Cat Problems || Taegi

T H I R T Y S E V E N

Yoongi woke up to the sound of crying. He ran towards one of the rooms where the toddlers were.

"D-daddy..."
Minha cried. Yoongi ran to her and sat on the bed. Yoongi then lifts her up and lays her on his lap. Her tail hanged from her lower back to Yoongi's knees.

"W-where's daddy...?"
Minha sobbed in Yoongi's embrace. Yoongi froze.

"Daddy's here. What are you talking about?"
Yoongi looked at Minha.

"I-I w-want d-daddy!"
Minha sobbed even more. Yoongi wiped the tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Minha. Daddy hasn't come back home yet."
Yoongi kept her close, he tightened his embrace on his sobbing daughter.

"W-when is d-daddy coming b-back?"
Minha asked, looking up at Yoongi.

"Daddy doesn't know. But he knows that daddy will come back. He knows."
Yoongi wiped away her tears with his sweater paws once again. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and before he knew it, she fell asleep.

Yoongi tucked her back in the bed and walked out the room, now closing the door midway.

"Right...?"
Yoongi silently closed the door and sat on the couch.

"Right."
A voice called out. Yoongi slightly smiled.

"You're here."
Yoongi wiped his tears away.

"I still am."
The voice chuckled. Oh how Yoongi missed that voice of his.

"Don't worry, I'm coming back. I promise."
After a while, Yoongi's lips fell from the silence.

"I hope so."
Yoongi hugged his knees and began crying himself to sleep.

------------------------------------------------------

"Yoongi..."
J-hope engulfed him in a tight hug. The younger sobbed in his embrace.

"I m-miss h-him hyung..."
Yoongi sobbed.

"Shhh I know. We all know, and we all do. He'll come back-"

"WHAT IF HE DOESN'T!? WHAT IF THIS WAS ALL JUST A WASTE!? WHAT IF WE WAITED FOR HIM FOR YEARS ONLY TO END UP WITH THE NEWS SAYING HE DIED!?"
Yoongi yelled. He wanted to push J-hope away, but his body did otherwise. The others jumped.

"Yoongi..."

"WHAT IF HE ENDS UP IN AN ACCIDENT!? I ONLY GET TO SEE HIM IN MAGAZINES! HE WON'T EVEN RESPOND TO ME! What if..."
Yoongi raised his voice up again. J-Hope obviously jumped once again, but he managed to stay still afterwards so he could give comfort to the younger.

"Yoongi. Look at me."
J-Hope ordered.

It's not him

Yoongi disobeyed.

"Look at me."
J-Hope sighed.

"What if he has a girlfriend..."
Yoongi clenched on J-Hope's shirt, unintentionally making slightly visible scratch marks on his skin until J-Hope jumped away from him on instinct.

"Wait..."
Jimin sniffed the area. He ripped off J-Hope's shirt.

"H-Hobi hyung...?"
Jimin looked at J-Hope in horror. Aswell as Jungkook and Yoongi.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry..."
Yoongi hugged his knees and tugged strongly on his hair. He muttered the exact same words over and over again as his body trembled visibly.

"Y-Yoongi it's okay..."
Jungkook walked over to Yoongi. Only to slightly get scratched on his bicep.

Yoongi was terrified. He looked at his shaking hands and looked back at Jungkook with eyes of terror.

"I-I'm s-sorry"
Yoongi sobbed worse than before. He looked at his claws which now has even more blood before pulling on his hair, muttering the same words over and over again.

"Yoongi..."
Jimin walked up to him aswell. Only to experience the same thing. This time, he fainted. He wasn't strong like Jungkook or J-Hope, he couldn't handle the pain.

Saying that Yoongi was terrified was an understatement. He stared at J-Hope and Jungkook who tried to wake up their feline. All he could do was stare. Stare at the blood scattered on the floor, stare at the broken vases due to Jimin's fall and J-Hope's jump. Stare at basically nothing since J-Hope had quickly drove them to his house.

All they need to do was clean and cover the clawed wounds of Jimin and after a while he would wake up. Yoongi thought something else. Something ended up with someone dying.

"No...no....nononononononono..."
Yoongi muttered to himself over and over again. Thank God the toddlers were sleeping.

Yoongi screamed. He screamed and screamed and screamed.

"D-daddy...?"
Kimgo asked in horror, looking at the scattered blood and broken vase pieces.

"Kimgo..."
Yoongi's cat ears perked up once again. He looked at the boy who had eyes begging to cry.

"B-blood..."
Kimgo looked at his own father with horror.

"Kimgo... Look at me please..."
Yoongi ran up to him. Looking at him eye to eye.

"Run to uncle Jin's house. Do you remember where that is?"
Yoongi asked. Kimgo nodded.

"Good. Bring your sister with you-"

"But why-"

"Kimgo, do it. Run. NOW."
And just like that, Kimgo grab a hold of Minha who just woke up. They may be toddlers, but they astonishingly learn and think faster than normal toddlers. Kimgo ran to Jin's house which was just beside theirs.

●●●●

"Kimgo!? Oh dear God where's Yoongi-"
Jin gets cut off by Kimgo who ran straight inside the house. Jin sighed and closed the door.

"Kimgo listen. If this is one of your hide and seek games it isn't funny."
Jin facepalmed and shook his head.

"It isn't uncle Jin."
Minha's voice was faint from crying.

●●●●

It took hours for Yoongi to compose himself rather than screaming and muttering "I'm sorry." or "no." Over and over again. It took hours for Yoongi to clean the mess up without having a breakdown. And it took hours for Yoongi to wash his hands and hair without stopping in his tracks and staring at the blood spreading everywhere on his feet and the water.

"No cutting. No cutting. No cutting. No cutting. No cutting."
Yoongi muttered to himself again and again, staring intensely at his wrists drenched with water.

"I promised."
Yoongi reminded himself. He continued to murder the words he said before.

"And keep your promise."
The voice spoke out of nowhere.

"I know..."
Yoongi sighed. He continued to drench his hair in water.

"You know, I could see what you're seeing right now."

This caused Yoongi to yelp and look anywhere other than "that".

"Aw."

Yoongi giggled when he clearly imagined the owner of the voice pout.

"I miss your giggles."

"I miss your voice."

"I'll come back soon."

"That's what you say everytime."
Yoongi frowned as he lets out a sigh. The voice went silent, indicating that it left.

"And I'll believe you everytime."
