Only Six

XXXIX

Ten hours.

Ten hours of lies.

Ten hours of truth.

Ten hours of arguing.

Ten hours of trying to get Elyn.

Ten hours sitting in a court house listening to my aunt "defend" her case. Raising her voice and messing up her own lies. Thankfully the judge knows both English and Korean so translators are not an issue.

Ten nail bitingly long hours of sitting in the same room as Elyn and not being able to go hug her and tell her everything is going to be alright.

Everyone is here with me. Namjoon, Jin, Yoongi, Hobi, Tae, Jimin, Yoonhee, Eonjin, even Woosung is here. The only person we are missing is Jungkook and his family but as far as I know they are still in New York.

The only one that actually has to be here is Namjoon. And yet Jimin is out with people no doubt spiking his anxiety. Hobi most definitely got in to a fight with his sister about bringing Yoonhee along. Tae and Eonjin drove close to two hours. All just to be here and support me.

"She doesn't even have a job. And she lives with three other men. All of which including herself are gay. Do you really think that is the best situation for a child."

I was going to say something when the doors get slammed open making everyone's heads turn. Standing there looking very mad is Jungkook holding a toddler on his hip.

"I would have been here on time but the fucking traffic today my god." A very pretty lady with a small baby bump and a slightly older looking boy walks up behind them.

"Now I know this is breaking some kind of rule. But I've been filled in with everything that is going on here. And lady who's name I'm not bothering to learn. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with liking the same gender and it's people like you that make them think that there is something wrong with them. Further more, get your fucking facts straight because Nyssa actually does have a job a well paying one at that. And living with other people just means free baby sitters or helpers around the house."

With his little out burst he sits down next to Taehyung and pulls him into a hug the anger on his face being replaced instantly with a smile. His wife following behind him and smiling apologetically.

The judge clears his throat. "While that was completely unnecessary he does bring up great points thought I do have some questions for Ms. Nyssa. What is your relation to this man?"

"His name is Jeon Jungkook, he was part of the boy band called BTS years back as was most of the people behind me. And he is one of my closest friends, again so is most of the people behind me. On top of that most of them know both English and Korean so language with not be a problem." I answer making sure to sound professional.

"And as for the people you live with? Who are they?" The judge asks another question.

"Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, and Park Jimin. Both Kim's knows English fluently and Jimin knows enough to have a decent conversation." These questions are freaking me out if I'm being honest.

"Where do you live? And what is your job?"

"I live at (insert random address here) it has seven bedrooms and three floors. Plenty of space for five people. Not to mention a big yard front and back for playing games outside. I currently work at BigHit Entertainment."

"Thank you Ms. Nyssa, that will be all for now. Mrs. Dox, anything to add?"

For once in my aunt's life she is rendered speechless but only for a few moments. "She is gay. Isn't that against the morals here or something?"

Instead of answering her question the judge than turns to Elyn. "Elyn do you have any problems with Ms. Nyssa liking girl not boys."

"No sir. I think it is cool that Yssa likes girls." Elyn grins happily but my aunt just glares down at her.

"Well Ms. Dox I believe your the only one in this room that has an issue with it. Unless any of you.....12, have a problem with it." The judge posses for a second to count everyone on my side. Excluding Yoongi of course.

"Are you kidding most of us here are bi." Jin says making everyone agree with him.

"Alright now that, that problem is solved Ms. Dox do you have anything else to say? And if your going to bring up anything about being gay you already have your answer." The judge says clearly getting tired of this.

My aunt just scuffs and mumbles out a no. "Than I have my answer. Nyssa Dox, you have full custody of Elyn Dox. And Ms. Dox kindly go back home."

The room erupts, as everyone starts yelling and cheering. Elyn runs straight towards me launching herself in to my arms.

Tears roll down my cheeks as I hug her tightly to me not wanting to let go for nothing.

I set Elyn down on the floor as my aunt storms up to me. We stare at each other as Namjoon quickly takes hold of Elyn hand. "Hey love, let me properly introduce you to everyone."

A loud slap silence's the room as my cheek stings. In an instant I was pushed back and Jin and Hobi stand in front of me. "Leave before we call the police." Hoseok warms in perfect English I didn't know he had.

"That bitch stole my baby!" My aunt yells angrily. I have to hold in tears but not the happy kind. "First off Nyssa is no bitch. If anyone is, it's you." Jin practically starts rapping at her. Telling her off but I cant focus on that when Eonjin pulls me into a hug. Calming me down.
