened again and the threes males accompanied by a female walked in.

"Jimin!" Taehyung rushed to his friend's side. His eyes widened at the sight of the young boy's status. Jimin simply smiled at the boy but he did not smile back.

"Whose ass do I have to drag!? I will smash their head into the concrete if I have to!"

"Yeah! Who did it?!" Hoseok joined his side, eyebrows furrowed.

Yoongi hand made it to each their shoulder, pushing them both back. "Listen Batman and Robin why don't you sit down and calm down, he's fine. Actually no you'll still be annoying just go buy some beer, go on."

The two looked back to Jimin one last time before turning back, a discussion as to who was who in their given nicknames broke out. The woman who joined them walked closer to Jimin, it was the female from the outdoor shooting range.

"What in the world happened to you kid?"

"Doesn't matter." Yoongi interrupted. "What do you want Heize?"

She shrugged, her now colorful hair bounced with the movement of her head. "I'm about to go to Dean's, I need a rubber. Pay back the debt and give me a few."

"Inside my drawing desk." The woman patted his shoulder and walked off. Jimin thought of her request, the phrase did not ring any bells in his head. He wondered whether she was really looking for the material or not.

"Are you tired?"

Jimin shook his head. He was enjoying the company of the group in the room to be pulled away from it by his drowsiness. "I'm okay."

"Come on let's go up stairs baby, you look tired. I have to work tomorrow so I won't leave you alone. What do you say?" Yoongi rubbed the arm of the boy where a bruised laid. Jimin agreed with him and a male was called over.

"Alright Jiminie, I'm going to bend down and you jump okay?" Jackson said before hunching over. He was given a smack on the head by Namjoon who along with Amber helped lift the boy. He was instructed to wrap his arms around the neck of his transportation.

"Drop him and I'll eat you."

Jimin giggled at the joke. Jackson chuckled nervously but was sure to be careful with the cargo on his back. The boy's ride up to the apartment was steady, he was delivered onto the mattress with a soft thump.

"Thank you Hyung." He grinned at the muscular man. He smiled back warming.

"You feel better now kid. Let me know if you need a piggy back anywhere unlike Yoongi here I'm strong enough to carry you anywhere."

"Do you want me to make a meal out of you?"

Jackson laughed and patted the boy's leg softy. He wished them both a goodnight before leaving them be. Jimin giggled at the glare Yoongi gave him the entire time.

"He's very nice."

"He's a pain but I guess he is. He's Joon's best friend."

"I know."

Yoongi raised his eyebrow, he approached him slowly. "Oh so you think you know more than me?" He crawled on the mattress. "You think you know more than me pretty boy."

Jimin giggled at the offended look on the man's face as he approached. He stopped once his forehead touched with the side of the boy's head, he repeated himself again. Jimin took of his face with his injured hands and nodded with a sheepish smile.

"Why because you're so smart? Smart and pretty?"

The seventeen year old's smile grew so large he felt his face ache. Yoongi leaned in closer to close the gap of their face. Jimin reciprocated the action, his hands moved back to the man's neck and hair. He slowly was pushed back against the mattress, he laid with his full body against it. The action deepened in a way he'd never experienced but went along with it anyway until he the elder pulled away. Before he could do anything else Jimin broke out into a fit of giggles.

"What's so funny?"

Jimin shook his head. "Nothing."

Yoongi lip pressed themselves together to form a straight line. "What's so funny baby?"

"Hyung told me they were best friends, you were in the room too."

Yoongi lips unfolded themselves and he looked to the ground. Jimn laughed louder as the man stayed silent. "Not smart Hyung, I just pay attention."

"I see. Fine whatever, let's forget this I feel dumb. I'm going to get you a change of clothes so you can quit laughing at me and go to sleep." He crawled off the bed from the drawer. He set out Jimin a large shirt and nothing else.

"No pants? I'll get cold..."

"No you won't, I'll be there to warm you. I'll let you change. I have to go let those idiots know they have to close shop. Don't fall asleep okay?"
"Yes Hyung." Jimin said. He rose from the bed to carefully reach for the shirt. Yoongi walked to the door, there he stopped but did not turn to look at the boy.

"Just the shirt Jimin."

He slammed the door shut leaving Jimin alone in the dimly lighted room. The lamp that was turned on was barely of help but enough for him to see what he was doing. The request of the elder was complied with, he wore nothing else but the oversize shirt. It covered him just below his underwear so that his legs were almost fully exposed. The milky white skin's complexion looked oddly well with the shirt to his surprise, for once he didn't hate it.

"Better than shorts don't you think?"

Jimin's head shot up to find the older man's gaze of his exposed skin. He chuckled nervously, he hadn't expected him to have returned so soon. The plan to cover himself before he arrived was discarded of so he sat there with bright pink cheeks of embarrassment.

"I-I'm going to uh use the blanket. Can I?"

Yoongi turned to his drawer. "Of course you can baby. Pretty boys like yourself should be spoiled with whatever they want."

Jimin tilted his head. "Whatever I want?...Can I get pants."

"Except that."

"Then how about...you?"

Yoongi turned around. "What?"

"I'm cold. You refuse to give me pants so you said you'd warm me." Jimin said softly, almost in a whisper. Yoongi nodded, he confirmed that was his claim. He changed himself quickly before crawling into the empty side of the bed. He patted his chest where the young boy made himself comfortable. The silence that settle was comforting yet not enough for slumber to fall.

"Thank you Hyung, for everything."Jimin whispered into the silence. The man's hand rubbed his back slowly as he muttered an 'anytime.'

"Don't do what you did today again Jimin. The junkyard should have not be the first place you go to,I am. I'm always in the shop or our get together place. You should have called me, I would have been there in a second to come get you. I would have been there to keep you safe if you had just sent a text or given me a phone call."

Jimin hummed, the words carried so much weight in them he could not find equal ones to respond with.

"You may have your blood family but you have us, all of us Jimin. There are people who are willing to help that you haven't even met yet baby so don't you ever feel like you are on your own because you're not."

"Is that why Amber helped me?" He whispered.

Yoongi nodded. "She's a part of the family you didn't know about, she's like a cousin you didn't know you had. Jackson is too, as is Luna, Jooheon, Chanyeol, Jiho, Jennie, Ravi, and so many more people baby. Don't you think you have no one."

A tear rolled down the cheek of the seventeen year old. More fell but unlike ever before it was not his mother to wipe them away. Not a tear hit the shirt of the man aside from the first for they were all wiped away just in time. He was silence of the unexpected early morning. When he stopped so did the silence.

"We're a big family Jimin and in a family no one is forgotten or left behind. And baby you are part of that family."
