seven

soobin had followed jay everywhere around seoul. well if you could call it following, he was mainly being dragged everywhere to the point where he though his arm would come out of its socket.

they sat on a bench in a small secluded area of the park and watched the birds fly around them.

"jay," soobin started as he picked at his sweater sleeve, "why do you hurt the others?"

jay stopped to really think about it, why did he hurt them? was it jealousy? envy maybe...

"they're too content with living in the system."

soobin quirked an eyebrow at the elder, "you aren't happy being in there?"

jay nodded their head as the looked at the ground, "i just want to be in my own body, free to do as i please."

the look in jay's eyes was that of hope and longing. longing to be free from the system and to be their true, authentic self.

"i don't want to look like yeonjun. the way i see myself is nothing like him," jay said,a flash of irritation spread across his face.

soobin hummed in response trying to gather what his thoughts.

"you know they want you to be yourself and be happy right? they aren't trying to hold you back. they only want to make sure the system is safe and with you hurting them, it isn't."

jay looked at soobin with a faint look if remourse that was quickly masked with a blank expression, "sometimes it's hard for me to stop it, but why should i care?"

the younger sighed heavily, nothing will get through to them. he could try all he wants but it's something beyond his control.

soobin stands up and offers a hand to jay, "we should get back to the dorm before they lock us out."

jay grabs his hand and nods before standing up as well.

"we're back losers!"

taehyun was the first to come running out into the living room, "thank god you're back! kai hasn't shut up about her all day!"

jay let out a snap, "THEY NOT HER YOU IDIOT," and slapped him upside the head.

taehyun winced and apologized to the elder and made his way to the couch like a puppy with its tail between its legs.

"you guys finally came back!"

kai caning running out to hug them, hugging jay exceptionally longer. soobin could feel his blood boiling but kept his composure.

"kai could you let go of jay? the need to go to the bathroom," soobin said failing at masking the irritation in his voice.

kai let go with a smile and skipped to the kitchen to make a sandwich. jay smirked at soobin, "jealousy isn't a good look on you oppa."

with that they left to their room, but not without giving their hips a little sway and giving soobin a wink.

"they are something else hyung," taehyun said with a chuckle before turning on the tv. soobin rolled his eyes before making his was to his room.

he flopped on his bed face first, grumbling into his pillow. he really hoped that yeonjun would have fronted today but to his luck it was pretty much only jay.

don't get him wrong, jay wasn't too bad to be around. maybe they were too hypersexual to be around but he still had a good time. he just wished it were yeonjun he shared all those laughs with today.

he really missed yeonjun.

as if on que, a knock was heard.

"come in!"

the door creaked open, yeonjun stood there with his panda onesie on and a stuffed bunny in his hand.

soobin looked at the door and instantly cooed at the boy.

"h-hyungie?"

soobin instantly knew it was juju, "yes juju? what's wrong little one?"

yeonjun stepped into the room and carefully closed the door behind him before making his way to the edge of the bed.

"c-can i s-sleep with hyungie?" juju asked with teary eyes.

"of course you can juju," soobin said while helping the boy into the bed, "hyung is always here."

juju cuddled soobin tightly, embracing the sweet scent of his cologne. juju always wanted to do this with his hyungs but was always too afraid to ask.

"do you want to tell me what's wrong little one?" soobin asked, petting the yellow haired boy.

"w-well," juju started as he looked up at the elder, "i woke up from my nap a-and jay didn't seem happy..."

juju woke up to the sound of angry voices. he held his stuffie as he cracked open the door of his bedroom.

"you want to fuck him don't you jay?" the voice of daniel spat out with anger and jealousy.

"why does it matter to you daniel? you dont fucking want me so why shouldn't i find someone else?"

jay was now hiding behind the wall in the hallway peering into the living room. the two figures stood tall and hostile. juju knew he shouldn't be listening and that he should have put on his headphones and went back to sleep, but something about this made him want to listen.

"you know yeonjun loves him and you want to hurt him like this? and who said i didn't want you?" daniel said with frustration. he had had enough with the foolish games jay was playing with him. he wanted jay but it always seemed like jay only used him.

"oh please, yeonjun wouldn't know what to do with that man," jay scoffed and rolled his eyes, "you don't give me the time of day daniel. i see the way you look at me, you think i'm disgusting."

daniel quickly grabbed jay's face and smashed their lips together with passion. they had kissed many times before but this time...things were so much different.

they could both feel the emotions they had held back for so long put into this one kiss. they didn't want it to end.

as they pulled apart, both of them with small smiles on their faces.

"i love you jay. i always have and i always will."

"i love you too," jay said with a bright smile and bear hugged the elder.

juju smiled but it didn't last long before he felt someone behind him. he turned around to see a new face staring back at him. a teenage girl stood there with a devious smile.

"hi there," she spoke in a whisper, "i'm yoonhi."

juju stepped back, his back pressed against the wall, "i-im juju."

yoonhi chuckled as she peered into the living room to see daniel and jay cuddling on the couch, "since jay isn't a persecutor anymore i am now taking over."

she looks at the little boy in front of her and laughs sadistically, "i'm going to love this."

juju started to panic as he ran back to his room and locked the door.

soobin couldn't believe it, another alter has surfaced and he found out before yeonjun did yet again.

"s-she's scary," juju said with tears going down his cheeks, "she won't leave hyung alone."

soobin wiped the little's tears, "i will take care of you guys okay juju? i promise."

"pinky promise?"

the little held out his pinky for soobin and the elder smiled while locking their pinky's together, "pinky promise."

soon enough juju was sound asleep next to soobin, his bunny held tightly against his chest. soobin continued to brush his hand through the little's hair.

"i love you juju. i love all of you." soobin whispered before pressing a kiss onto the boy's head.
