Updateeeee

"Wha--" Jimin was left speechless.
"Come with me." Jungkook held his hand and guided him to the rooftop. Jimin's heart began racing as Jungkook looked at him.

"I--I don't know what to say." Jimin whispered to him once they sat. Jungkook quickly wiped his tears off and smiled at him.
"So you're adopted?" Jimin asked, his own eyes filling with tears.
"Yeah. I was raised by my hyungs." Jungkook said softly as they looked out at the starry sky. It was getting pretty late now.

"I was a few days old when my parents dropped me off at the orphanage. It was pretty small back then. Yugyeom came in a few months later and then Mingyu. Rose was found on the streets and Lisa was just left alone outside the building when she was about 2. Namjoon hyung and Yoongi hyung were the eldest here. They had to take care of us even though they were even as old. " Jungkook teared up.

"Yoongi hyung was 9, I was 5. He'd give me his share of food since we had limited stuff. He would wake up early to get us all ready for school and then get ready himself. He was the most cheerful hyung ever. He always taught us how to read and write beyond kids our age could. We studied from donated books, especially Namjoon hyung. He loved studying. " Jungkook smiled.

" Lisa and Rose got adopted when they were 6. Yugyeom got adopted a few months later with Mingyu. We were fortunate all of them lived in Korea after their adoption. We'd meet and cry everytime we were separated. But that's how life worked. "

" Namjoon hyung would teach me Math and stuff while Yoongi hyung was more towards art. He loved music. " Jungkook said as a tear fell off of his eye and Jimin cried silently. Jungkook sighed before he began talking.
" We didn't know if we'd get adopted. But it didn't matter, I had my hyungs. But then.. " Jungkook gulped and closed his eyes.

"Basically, Yoongi hyung got adopted by a family when he was about 12. He was so happy.. We so happy for him but they just... I don't know." Jungkook closed his eyes.
"They didn't really want him later on. They'd hit him and burn him with cigarettes till he ran away at the age of 16. He started working shifts and he'd hide and visit us. I remember Namjoon hyung hugging him and crying everyday seeing his scars." Jungkook explained.

" I was young but I wasn't that young. I could see the pain and it kind of gave me this fear of being adopted but I did want a family. " he said timidly.
" When Yoongi hyung turned 18, he took Namjoon hyung and me with him. He wanted to help others too but.... We always stuck around for each other. " Jungkook said looking down.

"Yoongi hyung was 19, Namjoon hyung was 18 and I was about 14. We lived a tiny apartment with barely any money. But it was for the best now that I look back. My hyungs worked everyday. All day. Just so that I'd have a normal life and they also managed college. " Jungkook told him.

"Everything started falling in place. Namjoon hyung met Jin hyung whose family had died in a car crash. He was living with his uncle who didn't really want him there so... He just came over one night and I didn't want him to leave. He brought a stability in our lives. Then came Hoseok hyung... " Jungkook sighed.

" He was.... An exotic dancer. He lived his boyfriend who'd hit him everyday. Yoongi hyung... Um... Met him at the club and saw his scars. They became more like friends but then Hobi hyung didn't meet him for days. Since hyung knew where he lived, and knew something was wrong, all of us went to his house where we found him laying in a pool of blood with bruises all over. His boyfriend had almost killed him. " Jungkook closed his eyes again and Jimin held his hand.

" Yoongi hyung almost killed the guy but I stopped him. The cops came and Hobi hyung didn't really have a place to go. His family had disowned him years ago and then he joined us too, we opened a cafe a few years later. And that's how I got my complete family." Jungkook looked at Jimin and smiled.

" They all had a lot to teach me. So I grew up to be a manifestation of all of them. The people you saw at my birthday were either people who adopted my brothers and sisters or people from the old age home next to our orphanage. That's why you didn't see our parents. " Jungkook gave Jimin a sad smile.

Jimin was a sobbing mess. His tears just fell constantly. How could someone who had been through so much pain still have that zest in him?

" I've never told this to anyone but you. Because I can see how lost you are. And I know it seems difficult right now but things get better. Everything turns out to fall in place eventually. Look at me... An orphan who had no one is now someone with the biggest family. My hyungs and I didn't even know if we'd make it but we did. We all overcame our dark pasts. You will too. I promise." Jungkook wiped Jimin's tear off with his thumb.
