I walk over to the crying boy and bend down next to him. He looks up at me before hiding his face again.
"Hey, Taehyung," I say. His crying gets softer. "Whats wrong?" I sit down next to him.
He shakes his head and doesn't say anything. I wrap my arms around him, pulling him into a hug. It's the least I could do right now.
That's when Taehyung loses it. He clutches onto my shirt and starts sobbing louder than before. I rub his back and he lays his head on my shoulder. We sit like that until he calms down.
"I'm sorry," He says, his voice deeper than normal due to him crying. It pained me to see him like this. I want him to be happy again. A tear slipped down my cheek.
"You don't have to be sorry, you didn't do anything wrong," I tell him. He pulls back slightly but is still in my arms. He wipes his eyes, they're red and puffy now.
"But I'm bothering you and your shirt is soaked now," His voice quivers a little, he still sounds upset and like he's about to cry at any moment. It really breaks my heart.
"I don't care if my shirt is soaked, I only care about if you're okay or not, and clearly you aren't," I say, pulling him closer to me, he lays his head on my shoulder again. "You don't have to tell me whats wrong, I won't force you, but it might be better if you do. It's not good keeping all this inside,"
Taehyung wraps his arms around me tightly. We sit like that for a minute before he takes a deep breath and starts talking again.
"It... has to do with my family and my past. I didn't have many good memories," Taehyung says, sounding calmer than before. "After you asked me about them I started thinking about the memories and it hurt,"

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," I tell him, scared he's going to get more upset. "Don't force yourself,"
"No, it's okay. I want to tell you," He takes a deep breath. "Everything happened when I was around seven or eight. My father started seeing another woman and he would get drunk a lot. He used to abuse my mother and I. I never had a close relationship with her to begin with, she just always watched me get beat and never did anything about it. She didn't even try to help me afterward. The women wanted to stop seeing my father a few years later, my mom found out about them, and my father got more violent and abusive. One night he tried to kill my mother and I, he only succeeded in killing her and tried to kill me before I was able to escape. That's when I met Jungkook. His family took me in and I've stayed with them since."
My heart hurts after hearing the story, Taehyung had to go through all of that at a young age by himself. No wonder why he was so upset when I asked about them.
We sit in silence on the roof for a while and Taehyung eventually falls asleep in my arms, tired from all the crying he did, and I fall asleep soon after.

Deviant's Masquerade: The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
