Stay [Bts x Child! Reader]

Chapter 17: V

I was sure it wasn't some random fan. Why? Because why would TXT bring a random fan through the building wearing Huening Kai's sweater? As well as the fact that Y/n was that tall and only she would have a reason to apologize, even if it was completely ridiculous.

And only Y/n sounded like that.

I stared at the crying thirteen year-old, completely forgetting about TXT. I only saw the little girl that we loved, and she was crying.

After I got over my initial shock, I reached up a hand and pulled back her hood, smoothing her hair, comforting her. "Shh, Y/n. You have nothing to be sorry for, little one. Everything's alright."

"Y/n?" Jungkook asked in shock, but I didn't turn around. Y/n needed comfort right now. So I nodded, barely. I didn't want to disturb her any more than she already was.

"How-when-why?" Namjoon stuttered, and I imagined the other members' eyes going wide.

The more anyone said anything, the more Y/n cried, saying that one thing over and over again. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," She would sob.

The others realized that. So they came over without a word, and joined in the hug, wrapping their arms around us.

"You really do want me?" She sobbed, quieter this time, though just as distressed.

"Of course, Y/n," Jin said softly, rubbing her back. "Why would you think otherwise?"

"No one's ever wanted me before," She sniffled. "All anyone's wanted to do is get rid of me."

"I'm sad we're the first ones, Y/n, but you don't have to worry anymore. We want you, Y/n, and we will never leave you, we promise. We're family now."

She finally looked up, the tears now silently splashing down her cheeks. "Really? But-but I thought..." She trailed off, looking ashamed.

"That we didn't want you? Really, Y/n?" Yoongi snorted incredulously. "You know I never would've gone through so much trouble just to ditch you." Yoongi didn't give up on things he worked hard for.

"Y/n, you'll always have a place with us, Y/n. We'll never ask you to leave. Never," Jin said. "We'll only ever ask you one thing. Stay. Please, Y/n, let us be your family."

She looked up again, face filled with hope. But there was still tears.

"Stop crying, Y/n," I said gently, wiping away her tears. "It's all fine now."

"If anything," Namjoon said guiltily. "I should be apologizing. I'm sorry, Y/n, I made you run away."

"Stop apologizing, everyone," The maknae grumbled. "This is supposed to be a happy occasion. We're back together again! I'm ordering pizza! TXT, too, come one!"

I guess you could say it ended with laughter and tears, but most of all, smiles, because now Y/n was going to stay.
