You looked out the window at the familiar streets. You could feel your chest tightening with every second. “Breath in… Breath out… Breath in… Breath out…” it’s all you allowed yourself to think, you were terrified of what your ex could do. He wasn't a particularly sane person and he proved it with the last call.

You tightened your fists and felt the tear running down your face. You wiped it quickly hoping none of the men had seen it.

“It will be alright Miss. You have nothing to worry about. I know you must be scared but we won’t let him do anything. We are pros, we kept the boys safe for the longest time and let me tell you, they deal with a lot of crazy shit.” He smiled reassuringly.

“I know… thank you. It’s just… I never thought it would end up like this. He put me through a lot but it was entirely my problem and now.. there are so many people out there worried. You guys came on your day off to deal with this asshole and who knows what kinds of shit he will pull off… It’s a lot.” The car stopped before he could answer your worries.

“We’re here.” Said the driver.

“Okay Miss. This is what we’re gonna do. You will go with me and knock on the doors. We come inside, you take your stuff and we leave. If he does something weird, I’m there to protect you. So please don’t worry. Nothing bad will happen. I promise.” You smiled weakly. You wanted to believe him but the fear was out of your control, you couldn’t help but remember all those times he had hurt you.

You heard the doors open. “Let’s go Miss.”

One more deep breath. You won’t be more ready than this, you stepped out of the car. You felt a big hand on your shoulder squeezing it in a tiny form of comfort.

“This way” you said and lead the man with you. You looked back and noticed one more smoking in front of the car, the rest wouldn’t leave.

“They came because Seokjin specifically requested the 7 of us. I believe he said we would represent each of them since they couldn’t be here themselves. Like any of us could even resemble those fairy boys. Wouldn’t fool a blind person.” He laughed. You were thankful he tried his best to loosen the atmosphere for you because you knew if it wasn’t for him you could not even look in the direction of the place you not so long ago believed was your home.

“1818”* you put the code in and heard the doors open. You noticed your hands were shaking and your mouth suddenly went dry. You wanted to turn around and run, run far away from that place but you didn’t. You pushed doors open and there he was. Sitting on the chair with a smug expression on his face.

He stood up slowly and walked your way smirking. “Well… well… well… look who showed up. Understood where your place is, bitch? You don’t belong with that rich, pansy boy. You belong with me. You. Are. Mine.” He suddenly stopped, for a second he looked confused but quickly regained himself. “I see you got yourself a bodyguard. Baby… why are you so hostile. You know this is where you belong. You might think you’ve got this and you can get out but deep down you know you don’t. Be the good bitch as you are and ask the gentleman to leave.”

You stood frozen in place. You couldn’t move an inch and he kept coming closer and closer. You were terrified. He was right and you know he was. Who were you to believe that you got any chance in life. You were not a fucking princess and JK wasn’t your prince on a white horse. You will take your things and you will go where? You can’t go back to JK, you don’t have money to rent a place and you know no one in the city. Should you stay? Guys helped you so much until now and all that would go to waste but what if… what if you stayed?

“I… I.” You felt your lips move but no sound other than this was coming out of them.

“She ain’t no doing shit you asshole. Move or I will move you and if I do, it’s not going to be pretty. Miss is coming with me and you are not going to talk to her like that. She don’t owe you shit.” The bodyguard moved from behind you and came to your ex who next to a tall and buffed man looked nothing but pathetic. “Miss..” He looked at you. “Please go and take your stuff. I will make sure that piece of trash does not bother you.”

“Who the hell you think you are to order me around in my motherfucking home!” Your ex tried to punch the man but was blocked instantly. In the blink of an eye he was bent over, his arm twisted. He did not look so scary anymore. He got to your head and you hated letting yourself even think that you could go back to this place.

“Give me 10 minutes, there’s not much to take.” You said and started packing a suitcase.

“Take all the time you need Miss. I will take the trash out so you can have some privacy.” They went to another room.

You moved quickly packing everything you needed and some things you didn’t want your ex to have. Your favorite book, your photos, your computer, a few clothes and you were done. It was a little depressing how little you had, you wished it was more difficult to fit everything in. But you were glad this part of your life was being left behind.

You grabbed a couple of last things. “We can go.” You heard the rustling and the bodyguard came to the room smiling. You looked at him and raised your eyebrow.

“He won’t be able to follow us for a while.” He looked oddly proud.

“Did you hurt him?” you asked a little louder than intended.

“Of course not Miss. Just made sure it will be hard for him to leave the room for a while. He’s in one piece, not a scratch on the asshole, I can assure you. Even though I believe he deserves it.” He smiled. “Let’s go?”

You nodded and left without looking back.

You were back in the car. Everyone was congratulating you on being brave and saying you did a good job. And you felt like you did, you let yourself enjoy the moment. You were happy. You were free.

The way back seemed oddly longer than the one to your ex’s. “Where are we going?”

“Oh, the boys didn’t tell you? Seokjin said he already informed you that you will stay with Yungi.”

“My phone battery died a while ago. Did he say… Why Yungi?”  Out of all of the options this was the one you expected the least.

“I’m sorry but I don’t know. Seokjin didn’t mention anything more than that. Should I call him?”

“No, no, it’s okay. Thank you…” You realized you didn’t know his name. “I am so sorry but..”

“Beomgu, nice to officially meet you Miss Y/N” He smiled brightly at you.

“Thank you Beomgu.” You smiled back “Thank you all of you. I am Y/N and I will be eternally grateful for your help. I promise to take you all to dinner anytime in the future for what you did to me tonight.” All of the men cheered happily.

And the rest of your trip passed talking about insignificant topics. You didn’t want to worry anymore. Not today.

“Yes we are almost there. Yep. I told you I don’t. Jimin... stop, don’t be ridiculous. I'm hanging up. Yes, yes we do. YES. Hahaha, me too, me too. Ok. See you soon.” Taehyung smiled widely and looked at you. “They are already there and they ordered us some chicken. You like chicken, don’t you?”

You laughed at his childish reaction to his favorite food. It was absolutely adorable. “Of course I like chicken. Do you know someone who doesn’t? Isn’t it national Korean food? Everyone knows what KFC really stands for.”

“KOREAN” Tap on the driving wheel. “FRIED” Another tap. “CHICKEN” Happy taps filled the car. You laughed out loud. “Oh, we’re here”

You looked outside trying to figure out what part of the city you were into. It didn’t look like a particularly popular area although there were some restaurants nearby. V pulled into some back street and parked his car behind a Japanese restaurant.

“Let’s go eat chicken. Ah, my mood is already so much better.” He smiled widely again.

You smiled back and followed him to the backdoor of the Japanese restaurant.

“Didn’t you say we are going to eat chicken? It doesn’t seem like a place to find one.”

“It’s Jin and his brother’s restaurant. We come here sometimes after closing time if we need some privacy and since it’s his place we can get whatever we want. Including chicken.” Another beaming smile. You couldn’t help but smile with him.

“Here, here!” You saw Jimin waving at you happily. “It just arrived but hurry up before Namjoon eats it all. He already claimed two drumsticks.” You came closer and greeted everyone with a happy hand wave.

You both sat down and ate with everyone, drank some beer and talked about everything but the most pressing subject. As if no one wanted to spoil their favorite meal with a bad mood.

After the last of the chicken was gone Jin brought some soju and put it on the table.

“JK called. He got scolded a lot. Even though Bang PD didn’t find Y/N in his place, he pulled the CCTV footage. He yelled at poor Jungkook for a while and left. I guess he was more disappointed than angry. He said he thought we trusted him. He’s right. We should’ve told him about Y/N living in JK’s apartment.” Namjoon started.

“You say we should’ve told him but he would force us to let Y/N go and move on and you know we couldn’t do it.” Suga defended their decision.

“But… maybe we could’ve told him my situation. I could’ve explained… You guys understood…” You said quietly.

“You again with this nonsense.” V shook his head.

“We really appreciate you sharing your story with us and you know we are doing everything to help you but Bang PD didn’t achieve what he did on compassion and understanding. He is a good man for us but he will also do everything to protect us and our careers. In his eyes you are nothing more but another obstacle and no part of your story would change it.” Suddenly you felt so little. He was right, you don’t know Bang PD and just because they all felt for you and wanted to help you, it didn’t mean anyone else would.

“Suga....” J-Hope took your hand “don’t be so tough on her. I think she understands what you mean, no need to be so cruel.” He looked at you and patted your head. “Here, don’t mind this old grumpy ahjussi. Even though he’s usually this straightforward, he actually means well.”

“Hey! Who are you calling old grumpy ahjussi! You are not much younger yourself.”

“Guys, not the time for your banters.” Namjoon smiled at you. “We thought about this situation and we don’t think it can continue going like this. So, do you have any plan so far?”

“I need to take my things from my old house if they’re still there. I couldn’t make myself pick up the call when he called.”

“You should call him now.” You looked surprised at Jimin. “We are all here with you. There’s no better time to do so.” He smiled reassuringly.

He’s right. Their presence made you a little more confident and it was good to have witnesses in case that piece of shit pulled anything weird. You sighed and took your phone out of the purse with shaking hands. J-Hope patted you on the back and nodded his head.

“Put it on the speaker so we can hear.” Namjoon instructed.

You placed the phone on the table in front of you and dialed “Honey ♡”, your stomach twisted at the sight and your heart stopped beating every time the dial tone rang.

“Haaaaa… you are finally calling me? You fucking bitch. Where the hell are you?” you froze, you couldn’t make yourself speak. You felt J-Hope gently squeezing your arm reassuringly. You took a deep breath.

“I want my stuff back.” Room filled with maniacal laughter from the phone, you were terrified.

“Your stuff? Are you fucking kidding me? Come back home and stop whoring around. If you come back today I might even forgive you for ruining our last dinner.”

“Are you delusional? We are over. I am calling just to let you know that I will come to collect my stuff so tell me when you will be out of the house.” You could feel the anger slowly building up and taking the place of the fear. He was crazy, you couldn’t believe you were with this man for so long.

“You fucking bitch. You think I don’t know what you did with that pussy of a man? Yes, I saw the news. You think you can go and spread your legs for everyone and I will let you make a fool of me? You are the delusional one. Come home and we will talk. I will be waiting. You have one day or I will find you and I will make sure that pretty face of yours is no longer attractive for that fucker.” He finished the call.

No one dared to say the word. No one knew what to say. They all heard your story and they didn’t expect this conversation to be pleasant but no one imagined it would go that far. You were shaking and you were genuinely scared. You knew your ex wasn’t the nicest man and he would lay his hand on you occasionally but you didn’t expect he would threaten you like this. You rather thought he would call and beg you for forgiveness as he used to in the past when you told him you’d leave.

You reached your hand for soju and started pouring it into the biggest cup on the table.

“Stop.” Namjoon took the bottle from you. “Don’t drink, we have to go to him today and take your things. You have to leave that man behind you as soon as possible.”

You laughed. They all looked at you surprised. “Go to him? Have you heard him or was it just me? He’s crazy. He will kill me if I set my foot anywhere near our house.”

“We are going with you, he can’t hurt you.” You looked behind you, Jungkook was standing there, his jaw clenched, ready to fight. “You heard what he said. I can’t let that bastard talk about either of us this way.”

“Calm down JK.” Jin said calmly. “We are going to solve this situation but there will be no fighting.”

“Thank you. Aren’t you already in enough trouble because of me? Can you imagine what will happen if anyone sees you in a fight?”

“Y/N is right. We cannot act impulsively, even though, I believe I speak for everyone in this room, he deserves someone to kick his ass.” Namjoon massaged his temples.

“Ah, just stop acting like Mr. Goody. This piece of trash shouldn’t get away with treating Y/N this way” V jumped in.

“Yeah! I mean look at what he said, no respect whatsoever and threatening an innocent girl? Is he crazy or what?” Jimin seconded.

“I already texted our bodyguards and asked them if they could help us privately with something. We cannot go with Y/N. People will recognize us easily and I am sure this man won’t let her go peacefully. We also cannot let her go alone, not after this call.” Jin looked at you worryingly.

“Good. Y/N… are you okay with it?” Suga asked.

“I am not okay with anything regarding this situation but I think this is the best solution. Thank you.” You looked at your hands, suddenly very, very tired. “Again…” You whispered.

“Heeeey, no problem! We are your friends now and friends help each other. No biggie.” Hoseok suddenly spoke in his usual cheerful voice.

“Exactly! We can help, so we do it. Don’t feel bad for it.” Jimin cheered.

“We have a common enemy now, it helps to form bonds, in games and stuff” V smiled.

“Oh yeah! Look at my handsome face and you will instantly feel better. World Wide Handsome means something after all!” Jin started making funny faces and you couldn’t help but smile at them. You were definitely going to pay them back one day for all the kindness and help you received from every and each one of them.

“Oh, I think hyungs are here.” JK left to the entrance. “Y/N, are you ready?”

“No but how could anyone be ready in my place?” You sighed and went to the car outside the restaurant. There were 7 huge men waiting for you but somehow instead of fear, you felt comforted by their presence. You knew they were your way to the desired freedom.

“Let’s go” you said and the car moved.

You ended up staying at JK’s house for a couple more days. He said he had some urgent schedule to take care of and he would appreciate it if you could take care of Bam while he was away as his usual dog sitter was away. And in return you could use the house but of course you weren’t allowed to go out in case someone noticed you with his dog. So you stayed at the apartament. Cooked. Watched TV and took Bam for walks in the middle of the night wondering what would be your next step to take in regards to your future.

You wanted to find a job but after the scandal broke, people knew your face. BigHit couldn’t control the spread of your pictures and the statement, no matter how good, it didn't help with furious fans. You were now the ‘drunken foreigner who tried to ruin JK’s image’ so everyone advised you to wait a little before you did anything public.

Your things were still at your ex’s house, he tried to contact you a few times but you didn’t have the guts to pick up.

You were scared of your future but at the same time you were really relieved that for this moment you were lucky enough to have a roof over your head and a wonderful Bam to keep you company.

_____________

It was nearly midnight when Jungkook came home. He was visibly exhausted. You asked if he wanted to eat something? He nodded slightly. You prepared a simple meal while he took his shower.

“Thank you Y/N. I can get used to having you here.” He smiled at you.

“Of course you can. Who else will take care of you as well as I do.” You laughed. “Any schedule for tomorrow? You look like you are running on the last percent of your battery. You need rest.”

“There are some things left for me to do. Bang PD suggested that I do live or engage with fans a little to show them some love. They are still a little upset over our last scandal. I should apologize for drinking in public.” He sighed and continued eating in silence. You looked at him concerned.

“I’m sorry… if there’s anything I could do…” You knew there was nothing you could do but you were sure if he asked you to go back in time and fix it, you would find a way to do so.

“Please, don’t apologize. I am a grown man who makes his own choices. I decided that night to step in and take care of your drunken ass.” He smiled. “It was more fun than you think but the consequences… I kind of expected them anyway. I love our fans so much but they can be overprotective sometimes. They just worry about us. I am sorry you were caught up in that.”

“Like it’s your fault. I am just concerned how much longer we will have to function like this. I cannot stay here forever, I already caused too much trouble and being dependent on another person isn’t really what I need right now.” You saw a slight disappointment in Jungkook's eyes, like your words hurt him. “Oh, no, no. Don’t get it wrong. I am eternally grateful for your help and I really hope we can stay in touch but until now all I did was live off of you. I even wore your clothes because all I have is that dress I wore to the club.” You sighed. “I need to at least get my things back.”

“I wanted it to be a surprise. I mean we all did, guys and I got you some clothes and other things we thought you might need because we all thought you wouldn’t want to go back to your old place.”

“JK….” You don’t know what to say and how to feel about it. You were grateful but somehow it made you feel even more like a burden. They shouldn’t have to worry about you and your clothes, they shouldn’t be fixing your mess.

“It’s okay. Let’s just stand a couple more days and this weekend, I will invite guys over so we can all talk about it.” You nodded.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. “Did you expect anyone?”

“No, not really. Let’s just let it ring. I’m not in a mood to deal with anyone.” Jk continued eating like nothing happened but the ringing and knocking got more and more aggressive. “Oh for fucks sake. Wait Y/N, I’ll see who it is.”

You heard doors opening and muffled talk then suddenly Jungkook ran into the kitchen with V behind him.

“Oh, not good, not good, not good.” JK muttered to himself looking terrified.

“What happened?” Your heart was racing.

“Take your purse and let’s go.” You looked at V puzzled. “There’s no time! I will tell you everything on our way.”

You grabbed your purse and ran after distressed V, without even saying goodbye to Jungkook.

The elevator was still on the same floor which seemed to make V slightly relieved.

“Okay. Talk to me. What the hell is happening? Why did we run like our life depends on it?” You asked when the elevator was going down. You noticed Taehyung pressed the 2nd floor button.

“Because it kind of does. In a nutshell- do you know Bang PD? Wonderful man, like a father to us. But he can be really scary when he’s mad and now he is going to Jungkook’s place because he somehow found out you live there and we kind of told him that you came back to your apartment and everything is okay now.” The elevator stopped before you could process what V told you. He grabbed your wrist and pulled you to the staircase. “We can’t risk meeting him in the elevator. We will use stairs.

You went down the stairs all the way to the parking lot where you assumed V left his car.

“Shit, it’s him.” V whispered and pulled you behind the concrete pole. “Quickly, squat.”

You watched a big man walk to the elevator. He didn’t look very angry, if anything you would say he looked like a... friendly bear. You couldn’t believe this man was going to cause anyone as much trouble as V and JK seemed to be expecting.

You felt Taehyung tapping your arm and quietly gesturing to move further from elevators. It all felt so unreal, you wanted to stop and laugh out loud. You were running away from a kind looking man, hiding behind cars like it was ‘Mission Impossible’ and it was all because you decided to spend your birthday drinking with your now ex.

When Tae was sure Bang PD was in the elevator he stood up and pointed at the Genesis car in front of you. “Hop in. We gotta go.”

“Well, that’s an impressive car. Don’t you think that your manager knows what you drive and has seen it on his way to JK, though?” You said as you entered the car.

Taehyung looked at you wide-eyed. “Could you please not stress me even more than I already am? I am saving your butt right now.”

“Are you sure it is my butt you are saving or yours? I don’t have a problem with talking to Bang PD and explaining to him my situation. I am sure he would understand.” You tried to reason but Tae started to laugh.

“You are more naive than I thought. Bang PD may be our manager and be a part of our family but you know, angry family members are scarier than any of those horror movies villains. Trust me, talking to him would do no one anything good. Especially that we lied to him for you”

“I didn’t ask you to lie to anyone for me.” Your pride was hurt, you were getting angry at Taehyun for being this way. You already felt bad for putting them in this situation but it seemed that it was worse than you anticipated.

V looked at you surprised. “Wow. Yes, you didn’t ask us but we thought we did something kind here for you. I expected a different reaction. I’m not gonna lie.”

“You’re right. I am sorry. Do you know how he found out about me living in JK’s apartament? I really did everything not to be seen when I went out with Bam and I am almost 100% sure no one has seen me leaving or entering his place.”

“We think it might be the security ahjussi. I know it might shock you a little but companies like to keep their idols in check and even though we have it relatively good compared to others, they still want to be sure we don’t engage in anything sketchy. So most of the time they will pay someone to deliver the news if anything unusual happens. And a foreign girl leaving Jungkook’s apartament in the middle of the night would be considered just that.”

“Wow, you really can’t catch a break, can you?” You asked and looked out the window deep in the thought. Taehyung didn’t say anything else and turned the music on. Smooth and nostalgic melody filled the car and you wondered what was your next destination.

[TW: swearing, strong language, mentions of abuse]

“Are you out of your fucking mind JK?” said the guy standing the closest to the doors. “Do you know how much trouble you caused yesterday?”

They didn’t wait for the invitation and pushed themselves through the doors.

“Oooooh. Our lovely Bam. How is it possible you grew even bigger than the last time I saw you? Oh yes, yes. Giving so many kisses to your uncle?” One of them laughed sincerely.

You didn’t know what to do, so you stood up waiting. You felt your heart racing. You didn’t know what this was about but you had a hunch it might be related to you and that you got your new friend in trouble.

You heard the sound of them coming in your direction and you hoped to turn invisible. You were scared of what is to come.

“JK, Bang PD is doing everything he can to get the press from posting your pictures from yesterday but…” the tall and broad shouldered man stopped and looked directly at you.

“Hi?” you said and waved awkwardly.

All of them looked at JK with raised eyebrows. It was almost hilarious to see them all do the same face unknowingly.

Jungkook sighed and massaged his temples before he waved at you and said “meet Y/N, she’s the woman from yesterday. She needed my help.”

“Woman from yesterday?” You asked dumbfounded.

“Is she stupid or stupid?” asked the guy who was the shortest but somehow had the most intimidating look among all of them.

“Do you know BTS?” said the guy with broad shoulders.

“Of course I know BTS, who doesn’t know BTS. But why the hell are you suddenly asking about…” You gasped and looked at their faces with wide eyes. That’s why he looked familiar. That was fucking BTS in front of you and you got one of them in scandal. You SLEPT in Jungkook’s bed. You THREATENED Jungkook while being drunk. And now all of them were here in front of you visibly pissed.

You dunked down and hid your face between your knees. What the hell is happening?

“Jin.. I think you broke her.” Someone said worryingly. “You should stop asking everyone this question randomly.”

You felt someone’s arm on your back. You looked up and saw a warm smile and sparkling eyes looking at you.

“I am so sorry for them. My name is Taehyung but you can call me V if you want to. It’s nice to meet you.” You didn’t expect it but he smiled even brighter. You whimpered and hid your face again, it was burning.

“I think we should give her a moment V.” said Jungkook. You could clearly hear the amusement in his voice “Let’s go to the kitchen and talk.”

You didn’t move an inch until you were sure they went away and weren’t looking at you anymore. You collapsed on the floor and hugged Bam who apparently, rightfully so, thought you needed a little comfort. You laid like this for god knows how long, stressed and hungover, trying to hear what they were talking about until you fell asleep still hugging Bam.

_______________

“I know you said she’s not as we think but she really is something else, isn’t she?” someone said, pointing at you sleeping on the carpet hugging a huge brown dog.

Jungkook laughed which made Bom stand up immediately. You woke up and looked around confused. You noticed plenty of feet standing in front of you and slowly looked up seeing BTS members who either looked amused or really angry. You immediately jumped to your feet and mumbled “I’m so sorry.”

“Do you even know what you are sorry for?” the coldness of Suga’s words made you look at him.

“Come on, cut her some slack, Yungi. Maybe we should talk first and hear her out?” RM jumped in before you found any words.

Everyone sat down in the living room but somehow you found yourself in the middle of everyone as if you were put on some kind of trial. You waited for them to speak because in fact you had no idea what happened yesterday but you getting drunk and JK punching your ex. Did he tell someone about it? Or did someone make a video of it? You fidgeted your fingers unconsciously.

“As you probably already noticed we are here because JK got in a lot of trouble because of you. We have to find a way to stop the drama before it starts and we would like to know who you are and why are you even here?” Namjoon looked straight in your eyes, giving you chills down your spine.

“I already told you everything you need to know. She isn’t to blame in this situation.” Jungkook answered for you.

“What do you mean she isn’t to blame in this situation? Is it her in the photos or is it not? Does she not know who you are? She has to be really stupid to put you in a situation like this.” There you go. Suga calling you stupid again. You really felt like he had every right to use those words. How could you not notice who you were dealing with yesterday. How could you be so oblivious?

“I told you to stop calling her that. The fuck you know anything about what happened yesterday so stop acting like you do and blaming the wrong person.” Jungkook almost shouted.

“JK calm down, you know Suga is straighforward and might come off a little rude but he is just trying to understand the situation and you are not giving us anything. How can we help if we don’t know what happened?” said Jimin in his calm voice and looked at you. “That’s why we want Y/N to help us understand.”

“Don’t drag her in this shitshow. She did nothing and she is not part of it.” JK replied.

“I think it is not for you to decide anymore JK, at this point it is her privacy which will be compromised. It will be her who will get dragged down by your fans. So she should decide what she will do. Not you.”

“Sorry JK but Hobi is right. Y/N should decide what she wants us to do and which statement she wants us to release. You should be happy that they haven’t found her online yet.” Jin looked your way. “Y/N… let me put it this way... Yesterday there were fans who photographed you and JK drinking in front of CU. Both of you were clearly intoxicated and you acted a little too… friendly towards JK, which was interpreted as you, I quote, ‘shamelessly flirting with him’. Our label is doing everything to stop the spread of the photos to the public but it’s been more than one source and more than just a couple of photos taken. So it is very possible that we will have to release a statement regarding this situation.”

“We just want to know who you are and what were you doing with JK that night. He said it is not our business...” JK cut Namjoon saying “Because it is not.” “... but to be honest, we just want to protect him and BTS’s image. I am sure you understand.”

“So could you please tell us everything since that densehead won’t?” Suga finished.

You sighed. Of course you had to tell them, they had a right to know but your situation wasn’t something you wanted to share with even more strangers. What were you supposed to tell them? You didn’t want to look like the last loser but at the same time if you didn’t share everything it wouldn’t help Jungkook and he deserved this situation to be taken off of him. After all he did, he shouldn’t have taken the blame for yesterday as well.

You felt the atmosphere tensing with every second. “Y/N… you don’t have to…” Jungkook started saying but you shushed him with your hand.

“I do.” You finally spoke. “You did so much for me since yesterday, I feel like I can do at least this much for you. But before I start, please wait with jumping to conclusions until you hear all the story.”

You talked and talked. You told them how you came to Korea, how you met your ex and how he manipulated you into quitting your job and leaving the town you had all your friends in. How he slowly put you into depression and took advantage of you in every possible way. How toxic he was and finally, how last night he crossed the last limit you had. You talked about JK stepping in and saving you, JK offering to be your drinking buddy and doing everything to make sure you were safe and comforted. You told them how it was your fault you ended up in his house and that you really didn’t know who he was because you never looked at him like someone else but that kind, well drinking guy who knows how to throw a punch for a woman in oppression. And it was only today you realized that he wasn’t just a simple neighbourhood guy. The time went by very fast and you haven’t noticed when the Sun has set while you nodded when Suga said you’re stupid (this time with slight affection in his voice), when you laughed through tears when you noticed V and Jimin hugging and crying over your story. When you thanked Hoseok for the warm hug he gave you and when you smiled at Jin when he gave you sweet and comforting thumbs up.

“Okay, I get it all now. I think we know what to say to the press. I will call Bang PD and tell him my idea but how about you? What will you do now?” RM looked slightly concerned but kept his cool and rational demeanor.

“I don’t know… To be honest, I had no time to think about it…” You looked at Jungkook for some comfort.

“We were about to find a solution when you barged in uninvited. I was just AH! my soup! Y/N you must be so hungry now.” Jungkook’s reaction made everyone laugh and it seemed to loosen up the atmosphere a little bit.

“Honestly, after all this stress I don’t think I need any of the hangover cure anymore” you smiled and just in that moment your stomach gave the loudest growl you have ever heard. Everyone looked at you shocked.

“What was that? Are you growing frogs in your stomach?” V immediately started making fun of you.

“Frogs? I think she ate the thunder” Jimin shrugged.

“Guys, guys! Do you know what language the stomach speaks? HUNGARIAN” Jin jumped in and started to laugh at his own joke.

You were so confused and surprised that you started laughing with him. It made everyone immediately join in. You looked at JK through the tears and noticed him rolling at the ground from laughter.

At that brief moment it seemed that everything would be alright.

You grunted and turned to the side. Your head hurt like crazy and you couldn’t force yourself to open your eyes. You know it will cause even more pain but what are you going to do?

You slowly opened your eyes “Fuck. What the hell did I drink yesterday?” The pain was overwhelming, just as expected. You slowly looked around the room and noticed it isn’t a place you are familiar with. Huge comfortable bed, black and modern furniture and a huge dog staring at you?

“Where the hell am I?” you thought and immediately turned to a dog. “Heeey cutie. Who is such a good doggo? Who is so pretty with his floppy years?” The dog came closer and started to lick your hand.

“His name is Bam, in case you don’t remember.” The owner of the dog came through the door with a tray in his hands. “You really are a heavy drinker. I thought you were exaggerating but you finished almost 2 of my whiskeys. How are you still alive?”

“Am I? Not for long for sure, considering the hangover.” You grunted again and took the juice from the tray. “Oh? Peach Ice Tea? Do you drink this for hangovers too?”

“No.” He laughed. “How much do you remember from yesterday?” You looked at him suspiciously. Yeah.. How much do you remember?

“I remember you saving me from that creepy asshole. Drinking in CU and hmm.. yep. That would be all, I guess. Just cut me some slack will ya, thinking makes me want to jump out of that window right there.” You took your face in your hands and brushed your hair. “I’d be glad if you helped me a little and told me what happened.”

He sat on a chair next to the bed and started to stroke Bam on his head. I don’t think he realized how hot he looked just right now. “Okay but eat those burgers you requested.” You looked at him puzzled and noticed your favorite hangover-cure hamburgers you always eat after heavy drinking. “We drunk some somaek at CU as you wanted, meanwhile you used all curses available in your head to curse that no-good-of-a-man you were with. Then suddenly your mood changed and you wanted to go sing karaoke because I quote ‘I either sing in a karaoke room or here and I am not going to be quiet’, so you kind of left me no choice. We grabbed an ice cream on our way which apparently made you sober enough to want to drink more soju in karaoke. Oh my god, you are a terrible singer but it was nice to see you enjoy yourself for a little before you burst into tears and started to worry you have nowhere to go.” You stopped the burger midway to your mouth and looked at him terrified of where this story was going.

“So as a decent person I suggested I will rent you a hotel room for your safety but you said you’d rather die than go to a hotel with me because you are not a cheap whore and then immediately proceeded to ask if I have a spare room. Which apparently in your drunken head it was safer to follow a stranger to his house than sleep in a nice hotel by yourself. When we finally arrived at my house you were so happy to meet Bam you wanted to spend some more time with him so you made me order pizza and bring the alcohol out. Which we drunk. Mostly you but both of us were drunk, when you FINALLY realized you’ve had enough you claimed the master bedroom and went to sleep. I swear I’ve never met a woman as crazy as you. Oh and the peach ice tea and burgers? You made me sign a paper saying I will provide those to you upon waking up otherwise you are going to get paid in the rest of my alcohol. Which I am happy to share on occasions but you are not drinking anymore of my 500$ whiskeys like ahjussi who hasn’t seen any alcohol in a week.” He finished with a smirk on his face after seeing me stare blankly at a wall in front of me.

“I must be crazy. Why is alcohol doing this to me? I know I don’t have much self-control when it comes to it, especially in such stressful situations like that one but taking advantage of such a nice guy? Inviting myself to his house. Drinking whiskey worth more than anything I have on me at this moment like water AND stealing his room. I have to get out of here or I will die of embarrassment.” You stood up quickly, a little too quickly so you stumbled back on bed.

“What are you doing?” You looked at him. He genuinely looked concerned. It made this whole situation even worse.

“I… I need to go. I am so sooo sorry about last night. I really didn’t mean to cause all of this trouble. Please leave me your account number, I will reimburse you for all you spent yesterday.” You grabbed your purse and moved to the door. He grabbed your wrist.

“Stop. Stop and think for a second, will you?” You stopped and hung your head. “Where will you go? Will you go to that asshole? You told me everything yesterday. How he separated you from all of your friends and moved you to the other part of the country. How you got no job and no money because he took over your account with all the savings you had. What is your plan? I know you must be embarrassed but running away right now won’t do you any good. I prepared some clean clothes for you in the restroom. Go, freshen up and let’s talk. Let’s find some solution together.”

He was right. Of course he was right. If you stepped out of his apartment right now, what were you going to do. You maybe had enough money to use the taxi to go home. Maybe enough to spend one night in a cheap motel and then what? You needed a plan because whatever happened you were not going back to your ex. You didn’t look at Jungkook and moved to the restroom. Shower wouldn’t hurt and maybe while you were there you would find a better solution than using more of this man’s kindness or living on the streets.

As soon as you turned the water on and felt your muscles relax under the hot water you dropped to your knees and started to cry. How did you find yourself in this situation? You didn’t consider yourself a stupid person, you never understood women who got themselves dependend on such toxic men like your ex and yet you were this woman now. He took everything from you. Everything. You had no one but this stranger you met yesterday who showed you more care and kindness than anyone in a while. You hoped that there was some solution to your problems out there and that you were going to find it as soon as possible.

You let yourself cry for a while, until you felt strong enough to leave and face this terrible situation you were into. You wore the clothes Jungkook left for you and smiled because the t-shirt had a cute drawing of a familiar green bottle and said “You got me at soju”. You wondered who got it to him.

You left the restroom and followed the sound of someone singing.

“Oh you’re here. You were taking a while so I thought I might make something a little more nutritious than the burgers you didn’t even touch. It will be ready in a minute.” He turned away and continued cooking.

You moved towards the living room where Bam was laying on a carpet. You looked around at somehow familiar surroundings. It’s a weird feeling to know you’ve seen this place a day before but it feels like you are looking at it for the first time.

The interior was very masculine and modern yet at the same time it felt very warm. There were a lot of personal things that made it feel almost homey, a pillow with a funny picture thrown over the chair. Plenty of dog toys scattered around the floor. Some snacks here and there as if he left them to grab in case he gets hungry in any part of the house. The huge gaming center with any console possible and a karaoke machine under the tv made you smile as well. Of course he would spend his free time playing games. Which man at his age didn’t?

You were teasing Bam and laughing out loud at his funny faces when the doorbell rang. You looked suprised at Jungkook but he just shrugged and mouthed “no idea, wait.” and opened the door. You bent a little to see who it was and there they were. Six very angry men were standing in Jungkook’s doors.

[TW: strong language, swearing, mentions of abuse]

‘Don’t touch me’ you yelled at your boyfriend. It wasn’t the first time he was abusive but it was the first time in public.

It was your birthday and you thought going out to a bar would be a nice way to spend the evening. He was way less likely to put his hands on you in public than in home or so you thought. You’d left him a long time ago but he manipulated you into leaving your job by moving way too far away from it to commute, your friends left behind. You were trapped.

After the second hit you felt the warmth of the blood running down your face. He was so pissed off because you smoked your last cigarette and didn’t have one to share with him. You slid down the wall and crouched hopelessly. You expected him to continue with the abuse but when hits didn’t come you looked up.

Someone was fighting with your boyfriend and yelling curses at him. You didn’t want to bother them, he deserved the beating and the stranger was most certainly winning.

After a moment your boyfriend shouted the last curse and left without even looking back your way. But you didn’t feel bad about it, he won’t be in a good mood today and God knows what he could do to you at home after his pride was hurt like that.

“Miss, are you okay?” a handsome guy around your age crouched next to you. You looked at his face and you were sure he would find some bruises in the morning. You tried to smile thankfully but you immediately flinched from pain finding your lips were cut.

‘It’s okay, don’t talk for now. Calm down a little. Everything is okay.’ He took the handkerchief from his pocket and started to wipe your face gently. This gesture made you somewhat peaceful. It was nice to feel cared for at least just for a moment. Your piece of trash boyfriend didn’t even pretend anymore that he cared.

‘Thank you.’ You whispered.

‘Don’t mention it. Everyone would do it in my place.’ He smiled reassuringly.

‘You would be surprised. People don’t like to butt in in others' business, even if it means actually helping them.’ He looked surprised but didn’t say anything. He helped you to get up and made sure you are okay standing on your own. ‘Don’t worry. It’s not that bad, he's a real piece of shit but he has some scraps of self control.’

‘Who is he to you?’ The question didn’t surprise you and you felt like not answering the question wouldn’t be fair after he just helped you.

‘He’s my hopefully soon to be EX-boyfriend.’ You saw his confused look and chuckled. ‘Sometimes leaving is not as easy as they say. Especially in a case like this.’ You sighed and pointed your head at a nearby convenience store. ‘I need a drink. Do you want to join?’

He shrugged his arms. ‘Sure, why not. Soju?’

‘Nope. It’s either somaek* or nothing.’ You laughed. ‘By the way, my name is Y/N’ you streched your hand to give him a handshake.

‘Junkook, nice to officially meet you.’ He gave you a bright smile.

Kocham Cię

Pożegnanie.

-Kocham Cię. - powiedział Loki uśmiechając się delikatnie. Wziął twoją twarz w ręce i zbliżył się do pocałunku, ale odtrąciłaś ją i spojrzałaś mu głęboko w oczy.

-Nie, Loki. Żadnego „kocham Cię”, to nie jest koniec, rozumiesz? - nie odpowiedział, pocałował Cię w czoło i wepchnął Cię w portal, który zniknął w tym samym momencie, nie było powrotu. Upadłaś na kolana szlochając i nie wierząc, że to zrobił. Zostawił Cię. I nie miało znaczenia to, że tym samym ocalił Ci życie i poświęcił siebie dla Twojej planety. Chciałaś zginąć z nim, walczyć ramie w ramię, ale Loki nie chciał tego słuchać. Jesteś dla niego całym światem dla którego poświęcił się bez chwili wahania, bo wierzył, że odnajdziesz szczęście, podczas gdy on nigdy nie wybaczyłby sobie, gdyby z jego winy stała Ci się krzywda. Nie udało mu się ochronić żadnej osoby, którą kochał, oprócz Ciebie. To, że zginie nie miało znaczenia jeśli Ty żyjesz.
