Taehyung ended up crying long before they reached the rooftop. Jimin hugged the younger trying to console him but there was little he could do without knowing the situation. He made Taehyung sit down once they reached the rooftop and he sat down in front of him. He leaned closer and wiped at Taehyung’s tears shushing him.

“Shh, it’s gonna be alright. Whatever Yoongi did, we’ll get back at him for it.” Jimin assured and Taehyung shook his head.

“I-it was m-my fault!” Taehyung insisted even when Jimin tried to say it wasn’t, and tried to convince the younger that whatever happened, that Yoongi shouldn’t have let his anger get out of hand.

“N-no Jim-Jiminie! I-I-” Taehyung continued to cry harder and all Jimin could do was hug him, rocking him softly as he whispered words of comfort. After a while of crying Taehyung finally calmed down. He wiped away at the last of his tears with his sleeves and sniffed a few more times before just sitting there quietly, head bowed and eyes rimmed with red.

“Tae?” Jimin called out softly as he held the younger's’ hands in his own and rubbed at them soothingly. “Are you ready to talk now?”

“Yea...thanks for bringing me out here,” Taehyung said while nodding a little.

“Of course. You know you don’t need to thank me for something like that.” Jimin replied and Taehyung nodded a bit more.

“So..what happened?” Jimin dared to ask after a few moments of silence.

“It...it was honestly my fault...I didn’t listen when Yoongi hyung told me to stop...I shouldn’t have pushed him..I-I knew he was upset b-but I still d-didn’t stop…” Taehyung began his bottom lip trembling as he did.

“Shh, it’s ok Taehyung. Breath...what were you trying to get him to tell you?” Jimin asked when Taehyung had calmed down a little bit.

“He...he had brui-bruises on h-his stomach...and I w-wanted to k-know h-how he got th-them… bu-but he wo-wouldn’t tell me...and so I k-kept as-asking e-even when he t-told me to s-stop.” Taehyung managed to get out his eyes b with tears once more. Jimin hugged Taehyung again and ran his fingers through the younger’s hair.

“It’s ok Tae-ah...you were just worried about him. There’s nothing wrong with worrying. Hyung probably just needs some time to himself before he talks about it.” Jimin whispered in a calm voice though he was honestly worried about Yoongi now. Why would Yoongi have bruises on his stomach? Was Yoongi in some sort of fight? But why just the stomach? Or maybe they were elsewhere too? After all, he was wearing long sleeves, maybe it wasn’t because it was cold but rather to hide other bruises? How had Taehyung even noticed them? Thoughts like these and many others ran through Jimin’s head as he continued trying to convince Taehyun
