I Won't Hurt You

They met you, or one would say found you hiding behind one of their suv's. You noticed a lot of vehicles and busy people. So you hide from your stepdad among the vehicles for safety.

You didn't know it was the location for a music video. It was the closest place you saw to hide where he couldn't find you.

At first, they thought you were one of the extras in the video but as Jimin approached he noticed you cringed away from him.

He crouches in front of you and can tell your bruises are real, your tears are real. Yoongi, Taehyung, and Jungkook sit down not far from Jimin, knowing his compassionate nature, they let him take the lead.

You didn't acknowledge them at first, your head was lowered causing your hair to hang covering your face. You sat there waiting for one of them to start hitting you. It seems all anyone ever wanted to do.

Jimin reaches out to hold your hand and it startled you so he pulled his hand back. You look at him through your long hair. Thinking, 'When will he start yelling and hitting?'

Seeing the fear and panic in your eyes, he waves for the others to move back a little.

In a calm soothing voice, he says, "It's alright I won't hurt you. You are safe here." He slowly reaches out his hand and you timidly lift yours to meet his and his warm fingers gently enfold your hand in his.

You look at him and seeing the compassion in his eyes you crumble into him crying and he takes you in his arms.

Surprised he looks up at the others his chin quivering trying not to cry with you. Jimin softly brushes your hair from your face and they hear Yoongi gasp. They look at him.

Jimin asks, "Do you know her?"

Yoongi says, "I think so."

He reaches out to touch you on the shoulder and you turn a teary and bruised face towards the touch. He grimaces at the sight of the bruises and his heart breaks at the pain and fear he sees in your familiar blue eyes.

In disbelief he whispers "Allie?" you slowly nod your head.

He pulls you into his embrace and you willingly go. "Oh my God, Allie."

He is caressing your hair and shoulders. Softly placing kisses on your forehead.

Jungkook, ever curious asks, "Who is she hyung?"

Yoongi looks at them as he gently strokes your back to comfort you and answers, "She is the other half of my soul."

After you graduated from school and entered university, Yoongi moved to the dorm training to be an idol.  You lost track of each other.

He says, "She's the one friend in school that I could open up to. I don't think we could have been any closer. It felt as if we were two parts of the same person. She was my missing piece and I was hers."

At this confession from Yoongi, the others vowed to help you. Yoongi gave you his card with a note written on the back that he knew would give you access to him. He made you promise to keep the card with you always.

They helped you get care for your injuries with the first aid staff and spent the day with you as best they could.

When asked, you refused to call the authorities, it would do no good. It didn't help last time, only ended up in you receiving a broken arm as punishment.

They had to film together as a group so they left you with one of their Noona's from make-up. When they came back from filming they couldn't find you anywhere.

Noona told them that you had asked for the restroom and she pointed it out and that was the last she had seen of you.

Yoongi is worried and asks, "She left?"

They immediately started asking around if anyone noticed which way you had gone. Everyone was so busy they hadn't noticed.

That was the story of your life. No one notices you except your stepfather when he married your mom a few years ago. He noticed you but for all the wrong reasons.
