Jin's POV

When Joonie and I got back to the apartment, we saw a sight that I never wanted to see.

There were at least four or five police cars and one ambulance surrounding the premises. There was one different colored police car, which I assumed my dad was being held in.

Joonie and I ran into the house. He went upstairs with mini me to check on Eomuk and Odeng, while I checked on the others.

Jungkook had a few scars on his arms and one on his cheek.

Taehyung and Jimin had a few bruises and Jimin had a bloody lip.

Yoongi and Hoseok just had marks from the taser, and some bruises from falling down the stairs.

While Hoseok was still asleep, Yoongi was boiling mad, sitting on the couch. He was possibly more mad than I was. He was crying as he held Hoseok in his arms.

I couldn't blame him. Hobi is his best friend, and he means everything to Yoongi. Why wouldn't he be this upset? Still, even though I've seen him cry before, I've never seen him cry like this...

I walked to him slowly, as to not make him more mad.

"Hey, you did really well Yoongi..."

I reassured him, crouching down in front of him.

"..."

He just stayed silent, watching over Hobi.

He looked like he was scared to move. Like if he did, he'd break him, lose him. He just looked too fragile. I've never seen any of them look this broken.

I was about to reassure him more, but he started sobbing, and clinging onto Hoseok more.

"A-All I wanted....to do....., w-was protect him.... H-He's such an i-idiot...., provoking your dad l-like that..."

I've never seen him this torn apart...

I trust he knew that Hobi was gonna be ok, but this is his best friend we're talking about. He's always wanted to protect him at all costs.

"I know you really want to protect Hobi, but it's not your fault, Yoongi. You're an amazing friend, and you're a very strong person. Hobi would think so too"

"But...., h-he asked me to t-take him out for him.... I c-couldn't even do that...... I'm w-weak...."

His sobs started to cease a little.

"You're not weak, Yoongi. Your body just wasn't used to feeling that kind of shock, and neither was Hobi's. I know you wanted to fulfill that wish for him, but some things are just our out of our control. Hobi's gonna be fine, I promise"

I reassured him, stroking his cheek that had tear stains on it.

The others gathered around, and reassured him that Hobi was gonna be ok. We all got into a group hug, and he started crying again.

"I l-love you g-guys...."

He managed to say in between his cries.

After a few minutes, Joonie came back down stairs looking very happy.

"Jinnie~. Odengie and Eomukie are ok~. And I put Jin to bed~"

He informed, skipping over to us.

Everyone parted from Yoongi, knowing that he'd want to see him.

"J-Joonie! You're okay!"

"All thanks to you, Hobi, and everyone else! I really appreciate it~!"

"I-It was no p-problem..."

Yoongi's eyes lit up immediately at hearing the familiar voice.

He looked down, and Hoseok was awake!

"HOBI!!!"

Yoongi almost hugged the life out of him.

He was so happy to see him awake.

"Yoongi-hyung! Why so touchy all in a sudden~?"

Hoseok questioned giggling.

"Hobi, I thought I lost you after you were attacked. I'm sorry, I couldn't fulfill your wish. I wasn't able to take him out for you. I really wanted to, but I couldn't. I'm sorry, I'm really really sorry. I let you down..."

"Hyung..."

"You're just too good to me. I've always wanted to show my gratitude to you, but I never knew how. I thought this would be my chance, but I failed you.... You just mean so much to me. I couldn't bear with the thought of losing you, because I like you! Not just as a friend either, I really, really like you, Hoseok..."

The room got silent really quick.

Did Yoongi really just confess to Hoseok that boldly??!

Hoseok was blushing so hard after Yoongi just confessed to him. He just stared at Yoongi with a really shocked expression, then a tear rolled down his cheek.

"Oh... No, don't cry! I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said that... I'm an idiot-"

Hoseok shocked everyone with what he did next, including Yoongi.

Hoseok sat up so quick, that none of us noticed he moved, and he crashed his lips onto Yoongi's.

I could tell that Yoongi didn't know what to do. His eyes were wide open with shock, while Hoseok's were closed as he kissed him.

Hoseok pulled away and giggled at Yoongi's, and everyone else's, reaction.

"Hobi..."

"Hyung, I never told you this, but I like you too. And as you can tell, not just as my friend. I really, really like you, Yoongi-hyung"

For the first time in what seemed like a lifetime, Yoongi's gummy smile made a comeback.

He looked happier than he's ever been before, as they both hugged each other. Everyone clapped softly at the sight of the new couple.

⚬⚬⚬

It suddenly came to me that my dad was still in the cop car. I had to get to the bottom of this before they took him away.

"Guys, I hate to spoil the mood, but come with me. Please..."

I asked them, speed walking out the apartment.

I ran outside to the car as they were about to close the door.

"Dad!!!"

I yelled after him, resulting in the cop leaving the door open for me to talk to him.

I ran up to him, and hugged him with tears in my eyes. It felt like how I used to hug him when I was little.

"Jin..."

He called my name softly with what sounded like love and adoration, just like his voice was when I was little.

Something was off. He felt different, and his aura was different.... Even his voice sounded different. What was going on with him?

"Dad, I just want to ask. Why did you do all of this...?"

He looked at me and looked away.

I saw a tear come down his face, something I've never seen, not even when he divorced my mom.

"D-Dad?"

"Jin... I'm so, so sorry... I don't know what got into me back then. I never wanted to do any of this to you, or your friends. I certainly never wanted to do this to your mother either..."

"Dad... What are you-"

"When you were born, I was so happy that I brought you into this world, after your brother, with your mother. You three were the love of my life. You all still are. I told myself that I'd protect all of you, but look what I've done... I'm that one that's hurt you all instead of protecting you... I know that you all probably won't believe me, but I'm truly sorry...for hurting all of you, including you Namjoon..."

Joonie walked up and stood beside me.

He reached for my dad's hand and held it. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then spoke.

"Spirit"

"What?"

All of us asked in unison.

"The reason why he's done all this. It wasn't something he thought of doing, or that he wanted to do. It was the work of a spirit"

That made no sense, until I remembered that Joonie is a hybrid.

Meaning that he has animal like traits. Cats and other animals can see spirits and ghosts often.

"I never noticed it before, since I was scared back then, but now I see, this is the real him. That spirit is gone now. It's not his fault, he shouldn't be held accountable for this..."

We all looked at my dad who was still crying, and then we looked at the officer.

We all looked at each other, and we all had the same thought.

"Everyone deserves a second chance"

The officer looked at us, and looked at my dad.

He came closer to him and asked him to look up at him.

"Do you really mean all of the things you've said to your son and his friends?"

He asked.

My dad couldn't speak from the fact that he was still crying, so he just nodded.

The officer looked at all of us, to make sure that we were making the right decision.

"Are you all sure that you want him to be free after all of this?"

We all looked at each other and thought for a few seconds.

Hoseok nodded first, smiling at my dad, which was followed by Yoongi nodding. Jimin and Taehyung nodded in unison. Jungkook was the only one left.

He walked over to my dad and sighed.

"You hurt my hyungs sir, and you hurt your wife as well. You didn't really hurt me, but there's still pain from what you've caused..."

My dad nodded at Kookie's words.

He had a point.

"However, if you didn't have heart, you wouldn't be in this state now. I trust in Joonie's instincts, and I see it in your eyes that you mean it. After all, I'm twenty-one now. I know what I need to know"

He said smiling at him.

"If my hyungs can forgive you, including Yoongi-hyung, then I forgive you"

He nodded, making his decision.

My dad smiled, and thanked Jungkook as he backed away. Dad looked at me and Joonie next, in which I looked at Joonie.

He smiled at me without hesitation. I looked at my dad. I really miss having him in my life, like the way he used to be. I really love him and I want to finally spend time with him.

"Well then, we won't remove the handcuffs, out of trust issues. But if there is someone that can pick him up, we'll remove them when they get here"

Me and my dad looked at each other.

I think we have the same person in mind.

"Mom~?"

I asked smiling.

He nodded and smiled back.

⚬

I called my mom and explained everything to her, with the help of everyone else.

My dad said his apologies so many times that they were both in tears.

She came to my apartment and hugged him. She really missed him, just as much as I did. I joined the hug along with everyone else, tears and everything.

The officer removed the handcuffs, and my dad did nothing to harm any of us in any way. He really did mean it. He truly had changed.

My mom led him to the car, but he stopped. He ran to me and Joonie and hugged us both.

"I love you two so much.."

We were stunned for a few seconds, but we hugged him back.

"I love you too dad~"

Joonie just called him, dad.

He must really miss his father...

My dad accepted Joonie calling him that, and rubbed his ears, earning soft purrs from him.

⚬1 Hour Later⚬
⚬

After my parents left, we all decided to take our showers and head to bed. I fed Eomuk and Odeng and got ready for bed.

"Jinnie... Can I sleep with you...?"

That was a very sudden request, but I saw nothing wrong with it.

He's slept with me before anyways.

"Yeah, of course Joonie! Come on~"

He smiled and crawled into my bed.

I couldn't let the night end without asking him something.

"Hey Joonie, not to be mean, but why'd you call my dad your dad?"

He looked like he spaced out for a second, then a sad expression grew on his face and his ears drooped on his head.

"I'm sorry Jinnie.... I just really miss my parents. I didn't, but I wanted to call your mom my mom too.... Now that I've seen your dad's true colours, he's like a father to me, same goes for your mom. They just remind me so much of my parents...."

He wasn't crying, but he looked really sad.

I can't bear seeing my poor kitty sad like this. I stroked his head to at least get him to smile.

"It's ok Joonie. I don't mind, and neither do my parents. I'm sure my hyung wouldn't mind you calling him brother either!"

I reassured him, earning purrs and a dimple smile from him.

"Thank you Jinnie~"

He purred cutely.

"Mhm~, but let's get some sleep, okay?"

"Okay! Goodnight Jinnie, mini Jin, Odengie and Eomukie~"

He snuggled into my chest and got comfortable in that position.

Then I realized, even though Yoongi confessed to Hoseok, I forgot to confess to Joonie... It's pretty late, and I know he's probably very tired, so my confession will have to wait till later, hopefully...

"Goodnight Joonie...~"
