YOU GUYS WERE WAITING AND SORRY I WAS OUT BUT HERE'S THE MIC DROP LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hobi hyung, I'm done and I feel so much-"

"Hello, bunny."

Taehyung tilts his head looking at Jungkook with a smirk.

=======================================

Jungkook stopped midway of the stairs when he saw the man standing next to Hoseok.

Taehyung smiles, no. Taehyung smirks at him.

"Jungkook..."

Hoseok looks at the boy worriedly.

"Hyung...he...he..."

"You look good, sure you learned how to take a bath well."

Taehyung smirks wider.

"Taehyung."

Hoseok's voice is laced with warning.

"Relax, I'm not here to cause any trouble."

Taehyung casually took steps and sits on the sofa.

Hoseok hurriedly went to the frozen boy's side.

"Jungkook, listen to hyung. It's okay. You'll be fine. I will protect you."

Hoseok placed his palms on both Jungkook's cheeks making him stare at the determined eyes of his hyung.

"Hobi hyung."

"I promise."

Jungkook slowly nodded but clenches his fist on Hoseok's sleeve as they walked closer to the man sitting. They took the opposite sofa, facing Taehyung. Jungkook refused to let Hoseok's sleeve and never meet the blonde's eyes.

"Taehyung..."

"That's my name, Hobi hyung."

He answers playfully with a smile.

"H-hyung, you know...you k-know him?"

Jungkook stared at his hyung who has his gaze fixed on his friend.

"Of course, I am his friend. His favorite dongsaeng."

Taehyung answers and chuckles.

Jungkook swallowed hard before slowly turns his head to the man.

Hoseok can feel the younger's shaking. He took the other's hand and squeezing it in the process to assure the boy.

"Say it, Tae."

Hoseok demanded.

"I'm here for the bunny."

Hoseok felt the grip on his hand tighten.

"You can't touch him."

Hoseok glared at his friend.

Taehyung giggles. But soon replaced with an innocent smile that Hoseok never really wanted to trust even when he fucking looks cute.

"Why are you so rude to me today, hyung? I just wanted to return his phone."

Taehyung pushes a phone on the table.

Jungkook stared at his broken phone. His eyes widened when he remembered his hyungs.

"Alright, I'll leave now."

Taehyung stood up.

"See you soon, bunny."

He waves before leaving with a smile plastered on his face.

Once the main door closes, both Jungkook and Hoseok let out a deep and long sigh.

"Hyung."

"I know you have a lot of questions. I will answer them all but please don't freak out. And trust me."

"Hyung...you...V..."

"Yes. He's my friend. We have known each other for a long time now. Together with 2 other friends."

"Hyung, d-does that mean you...you know he..."

"Yes. I know what he does. But I don't know exactly how he does them. And I honestly don't wanna know."

"Hyung..."

"I know what you're thinking. No. I am not one of them. I don't do what they do. They always keep those things away from me. Even when there are times I really wanna know, they would always hide it from me."

Jungkook listens carefully as Hoseok gives him all the answers to his unspoken questions.

"Jungkook..."

"N-ne?"

"I don't know what you've done or seen for Taehyung to do this to you. There's only one thing I'm asking you now."

Jungkook nods slowly.

"Forget everything- No, I know it's impossible to do that."

Hoseok sighs and closes his eyes before opening them and staring deeply into Jungkook's.

"Do. Not. Mention. Anything. To. Anyone."

"H-hyung...."

"I know you know Taehyung can be very dangerous. I promised to protect you but I can't always do that. Even Jin hyung or Jimin. The only way to protect them, you and others, is for you to keep it."

"I don't know, Hobi hyung."

"Jungkook, it's no use reporting to police or to anyone. They can control those people with money."

"I know it's a lot to take, Kookie. Here, take my other number too. The number I gave to our class is just work number. Get my personal number and contact me anytime you want to talk or whatever."

Hoseok grabs his phone and dials Jungkook's number.

When his phone rang, they were both startled and jumped a little from their seats.

"Oh my gosh! That scared me!"

Hoseok exclaimed holding the phone near his chest.

"I should take you home before the sun sets. Your hyungs must have been so worried."

"Hobi hyung, what will I tell them?"

"Just remember what I told you. I'll be talking to them. Trust me, okay?"

"Ne, Hobi hyung."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tok! Tok! Tok!

"Coming!"

Jin walks to the door and opens it. His eyes widened and tears started falling as he stares at his younger brother standing in front of him.

"H-hi, hyung."

Jungkook nervously greeted him while waving.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Jungkook. Jungkook, you're here! What happened? Where were you?! Are you okay? Why did you not answer our calls? You did not even message us!!!"

Jin literally pulled him into a bone-crushing hug and squeezing him even more as the boy struggles to breathe normally.

"Ahem..."

Jin finally turns his gaze to the man standing behind Jungkook.

"Hoseok-ah?"

"Hello, Jin hyung."

"Jin hyung, what's with the noise- Jungkook?! Jungkookie!!!"

Jimin came running and once again, Jungkook struggles to breathe as his smaller hyung hugs him tightly tearing up as well.

"Hyung, I'm fine. I'm okay. I'm here now."

"Hey, come in first. Let's talk inside. Come in."

Jin pushes the two youngest and pulls Hoseok inside before closing the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So that's what happened within 4 days of your disappearance. But why did you not call me or messaged Jimin?"

Jin crosses his arms.

"S-sorry, hyung. I accidentally dropped my phone while practicing and broke it."

Jungkook took his phone out and showed his broken phone.

"But still, why did you not ask me to go with you?! I would love to have private dance lessons with Hobi hyung too!"

Jimin pouts while glaring cutely at Jungkook.

"You were so busy with your work and requirements for graduation, hyung. I don't want to disturb you."

Jungkook lowered his head because he feels guilty for lying.

"Ne, the first day was fine and good aside from him breaking his phone. But that night he got sick and got a really high fever. I wanted to call you but he said he doesn't want to worry you both."

Hoseok added and glances at Jungkook with a small smile.

"Okay, fine. But why did you have to lie? Why did you say you will have a sleepover at Bambam's?"

Jin raises his brow while Jimin waited for an answer.

Jungkook furrowed his brows in confusion. Hoseok noticed it and decided to answer.

"Actually, He said he would go to Bambam's house that night but I didn't allow him because he wasn't feeling good."

Hoseok quickly covers the situation.

Taehyung, that kid.

Hoseok thought.

Jin sighs.

"Have you eaten? I just finished cooking when you two arrived."

"Oh, that makes me hungry. I wanted to visit the restaurant you're working at but I couldn't leave Jungkook alone at home."

Hoseok beamed, getting excited about the word 'food'.

"Oh? Speaking of that, why are you home early today, Jin hyung?"

Jungkook blinks at his hyung.

"How can I work thinking our maknae is missing but he was actually sick in his instructor's house? I took a week leave."

"Me too. I already resigned but I didn't recommend you because you went missing so they had to look for another gasoline boy."

Jimin smiled brightly.

"Sorry, hyungs."

Jungkook pouts.

"It's okay. Let's forget about it and just be thankful you're here and okay now."

Jin pats his head.

"Now, why don't we have our dinner now?"

They all smiled before racing to the kitchen.
