jeongguk woke up when he heard sobs coming from his right. he lazily opened his eyes but the room was pitch black, but he felt the smaller frame next to him shake.

« jimin, jimin baby are you ok? » he whispered but he didn't get a reply. his eyes adjusted to the dark and he noticed he was crying in his sleep. he turned around to wrap his arms around him and kiss his forehead.

« no... please don't... don't leave me here... please... » he heard jimin whimper and it made him worry. he first thought it was just a nightmare, but he wasn't sure anymore.

« you can't leave... they will hurt me... » he frowned at the older's words, he tried harder to wake him up. he shook him a little bit and kept whispering sweet nothings. jimin gasped and gripped his strong arms tightly when he woke up.

« it's ok baby, i'm here, you're safe, no one will hurt you. » his breathing was uneven and he seemed panicked. his cheeks were wet with tears, jeongguk whipped them away carefully.

jimin rested his head on his torso and started talking. « you know, i've never had a family. when i was little my parents left me. they gave me to an orphan. i spent my first years there, and then they kept trying to make me adopted, but it never worked. i was an anxious kid, i kept doing panic attacks and all the families ended up hating me and giving me back to the orphan. » his voice was cracking, it made jeongguk's heart broke to hear his story, but he let him talk.

« when they were done with me, i was maybe 10, they stopped taking care of me. i had to make my food myself, i burned myself several times but they never helped me. they didn't take me out with the other kids, i felt like i was the worst person ever, that i did something bad. one day, my only friend left, and it's the worst memory i can remember. »

« when he left, everything changed. they weren't just ignoring me, they were also hurting me. not directly, but the other kids were and they were just watching. they never took me to the hospital when i was bleeding like crazing nor cleaned my wounds. »

« when i was 18 i left as fast as i could, not caring about where i would live. i just had enough of getting hurt every single day. like i told you, the only thing that helped me was music, i kept dancing when i was sad or angry, it helped me to calm down. i guess this is why i still love to dance so much, it helped me to go though my hardest time. » his voice was more even when he finished telling his story, but jeongguk him was crying.

« jimin, you don't have to worry anymore. we're all here for you, i know we could never replace a mom and dad's love, but we all love you and care about you like a brother. we will never leave you or judge you. you can always count on us and trust us with your life. i'll always be there for you love. » jimin felt like crying again, he loved them so much, not as idols anymore, but as family.
