The Bangtan Wall

Save Me

While Yoongi was talking with the others and asking Jin to fix you something to eat, back in your room, Jimin helped you stand up. You wobbled a little, and he put his arm around your waist. You flinch, and a soft "oh" escapes.

He tells you softly, "Let's get you in the shower and then dressed. Yoongi hyung should have something for you to eat by then."

As you enter the bathroom, you grab the cup at the sink like it is the most precious thing in the world and fill it up. After drinking many cups of water and not having any for days, you throw up.

"My God, how long have you been without food and water?" he asks, shocked at your reaction to drinking water.

You wipe your mouth, "I don't know, I lost track of the days."

He puts the toilet seat lid down and has you sit. He starts the shower, letting the water warm up while he gets towels and washcloths out for you.

He checks the water temperature with his hand and shakes the water off. "Up with you now," he says as he helps you to stand.

 "Turn around, Princess." 

You do as you're told, and he pulls your dirty t-shirt off over your head. You don't have the strength left to be modest at this point.

 Besides, you and Jimin had dated exclusively for a little over two years before he started touring with his members, and you were at university for your master's Degree. You've never felt awkward with each other.

"What the hell!" he curses as he sees red marks and bruises on your back and side. He hasn't turned you around yet, but he will. You knew what he would see would upset him even more, but you could do nothing to hide it.

He turns you to him to help you step into the shower when he sees them. Hand-shaped bruises on both your breasts and bite marks. Jimin's heart tears in two as it explodes with anger.

Angry Jimin says between clenched teeth, "I'll kill him. I will kill him twice if I can!" 

"Please, Jimin, no, just help me get away." You can't believe you have tears left to cry, but you feel them fall. 

Jimin reaches to caress your cheek gently, and you flinch a little. It tore him up seeing you flinch. Whoever did this to you was going to pay and pay dearly.

He kisses you on your cheek and helps you step into the shower. You can't stand for long, and you sink to the floor crouched in the corner of the shower, resting your head on your arms.

"Don't move. I'll be right back," says Jimin as he runs from the bathroom.

He goes to the living room and hurriedly pulls Jungkook aside, urgently demanding, "I need your shorts."

Shocked and confused, Jungkook asks, "Why do you need my shorts?"

"I need the shorts you wear under your pants, you know, the ones you wear OVER your underwear in case you want to work out."

Jungkook says, "Oh, yeah, sure." 

The others, overhearing Jimin, watch with curiosity as Jungkook removes his cargo pants and then his shorts. 

Jimin runs back to your room, undresses quickly, and puts the shorts on. He then comes into the bathroom and steps into the shower. He helps you to stand, facing you away from him.

He lets you lean on him as needed while he washes your body and your hair. He looks at your body for any more injuries and doesn't say anything when he finds more bruising on your inner thighs. His tears silently run down his face.

After he has you clean, he helps you step out of the shower, wraps a large bath towel around you, and uses another to dry the rest of your body.

"Okay, love. Once you are dressed, we will take you to the emergency room."

You're crying and begging him, "No, please, I just want to leave."

He sighs in resignation, "If anything worse happens because of your injuries, I don't care what you say; I'm taking you."

You meekly nod in acceptance.

He combs your damp hair and puts it in a quick ponytail since you can't lift your arms to do it yourself, and your hands still feel numb from being tied up. 

Still wrapped in the large towel you lean against him. He holds you in his arms as you begin to cry.
