YOONGI
Hey :)
YOONGI
How are you feeling?
SEOKJIN
I'm alright, baby
SEOKJIN
Why do you ask?
YOONGI
You've been acting strange the past week
YOONGI
I just wanted to make sure you were doing okay
SEOKJIN
I'm alright, Yoongi, don't worry about me
YOONGI
I don't wanna be a pest, but something tells me that's
not 100% true, hyung😕
YOONGI
What's wrong?
YOONGI
Does it have to do with Jungkook? Or Yumin?
YOONGI
I've noticed she and you have been really close recently
YOONGI
Is it Yumin?
SEOKJIN
Give me a chance to type out a single text and I
might be able to tell you🤦🏻♂️
YOONGI
Sorry😅
SEOKJIN
Yes, it has to do with Yumin
SEOKJIN
I'm trying to figure a few things out, but I think I'll be okay
YOONGI
What're you trying to figure out?🤨
YOONGI
Are you interested in Yumin-ah?
SEOKJIN
Well, it's no secret that we're close, now is it?
SEOKJIN
I've been home for two months and she's become a lot like
family in that small period of time
YOONGI
We all consider her family, hyung
YOONGI
Look how much she's done for us
YOONGI
But, I don't think that's what's on your mind?
YOONGI
You like her, don't you?
SEOKJIN
That's what I'm trying to figure out...
SEOKJIN
I don't know if I'm just attached to her or if I want to be
with her
SEOKJIN
I know for sure that I'm attracted to her...no doubt about that
YOONGI
Maybe this is a conversation you should have with her?
YOONGI
She could be struggling with the same thing
YOONGI
Have you considered that it might just be an odd feeling
towards her because of everything going on??
YOONGI
We are going through a lot right now
SEOKJIN
Everything going on right now just makes me want
her in any way I can get her
SEOKJIN
I've rarely met another person like her; I can't let her
go if she's this valuable to us
SEOKJIN
And I'm not thinking of her as property, not like a valuable
possession
SEOKJIN
She's perfect
SEOKJIN
From her physical appearance to her personality
SEOKJIN
I don't know, Yoongi
SEOKJIN
I just want her
SEOKJIN
I just don't know what that means for us though
YOONGI
I think you know exactly what that means, hyung :)
YOONGI
I say take your time in thinking things over...
YOONGI
And, then maybe talk to Yumin about it?
YOONGI
You'd be surprised at how easy it is to talk to her
SEOKJIN
Yeah, okay :)
SEOKJIN
Hopefully, I don't upset her more than she already is...
SEOKJIN
I've seen her angry, and I do not like it😬
YOONGI
What's wrong with Yumin?🤨
SEOKJIN
I told her I'd wait to tell you guys, but I mine as well
say something before it's too late
SEOKJIN
Yura's back in the picture
SEOKJIN
Yumin saw him at Rachel's court case.
SEOKJIN
She wants to do things her way to keep him away from us,
but something tells me she's going to slip up
YOONGI
Fuck
YOONGI
I thought we'd have more time than this
SEOKJIN
So did I :(
SEOKJIN
What're we gonna do? We need to get Yura arrested
YOONGI
I know
YOONGI
I've been talking to Kiana privately about it for
weeks now
YOONGI
She knows Yumin isn't going to do anything on her
own, so we've got to nudge her in the right direction
SEOKJIN
Does she still have feelings toward Yura?
SEOKJIN
If she truly hated him, he'd be behind bars already
YOONGI
I can't speak for her, but that's what I'm assuming
YOONGI
Kiana says she's attached to who Yura used to be, and
maybe she thinks the old him will resurface
YOONGI
But, I've been around for three years, and I don't think
that's ever going to happen
YOONGI
Not unless he gets serious psychiatric help.
SEOKJIN
Yumin mentioned earlier that he needs some help :/
SEOKJIN
The best thing for everyone right now is if we get Yura
arrested, that way he can get help, and Yumin's no longer
in danger
YOONGI
Kiana and I have been discussing this for years
YOONGI
Let us handle it, then I'll get back to you
YOONGI
And then we'll break it to Yumin as gently as possible
YOONGI
I know she's not going to be happy that we're going
behind her back 😕
SEOKJIN
It's for her safety
SEOKJIN
She'll thank us later

YOONGI
Jin knows what's going on
YOONGI
Yumin trusts him enough to tell him about Yura
YOONGI
And he's back in the picture now😐
KIANA
Yura?
YOONGI
Yeah
KIANA
Fuck, so we need to act now
KIANA
And fast
KIANA
Rachel leaked your address to Yura; that means he knows
where Yumin is
KIANA
He's taking his time
YOONGI
He's getting a little closer
YOONGI
He was at Rachel's court case
YOONGI
Yumin said he was watching her, but then he
just up and left without saying anything
KIANA
He's going to mess with her for a little bit before
actually coming to do anything
KIANA
With his mindset, I think if he taunts her enough,
he thinks Yumin might slip up and do something
that'll play right into his hands
YOONGI
It's a good thing you've been around since the
beginning
YOONGI
Yumin's not gonna like it, but we've got to file
a report against him
YOONGI
A restraining order won't do anything
KIANA
Is Seokjin going to help?
YOONGI
Yes, but he's got something else on his mind at
the moment
YOONGI
We'll handle Yura
YOONGI
I've already gotten a lawyer that'll help us
KIANA
And, I have years of evidence against the sick
bastard
KIANA
Even if Yumin gets upset about this, her phone is
chock-full of shit that we can use to get Yura locked
up
KIANA
I'm tired of knowing he's still out there without even
a restraining order
KIANA
The hardest part about this will be getting Yumin to
testify AGAINST him
YOONGI
I'm sure with some persuasion, I can get her to testify
YOONGI
After all, it's no longer just for her safety
YOONGI
It's for all of ours
YOONGI
Including yours, Kiana
KIANA
I know, I know
KIANA
Ever since I made that call to the cops, Yumin's
been on my ass about him coming after me🙄
KIANA
I'm well aware that I'm in danger, but I'd rather it
be me than her
KIANA
She's been through enough already
YOONGI
I'd rather no one be in any danger
YOONGI
That's why we've got to move quickly
KIANA
I've got work until four; meet me at my place around
five and we can go over everything without Yumin
catching wind
YOONGI
You don't think she'll get suspicious?
KIANA
Depends, but she knows neither one of us would ever
do that to her :/
YOONGI
You're right
YOONGI
I'll see you in a few
KIANA
See ya

Yoongi slid into the kitchen to offer me a quick kiss on the forehead before rushing outside. As he slammed the front door shut, the house's foundation rumbled amongst the sound of his footsteps taking the stairs one at a time. The Audi revved in the driveway and soon I was left in nothing but silence, signaling that the brunet had completely left the property. My heart began to sink down in my stomach as I pondered all the reasons for his sudden disappearance; I took a quick sip of water from my glass before getting out of my seat and refilling it at the fridge.
"That better be just water," a voice sounded from behind me.
I spun on my heel to find Seokjin leaning against the entrance to the kitchen, arms crossed over his broad chest while his gaze roamed freely over my body. With a quick toss of my wrist, I set my drink down on the kitchen island while I wiggled into my seat. "Just water," I assured him. "I don't think I'm going to be drinking for a while." While I leaned forward in my seat, the brunet took the empty one to my right. His hips swiveled in my direction, arm propping him up on the counter as he watched me with an expressionless gaze.
"Yumin-ah?"
"Hmm?"
My eyes snapped up from the countertop to his, watching as they swirled with unreadable emotions. Seokjin leaned forward until he completely slipped from his seat. He stood mere inches from me, my fingers tapping nervously on my glass as it ran thick with condensation. "Do you...know, by any chance, where Yoongi ran off too?" I could see the confusion lining his face once I spoke, his cheeks flaming red as he cleared his throat and shook his head.
"All he said was that he'd be back. Do you think it's important?"
All I could do was shrug; I had no clue where the brunet had run off to, but I trusted him enough not to worry about his intentions. Slowly, I edged closer on my seat until I could rest my forehead against Jin's toned abdomen, feeling warmth flood my system as his arms draped over my shoulders and pulled me closer.
"Yumin," he muttered once more. I fisted the back of his shirt, feeling my energy from throughout the day begin to fade away as I ran fluid in his embrace. "You know I care about you, right?"
A nod. I couldn't muster up enough strength to voice even a, "Yes," but the brunet seemed satisfied with any reply as his fingers ran through my fluffy hair.
"I care about you a lot, angel. More than I can say."
"Mmh." I pulled Jin closer until his knees pressed into my inner thighs. Before I could rethink anything, the words tumbled from my lips, sending shivers running up and down his body.
"I love you."
Seokjin paused for a moment as his hands went rigid along my backside. "Are you sure you haven't been drinking?"
"I think so..."
Pulling away, the brunet gathered my face gently between his palms. He raised my head so that I could look him in the eyes, my body feeling limp and warm as I leaned into his touch.
"Yumin, tell me if you've been drinking. I don't want to have this discussion while you're intoxicated."
"I promised you guys I would stop drinking and I'm not going to break it."
"Well...thank you, but are you sure you wanna say that so soon?"
I didn't know whether he meant my promise or the fact that I'd told him I loved him without a second thought. Seokjin had become family to me in the past few months and after all the hell we'd gone through together, there was no way that I couldn't mean it.
"I'm really sorry for everything, Jin. I know all you want to do is keep us safe and I'm making it so much more difficult."
He continued to hold my face in his hands, rubbing his thumb along my cheek in a soothing manner until my eyelids felt heavy. "Look, I know this is a lot for everyone; trust me when I say I understand that this is difficult for you of all people, but we've got to go through with this Yumin. Once everything is settled, then we can all finally start working on getting better." Leaning close, Seokjin's lips brushed against the lobe of my ear, his breathing soft as it ran cool down my neck. "You can finally be happy with us."
The idea of finally settling down with Yoongi, Jimin, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Seokjin brought a smile to my flushed face; I wouldn't have to worry about either of my abusers, my thoughts filled with nothing but my family to worry over instead of all of this hell. My hands tightened around Seokjin's backside as I urged my hips closer to his, my mind running rampant with thoughts of the both of us. I wanted him closer, in an even more intimate manner, our skin pressed together with sweat, our hands locked together, breath wafting down each other's necks. Just having him within an inch of me drove me crazy and I flushed an even darker red at the thoughts I mustered up with him right in front of me. His hand reached up to pet my head, my forehead resting against his abdomen.
"I'll go through with it," I mumbled. "It's the best thing to do for everyone. I just want you to be happy, Seokjin."
With a nod, the discussion of Yura ended without his name even being uttered. I felt my heart constrict in my chest as I imagined the abusive brunet finally being forced behind bars; maybe he would even be sent to therapy of some sort, just something to help with his horrific mindset. It made me uncomfortable to think of life without always looking over my shoulder. I'd be able to give myself fully to my partners without feeling the tiny pin-prick of guilt in my core over Yura. I still loved him and everyone knew that, but this was the final straw. If it was cut and our ties were finally burned loose, then maybe I'd be able to move on.
"I already am happy, angel, but you know why I want to help you. This isn't just for your safety anymore. It's for all of us."
A moment ticked by where I simply stared off into the distance, my thoughts resting momentarily on every man that lived under the same roof as I. Yoongi, who'd fled the house in an upbeat manner and sped off without another word. Jimin, the blonde was the kindest and most gentle towards anyone no matter the situation. I'd had the intention of abandoning him completely and he'd knocked me down on the floor only to press his lips harshly against mine and mutter how much he loved me. My stomach swarmed with butterflies at the thought. Taehyung, the man who'd showed nothing but a hard shell for the past several weeks out of defense for him and his boyfriends, but in reality had been breaking down and eventually softened until every emotion could be seen on his face. I remembered him offering to bring me dinner while I was wrapped up in his hyung's arms, his touch gentle and comforting as he rubbed his thumb along my cheek. Jungkook, who'd continued to bottle up his feelings over Rachel, Yura, myself, in his own home, refusing to let anyone see him break down over his stress-filled thoughts. I pitied the brunet despite his efforts to seem brave, understanding what it was like to once be in his shoes as I battled my life with Yura. And, finally, Seokjin; the oldest stood tall and quiet before me, hands absently running through my hair as he leaned close to hug me against his chest. I savored the mind-numbing scent that lingered on his clothes and let my eyes fall shut as I hummed under my breath. I felt that I could offer up my whole existence into his hands and not be judged, not be stripped naked in a spotlight, and have all my vulnerabilities at stake. He would protect me, I know he would, and I would be sure to do the same.
"Thank you so much," I heard him utter. It felt as if the same words were lingering on the tip of my tongue, but he'd beat me to the punch.
"You have nothing to thank me for."
"I have a lot to thank you for, precious."
The nickname he spoke so softly in my ear sent bolts of heat through my stomach and I hummed softly against his stomach. Feeling his hands tug at my hair, his breath wafting down my flushed neck, took my thoughts far from the current matter at hand, leaving me feeling dirty and ashamed as I pressed my face further into his shirt.
I didn't know whether or not I was developing emotions out of desperation, or my desire to keep Seokjin safe and happy had grown and twisted into something more. How much I wished he would force me beneath him, make my back arch with pleasure as I whined his name in his ear. Shivers ran down every inch of my body at the thought and I pressed my thighs together to keep myself composed. Despite the more important situation, the back of my head was full of intimate thoughts of me and the brunet together, from me begging and pleading for his touch as needy whimpers slipped from my bruised lips to him comforting me in the dark as I cried into his arms, his hands fisting the back of my sweatshirt as he whispered sweet words into my ear.
With a sigh, I shimmied off of my seat and stood at my full height to press myself close to Seokjin's chest. His arms tightened around my waist, accepting me into his embrace as he nuzzled affectionately into my neck.
"How about we have a peaceful night?" I offered. "You've been through a lot."
"Not as much as you've been through."
"You guys have been taking care of me since we first met; it's my turn to take care of you."
Seokjin chuckled in my ear, a deep rumble that sent butterflies flitting through my stomach.
"I think I'd like that, baby."
