~ Jungkook's POV ~
But just as I'm about to go get Yoongi hyung I see the door begin to slowly open and Tae leaning on it for like support I just don't know why he needs support I'm about to ask him what's wrong when I see blood bleeding through his white long sleeves.
I run towards the door and say "Tae! Your bleeding! What happened?!" I say incredibly worried.
I'm even more confused and worried when I see him smile. He looks like he's about to open his mouth to say something but before he can he passes out.
I'm able to catch him just in time before he hits the floor.
I'm shocked at first I don't know what to do. I decided to just scream for Yoongi Hyung and Jimin since hopefully, they are still downstairs.
"YOONGI HYUNG! JIMIN!! GET UP HERE NOW!! EMERGENCY!" I yell as I get a better hold on Tae and decide to place him on the bed to see what happened.
I gasp as soon as I roll up his sleeves I see cuts on his arms and there still bleeding I run to the side dresser and grab two random black shirts and just wrap it around both of his wrists.
Just as I'm about to yell for Yoongi hyung and Jimin I hear them running up the stairs and a loud "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED" from Jimin.
"I-I doing know j-just go get wash rags t-they are in the bathroom and wet t-them a little please J-Jimin"
"U-Uh okay" I hear Jimin say as he runs to the bathroom.
"Here I'll hold one of his wrists so you can check for his pulse" I hear Yoongi hyung say as I nod. I check his pulse as soon as Yoongi gets ahold of the shirt and holds Tae's wrist.
I gently put my fingers on his neck and am relieved when I still feel his pulse so at least he's alive.
"D-Do you t-think this was an s-suicide attempt?" I ask Yoongi hyung as I take my hand away from his neck suddenly remembering the scars on his wrist I saw in the hospital.
'M-Maybe those were from himself?'
'How did I never notice this?'
"I-I don't know," He says but I'm not convinced but before I can question further Jimin coming running and throws me like 4 wet rags. I give two to Yoongi and take two for myself.
Yoongi wraps the rags around one of Tae's wrists and I wrap the other at least it looks like it's not bleeding that much anymore.
"Hey Jimin can you please go get me the first aid kit it's under the counter in our room"
"S-Sure" Jimin stutters.
Ever since Jimin came up here I see that he's really worried about Tae. I mean we all are but Jimin has known Tae the longest and they are best friends and soulmates it's weird cause Jimin hasn't even been talking and Jimin talks A LOT.
I see Jimin come running with the first aid kit in his hands. "H-Here k-kook"
"Thanks, Jimin. Listen Tae will be fine" I say trying to reassure him as I take the first and kit from him.
"H-How do you k-know?"
I sigh 'I should tell them'
"I don't think this is the only time he's done this," I say as I open the first aid kit and get some gauze wraps and medical tape.
"W-What do you mean?" Jimin asks me in a shaky voice.
"W-When he was in the hospital I saw s-scars on his arms they looked old t-though. I thought they were from his d-dad but maybe h-he used to c-cut himself to get through the a-abuse?" I say a bit hesitantly as I begin to wrap one of Tae's wrists.
"D-Do you think T-Tae would actually do something like t-that?" I hear Jimin ask.
"I mean if he was going through something that horrible I don't know. If it was me I can't say I wouldn't think of that" I say as I finish wrapping Tae's wrists and give Yoongi the gauze and medical tape so he can do Tae's other wrists.
"That's true," Yoongi hyung says.
'It's weird how quiet he's been during this.'
"Yoongi Hyung why have you been so quiet?"
"Um I-I don't know?"
I was about to question him more when I'm interrupted by a low groan coming from Taehyung.
"Tae baby! Can you open your eyes for me please love" I say as I hear him whimper a couple of times. Jimin and Yoongi rush over to Tae's side.
"Taebear come on you can do it" Yoongi hyung tries to encourage him.
"Y-Yeah come on Tae Tae. Chim is here" Jimin also makes an effort.
"C-Chim" I hear Tae mumble.
"Y-Yes Tae Tae it's C-Chim," Jimin says as he holds Tae's hand and Taehyung's eyes open slightly.
"W-What happened?" Taehyung asks as he turns his body towards me and winces.
"Tae w-why did y-you do it?" I say barely holding it together.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Taehyung says as he moves to get up.
"Taebear stop you need rest," Yoongi Hyung says.
"Yoonie hyung?" He asks.
Yoongi hyung gives him a small smile.
"Why are all of you here?" Taehyung says as we frown.
"Why wouldn't we be we love you. Especially me" Jungkook answers.
"I don't know why" he mumbles more to himself.
"Taebaby we'll always be here for you so please don't do that again," I say as I point to his wrists. He unconsciously tries to pull down the sleeves.
"I-I *sighs* I'm sorry. For the way I have been acting and for... this. T-This used to be a habit w-when I was staying with my p-parents and after I- um something bad happened I would go cry to my m-mom and that never did anything.
I didn't want to put anything extra on her and I wasn't the only one going through hell so was she so I didn't- I don't know I just saw this guy in my school one day when I was 12 using a razor from a pencil sharpener cutting himself and I asked why and he said the pain distracts him from everything for a while.
So I decided I got nothing to lose why not try it so I did it every time something bad happened which was usually every day. I stopped when I met Chim"
By the end of Taehyung's story, everyone had tears in their eyes. Jimin was crying hard next to Tae still holding his hand, Yoongi had a few tears staining his cheeks rubbing Jimin's back and Jungkook was crying hugging Taehyung.
"Guys stop crying," Taehyung says.
"I'm so sorry that happened to you Tae Tae you didn't deserve that. No one deserves that" Jimin says barely audible in between cries.
"Hey hey Chim calm down. Didn't you hear the end? I stopped cutting because of you. You helped keep me happy and I didn't feel the need to cut. So thank you for that" Taehyung says sincerely letting go of Jungkook and pulling Jimin into a hug.
"Um, Tae wh-why did you c-cut again was it b-because of m-me?" Jungkook asks.
"No I um had a flashback to the attack when I went up here and I used to have flashbacks all the time and cutting used to help stop them so I just found a razor and did it. I guess I went too deep because I haven't done it in years." Tae answers me.
"Oh um next time can you yell for me and we can get through it together instead of hurting yourself please," Jungkook says.
Taehyung just nods.
"Promise?" Jungkook says as he holds out his pinky.
Taehyung nods and smiles giving Jungkook a pinky promise.
