"Jeongguk?" He heard that familiar voice with the deep yet so calming tone to it, knowing instantly that it belonged to Taehyung.

"H-Hyeree- n-not her- here- i- " Jeongguk sobbed into his phone, swallowing his own words, not even being able to form a coherent sentence.

"Jeonggukie, i need you to calm down a bit, yeah? Close your eyes and take a deep breath for me." He heard the worry dripping from Tae's voice and did as he was told, closing his eyes and trying to get a steady breathing pattern again.

"Breathe in.. and out again." Tae guided him until he was finally calmed down a bit and felt like he could tell Tae what was going on.

"I- I wanted to get Hyeree f-from the hospital- b-but o-our father t-took h-her and i d-don't know wha-what to do, T-Tae." Eventhough he calmed his breathing, the sob in his voice was still painfully obvious.

"Wait there, okay? I'm on my way." And before Jeongguk could say something, he heard that continuous beeping noise as an indication that Tae already hung up.

He slowly put his phone back in his pocket before sitting down on the hard ground infront of the hospital.

What if he was never getting Hyeree back? And how is he going to tell his mother what happened? He can't even imagine how dissapointed his mom would be in him, how sad and mad she would be.

He felt the stares of people passing by the front doors, empathetic stares on the first glance, but no one was trying to help him or ask what's wrong. everyone just -- pretended to care, no one really did.

All he wanted was for someone to help him right now since this must have been the darkest moment of his life -- his sister getting stolen by their own abusive father.

Not even his dad beating him up verbally and physically reached the amount of emotional pain he was in at this very moment, on the floor, sobbing.

Gguk pulled his legs flush to his torso, embracing them with his arms and resting his head on top, quietly wheeping and waiting.

To him it felt like hours had already passed when he heard that so familiar deep voice, shouting out his name.

"Jeonggukie!" Gguk rose his head to look for where the voice was coming from, only to spot a bright red haired male with a black face mask and round sunglasses shielding his face, running towards him.

"T-Tae-" He let out as almost a whisper as he was still sobbing before weakly getting up and immediately getting embraced tightly by the older male.

And thats when Jeongguk let himself go, clutching onto Taehyung with no power and crying into his shoulder, hearing Tae whisper sweet nothings into his ear.

They stood like that for what seemed like eternity, Tae giving Gguk his time to calm down, not rushing him at all, just continuing to softly brush his finger through his hair and having an arm slung around his waist.

Jeongguk feebly pulled off of Taehyung, seeing his red puffy eyes in the reflexion of Tae's expensive looking sunglasses.

"How about we go to mine and you explain everything to me? How about that, fairy?" Tae whispered sweetly, continuing to softly pat Gguk's head in an attempt to make him stay as calm as he was right now.

Jeongguk nodded carefully at Tae's suggestion as his head couldn't skip the adorable pet name that he just heard from the older one.

He released himself completely from Tae to pick up his backpack but getting pulled back immediately.

"Let me take that." Taehyung crouched down, swinging the backpack over his shoulder and connecting his and Gguk's hand before making their way over to his car.

Jeongguk was too devastated to even be nervous about what Taehyung would think about him and his family if he told him the entire history of them.

Also if he had a word to say about the whole incident about them getting-- 'caught'.

All that was on his mind but also not -- it was all a big cluster of present thoughts and some pushed back in his head.

He didn't even know what he was thinking about himself -- everything was kind of a blur to him.

When Tae opened his apartment door, memories from the first time he was there flashed through his mind, bringing him a sense of temporary comfort.

"Couch?" Tae pulled him out his thoughts, looking at him fondly and pointing at the big comfy sofa.

Jeongguk nodded in return, slumping over to said couch, sitting down and waiting for Tae to do the same.

He watched as Taehyung put down his backpack carefully, taking a blanket from a basket beside his door with him and walking over to where Gguk was seated and covering him with it.

"So, now please tell me exactly what's going on." Tae sat down, Jeongguk feeling the couch dip slightly beside him, taking one of his hands and stroking it softly with his thumb.

Gguk turned his head to look Tae in the eyes but as soon as he did he felt tears pool in his own again.

"I- i don't k-know where to- to start." Jeongguk forced out, trying to hold back the tears that were painfully close to escaping his eyes now.

"It's okay, i have time." Tae reassured him, feeling him grip his hand a little tighter.

So Gguk explained everything -- from the abuse towards him, to what his mother had to endure and where she is now, to the homophobia, his dad leaving and now also taking Hyeree with him.

With every word he spoke he watched Tae's face morth more into pity and sadness for him, not ever stopping to gently stroke along his hands, getting extra careful after Gguk nentioned the physical abuse he had to go through each and every day.

Once he was done, explaining pretty much his whole entire life, Tae embraced him as tightly as he could, whispering sorry's and 'its gonna be alright' into his ear as Gguk could not hold his tears -- he gave up on that a while ago.

But it felt good, incredibly good, to tell all this to someone who he could trust.

It's not like he didnt trust Jimin-- of course he does, but with Tae, it's a different kind of trust.

But one thing was still lingering in the back of his mind.

"T-Tae i'm sorry-" He quietly sobbed into Taehyung's shoulder who was still not letting him go out of the tight embrace.

"For what, babe?" Tae pulled back, resting his right hand on Gguk's cheek, admiring him.

"F-for ma-making your f-fans mad." Jeongguk leaned out of Tae's touch, expecting the worst as a response if he was being honest. "i-i'm so so-sorry." He dropped his head, not daring to look into Tae's eyes.

Gguk knows exactly how important his fans are to him and how he would never want to disappoint them and now he was the reason why they were exactly that.

He felt Tae's finger slide under his chin, brining his head that he just dropped right back up and meeting his unexpectedly fond eyes.

"How could you apologise for that? I'm not mad, baby." Taehyung smiled sweetly at him. "Were people mad at you?"

Jeongguk nodded his head.

Yes they really were, leaving so many malicious tweets directed at him, it really tore him apart.

"Those aren't my fans then. My purples would want my happiness and if they don't accept that i found it with you, they aren't my fans." Jeongguk's eyes went wide upon hearing him finish his sentence, feeling his heart jump to his throat. "I really like you, Jeonggukie."

Gguk was left speechless. Yes, he does feel for Tae as well but he couldn't quiet figure out what he was feeling -- if it was just a sense of euphoria because he infact was so close to his long time idol or if he was feeling something for Taehyung as the wonderful person that he is.

He closed his eyes, immediately feeling Taehyung edging closer to him and finally feeling their lips attaching in a whole new way.

They only had heated kisses so far, no real loving ones but this one was very different.

It was like Tae poured all the emotions he couldn't express with words into this one kiss, moving his lips so carefully.

So Jeongguk decided to do the same, kiss him back with just as much emotion, tangling his hand up in Tae's freshly dyed red hair.

Moving their lips against one another slowly, Tae's hand moved to Jeongguks cheek again, Gguk immediately leaning into it this time.

A storm of butterflies bubbled up in Gguk's stomach, making him feel nauseous in the best way possible.

They pulled off eachother when their breath got short, looking into eachothers eyes and feeling some sense of happiness or perhaps  a feeling even deeper than that.

"How about you'll sleep now and tomorrow we'll go to the police and see what they can do about your sister?" Taehyung pulled Gguk closer if that was even possible.

He nodded against Tae's neck not wanting him to see the tears that were in his eyes again upon him mention his sister again.

He felt Taehyung get up, pulling Gguk up in his arms and carrying him upstairs to his bed, making sure to have him tugged in just right.

And when he closed his eyes, about to fall asleep with Taehyung beside him he felt him shift, placing a soft peck right on his ear and starting to hum the melody of 'Without' and quietly singing 'no matter what you do, i'm nothing without you'.
