As promised, there are no locked doors on their way up to the penthouse.

'They're keeping the penthouse locked. I guess they didn't want Jin hyung leaving'
Taehyung tells them over the phone, which Jimin is keeping on speaker phone

'But which lock can stand in my way?'
They hear Taehyung cackling

'Gotcha! It's open, guys'

'Awesome work, Tae'
Namjoon tells him.

The double doors of the penthouse loom before them.

Jungkook does not pause. He strides over and kicks the doors open.

The room is empty.

Jungkook stares, brain scrambling to find an explanation.

Then the balcony door opens and Jin walks in. He freezes at the threshold and stares wide eyed at them all. There is a bruise at the corner of Jin's mouth. Jungkook wants to kill something.

'Jungkook?'
Jin wonders

'What are you-'
Jin looks over them all

'What are you doing?'

'Saving you'
Jungkook answers, stepping forward

Two black clad guards materialise from within the penthouse. They converge on them, guns out of their holsters. Instead of stepping back, Jungkook steps forward. These bastards have been keeping Jin locked in here.

'Stop'
Jin orders. The guards pause

'Sir, your father ordered you to remain here'

Jin looks at the guard, then over at Jungkook.

'He did'
Jin lifts a hand and fleetingly touches the bruise on his face. He looks over at the table and Jungkook follows his gaze. There is a file there.

'He told you to keep me here until I made a decision'

Jin walks over to the table and draws out a piece of paper from the file. He looks down at the words printed on it.

He looks up at Jungkook.

'Do what I want anyway?'

Jungkook smiles at him.

'Do what you want anyway, hyung'

Jin smiles. Jungkook doesn't miss the tears shining in his eyes.

Jin rips the paper in to shreds. White pieces float down and settle on the carpeted floor.

Jin remains silent for a moment before he draws himself up. He looks at the guards.

'I made my decision. I will leave now. Give my regards to my father'

Jin walks towards him and Jungkook cannot resist running to him. He throws his arms around Jin as Seokjin picks up Jungkook, Jungkook's legs wrapped around Seokjin's waist constantly spinning Jungkook around.

Jin laughs joyously

Jungkook has never seen a sight more beautiful.
'Seokjin'

The smile disappears from Jin's face in a beat, eyes fixed on something behind him. Seokjin sets Jungkook down. He knows who it must be. He watches Jin swallow, feels the tension in his body.

'Hyung'

Jin's eyes flicker to him.

Jungkook clasps their hands together.

Jin's lips quirk up into a tiny smile.

Jungkook turns to stand by Jin. The others cluster around them protectively.

The man stands beyond them. It is undeniable, the similarity between father and son. The same devastating bone structure and build. The same dark hair.

The same easy manner. Jungkook lets his eyes run down to the man's right hand. A large ring on the index finger. The one that had broken Jin's skin.

'I did as you asked, father'
Jin says, voice tight

'I made a decision'

The man's eyes glance back where Jin had ripped apart the contract, then over to them. Namjoon raises a hand in a cheerful greeting while the others stay silent. Jungkook lifts his chin when those dark eyes settle on him.

'You want to give up your inheritance for this?'

This.

There is no venom in the word. Simple disbelief.

'Yes'
Jin whispers.

'Seokjin, I know you're throwing this tantrum because I told you I'd take away your toys. I never said you couldn't have your playthings. Only that you don't disgrace the family, that you keep your unsavoury habits out of sight'

In his peripheral vision, Jungkook sees Yoongi flinch. But Jin is staring at his father, eyes wide in a pale face.

'Stop it!'
Jungkook snaps. He senses Jin startle beside him

'Don't talk like you know you son! If you knew a thing about him at all, you'd know how he feels about us. He's not you and he'll never be like you either!'

Instead of getting upset, Jin's father smiles.

'How he feels about you? Boy, do you have any idea what my son will inherit? How much power he will have? Do you really think he would ever truly choose you and give up everything?'

Just then Taehyung comes bounding down the corridor.

'HYUNG! Are you-'
Taehyung freezes, eyes darting between Jin and his father

'Um..Sorry, hyung'
Taehyung scratches his head

Jin laughs, startling everyone.

'I already have everything'
Jin smiles at him and at the others.

Jin looks at his father
'Not everything you want for me but everything I want for myself. It doesn't mean I'm not your son. It doesn't mean that I'm giving up my family. It just means I want to be my own person'

'Don't fool yourself, Seokjin. You do this, you will never be welcome home'

Jin flinches.

'Father, please'

'Grow up, Seokjin. There are consequences for everything. Every decision you make has repercussions. You think I will bend to your tantrums? You are my son. If you disobey me now, then you are nothing to me'

Jin is shaking. All that confidence from before leached away by his father's callous words.

'Ah fuck this!'
Yoongi snaps, startling everyone

'You think you can throw your son away so easily? Then do it! All he's ever done was to follow you. Even when you were an asshole, he defended you. He's so much better than you deserve, you selfish bastard. He doesn't need you, he's got us! We'll love him so much better than you ever did. We'll be his family. We'll be his home. Jin hyung-'
Yoongi looks at Jin who is gaping at him

Yoongi tilts his head towards the door
' Hyung, let's go home'

Jungkook is close enough to see the tears shining in Jin's eyes.

'We're yours, hyung'
Namjoon says quietly

'No matter what'

Jin sniffs.

Jungkook tightens his fingers around Jin's.

'We'll open our own doors, Jinnie'

Jin smiles at him.

Jungkook smiles back.

'Let's go'
.
.

Both Seokjin and Jungkook were now at Seokjin's place with Seokjin placing kisses on Jungkook's neck and all over his face making Jungkook giggle

'Hyung!'
Jungkook exclaimed

'Yes my lovely darling munchkin?'
Seokjin said teasingly

'Okay first never call me that and second I love you'
Jungkook said cupping Seokjin's cheeks

But what happened next left Jungkook suprised, Seokjin pinned Jungkook on the nearby wall as grabbed Jungkook's hands and locked it on top of Jungkook's head getting close to his ear

'Oh I know you love me, I love you too but it's time I rather show it physically'
Seokjin said as he picked up Jungkook and ran on his top speed towards the bed making Jungkook laugh.

Don't let any of your family members bent you to their own terms, be your own self, have confidence in within, confidence is the key to many doors that bring happiness, please don't suppress your dreams or your happiness just because someone expects that certain thing from you, you'll never be happy in the path that you don't choose for your own self❤️

-End-

A/N- I'm so proud of all 6 of them to defend and stand with Seokjin in his difficult times, sometimes your real family gives you pain like hell, but the friends that stand besides you in your difficult times are your real family.
