>>>>> A PROMISE BROKEN

''Remember to keep an eye on your Brother. He must never be allowed out of this cave.'' the female voice said

''If he did then the seal keeping you the only humans alive hidden, will instantly be broken. So little girl will you promise me to not allow your little brother to step foot to the outside?'' said the lady with a soft smile but also her eyes are filled with a serious gaze

''Yes I promise'' said little Hyomin.

>>>

Hyomin woke from her out of body experience with a sharp gasp. She immediately goes on a frantic hunt for the whereabouts of her little brother Hoseok that should not ever step out of the cave for the safety of the rest of Humanity.

''Hoseok!! Hoseok!! ....tsk...Where are you?'' she mumbled first with worry and scared eyes before shouting and repeating the words out loud the second, third and fourth time with more urgency.

''Dear God oh no, please ... please please please let it not be too late'' she prayed running around the cave like a maniac looking for her kid brother.

''HOSEOK WHERE ARE YOU!!! .....Excuse me have you seen my brother Hoseok?'' asked Hyomin after running into someone but the person shakes their head sadly to not have seen him.

''OH GOD OH NO WHAT IS THIS BAD OMEN I AM FEELING. '' she said looking about to cry.

She cannot find Hoseok.

He was nowhere to be found so then where was he?

He must not cross over to the outside world or the humans would be in great danger.

She continues to determinedly search for her little brother as the panic in her continued to rise to the maximum level.

''We are doomed but I pray I am wrong'' she said this time actually crying, her chest heaving in anxiety.

>>>

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hoseok stole a soldier's uniform as a disguise to sneakily join the rescue team that were preparing to make their journey to the outside world in hopes to save their brothers that were still out there after sacrificing themselves for the sake of allowing the younger scouts to return home safely after something went wrong on their way back to the cave.

Hoseok manages to get away with the outfit he had stolen and put on, however, he still needed to hide his face.

He needed to steal a gas mask but these masks were scarce and so it was not easy to come across one hanging around in the scout's and soldier's coven inside the cave.

While trembling badly with crippling fear and anxiety of getting caught and worry for the safety of his beloved who was currently probably in danger stuck out there, let's just say this had a serious effect on his usual clumsiness doubling it up a level or two.

He trips and falls several times while making his way to hide behind the rescue team that was currently taking the long snake-trail to where the hole leading to the outside like a creepy clumsy stalker lurking behind in secret.

He tried to remain as quiet as possible secretly following after their step, the path was dark for him to see since he had to rely on the lamp the rescue team was also using in order to remain hidden.

Unfortunately, it made it more difficult for Hoseok to keep himself hidden plus the occasional slump, hard thuds, the sounds of someone hitting the floor after falling isn't helping him the least at being subtle or hidden.

A hush sounding thuds could be heard resounding through the cave-way coming from behind the rescue crew, meaning a hard hit with a dull or heavy sound of something or someone tripping and falling.

And a not so subtle 'Flumppf' also indicating another hush slip of a foot causing the buttocks to smack drop on the rocky ground.

'' Oomph.....krr....Uggh.... sniff-sniff''

The sound of Hoseok trying to hold his pained cries from all the painful falling and tripping, his entire body probably covered with scratches now if not for the soldier's outfit that was protecting him from most damage except his palms, jaws, and face that couldn't be spared.

He bit his lips but struggled to hold the tears which quickly escaped his eyes.

>>>

Thwack....

'' (Short gasp) Hold up guys did ya'll hear that sound coming from behind us?'' whispered Seokjin to the men near him arms stretch to the side to halt them from moving forward.

''I think we have a sneaky little 'baby wabbit' following us'' said Seokjin in a child's way of speaking after the men all shook their heads in agreement then he gestured them to spread so that it was easier for them to catch the inquisitive guest that has been following them all along.

'' H-Hobi is not g-going to cry. H-Hobi you can't cry...ke..... (Sniff).... i-it's all going to be ok so don't be scared Hobi. Y-Yoongi needs you so H-Hobi's got to be s-strong'' he mutters those words over and over to himself to try to calm his thrumming heart and shivering wobbling legs biting his bottom lip to fight off the unwavering tears and fears.

''YAH!!! HOSEOK WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING US? DO YOU THINK YOU WOULDN'T GET CAUGHT!!!'' yelled Seokjin after Hoseok manages to walk right in the middle of the group while being preoccupied with consoling himself and not really being aware of it himself.

The scream from SeokJin causes the poor boy to jump in fright, falling on his bum one more time. His lips draw to a pout visibly now trembling on the verge of sobbing out loud.

He cowers in on himself in pity and guilt and fear when Seokjin approaches him with a scrutinizing pose of that of an angry mother Hen, gaze very serious trained on the now even smaller looking Hoseok, suddenly decreasing further in size to almost a size of a pea.

>>>

When Hoseok makes eye contact with Seokjin and the rest of the men surrounding him who look like a mirror image of the current angry Seokjin all staring at him ready to thoroughly lecture and maybe even punish him by sending him back, the control over his tears break becoming undone and he lets out a loud cry eyes tightly shut mouth open wide from his pout.

The already pathetic wall decomposes and the river damp literally break and poor Hoseok sobs out loud in tears having given up on trying to suppress those same tears for so long, although they had been spilling out long before and he just wasn't aware himself.

A tired worn out sigh flows out of Seokjin's mouth before his eyes became soft leading to an encouraging smile before he bends down to the younger's eye-level. He feels his heart ache to see him cry like that although he looked soo damn cute SeokJin thought the dirt on his face made him appear even more adorable like those puppy pictures he saw in one of the old books back at home-base.

The way the dirt patches laid out just made him appear even more childlike and seeing him cry was just heart wrenching to watch. Seokjin couldn't bear to see the highly sensitive younger boy cry looking so pitiful.

'' .... Hobi-yah Sweetie please stop crying hmm'', Seokjin then squats to the younger's level giving him a warm mama-bear hug to try to console him.

Hoseok accepts the warm embrace eagerly and desperately buries his face into Seokjin's neck and shoulders.

''S-hic-sorry hyung ... hic ... I-I am ... hic ... s-sorry'' He struggles to speak with the constant hiccups.

The rest of the men who were also angry at him and on guard spread out in that small space shoulders begin to melt after seeing how frightened Hoseok looks trying to be brave for his beloved and they all just sigh giving up.

One of the men even unconsciously lifts one of his hands to his chest squeezing it while watching the cute Hoseok clutch on to SeokJin, looking extra adorable in front of them murmuring ''Awwww...''.

Two men actually join in their embrace, Hoseok reaching out to them eagerly as well.

They really are a close tight family even if they don't share the same DNA but they share the same crimson blood which floats through their veins.
