Instead of leaving the room, Jungkook sprinted to Yoongi and grabbed his shoulders, through his sobs he began screaming. "Stop! No! Stop!"

"Jungkook, I said get out!"

Without listening, Jungkook turned to Namjoon and began pleading, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't tell them. It was an accident. Hyung please. I swear it was an accident. I had a bad dream and it was brought up but I promise I didn't tell them! Please don't hurt Taehyung!"

Namjoon had no response to either of them. He just stared and watched as Jungkook pleaded for Taehyung's safety. Yoongi hadn't stopped glaring at him, his hands in fists. Namjoon found satisfaction in all of it, he liked seeing Jungkook in pain. He continued to watch Jungkook panic.

Jungkook grabbed Yoongi and dug his face into Yoongi's neck, saying something through his tears but it was incomprehensible.

"What?" Yoongi kept asking.

Jungkook was finally loud enough. "My TaeTae. He's go..ing to hur..t TaeTae. You weren't supposed to know. Now he'll hurt him! Why couldn't you j-just leave it alone?!"

"Nobody is going to hurt Taehyung!" Yoongi couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He gently shoved Jungkook aside and marched right up to Namjoon and shoved him as hard as he could. "When does it end with you?!"

It took everything in him not to punch Namjoon right in the face again, he didn't want his maknae to witness that. "You've been hitting him too?!"

Jungkook shoved himself between the two. "Hyung please! He didn't mean to! It was just an accident! It was only once!" He was having a full anxiety attack.

"Stop defending him Jungkook! Bullshit it was an accident! He just happened to accidentally threaten to hurt Taehyung too if you told somebody? That's not an accident!"

Yoongi couldn't wrap his head around why Jungkook kept defending Namjoon every time he hurt him. He told himself maybe it was just the maknae's unconditional love he had for everyone. Yoongi felt disgusted knowing Namjoon was taking advantage of that.

Yoongi shoved Namjoon again. "So now you're just not going to say anything? You're a real tough guy aren't you? You suddenly just enjoy hurting people now? You're lucky I don't beat the shit out of you right here and give you a taste of your own medicine! Why do you keep fucking hurting him?! He hasn't done anything to you! And you're threatening to hurt Taehyung too?! Did you just suddenly become a psychopath overnight!? Are you possessed or something?! What's wrong with you?!"

Jungkook was on the ground at Yoongi's feet hyperventilating. The only thing going through his head was his fear of Taehyung getting hurt. In that moment he desperately wanted to hold him and protect him from everyone and everything. He couldn't hold it in anymore, he started quietly crying for Taehyung. Yoongi couldn't take the sight of his maknae falling apart on the floor like this, he ran to the bedroom door and cracked it open, and called for Taehyung to come up.

"No! Hyung no! What are you doing?!" Jungkook had terror in his eyes.

"I know how badly you need him right now. And I'm also going to show you that Namjoon isn't going to put a fuckin hand on him, are you?" Yoongi turned back to Namjoon. "If you even TRY to touch him when he comes in this room I swear to god Namjoon you'll be sorry."

Namjoon and Yoongi glared angrily at each other, then Taehyung walked in and closed the door behind him. He didn't say anything until he saw Jungkook soaked in a puddle of tears at Yoongi's feet. He ran to him and threw himself on the floor next to him, Jungkook immediately wrapped his arms around him and hugged him as tightly as he could. He continued to cry and hyperventilate and just kept repeating himself. "TaeTae, TaeTae."

Taehyung looked up at both his hyungs, tears filling his own eyes, "What happened to him...?"

He knew Jungkook only pulled out the 'TaeTae' nickname when he was extremely scared or had gotten extremely hurt, which was not often.

"Taehyung you want to know what happened to him? Namjoon. That's what happened to him."

Taehyung looked up at Namjoon, who still wasn't speaking. "Hyung? What did you do to him?"

Namjoon didn't reply. He continued to stare at everyone. Yoongi suddenly remembered something.

The bruises on Jungkook.

Yoongi grabbed Jungkook's shirt and pulled it up to expose the bruises, Jungkook tried to fight him off but Yoongi wouldn't let him. "These are from you, aren't they!?!" Yoongi screamed at Namjoon, he knew Taehyung wasn't really strong enough to cause them. How had he missed the bruises last night when helping Jungkook change into his pajamas? He suddenly remembered, last night the maknae had been persistent about facing the other way when getting his shirt on.

Taehyung didn't know what to say. He was in shock. Jungkook was shaking in his arms and clinging to him, finally he found some words. "You hurt Jungkookie? You did that to our maknae?"

Taehyung was in tears. "How could you?!" He turned to Jungkook. "Why didn't you tell anybody? Why did you just lie to us? Jungkook you know we would have protected you!" He hugged Jungkook as tightly as he possibly could. "Kookie, we would have protected you." Taehyung felt like a complete failure. He felt like no matter what he couldn't save Jungkook from getting hurt.

"I'll tell you why he lied. 'Cause Namjoon over here decided to threaten to hurt you too if Jungkook said anything. And you know a threat like that would make him keep his mouth shut." Yoongi was livid, he was still holding back the urge to beat the hell out of Namjoon.

Taehyung looked up at his leader from the floor. "You want to hurt me too? Why?" The innocence in Taehyung's voice made both Yoongi's and Jungkook's hearts sink. Yoongi saw Taehyung and Jungkook as the two purest souls on earth, he felt like the world didn't even deserve their innocence. His heart could only shatter so many times before there weren't any pieces left of it.

"I have no desire to hurt you, Taehyung." Namjoon took a step towards the two cuddled up together on the floor, but Yoongi quickly stepped in to block them as he smacked Namjoon on the chest. "Don't you even dare get near them!"

The two maknae's started crawling backwards away from them both to get away.

"Look what you've done to them! They're terrified of you! No desire to hurt Taehyung? Just a desire to beat your maknae until he's black and blue and threaten to hurt someone he loves to keep his mouth shut right? That's your desire? Why did you hit him in the first place?! And when?" Yoongi needed more answers than he was getting out of the leader.

"None of your business."

Yoongi's mouth dropped open in disbelief. He honestly couldn't believe what was happening right now.

"Jungkook when did he hit you? And why did he do it?" Jungkook looked at Namjoon and became too afraid to answer. He just wanted to hide and not be around anymore. He hid into Taehyung's chest instead.

"You know what Namjoon? Don't answer me, it's probably bullshit anyway. But guess what? You're done being our leader and you're done with this band. I'll make sure of that."

"Hyung-" Jungkook yelled but was cut off.

"Shut up Jungkook! I'm done listening to your excuses for him. No leader of ours is going to be abusive, hit, or threaten people!" Yoongi yelled.

They all looked at Namjoon waiting for his response. They never got one.

Namjoon pushed Yoongi out of his way and left the room. They all heard him stomp down the stairs and go out the back door. Yoongi sighed as he went over to his two maknae's who were huddled up against the wall together. "You two will be okay. Jungkook, please never lie to us about somebody hurting you, even if they threaten you, tell us the truth. That goes for you too Taehyung. I know how scared you guys can get, that's what your hyungs are here for. To protect you."

"Joonie hyung isn't being protective..." Taehyung looked down at Jungkook who was silently crying in his arms.

"Namjoon isn't your hyung. I don't know who he is lately but he's not your hyung."

Yoongi hugged them both for a minute and then helped them to their feet. They still had a lot to do before leaving and figured they better get started with packing. The three walked downstairs to see the other members cleaning up the kitchen. "What on earth was that about? Why'd he look so mad?" Hobi asked.

"He hit Jungkook." Taehyung didn't hesitate to tell them. Everyone let out a shocked gasp, and started asking Jungkook a bunch of questions.

"I don't want to talk about it. Can we just pack up and clean please?" Jungkook asked his hyungs.

They agreed not to bother him or ask but they were all extremely angry with Namjoon and extremely hurt that Jungkook had lied earlier. After cleaning up the kitchen everyone headed back to their rooms to start packing away all their stuff. Yoongi took the phone he had and decided to try calling his manager and to his surprise the call went through, "Of course now it works." He was irritated.

Manager Jung picked up the phone. "Yoongi-ah! How have you guys been? I have been trying to reach you but none of your phones seem to be working! Have you guys been charging them?"

Yoongi wasn't in the mood for small talk, he just wanted to leave, so without answering any of his managers questions he began, "What time are we being picked up? We need to leave right now. Everything here is shit and we would like to be picked up already."

Manager Jung was surprised by the coldness in Yoongi's tone and his comment. "Is everything okay? What's happening? Yingi actually left about ten minutes ago so give or take about two to three hours and he'll be there to pick you guys up."

Yoongi was so relieved to hear their driver was already on their way to pick them up. "Just a lot going on, but we can talk about it later. However can you set up a doctor appointment for Namjoon for as soon as possible? Also one for Jungkook and Taehyung?" the rapper asked.

"Is Jungkook still sick? Why Taehyung and Namjoon?"

"They're all sick."

His manager agreed to set appointments up for all three members but then had to get going as he had a busy schedule for the rest of the day.

Yoongi yelled throughout the house. "Yingi is on his way! He'll be here in a few hours!"

Everyone in the house let out a scream of relief and excitement to finally go home. However Namjoon wasn't anywhere to be found ever since storming outside, and nobody really cared to look for him at this point either. The members hung around for the next few hours and watched TV until they heard the sound of their drivers SUV pull up.

Everyone started clapping and cheering for joy. Jimin ran outside sprinting to Yingi and gave him a tight hug. "Finally! We've been waiting for you to come back since we got here!" he exclaimed.

The members followed Jimin outside to greet Yingi. "Was the house really that bad? Three days, that's it?" Yingi joked with the members. They all laughed and told him how they don't plan on going on any more vacations anytime soon.

"Okay we need to pack up our stuff , let's go everyone the sooner we are out of here the better!" Jin gestured for everyone to go back to the house to start loading their things into the SUV. They figured they'd go find Namjoon after they were all done packing their own stuff.

While the members were putting their suitcases in the trunk, Jungkook had snuck back off into the house because he thought he forgot some of his toiletries in the bathroom. He was looking around the bathroom trying to remember where he had stored some of his floss packs when he heard someone walk up the stairs and stand behind him. "Hyung do you remember where I put my-" he stopped short when he looked behind him to see Namjoon hovering above him, and he looked VERY angry. Jungkook felt his body tense up and a sense of fear shot through his chest, he didn't want to be alone with Namjoon, and he knew Yoongi already told him not to be.

"Jungkook-ah," Namjoon began as he grabbed his maknae's wrist, "Let me show you something."
