"has he touched you before this?" yoongi asked, grabbing hoseok by the shoulders and looking him right in the eyes.

the three boys had walked through the whole parking lot and finally made it to yoongi's car.

"yoongi, i-"

"hoseok, has he ever touched you?" yoongi asked, more firmly.

hoseok just glanced up at him, with tears still in his eyes, nodding softly.

yoongi just looked at him and watched as tears streamed down his cheeks, like he was finally getting it off his chest.

yoongi couldn't believe it.

"hey, don't cry. we're gonna deal with this, alright? everything's gonna be okay," he said, tearing up a bit himself after seeing how broken hoseok looked, but trying to stay strong for him.

hoseok nodded and yoongi quickly headed to open the passenger side door for him.

hobi got in and yoongi and jungkook were the only ones remaining outside of the car.

"you, too?" yoongi asked, silently praying that the boy would say no.

jungkook paused for a moment, then nodded, strangely feeling like he could trust yoongi.

-

"tae?" yoongi shouted, walking into his house with the two boys.

"yeah?" tae shouted back, walking out from the kitchen.

"we have guests," he said, glaring at tae, who was wearing nothing but his pokémon boxers.

"shit- sorry."

the boy would usually be joking around and more bubbly, but he could see the tears in the three boys eyes and the sad looks on all of their faces. he saw yoongi, and he recognized hoseok as well, but standing beside them was a small, cute boy with brown hair that he had never seen before. he honestly looked broken and it hurt taehyung's heart for some reason.

"are you guys alright?" tae asked.

"honestly? no, not really," yoongi said.

"what happened?"

yoongi glanced over to the other two boys, wondering how they would feel about someone else knowing.

"tell him," jungkook said, looking up, "we have to tell people at some point or nothings ever going to change."

hoseok just nodded in response, proud of jungkook for being so strong.

"alright. let's all get comfortable."

-

after tae ran off to change, hoseok texted namjoon and told him to come over, finally feeling ready to talk about it and not wanting to have to do it twice.

once namjoon arrived and they all got their introductions, all of the boys settled themselves on the couch, with blankets and snacks, trying to lighten the mood and calm down a bit.

tae ran back into the room after changing and settled onto the couch with the rest of the boys

"alright," hoseok said, "jungkook, do you want to talk first? you've been dealing with this a lot longer than me."

"i-i guess so."

jungkook had already gotten a lot of his emotions out when he had told hoseok for the first time, so it was a little easier for him to talk about it now.

"well, it all started when i got a job at the restaurant-"

jungkook went on to tell the full story- in detail. he had even mentioned some things that hoseok didn't know about. hoseok told what happened to him as well, not holding back. the conversation was filled with lots of shocked gasps and tears- taehyung's face completely wet by the time jungkook finished the story- not even sure why he was so affected by it, considering he didn't even know the boy.

it was just a lot.

and if it was hard for all of them to hear, they couldn't imagine how hard it must have been for jungkook to go through- hoseok, too.

"you guys, that's-" tae started, not even sure what to say, "i-i'm so sorry," he said, letting the last of the tears he had in him fall.

"hoseok, that was going on the whole time?" namjoon asked, obviously shocked, "i-i'm so sorry. i should've known. i'm-"

"stop. it's not your fault."

"shit, you guys. what are we gonna do?" tae asked, wiping his face off.

"we're gonna turn his ass in. take him to court," yoongi said, running his hand over hoseok's back, soothingly.

"turn him in? court?" jungkook asked, nervously.

"i mean... it's your guys' decision at the end of the day, but i think to take that guy down we need law enforcement," yoongi said, with a sigh, "or we could just kill him."

all the boys were silent for a moment, like they were actually considering it, then immediately broke out in laughter.

"shit- honestly i wish we could," yoongi said, still laughing slightly, with a sigh.

"so... how do we go about this? it's not like we have any evidence," hoseok said, stressed look on his face.

"well... we're just going to have to hope they take our word. i mean... i'm a witness and you and jungkook can both testify," yoongi said.

"wait... i...i have to tell everyone what happened?" jungkook asked, clearly scared.

"you don't have to, kook, but it would help us. and... and it would stop this from ever happening again... to anyone," hoseok said.

jungkook just sat for a moment, thinking over what hoseok said.

"i-i want to do it. i want to help," jungkook said, smiling slightly.

"awesome. i'll take you both to the police station tomorrow," yoongi said.

there was a moment of silence, hoseok and jungkook letting what was going to happen sink in.

namjoon quickly spoke up.

"shit. i forgot i was going to hang out with jin tonight. i'm just gonna call him real quick and canc-"

"no! don't. you can go. i'll be okay," hoseok said.

"i'm not leaving you home alone all night after what you just told me. i don't want you alone at all anymore."

"he can stay here tonight, namjoon. i'll take care of him. jungkook can stay, too."

"no, no, i should stay with him," namjoon said.

"joonie, it's okay. really. i'll be fine here."

"are... are you sure?"

"really. you should go have fun. i'm... i'm happy here," hoseok said, reaching his hand out and touching yoongi's knee, feeling yoongi's hand still rubbing over his back, trying to calm him.

"o-okay. i'll have my phone on me, so just call me if you need anything, okay? i can be back here in five minutes. don't hesitate," namjoon said, walking over and petting hoseok's cheek.

usually he would never leave hoseok after what he had just told him, but he knew that hoseok wanted to stay with yoongi. he felt safe with him.

"love you, hobi. you guys have fun," joon said, waving at the four boys and heading out.

-

the boys had spent the rest of the night watching movies and laughing together, trying to distract themselves. hoseok was laying on yoongi's lap and jungkook was sitting next to tae, not touching him.

yoongi could see hoseok struggling to keep his eyes open and tae noticed that jungkook was drifting in and out of consciousness.

"i think we should all get to bed," yoongi said, petting hoseok's head, causing him to shiver.

yoongi laughed slightly, quickly pulling his hand away from his head and running his hand over his cheek instead

"yeah," tae said, laughing, lightly tapping jungkook to wake him up.

jungkook blinked his eyes open, rubbing them and yawning.

"you ready for bed?" tae asked, smiling at him.

jungkook smiled back, nodding

"okay... well we don't really have any guest rooms or anything, but you both can share our beds," tae said.

yoongi looked over at tae, eyes going wide.

"share our beds?" yoongi asked, slightly shocked at tae bringing up the idea.

hoseok and jungkook seemed unfazed, balancing somewhere between being awake and asleep. yoongi decided to calm down, figuring he was making a big deal out of nothing.

"alright, that's fine... as long as you guys don't mind," yoongi said.

jungkook just nodded and yawned, grabbing onto tae's arm.

"should i go with you?" jungkook asked, rubbing his eyes again.

tae stopped, overwhelmed by the boys cuteness. over the few hours that they had hung out, the boys had formed some sort of connection. they felt like they had known each other for a long time- even though they had just met.

"yeah... yeah, sure."

yoongi just looked over to hoseok, with a little anxiety.

"so... you want to sleep in my room, then?" he asked, nervously.

"yeah... sure."

all four of the boys stood up, yoongi not forgetting to power off the tv and hit the lights.

tae felt jungkook latch onto his hand, causing him to jump slightly. tae looked over and saw jungkook struggling to keep his eyes open, most likely just trying to keep his balance.

taehyung just assumed that jungkook searched for affection when he was tired. he thought it was adorable.

"night guys," yoongi said, to tae and jungkook as they headed into different rooms.

"night, you two."
