Let You Down - NF

*Rape and death mentions*

________________

Yeosang has been an anxious machine for the past week.

He's been trying to call Woosung just to see how he's been, but he doesn't answer none of his calls or message. He knows him and Jungkook aren't talking so it would be hopeless to call through his phone. Earlier in the week, he got a message from Hyunjin about the incident that he got in, and how Iodine has been working antsy on this task that he asked for her to do.

No one knows what it is, and that alone has Yeosang stressed beyond reasoning.

Lisa wasn't any help either being oblivious about the whole situation, but she did say to not mention anything to Jungkook because then it will only drive him to come back.

This is stressful, and what's worse is that he wasn't there, and he is just about close to booking a train ride.

He would've found those fuckers by now!

But because of Iodine's order's he can't do that just yet, marvelous.

"Hey, you okay?"

Yeosang snaps his head up, seeing a small Jimin wrapped up in mint green blanket that practically dragged itself to the floor, keeping his large eyes focused on him.

The past week has been especially difficult for Jimin. After a threat from Jungkook saying he would report Joshua if Jimin didn't break up with him, Jimin sent his ex lover literally a novel on the reason they shouldn't be together, mentioning how they just not good for each other and a toxic ball, before blocking his number.

He cried.

He cried a lot.

He cried of paranoia, fear, just at himself. Sometimes he cried because he didn't even know why.

In a way, he missed him, terribly. The good moments that is, but would be haunted by the horrid ones too.

Yeosang and Jungkook were there through it all. They haven't touched him, more so because of his paranoia, but they spent multiple days listening to him talk about his experience with Joshua.

And that man... Was cruel.

Jimin would say that sometimes when they would have sex, he would fall into a moment of paralysis and eventually start to feel this sense of panic because he knew when it was over than Joshua would just go back to being.... Like how he was.

He also mentioned how he had a notebook, a diary, with letters for everyone in case he were to.... Go one day.

Jungkook, Taehyung and Yeosang each had one for themselves.

Yeosang isn't one for sentimentality but he did tear up when Jimin read them all one day, only filling his heart with so much relief that Joshua was not part of his life anymore.

It's going to be a process for Jimin, but now he's dwindled his crying to once a day because he's losing more and more his fear.

So upon the sight of the small male with his puffy eyes, Yeosang twitches a smile and pats the space beside him on the couch. Jimin slowly wobbles towards him like a little baby and sits down with knees to his chest, wrapped up in his cute blanket as it practically swallows his whole figure.

"Nothing really, just stressed about stuff from back home," He says lowly and turns to the other, "How are you doing?"

Jimin rests his chin on his knees, evidently seeing how his breath slightly moves to unease for a moment before calming down, "I-I'm still scared.... That he's going to... You know."

The fear of the threat, of course.

Well, if Yeosang's attempt of murder didn't scare him enough, maybe he should make another visit if he has the audacity-

"But I feel a little more comfortable," Jimin chirps quietly, snapping Yeosang from his sinister thoughts, "Thank you.... For checking up on me."

That odd warmth cruise through his body and Yeosang absolutely did not like that one bit. It was an uncomfortable feeling that made him get goosebumps and have this need to throw up by how overwhelming it pulses through his blood like a rush from a drug.

He hated this feeling, it felt weird.

"No problem," He coughs out quietly, right when Jungkook comes out of his room with his oversized pink fuzzy sweater and white jeans.

Oh the clothes.

Yeosang never has failed to laugh at his face to how childish he looks.

It's rather funny pissing him off actually, Yeosang has found a hobby in doing that every time he sees him dressed like this. This is just so unlike the badass Raven that everyone respected with honor.

And Yeosang is enjoying every second of it.

He was actually just about ready to comment something but Jungkook beat him to it with a murderous glare, "Say something and I will throw you out this window?"

Yeosang bubbles out a hysterical chuckle, making Jimin slowly look up at him with his own twitching smile.

He likes seeing his smile too.

Jungkook sits on the coffee table, sending an eye over Jimin, "Feeling better Jimin?"

The other male blinks from his slight trance and  breaks out a heavy sigh, nodding slowly, "It'll get better eventually, right?" He mumbles, clearing his throat, "Remember about how I mentioned my brother is coming over?"

Jungkook nods, remembering that day perfectly well. Though he thought that was a lie to cover up his toxic relationship with Joshua.

Guess that was real.

"Well, he's only staying for the weekend, if that's okay with you," Jimin says reluctantly, "He's just going to be in my room, he doesn't really get out often so he won't be in the way or anything-"

"Jimin relax," Jungkook chuckles calmly, calming down Jimin from his rambling, "Of course he can stay, this is your place too.I would like to meet him though."

This made Jimin perk a small smile, "Of course," He whispers and looks at Yeosang, "And you behave."

Yeosang gawks his lips to him, a bit too dramatically, "Me? I have been an angel-"

"Yeah, just like that time you changed the date on an expired milk carton just because you knew Taehyung has a habit of drinking milk in the middle of the night," Jungkook snorts, making Yeosang bite back a mischievous grin, "Yeah, an angel."

The younger of the two scoffs annoyedly to this, scowling his lips, "We all know how I feel about Taehyung, so it's only normal for me to.... Have fun with it!"

Now this perked a small giggle from Jimin, having him slowly rises to his feet and go to his room, "I'm go shower. Maybe we can watch a movie afterwards?"

Without a doubt the brothers nodded, making Jimin smile again as he disappears into his room with a quiet close of his door.

It was almost impossible to wipe the soft smile off Yeosang's lips as he stares at the door, knowing deep in his heart that Jimin will slow be okay again. It's a relief seeing him be able to walk around the apartment like a shy little kitten to much more comfortably, without his phone in hand most of the times. It hurts now and he will be in pain for a while, but it doesn't mean he is alone through this whole process.

Yeosang has vowed already to be a steady pillar in his life, and that won't change at all.

Meanwhile for Jungkook, he's already ready to risk anything just to assure Jimin's safety, just like how he's always done.

"He reminds me a lot of her, you know?" Jungkook whispers, looking also at the door with a now soft frown, "She is a lot like him before he was with Joshua; Alive, happy, and just so carefree. Now seeing Jimin like this just makes me think about.... That time that..."

The younger brother looks over at him, wearing his own frown before placing a hand on his knee, "I know..... We wouldn't know since she never told us anything..... You wouldn't know Jungkook, please stop feeling guilty about it."

This made Jungkook run a rough hand through his hair, looking back at him, "She was like my daughter,  Yeosang. My daughter. She called me and Woosung her fathers because we found and raised her for years. It's my fault for leaving her alone while I went to use the bathroom. She was just a kid! Fourteen! H-How was she just suppose to know n-not to go into that room with t-those guys that have been manipulating her for w-weeks.... I c-can't-"

Yeosang gets off the couch and hugs his hyperventilating brother, who's close to getting a familiar panic attack by that harsh memory of that night. Well, there's not much to remember actually, only her.

Just the small body on the bloody bed.... So much blood.... And so many cuts and stabbed wounds on her naked flesh.

It was so horrifying.... What was worse was when Woosung came into the room just seconds after Jungkook as they were on their feverish search for her. He was outside taking a call from his mother during that time it happened, with her expressing their financial instability and how they're afraid the landlord was going to take their house away.

He was overwhelmed with stress enough at that moment.

Now to see someone close, who was like his daughter too, raped and murdered brutally on the bed while he was in the same area, he completely broke apart.

They both completely broke.

They spent days, weeks, maybe even months mourning her death. They were like their own little family, and she always would look up to them as her father figures by how protective they were over her.

To little Chungha.

Eventually they found the fuckers who hurt her. Jungkook was too emotional to kill them after a vicious beating that he just had a complete emotional break down, so Woosung did it instead.

Torturously.

To this day, Jungkook can't forgive himself for her death, and that's one of the reasons why he can't be at Busan.

He just remembers her death all too well.

Woosung reminds him of her death too much.

He can't face it.

He can't face her being gone.

That's why he's always protective around Jimin for these events that involved parties or social gatherings. He just sees so many similarities like her in him and.... He's so afraid he will find Jimin with the same fate.

He can't risk losing someone good again.

Yeosang hugs his brother tighter, understand that pain he feels in his heart, "You won't lose Jimin, okay," He comforts his brother, who's fighting hard to hold back his sobs, "I will protect him. He won't end up like her. She's safe now, being at peace.... You have every right to feel so hurt."

A fragile gasp escapes Jungkook's parted lips and he slowly nods, wiping his teary eyes from the clogging pain of his throat, "I know you will look out for him, I can see it already," He whispers, trying to divert the topic of this and lighten up the draught mood with his own small smug smile, "Maybe catch a little crush?"

Now Yeosang is back to being cold, grimacing with annoyed eyes, "This is why I never comfort people," He huffs and goes back to sitting on the couch with arms crossed, making Jungkook chuckles softly to ease some of the pain of her memory.

He can't face her in his head yet, he still needs more time.

And Yeosang knows this is his way with coping, to brush into a lighter topic.

"You didn't deny it though."

The flushed redness in his cheeks is evidently there on his creamy skin and by now Yeosang is just about ready to murder him, "Do you want to die?"

"No."

"There's your answer."

The two brothers continue to bicker back and forth with each other, not realizing that Jimin has stepped into the bathroom through the midst of their conversation.

And he heard everything.

His heart is pounding hard in his chest now, more so in complete shock to the fact Jungkook had someone that special in his life that reminds him of himself. Everything he does just all makes sense now in Jimin's head.

That's why they're both so over protective.

Jimin could help himself but feel slightly more determined by this new information, to get better and enjoy life one step at a time.

It's not easy. It won't be an easy process getting through the paranoia and the vivid panic episodes, but he will do it.

Just as Jimin needs them, they need Jimin.

And he will stay.
