Rigged Pet | Rapline

Yoongi slams the door behind him as he enters his apartment.

Nia really made him upset. The way she dismissed him like it was nothing was so unlike her, and he found it to be very disrespectful.

All he was trying to do was make her feel better, see what was going on with her.

But she kept giving dry responses and didn't even care to look at him.

Yoongi carelessly throws his keys on his kitchen island before rummaging through his refrigerator in hopes of finding something to snack on.

He sighs deeply when his phone starts ringing. He pulls it out and sees it's Namjoon calling, "Hello?"

"Hey, did you talk to Nia yet?"

"Yeah, she's acting weird as fuck." Yoongi settles for an apple, taking a big bite out of it.

"How so?" Namjoon questions.

Yoongi takes a seat at the island, "She said she's having a bad day but the way she was moving rubbed me the wrong way."

"She was dry as fuck and didn't care to look at me when she was talking. She just wasn't herself."

"Did she specify why her day was bad?"

"No, she barely even talked. She said that she'll talk tomorrow but I don't know." Yoongi shakes his head as he takes another bite of his apple.

"Maybe something happened and she's not ready to talk about it."

Yoongi shrugs, "Maybe, but I just find it funny how she ignored all of our calls and texts but chose to order something from my restaurant."

"It just seems petty to me."

Namjoon sighs, "Okay, we'll figure it out tomorrow. Have a goodnight."

"You too." they end the call Yoongi sulks as he finishes the rest of his apple.

The next day rolls around and Nia wakes up on the couch. She's surrounded by beer bottles, snack wrappers, and empty food containers.

She wipes the sleep off of her eyes as she sits up. She stares blankly at her mess of a table in front of her, contemplating her life choices.

Nia has some explaining to do, but she doesn't wanna confess to anyone that her self esteem has dropped.

She'd feel humiliated after admitting to the others that she's now insecure.

Not only does she have to deal with trauma from being assaulted, she now has to deal with her sudden insecurities.

Everything's starting to get fucking annoying.

Nia stands from her spot on the couch and begins to clean the area, disposing all of the trash and wiping down everything after.

She then goes to the bathroom to take a much needed shower, standing directly under the scorching hot water to wake herself up some more.

She co-washes her hair and pins it up in a claw clip after, before moisturizing her skin with lotion.

She pulls on a sun dress to accommodate the the weather becoming warmer outside before reaching for her phone.

Nia views the amount of messages and calls she's ignored in the past 24 hours.

She undoubtedly feels bad for ghosting her boyfriends and feels even worse for treating Yoongi the way she did.

Sucking it up, she throws Yoongi a text asking him to come over.
