Jimin spent the night at the medical center. The next morning, he was up and ready for the day. No one at home had bothered to check up on him or ask about his whereabouts except for Nanny Jihye. As usual, he was used to it.

The boy had woken up when he went to check up on him. He was a pretty good looking child which curly brown locks and shiny eyes. The only downside was he was too thin. The boy looked dumbfounded as his eyes searched everywhere around him.

"What am I doing here? Who are you?" He looked very confused and Jimin could understand.

Jimin smiled. "Calm down little one. I'm just here to help. I found you yesterday when you were beaten up by those kids. You're safe here now"

The boy bit his lip as he lowered his eyes. "Thank you but I really have to go now"

He started struggling out of bed but Jimin pushed him back.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. You suffered a little internal bleeding so you have to be on bed rest for at least one week"

The boy sighed in defeat. "But I don't have any money to pay you" he murmured.

Jimin stared at him worriedly. "Really? What about your parents?"

There was silence for a while before the boy responded.

"I don't have parents. I escaped from the orphanage"

Jimin's breath hitched. "You're an orphan? I'm very sorry"

The boy frowned turning red immediately "I don't need your pity"

Jimin smiled awkwardly. "I understand. I'm not pitying you. I just think your situation is quite unfortunate"

He stopped talking for a while and watched as the boy fidgeted with his fingers before he continued. "Why did you leave the orphanage anyway?"

The frown on the boy's face depeened and Jimin laughed nervously.

"It's fine if you don't want to tell me" he sighed. "Besides, you don't have to worry about paying the bill. It's free"

At that, the boy's eyes widened with relief. Jimin stood up and stretched feeling a bit sore in his body. "You must be hungry. I'm hungry as well. Why don't we eat together okay?"

The boy barely nodded. Jimin smiled calmly. "By the way, you didn't tell me your name?"

The boy blinked, his face reddening the more as time passed. "Yeontan!" He whispered.

"Yeontan" Jimin said almost to himself before smiling. He started leaving the room when he stopped short immediately as someone else darted inside holding a bag in their hand. Jimin gulped when he discovered who it was. It was Kim Taehyung and he was beaming from ear to ear. Immediately, memories from last night filled his head and he trembled slightly as his eyes darted from left to right like a caged animal looking for somewhere to escape.

"Hello... Saint Jimin!" He said in a sing song voice.

Jimin stared at him. "What are you doing here?"

Taehyung arched his brows. "Weren't you expecting me?" He said. Taehyung simply walked past him and neared the boy.

"Hey kiddo, how are you doing?"

The boy didn't answer and simply peered closely at him as if to examine him.

"Ahjussi, who are you?"

Taehyung smiled warmly. "I'm a friend. I also found and rescued you along with this doctor here"

Yeontan nodded his head smiling shyly. "Thank you" he whispered.

Jimin scoffed, feeling slightly envious that Yeontan thanked Taehyung first.

"What's your name kid?"

"Yeontan"

Taehyung nodded. "Now listen very carefully Yeontan, you need to be very watchful around here. The world is a dangerous place. Even little children here have black hearts so you need to be alert"

"I will sir"

Jimin watched the scene carefully and noticed that Taehyung seemed to have this domineering air around him that make people respect and trust him. It could make strangers like Yeontan take to him immediately. It was not like he was been overly cheerful and friendly. Rather, he was quite blunt but it was just really hard to explain. He somehow felt... safe to people he met.

Taehyung took out the packs of food he brought with him. There was a plate of fried chicken among them. Yeontan's eyes widened when he saw the feast in front of him. Seeing his reaction, it was obvious he hadn't eaten this kind of food in a long time if not ever. He quickly dug in consuming the food at a rapid pace. When he was done eating, he thanked them and fell asleep soon afterwards. The adults left him alone to talk to each other.

"He's an orphan Taehyung. He escaped the orphanage but he won't tell me why" Jimin started.

Taehyung sighed. "I can understand the reason. He must have had a difficult life. I won't be surprised he was treated badly at the orphanage and decided to escape. It happens a lot"

"So what can we do to help him? We can't leave him like that. He's very fragile. We can't let him go back to the streets"

Taehyung looked thoughtful. He stroke his chin for a while.

"I'll take him in!"

"What?" Jimin was speechless.

"Yes...but it will only be for a short while. When my brother returns from his trip, I can give Yeontan to him. He helps out children like him"

"Brother? You have a brother"

Taehyung nodded, his head bent. "Yes but he's not my biological brother. I was adopted"

Jimin was quiet. He had no idea. Taehyung had a painful look on his face.

"His father took me in after my parents were killed by greedy and wicked politicians" His voice was laden with hatred.

Jimin's heart beat frantically in his chest at Taehyung's words. Taehyung took deep breaths before he finally calmed down. Jimin was visibly shaken. It was a while before he was able to open his mouth.

"Is that why you're close to V?"

Taehyung seemed to freeze after hearing that but his face broke into a soft grin soon after.

"Yes... that's why"

Jimin shook his head sadly. He didn't know the reason but he felt he had to comfort the other. Slowly, he placed his hand on his shoulder and tapped it lightly

"I'm sorry..." He muttered.

Taehyung stared at him with raised eyebrows "Why would you be sorry?" He asked.

"I just feel that way"

Taehyung pushed his hand away. "Thanks though" He murmured. It seemed that talking about politicians put Taehyung in a foul mood.

"I'll be leaving now... I'll come back later" he said and walked away.

After a few days, Yeontan got better and Taehyung decided to take him to his place. Jimin was worried about his health so he told him his address and invited him to come over anytime. When Taehyung brought Yeontan home for the first time, they met Jungkook there. As soon as the other's eyes landed on the thin looking boy, his face crumpled in disgust.

"Who is this little thing?"

"He's a boy I found and rescued from the strets. Please be nice to him"

Jungkook frowned and held up his nose. "He stinks a bit...has he had a bathe?"

Taehyung scoffed. "Don't talk like that Kookie. He's just a child. Besides, he smells just fine"

Jungkook eyed him. "Really? Maybe I have sensitive nose"

He glanced at Yeontan up and down. "He could be useful as a servant!"

"No! He's not my servant. He's too thin to do any stressful chores. I'm just going to keep him around me until my brother returns from his trip"

Jungkook raised his chin high "Only until your brother returns... because I don't get along with kids... you should know that though"

Taehyung sighed tiredly, somewhat upset with Jungkook's behavior "Don't be like that Kookie"

Jungkook ignored him and entered one of the rooms. Yeontan looked at Taehyung. "I thought you were dating Doctor Angel"

Taehyung laughed. "Me and Jimin? No way..."

He pointed to the direction Jungkook had gone. "That's my boyfriend and very soon, I'll propose to him"

Yeontan didn't know what to say. Obviously, he didn't like Jungkook after their first meeting but he couldn't tell Taehyung that so he just kept his thoughts to himself.

Yeontan met Hoseok that day. After a while living with Taehyung he wondered why Hoseok was so loyal to his new master but he figured it was because they were very good friends and Taehyung seemed to be the lazy type. He also discovered that Taehyung was a very secretive person. He was away on most nights and always kept his office locked. No one could enter not even Jungkook

As for Jungkook, he was quite mean and a bit overbearing but he never acted out of place whenever Taehyung was around. Yeontan noticed that Jungkook was always at Taehyung's home. He wondered if he worked at all. He was content lazying around the house while Hoseok did all the house work and cooked the meals.

****
It was a bright and sunny day when Jimin decided he had enough free time in his hands to check up on Yeontan so he retrieved Taehyung's address and headed to his house. He soon arrived at the bungalow and knocked on the door but there was no reply. He knocked again and again. Nothing.

Thinking that no one was home, he dialled Taehyung's number but it was switched off. Soon, he began to regret coming here unplanned so he started to leave when he was caught unwares by strange sounds coming from the back of the bungalow.

Jimin was suspicious. He could make out soft giggles, kissing sounds and moaning. It wasn't his business what two people were doing at the back of the house but curiosity got the better of him and he found himself walking slowly to where the sound was coming from.

He stopped short when he saw the back of a familiar figure straddled on top of another man obviously in an intense lip lock session. Hands that looked like Taehyung's were all over the person's back and Jimin felt completely embarrassed for walking into such scene.

He intended to leave those two behind to continue with their business without any interruptions but unfortunately, he bumped into a stray beer can and the sound definitely alerted those two.

They separated hastily and Jimin heard Taehyung's voice call out his name from behind him.

"Jimin?"

He turned to look at him but immediately came face to face with Jungkook. It was one of the biggest shock he had experienced in a long time. His head banged with a terrible force as soon as their eyes connected. The latter looked completely shocked.

"Jungkook?" He whispered in disbelief.

"Jimin?" Jungkook said staring back at him with big eyes.

Taehyung was confused as he looked from one person to the other.
