Chapter Text
'' JIN-HYUNG!''
The shout of terror had Jin jumping from his bed despite the pain that emanated from his side and his head. Everything still hurt so bad, but he was willing to face it if it meant that he could help one of his dongsang.
Jin rushed out of his bedroom, not even caring that he had knocked everything off of his bed in the process. His blankets were strewn across the floor, and his pillows were laying beside his bed stand.
'' JIN-HYUNG, SOMETHING'S WRONG WIH JUNGKOOK!''
This had Jin moving even faster now as he approach the living room.
He ran inside and found Taehyung standing over Jungkooks slumped form on the couch. The second youngest looked absolutely terrified as he watched Jungkook sob uncontrollably before him. When he finally realized that Jin was in the room his head snapped up to face him, and Jin could see the terror in his eyes.
'' Hyung, I don't know what to do. He won't say anything to me. I don't know what's going on.'' Taehyung said. He was clearly on the verge of tears. Jin rushed forward, resting a hand on Taehyungs shoulder to reassure him.
'' It's going to be ok.'' Jin stated, patting Taehyung's shoulder. '' Go make some hot tea for him ok. I'll handle this.'' Jin stated.
'' But hyung-''
'' Tae baby, I need you to trust me on this one.'' Jin stated. '' Please, just do as I say. Trust me, it will do more good then harm for Kookie.'' Jin explained. He watched in silence as Taehyung's eyes fell on Jungkook for another second, and then he made up his mind. He pushed to a stand, and rushed back to the kitchen to make the tea.
Jin took the opportunity to turn his full attention to Jungkook now. The younger looked so upset, his entire face covered with tears, and his cheeks shaded a dark pink hue. He looked terrible, and Jin knew that he had to change this. Jin rested his hand against Jungkook's back, gently working his hands into the tense muscles under his palm. He stiffened at the touch, and finally opened his eyes to look up at Jin.
'' Kookie, can you hear me?'' Jin asked. It took a second for Jungkook to respond, but eventually he got a small nod out of the maknae.
'' Hyung.... Those people.'' Jungkook's voice caught in his throat as he leaned against the hand on his back. He reached out with the other hand, and he grabbed ahold of Jin's other hand. '' They were so mean hyung.'' Jungkook explained.
'' Who was so mean?'' Jin asked, concern in his voice.
'' The twitter people.'' Jungkook explained. A broken sob escaped his throat as he leaned heavier on Jin. Jin carefully pulled the boy off the couch, and rested on the floor with him in his lap. He held Jungkook close, and slowly rocked him back and forth as he whispered softly to him.
'' What did they say Kookie, you need to tell me.'' Jin said. He waited a few minutes, giving Jungkook the time he needed to respond. Finally, after about ten minutes, he got his answer.
'' They said we should have been the ones to die instead of the people who died on the plane.'' Jungkook said. His sobs were coming faster now, tears soaking into the front of Jin's shirt. '' They said that maybe if we had died then the other people never would have died.''
Jin felt his heart break at the words. He knew just how powerful an anti's words could be against them, seeing it many times when it had affected Jimin, Namjoon, and even heir sunshine Hoseok. Their words hurt, and at a time like this it hurt even worse then it normally would have. They were still healing from the trauma of the crash, and to have this thrown at them was making it so much worse.
'' Kookie.'' Jin whipered. His hand lifted from rubbing against his back to tangle into his limp hair. It was greasy from missing a few to many showers. He made a mental note to send the maknae for a shower once he had drinken the tea hat Taehyung was making for him. '' It's going to be ok. I need you to believe me when I say his. I know there words hurt now, but it will get better I promise you.''
'' It hurts hyung.'' Jungkook cried. He backed away from Jin enough to look up at the older. He was so tired his entire body wracked with chills from the anxiety attack. '' I just want the pain to stop... All of it.'' Jungkook's eyes suddenly went blank, as if he was no longer even there. '' I wish that I had died in that crash... Maybe then this would not hurt so bad.'' He whispered.
Jin felt his heart snap in two at those words. Tears sprung to his eyes that he could not stop. He pulled Jungkook close to his chest burying his face into his messy hair.
'' I promise you Jungkook that this will get better.'' Jin stated. '' I know that it's really hard right now. Trust me, I know. I need you to understand that it may be hard right now, but things will get better. It will take time, and a lot of healing on our part, but it will happen.''
'' But... The comments hyung.'' Jungkook mumbled.
'' Don't pay attention to the comments.'' Jin said. '' They hold nothing to you.'' He explained. '' You are wonderful, beautiful. You deserve to live. Please don't cry anymore.'' Jin whispered. Jungkook gasped at the words as he leaned heavier onto Jin.
'' I can't.'' He sobbed.
'' Yes you can.'' Jin said. '' You are a brave kid. I know that you can stop crying.'' He whispered. Jin sat there for a moment just listening to Jungkook's sobs. Eventually heard Taehyung approach with the mug of tea in hand. Taehyung looked hesitant to approach at first, but finally he broke free of his stubor when Jin motioned for him to come forward. Taehyung knelt next to Jin and Jungkook, reaching out to take hold of one of Jungkook's trembling hands.
'' Kookie. I brought you some tea.'' Taehyung whispered. '' Do you want some?'' He asked.
Jin watched as Jungkook turned his head slightly, tears covering hi rosy red cheeks. He eyed Taehyung as if he were afraid, but Jin could see the love inside those dark pools. Jungkook then pulled his hand free of Taehyung's hand, and he reached out to take hold of the mug. His hands were a bit shaky, but he managed to keep a good hold on the mug anyways. He took a few small sips of the drink, and then a small smile broke through. He sniffed slightly, scrubbing at his eyes with his other hand.
'' It's good.'' He whispered. Taehyung smiled at this.
'' I'm glad you like it.'' Taehyung stated.
The three just sat there for a few minutes. Jungkook's tears stopped finally, but he was still very shaky. Jin waited for him to be finished with his tea before he decided to move away.
'' Why don't we get you a nice hot shower Kookie.'' Jin suggested. '' It might help to make you feel better.'' He explained.
'' What do you say Kookie?'' Taehyung asked. '' You wanna try it?''
Jungkook woul have said something, but he just could not get the words out. Instead he just nodded his head, and allowed Jin to help get him to his feet. Jungkook was very shaky on his feet, but he was able to stand. Jin helped to get him back to the bathroom, and from there Taehyung entered the room stating that he would stay with Jungkook. Jin thanked the second youngest for this, and left to head back to his room to get some sleep.
He found Yoongi laying on his bed across the room. He had been out cold when he had heard Taehyung shouting. He was playing on his phone at he moment, but when he caught sight of Jin his eyes were trained on him.
'' What was that all about?'' Yoongi asked. '' I heard someone crying.'' He said.
'' It was Jungkook.'' Jin explained. He gently laid back on his bed, his side twinging slightly before he was able to get comfortable. '' There were some really mean comments on twitter about the crash. They stated that we should have died instead of the other people in the plane.'' He explained.
'' I see how that would have scared him.'' Yoongi whispered. His eyes fell slightly. '' I saw the same comments..... They scared the hell out of me.'' He explained.
'' They scared me when he told me.'' Jin said. '' I hope that the others didn't see them.'' Jin said.
'' I hope so to.'' Yoongi said.
---
Of course, they were wrong.
The others had seen the comments.
The comments were tearing through the group as if it was a disease.
It had not even been an hour since Jungkook broke down that they heard a scream from the bedroom that Jimin and Hoseok shared. Jin and Yoongi both rushed to their bedroom, and they found Hoseok sitting against the wall just staring off into space. His phone lay feet away from him, the screen shattered. Jimin was staring at his own phone as well, and there were tears in his eyes. He looked so upset.
'' Jimin, are you ok?'' Jin walked over to Jimin's side, while Yoongi knelt beside Hoseok. He saw Yoongi reach out to set a hand on Hoseok's shoulder. The second he did, he saw Hoseok break down in tears, hugging his legs to his chest as he sobbed into them. The sight was heartbreaking.
'' The comments.'' Jimin whispered. '' They were just so mean.'' Jimin looked up to Jin, the tears finally falling as a sob broke free of his chest. '' Do we really deserve to live?'' He asked.
'' Of course we do.'' Jin said. '' Don't believe what they say Jimin. It's not true what ever it is.'' He explained.
'' Hyung..... Thirty people died.... They would rather trade us for the thirty of them.'' He said, more tears starting to fall. Jin reached out at this point, and hugged him close. He felt Jimin lean into the touch as he continued to cry. Jin glanced over to where Hoseok was at. The dancer was sobbing into Yoongi's chest, his entire body shaking with the force as Yoongi just held him close. Yoongi's eyes lifted to look at Jin, and when they did they saw that the eldest rapper had tears in his own eyes.
He was just as shaken as the rest of them were.
Jin was there with Jimin for about twenty minutes. He had Yoongi stay with him and Hoseok while he ran offto check on Namjoon.
Sadly, it seemed that Namjoon was he worst off.
Namjoon was just lying on his bed staring at the wall across the room. There was no light in his eyes, his gaze vacant. It actually scared Jin to see it.
Jin approached the bed, reaching out to rest a hand on Namjoon's back.
He did not even register the touch.
'' Joon-ah.'' Jin called out. '' Can you hear me?''
Jin waited, holding his breath. After what felt like an eternity, Namjoon finally turned his head to see him.
There were tears falling down the leaders face.
'' It hurts.'' Namjoon whispered, and then he broke down.
All Jin could do was hold him as he sobbed, being gentle not to hurt him any.
However, he could not stop his own tears which began to fall in the process.
