Psych Ward

Chapter 8

Plants were everywhere: a jacuzzi, a decked-out outdoor kitchen, and excellent lounge furniture. Krissy walked over to the roof's edge and looked at the sky. The mountains were visible, and they were so beautiful. She wasn't sure how long she was out there, but based on her stomach grumbling, it was either dinner time or after it.

She needed to go and wasn't worried about hunger; she could always steal something from the kitchens. But she was concerned about staying too long and them catching her. She was sure the guys knew they came here, but understanding and seeing are two different things.

Jin was pissed; they couldn't find Krissy anywhere. Yoongi told them what happened, and then she was gone. Hobi was the last to speak to her, and it's been hours. She missed dinner; then he realized there was only one place she could be. She was in their apartment, that little shit, he swore. He stalked over to the elevator and made it to their apartment, she wasn't in there so he went to the roof. 

When he opened the door, he saw her standing there. She was leaning against the edge and looking at the mountains. She seemed so happy, but that didn't stop his anger. She ran off and scared the shit out of them. "Krissy," he yelled.

She turned to him with wide eyes, then blinked, and it was Ris. Damnit, she would do that, run off, and leave Ris to clean up her mess. Ris looked around and then smacked her forehead. "Jinnie, I'm sorry."

He sighed, he can't be mad at her, it's not her fault. He opened his arms, "It's okay, Princess. I'm not mad at you." She ran into them and jumped. He put her on his hip as she snuggled her face into his shoulder and neck. Yes, she's a grown woman, and they probably shouldn't be carrying her, but she's five right now, and she's so much smaller than them that it's not like it's hard to do it. "Are you hungry?" She nodded her head a bit, "You missed dinner, and everyone was worried about you. We didn't know where you guys ran off to."

"I'm sorry," she whispered against his neck.

"It's okay, Princess, but we must get you fed." The responsible thing would be to take her downstairs to the kitchen and make her a sandwich or something. The irrational thing to do is to take her back to their apartment and make her something to eat. Of course, if he could do the latter without his brothers finding out, that would be the ideal scenario.

So he's going to be dumb and do something that he really wants to do instead of what he should do. "Ris, how about I make you a chicken pot pie?" It was one of her favorite foods, which was hilarious since she loathes vegetables, but he convinced her to eat it once since it was pie, and she's been hooked ever since. 

She started clapping her hands and shouting yes, yes, yes. He kissed her forehead, "Come on, let's get started." They had a few frozen ones in the freezer, so everyone is having that. He knew they'd be up there any minute, and there was no point in hiding her. They all loved her and wanted her to get better. Maybe if she trusts them more, she'll open up. 

As soon as they walked in the door, the elevator opened up, and the rest of them shuffled in. "Where can she be? I get she's the Queen of hiding, but we looked everywhere."

Yoongi was understandably upset, and Jin was sure that he was blaming himself. Joon squeezed his shoulder, "We'll find her; let's just get Jin first."

They hadn't seen the two yet, but Ris doesn't like being ignored. "Kitty, Bunny!"

All six of them snapped their heads towards her, "Ris! Where have you been? You had us so scared!"

Her lip started wobbling, and tears fell, "Jimin, I'm sorry." She was balling, and it was breaking Jin's heart. 

Jimin walked over to her and took her from the elder's arms. He was petting her hair and cooing at her. "It's okay, Princess. We were just worried. We don't want anything bad to happen to you. You know we love you, Princess."

She sniffled and nodded her head. Tae walked over to them and held out a doll. "Ris, I brought Tali for you." She reached out for the doll and brought it to her chest. She whispered thank you and laid her head back down on Jimin's shoulder.

She may be 22 years old, but she is absolutely adorable when she's Ris. "I'm going to get dinner started. You guys watch her, okay?" Jin walked to the kitchen and pulled out several pot pies and some croissant rolls to make. Forty-five minutes later, he was pulling everything out of the oven. 

Ris bounced up and down on the couch, singing a song with Jimin and Tae while trying her hardest to keep Yoongi awake. Apparently, Krissy stole his afternoon nap spot today, so he's extra cranky. She plopped down on his lap, and he let out a little oof of air. She was bouncing and giggling, and Jin could see the look on his face.

"Princess, dinner is ready. Have Kitty take you to the bathroom to wash your hands. Then he can make you some chocolate milk. If you eat all your dinner, you can have your favorite dessert."

"Volcano cake?"

"Yup, volcano cake." It's actually molten lava chocolate cake, but volcano cake sounds more fun.

She hopped off his lap, grabbed his hand, and dragged him towards his room. "I'm coming, I'm coming, sheesh." Jin could see the smile on his face, so he knew Yoongi wasn't mad.

Joon approached his older brother and glared at him, "what?"

"Why is she here, and why is she eating dinner with us?"

Jin sighed and set the spatula down. "She's finally opening up to us. I think that this might help. We've been holding ourselves back from her for her sake, but what if that's the direct opposite of what we need to do?"
