Chapter 11

"Namjoon, what happened to your hands?", Jeongguk asked Namjoon with his brows furrowed. The six men were on their way home in the beginning hours of the morning.

"Oh, I cut them when I escaped.", Namjoon said and Jeongguk grabbed his hands, making him wince. They had been throbbing since Seokjin found him and he had to maneuver himself down from the tree.

Jeongguk tsked. "You should've waited for us, Joonie. We were worried sick about you when Jin told us that you went missing."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you guys upset.", Namjoon said with his head down. He didn't really think about how his escape would make the others feel, he just went with it in the spur of the moment.

Jeongguk ran his fingers through Namjoon's hair. "It's okay, babe. We're just happy you're safe."

ฯฯฯฯฯฯฯ

"Oh thank fuck! Namjoon what the hell?!", Yoongi exclaimed as the others entered the house and tackled Namjoon into a hug. He stayed home, listening to everything through the wiretap on Seokjin, prepared for anything they needed that required the use of technology.
He ended up having to clear out Sungki's gang database, transferring some to his computer if it looked useful.

"I'm sorry, Yoongi.", Namjoon said, hugging Yoongi back.

"Yoongi, you should take Namjoon to the bathroom to clean and treat his hands.", Jeongguk said, giving Yoongi a look. He motioned his head towards the living room, where all of the presents had been stashed earlier and Yoongi's eyes widened.

"What the hell happened to your hands?!", Yoongi exclaimed, pulling away from Namjoon and turning his palms up. "How long have they been like this?"

Yoongi asked, concerned as he lead Namjoon to the downstairs bathroom.

Taehyung waited till the pair were in the bathroom, with the door shut, to speak up. "Okay what are we doing?"

"We should wait till things settle down again before saying something.", Jimin said and Jeongguk groaned.

"We've been waiting forever now. I don't know how much longer I can take it."

"Well first things first, let's put these in my room before they come back out.", Seokjin said, picking up some of the items. The others followed suit.

ฯฯฯฯฯฯฯ

"Ow!", Namjoon whined as Yoongi cleaned one of the bigger cuts on Namjoon's right hand.

"Stop squirming, Joon."

"But it hurts!"

"I know, honey. Just bare with me for ten more minutes. The last thing I want is for it to get infected.", Yoongi said and Namjoon pouted.

ฯฯฯฯฯฯฯฯ

"This is the last one.", Hoseok said, bringing the last item into Seokjin's room. The five men all settled onto Seokjin's bed as Taehyung closed the door.

"I think Jimin is right. He needs a break, especially after the whole fiasco with his father. We don't want him to feel overwhelmed by adding something else for him to stress about.", Seokjin said. "It was fucked up."

The others nodded in agreement.

"I say we give him a few days to relax, then we tell him.", Jimin added.

"I think that's for the best.", Hoseok agreed. Everyone turned their heads towards Jeongguk and the younger rolled his eyes.

"I won't say anything."
