IT WAS ALWAYS YOU
US


Jin was cooking for the group that day and sochul was helping him silently

Jungkook sat idly without talking the whole day.

SOCHUL
Jungkook-ah come here and help me chop these veggies


JUNGKOOK
...yes.

sochul patted Jungkook as he smiled a hopeless curve on his lips


SEOKJIN
we will be leaving to Sydney with joon , Yoongi , you , y/n and me . the others will be here to get information


SEOKJIN
got it?


JUNGKOOK
yes.

Jungkook looked down and nodded slowly

Jungkook went on a drive with hoseok


HOSEOK
hey gguk cheer up , see the sky ? it gets dawn and lights up everytime telling us to rise again too.

Jungkook nodded as he gulped down


HOSEOK
cry it out, you can't hold it in forever


JUNGKOOK
taehyung hyung I miss him

Jungkook finally let out his words truly and tears flew down


JUNGKOOK
he was my backbone till yesterday


JUNGKOOK
how can everyone sacrifice themselves for a mistake I should bear?


HOSEOK
hey it was never your fault!


JUNGKOOK
it is hyung! it is!

hoseok patted Jungkook slowly and left him with a bottle of water

Jungkook's pov.

I broke down in the way I can , I kneeled down hugging the bottle and walked helplessly

my life was never easy with an monster who abused eomma and me everyday

we were brave enough to escape and I found my own happiness in my hyungs , Sochul and y/n.

my hope to live was because I knew my friends will be here

but .. FUCK HE MADE ME LOOSE EVERYTHING

why was it always us? why god?! it's been more than four years since I tried to heal?!

you should have ended me when I was born so that no one who met me would suffer

I lost everything , eomma , y/n, hyungie ...and myself

hoseok hyung ran to me as I cried hugging my knees on the ground


HOSEOK
Jungkook-ah! don't give up hmm?


HOSEOK
we should go to the hospit-

I held hoseok hyung's hands in mine , hugging him and crying helplessly

hoseok hyung patted me slowly


HOSEOK
hey you know we are here for ya , don't you know .


JUNGKOOK
you will also die hyung! I don't know what went wrong? what the hell did I do to end up like this?


HOSEOK
jungkook-ah I know this world's cruel , I know how that hurts you , but you know hyungs are trying right?


HOSEOK
we shouldn't give up , if one of us does there's no hope


HOSEOK
taehyung did that much to help us , isn't it?

I nodded when hoseok hyung took me into the car and to the hospital

I closed my eyes and leaned on hoseok hyung's shoulder

the comfort I got and even though their lives were messed up with mine but my hyungs never left me

New tears found their own way out of my eyes


HOSEOK
should I sing the song tae used to sing for you? aigoo come here

I cried in hoseok hyung's embrace and he stopped the car to comfort me .


HOSEOK
he went there for us. for you and y/n. we should save our tae and bring him back okay?

I nodded slowly as hoseok hyung and I went to the hospital

DOCTOR
he's healing slowly but medicines are compulsory Jungkook


JUNGKOOK
okay.


HOSEOK
well we will have the check up again then?

DOCTOR
of course we should have it. Jungkook don't give up hmm?

I nodded with a genuine smile as I laid down to get checked up

hoseok hyung held my hand . I closed my eyes and slept peacefully

the memories of taehyung hyung came to me like the wind while I slept


TAEHYUNG
hey Jungkook , eat this hmm ?

Jungkook shook his head


TAEHYUNG
Jungkook-ah it's not your fault and your blood pressure is increasing please don't fall into false blame


TAEHYUNG
I don't know what your thinking but hyung won't be happy if you give up


Jungkook
why Hyung?! why do you force me?!


TAEHYUNG
I didn't , here let's eat so that we can find y/n hmm?


TAEHYUNG
tomorrow you will leave and I won't be there or any of us. so take care and eat well.

Jungkook shook his head


TAEHYUNG
okay then your not eating am not eating too .


Jungkook
fine! gimme me the lunch

taehyung smiled and fed Jungkook


TAEHYUNG
that's my gguk. here take this

taehyung smiled and fed Jungkook , Jungkook ate angrily but loved the food

Yoongi came in with a cold look at Jungkook, after y/n left yoongi's convos with Jungkook reduced and Jungkook hated it


YOONGI
you will be going to university from tomorrow , tae feed him fast and come here to eat


YOONGI
don't be a whiny baby Jungkook

Yoongi said giving a glance at Jungkook and left


Jungkook
it's my fault .. if only I didn't-

taehyung scooped a spoonful into Jungkook's mouth angrily making the younger shut up


TAEHYUNG
then of course it's my fault too for not protecting my friends, Jungkook just think , why crying over something what you can't change ?

Jungkook looked at his hyung with a confused look


TAEHYUNG
let's fight for the future and work hard in the present


TAEHYUNG
crying over past brought Nothin to me

this changed Jungkook's vision a lot.


JUNGKOOK
NOONA! NOO! SHE'S SHE'S MY SISTER LET ME-

Jungkook kneeled down as the security didn't allow him to see his sister once

taehyung held Jungkook while Aaron tried his best to tell the security

GUARD2
sorry sir . doctors told us not to allow anyone anymore


Jungkook
she's my sister my only angel , hyung tell them that she's my sister , she's my-

Jungkook fainted ... after crying helplessly

taehyung held him closely to his embrace as Aaron helped him and Jungkook

PRINCIPAL
GRADUATE JEON JEONGGUK.

Jungkook stood up his legs wobbling as his hyungs couldn't make it on time and beongseon was in abroad

suddenly the door opened for him to see Yoongi and taehyung dragging him to Jungkook smiling

Jungkook smiled happily

Yoongi patted Jungkook slightly giving him flowers Jungkook could see how much Yoongi missed talkin' to Jungkook


YOONGI
y-you did well.


TAEHYUNG
is that it?!

taehyung glared at Yoongi

Yoongi rolled his eyes and turned to Jungkook


YOONGI
go take your certificate gguk!

Jungkook's eyes brightened, he nodded nervously and hugged Yoongi after a year


JUNGKOOK
hyung! thank you hyung!

taehyung smiled and the others came laughing

the crowd clapped and Jungkook understood this was taehyung's plan


TAEHYUNG
happy graduation day!!

Jungkook nodded as he became teary suddenly


SEOKJIN

hoseok laughed taking photos

03:30 PM
Jungkook was working non stop to get the work over after becoming one of the top companies , work was hectic


JUNGKOOK
please confirm this and send a print To our management team

he didn't even check the time , he kept on working not until someone knocked on the door


JUNGKOOK
I told you guys not to dist-

Jungkook looked up to see taehyung smiling and waving at him with a lunch box


TAEHYUNG
ggukie should eat on time , Rumyeol take the files away!

Rumyeol chuckled and nodded before taking the files away

taehyung fed Jungkook, seeing his hyung happy Jungkook felt happy truly

he smiled like a bunny , the fact that he came this far was because of his hyungs , his eyes turned into crescent moons


TAEHYUNG

Jungkook choked and nodded of course this is his hyung no doubt in that.

present , Jungkook's pov:

I opened my eyes to see hoseok hyung talkin' with the doctor


HOSEOK
everything will be fine right?

DOCTOR
can't assure that but his will should be strong


HOSEOK
Jungkook won't give up I promise .

the doctor smiled and left

hyungs trust me more than their lives and my will to protect them is stronger too


HOSEOK
gguk let's leave , we gotta eat am hungry


JUNGKOOK
okay hyung . let me drive for now

hyung smiled at me and left to the washroom as I sighed sitting on the bed and another memory flashed on my mind like a wave

Jungkook woke up panicked a traumatic memory of his dad beating him up


Jungkook
no! appa jebal leave m-me , eom-eomma is bleeding, eomma

MR.JEON
bastard your an asshole useless stupid

Jungkook cried shivering holding his mom.

his dreams flashed in front of his eyes .

suddenly someone held him tight and patted his head , he calmed down , he heard a soothing voice which soothed his heart

"On my pillow Can't get me tired Sharing my fragile truth That I still hope the door is open"

taehyung hyungie was singing for me , I opened my eyes to see him smiling at me and patting me to sleep

hoseok hyung stood at the door and whispering I love yous to me , I hugged hyungs closely

present :

I brought jimin hyung to a autumn park which is his favorite place where he and taehyung hyung first met


JUNGKOOK
I promise you hyung I will bring tae hyung back even tho it costs my li-

jimin hyung held my hands tightly and smiled weakly at me


JIMIN
Jungkook-ah, tae will be saved , and you , you are our precious brother you shouldn't think it's your fault

jimin hyung's words always promised to change my vision

his words were a euphoria to me in the most darkest days

he hugged me and kissed my forehead.


JIMIN

JIMIN
no one deserves a bad childhood or abuse

I nodded looking down


JIMIN
your our boy who always stood up bravely . always helped us in our lives


JIMIN
you were always there for us and that's the same we will do for you. hyungs are here for you. here to protect you.

I nodded with my wide eyes our love was always a mutual .

jimin hyung hugged me and gave me a autumn leaf

he sighed taking a deep breath


JIMIN
we are like the autumn leaves gguk , we fall down .

my eyes were teary before we heard some familiar voice behind us


NAMJOON

I smiled weakly at Namjoon hyung before he nodded at me smiling


NAMJOON

NAMJOON

JUNGKOOK

NAMJOON

jimin hyung hugged Namjoon hyung and me in a second before I rethought what was happening


JIMIN
I don't need any medicines you guys are enough. taehyung beside is enough.

jimin hyung cried in my embrace

he patted my back even though I sighed at him


NAMJOON
jimin-ah, you know it better , your our penicillin if your giving up there's no point for me to struggle here this much

Namjoon hyung smiled gaining all the hope he can and gave it to us

he never told us it out but he did this all for us , became an detective leaving his favourite course behind for us to protect us

i loved us. I loved what we had . for my friends I would give up everything I can and now I understood what tae hyung is doing

realisations took place late but I looked up at the sky teary eyed

I should save us. I shouldn't give up .

I looked at jimin hyung and hugged him tightly


JUNGKOOK
I will bring him , we will , your so strong hyung you still tried to comfort me when it's you who's breaking inside


JUNGKOOK

JIMIN
