Jungkook went into the house, calling out for Jimin when he realized that the house was empty. He frowned as he quickly went upstairs, and knocked on Jimin's room.

"Hyung, are you in?" He asked, but only silence greeted him. Being impatient, he opened the door, only to see that the room was empty, and Jimin's uniform wasn't hanging there. Jungkook snapped his finger. This means that Jimin did not came back home as he thought. Jungkook frowned, thinking where Jimin could be. Could he went to the beach alone? But that would be dangerous.

Jungkook ran downstairs, and went out to the porch to see his driver was washing some dirt of the car.

"Hyung! Did you pick Jimin up from school just now?" Jungkook asked, sounding a little too desperate.

"Nope. He doesn't even text me to pick him up. I thought he was supposed to be with you." The driver said, as he continue to wash the car.

"Well, I told him to come back home first because I...have some errands to do." Jungkook said, looking down as he pulled his phone off his pocket and called Jimin. He just wanted to make sure Jimin was safe, because as far as he know, Jimin didn't even know how to take a bus. When his calls was not picked up, he texted Jimin.

"To: Jiminnie.
Hyung, where are you?
Why aren't you home yet?
Why didn't you pick up my calls?"

Jungkook went into the house, and he sat on the couch, groaning in frustration. Jimin rarely got angry, but making Jimin angry is the last thing he wished to do. He cringed inside when he think of how foolish he was to forget the promise he made with Jimin. He tapped his feet on the floor - a gesture he do when he was too overwhelmed, in this case worries. He was afraid if Jimin decided to go to the beach alone. He knew how reckless the elder can be sometimes. He still remember there was a time Jimin ran away from the house when he was 14, just because Jungkook refused to go to the mall with him on his birthday.

Jungkook grunted again, waiting silently any text to came through, until finally he fell asleep. He only opened his eyes when he heard the door closed, before he fumbled with his phone, checking the time, before he noticed the message.

"From: Jimminie
I'm at the basketball court.
I was playing.
Sorry. I'll come back home now."

Jungkook sighed in relief, before Jimin's face peeked through the hallway.

"You waited for me? Sorry." Jimin said, before he went into the living room, and took his bag off, before plopping beside Jungkook.

"Eww...Hyung! Have you just come back? You reeked of sweat! Go and shower!" Jungkook exclaimed, making a gesture of pinching his nose and shoved Jimin away a little. Jimin just giggled silently, before he nodded.

"Okay okay, I will. See you later. Anyway, mom said we are going out tonight. Dad is going to take us to the famous steakhouse." Jimin said, smiling a little before he took his bag, swung in onto his shoulder and went off upstairs, leaving Jungkook alone, sighing in relief when he saw Jimin's good mood. But still, he felt a little guilty when he remembered about his broken promises. He quickly went up, and stormed into Jimin's room, only to find Jimin was in the shower. He sat on the bed, waiting for Jimin to come out when he felt a soft vibration, and Jimin's phone lit up a little. Jungkook took the phone, and opened it before he met the lock screen. A ing lock screen. Jimin never put a lock on his phone, but now he did. Jungkook tried to opened it, but he failed. Apparently, there was a message from someone, but he can only read half of it.

"From: The Beast
Hey. Thanks for the evening. It was fun. You were great in...."

That was as far as he can see, and that had made him curious more than ever. He heard the click of the shower lock, and he threw the phone away and tried to calm himself down as the phone landed softly on the far edge of the bed.

"Oh. Jungkook, what are you doing here?" Jimin asked, looking at Jungkook a little bit surprised when he saw Jungkook in his room. Luckily Jimin had wore his boxer in the bathroom earlier. He wiped the water that trailed down his body, before he proceed to dry his hair with the towel. He walked to the cupboard, before he took out a nice black sleeveless and a pair of blue skinny jeans, before he quickly wore it. Jungkook had took his time to calm down, all the time looking at Jimin with narrow eyes.

"Jungkook, why aren't you getting ready for the outing tonight?" Jimin asked, making Jungkook flinched. The message on Jimin's phone made Jungkook forget about the outing, and about the question he wanted to ask Jimin before. He just shrugged his shoulder, before he silently get off the bed and get out of the room, making Jimin frowned at Jungkook's weird antics.

Jimin then took his phone, and smiled when he saw the message.

"From: The Beast
Hey. Thanks for the evening. It was fun. You were great in the court, and it amazed me.
Anyway, Don't forget our date to the therapies tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 10.
See you tomorrow. ^^"

Jimin smiled even wider. His Saturday now is filled with therapies on letting his vocal cords loose in order to get them to work again. In other words, to get Jimin talking again. Jimin had tried it before, but it doesn't work. But somehow, Yoongi had given him hope again. And he didn't know why, but this time, he really think that the therapies will work. At least he hoped it will work.

**********

Tomorrow came pretty quick, as Jimin woke up in excitement and rushed to the take his morning shower as usual. He couldn't help but smiling. This is the first time that Jimin felt really looking forward to go to a therapy. Finishing his shower, he get dressed in his usual black skinny and white sleeveless, before he grabbed a black snapback and his handphone, ready to head downstairs.

He could hear the sizzling of oil coming from the kitchen when he arrived downstairs, and the smell of omelet came invading his nostril, making his stomach churning in hunger. He went to the kitchen quickly, just in time to see Mrs. Jeon was putting the omelet on the dining table. He smiled and greeted Mrs. Jeon politely, before he took a box of milk out from the refrigerator and brought the milk to the table, and sat down in front of Mrs. Jeon. Mr. Jeon came in, and sat beside Mrs. Jeon, smiling widely.

"Good morning Jimin. Any plans for today?" Mr. Jeon beamed cheerfully, to which Jimin nodded.

"I'm going out with friend, Dad." Jimin signaled, to which making Mrs. Jeon smiled in delight.

"Is it Yoongi, Jimin?" Mrs. Jeon chirped, a little too excited as she looked at Jimin with her soft hazel eyes. Jimin can feel his cheeks becomes hotter, as he nodded slightly before he looked down on the plate, and quickly took a bite, before he noticed the empty seat beside him.

"Mom, where is Jungkook?" Jimin asked.

"He had gone out. Saying that he had to meet his friends. At first I thought you are going with him, but I guess both of you now have your own plans. It's good to see both of you living your life well." Mrs. Jeon said, before she continued, "Jimin, thank you for being such a good brother for Jungkook, and a good son for us."

The words that Mrs. Jeon uttered made Jimin's eyes started to get teary. He was touched by the kindness that this family had shown to him. He nodded, before he smiled widely.

"And thank you for being a good parents to me. I love you, Dad, Mom." Jimin said, before he drink the milk and stood up, signaling that he should go, before he left the dining room and went straight outside.

He stood on the front of his house, waiting for quite sometimes before a car pulled over the driveway, and Yoongi's deep voice greeted him.

"Morning, Jiminnie." Yoongi said, as Jimin rushed towards the car and get inside.

"Morning, Yoongi hyung." Jimin signaled, making Yoongi smiled wider.

"Ready for the therapy?" He asked, to which Jimin nodded excitedly. Yoongi gave Jimin an encouraging pat on his shoulder, before he slowly drive to the hospitals.

**********

Yoongi bite the brownies softly, and crooned at the sweet chocolate taste that melts in his mouth. He eyed the smiling Jimin beside him, who silently ate the strawberry yogurt cake. They had just finished the therapy session, and Jimin had progressed quite far for a first timer. According to Jimin, he had been to these kinds of therapies years ago, but he had shown no signs of healing. But just now, Jimin can already let out a low raspy growl, as well as a soft giggle, though it is nothing like a giggle at first. Whatever it is, Yoongi is sure that Jimin will heal one day if Jimin continue to go to the therapies.

"Yoongi hyung. What were you thinking?" Jimin signaled, after he nudged the other out from his daydream. Yoongi looked at Jimin in confusion, before he realized he'd been spacing out.

"Oh, just thinking about something. Sorry." Yoongi said, as he rubbed his nape awkwardly, trying not to be embarrassed.

"Oh well, okay. Anyway, you got a little cream on your lips." Jimin said, and he pointed on the sides of the his lips as a gesture to tell Yoongi where the cream were. Yoongi wiped his lips with he tissue provided, before he smirked deviously.

"Oh, you got a little something too on your lips." Yoongi said, before he gestured to his lips. Jimin wiped his lips with the tissue, but Yoongi kept on insisting that it is still there.

"Here, let me help you." Yoongi said, as he leans closer towards Jimin. Jimin didn't have time to react but to close his eyes. His heart was pounding very fast, as he thought he was going to be kissed by Yoongi. However, instead of a soft lips, he was greeted by a soft chuckles.

"It's gone. Open your eyes." Yoongi said as he smirked in satisfaction.

"What were you thinking when you closed your eyes just now?" Yoongi asked, pretending to be oblivious to the reason while Jimin's face flushed redder. Jimin just smacked the other's arms. Yoongi let out a fake cry as he tried to whine, but he was stopped by Jimin's pointing fingers.

"Don't you dare to whine!" Jimin warned as he gave the other another smack on the other's arms. Yoongi just pouted, before he took another bite from his cake, still pouting, making Jimin giggled a little.

Jimin took a sip from the drinks he ordered, and finished his last bite of the blueberry ice cream cake.

"Hyung! Thank you for the treats!" Jimin said, giving Yoongi the widest smile Yoongi had ever seen coming from Jimin. Though he was still pouting, he couldn't help but to smile as he leans forward and ruffles the other's hair.

"Okay sugar. It's getting late. We should go home now, or else your mom will be worried." Yoongi remarked, standing up from the seat before he went to the cashier and pay for the food.

Jimin followed suit, standing up and went to the door, waiting patiently for Yoongi to finish paying the food before they both went out from the cafe together and headed straight towards Yoongi's car. They slid into the car, ready to get home when Yoongi suddenly clapped his hands.

"Oh my God! I forgot that I have to buy something for Myn Noona. She asked me to go to the mart and bought some brown sugar and apple cider for cooking. Can we go to the mart first?" Yoongi asked, to which Jimin nodded before he started the engine and drove off.

Silence started to take over as Yoongi focused on the driving, while Jimin was on the verge of sleeping. He was tired from the therapy session, no doubt. Yoongi who managed to stole a glance towards Jimin just let Jimin sleep, as he slowed down his driving, as he himself was a little bit tired as well.

He was focused on the road when suddenly a vehicle crossed his path. Luckily Yoongi had reacted in time to avoid any collision with the said car. However, the impact of the sudden brake made Yoongi's car jolted forward, waking Jimin up from his sleep. Yoongi's car had halted to a still now. The vehicle that caused the trouble seemed to be doing it again, trying to cut between two car, before the car suddenly skidded off the lane, and crashed with another car that came from the opposite direction. Jimin watched the scene before him with wide eyes as the two cars collided, making a loud crashing sound that echoed through the air. Both of the car was dragged forward by the remaining force, and finally screeched before both of them hit the side of the road. Both of the car was on fire, and Jimin could clearly saw one of the passenger was thrown out from the car, and landed a few metres away from the car.

Apparently, all the other people inside the car had been unconscious, and the car around them had stopped, and people had rushed to help. Yoongi was about to open his door to help when his hand was pulled. He turned around, looking at a very shocked and trembling Jimin on the passenger side. Jimin can hardly breathe when the sight of blood gushing through from the man that was lying on the road hits him. The man had lost his arms, and blood was gushing through a few places, including his stomach and forehead. Jimin looked at the blood, before he let out a small whimper.

"Yoongi, don't leave me." Jimin signaled, his movement fast and erratic as panic rose in him. He clutched onto Yoongi's hand tighter, before he started to let out an irregular screams as he closed his eyes. Yoongi started to get panic as well when he saw Jimin in this state. Luckily, Yoongi's mind seemed to function well, telling Yoongi to start the car and drive away, to which Yoongi did. He could feel his heart pounding faster as fear crept into his heart. He had never seeing Jimin like this.

He pressed the pedal faster, and just let Jimin to hold his wrist even though it gave him a little difficulty in driving.

"Jimin, calm down." He said when he heard Jimin's breathing started to become faster and faster, and Jimin let out a scream that goes higher in pitch each seconds passed. He glanced at Jimin as he tried to calm down, hoping that he arrived Jimin's house faster. He could see Jimin's face was getting paler, as Jimin started to gasped for air as he held his throat and gagged, acting as if somebody had strangled him.

Yoongi quickly pulled over to the side of the road as soon as he arrived at Jimin's house, before he pried Jimin's tight grip on his arm. By now, Jimin had already wailing, as he continue to alternate between sobs, whimpers and gagging sound. Yoongi got out of the car, and yelled for help as he rushed to the passenger side and opened the door quickly.

He carried Jimin bridal style as Jimin clutched to Yoongi's shirt tightly, and he burrows his face into Yoongi's chest. Yoongi could feel his shirt getting wetter by Jimin's tears. He could feel Jimin's body temperature rose, and Jimin had sweated a lot, until the sleeveless Jimin wore was wet with his own sweat. By this time, Mr. and Mrs. Jeon had come out of the house with worried looks on their face.

"Oh my god! Jimin! Please bring him in!" Mrs. Jeon shouted, and helped to guide Yoongi in while Mr. Jeon kept the door opened for them. Yoongi put Jimin on the couch in the living room as instructed by Mrs. Jeon. Jimin had gone from crying to hysteric state now, letting out a high pitch growls and wails as he struggled. Mr. Jeon pinned Jimin's hand down to the chair, while Mrs. Jeon tried to calm Jimin down.

Few seconds later, Yoongi heard Jungkook's voice booming through the house.

"Hyung! What happen?" He rushed towards Jimin, before he looked at Yoongi, his eyes narrowed. Yoongi was about to explain what had happened, but he didn't have the chance too as a punch was delivered straight to his left jaw, making his vision blurred for a moment.

"What the did YOU DO TO JIMIN?" Jungkook yelled, and he rushed towards Yoongi to gave him another punch before he was stopped by Mr. Jeon, who had lifted Jungkook up.

"Jeon Jungkook. Stop the violence this instance!" Mr. Jeon shouted, making Jungkook flinched in his Dad's hold.

"But Dad, this er-"

"This er is going straight up to his respectable room. And bring Jimin along." Mr. Jeon said towards Jungkook sternly, making Jungkook whimpered. Meanwhile, Jimin had stopped crying, and he was being comforted by Mrs. Jeon.

"But Dad-"

"Jeon Jungkook, do as I say. Bring your brother up, and I shall meet both of you soon. And mind your language, young man!" Mr. Jeon said, this time his voice firm and has a full authority in it. Jungkook sighed in defeated, as he clenched his teeth and looked at Yoongi with pure hatred, before he grunted and turned around, moving towards Jimin.

"Let's go up, hyung. It's okay, I'm here." Jungkook said, as he slung Jimin's arm on his shoulder and helped Jimin to walk out the living room along with Mrs. Jeon.

Yoongi could feel the salty taste of blood in his mouth, before Mr. Jeon looked at Yoongi apologetically and gestured Yoongi to go to the kitchen.

"You got some blood on your lips." Mr. Jeon said, before he led Yoongi to the kitchen.

"Sorry about Jungkook's behaviour. He's just too protective of his brother." Mr. Jeon said as he took the medical kit out from the cupboard while Yoongi proceed to the kitchen to wash his mouth.

"It's okay. I totally understand." Yoongi said, smiling softly as he sat on the nearest chair, before Mrs. Jeon came in, looking at Yoongi with a worried eyes.

"Are you okay, son? Oh, it's bruised already." Mrs. Jeon squeaked, before she rushed to the refrigerator, and brought out some ice, putting them into a handkerchief she took in another cupboard and handed it towards Yoongi.

"Thank you." Yoongi said as he took the handkerchief, before Mr. Jeon handed him some sort of antiseptic cream.

"Put it on the wound."m He instructed, to which Yoongi nodded.

"How's Jimin?" Yoongi asked.

"He's fine. Jungkook is with him. don't worry. Tell us dear, what had happen?" Mrs. Jeon asked, her eyes softened.

Yoongi just looked at both of the person in front of him, before he took a deep breath as he started to tell them about the  accident, and Jimin's reaction after that. Both of them listened attentively, and as soon as he finished telling the story, Mr. Jeon nodded.

"No wonder he became like this..." He trailed off, leaving Yoongi hanging with curiousity.

"Why..did he become like this?"
