nine.

 found her hands tied up and Jay was clinging onto her. She somehow felt comfortable with Jay hugging her but definitely not how her hands are tied up together. She tried to untie the rope but accidentally woke Jay up.

"What are you doing ?"Riku had finally gone to sleep where Jay took this as a signal to tie her hands up to the bedpost. The members thought they couldn't risk thinking about what happened tonight. He then removed the bolster from in between them and he cuddled up with Riku, making her warmer.

.

The next day Riku woke up, shocked. She

Jay said, sitting up.

"Can you please untie the ropes ? I want to go to the bathroom."

Riku asked while making an excuse. Jay sighed and untied the rope around her wrists. Riku quickly stood up and ran to the bathroom, locking the door behind her. She covered her mouth and her tears streamed down her face. She was scared.

She was back with them, and about what had happened yesterday... What is going to happen now ? The only thing she could do now is cry and sleep. She can't walk properly anymore without limping, nor eating. Her stomach was growling but the thought of food somehow disgusted her.

The guys were comforting but, if it's to this point-

"Riku ? Are you okay ?

Riku's thoughts were interrupted by Jay's voice along with three knocks on the door.

"Y-yeah ! I'm coming."

She said quickly, washing her face and brushing her teeth. She can't help but think of how this is going to turn out. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Jay helping her pack her backpack and handing her a phone.

"Take my phone. We'll be out for quite a while and we don't really want you to get bored. Also, I took out my sim card, so don't even try doing anything funny."

He said, showing the sim card before slipping it in a pocket in his wallet.

"Ni-Ki said he'll lend you his Nintendo Switch tomorrow so just wait until then. Now go wash up and change."

They got ready and met in the lobby where some of the members were. Jay made sure to hold Riku's hand firmly as they went anywhere, even in the bus.

.

Riku was pretty awkward with them at first but they had closed the gaps during their break times. Everytime the director mentioned they had a break or lunch, they would make sure Riku got entertained and ate properly. But also, they had to make sure Riku didn't do anything stupid this time like running away in a country she's no longer familiar with.

The whole day, Riku was just lying down, playing Jay's phone or eating snacks while watching them shoot music video scenes. Now Ni-Ki was sitting with her while waiting for his turn.

"Can't you atleast smile a little bit ? Do you need anything else ?"

Ni-Ki asked in Japanese so no one would know what they were talking about. Riku was shocked but replied back in the language as well.

"Why should I... I'm feeling tired and just want to go home..."

"We'll go home soon, please hold out."

He said tucking a strand of hair behind Riku's ear and side hugged her. Riku hesitated but wrapped her hands around him too. I started tearing up slightly as it's been a while since I received this kind of comfort.

(some of you may not get it but i'm sure if someone feels neglected, they will always be tired. Because this is what I feel :) )

Sunghoon then came over and saw Riku with Ni-Ki. He took a blanket from the staff and wrapped it around them.

.

The next day they went back to I-LAND for a short break from all the traveling. They actually separated into rooms and not be dumb to share one bed to 7 people. She got to share a room that was downstairs with Sunoo and Sunghoon. It was around 4 pm when Riku thought it would be nice just to go out for a bit.

She knew the others were shooting EN-O'CLOCK right now so they would notice her coming out. When Riku was discovering and exploring the place a little bit more, she found a back door that led to the river where she was with Jungwon earlier.

She smiled and went out for a bit. She sat at one of the rocks and ran her hand through the cold water. TIme passed by a little too quickly and Riku forgot to go back in. She had taken off her shoes and walked in the water, observing the small fish.

That was definitely a big mistake she made.
