Jungkook was given the all clear to go home by his doctor, so currently he was on his way to his future home where he'll be staying with Taehyung's parents. Mr. Park had returned to hospital after visiting the Jeon Mansion and got Jungkook discharged like he said. Jungkook wanted to stay in the hospital with Taehyung, but one stern look from Mr. Park and he let go of that idea completely. He just have to wait until he can go back to the hospital. He smiled remembering the moment he spent with his hyung in the morning.

Jungkook had spent the entire time with Taehyung, just talking to him. He told him about meeting Mr. Park and about him going to stay with him in their house. Taehyung felt relieved and happy to know that his father had taken Jungkook's responsibility when he couldn't. To be honest, he was worried that Mr. Jeon might try to take him away from him and Taehyung wouldn't be able to do anything to stop him in his condition, but now that he knows that Jungkook is going to be staying with his parents, he is happy.

The doctor had visited Taehyung in between and checked his vitals and recovery and had given them positive news making Jungkook sigh in relief. But after that Taehyung had felt drained and went back to sleep, making Jungkook pout. He left from there after kissing his forehead with a promise to come back soon. When he had come out, he saw everyone waiting for him. They had questioned him about Taehyung's condition and he conveyed what the doctor had said.

Jimin was sulking the whole time hearing that Taehyung was sleeping, because he wanted to see him and Jungkook felt guilty. He had forgotten in his excitement to see Tae and to talk to him, that he's not the only one who was worried and waiting to see their friend and son.

"I'm sorry hyung, because of me you couldn't see him. I got too excited to finally see him and hear his voice, I forgot that all of you also were waiting to see him just as much as me." Jungkook said, in a sad voice.

"Aish you bunny, why are you saying sorry? Do you want me to get beaten up by that alien boyfriend of yours? And who said we are upset at you? If anything, I'm upset at that alien. How dare he go back to sleep again after taking all of our sleep. Let him wake up again and this time I'm going to beat his ass for making me cry so much." Jimin huffed.

"If you're done with your drama, can we go? Your mother has already called me 5 times since we've come here asking me when I'm bringing Jungkook home. So before your mother beats my ass for real, can we please go. She's already mad that I didn't tell her about Tae and almost threw a vase at my head when I told her to stay at home, when she wanted to come here. She only calmed down when I told her that I'm bringing Kookie with me." Mr. Park said, making all of them laugh.

Jungkook was brought out of his dreamland by a voice. He turned his head to the side to see that the car had stopped and they were in front of a mansion. Mr. Park opened the door for him and helped him into the wheelchair. Jungkook looked at his surroundings with big bambi eyes taking everything in. He felt excited to see the house his boyfriend grew up in, though he kind of wished Taehyung was with him, but he shook those depressing thoughts away not wanting to spoil everyone's mood.

The Bangtans had decided to tag along after Mr. Park informed them that his wife was preparing a feast to welcome the new member , so they invited themselves and who was Mr. Park to say no. So right now everyone was sitting in Park's living room, while Mrs. Park was fussing over Jungkook, not even minding the other 5 boys who were looking at the scene with annoyance, especially Jimin.

"Yah Eomma, you do realize that your son whom you haven't met for months is also here right, or have you forgotten me just like dad?" Jimin whined.

"Who are you?" Mrs. Park asked, making Jungkook giggle at the mother son duo.

I guess the saying is true Jiminah, "the grass is always greener". Now that aunty has Jungkook, she has forgotten all of us." Jin said, faking sadness.

"Yah, I already have one drama queen in this house, I don't need another one. And besides this son of mine never remembers to call me or even visit his mother, and that goes for all of you. Just because you kids grew up doesn't mean that you forget your parents. And it took something like this to happen for all of you to show your faces here. Well why am I wasting my breath on all of you very busy people when I have my Kookie here. At least someone still needs me here. Come Kookie, let me take you to your room. I'll have the maid bring your things to your room, so you can just freshen up and then we'll have lunch." Mrs. Park said, taking Jungkook to his room avoiding everyone else.

"I guess we made her mad." Namjoon said, feeling upset.

Jimin was feeling extremely guilty. Everything his mother had said was true. Ever since he had moved out of the house two years ago, the conversations and visitations between them have become less and less over time. They used to be very close before. Jimin used to always share everything with her, he still does, but it isn't the same as before and he promised himself that he would rectify that.

"She's not mad at you guys. She's just upset that none of us informed her about Tae, but you guys know her, she can't stay upset for long. And Jimin, spend some time with her while you are here. Your mother never says anything, but she misses you both, you know. Talking on the phone is not the same as seeing you both in front of us." Mr. Park said, feeling emotional.

"I'm sorry dad. I guess I've been a bad son, haven't I?"

"No Jiminah, you're not a bad son. You and Tae are the best sons anyone could ever hope for and there hasn't been a single moment where we haven't felt proud of the two of you. We know that at your age, you'd prefer spending time with your friends than your parents, and there's nothing wrong with that, but that doesn't mean that you start taking your relationship with your families for granted. Every relationship is important and requires your time and effort, so learn to keep a balance and that goes for all of you, because I know that even your parents must feel the same." Mr. Park said, leaving them to think about their priorities.

"Do you like your room Kookie? This was Taehyung's room before, but now it's yours. Everything in this room is according to Tae's taste, but now that you're going to be living in this room, you can change anything according to your taste and I don't think my son would mind." Mrs. Park said, giving a warm smile.

Jungkook looked around the room which belonged to his boyfriend. Just being in this room made him calm. And he really did like the room. The walls had a muted tone giving the room a peaceful vibe. This room to Jungkook represents Taehyung's character to a T, 'understated elegance', yes that was the word he was looking for. And to be honest he wouldn't change a thing in here.

"It's really beautiful, aunty and I don't want to change anything here. It's perfect the way it is." Jungkook said, genuinely.

"Ok then I'll leave you here. You can freshen up and change your clothes. I'll bring you down, when lunch is ready." Mrs. Park said, before leaving Jungkook in the room.

Jungkook decided to look around the room for a bit, before freshening up. The room was spotless and he knew it wasn't just because of his arrival, but it was always kept spotless by Mrs. Park. He opened the cupboards to find some of Taehyung's clothes on the hanger. His face beamed seeing that. He immediately removed one red hoodie and hugged it to his chest inhaling the scent. His scent still lingered on the clothes even though Taehyung might not have worn these clothes in a very long time.

He removed one old T-shirt and shorts along with the hoodie, deciding to wear that instead of his clothes. He wanted to take a long bath, but the doctor has told him strictly not to get any of the bandages on his hands and legs wet. He smelled like a mix of antiseptic lotion and medicines. He wanted to scrub his skin badly to remove all traces of that monster's touch, but that would've to wait. He sighed, before deciding to just wipe his body with a wet cloth and spray perfume to remove the smell of hospital.

It was lunch time now and everyone was seated at the dining table, while Mrs. Park was busy serving food for everyone.

"Aunty, you please sit down and eat with us, we can serve ourselves." Jin said, not liking that they were sitting idle while she was serving them.

"Why, now I'm not even capable of doing this simple thing?" Mrs. Park asked, making Jin widen his eyes.

"Honey, you know that's not what he meant right. He just wants you to sit with us and relax and not work." Mr. Park said, trying to diffuse the situation. Others just kept quiet, not wanting to anger the already angry Mrs. Park. Jungkook felt uneasy seeing the tense environment, but he kept quiet, not wanting to interfere between the family. Jimin sighed, looking at his mother who had a blank expression on her face.

"Eomma, are you mad at your chimmie?" Jimin asked, pouting cutely while Mrs. Park just looked at her son with a done face.

"And why will I be mad at you? Did you do something, for me to be mad about?" Mrs. Park questioned.

"Eomma, I know you're mad at me and I'm sorry. I know I haven't been visiting like I promised, but trust me Eomma, it wasn't because I didn't want to spend time with you, I was genuinely busy with college. You know it's our final year right, but you're right I should've found time for you. Now please don't be angry and show me your beautiful smile that I've been missing so much, please." Jimin said, in a baby voice trying to be cute.

"You know what, you both father and son are the same, completely clueless and useless. Do you think I'm upset because you didn't visit me? I'm your mother. I know how busy you're with your studies. I'm not upset about that." Mrs. Park said, making Jimin and his father look at her confused.

"Well if you're not upset about that, then why are you angry?" Jimin asked.

"Because the two of you didn't think it necessary to inform me about my son being admitted in the ICU. Now I know what you're going to say, that you didn't want to worry me or give me stress. But no matter how worried or stressed I get, I still have a right to know about my son, especially when he was in a critical condition. You used to always tell me everything right, then why didn't you say anything this time or like your father you also see me as weak?" Mrs. Park asked in a pained voice.

"Honey, what are you saying? When have I ever said you're weak? I'm sorry for not telling you about Tae, but it wasn't because I thought you couldn't handle it. I just wanted to make sure he was alright before informing you. That's it." Mr. Park said, feeling sad that his wife thought like that.

"Yes Eomma, Dad is right. I've never once thought of you as weak, eomma. In fact you're one of the strongest person I know. And I'm sorry for not telling you about Tae, but trust me eomma, it wasn't intentional. With everything that was happening, I completely forgot about informing you."

"Yes aunty, we're also sorry. Please forgive all of us." Namjoon said, voicing everyone's thoughts.

"I forgive all of you, but you have to make a promise that from now on you won't hide anything from me, no matter how small or big, you'll tell me everything that i should know about. And I'm sorry for being upset. It's just I was scared when I heard about Tae and then you won't even let me see him, so I kind of took it out on all of you. So, please forgive me too." Mrs. Park said, feeling guilty for spoiling everyone's mood when they've come here after a long time.

"Oh honey, you don't have to apologize for anything and about meeting Tae, then none of us have seen him other than Kookie and I promise I'll take you with me to the hospital after lunch." Mr. Park said, hugging his wife. He could understand how she felt, after all he too was impatient to see Tae with his own eyes.

Things lightened up after that to everyone's relief. They've had enough emotional breakdowns in these two days and they were pretty much done with it. Everyone had lunch with some light conversations, carefully avoiding any emotional topics or about the impending hospital visit and just enjoyed each other's company.

The Park family was on their way to the hospital now. Jungkook refused to go with them,deciding to go at night, to let the family spend time with Taehyung. The others too decided to stay back and just rest and keep Jungkook company, for which Jungkook was truly grateful.

Right now both Mr & Mrs. Park and Jimin were standing outside the ICU. Mr. Park had gotten permission for all of them to see Taehyung even though it was against the rules. None of them had seen Taehyung when he was brought in, so even though Namjoon and Yoongi had told them Taehyung's condition and what to expect, nothing could've prepared them for the scene in front of them.

Jimin and Mrs. park burst into tears seeing Taehyung's condition, while Mr. Park clenched his eyes shut. Taehyung looked lifeless with bandages covering his whole body, while his face was unrecognizable. They couldn't even imagine the pain he must've gone through when those assholes beat him up. Mr. Park made them walk closer to the bed. Taehyung was still sleeping, so they were careful not to make a sound, although it was impossible with the sniffing sounds coming from both mother and son.

Taehyung was in deep sleep when he heard sniffing sounds and whispers of people talking. He opened his eyes slowly to be met with his family who were crying by his side. The moment they saw him opening his eyes, they became silent.

"How are you feeling now son? Are you in any pain?" Mr. Park asked, breaking the silence.

"I'm ok Appa. I look worse than I feel. Eomma, Chim please don't cry. You know I can't see tears in your eyes." Taehyung said, trying to comfort them.

He called them Eomma & Appa since it was just his family there, but outside in front of others he calls them Uncle & Aunt, because when he used to call Mr. Park appa, people always wanted to know why their surnames don't match and when they find out the truth they would look at him with pity, so eventually he stopped calling them Eomma & Appa in front of others, not just because he hated being pitied, but also because he hated talking about his parents death. Mr & Mrs. Park understood his reasonings, so they never forced him and now looking at his family crying for him, it broke his heart.

"Yeah, you are ok, that's why you're in the ICU, because you're completely fine." Mrs. Park said, getting angry at her son's comment. Even a blind person could see that he was in pain.

"Chim, at least you stop crying please. I'm already suffering, now you want me to suffer more by seeing your ugly crying face." Taehyung said, trying not to laugh, while Jimin glared at him angrily.

"You alien, how dare you call me ugly. You should see a mirror. Your face looks like it was ran over by a bulldozer. I'm going to take a picture of your face and post it all over the internet with the caption "Plastic Surgery gone wrong." Jimin said, making Taehyung gasp and their parents facepalm.

"You dumb mochi, how dare you say that to this handsome face. Eomma, Appa, Jimin is bullying me." Taehyung said, whining.

Jimin grinned evilly before he opened his phone camera and turned it towards Taehyung's face. Taehyung looked at the phone in front of him and screamed loudly, making the nurse present in the room to scold him.

"Aah, eomma, appa, ghost ghost." Taehyung cried, while Jimin laughed loudly and Mr & Mrs. Park was regretting their decision to have kids.

"Hahaha, that's not ghost, that's your face my dear alien." Jimin said, making Taehyung widen his eyes in horror.

"Oh my god, Kookie saw me like this. Aah, why did you let Kookie see me like this. What if he breaks up with me now because I'm ugly?" Taehyung said, whining making everyone roll their eyes at the dramatic boy.

"Maybe I should speak to his doctor once again. I think he was hit on his head one too many times that he's talking nonsense." Mr. Park said, while Taehyung looked at him in disbelief. His own father was calling him crazy.

"Ok enough. Jimin stop troubling him and Tae, stop talking like an idiot and you Mr. Park, stop calling my son crazy. Tae, you need to eat now." Mrs. Park said, putting an end to their stupidity.

Mr. Park called for the nurse who adjusted the bed to sitting position, while Mrs. Kim sat on the chair feeding him. Taehyung ate the food like an obedient boy, while Jimin pouted saying that she never feeds him like that to which Taehyung joked saying that if Jimin wants he can break his leg and put him on hospital, then mom will feed him and like that another fight broke out between the brothers while Mrs. Park Just sighed.
