Narrator's POV
The weekend full of love and laughter with family had flown by faster than the couple liked, and so did the next four days.
Which meant that the day of the trial was tomorrow—January 29th.
And to say both Taehyung and V were terrified would be an understatement. They had to relive everything again, hopefully for the last time. And as promised, Junghyun and Su-yeon were coming in about a few hours, they were going to stay over Jungkook's for two days this week; and the couple was currently getting ready to pick them up.
"Oh god, it's tomorrow. What the fuck do I do," V rambled, pacing up and down the stairs wearing his comfort hoodie and dark blue jeans.
"You don't do anything else except say the truth at the court, and I'll also be there with you along with mum and dad," Jungkook tried to calm him down, "Even our hyungs will be there. You're not alone in this, Wolfie. And we still have more time till tomorrow afternoon."
"Well yeah, but… what if the evidence we have isn't enough? What if they find a better lawyer and somehow manage to win the case? What if–"
Jungkook walked up to the younger and stopped him in his tracks, taking his face in his palms and pressing his cheeks together making him quiet and jut out his lips, "Listen to me, you worrywart," he started, "We have solid evidences, the phone-call recording to prove that you didn't consent to bullshit, your medical records that show you have no other mental or physical health condition other than DID and the ones that accompany it which means that there's no way for them to say that your wounds and scars were caused by pre-existing conditions or something like that. And also the people who you had to fight that day will be present in court, do you remember why?"
"They were paid to harm us and bring us to where they were?" V managed to say through squished cheeks.
"Yes, they've been found guilty for it by the police," he stated, "No matter what, those criminals are gonna get what they deserve, Wolfie."
V only nodded and let out a shaky sigh before hugging the older boy, who of course did not hesitate one bit in providing the distressed boy with some comfort. "Thank you, Kook."
"Mhm, no worries, you just make sure you're breathing alright, yeah? It'll be okay. I promise."
There was another thing he and Taehyung were worried about; they had yet to say anything about their DID to Junghyun and Su-yeon, and they weren't sure if they wanted them to know through court before they could tell them themselves. So opting for the better way, Taehyung told V to tell Jungkook's parents about it once they were here and settled.
"Hey, Kook," he started.
"Yes?"
"I'm gonna tell them about our DID."
Jungkook was a little taken aback, but that wasn't very apparent when he asked, "Are you sure? What did Taehyung say?"
"He's the one who told me to tell them if I'm still the one in control by then," V replied, scratching his head, "I'm not sure if I'll be in control for long though, and this feels weird but I'm somewhat awkward with parent figures… and so is Taesuk, so it might take us a little while to open up to them, even though they've been nothing but sweethearts to Tae…"
The brunet smiled and nodded in understanding, squeezing him tighter in the hug, "I understand, Wolfie. And that's valid, I'm sure they'll be patient to meet you both. Do you wanna tell them as soon as they're here or maybe after dinner?"
