Fae's Painted Secrets

Chapter 17

You woke up from your nap surrounded by arms and feeling overly warm. Keeping your eyes closed you let your mind wander over the events of the day and the subsequent breakdown afterwards. Releasing a sigh, you cracked your eyes open and took a quick peak at the arms that were currently holding you. Seeing two sets that you recognized as Hobi and Jungkook's you closed your eyes again and snuggled in further between the two. You felt Hobi shift behind you and squeeze you a little tighter.

"Awake now darling?" you heard Hobi rasp out behind you. You slowly nodded your head making him sigh out and readjust to where he could see your face. "How are you feeling?" he asked quietly. You frowned while thinking over your answer. How exactly were you feeling? Confused, hurt, angry made the top of the list. But there was also comfort in there as well. "I'm okay I think" you finally answered.

"I'm sorry we cut you off Fae. After Sang-Hoon told Namjoon and the others a bunch of crap he went into protective mode and told us to cut ties. I'm so sorry" Kook said softly in front of you making you sigh out. "I appreciate the apology, but honestly now that I think about it, I get it. Doesn't make it hurt any less. But I understand why. I just wish instead of it going down like this you guys would've asked me. I knew you guys would have questions, I even told you I would answer them all." You huffed out.

You rolled onto your back and stared up at the ceiling while chewing on your bottom lip. "We wanted to talk to you about it all. But we unfortunately got out voted. Not being group leader sometimes has its disadvantages" Hobi said while settling in next to you. You hummed in response and continued to get lost in your thoughts while slowly rubbing a hand over the scar along your pelvis. "How are you feeling? Did you get checked by a doctor?" Kook suddenly asked startling you out of your aimless thoughts.

"Yeah, no injuries. Just some soreness for a while and got a massive scolding and had to promise to not do it again." You told him with a pout. "Good, I was worried about you re-injuring yourself." Hobi admitted to you. "Is it just you two here?" you finally asked when you couldn't contain your curiosity anymore. Although you admitted to yourself that you weren't sure what answer you hoped for. Hobi hummed in response "everyone else is out in the living room. They wanted to talk to you if you feel up to it" he said. You nodded your head trying to decide if you were or not.

You finally settled on the rip the band aid off approach. Surely after the bomb you dropped at the meeting they had even more questions, and if you were going to delve into that then you'd have no choice but to go into everything else. Sighing you sat up and rubbed your face. "Might as well get this over with. It's already been an emotional day, and if I can get this out of the way all at once, then even better" you said as you started climbing off of the bed. They followed you as you made your way out to the living room where the others were talking quietly.

Upon your entering the room the conversation died as they all stared at you, making you shift uncomfortably from side to side. You noticed Yoongi shift over a bit and pat the seat between himself and Tae. You quickly made your way over and covered yourself with the blanket that had been on the back of the couch. The silence was awkward, but you could tell no one wanted to be the one to break it. Until Namjoon cleared his throat and sat forward "Fae I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for my actions and for not giving you the chance to explain yourself. If I could go back and change my decisions I would, but please understand it wasn't anything personal. I was just worried about the wellbeing of the group and protecting it." He said with a face full of guilt.

You nodded your head and tried to give a small smile. "Like I just told Kook, I get it and I appreciate the apology" you told him while bringing the blanket up to your face to nuzzle into for comfort. Seeing this Tae wrapped an arm around your shoulders while Yoongi laid his hand on your knee. "So, I'm assuming you guys have some questions?" you stated, starting the dreaded conversation. You could see them all nod their heads to you. "Okay, well, how about I start at the beginning and tell you my story. That should answer most of them, if not I can answer any you have?" you suggested. "Please" Jimin said from his seat next to Namjoon and Jin.
