"Now he's alright, let's go home," Mr. Kim said to Jungkook and Yoongi.

"No, let Tae hyung come back," Jungkook said.

"Listen to me, children. Both of you look tired. Let's go home and we can come back after freshening up," Mr. Kim suggested.

Jungkook looked at Yoongi. "You go with uncle."

Yoongi shook his head. "No," he said, looking at the ICU door.

"What I'm telling you is-" Mr. Kim's words were cut off by a loud shout. "YOONGI!"

Yoongi looked at the people who were coming towards him: his stepmother, father, and that old man. Yoongi immediately clutched Jungkook's hand.

"You bloody-" his father began, but Jungkook stood in front of them. "Who are you?" he asked, protecting Yoongi behind him.

Yoongi's father stared at the boy. "This is my son. Move, come here Yoongi," he demanded. Yoongi hid behind Jungkook.

"Look, Mr. This is a hospital. Don't make a scene here," Mr. Kim intervened. "If he is your son, you can talk with him somewhere else." Mrs. Kim and Nayon also arrived.

"You don't interfere. Yoongi, come with me," his father shouted. Some people gathered around them.

"Excuse me. You're not calling him out of love. You want to marry him off to that old man," Jungkook said. "You know he's just 17 years old."

"So what? He's my son, I will do whatever I want. Come here," he insisted, trying to grab Yoongi's hand. Jungkook pushed him, and he fell to the floor.

"You-" he shouted, enraged, before slapping Jungkook. "He's 17, but you're not. You come with us," he said, grabbing Jungkook's hand.

Yoongi immediately hugged Jungkook, who looked around for help.

"Mr., leave him," Mr. Kim said. Taehyung," Kim addressed the man walking towards them.

"What's happening here?" Taehyung asked calmly, removing Min's hand from Jungkook. "Any problem?"

"Who are you?" Min narrowed his eyes.

"Kim Taehyung, Yoongi's brother," Taehyung replied.

"My son has a brother whom I don't know of?" Min gritted his teeth. "Look, boy, I want my son, or I will take him with me," he threatened, eyeing Jungkook.

"Oh, he's my husband. You can't take him like that," Taehyung said, looking at Jungkook and touching his face. Jungkook winced in pain. "Who slapped you?"

Jungkook looked at the man. The next moment, the man was pinned to the wall. Taehyung punched him in the face. "How dare you?" he screamed, continuing to punch him. "How dare you slap him?" Jungkook and Yoongi hugged each other, staring at Taehyung. Mr. Kim gulped, seeing Taehyung's anger. Taehyung took the man's hand. "This is the hand you used to slap my boy?" With a twist, he broke the man's hand, eliciting a loud cry as Min fell to the floor. But Taehyung's anger was at its peak. He started kicking him.

Jungkook slowly moved Yoongi away and ran towards Taehyung, hugging him from behind. "Hyung, it's enough."

"No, I want to kill that bastard," Taehyung shouted.

"Hyung," Jungkook called, kissing Taehyung's neck. "Please, stop." Feeling Jungkook's lips and tears, Taehyung turned to the boy and hugged him. Jungkook hugged him back and cried. Taehyung opened his arms for Yoongi too, and he hugged him as well.

***********

Jungkook cleaned Tae's hand with cotton. "This much anger," he said. "I was scared."

Taehyung didn't say anything.

"Hyung, love you," Jungkook said, kissing Tae's neck.

"Excuse me, guys. A poor patient and a poor minor boy are here," Jimin said, noticing Yoongi looking elsewhere.

"Oh," Taehyung responded, looking at him. Jungkook looked down shyly. "When is your birthday?" Taehyung asked Yoongi.

Yoongi showed four fingers. "After four days."

"The first thing: you should marry him, Jimin," Tae suggested.

"What are you talking about, Tae? Me..."

"Otherwise, they will come again for him," Tae said.

Jimin looked at Yoongi. "Will you marry me, Yoongi?" he asked the boy.

Yoongi looked at them, unsure of what to say. He liked Jimin, but he looked down.

"What's the problem, Yoongi?" Jungkook asked. Jimin and Tae exchanged glances.

Yoongi took his writing pad and wrote something, then showed it to Taehyung. He read the paper, looked at Yoongi, and smiled. "He says he's not good for Jimin. Jimin deserves better."

Jimin and Jungkook smiled at each other.

Taehyung hugged Yoongi and turned towards Jimin. "Mr. Park, are you ready to marry my brother?"

"Yes, I am," Jimin said.

"That's it. Today is Sunday, so next Sunday both of you are getting married," Taehyung declared.

Jimin looked at Yoongi. "Both husband and wife, please get out. Let me talk with my fiancé."

"You're a patient and he's a minor. Sorry, we can't leave both of you alone," Jungkook said.

"So, you can kiss your husband in front of us," Jimin retorted, glaring at Jungkook.

"Yes, we will kiss," Jungkook said, kissing Tae's cheek.

"Oh my God. Just wait for 6 days. I will show you," Jimin said. "We will kiss in front of you, isn't that right, Yoongi?"

By hearing that, Yoongi widened his eyes and hid behind Taehyung. The other three laughed while looking at the boy.

Despite their joyous moments together, a sense of foreboding lingered in the background, casting a subtle but undeniable pall over their lives. As they reveled in their newfound connections and budding relationships, little did they know of the ominous forces gathering on the horizon, poised to disrupt the fragile peace they had found.
