Jimin watched Jungkook leave the house with wide, dead eyes. He knew this would happen...of course this would happen. As soon as Jungkook didn't stand up for him against Jae, he knew what was going to happen. He crouched down and held his legs close to his chest, as his eyes squeezed closed, trying not to cry.

"Jimin...what...are you okay?..." Taehyung went over to him, carefully placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I-I'm sorry...just..." Jimin stood up, wiping his eyes. "You guys...make sure he's alright, okay? I'll...I'll go now..."

"No, Jimin. Are you okay? What happened that made him decide that? I will talk to him-"

"No Jin hyung. I deserve this. I messed up. But I don't want you guys to feel concerned about this, even though I know you will, please don't. You can't be the reason we patch up, if we ever do. I...I messed up." Jimin nodded, coming to his conclusion as we went to the door. Taehyung grabbed his wrist before he could.

"Jimin hyung, we want to help. So please, if we can help, just tell us." Taehyung let go of his wrist.

"Thank you for the offer...but you've done enough. Thank you though." Jimin smiled at both of them, obviously on the brink of tears, as he left the house.

"Taehyung..."

"Yeah. Yeah, Jungkook found out about Jimin's past. But Jimin doesn't know about Jungkook's kidnapping...Jin hyung...what should we do?"

"Telling Jimin about Jungkook being kidnapped won't help the situation, I think that's for Jungkook to tell to Jimin. But...Jimin's past...it's not particularly great...and it seems like Jae spoiled it. That's what I could tell. So Jungkook's...yeah, I can understand."

"But Jin hyung...hyung, this is bad! Jungkook's gunna start his mopping again, and you know that's how bad things start! And now Jimin? He's also gunna loose it...what should we do?"

"I...I think this one needs time...so maybe Jimin's right. This time we shouldn't concern ourselves too much into this fight. Whenever we fixed things, bad things happened immediately after, so perhaps if they fix it themselves it'll stay fixed."

"Let's just hope hyung..."

Jimin went to his shared apartment, passing by Hoseok, Namjoon, and Yoongi, who were all here on standby if needed as backup.

"Jimin-"

But Jimin had already walked to his room, shutting the door and falling onto his bed, crying immediately. He heard a soft knock on the door.

"Jiminie...are you okay?" Hoseok was trying to be patient, Jimin could tell. "Can I come in?"

Jimin nodded his head, before remembering that Hoseok couldn't see him, yet no words would come out of his wailing mouth.

"Alright, I'm coming in." Hoseok opened the door and immediately went over to hug the crying boy. He rubbed his back as he pulled him into a tighter hug. "Shhhh...it's gunna be okay Jimin, don't worry...I'm here..."

"H-hyung...he..." Jimin couldn't finish his statement as he cried harder, thinking about the situation over and over and over. "He b-broke up...with...m-me..."

"What?!"

"H-hyung he..." Jimin tried to control his breathing. "He found out."

"Oh...oh Jimin, I'm so sorry he found out that way. Was it in the fight?"

Jimin nodded.

"Jimin, you should rest...you must be tired. Mentally, and physically." Hoseok didn't pull away from the hug as Jimin nodded. "And it seems you already took a shower...so I hope you can sleep at all tonight. If you want, I can sleep next to you when I get ready to sleep?"

Jimin shook his head.

"Okay...please get some rest tonight..."

Jimin nodded.

"Okay..." Hoseok moved away, and closed the door on his way out, glancing at Jimin one last time.

Hoseok walked to the others, shaking his head.

"Hoseok, what happened?" Namjoon was definitely concerned. "Please don't say anything too bad..."

"Jungkook broke up with him. He found out about Jimin's...past mistakes shall we say, and he was obviously upset about it. Namjoon hyung...what should we do?"

"Oh. That's not great...but shouldn't we leave this to them?" Yoongi spoke before Namjoon could. "I mean, Jimin should understand, since he must also be upset learning about Jungkook's incident right?"

"What incident?" Namjoon looked at Yoongi.

"Ooooh...oh, that makes sense. Jungkook- of course he didn't say. No, guys, Jungkook was kidnapped by Jae after they broke up, another reason why he's terrified of him. Jae didn't like being overpowered, so once Jungkook had his own house, Jae found him and took him. That's about the time I met Jin hyung, since he asked for a tracker. Once he told me the issue, because I pried, I helped them out."

"He was kidnapped?!" Namjoon exclaimed quietly, since he didn't want Jimin to overhear. Hoseok looked just as shocked.

"Is there more Yoongi?"

"Yeah. Jae was using his powers on Jungkook so much, that Jungkook had started to forget things. So when we finally found him outside one day, after a month and a half of searching, he didn't even remember Jin hyung. I was terrified of what Jae was doing so I payed him a...visit. But Jungkook wasn't with him. It took another month to find his location, and another half a month to set him free. Those three months were so bad...I dunno where Jungkook would be now if I hadn't have found him. God...I still wish I could've done something earlier."

"That's horrible...Jae really did that?"

"Yeah. But we didn't have enough on him to put him in jail. And Jungkook's grown so much. He's literally the sweetest boy I know...yet he's had so much done to him."

"Mmm...it makes sense why Jungkook wouldn't want to tell anyone. Everyone would baby him."

"Jin did for a long time, but it got much better. We're just lucky Jungkook remembers everything now. He cried once he found out he had forgotten Jin."

"Damn...I wish I had beaten Jae more, that fucking-"

"No, don't Hoseok." Namjoon stopped him. "What matters now is how do we fix this problem." The others nodded.

"Is...all of that true?" A voice made Hoseok and Namjoon jump, Yoongi just looking up.

"Shit- Jimin, what are you doing up?" Hoseok gave a small panicked smile.

"Is all of that true Yoongi hyung?"

"How much did you hear?" Yoongi questioned.

"All of it...I...I..." Jimin's eyes were red and puffy, his body looked slow and tired. "I didn't know so much happened to him..."

"I'm sure it was just because he didn't want to be babied again, but...it is a big part of his reluctance to stay inside." Yoongi tried to make sense of it, and Jimin nodded sadly.

"Doesn't that just mean he didn't trust me enough?"

"Jiminie...he's probably just as upset that you didn't tell him things either. I mean...if I were Jungkook, I would also be afraid to fall in love again. Ya know?" Hoseok gave a small apologetic smile.

"Yeah..." Jimin looked down.

"Hey. We'll get this back to normal. Eventually, things will get better. Look at me Jimin." Namjoon spoke to him, like the true leader he is. "It sucks now, but together it'll get better. There's no way this'll end badly. All we can do is wait, since he definitely needs time to think about this whole thing."

"Yeah...I know you're right...but just how much time does he need?"

"I dunno Jimin. It could be days, or weeks, months or years. But you have to be patient okay?"

"Years?...I think I'd rather die then wait that long to see him again..."

"Not every love story is perfect without issues. You knew this, so you have to be patient."

"I just wanted to love him..."

"Jimin, you should sleep..." Hoseok walked over and took Jimin's hand, walking him back to his room.

The other two stole glances at each other.

"This is bad..." Namjoon shook his head.

"I know. I'll check on Jungkook soon, maybe check in with Jin if Jungkook doesn't want to talk. Namjoon...Jungkook is never good in these situations. He'll act tough, but he'll cry when no ones watching. I was his therapist after the incident, so I spent a lot of time with him. I need you to be with Jin hyung a lot, make sure you guys keep up with Jungkook along with Jimin okay?"

"You make it sound like you're leaving..."

"No. I'm just going to be busy."

"No more weapons Yoongi...I've...I've invited you to make music with me...it covers everything you said you wanted."

"It's not weapons this time. And I'm taking your offer, maybe ask Jungkook too."

"Then what is it?"

"I'll tell you if it works out. I'm going to make sure Jae stays in prison forever. With all of his charges, it'll be a lot of years, but with his power...I'm going to make sure he can't use it."

"So yes a weapon..."

"For...us though...so it's okay." Yoongi nodded. "It'll be okay."

"Yoongi...after this...I want this to be your last weapon, okay?"

"I'll try."

"Thank you Yoongi. I hope to make good music with you. And Jungkook."

Yoongi smiled as he saw Hoseok coming back. "Yeah, me too. I've already got some good ideas."

~

"Jin hyung, I don't want to hear this."

"Jungkook, you have to understand though!"

"Jin hyung! You're the one who isn't understanding! I don't want the trial in court to be so soon! Can you please...give it a week, or give it a month or two?"

"I don't know how long they'll hold him Jungkook. Without the trial, they might let him go."

Jungkook sighed heavily, leaning back in his chair. They were at Yoongi's cafe for their private meeting, since Yoongi said it was okay, and was in the back room for the day. "Hyung...how long do you think they'll hold him?"

"Maybe a week, maybe a little more."

"How many people will be there."

"Everyone who's ever been harmed by him."

"...so Jimin will be there...?"

"Yes Jungkook. And Taehyung, Yoongi, Hoseok, and Namjoon and I. We'll all be there to trial against him, along with some other random bystanders who were also harmed."

"...can you tell me the day we can do it last? I don't want to see Jimin..."

"Jungkook, you can't avoid him forever. It's already been a couple days now...so please. I can make the trial the last day possible, but I want you to be ready."

"I'm ready to put Jae in jail, not see Jimin. He's...I don't want to see him..."

"Jungkook. You can't do this."

"I can Jin hyung. And I will. I don't want to face him."

"Because?"

"This has gotten fairly off topic I'd say..." Jungkook laughed nervously.

Jin sighed. "Sorry. I just don't want you to leave him behind. You have to understand that he probably has reasons for having not talked about it yet, and that you also haven't told him things."

"...Yoongi hyung told him..."

"What?! When?!"

"Yoongi hyung told me right before you came to meet me...he said it was an accident, but Jimin still knows. So now I really don't want to see him."

"Jungkook. So what he knows? Now you both know the things you were hiding from each other. What's wrong now?"

"He murdered people Jin hyung. I'm not okay with that."

"But do you know why?"

"No, do you? Are you trying to justify murder? He should be in jail. Right beside Jae."

"Jungkook, you can't put everyone in jail who wronged you, cause then I'd be there too. Look. I'm just saying, he must have a reason, and he's your soulmate. You can't let that go to. He's meant to be with you for a reason, as for why you're meant to be with him."

"The next time I'll see him is at the trial, then at his funeral."

"I can't tell if you're joking or not Jungkookie..."

"I don't know either. Guess we'll find out."

"I'll make the trial happen, but please...don't ignore him..."

"Hyung. I miss him. Of course I'm going to ignore him. I hate that I love him, okay? You know that I'm not sleeping, but I think if I ignore him, he'll stop loving me, and then it'll be okay."

"Jungkook, no! You're not eating either, and you haven't taken a shower. Also you've been running to much, calm down. I know you're also in a bad spot because of this, but I want you to stop being so disheveled. At least function like a normal human."

"I'm trying hyung...but my motivation to exist is gone."

"No, you pushed him away."

"He...he wasn't my motivation...what am I kidding, I know he is..." Jungkook sighed and rested his head in his hands.

"Jungkook. I promise things will get better. And I know that all of this will get fixed...but that depends on you and Jimin."

"I don't want to see him Jin hyung. I think that explains our situation pretty well."

"Well I won't stand for that. So get off your ass and start seeing what's really happening."

"Excuse you, I'm not lazy. I get off my ass more then you do."

"That's a lie. I have two jobs, cover anyone who needs it, go to the gym, go out at night, and cook real meals for myself. You just have a job and run. You count instant noodles as a real meal."

"Is it not?"

Jin smiled. "Not really. Maybe you should come over and I'll feed you."

"I know what you really mean is that I'm coming over no matter what."

"Glad you caught on."

"And I won't be a third wheel?"

"Nope. I'm getting better at keeping everyone in a conversation."

"Then maybe I'll come tonight."

"You will you mean."

"Yeah, I will."
