Surviving Number 8. Part 12.

Ky left the bathroom, stating he was heading home since the hospital had already released him after his initial trauma exam. Yoongi curled up into a ball on the bathroom floor, flooding it with his tears. Terror reigned through his body as he was curled up and crying into his hands. He realized if Ky was angry enough about going to his room to get the key, he couldn't imagine how angry he was going to be once he saw how trashed it actually was. Jimin was right at his side rubbing his back. He ignored his own tears that he hadn't even realized were falling.

"Hyung...it's okay. You'll be okay. He won't...he won't hurt you. We will make sure he doesn't hurt you, okay? I promise. You have all of us here to protect you." Jimin's heart hurt at his own words. They'd all had each other this whole time and everything still kept going to shit, so Jimin wondered how honest he was really even being.

Jimin's words went unheard as the rapper continued to cry loudly. His throat was throbbing and burning from being choked. His head was exploding from the inside out from lack of oxygen. He couldn't get a breath in as he cried and Jimin could hear his hyung start wheezing. Jimin grabbed Yoongi and pulled him up tightly against himself. He buried his face into his hyungs hair. "Hyung. You'll be safe. Listen to me. We will keep you safe."

Honestly, he was absolutely terrified for his hyung. He didn't want to see yet another brother get hurt by Ky. It was absolutely devastating and he didn't know how much more he could take.

"Yoongi...shh..." Jimin kept hugging him and rubbing his back. He didn't know what else to say. He knew he could say all the comforting words in the world and that would never be enough.

He silently held his hyung against him. "I love you, Yoongi-ah. It will be okay."

The only response he was getting from his hyung was the sound of his sniffles and loud whimpering. Jimin didn't know how broken a heart could get before dying, but he felt very close to that point.

"H-he's going to k-kill me...just because I-I went in his room?" Yoongi finally choked out.

"No, no no no. He's not going to kill you!" Jimin shot back.

"He'll kill me, J-jimin. He-he's going to kill me."

Jimin's tears streamed faster. "No..." his voice cracked as he felt a much deeper fear at knowing Ky was planning to hurt Yoongi somehow. "I'm here, okay? I'm right here. We all are."

Hobi had strolled in when he got worried that it was taking them a while in the bathroom. He saw the two crying on the floor and immediately dropped down. "Oh no. Oh no what happened? Yoongi? Yoongi what happened?" He gently grabbed his hyungs arm. "Are you okay?"

Jimin explained their encounter with Ky and Hobi felt the terror in his own body. He wanted to be reassuring to Yoongi that he'd be okay but he really didn't know how or what to say. Offering reassurances hadn't helped any one of them at this point.

Hobi joined the hug and let Jimin continue to do the talking. Once Yoongi pulled himself together a bit he said he wanted to get out of the bathroom. "It's suffocating in here," he sniffled.

They decided to make their way back into the waiting room with the others. Everyone immediately noticed the extreme look of dread on their faces. Yoongi's eyes were bloodshot and swollen, along with having swollen cheeks. They knew that only happened to him when he was crying from a deep, deep sense of sorrow.

"Oh no..." Taehyung frowned. "Hyung..." Taehyung ran to him and grabbed his arm. "What's wrong? What happened?"

Yoongi didn't say a word, he just leaned forward and buried his face into Taehyung's shoulder, letting himself cry. Jimin and Hobi started explaining the problem while the others came over and hugged the rapper. Honestly nobody else knew what to say either. They hugged silently for a while, with Namjoon stating that they'd figure out how to get past all of this.

"I want J-jin hyung," Yoongi cried. His only big brother. As protective as everyone was, Yoongi always felt that little extra sense of protection around Jin and right now he didn't have that. It was making his fear much worse. He also wanted Jungkook. He wanted all of them to be together as seven and surrounding each other just like the good times, but those were long gone.

In the midst of their sorrow, a doctor entered the waiting room telling the members it would be best for them to go home and rest. "There is no telling when Jin will wake up, and with Jungkook it's also going to be a while. I can tell you're all exhausted. We will give you a call when either of their conditions change."

Yoongi immediately freaked out. "No no no, I'm not going home!" He turned to his members in tears. "I don't want to go home. I don't want to-I don't want to-" He started falling into a bad panic attack as he clutched his chest and gasped for air.

"Hey, hey, it's okay," Hobi said gently. He hugged Yoongi. "We won't go there. Okay?"

Taehyung turned to the doctor. "We aren't leaving them here all alone."

The doctor was confused as to why Taehyung thought the two would be alone. "I assure you doctors and nurses are keeping a very close eye on both of them. Neither of them are being left alone."

"We don't mind waiting," Jimin replied. "We will wait here as long as we need to."

The doctor insisted that it was best the members headed home, almost demanding that they do it.

"No, we have a right to stay and wait as long as we want to," Namjoon replied sternly. The doctor backed off and told them they might be waiting a while.

The members had been sitting in that waiting room for two days. Jin still hadn't woken up, and every single time Jungkook did he'd start screaming and crying and have to be medically sedated all over again, it was the only way to get him to calm down.

The members still weren't allowed to visit. They hadn't heard a word from Ky. The police were leaving them alone in the meantime as well.

After two days of nowhere to lay their heads or get a decent meal, and no car, the members were grumpy and all in terrible moods.

"I miss my bed." Hobi yawned and rubbed the back of his neck, which was sore from sitting in a chair for days. He felt bad admitting it because he knew he still wanted to be close to his brothers who were hurt.

"I'm not going home," Yoongi replied.

"There are hotels nearby. Even within walking distance. We could get one of those for now? Just somewhere to rest while we wait for Jin and Jungkook. You know since we don't have a car, and need to avoid the house." Namjoon figured that was the only option they really had at this point.

"I suppose that could work." Jimin turned to Yoongi to see if he'd agree. The eldest rapper nodded his head and he said that it wasn't a terrible idea. Finding something nice and close to the hospital, and nice and far from Ky, was the goal here.

Namjoon called around and was able to book them a large suite with three bedrooms in it at a hotel just around the block. They walked there and were glad to see it was only a 15 minute walk from the hospital. The first thing they did when they got to their suite was jump onto the beds and stretch out. Taehyung immediately closed his eyes and Hobi was the first to start running a hot bath.

Jimin frowned and turned to Namjoon. "You know, it's not fair. He's at our house. It should be him staying in a damn hotel, not us."

Namjoon pulled Jimin into a hug. "I know. But right now it's best we stay clear of him. Hopefully he's calmed down, though."

"And what about all of our stuff? We have nothing. No food. No clothes. Who knows how long we will be here?" Jimin said what everyone was thinking.

They couldn't avoid their house forever.

Hobi had walked into the room while the bathtub was filling up. He realized as terrified as he was, all they were doing by hiding was letting Ky win.

"I'll go home and pick anything up that anyone needs," Hobi offered. He felt a new sense of bravery and protection over everyone else. The others looked at him like he'd just grown a million heads. Taehyung immediately gripped his shoulder. "Are you crazy?!"

"Maybe a little bit!" Hobi replied. "But I hate acting helpless!"

Having overheard what Jimin had just told Namjoon, he couldn't help but agree. "Like Jiminie said, it's our damn house! What do we do, just hide from him while he takes it?"

"You're not going to that house alone." Namjoon took a deep breath. "I'll go with you."

Taehyung then turned to Namjoon and grabbed him too. "No! Neither of you can go there!" It was clear the younger boy was panicking at the thought of it.

"It's okay Taehyung. We will go, grab our shit, and come right back," Hobi replied.

Yoongi was standing behind everyone, his eyes glistening with tears. "Guys..." His chin was crinkled and his bottom lip was shaking. "Don't go there."

"I'm sorry hyung but I have to. He can't keep thinking he's winning. The more scared we act the more powerful he becomes," Hobi told his fellow rapper.

"Who said we're acting?! I'm fuckin terrified of that man!" Taehyung cried. "And you should be too! If you go home he's going to hurt you!"

Jimin looked between Hobi and Yoongi. "Maybe he won't...hurt Hobi...it's Yoongi he's mad at."

"You know how he gets!" Taehyung's voice picked up as did his anxiety. "He hurts whoever he wants, whenever he wants!"

"I promise it'll be quick! And..." Hobi tried to think of how to do this the safest way possible. "Considering we have to take a taxi because we don't have a car, we can ask the driver to wait outside for us and to..."

"To what? Call for help if something happens? Hm? Because that works so well! Our bullshit manager already somehow paid off the entire damn town to not help us!" Taehyung screamed.

Hobi was getting extremely discouraged, but he didn't want to back out of his idea. He wanted to get this done. A small part of him hoped maybe he could even still talk to Ky and calm him down so he wouldn't be so angry at Yoongi. As much as he knew that wouldn't work, the small spark of hope was still there.

"Hobi hyung...it's really not a good idea..." Jimin's eyes were falling back and forth between Namjoon and Hobi, then he turned to Yoongi who was silently wiping his tears.

Yoongi had no clue what to say, too many thoughts were swirling through his head.

Hobi was already calling for a taxi while Namjoon kept reassuring the others that they would be quick. "We will stay far away from Ky. If he even tries to get near us we will drop everything and get out of there if we have to. Okay?"

It was clear that Namjoon and Hobi were going to attempt this journey no matter what anyone said. They told the others they weren't allowed to come. It was something they wanted to accomplish knowing everyone else was still safe. The taxi got there and everyone hugged.

"Please promise me you'll be okay. Be smart about this," Yoongi whispered into Namjoon's ear.

"I promise, hyung."

The two were quickly gone and the others curled up on one of the hotel beds together, their hearts all beating a mile a minute with panic. Each of them were imagining every possible worst case scenario as they cried. Taehyung decided to ease his nerves by stealing the hot bath Hobi had started. 

About 20 minutes later they got a call from Hobi.

"What's wrong?!" Jimin screamed into the phone. He heard Hobi laughing.

"He's not even here!" Hobi sounded ecstatic. "The taxi pulled up to the house and his car was gone. We came inside and he left a note saying he was going on a trip and he will be back in a few days. He dated it this morning, so we get our house back!"

The three in the hotel smiled at the news. It would be nice to be home, even if just for a moment.

"We will come back and get you guys!" Namjoon said.

"But wait..." Yoongi seemed not as thrilled. "What about the hotel? And getting to and from the hospital?"

Namjoon seemed to have already planned everything out. He mentioned they could rent a car for the time being so they could get to and from the hospital from their house. They could also now stop paying to stay in the hotel for a few days. It was the perfect plan.

Yoongi was hesitant to agree to all of this, but figured if Ky was gone on some stupid trip for a few days it would be nice to be home and comfortable in his own bed.

Namjoon and Hobi headed back to the hotel and were quick to rent a car before picking up the rest of them. They didn't have anything to pack and bring home considering they'd gone there with nothing.

Everyone felt another wave of relief when they pulled into the house and so far, Ky really was still gone.

"Maybe while he's gone he will completely forget he was even mad," Namjoon said, hoping to ease everyone's nerves.

"I doubt that," Yoongi frowned.

Once inside it was nice smelling their own home again. Yoongi couldn't help but be curious as to whether or not Ky had cleaned up the mess they had left of his room.

But I am not touching that bedroom door.

He took the safe route and let himself remain curious.

While at home the first thing they did was fight over the shower, aside from Taehyung who had already taken that nice bath. Hobi and Yoongi cooked up some food and set it out at the table.

The first thing they noticed was the two empty seats beside them and suddenly nobody had an appetite. Jimin was the first to break down in tears. "My baby and my hyung," he sobbed. "When will they be okay?"

Not having any updates or answers was killing them. They knew Jungkook had kept waking up and were furious to know they still weren't allowed to see him. Everyone began crying over the condition of their brothers, all expressing their sorrow. They decided to not eat much and call it a night. They were exhausted.

Yoongi and Taehyung both walked into empty bedrooms and both walked back out to find each other.

"Can I sleep with you?" Taehyung asked Yoongi. "I've never slept...without Jungkookie there..."

"I was going to ask if I could sleep with you." Taehyung could hear the sadness in his hyungs voice. "I got so used to sharing the bed with Jin...now it feels weird without him.."

They decided to curl up in Yoongi's bed together after saying their rounds of goodnight's to the others.

Surprisingly, despite all of the anxiety and stress, everyone was out like a light as soon as their heads hit their pillows, falling into deep slumber.

Which is why nobody was aware that a car had pulled up in the middle of the night, having turned its headlights off before parking outside the house.

Ky had come back.

He got out of the car and went inside, directly to Yoongi's room. He saw him and Taehyung curled up together.

Not for long.

Not wanting to wake them up immediately, he carefully and gently started unwrapping Taehyung's arms from around Yoongi. He slid his arms under Yoongi's head and under his knees and slowly lifted him out of the bed.

I'm going to have fun with you.

He carried Yoongi outside and started making his way down one of the trails that were by the house. When he got as far enough away as he wanted, he let go, slamming Yoongi's body into the cold dirt with a thud.

The rapper's eyes immediately shot open, feeling like he'd just had one of those dreams where you feel like you're falling. It took him a moment to realize his entire body was throbbing. He looked around confused, blinking the sleep from his eyes. It was cold and dark, the only light coming from the moon and stars above.

"Why am I..." Yoongi started talking to himself while looking around.

His body turned to ice when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Sleep well?"

He immediately tried jumping to his feet to run but Ky caught him.

"No no no! How?! How the hell?!" Yoongi screamed. His entire core was on fire. The burning sensation of fear was exploding through every single inch of his body. He could feel his own heart on the verge of exploding.

Ky grabbed him by his hair and yanked the rapper's ear to his mouth so he could hear him. "I'd shut the hell up if I were you, unless you'd like me to make this go a lot quicker and snap your fucking neck right here and now."

Yoongi whimpered. "P-please let me go. Please let me go," he begged.

Ky didn't listen, he made sure to have a large fistful of Yoongi's hair in his clutches as he started dragging the boy deeper into the woods.

"Stop! Ky please! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I touched your stuff!" Yoongi's tears ran hot down his cheeks. He didn't know how the hell he ended up in this situation. He'd just gone to bed cuddled up with Taehyung, he didn't understand. He also started to worry about whether Taehyung was okay. He couldn't believe he slept through being carried outside into the woods in the middle of the night. 

"Oh I am sure that you are," Ky replied sternly.

Once they were deeper into the woods, Ky shoved Yoongi onto the ground again. Yoongi felt himself land on some sharp rocks that were poking out of the dirt. He immediately started crawling backwards, his flight mode in full force. Ky was taking long strides towards him.

"There's nowhere to run, Yoongs." Ky smiled and Yoongi saw his teeth shine in the moonlight. He felt like he wasn't even looking at a human figure but some kind of murderous beast.

"Ky...p-please..." Yoongi choked on his own mucus because he was crying so hard. "I'm sorry...I swear I will never..."

Ky lunged forward and punched Yoongi square in the face, sending the rapper barreling down into a lying position.

"Ahh-hh!" He screamed, grabbing his nose as he felt blood start to trickle out of it.

"I'm sorry...please...Ky...don't do this..." He didn't know what else to do except apologize over and over.

"You know, Yoongs?" Ky said. He started circling around the boy, taking slow, menacing strides. "I thought you all would have learned a thing or two after what I did to Jimin, but clearly each of you is an idiot, and I have to continuously repeat myself."

"No-no you don't!" Yoongi said, panic evident in his shaky voice. "I swear I've learned! I promise! I'll never touch your stuff again!" He didn't know where to go. Every time he picked a direction to try and get up and run in, Ky was already in the way.

"P-please let me go..." Yoongi continued. "I...I..." He didn't know what else to say. So he did all he could think to do.

He started screaming for help, but Ky was quick to stop him. Ky dove down and got on top of him, putting his hands to his throat. He started squeezing, crushing Yoongi's windpipe so he couldn't breathe. The rapper attempted to gasp for air as he wrapped his hands around Ky's wrists, trying to pry him off. But Ky was so, so strong.

Yoongi felt like this was also making the blood pour out of his nose even faster. The metallic taste of his blood was dripping into his mouth. His head exploded with a headache after some time not being able to breathe. To his surprise Ky got off of him and backed up.

"I want to hear you beg," Ky said, smiling.

Yoongi was too busy gasping for breath and grabbing at his burning throat. He got on his hands and knees and tried to crawl away again but he had no energy to move an inch. He felt a kick hit him in the side of the head and felt more blood start trickling down his face.

"Hmph..." Yoongi whispered.

"I know you fucking heard me. I said I want to hear you beg," Ky spat.

Yoongi tried to reply but kept coughing. "B-beg...f-or..what...?" His voice was low and raspy, it hurt too much to speak.

"To live." Ky began laughing as Yoongi watched him walk over and pick up what seemed to be a giant, thick tree branch.

No...

"Ky...please..." he whimpered with every breath he could muster.

Ky raised the branch into the air. "What was that?" he asked.

"No..." Yoongi stared up in horror as he saw the branch come down and smash him in the back.

"Ahh!" He cried again, his body going limp back onto the ground.

"H...h...Ky-p...lease...d-don't kill me..." he choked.

Ky raised the branch again. "And why shouldn't I?" he laughed. "Oh, Yoongs. Don't you know you're worthless anyway? I mean who cares if you die, really? Everyone else still has each other. I don't think it'd make much of a difference."

"No..." Yoongi knew that was a lie. He knew his brothers would care.

Ky raised the branch again and started to walk in circles around the rapper a second time. "And you know what else? Say you did die, right here. Then there would only be six of you left. Assuming Jin even ever wakes up from that nice little nap he's taking."

Yoongi filled with a worse sense of anger at the mention of Jin.

"S-shut up!" he managed to scream.

"Oh? What? You don't like me mentioning the fact your precious little hyungie is laying in the hospital? Oh and not to mention the little one too! Your little Jungkookie! Oh, those poor boys. I wonder how in the world that happened. I mean why on earth would Jin crash that car?! Not with precious little Jungkook in the back seat!"

"Shut up!" Yoongi screamed, covering his ears with his hands. Ky bent down and ripped Yoongi's hand off his ear, and got close to it.

Whispering.

"Oh yeah. Jin wouldn't crash that car. That was my fault, oops! I'm sorry!"

Yoongi mustered all the strength he could and punched Ky in the side of the head. "I said shut the hell up!" he screamed.

"Oh, so now you want to make this more fun?!" Ky brought the branch down and slammed it into Yoongi's ribs, making the boy curl up into a little ball and wither in pain. He started whimpering loudly as he felt blood now trickling across his stomach.

"What's that?" Ky said at the random noises of pain Yoongi was making. "I thought you wanted to beg for your life? Have you given up?!"

"N-no..." Yoongi whispered so quietly it wasn't even audible. He didn't want to die here at the hands of this man. Not like this.

"'Cause you know, if I killed you now, then I could focus on the others. And plucking them off this earth too." Ky jabbed the stick into Yoongi's stomach. "One...by..." he pulled the branch back and harshly jabbed him again. "...fuckin one."

"P-please..." Yoongi couldn't think of a single thing to say. He felt as though he was standing right on death row and he was next. This has to be a nightmare. I was just sleeping. Wake the fuck up, Yoongi. Taehyung, wake me the fuck up! Please!

"P-please..." Ky mocked, imitating the way Yoongi was quietly stuttering and begging through his tears. "Pathetic little thing you are. I mean look at you. Curled up on the ground in a little ball, crying like a big fucking baby. Covered in blood. A defenseless excuse of a human. You're not all that tough, are you?"

Yoongi buried his face into his hands. Right now he knew that no, he was not that tough.

Ky smashed his foot down onto Yoongi's chest and pinned his body to the dirt. He smiled down at him.

"And to think, Yoongs!" Ky looked up at the moon. "It's only the middle of the night!"

He then bent down and got in the rappers face.

"...And I'm just getting started."
