Is this it

It hurts so bad

"Oh god finally!" I yelled as I raised my arms up into the air making my mom, Jimin, and kookie laugh at me "I need a shower and then I want to lay on the couch and watch something"

"Don't forget you have homework to catch up on baby" Jimin said as he wrapped his arms around me from behind 

"Bitch don't kill my vibe" I laughed as he smacked my chest "I'm finally home and I just want to relax" 

"I know my love, but it's still important" 

"You should listen to your husband" mom smiled 

"Don't take his side" I laughed and shook my head 

"I do it out of love!" She went to playfully smack the back of my head but stopped herself, she looked sad "I'm sorry baby" 

"It's okay mom" I smiled and pulled her in for a hug "I love you"

"I love you too baby" she rubbed my back "if I leave will you boys be okay?"

"We'll be fine" I smiled

"I have to go to school, but Jimin is staying home today. They should be fine" Jungkook tried to reassure her, it was good enough for her as we all hugged and they left. 

"My love" I smiled

"Yes my love?" He smiled wide 

"Can we take a bath?"

"Of course" he nodded and walked past me to get up to our bathroom, I followed behind him and sat on the bed while he ran the bath 

"Can you wash my hair for me? I can't see the stitches and I don't want to risk opening them, but I need my hair cleaned" 

"Absolutely, I'll be as careful as possible okay?" 

"I know" I smiled as he offered me his hand and walked me towards the bathroom where the tub was filled to the brim with bubbles and smelled like wild flowers "mmm it smells so good" I started stripping while he chuckled and started stripping next to me 

"Let me get in first okay? You can sit between my legs so I can wash your hair" I nodded at his words and waited for him to get situated, he motioned for me to come and I stepped into the water, holding his hand for support as I sat down. He winced as he looked over the bruises on my body. It was getting worse because it was healing, and God they were awful to look at. 

"They should be gone before the wedding, even the ones on my face" I smiled but his eyes watered "baby, don't cry, I'm okay" I leaned my back against his chest and kissed his cheek

"I just wish I could have protected you"

"Baby, I'm okay. Honest. Don't beat yourself up over it, I knew what would happen when I ran my mouth and I did it anyway" I shrugged as he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly 

"I love you" 

"I love you too" I relaxed in his arms and closed my eyes "Jiminie?"

"hmm?"

"Can you sing for me?"

"Of course" he smiled against my skin before singing to me and gently helping me wash my skin, and my hair. His voice wavered a bit as he shampooed my hair but I think he was scared that he was going to hurt me. 

I let myself get lost in his voice and in the lyrics he sang to me as he treated me like a flower, pretty and delicate in his hands and completely dependent on him to help me. 

"I don’t know why my heart is like this

I only think of you always

I’ll become a rhythm and a song
