"Y/N-ah come here!" Jimin called after keeping his phone down.

"Yes?" You came down and stood in front of him.

"Get ready we have to go somewhere" he said.

"Where?" You asked excitedly. He chuckled and made you sit on his lap.

"MinSeok Oppa's house" he said and waited for you to cheer happily. But your smile fell at the name. You frowned and looked at him,

"Why his house? I don't wanna go there" you said shaking your head.

"Why not? I thought you liked to spend time with him" he said.

"I did. Now I don't. Please don't take me there." You said.

"But baby I can't leave you at home alone, you have to stay at Minseok oppa's place for a few hours." He said. You shook your head, telling him no.

"Why not princess? Is something wrong?" Jimin asked. You thought for a moment, then slowly shook your head. He sighed and rubbed your back, "It'll be fine. You said he's nice right?"

"Where are you going?" You asked in a small voice.

"To the office" he said and noticed your expression change a bit, "and No I can't take you there." Your face fell again.

Your eyes were close to tearing up, "Please oppa, I don't wanna go there. I'll be good a girl, I promise." You said.

"I know Y/N, but why don't you wanna go to his house? You've to tell me if there's a problem." He said and you were quiet again.

—

"No! I'm not going there!" You shouted, and threw the jacket away. Jimin sighed and caught your arm.

"I don't understand what's wrong" he said, "get ready we're leaving in ten minutes, you've thrown enough tantrums today."

You almost cried telling him you don't wanna go to Minseok's house, especially when you'll be there alone. No. You didn't know how to tell Jimin what was wrong. You remembered the last time you went there.

"Bye Y/N-ah! I'll be back till the evening." Jimin said and left.

"Y/N, let's go, do you wanna play something cool?" Minseok asked. You nodded your head smiling at him.

"Aahh!!! Noo!!!"

"SHUT UP!"

"...O-Oppa.."

"DO NOT TAKE HIS NAME!"

And hit you harder this time. The belt was hurting you bad. Very bad to be honest. Nobody ever tried to hit you from your family, then why was Minseok abusing you like this?

"Please s-stop..." You cried and he smirked, enjoying the view of you on the floor, crying due to all the beating. Your eyes appeared red and swollen.

"Okay, if you want." Minseok said. You wiped your tears and glared at him. He raised his eyebrows and gave an amused look, "Do not give me that look. You don't even know what I'm capable of doing. Oh and keep your mouth shut. Or I'll make sure your lovely brother suffers, understand?"

You looked down, Jimin and Jungkook should not be harmed. You nodded slowly. He smirked, it was easy to scare you like that. Just say anything about your brothers and you'd be ready to even jump off the cliff. Not your fault though, you were still a child who'd get scared by the thought of someone hurting your family.

"I said I don't wanna go!" You said as tears formed in your eyes.

Jimin was really confused today, you never behave like this. He tried asking you what's the problem, but you said nothing. And there, he had had enough. He zipped up your jacket and made you wear your shoes, not wanting to see you cry.

"Enough now get up" he said sternly, you weren't in the mood to leave. He sighed and carried you. Your arms wrapped around his neck and you sobbed quietly on his shoulder. His expression softened.

"What happened Y/N? You have to tell me only then I'll be able to help you." He said softly.

"... don't wanna go there" you mumbled.

"I'm asking for the last time, Why?" He asked. You glared at him and wiggled in his arms, a signal for him to leave you. And once he did, you yourself sat in the car in anger. Jimin sighed and hopped in the driver's seat, not understanding whatever you're trying to do.

"Drive" you huffed as he stared at you.

"Yah! Drop that attitude of yours when you're talking with me." He said strictly.

You looked down and mumbled a small 'sorry'.

In a matter of minutes Jimin had already pulled in front of your Cousin's house. Your body felt cold just by the sight of him standing near the gate and smiling at you two. You held Jimin's hand and went in with him, hoping he'd forget to leave you here.

"Jimin-ah!" Minseok chimed, "good to see you after so long." He said.

"Good to see you too" Jimin smiled and gave him a brotherly hug, "Its been busy lately, you know with the company and all.."

"Yeah I can understand, and its fine also, I mean work comes first." Minseok said smiling at Jimin.

"All right" Jimin turned to you, "Y/N stay with Minseok oppa, I'll pick you pick around 4 okay?" He said. You had no other choice than to nod in agreement.

Jimin knelt down in front of you and looked at you, "Don't be sad princess, I'll be back soon." He kissed your palm and stood up.

"Bye princess, be a good girl!"

"Bye" you said, your mind was focused on Minseok. 

Jimin left. You saw the car drive away and anxiety ran up your body making you shiver. Your eyes shut tightly when you felt Minseok's cold hand placed on your shoulder. New tears began forming, you wanted to run away. He grabbed your arm and turned your body to face him.

"How are you Y/N?" He asked, smiling. You didn't dare to speak a word. "Don't make me repeat baby girl."

"I'm fine..." You said.

"That's good" he said and pulled you to the couch, "take a seat"

You just stood there, fiddling with your hands. Your eyes were fixed down to the floor 'cause you remembered you weren't allowed to make eye contact or even look at him. Minseok brought you closer to him and sat you in his lap.

"You can watch the TV" he said and turned it on, handing you the remote. You were a little confused thinking how he changed.

In a few minutes you felt a big hand – Minseok's – moving down on your back. You moved a little to get away from his touch. He didn't stop. His other other hand was placed on your thigh, carressing you. You tried to remove his hand but it only tightened his grip on you. He squeazed your waist making you whimper.

"Come Y/N-ah, let's go play a little. You must be getting bored" he said and stood up. Your eyes widened. You shook your head and stepped back.

"N-No please... I wanna go home" you said, nearly crying.

Minseok laughed, "no baby girl, you'll stay here till your stupid ass brother comes and take you."

"He's not stupid" you said.

"Don't talk back" he said grabbing your forearm. Oh oh you got him angry. He dragged you upstairs despite of all the cries from you.

He dropped you on the floor resulting you in hitting your head. Minseok walked up to the cupboard and took out something. You gasped when you saw that big, thin stick in his hand, almost like a switch. You moved behind till your back hit the wall. He was advancing towards you with that devilish smirk you were scared of.

You cried as you felt the first smack, sending stinging sensation in the skin of your arm. He wasn't going to stop, you knew. Crying your eyes out as it hurted you, you begged him to stop. Nothing worked. It just pissed him off even more. After what felt like hours to you,of you getting hit by that switch, he left the room to...maybe get a belt? That's what you thought.

This was the moment. You needed to use it. Running away wasn't an option, so you searched for a phone which you fortunately got and dialled Jungkook's number.

—
 
The professor hadn't arrived yet, Jungkook was sitting with his friend, both emersed in their phones, which is when his phone rang. The number was unkown. Since he wasn't doing anything important, he answered.

"Hello-"

"O-Oppa help..."

"Y/N? Wha-  Where are you?" He questioned worriedly, on hearing your fragile voice from an unknown number.

"Mi-Minseo-" he heard you gasp and then heard some footsteps.

The professor had arrived now but he couldn't afford to hang up. He stood up and took his bag,

"Sir I'm really sorry but I need to leave." He said in one go and ran out of the class ignoring his name being called by the teacher.

Daniel, his friend, looked at the professor nervously and stood up.

"Sir I'm really sorry on behave of him. Its really urgent that's why... I- I will go as well." He said and ran out after his friend.

"Jungkook!"

Jungkook turned and looked at Daniel, he stopped and told him to give him his phone.

"Listen Dan, please this is very important, Y/N needs me. Do me a favour and call Jimin hyung, tell him to come at Minseok's place right now." Jungkook explained Daniel, "tell him I'm already on my way." He said and ran to parking area.

He kept the phone close to his ear listening to whatever was happening with or around you. He heard a loud noise, as though something was being hit with a lot of force with a...belt maybe? And that scared him. Then he heard you scream. He backed the car till the end of the drive and accelerated at the maximum as he turned the steering wheel. Then his eyes landed on the guard near the gate. He saw Daniel giving him a thumbs up from the rear view mirror. He nodded and drove towards the gate, the guard was opening it for him.

With each of your cries and screams, he would hit the accelerator harshly. Warm tears began filling his eyes on hearing your voice and anger crept in him every time he heard the noise of whatever the guy was using to hit you.

Cursing and swearing on people, who wouldn't drive fast, he finally made it to his cousin's place. Not wasting a single second, he rushed in. Although by the time he arrived, your voice was already barely audible. The door was locked. He kicked it open and ran upstairs, hearing your cries echoing through the walls. He found the room and opened the door.

"You fucking rascal!" Jungkook shouted and pulled Minseok away from you. He snatched the belt from his hand that he was using to hit you.

Wrapping one end of the belt in his hand, Jungkook moved it fast in the air, and hitting the floor making a snapping noise. He kicked the guy and dragged him out of the room, hitting him with the belt forcefully, making him cry in pain.

"How dare you touch my sister?!" He yelled at Minseok, while continuously hitting the belt hard on his body.

Meanwhile, you closed your eyes, relaxed by the fact that Jungkook was here. You rested back on the wall, wincing as the the cold wall touched your back. The fabric of your shirt was sticking to your back with the little amount of blood. You heard Minseok's voice begging your brother to stop. It became quiet in a while as you breathed more calmly now.

"Y/N-ah" you heard a soft voice. But you couldn't open your eyes. Weak, was how you felt.

"Y/N, baby look at me" Jungkook patted your cheek gently. "Look Kookie's here, nobody will hurt you now."

"That moron will pay" Jungkook muttered and carried you in his arms. 

"Jungkook" He turned on hearing Jimin's voice, "Y/N!" The elder brother rushed to his side looking at you, passed out.

"Wha-"

"I'll tell you everything hyung, let's get out of here first." Jungkook said. Jimin nodded and They left the place.

"Oppa..."

That was the first thing you said when you woke up. Jungkook and Jimin rushed to your side. Jimin hugged you quickly making you wince in pain. He pulled away and said sorry.

"I'm really sorry princess, I should've listened to you... I'm- I'm so sorry" Jimin said, remembering all your protests so you don't have to go to Minseok's house.

You nodded, "water..." You spoke in a hoarse voice. Jungkook nodded and gave you a glass of water, then sat next to you.

You looked at him for the first time in the last few hours, and tears formed in your eyes again.

"I thought I'd die" you said, hugging Jungkook tightly, "He wa- was so bad. He was beating me an-and said you was stupid. Then he took th-that belt and hit me... It hu-hurts Oppa" you said sobbing in his shirt. He pulled you in his lap, and hugged you back gently.

"Shh its all right now, he's not here." Jungkook said, "And you did a good job calling me, I'm proud of you." He said and kissed your forehead. He kept his hand on your back and you winced again.
Jungkook glanced at Jimin, both having same kind of expression.

"It hurts..." You said, moving yourself away so he won't accidently touch any of your bruises or cuts.

"Will you let oppa see?" Jimin asked softly. You nodded and Jungkook helped you remove your shirt carefully. Their breaths hitched as their eyes laid on your small body with fresh red bruises, some splited into cuts and marks of belt were on your back, arms and a little bit near your stomach and ribs.

They blinked away the tears, and looked away. Jungkook pulled you close to him, placing your head in his chest as he wiped his tears quietly. Jimin couldn't stop blaming himself for what his sister had to go through. Only if he had listened to her earlier.

He stood up and brought the first aid kit to treat your wounds. Jungkook sat with you on his lap for the whole or process to talk to you and divert your attention from the pain while Jimin treated you. He was afraid that, you'd cry even more if you see how bad you were hurt.

"-then Dan said he was joking." Jungkook said, completing his story. You laughed and he smiled looking at you.

"So his tummy wasn't hurting?" You asked.

"Nope" Jungkook said, "he did that so he could get away from the punishment."

"Your friends are weird" you giggled.

"I know" Jungkook said shaking his head, then glanced at Jimin with a 'are-you-done?' look. Jimin nodded and kept away the box.

"Is it okay now?" Jimin asked softly. You nodded and smiled a little.

"Not completely but its fine..." You said. "Oppa?" You called after a moment of silence.

"Yes?" Jimin asked.

"Please don't be sad, I'm not mad at you. I love you." You said and hugged him. He hugged you back, the tears dropped slowly on your bare shoulder. You pulled away and looked and pointed at it.

"Oh look your tear" you said. He chuckled and wiped it, then kissed your nose.

"I'm sorry" he said.

"Its okay" you said. You turned to Jungkook who was smiling fondly at you.

"Nobody tell Daddy okay?" You said as you suddenly remembered about your parents. You knew your father would be mad at Jimin for being careless.

"No Y/N, we have to tell him." Jimin said.

"No" you shook ypur head, "He'll be mad."

"He won't be mad baby, no one will scold you." He said.

"Not me, he will scold you..."

"Its fine. We need to tell him." Jimin said, knowing that he deserves the scolding and even a few slaps if your Dad gets very angry.

"No don't, he will take me with him and Mommy" you said, "I don't wanna go with them."

Jimin sighed and looked down. You were right, your parents had already made it very clear that if any mishapping takes place related to Y/N, they'll take her with them. You were still young to live without your parents, and they knew that.

"We'll talk about it later. You need to rest right now." He said and stood up to get a new shirt for you. He helped you wear it and laid you down on the bed. You told Jungkook to sleep with you as well. He quickly agreed and laid beside you.

—
  
"-you've been really disappointing."

"...I- I'm sorry Dad"

"Sorry doesn't fix it Jimin, me and your mom trusted you with Y/N. I was the one to convince her to let Y/N be with you and Kook. I didn't expect something like this to happen when you're there." Father said. Jimin's eyes were fixed on the floor with a tremendous amount of guilt.

"Dad its not his fault, why would he d-"

"Jungkook" Jimin interrupted him, telling him to be quiet.

"No hyung, he can't talk like that to you." Jungkook said, "wh-"

"Jungkook!" Jimin warned again, "Quiet." He said sternly. Jungkook glared at their father and looked away, finally shutting his mouth.

"Is she okay now?" Their Dad asked. Jimin nodded.

"She was hurt, but its better now." Jimin replied. The father nodded and looked at Jungkook.

"Are you okay?"

Jungkook didn't reply. Jimin inhaled deeply,

"Jungkook, Dad is asking something" he reminded.

"I'm fine" Jungkook said. Their father sighed, Jungkook has been like this ever since they started living away from them as work was more important than the little girl.

"I'll take care of things this time" The father said, "But make sure this never repeats." Jimin nodded and apologized again.

"Its not your fau-"

"Jungkook, I said quiet." Jimin glared at the boy. Jungkook gave him a 'seriously?' look and went upstairs. "I'm sorry...he's a little stressed today..." He said to their father.

"No need to lie, I'm absolutely fine!" Jungkook said from the stairs. Jimin closed his eyes in frustration.

The father sighed, "he's so stubborn" he said.

Jimin nodded, "yeah."

"Jimin, I understand things weren't really in your hand. So its technically not your fault. But you know, being the eldest son brings a lot of responsibilities. And I'm actually very proud and happy to have you. I'm sure you'll take care of your siblings and yourself too. I trust you."

"Thanks Dad" he smiled a little, "I'll be more careful."

—
  
"Kook?" Jimin called, knocking on the door.

"Yes?" He heard your voice. He opened the door and saw him sitting with you, watching Frozen.

"Jungkook can you come down for a bit?" He asked. The you get boy glanced at him for second before nodding subtly.

"I'll come quickly okay? Don't eat the whole wafers" he said to you.

"I will" you giggled. He squinted his eyes at you.

"Wait then, tickle monster will come." He said playfully.

He walked down following Jimin and noticed their father wasn't there. He probably left. Jimin sat on the couch and stared at Jungkook as he took a seat in front of him.

"What were your trying to do?" Jimin asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to tell him that it wasn't your fault." The younger replied, "and you should really stop apologizing to him so much, when its clearly him and his wife wh-"

"Do not forget they're your parents too" Jimin reminded in a authoritative tone. Jungkook looked down.

"I'm sorry, but do you really think they deserve that title. Forget about me or you, They were their with us. Think about Y/N, she was six when they left. And she's still young, and those two- who are the 'parents', they don't think its important for them to be with her?" He said annoyed.

"Jungkook its not like that, you're just seeing one side of the whole thing. They wanna be here as well, but you know work is important."

"Please hyung, I don't wanna hear about their good traits and sacrifices they did for us. Its their job, they have to do it. You're too nice hyung... I'm not. And I won't let them use you like this."

"How much can you think hmm?" Jimin said, "they're not using me, don't think like that. I'm happy to be with you and Y/N, so even if they're using me I'd never complain."

"See? You're too good for your own good." Jungkook said, "hyung promise me, you won't let them say stupid things about you. You deserve so much better. I sometimes feel like I'm just burdening yo-"

"Shut up" Jimin interrupted him, "don't ever say that, or even think like that. You can never burden me, nor can Y/N. You two are the best things ever happened to me. And to be very honest, I guess I'm able to hold everything together 'cause you're here Kook." 

Jungkook smiled softly and looked down, "I don't know all that. But I must say, I didn't like the way Dad talked with you."

"Its fine Kook, he's older than us, he's our father and also I deserved it today." Jimin said. Jungkook just looked down and said nothing.

"Koo?" Their heads turned to the stairs, you came down with the packet of wafers in your hand. "I tried hard not to eat it, but I did." You said pointing at the pack of snacks in your hand, "just a little bit." You added.

The boys chuckled, you walked near them and gave Jungkook the left wafers.

"Eat it before I do" you said.

"You can have it" Jungkook said.

"Ah really?" You asked smiling at him.

He nodded. All he ever wanted was that smile to never disappear from your face. Jimin patted Jungkook's head, smiling fondly at his two younger siblings. They really saw how strong you were, by your expression nobody could tell how bad you were hurt.

"Okay, So I'm eating it. Don't say anything to me later." You said and started stuffing the wafers in your mouth. He chuckled and nodded.

Ah this was long. It took me two days to write this one. But anyways its done.

Now an important thing, if you ever feel like something wrong us happening with you or around you. You don't have to be scared. Tell the person you trust, maybe a family member or a friend, and seek help. Its okay if you don't have anyone by your side at the moment, there are various helplines, contact them. But don't be submissive to the bad. You're not alone.
Maybe your little effort can help you or anyone in some way. And a little help is enough to spark a whole fire of confidence and that feeling of not being alone. It matters.

You matter, a lot more than you can imagine.

And if nobody told you this, then let me say it today, you are beautiful, you are important. Its okay if you don't agree with me, even I don't believe that I'm important or beautiful. But please don't look down at yourself. I love you. I mean it.

💜💜💜💜

I hope you liked the chapter. (Oneshot)
