The BTS members were excited to have just finished recording a brand new  pop song, however they still hadn't   agreed on a title but weren't too focused on that quite yet. Before releasing the new song, their main goal was to come up with a new dance for the track. They were always given the greatest choreographers who would come in and teach them dances to their music, and they were all very grateful to be able to work with some of the best around the world. Sometimes they would have the same choreographer for multiple dances, and sometimes they would take in new ones. For this new track, they would be introduced to a new one.

Bang PD told the guys that their new choreographer had helped create dances to some of the top artists greatest videos, and they were all very impressed. They were told his name was Ian, and they looked up some of his work and were absolutely amazed by some of the choreo he had developed. This had them even more excited.

Today would be their first practice with Ian.

The members were gathered in the dance studio practicing to older songs when Ian came in, he introduced himself and they all bowed and introduced themselves one by one. Hobi introduced himself as the teams official dance leader, so let the choreographer know they would be working closely with eachother. Ian seemed like a super nice guy...at first.

He listened to the track and began teaching them some steps he developed, however he saw the members progress as less than satisfactory.

"Taehyung no, that's NOT how you do it."

"Jin what are you even trying to attempt?"

"Namjoon are you dancing or having a seizure?"

His insults wouldn't let up, until finally Hobi decided to speak on their behalf, " Alright, I don't mean any disrespect but please take it a little easy on them. This is all brand new, they won't be perfect the first time learning it." He told their choreographer, and honestly Hobi thought his members were actually doing a fantastic job. Every time Ian spat out an insult to someone, he had no idea what the man was even talking about.

They continued to learn the moves but it became increasingly harder as not only the dance became harder, but hearing insults thrown their way had everyone in a bad mood, nobody even wanted to try anymore.

"Hobi hyung can we please take a break?" Jimin pouted.

" Of course," the dance leader insisted. He knew his members needed a break to get some water and rest for a moment. He wasn't unaware of how gloomy and depressed they all looked.

"Excuse me, but I don't think a break is necessary. You boys have a lot of improving to do, we can't waste time," Ian told them. Everyone had already stopped to drink some water anyways.

"But we're tired. We've been practicing nonstop for hours. Plus, it's only the first day. We have months to practice. We never learn dances this quickly," Taehyung told Ian. The members agreed that the choreographer was moving a little too quickly with teaching them. He seemed to be trying to teach them an ENTIRE dance routine in one day when most choreographers broke it down into 30 second increments over the course of weeks. Ian glared at Hobi.

"Jung Hoseok," Ian started.

"What?" Hobi stared at him while sucking down half his water bottle.

"You need to control your team. I said no breaks."

"We need water breaks or we'll pass out." Hobi told the man.

"Well then, it will build character. Break is over. Everyone back into position," Ian demanded. Everyone groaned as they made their way back into their starting spots. Yoongi honestly didn't care what the choreographer wanted, he was planning to give minimal effort for the rest of practice, he was tired. They all were. Once again, Ian was not satisfied with the members performance. He stopped the music mid routine and started scolding the whole group.

"You call this a dance team?! What the hell! None of you can get the moves right! Why are you all lacking so much?!"

Yoongi had enough of their choreographer, and being the bravest one of the group, didn't hesitate to speak on the members behalf, " Because we're fuckin tired Ian! We've been practicing for six damn hours straight! Give us a break already!" Jin immediately shot Yoongi a warning glare to remind him he shouldn't be disrespectful to his elders. Yoongi ignored it.

"You know what? You're right. You've been working for six hours straight. ...and you still suck! So now I will make it eight hours!"

Everyone groaned in annoyance and also gave Yoongi dirty looks.

"Gahh thanks a lot hyung!" Jungkook whined as he let himself drop to the floor. He just needed to rest a minute, however Ian yelled at him to get back on his feet and being the obedient maknae that he is he pulled himself back up.

"Jung Hoseok, or Hobi, whatever the hell you go by. Why does your dance team suck so badly? Aren't you their dance leader? Haven't you been their dance leader for years? What's going on? Are they always this bad? As a leader you need to do better. Whip them into shape. You could use some practice yourself, if I'm being honest."

That stung Hobi right in the heart. He didn't think his members were sucking at all, were they? Was he also really being that bad at dancing today? Suddenly all his confidence drained right out of his body. In that moment he didn't want to be the dance leader anymore, or dance ever again.

"Don't be mean to my hobi hyung," Taehyung blurted out to Ian. Jimin covered his mouth to try and hide his smile, as he thought Taehyung's defiance was a little bit amusing. Jungkook shot them both a scared look, as if to tell them to just shut up already before they all got in more trouble, especially considering they were the three youngest. Watching them, Yoongi also smiled. He didn't think Taehyung was being defiant at all, he actually completely agreed with Taehyung, don't be mean to our Hobi.

"You two," Ian pointed to Jimin and Taehyung. The two looked at eachother as both their faces turned red, anticipating to be scolded together. However that wasn't the case, Ian told them he had another dance move that he wanted them to do together. Hobi was already feeling nervous as it was, it didn't help that now two of his maknae's were being singled out about a dance move, something didn't sit right with him.

" Jimin, you're going to lift Taehyung into the air, and then Taehyung, you're going to handstand on his shoulders and then backflip off of them," Ian told them.

Jin and Namjoon both let out a laugh, yeah right!

Everyone else nervously glanced at eachother. There is no way either Taehyung or Jimin can possibly do that.

"Uh...... I don't think we can..um.....yeah...no.. I can't do that," Taehyung told the choreographer. "Yeah, me either.." Jimin added. They both looked at Hobi, as if waiting for him to say something. Ian didn't listen, he pulled out his phone to show them a video example of the move and told them they were doing it.

"Seriously, those two can't do that move. I don't want them even ATTEMPTING that," Hobi spoke up. He knew there was no way on this green earth either of them could pull that off. That wasn't dancing, that was acrobatics.

"I don't care if they can do it or not, they will learn it," Ian demanded.

Jimin and Taehyung were too nervous to defend themselves, and Jungkook just continued to stare at his hyungs with scared eyes. Hyungies can't pull that one off.

Yoongi could tell Hobi needed some backup, "Ian, they really can't do that move. Taehyung will break his neck if he tries doing that."

"Well then they can start practicing right now," Ian said. Everyone looked at eachother, not sure what else to say or do.

"Jimin, start by putting your hands on Taehyungs waist," Ian instructed. Jimin did as told, and he looked around at everyone, begging with his eyes for someone to save them. He didn't want to end up hurting Taehyung, and he knew this move would cause some kind of injury. He could feel Taehyung's body tense up as he held him. They were both extremely nervous.

"Now lift him up," Ian continued.

Jimin hesitated, " I dont..."

" I said lift him up!"

Jimin still hesitated, he just couldn't bring himself to put Taehyung in danger, and Hobi had enough. "Stop!" he pointed at the two maknae's, " You two are NOT doing the move. And practice is over."

"That's not up to you. I'm the choreographer and I will decide who does what, and when they finish." Ian insisted.

"I'm their dance leader, and these are MY members. So actually, I will be the one to decide who does what, and I'm letting you know dance practice is finished , I'm not asking." The members didn't hesitate to run and grab their stuff and leave. They were more than ready to book it out of that dance studio. Yoongi and Hobi were still behind gathering their things when Ian yelled for Hobi to come over to him. Hobi gave Yoongi a nervous glance but made his way to the choreographer. Ian pointed his finger in Hobi's face, "You do NOT overstep me," Ian scolded.

" I'm not overstepping you. I'm really not. I am making sure the members are safe, unlike you." Hobi stared at Ian's finger before taking his hand and pushing it out of his face. Ian pushed Hobi hard in the chest, causing him to tumble backwards onto the floor and lose his breath. Yoongi immediately ran over, "What the fuck are you doing?" He yelled at Ian while making sure Hobi was okay and helping him stand up. Yoongi stood protectively in front of Hobi and started yelling at Ian, " Seriously dude, get a fuckin grip. You've done nothing but shit on us all day and you expect any of us to respect you? Don't you EVER put your hands on him again, or any of us for that matter." Hobi hid behind Yoongi and tried holding back his tears. He felt so defeated, but was glad he had his hyung there for him.

Ian took a step forward and Yoongi protectively pushed Hobi behind him more.

"Tell HIM, " Ian pointed to Hobi, " To get his damn team straight or there will BE no new dance number. If you really want to make something of yourselves, then fuckin act like it. You're all whimps. Two of your members really can't do a simple damn dance move? Unbelievable. Literally the worst group of dancers I have ever seen, but I guess we can owe that all to your wonderful dance leader over here." With that Ian stormed out of the dance studio. Yoongi turned around to face Hobi, who was staring at the floor with silent tears running down his cheeks. Yoongi pulled him into a tight hug, "Are you alright?" he asked.

" I..I don't know."

"Well, don't listen to him. You're a fantastic dance leader, and he's just an asshole, let's go home now." Yoongi gripped Hobi's arm and gently guided him to the door. Hobi just trudged along behind him, not really sure how to feel or what to think at the moment.

Things were quiet back at their house, everyone was in an extremely bad mood. Taehyung and Jimin felt like garbage for not being able to perform the dance move, Jin and Namjoon kept thinking to themselves how much they must suck at dancing, Hobi was depressed, Yoongi was depressed seeing Hobi depressed, and Jungkook felt the weight of everyone's mood and it was crushing him. There was nothing worse for him in the entire world than seeing his hyungs hurt or upset. And now with all six of them hurting in some way, he felt like his heart was broken into six different pieces. Jin had made dinner for everyone , and the usual loud table was quiet that night. Nobody felt like talking much, and Hobi excused himself to go be alone in his room, he wasn't that hungry anyways.

Yoongi hated the mood at the table, " I'm telling you all, Ian is an ass. You all know nothing he said was true right?"

Everyone just painfully groaned in response. They were all too busy beating themselves up in their own heads.

In his room, Hobi decided to practice the dance more in front of their mirror. He redid the steps a million times and couldn't figure out what he was doing so badly. He knew he was doing the moves exactly how Ian wanted, so what the hell was the problem? He eventually exhausted himself and dropped to the floor, laying there breathing deeply. He heard his bedroom door open to see Yoongi come in. The two shared the bedroom.

"Just wanted to come check on you. Why are you laying on the floor? " Yoongi asked as he walked over and sat down on the floor next to Hobi.

"Do you think we're really doing that badly?" Hobi asked his hyung.

"No. From what I saw, the members were doing a great job learning so much in such a short time. That includes you. I don't know what Ian was seeing but clearly that ass was hallucinating."

"What do I do about the move he wants Jimin and Taehyung to do? You agree they shouldn't perform that right? I'm not overreacting? It's too dangerous for them."

"You're not overreacting at all. Taehyung will kill himself trying to do that move. And Jimin is so scared of hurting Taehyung that he won't do it well either. Ian can't force them to do anything, so we will figure out another move for them if we have to." Yoongi took Hobi's hand in his and held it. He could see Hobi fighting back tears.

"Seriously buddy, don't beat yourself up okay? We will figure something out. And I swear to God if he puts his hands on you like that ever again he'll regret it." Yoongi was still fuming on the inside over seeing Ian push his precious Hobi to the floor. He caressed the youngers cheek and then gently pinched it, " Come on, where is that sunshine smile?"

"It's just a little cloudy right now."

Yoongi frowned. Seeing the physical embodiment of happiness itself, be sad, was breaking his heart. He saw Hobi as literal sunshine, how could someone be so mean to him? He was the purest and kindest soul on earth.

"You look exhausted, you need to rest." Yoongi stood up and gestured for Hobi to take his hand as he helped him up, guiding him to lay down on his bed. Yoongi decided to cuddle up next to him for the night, he knew Hobi loved cuddles when he was upset. He rubbed the youngers back until they both passed out from exhaustion. The rest of the members called it a night too and passed out early.

Unfortunately the next days dance practice came earlier than anybody wanted it to. Everyone dragged their feet into the studio, letting out depressed sighs when seeing Ian already in there. To make it worse, everyone was now fully feeling the muscle pain from the intense practice from yesterday. How were they suppose to reach 'perfection' when they could now barely even move?

"Ahh gentlemen! Ready for day two?! Hoseok I trust you whipped them into shape?"

Everyone looked at Hobi, not understanding what Ian meant.

"Sure," Hobi sighed. Whip them into shape how? They're already in shape. There's nothing for me to do.

"Perfect now everyone in position," Ian demanded. Everyone took their spots and the music started. Ian stopped it not even five seconds in.

"What the fuck Jungkook?" Ian yelled. All the members looked at Jungkook, who had a scared puppy dog look on his face.

"W...what?" the maknae asked innocently. He honestly had no idea what he could have possibly done wrong.

"You did the opening completely wrong!!! It's this!" Ian demonstrated and the members were all confused because they knew Jungkook had done the exact same dance move. He hadn't done anything wrong. Jungkook didn't know what to do, he had turned into a shy and scared maknae ever since the first time Ian started scolding them yesterday. He looked to his hyungs, hoping one of them would defend him instead. And Taehyung did. " So what exactly is the difference? I was watching Jungkookie and he literally did the exact same move, maybe you're just blind or something?"

Hobi and Yoongi both tensed up. After what Ian had done to Hobi yesterday, they hoped to God Ian didn't put his hands on Taehyung too after that comment. Jin nudged Taehyung and whispered to him, " Taehyung sshh." Ian walked over to Taehyung and Yoongi watched him closely. Silently making his way closer to them in case he had to go into protective mode again.

"Would you like to repeat that to me?" Ian scolded Taehyung while standing awkwardly close to his face. The younger one stared at the floor while instantly regretting his comment, "No. I'm sorry." Instead of saying anything more to Taehyung, Ian immediately walked over to Hobi and got in his face instead. Yoongi quickly made his way over to those two now.

" I thought you told me you whipped them into shape? Yet, your youngest still can't do the dance moves right, and now your second youngest is disrespecting me?" Hobi gulped while trying to think of what to say. He stared at Ian in the eyes. He looked so scary in that moment. He could feel his heart beating out of his chest as he got clammy.

As the oldest of the group, Jin had something to say as well. " Well, Ian, you haven't exactly been the most respectful to any of us either. Can you really blame anyone for being disrespectful? In all honesty, you deserve it." Without moving from Hobi, Ian balled his hand into a fist. Yoongi watched him closely. If he punches our sunshine he's fuckin dead.

However instead of punching anyone, Ian had a sudden request. " Alright, everyone out for a moment. I need to speak with your dance leader." Everyone hesitated.

" I said out!" Ian screamed. Hobi thought he was going to throw up or pass out, or both. The members all scurried out of the studio, considering they were unaware of what Ian did to Hobi yesterday, they didn't think he was in any kind of danger. However, Yoongi stayed behind.

"That means you too Yoongi," Ian demanded.

"Mmmmm nope think I'll stay."

Hobi stared at Yoongi, his eyes desperately pleading for his hyung to please not leave.

"Jesus Christ you people are seriously out of control aren't you? Why doesn't a single member of this team fuckin listen?!" Ian yelled. Yoongi was now standing right next to Hobi, " Whatever you have to tell him you can tell me too. I'm not leaving him alone with you, you're a fuckin psycho."

"Hyung please don't," Hobi pleaded. He really didn't need any more issues right now.

"Oh so now you want to try and teach your little members a lesson?" Ian scoffed at Hobi. "Which one of you is the older one?" Ian asked.

"Why does that even matter?" asked Yoongi.

"Answer my question."

"Hyung is older," Hobi replied while pointing to Yoongi. He was getting more scared by the moment and didn't want Ian to be more mad, so he unintentionally answered the question in a panic.

"Well then as a hyung, give him an example of what it means to teach someone a goddamn lesson." Ian demanded. Hobi felt his body tense up, yet go numb at the same time.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Yoongi asked with a sour face as he once again protectively moved himself in front of his younger member. Ian furrowed his brow and rubbed his forehead in annoyance, " I guess I'll just have to do it myself. Move." Hobi started backing away.

" I will not move," Yoongi stated. Ian immediately pushed Yoongi causing him to fall to the floor face first and then began running at Hobi. Hobi tried running away but Ian grabbed his shirt and pulled back on it, choking the dancer with the collar. Before Yoongi had time to get to him, Ian suddenly punched Hobi in the face, and the ring Ian was wearing produced a bleeding cut right under Hobi's eye. Hobi let out a cry of pain and fell to the floor, clutching his now bleeding face in his hands.

"Get the fuck away from him!" Yoongi screamed, running towards the two. While Yoongi was headed their way, Ian took the belt off he was wearing and whipped Yoongi in the chest with it causing him to stumble.

"No! Hyung!" Hobi cried.

"Apparently I have to teach you both a lesson!" Ian whipped Yoongi across the face with the belt, which also produced a bleeding cut across his cheek, with an also very noticeable purple bruise forming around it. "Stop hurting him! Please! " Hobi cried. Ian took the belt and started whipping Hobi with it across his chest and stomach. Hobi let out painful sobs as he laid on the floor begging for Ian to stop. He wasn't good at physically defending himself. Yoongi tried his hardest to ignore his own pain to protect his little brother. He jumped up and tackled Ian to the floor, " I said get away from him!" Yoongi overpowered Ian and was able to get the belt from him. He whipped Ian across the face with it," How do YOU like it you piece of shit?!" Yoongi dropped the belt and immediately picked Hobi up into his arms and ran out of the dance studio with him, Ian didn't bother to follow.  None of the members were in the hallway, the two figured the rest went for a meal break downstairs. Yoongi ran into the bathroom with Hobi and locked the door behind them, placing him gently on the ground. Hobi was a hyperventilating mess, he was so terrified.

Yoongi clutched his cheeks, " Hey you're okay. You're okay. It's alright, okay? You'll be okay. Please just try to breath for me, yeah? Just breath for me," Yoongi pulled Hobi back into his arms and held him for a long time, rocking him back and forth as the young dancer cried and bled onto his shirt. Yoongi got up and wetted some paper towels, and held them to the cut on Hobi's face. Yoongi's own cut had stopped bleeding on it's own, but the one Hobi had was deeper and still bleeding. Hobi was still speechless as he cried. Yoongi pulled him back into a hug and started laying kisses on his forehead, " I'm so sorry."

"N..not your-r fault," Hobi cried into his hyungs shirt. Yoongi felt like it was his fault. He was literally standing right next to Hobi in there, yet he still ended up getting hurt.

Yoongi kept giving Hobi small kisses on the top of his head to comfort him. He could feel him shaking in his arms. He hated how scared Hobi was. "He's done, you hear me? He's done here. We can choreograph a dance ourselves if we need to, but he's done. For good."

"But I deserved it," Hobi stated. Yoongi was completely taken back by the statement. "Deserved it?! No no never! Don't you ever think you deserve to get hurt! Ever! You understand me?! You did NOT deserve that, in any way shape or form. He's a psychopath. And you're our sunshine. Never ever think anyone has the right to harm you. Do you understand me?" Hobi nodded. He looked up at Yoongi and gently ran his finger over the cut on his hyungs cheek, " Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Yoongi pulled his phone out of his pocket and called Bang PD. He told him what had just happened and Bang was absolutely furious. He immediately called to have the entire HYBE building put into lockdown while he waited for police to arrive to take Ian. The rest of the members were in fact downstairs eating when the building was called into lockdown, and they all panicked not knowing what was going on. They also panicked because they didn't know where Hobi and Yoongi were. Bang PD found the members eating and told them what had happened, and they all immediately ran to the bathroom Yoongi said they were in. Yoongi let them in and everyone was absolutely devastated to see the two hurt. Jungkook dropped to the floor in tears and gripped onto both of them, " My hungies!!" he cried. Everyone huddled around and embraced the two in a hug while crying. Bang PD looked at both the members and requested a nurse to come meet them to help take care of the injuries. It turned out both Hobi and Yoongi also had cuts across their chests from the belt, and Hobi also had some across his stomach. 

Jin held them closely, " My poor little babies!!!" he cried. He felt beyond guilty as the oldest. Everyone felt guilty. The police had Ian in custody within fifteen minutes, and the members were asked some questions. After that they were allowed to go home and were told they could have the next two weeks off to recuperate.

At home, everyone smothered both Yoongi and Hobi with food and hugs and kisses (Yoongi tried to act like he hated it, but he didn't). It broke everyone every time they saw the cuts and bruises. Thankfully though, those faded after a few days. The members moods slowly started to lift as they were finally free from Ian, and Hobi was starting to smile and laugh again. If the members wanted anything in life, it was to hear Hobi's sunshine laugh again. One afternoon Hobi was resting in his bed when Yoongi came in and cuddled up right next to him.

"Hyung. I feel like I owe you my life. Thank you for protecting me," Hobi told him.

"Ah it was nothing. Of course I'll protect you. I'd protect any of you. It's instinct at this point. Nobody hurts my babies, or my hyung. Ever ever ever." Yoongi pulled him in closer to him and kissed his forehead. Hobi couldn't resist revealing a huge smile. Yoongi's heart exploded.

"THERE'S THE SUNSHINE!!" Yoongi yelled as he started tickling Hobi, making him smile and laugh even more. The members overheard Hobi's laughter and ran in. They all ran over and started tickling Hobi as well, before pig piling onto the bed together.

" I love you guys. I know the best people, and the best dancers ever," Hobi told his group. Everyone blushed. Getting a praise from Hobi about their dancing was always the greatest compliment.

Everyone was so happy to have their sunshine back. Their days became brighter.
