"we're here to report two sexual assaults," yoongi said, taehyung standing beside him.

jungkook and hoseok were both standing behind them, nervously.

the boys had all woken up and immediately headed over to the station. jungkook and hoseok hadn't really even had time to process what they were doing- nervous out of their minds.

"alright. which of you are the... victims?" the man behind the counter asked.

yoongi explained it was hoseok and jungkook, the man, pausing to type some things into his computer.

"alright, boys," the officer said, standing up and walking behind the counter, trying to be overly nice after noticing the looks on both of their faces, knowing how nervous they were, "how about i take you both into one of our comfort suites, yeah? it'll be a bit more comfortable for you both to talk with one of our officers, opposed to our interrogation rooms."

"will we be able to go with them?" yoongi asked, not wanting to leave hoseok- or jungkook alone.

"are you immediate family?"

"well... no, but-"

"i'm very sorry to the both of you, but only immediate family can come in with the guests. just so we can keep our stories straight and ask all our questions without anyone else there to have them feel pressured or nervous. they'll be just fine though, don't worry," the man said, smiling.

"will i be able to talk with hoseok? like... in the same room?" jungkook asked, looking up at the man, with tears in his eyes.

"we try to keep victims separate- just to ensure that the stories are authentic. it's just protocol. i'm... i'm very sorry," he said, feeling awful for the nearly crying boy.

"o-okay," he said, trying to calm down.

tae walked over and hugged him tightly, not being able to bear the small boy that was nearly having a panic attack, because he was so scared.

"it's gonna be okay," tae whispered into his ear, rubbing his back lightly, "after this... no one can hurt you anymore."

after a few minutes of listening to the comforting words, jungkook was ready.

yoongi glanced over to hoseok, asking with his eyes if hoseok was okay to go through with this.

hoseok was a bit nervous, but he was ready. he wanted the man to go to jail and pay for everything he did.

"i'll be fine," hoseok said, just to reassure him.

the boys said their goodbyes and the man took them back to get their initial account of what happened to the both of them.

-

"how do you think it's going?" yoongi asked, tapping his foot.

"i'm sure it's going fine. it's been over an hour so they should probably be out any-" tae cut himself off when he saw hoseok and jungkook walking over to them, two officers behind them.

"hey," yoongi said, standing up quickly.

he put his hand out to the men and they both shook it, harshly, tae following.

"i'm officer lee and this is officer gwan. i will be the dictated officer of jeon jungkook, and my buddy here will be the officer for hoseok. we are here to help with their cases and bring justice. also keep them informed with the case as it progresses and answer any questions they may have now or along the way."

"oh... alright," yoongi said, "so what happens next?"

"well... we've already assigned an oic officer to the case. he's going to start looking into it now and collect some evidence. once that happens, we'll file for an arrest as soon as possible."

"so what should we do until he's arrested?" hoseok asked.

"i'd say it would be best to just stay home for a while- stay safe. we'll have officers coming to patrol your house every few hours as well, just to make sure you're all okay."

"alright, well i hope we hear from you soon, then. thank you," hoseok said, bowing slightly.

all the other boys thanked the officers as well and headed off.

-

the four boys arrived back at yoongi and tae's, surprised to see namjoon and jin waiting outside the apartment door.

"guys? what are you doing here?" tae asked.

"oh my god! hoseok! are you okay? how did it go?" namjoon asked, running over and giving him a big hug.

hoseok hugged him back, smiling.

"it went good. they're investigating the case now and then they're gonna try and make an arrest soon."

"shit- that's amazing. how are you doing, jungkook?" joon asked, glancing over to him.

"i'm good, too. a little shocked, but i'm happy."

"good."

after jin said hello to yoongi and taehyung, he walked over to namjoon- who was still busy talking to hoseok and jungkook.

"hey, guys" jin said, frown on his face, "namjoon told me roughly what's going on. i just wanted to say i'm so sorry. that's so awful- what he did. he deserves to rot in hell- that filthy bastard," seokjin said.

"thanks," hoseok said, smiling and laughing slightly at seokjin's outraged face.

"yeah, thank you," jungkook said.

the boys eventually started feeling weird standing out in the hallway talking and decided to head into yoongi's place.

"do you guys want some snacks or something?" tae asked.

all the boys were positioned around the kitchen counter. yoongi was standing beside hoseok, taehyung was standing next to jungkook- rubbing a hand over his back to comfort him, and namjoon was next to seokjin.

"sure," jin said, quickly.

there was a pause and everyone was silent, until they all bursted out into laughter at how fast seokjin had said yes.

"shit," namjoon said, big smile on his face, still coming down from his laughing fit.

hoseok watched as namjoon's hand left the counter and wrapped around seokjin's waist, squeezing him lightly, and pulling him in closer.

it was very subtle, but hoseok still caught it.

it made him wonder what was going on between seokjin and namjoon. were they friends? friends with benefits? were they dating and not telling anyone? hoseok was dying to know. he didn't want a rush namjoon, though, because he knew being with a guy was a new thing for him and he obviously wasn't comfortable sharing anything yet.

by the time hoseok was broken away from his thoughts, he saw a few bowls of chips laid out in front of him and a tray with various fruits.

then, he felt a hand on his upper back and a whisper in his ear.

"you should eat something. i know you must be hungry."

it was yoongi.

yoongi.

hoseok had been so focused on the assaults and everything that was going on, he hadn't even had time to think about the fact that he was with yoongi.

the guy that he met at a hair salon and heavily embarrassed himself in front of. the guy that he fanboyed over whenever he got texts from him. the guy who had sent a flower to his work with a cute little note attached that made his heart flutter. the guy who simply wouldn't let him go, no matter how hard hoseok tried to push him away.

the guy that he has a crush on.

after dazing out for another minute, hoseok just looked over at him, smiling.

yoongi was beautiful. kind. funny. perfect. everything he had ever wanted in a guy- that was yoongi.

but was he even ready for that? where did he want to go with it? does he want to date him?

hoseok felt like he knew the answer, but he was scared and unsure. this was all new territory to him.

he broke his eyes away from yoongi and faced the food in front of him.

"okay... i'll eat."

hoseok grabbed a paper plate and filled it with chips, ready to drown all his emotions in food.

"sorry to bring this up again, but i realized that i never really asked you guys..," namjoon said, "what was the guys name?"

all the other boys immediately looked intrigued as well, realizing none of them really knew his name, except for hoseok and jungkook- of course.

hoseok felt his heart rate pick up at just the thought of him. just the mere mention of the man gave him anxiety.

"his name is..,"

"jimin. park jimin."
