Blood bound

Part 5: Moving out

"Y/n honey please reconsider this!" My Mom pleads for the fiftieth time since I walked in the door. I whirl on her and sigh frustration coiling in my stomach. 

"Mom, I can't! I have to do this ok." She shakes her head. 

"Where is this coming from? Why all the sudden? Please!" She pleads. I groan drowning out her pleads. The thing is, this morning she was ready to kick me out, so the stark contrast of everything is kind of unsettling. "Where are you moving?" She asks. I continue packing and glance at her. 

"I'm staying in Busan, stop fussing." I reply. Her hands flutter uselessly around my things not knowing what to say. I look up as a knock sounds at my door. 

"Hey," Jungkook says. My eyes widen momentarily. 

"Hi." I say. My Mom rises to her feet and she smiles. 

"Oh Jungkook honey how nice to see you! You and my baby are staying close right?" Jungkook smiles easily while I on the other hand gawk in complete and utter shock. 

"Yes Eomma, of course we're staying close." He responds with a gorgeous smile. She hugs him and Jungkook grins at me over her shoulder. I shake my head as the other six boys file in. Jimin grins at me and I smile back feeling overwhelmed. Namjoon and Jin both send me apologetic smiles no doubt feeling bad about everything that has happened up until this moment which I can only feel somewhat grateful for. 

"Hello my amazing boys! Oh I haven't seen you guys in ages!" She cries. More like ever? I add silently. Yoongi only raises an eyebrow at her while Hoseok smiles. 

"It has been a while hasn't it?" He says smiling brightly. My Mom moves over from Jungkook to him hanging on tightly. 

"You better take care of my daughter." She says. 

"Of course Eomma always." He replies easily. I shake my head and continue stuffing my belongings into bags and boxes. 

"Here, let me help with that." Jin offers as he slides next to me. His long strong hands start picking up clothes, folding them, and neatly placing them in bags. I smile in appreciation and continue. Hoseok leaves the room with my Mom keeping her occupied on trying to 'catch up.' I shudder. 

"Now that your Mom left, I just want to say, I am truly sorry about how all of this went down. I tried convincing Yoongi to leave things go but he insisted that you were willing to move in. The boys can get impatient." Jin smiles and I nod. 

"It's ok. I mean it definitely isn't how I would have expected things to go or how I really really want them but it's alright." Jin nods. 

"I understand." Namjoon crouches down next to me and rakes his hands through some of my things placing certain items in a box. 

"I have to say this," He mutters looking at me. I turn my head to look at him and nod in encouragement telling him to go on. "The way things have gone, this isn't how it was supposed to be. For that I must apologize and ask for your forgiveness." I press my lips together. 

"Of course, I'm not- I'm not mad." I shake my head and blink. "Just unsure and scared I guess." He smiles. 

"I completely understand, we have a lot to discuss but for now we can get everything packed up, if that is what you want that is?" He eyes me carefully judging my reaction. I turn to look at Yoongi and Namjoon shakes his head. His ice cold fingers find my chin and he turns me back to face him. His eyes search mine. "This isn't about Yoongi and what he wants, he should have known better. I'm asking you what you want." I look down and swallow before looking back up. 

"I'm ok with this." I whisper. "I-I don't know that I can say I'm ready, but I'm ok. I- as crazy as this sounds I actually kind of trust you guys in a weird way. I- It's ok." He sits for a minute before letting me go.
