I kept to myself for the next few days. Being carried by Jungkook could've started a downward spiral within me. I couldn't do that to those boys, my father, or myself. I've worked so hard to get my sex addiction under control.

Just because I kept my distance from them didn't mean they didn't try to invite me to hang out. I did my daily routine of making sure their groceries were stocked, doing basic cleaning of the lodge and washing the linen. All the guys were around while doing it and chatted with me but I made sure to keep my answers basic and simple.

Jin of course invited me to dinner every night, I had to make up a logical excuse why I couldn't always accept, which after the second night was hard. J-Hope, who told me I could call him Hobi, invited me to play a card game with them one afternoon, after I finished stocking their refrigerator. Namjoon asked if I could take them all out on a hike up through the mountains, which did sound like a lot of fun but I had to ask to postpone for a few days. I needed to regain my composure around the lot of them faster than I thought was possible. In my head I wanted about a week but I could only allot myself a few days. If I took any longer they could start to think I didn't want to hang out with them.

Taehyung on the other hand I struggled with keeping it simple. He asked Rodney if he could take care of the chickens, which Rodney happily accepted. As soon as the chickens were tended he'd come help me with the horses. Tae had said he'd grown up on a farm and he missed getting up early to do chores. Which I understood. Taking care of the horses really helped with my mental health. I couldn't deny him the comfort nor could I deny the help.

So most of my day was spent unintentionally with or around Tae. It didn't matter how long I rode the horses in the ring, Tae would sit on the fence or back on the bank, and watch me ride. I would ride one horse for an hour in the ring, then take it out on a trail ride, get back and Tae would still be hanging around waiting for me to return. He kept himself busy by doing some sort of cleaning around the barn or picking poo out of the ring. Then he'd watch me ride another one, and repeat the process. I'd always invite him to join me but he'd decline.

I'd ridden two of the horses that weren't used as often on our trails first and it was time to have some fun with Rosie. I decided to enter a local gymkhana with her to see how she'd do. I'd convinced Rodney she wasn't suited for customers to ride and he gave me free rein to do as I pleased with her. It gave me a few weeks to work with her.

I warmed Rosie up with Tae watching from the fence. Once I deemed her ready I rode over to where Tae sat on the fence. Stopping, I hopped off Rosie and flipped the reins over her head. Tae watched me curiously.

"Could you hold her while I set up the first event?" Nodding, he took the reins. I could tell he was confused.

I set up the pattern quickly and took Rosie. Getting up on her I trotted her to where I dictated to be the "timer line", and circled her. Giving her her head we took off galloping towards the barrels. Weaving the three with ease and turning the last one on her haunches, we launched off the barrel and finished the pattern.

Smiling from ear to ear, I slowed Rosie by circling her and began stroking her neck. Praising her all the while. My suspicion was being proven right, she'd definitely done gymkhanas before. We'd just done that event faster than most and I could feel she had a lot more speed to give. Only way to really tell was to run her through more patterns and see.

While I'd been lost in my horse excitement, Tae had hopped off the fence and come over to us. Putting a hand on Rosie's neck Tae looked up at me with wonder filled eyes.

"What was that?" He asked with a goofy smile. Clearly he'd never seen anything like this.

"This event is called speed barrels. It's one of many events that can be in a competition called a gymkhana." I guessed it wasn't a common thing in Korea. It's mostly a western riding event and Tae definitely gave me an English trained riding vibe.
