She was staring out the bedroom balcony, leaning her front body on the black rails.

The calming view in front of her of the lighted buildings in the dark and the gentle breeze blowing her long, smooth hair in the air—was she really enjoying it?

"Not sleepy yet?" her best friend asks as she walks beside her.

She shrugs. "Maybe not".

"You know, you can talk to me, right?" she chuckles, then softly nods.

Y/N's eyes welled up as she finally let go of her tears. Lisa wraps her arm around her best friend's shoulder and scoots closer to her.

"Am I that bad? Am I really troublesome?" She clenched Lisa's palm.

"No, not at all, Y/N; you are the most caring, kind, loving, and understanding person I've ever come across in my life." She gently pulls Y/N's head to rest on her shoulder.

"Remember, when mom and dad died, you stayed by my side all day, not even leaving me alone for a second. Because you knew me the best, you knew I needed someone by my side. To be honest, Y/N, you're the only reason me, your mom, and Jackson Oppa are alive. If it weren't for your presence, we'd be dead by now." She put her head over Y/N's and tightened her grip on her shoulder.

They stayed in that position for a few more minutes, crying and opening up to each other.

"Does Jackson Oppa know I'm going to stay over for a few days?" Y/N asked, wiping her tears.

"I did text him; he should be home soon anyway!"





"Why?" He paused "Why would you say all of that to her, Taehyung?" Jimin closed his eyes, trying to stay calm.

"Jimin?" Mr. Kim walked in. "Son, how are you feeling?"

Jimin ignored his dad and looked at his stepmother, who looked down.

"Mom, I apologise on his behalf."

"Not just him; we all do," his brothers added to the apology.

"Save it." "I hope you're feeling well," she says to Jimin.

"I was feeling better until this... When is Y/N coming back?"

"Hopefully not anytime soon." They gulped. "It'll be better if you don't try to reach her; she needs time for herself; she's been too selfless recently." She gives Taehyung a glance. "And at the moment, I only trust Lisa to take care of her; they understand each other better than anyone," she sighs.

All of the boys looked down, feeling guilty. Taehyung was the most upset; he was on the verge of crying.

Jimin was about to say something to Mrs. Kim when his phone dinged.

"It's a message from Bang PD... He says, Turn on the news channel with a smiling emoji." He glances at his dad, who gives him a slight smile before walking towards his wife.

The boys curiously turned the TV on. The headlines read:

'The recent rumour involving 'Park Jimin' of 'BTS' appearing to be arrogant and rude towards staff has now been cleared.'

"The woman who accused Jimin has recently confessed that she posted a comment just for attention and did not mean to disrupt someone's personal life or career. Hybe expects a deserved apology from the media for their hurtful comments." The repoter spoke; they were relieved and wanted to be happy, but something was stopping them; they weren't entirely happy right now.

"Dad, you did this, right?" Mr. Kim shook his head. They frowned.

"It's Y/n. I assure you, I had nothing to do with this." They stopped dead in their tracks.

"It was extremely hard to find the lady who posted that comment about you being rude, but Y/N did it in minutes." She tracked her down, and they had a talk together. " Talk? Or more like a threat.



After she left Jimin's room, she went to hers and did some 'research' on her laptop. When she found out the lady's information, she contacted Lisa and dragged her along. Obviously, she did not forget to message Jin and her mom.

When the two girls reached the lady's last seen location, she was already talking on her phone about how she had falsely accused Jimin; she did not even work as a staff member, nor had they ever met.

Y/N recorded her conversion and had a quick 'word' with her.

They had a little deal.

The lady did not want people to know she was the one who did it; she wanted her identity to be a secret so she did not get bashed by BTS' powerful fandom, but Y/N had already recorded her. So she agreed to post another comment explaining the truth.




They were caught off-guard. Guilt and regret overflow from top to bottom.

"Look what you've done now, Taehyung," he mumbled to himself, leaving to go to his room.




"I'm so happy you're going to live with us," he said, hugging her tight.

They were sitting in his room on the bed; he had just arrived from a tiring day at work. Even on a weekend

The girls had decided not to tell him about the home event since Y/N did not want him to get worried, so they stuck with their excuse that she was over to help them arrange his party.

"Oppaa, I can't breathe." She tried to push him away.

He pulls out and leaves a peck on her forehead.

"I just missed you so much," he said, wiping his invisible tears.

"Ugh, stop being so dramatic." Y/N crunched up her nose. Jackson smirked, then crawled closer, moving his fingers in the air. She moved back, aware of his ideas.

"Stop!" She pushes him away and runs behind Lisa, who was just walking in with a glass of water in her hand. He chuckles, not being bothered to run behind her, feeling exausted.

"YAH! Stop annoying her!" she yelled at her older brother. He looked at Y/N and wiggled his eyebrows. Y/N understood what he meant; Lisa was so busy glaring at her brother that she did not notice Y/N snuck the glass out of her hands.

She swiftly dragged her to bed and started a pillow fight. Jackson joined too.

Feathers flew all around, their yelps, laughs, and squeaks echoing the room.

"Ok ok!" Jackson stopped them and said, "Go sleep now; it's past 10 and it's a Monday tomorrow; you have school girls!" He gives them both a peck on their foreheads and moves to his bathroom to get fresh.

The girls walk by themselves to Lisa's room. Y/N did not want to be alone tonight.

"Good night," they wished each other, then pulled the warm quilt over their bodies. They cuddled, and Y/N eventually fell asleep 2 hours before waking up.




"Good morning, my little peas," Jackson greeted them as soon as they walked down the stairs.

"Morning," they greeted back, and took a seat to have the yummy pancakes prepared as their breakfast.



"I'll miss you both so much!" he says, dramatically hugging them both. Students walking past gave them weird looks.

He just dropped them off in front of the school building, and now he was acting like a mother leaving her kids for adoption out of no choice.

"Byee," he says again, wiping his imagined tears.

Lisa and Y/N cover their faces with their hands.

"Bye," they mutter, and they leave the place as quickly as they possibly can to save themselves from the embarrassment.

When they walk in, they find their friends and have a little chat during the remaining time before their class starts.





The boys were miserable; they missed Y/N's presence a lot. Especially Jungkook, he was getting used to Y/N wishing him the first thing in the morning.

"I'm done; I'll wait outside, honey." Mrs. Kim nods and rushes with her food.

She is about to leave when:

"Mom," Jimin's faint voice made her stop.

No one was feeling themselves; they all missed Y/N's presence, and no one was ready to speak a word without feeling awkward.

"Are you mad at us?"

"No, not at all. I'm not mad, just disappointed. Y/N was actually starting to trust you guys... She's never put her trust in someone that soon. But don't worry; you apologised, and it really meant a lot. As for Y/N, she just needs time and space, so please do not try to contact her. Bye, have a good day," she said, walking out.

"I'm sorry, guys. It's all my fault." He pressed his lips in a thin line, trying not to cry.

Jungkook, Jimin, and Yoongi dropped their utensils with force and left the table, completely ignoring Taehyung. Namjoon sighed and stood up, shaking his head, before leaving. Jin and Hoseok, who sat beside Taehyung, patted his shoulders and then left as well.

When Taehyung found himself all alone in the cold and silent room, he let all his tears fall. He sobbed hard. No one to comfort him...



All that ignoring, chaos, regret, guilt, and missing continued for the whole week, until Saturday. The day they were meant to attend a business party organised by Jackson in honour of his success At the same party Y/N was going to be at, the boys were happy to finally see Y/N after a whole five days, yet still scared about her reaction.

But Y/N did not care about their presence. At least not anymore.
