(Sorry for the SLOW update,

otherwise, I wish you a happy new year)

*************

Jimin has been home for 3 days now and he remains very contains on itself.

He stays alone in his room and refuses to speak to the boy, except for polite expressions and simple answers to their questions.

Jimin spends all his sleeping moments having nightmares, but he refuses to sleep with one of the members.

Namjoon feels very guilty, he can't stand to see him like that anymore, to see him isolated, not to evolve.

Fortunately, he can count on his elders for support.

Notably Yoongi who spent several hours reading websites, articles and watching conference on depression and self-isolation. With his past and what he learned. He thinks he has found some approach that might help him.

So after a long day of hesitation, he decides that today was the day he was going to help him open up. Especially since today they were going to receive the visit of Chul-Moo the chef police officer of the investigation. He had kindly waited before questioning Jimin again about what he knew.

Yoongi goes towards his room and knocks on his door softly, but enough for Jimin to hear it.

No answer,

he starts again.

But still nothing.

Y: Jiminie it's Yoongi, I'm coming.

Upon entering the room, he can hear the shower go.

Yoongi decides to wait for him by sitting down on his bed, thinking about how to approach the subject. But after 5 min the water is still flowing and no noise is heard.

Yoongi ends up go to the door.

He slowly opens the door and he can see Jimin sitting his arms wrapped around his legs his head on his knees, the water running down his back filling with mark

Yoongi still feels the same pinch when he sees his marks.

He walks over, picking up a large towel as he walks by. He stops the water and surround him with the linen, and then kneeling beside him, Yoongi delicately shakes Jimin's shoulder. But this one begins to tremble.

Y: Jimin it's yoongi wake up you're going to catch a cold like that.

His breathing quickens and Yoongi can feel him tense under his hand.

Jm: no! Leave me, I do not want ...  No !!!

Yoongi suddenly gets up and turns the water back on, hoping that this will cut off the memory he is reliving.

When the water hits him again, Jimin jumps, he trots back to the bottom of the shower. Then, he starts looking panicked at his hyung.

Yoongi stops the water again and replaces the towel with a dry one. Yoongi is getting back to his level. 

Jimin grabs his arm. He can't breathe anymore.

Y: Jimin it's over I'm here, look at me.

Focus on me, okay.

Jimin is still holding yoongi's arm like it was the only thing holding him back to life. Still breathing too fast, but he follows what Yoongi says.

Y: There, that's fine.

Breathe at the same time as me.

Yoongi exaggerates his breathing movements so that Jimin imitates him. Well he tries.

Y: That's it, a little more,

Yoongi remembers, an exercise he read online.

Y : Jimin tells me 4 things you see

he frowns, but with the seriousness of his elder, he begins

Jm: I see ... the ... the door, my flo ... flower,.... The ground and.... and you

He calms down more and more by quoting things. Even if the exercise seems absurd to him, Yoongi can see the effects, making him concentrate on those around him has a real effect even if he doubts it too. So he takes this benefit and continues.

Y: very well Jimin now 3 things you hear

Jimin hesitates, but continues.

Jm: the drops of water, your... your voice. And, and mine.

Yoongi finally chuckles a little, the exercise works, but he feels stupid to do that.

Y: I admit that I can't hear anything else either. You feel better ?

Jm: I'm no more in a crisis, if that's what you ask.

His way of speaking is rather aggressive. But Yoongi does not correct him.

Y: come on, I'll help you get out of there.

Yoongi puts his hand on his friend, but he pulls back and puts his hands in front of him when he saw Jimin in fear of getting hurt.

Y: Hey! Minnie it's me, I'm not gonna do anything to you, you know?

Jimin starts to cry, again all he can do is disappoint them. He comes to help him and he mess up.

JM: I know, hyung, I'm sorry. Don't get upset, I'm sorry.

Yoongi can feel all the fear and sadness in his request.

Y: hey! No, no, it's good, averting fine, I'm not angry, far from it. Minnie, I can't be mad at you. OK ? I'm just here to help you.

Yoongi brings his hand closer to the younger one again.

Y: can I help you ?

Jimin hiccup from crying but finally nods.

Y: can I touch you and help you get up.

Jimin nods.

Suga then helps him get up and brings him to his bed.

He goes to his closet and takes out one of his oversized sweaters and a comfortable pant.

He puts them down next to Jimin and crouches down in front of him.

Y: it's good for you, or you want something else.

Without even looking at them. Jimin assures him that it suits him. Yoongi wanted to remind him how much his opinion mattered, but as he searches for his words so as not to rush him, Jimin gets up and begins to remove the towel.

Yoongi turns around hastily so as not to see Jimin's privacy.

Confused, Yoongi: You... you want me to go out while you get dressed.

Jimin frowns.

Y: Jimin, it's your privacy, you can ask me to go out.

Jm: whatever, I'm done, you can turn around. If you want.

Yoongi approaches Jimin, but Jimin jumps and lowers his head.

Y: you know your opinion is important, don't you?

Jm: I know my opinion doesn't count, alone you decide.

Jimin was once again resumed the attitude that his kidnapper had forced him to have.

The boys weren't sure how to react to it.

Yoongi decides to put it back again, getting into his game a bit.

Y: So, answer my question. Where are you ?

Jm: in my room, sir.

Y: Jimin, what's my name?

Jm: Y ... Yoongi.

Y: Look at me when I'm talking to you.

Jimin hesitates, but looks at him, he knows he shouldn't look them in the eye. But when he looks at Yoongi nothing happens, no fist in the face, no pulled hair, nothing. Jimin takes a deep, jerky breath and repeats.

Jm: Yoongi.

Yoongi smiles at him.

Y: Voilà, I am Yoongi your friend, who only wants your good. You are no longer with them. You are with me in your room, where you are safe and where you decide.

Jimin doesn't know whether to answer or not.

This last day he's completely lost, the members keep telling him that they don't mean any harm to him, but that's not what he was told.

Who to believe.

Yoongi decides to take him out of his thinking.

Y: Inspector Chul-mool is coming today. Do you feel able to talk to him?

Jimin nods, Chul-mool had left him alone since seeing him in the hospital.

But now that he is out of his silence, the inspector would like to have his version of the facts.
