I placed my hands on his, removing them from his head, and pulled his face up to look at me.

"I-I'm sorry y/n... I didn't mean it, " he said softly, and tears threatened to spill over.

"It's okay, I know you didn't. I'm sorry I acted that way, " I say, hugging him and rubbing his back to make sure he knows I forgive him.

"You shouldn't be sorry. It's a natural response from what you've gone through... I won't do it again, " Yeonjun says, looking up at me before engulfing me in a tight bear hug.

"Great, now that THIS problem is resolved, y/n care to explain about the bruises," Soobin says, getting up as I turn to look at him with a raised eyebrow. Knowing they weren't going to let it go, I give in.

"Fine, but can we go sit down. The floor is starting to hurt, " I say, getting up and walking to sit on the couch. They follow but don't sit. They all just stand in front of me as I look at them a little intimidated.

"Go on," Soobin says, crossing his arms

"Ah, okay, fine. So the one on my wrist was from a kid that was trying to get my number last night, I rejected and started walking away but he grabbed me obviously really hard trying to get me to go with him." I explained, trying to avoid their blazing eyes.

"And your neck?" Tae asked.

"My dad's friend grabbed me by my neck after I slapped him," I say, fiddling with my fingers as the fire in their eyes grew at my words.

"Why did you slap him?" Kai asked.

"He..." I say but stopped looking at the floor, no wanting to say what he did.

"He," Gyu asked next.

"He touched me after I warned him... so I slapped him." I say, glancing at them, hear and there.

"Ugh, these dirty men," Yeonjun says, placing a hand on his hip and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I'm sorry you have to keep going through this y/n, and I'm sorry we are never there to protect you," Soobin says, kneeling in front of me, placing a hand mine.

"It's okay, I'm used to it at this point. And it's not your responsibility to protect me. I've made it this far, " I say, smiling at them, trying to get them out of this anger and sad mode.

"But y/n, it not something you should be used to -" Kai tries to say, but I cut him off

"Okay, stop being so sad. If I'm okay, then it's okay. Let's watch a movie. I'm getting bored, " I say, jumping up and heading to the pantry to get the popcorn and make it.

I put a bag of popcorn in the microwave and went back out to the living room. Seeing them extended the couch bigger so we could all sit or lay down as we watched the movie.

"Pick a movie. I'll be right out with the popcorn and other snacks." I say, catching their attention and the nod in agreement. I go back into the kitchen after hearing the microwave stop.

I take out the bag and replace it with another bag. I take out two bowls for the popcorn. I also pull out a tray to put a few soads and other snacks on it.

The rest were just talking and laughing in the living. It sounded like Jiwoo was beating Beomgyu up again because he screamed like a little girl.

I finished filling up the two bowls of popcorn. I stared at them, trying to figure out how I would balance the tray of drinks and snack in one and the popcorn. Before I became an acrobat, Kai came into the kitchen.

"Don't worry, I'll help. You just get the popcorn," Kai says, grabbing the two trays and I pick up the popcorn. He waited for me to get the popcorn and let me go first, as he followed behind me.
