Joonie || NamBTS

30) About time

"Pwease don' w-weave joo-nie.. Joo- Joo g-ood... Joonie n-no w-wanna c-cwy... H-huwts.. ", namjoon wailed loudly, balling up his fists and rubbing at his eyes as tears furiously flowed down.

"Oh my god...", Jin whispered in pure shock, turning his head to jimin. Everyone looked at the three in shock as well as confusion.

Yoongi's eyes turned glassy as he suddenly realized what might be happening to namjoon. "Hyung- I think- I think he's a-a little..", he trailed off, a stray tear making its way down his cheek as he remebered all the times namjoon acted like a kid. The hints were obvious and yet they ignored them all.

"What?", jungkook screeched loudly, making namjoon cry harder. Taehyung glared at him and rushed towards the elder, scooping him up in his arms and moving him onto the living room couch.

Everyone sat beside namjoon, not knowing what to do. They watched silently as taehyung tried coaxing namjoon to stop crying. His brother was a little so he knew what to do in situations like these.

"Okay guys, I got it. Just... let me handle it" Taehyung demanded, lightly shaking his head signalling to the others he knew what he was doing. Even if the others were just utterly worried, they trusted the singer, and slowly everyone got up so that taehyung could handle the youngest rapper in peace.

In the meantime, the Joonie was crying again because even if he was in his little space he knew that he had been caught, which was something not supposed to happen.

"Hyu- Joonie, look at me, honey. Look at tae", he said, slowly lifting Joonie's chin so that he wouldn't startle the little. Joonie did as told, staring at taehyung with his wide eyes, puffy cheeks now flushed from all the crying. "Taetae... J-joonie s-s-sowwy... Pwease n-no m-mad...", he wailed.

"No one's mad, bub. No one's gonna leave Joonie. It's okay, now. Please breathe for me. Can you do that for Taetae?" he asked gently, needing the distressed boy to calm down.

Joonie hiccuped a couple of times but finally managed to calm is erratic breathing as Taehyung dried his tears.
"There you go, love. Nothing to cry about", he smiled a bit, cheering internally when Joonie smiled back sheepishly, nuzzling his face against his chest.

"Joonie sowwy" the little sniffled, his voice muffled against the shirt.
Taehyung sighed, and caressed his back to comfort him. "You don't have to apologise, Joonie. We're sorry, sweetie. It's all okay. Now, tell Taetae what you want, prince", taehyung said slowly as everyone watched in awe. Taehyung was doing so well.

"Wan' wa-wan' J-jackie... T-Taetae...", Joonie stuttered out, voice muffled as he was still hiding his face into taehyung's chest.

"Jackie?", taehyung whispered to himself. "I think he means Jackson. Jimin-ah, call him", Jin said quickly, not wanting to frustrate namjoon even more. "Jackie no come?", Joonie asked, looking at taehyung with big, hopeful eyes. Taehyung had to keep his balance because Joonie's cuteness was making him weak in the knees. "He's coming, sweetheart. Now let's go to Joonie's room and sleep. Hmm? Joonie must be so tired", he said, smiling down at the little.

Joonie nodded, a bit reluctant but not really resisting. His eyes became droopy as he got up with taehyung's help. Suddenly, Joonie made grabby hands towards taehyung. "Dada, uppie?", he made the saddest puppy eyes possible and all of them melted. Well, almost all of them because taehyung was trying to process the fact that joonie called him 'Dada'.

He didn't realize when his eyes turned teary until Joonie touched his cheek slowly. "Dada, no cwy... J-Joonie no w-wike", the little frowned. Taehyung let out a watery chuckle and hugged Joonie tightly, making the little nuzzle his face into his shoulder.

"No, baby. Dada is not crying. Dada's sorry for everything, darling. Dada loves you so, so much", taehyung said frantically, patting Joonie's head. When he finally pulled back, he smiled at the sight of Joonie's closed eyes and his slightly opened mouth.

He looked at his boyfriends for help and jungkook came rushing towards the two. He took joonie from the elder and carried him like a bride. Joonie looked beautiful.

Everyone followed them to Namjoon's room which was the same as he left it. Jin had been cleaning it everyday. Just like before.

Jungkook laid him down on his bed and as he was about to pull back, a small whine from joonie stopped him. "J-joonie a-awone..", he mumbled sleepily, not opening his eyes.

Jungkook looked at the others and they nodded. Everyone seated themselves around Namjoon's bed as jungkook cradled namjoon in his lap.

"We're here, baby. Sleep well".

"What do you mean you couldn't tell us?", hoseok hissed. He was fucking pissed. Of course he would be. He had every reason. Here was Jackson, standing in front of him and telling him that he couldn't tell them, Namjoon's bandmates, that namjoon was a little.

"Do not shout, hoseok-ssi. I warn you", Jackson bit back. He was trying to be respectful to the people who made namjoon end up in the hospital, and yet they were yelling at him with their whole chest. Of course his patience was going to be on thin rope.

"I'm sorry, Jackson-ssi. But mind explaining why you apparently couldn't tell us that our leader was a little?", seokjin asked calmly, but there was a bite in his words that Jackson especially hated.

"Ask that to yourselves seriously. Why didn't namjoon tell you that he was a little and instead, told it to me, a whole fucking outsider who he has only known for what? 4 years?", Jackson scoffed. He was getting mad now. They really had the audacity to think it was his responsibility to tell them when namjoon didn't do it himself.

At Jackson's words, the whole room went silent. Taehyung and jungkook were in Namjoon's room, taking care of their leader. They were stunned. Because, yes, it was completely rational. Why would Jackson tell them namjoon's secret when he himself didn't dare doing it? Did he not trust them enough?

"We-", seokjin started but was cut off by a very annoyed Jackson. "I'm sorry, Seokjin-ssi but y'konw what? Don't even think about namjoon not trusting y'all because that couldn't be more far than the truth. He trusted you all with his fu- freaking life but you guys made his trust faulter. Y'know when I came to know about it?", Jackson was going on saying whatever he had in his heart and he couldn't stop now. He couldn't hold it inside becaus he had seen namjoon hurting, had been there to hold him and let him cry in his chest. No way he was going to not tell them how much damage they had caused.

"Jack-","No. Listen to what I have to say", Jackson angrily cut yoongi off when he tried to calm him down. And yoongi cowered back at his loud alpha voice.

"That night at the AMAs, I was having a good time with my members. I excused myself to go to the washroom and yknow what? I still cry when I think about that incident. Namjoon didn't have his shirt on and he was sobbing harshly. There was blood all over his upper body and when I asked him about it, he said it wasn't his. And when I asked him about what had happened, he..", jungkook cut himself off with a deep breath as angry tears went down his cheeks. He shuddered at the memory.

The members of bts looked at each other, holding their breaths as they anticipated for what might come.

"Someone had tried to-", another deep breath. "To rape him".
