Aera was studying in her room, fully focused forgetting her surroundings.
Her school life was going pretty well.
No one disturbed her.
Nia was quite distant from her, which made her relieved.
The sudden ringing of her phone startled her.
She frowned.
No one except her brothers, Suno and Chan have her number.
It was an unknown number.
She hesitated but attended the call.
She waited for the person to speak.
"Hello", a man's voice could be heard.
"Yes?", She answered.
"There's a missed call from this number around half an hour ago", the man said.
Aera's frown deepened.
She certainly didn't call anyone.
"Sorry, sir. You must have mistaken. This is the wrong number", she said and hung up immediately.
She breathed out in relief.
She took the pen in her hand when the phone rang again.
The same number.
She decided to attend the call for the last time, whatsoever.
"You know it is wrong to cut the call in the middle of a conversation?", the man asked.
"But I don't need to have a conversation with you. Please contact the right person", she said and hung up again.
She couldn't even keep her phone down when the same person called again.
She blocked the number.
"Finally! I can be at peace with my cutie chemistry", she said to herself and started to study.
Few minutes passed when her phone rang again.
It was a new number.
She was utterly confused.
She picked up the call, ready to hang up any minute.
"I bet you have a nice pretty puss-", she hung up again.
She blocked the number.
By now she was confused and frightened.
Few minutes later, another call, another number.
That's it.
She didn't pick up the call.
It was followed by few messages.
'Your voice sounds sexy. Attend the call. We can have some fun.
I want to taste you. Can we have a video call?
Tell me your location, hottie. Till then, I won't stop.
I hope you are a virgin. I want to fuck you so hard for the first time.
Send me your picture. Without clothes is good.
If you dare to tell this to anyone, I'll say you seduced me and you know people won't believe a sexy little girl like you.
I know you can do better. Let me fuck you'
"Stop it, stop it", she screamed but no voice came out.
She knew this person won't leave her alone.
Her tears threatened to spill.
She was facing something like this for the first time.
She wiped her tears with the hoodie paws she was wearing.
She took her phone and ran downstairs.
She stopped infront of the meeting room as she knocked on the door.
Her phone was ringing continuously.
Jungkook opened the door.
Before he could understand what's happening, she launched herself on him.
He held her tight as he understood something was wrong.
He picked her up in his arms, as he closed the door and went inside the room.
Others were shocked to see her condition.
She was perfectly fine when she left to study.
Her phone.
It rang again.
Jungkook sat her down on the table, as her brothers surrounded her.
She was crying and shaking in Jungkook's arms.
Jungkook looked lost.
"My sweet baby, what's wrong?", Jimin yelled rubbing her back.
She could only cry.
"Give her some time. She should relax", Namjoon said.
But his eyes contradicted his words.
They were dark and deep.
He won't leave anyone for making his little one cry.
Anyone.
Aera hiccuped as her shiverings reduced.
Her body was coated with sweat.
She was so scared.
Those disgusting words made her feel sick.
She felt breathless.
Yoongi saw her condition and ran out.
He ran in with her inhaler.
"Easy, kitten. Relax", He shook the inhaler.
Jungkook backed away a little, but had his arms around her.
Taehyung kept her head steady as Yoongi gave her three puffs.
Jin rubbed her chest as her breathing became normal.
She fell against her youngest brother, devoid of any energy.
Finally, she could be at peace knowing that nothing or nobody can touch her.
Hobi took her phone away from her hands and kept it aside, silencing it.
Jungkook was silently crying seeing her condition.
"Princess, baby, will you come to oppa?", Jin asked extending his arms.
She could only nod as he took her in his arms.
She tightened her hold on him.
He hugged her like a koala, walking around the room, pacifying her like he used to do.
"Come here", Hobi said as he wetted the tissues with the glass of water.
Jin went near him, as Hobi moved the hair away from her face.
He caught her chin and wiped her face with a smile.
"Everything is fine, my angel. Don't worry as long as we are here", he said giving a kiss on her head.
She nodded her head meekly.
Namjoon was soothing the youngest boy, who seemed fine now.
Taehyung and Jimin were standing there, leaning against the table with glares fixed on nowhere.
Yoongi made her drink a glass of water.
Jin went another round around the room, rubbing her back.
"I'm fine now Oppa", she managed to speak finally.
"We are relieved", Jin kissed her head a couple of times.
"Can you tell us what happened?", Taehyung asked.
"Mhmm", she nodded her head.
Jin made her sit on a chair, but she caught his hand, shaking her head.
He smiled a little, as he sat down, taking her on his lap.
He back hugged her and placed a kiss on her head.
Yoongi and Hobi pulled the chairs in either sided to sit closed to her.
Namjoon and Jimin stood beside them, while Jungkook and Taehyung sat on the table infront of her.
"U-umm, oppa...I was s-studi-", she began fiddling with her fingers.
"Hey, relax kitten. Don't be scared. We are ready to listen. Take your time", Yoongi took her palms in his and gave them a squeeze.
She took a deep breath.
"An unknown number called me. He said there was a missed call from my number half an hour ago. I swear oppa, I didn't call anyone. Please-", she was desperate to make her point.
"We believe you", almost everyone said.
Her eyes almost teared up.
She composed herself and continued, " I said it's the wrong number and hung up. But he called again. I attended and told him off. I blocked the number when he called again. Three times from this number. I was relieved. But again there was a call from a new number. I attended the call and...and", she gulped down her words.
"Did he say something? Or behaved rude?", Jimin asked kneeling beside her, trying to make eye contact as she was looking down.
She nodded her head.
"It's ok, if you don't want to tell-", Jin caressed her arms.
"No oppa. I wanted to let it out, but don't know how to. You are the only people I can share these things with", she said covering her face with her hands.
"Little one. We won't judge you or take anything personally for the things he did. You have all the freedom to vent out. Don't take these things to your head. Take your own pace and time", Namjoon said running his hands through her hair, making her visibly relax.
She sat there in the same position for some time, still not understanding how people could talk like that.
Was she overreacting?
She didn't know.
But her inside felt sick and uneasy.
She finally looked up as her lips quivered.
"Babygirl", Taehyung bent down hugging her forward as she stood up, standing between his legs, fisting his shirt in her hands.
''Oppa! It makes me feel disgusted", she cried as he hugged her tight, as his hands went inside her hoodie, drawing circles in her back.
Almost everyone's eyes welled up at her statement.
"No, bunny. You shouldn't be disgusted or be sad. Nothing is your fault. Nothing was in your control", Jungkook spoke up wiping his tears.
"Shh! It's okay, it's okay. We are here. Calm down", Tae kissed her head, holding her more tightly.
His tight grip around her made her feel safe.
Why should she cry for a random person?
For his useless words?
She calmed down.
She rubbed her nose against his shirt as he smiled and handed her a tissue.
She blew her nose and tossed it aside.
"He said...my princess part should be pretty and nice. I hung up immediately", she whispered, her face buried into Tae's chest.
Her voice sounded muffled, but the storm in their eyes indicated that they understood her.
The glass of water that Jungkook was holding, cracked under the pressure, but he kept it away before he can break it.
"Listen up baby. Don't worry about what he said. He must be a worthless scumbag who was fucking around. I will assure you that he won't disturb you and he will be punished for his actions", Jimin said as his possessive nature jumped out.
How fucking dare that fucker say those words to his little baby!
"Oppa, he didn't stop with that. He sent me tons of messages that I didn't even read fully. I think this is not the first time for him to disturb someone. It looks like he has an experience in this. You can use these messages as evidence against him. Get him punished, oppa", she said finally looking at them.
"As you said, kitten", Yoongi nodded his head.
"I think I am okay now, oppa", Aera nodded her head.
"You sure? You want to speak more?", Jin asked worried.
"No. I'm fine", she said.
"If you want to tell us something, don't hesitate. Okay?", Hobi asked.
"Okay. I'm going to shower now. Guess I'm sweaty", she mumbled.
She went out.
"Jimin, go with her. She could need help. Put her to sleep straight after the shower and come here", Jin said taking her phone.
Jimin rushed after her.
As soon as the door closed, Namjoon threw the Ac remote, making it break into pieces.
Jin connected the phone to the projector.
He went to the call history.
10 missed calls.
"Note down all the three phone numbers", he ordered.
"Messages", Jungkook said.
He was no longer the Maknae Jungkook.
He was the devil himself.
Jin opened her messages.
20 new messages.
Each passing message riled up their inner devil.
Taehyung wanted to puke.
Humans were the most disgusting creature he knew.
They wanted to destroy everything that was in their reach, but it won't be useful.
This anger should be used on the right person.
There was even an image included in her message.
They winced and cursed at the sight.
Disgusting!
That low life had sent the picture of his private part to her.
They thanked the heavens, that Aera ran to them at the right time.
Jimin came in after a while.
The others already got his information.
He was a random fucker, who would dial random number to catch some girls.
And unlucky enough, he got Aera's number in one of the trials.
She would be the last person he would call.
"She is asleep", Jimin said.
Jin handed him Aera's phone.
Jimin went through everything and he was about to break her phone, when Hobi caught his hand.
"It's her favourite", Hobi reminded him.
Jimin screamed in agony and anger.
"Shouldn't we give a call to the person who was desperate enough to give her 10 missed calls?", Taehyung asked as his lips held a mischievous smirk.
"Why not?", Namjoon agreed.
Jimin dialled the number and put the call on speaker.
Within two rings, the man picked up.
"I know you will obey me. So tell me hottie. Tonight. At your place? Or my place?", He questioned.
"How about our play room?", Jungkook questioned.
"Wait- who are you? Pfft. Let me guess. You must be that hottie's nerdy boyfie? Listen here little boy, I will take her for a single night. Then she's all you-", the man was startled with sudden laughters.
"How many of you are there?! Don't tell me she is a who-", he screamed in pain.
"What you did was not any less than a sin! How fucking dare you to hurt my baby bird?!!", Suno's voice could be heard on the other side.
Soon the line went silent.
"He'll be there tonight, boss", Suno ended the call.
"We'll be having a full meal tonight boys", Yoongi said checking his new dagger.
