The rest of the party ended up going well, and everyone returned home safely. Aera was the last one to be dropped off, Dae pulling into the driveway of her house.

"Alright", Dae sighed as she put her car in park. "Tell me what's going on between you and Hanni".

Aera looked at her with a confused expression, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "What do you mean? Nothings going on".

"Aish! Don't play dumb with me! You and her with sitting out on the back porch the entire night!".

"So? Friends can't just make peaceful conversation? Nothings going on between us Dae, your just being nosy".

Dae scoffed at her words. "Nosy? I'm being the nosy one? You're the ones making it fucking obvious! Surprised yall haven't done anything yet", She mumbled.

"We haven't done anything yet because there's nothing happening!".

"Look me in the face and tell me you don't have feelings for her, look me right in the damn eyes and tell me you don't", Aera knew she couldn't lie to her best friend. Dae knew Aera well enough to know she was lying.

Aera sighed in defeat, looking away from her best friend's eyes. Dae shook her head with a smirk playing on her lips. "I knew it, why didn't you just tell me? I don't care what gender you like you know that".

"I know that Dae, I just...I never really thought about who I liked when it came to gender. Rather it was boys or girls, it just didn't cross my mind. But now that I'm realizing it...I really do like her".

"Oh I can tell, you look like you might pass out every time you see her".

Aera chuckled. "Shut up".

Dae shrugged. "Just saying, rather you like dick or vigina I'll love you the same".

"I'm getting out of the car now", Dae laughed, getting out and walking up to the front door.

As she closed the door behind her, she leaned against it with a small smile.

God, just thinking about her had her going insane.

She felt her phone vibrate, pulling it out to see Hanni had texted her.

Hanni <33: I had a lot of fun with you tonight:) see you at school on Monday<33

Yeah, it had been a good night.

The next day, Aera had went over to visit her Aunt JJ and her uncles while Elijah got to spend time with Jimin.

Aera knocked on their front door, holding a container of her homemade chocolate chip cookies in the other hand.

Taehyung opened the door to see his niece, giving her a welcoming smile. "Hello, sweetheart. Here, let me help you with that", he grabbed the container of cookies as he let her in. The house smelled of vanilla and sweet honeycomb, Aera knew that must've been Jada's doing.

"Oh! Hi baby girl", Jungkook greeted her with a hug, ruffling her hair. "Hi uncle Kookie", Aera smiled.

Jada walked in, just getting out of the shower. She greeted Aera with a hug and sweet kisses all over her face.

"I missed my sweet girl, what have you been up to? School going okay?" Aera hummed as she opened the container of cookies to share. Everyone sat down in the living room, making conversation as they ate the delicious treat.

"So", Taehyung grinned. "How has your my niece been?".

"I've been good, but...I kind of need advice on something", she admitted, getting their attention suddenly.

"Oh", Jada said, suddenly curious. "Well you can talk to us love, is it something too personal for mama and Appa?".

"Well mama knows about it, see...I have this crush on this girl", Aera began. "But I don't know how to really handle it".

"Oh", Jungkook breathed with relief. "That's all, sweet girl?".

"Of course we can help with that hun, honestly it's not as scary as it seems", Jada chuckled, knowing from personal experience. "When I was figuring out my sexuality, it was a bit scary I have to admit. But as time went on, I started to realize that I like both genders. I've been with men and women in the past. I was just lucky enough to be with these two", she added, grinning at her two lovers.

"I wouldn't suggest rushing into things with this girl, just take things slow. And when you feel ready, go and tell her how you feel", Jungkook advised.

"And even if she doesn't feel the same way, still be proud that you put yourself out there. That you were brave enough to express your feelings for her", Tae added.

"Thank you guys", Aera sighed, a bit more sure of what she should do now. "Do...Do you think Appa will be okay with it? Me liking both?".

"Oh babygirl, of course he will", Jungkook replied, bringing her into a hug. "He supports us doesn't he? Me and Tae and Aunt JJ are together and he is just as supportive of us".

He was right. If her Appa was supportive of her uncles and aunt, then he would be supportive of her as well.

"Just continue to explore and figuring out what you like and you think you're comfortable with okay? We will never judge you for loving who you want to love", Jada reassured, sharing a hug with her niece.

Aera was happy that they were nothing but supportive and gave her the help she needed. And now, she felt a bit more confident about telling her Appa.

After a few hours, Aera said goodbye to her aunt and uncles and headed home for the day.

She was pulling into the driveway of her house, getting out of her car and walking up to the front door. However, when she got to the front door, it was already open. She walked inside slowly, confusion written on her face.

She gasped slightly at the sight, dropping the container of cookies. Her mama and Elijah had their hands and legs tied up, duck tape on their mouths.

Their eyes widened at seeing her, begging for her to leave so she wouldn't get caught herself.

"M-Mama what's going-

But it was too late.

The next thing she knew, everything went blank.

Dark.
