Chapter 30

Taehyung POV

Squeezing my eyes shut as I slowly feel myself regain consciousness, I can already feel a pounding headache coming on. I sigh quietly, not wanting the headache or any of this.

Though, I soon realize that someone's laid in bed with me right now, someone that's not Yoongi. Thankfully, I know that it's not the delicate hands that I would've been so afraid to see again. However, I'm much too out of it to recognize who the hands that are wrapped around my waist belong to, reluctantly turning myself over in their arms to find the culprit.

Almost instantly, I'm met with a small smile from the brunette boy that's only a couple months older than me. Jimin reaches up, gently brushing my longish dark brown hair out of my eyes for me.

"How're you feeling, Tae?" Jimin asks softly, the care in his eyes clear as day. I just purse my lips, lowering my gaze as I shrug.

"Eh. Where's Yoongi hyung?" I mumble quietly, nuzzling my head into his chest a bit since he's moved himself to be able to be face to face with me. He sighs softly, gently running his fingers through my hair and playing with it just the way I like.

"You know we're all really worried about you, Tae. We all wanna help as much as we possibly can. And I really wanna make it up to you for how I treated you, when you were always by my side when I was struggling." Jimin says in a quiet gentle tone. I just hum softly in response, not in the mood for talking once more but disliking the fact that I most definitely did not get an answer.

"We thought we'd all kinda take turns as we liked, so that we could all be here for you and help you. That way Yoongi hyung and Hobi hyung aren't doing all the work. That way we can all show you that we meant our apologies and that we really do care about you." Jimin explains after a couple more minutes of silence. I purse my lips, letting my eyes fall shut once more.

I'm not entirely the biggest fan of that idea, in all honesty. I don't really want Namjoon hyung around me right now with everything that's going on. He never really properly apologized for not helping me or treating me better, and I don't think he really gets just how shitty I feel. I trust Jiminie to understand me right now, that he wants to help as much as possible. I fully believed Hobi hyungs apology, even if I never admitted it or said it aloud. I've known since before I left that Jungkook was sincere in apologizing and wanting to help, and obviously I believed Yoongi's apology as well.

I just prefer having Yoongi and Hobi around me rather than the others. Hobi seemed really sincere and understood that I needed someone to actually care and support me when he apologized. And I know Yoongi was sincere in his apology, I know he understands just how low I'm feeling and just how much I'm struggling to remain afloat right now. I'd just rather have their company and support, trusting them a bit more than the others in all honesty.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts though, when my phone begins ringing. I frown, pulling away from Jimin a bit as I reach for the device from under my pillow.

"Who is it?" Jimin asks curiously, a confused frown on his face as well.

Glancing down at the caller ID, my frown deepens. Sighing softly to myself, I don't bother answering Jimin as I pick up the call and reluctantly place the device against my ear.

"Why are you calling?" I question, though it comes out as more of a statement due to just how dead I really sound.

"Tae? Holy shit, I didn't think you'd actually answer."

I close my eyes at the sound of her voice, laying my head back down and resting my forehead against Jimin's chest.

"Either tell me why you called or I'm hanging up. I'm fucking done wasting my time." I repeat quietly, wanting less and less to be on this call.

"Tae, I'm so sorry for what happened the other day. I promise I can explain what happened, because it's not what it looked like. But I really need your help right now. Please." She says in a pleading tone.

"What do you want?" I mutter before biting my lip, feeling tears slowly beginning to form.

"This is gonna sound bad, but I promise you I've got an explanation for everything." She responds in a quiet tone.

"Answer the question, Miyeon." I tell her, feeling like I'm wasting my time.

"I need you to come to the police station. Please, Tae, I've got a younger sister to take care of. I need you to bail me out."
