"Jagi?" He call you out and was about to stand up to go to you.
"Jinnie!!" You cried out his name and hug him tightly.
"Y/n? Did something bad happen?" He ask in concern.

You shook your head then nod your head making Hyunjin unsure with your answer so he cupped your cheek for you to face him.
"Jagi, did you have a bad day today?" He guess and you nod.

You hug him again and snuggle your face on his chest while tighten your hug on him. Soon after Jeongin, Lino, Seungmin come out form their room and 3 Racha and Felix arrive home from JYP. They notice the gloomy atmosphere in the living room and saw you hugging Hyunjin tightly.

"What is going on here?" BangChan ask, feeling uneasy to see you act like that.
"Y/n have a bad day today but I'm sure it's not some ordinary bad day" Hyunjin explain.
"Baby?" Jisung pat your back and you turn your head to him.
"Sungie" you frown and hug him.
"Y/n, do you wanna talk about it?" Lino ask, caress your back.

You didn't reply for a minute but then you hum to his question. Jisung broke the hug and pull you toward the couch. They all sat around you, you sit in between Jisung and Hyunjin.

"Now, are you ready to tell us what happen at work?" Changbin ask, staring at you with worry.
"I don't know but it just that today fill with so many bad luck. I clumsily trip and slash my coffee on my colleague. Then I also mistakenly handed an important document and that made my boss got mad at me. That is only the beginning, I even heard few of my colleague talk bad about me. The next is I almost fall down on the toilet because of stupid heels which is too slippery. Then I fall down on the stairway because I lost track of my feet and sprain a bit of my ankle and earn bruises" you said as tears start to form in your eyes.

They all stare at you with sympathy and worry, especially when you told them that you fall down on the stairway. They all take you in a group hug as your tears start to stream down your cheeks. After you have calm down and was thankful for their comfort, Seungmin told Jeongin to get the first aid kit.

"Lino, what's wrong?" You stare at him as he took a sit beside you and take your hand onto his.
"What did those people talk about you?" He ask, staring at your and his hand.
"It's nothing..." You said but saw his eyebrow frown indicating you that your answer isn't what he wanted to hear.
"They..they said, I was clumsy and always mess things up. They said that I should just quit working there and move to another company. They think of me as a burden and only try to get on my good side so that they can take advantage of my kindness. They even said that I was flirting with the CEO because I always get called by him for work not more than that..I swear" you tell him and saw his mix expression of anger and sorry.
"I'm sorry that I can't protect you. We all are...all we can do is comfort you at home. As much as I want to punch those people so badly, I just can't do it and that anger me. I feel pity of myself for not being able to protect you from such people. I'm sorry" he apologize and you realize few tears fall down from his eyes.

You pull him into a hug and caress his head.
