Let Me Love You

Home

You finally arrived at Jiyong's house. It was a silent walk inside, everyone was too tired to talk. "Rae, do you need anything before I go to bed? I don't want you to need me and I not be there and-" you grabbed your friend and hugged her. "Thank you Chelsea. I'm okay, go to bed." She pulled away, saying goodnight before heading off to her room. "I can sleep on the couch or something, you know if you don't have my room or-" Ji started shaking his head, pulling you into a hug. "I'm so so glad you're okay. I was going crazy. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep.. I thought you were dead." He harshly pulled away. Oh no. "I thought you were fucking dead Rae. Dead! What the hell were you thinking? You put yourself in serious danger, what would I have done if something happened to you? Chelsea? What about Woozi and the other members? Huh? You can't do stupid shit like that! You could be dead right now, oh my god I don't know what I would do.. I'm so pissed right now, damn Rae." 

You kept your head down the entire time he yelled at you. He was right, it was dumb for you to go. You just didn't want anyone to get hurt.. You didn't cry. You had no energy to cry. You shuffled over to where he was standing, and grabbed his hand. He sighed, pulling you in for another hug. "Don't you dare ever do anything like that again, okay?" You only had the strength to nod your head, sighing at the warmth from his embrace. "You can head to bed if you want, I'm going to get something from the kitchen." You mumbled, not being able to talk above a whisper. "I'll wait in the living room, I don't-" You lightly brushed your lips against his, interrupting him. "You're exhausted. I'm okay down here alone. I'll be in your room in a few." He reluctantly nodded his head. "Its the third door on the right upstairs. Hurry up, okay?" Ji pressed a long kiss to your forehead, leaving you alone downstairs. 

Making your way into the kitchen, you noticed a phone charger sitting on a small table. Quickly grabbing it, you plugged it into an outlet in the kitchen, looking for any new messages. Just as you were about to click on one, your phone started buzzing. Unknown number. Your stomach dropped, and you almost didn't answer. "H-hello?" There was some shuffling and a slight pause, before Woozi's voice flooded through the phone. "Rae? Oh my god, Rae. Are you alright? Chelsea called me and told me everything... I need to see you. We need to talk." You sighed, glad to hear Woozi's voice. "I'm okay, a little shaken but I'm okay. Why are you calling me from an unknown number? Scared me half to death." Slowly your heart rate was slowing down. "New number, new phone. For touring purposes. I really need to see you, the other members do too. Can you head over? Please?" Was he crazy? It's 2am and he wants you to come over? Jiyong will be pissed... "Woozi, do you realize the time?"

"Yeah I know, but I don't think I can wait much longer, and neither can the others. Hoshi is literally sitting on top of me waiting until you say you're coming over. Don't torture me any longer, pl-" "RAE PLEASE I NEED TO SEE FOR MYSELF THAT YOU ARE OKAY COME OVER THIS INSTANT!" Hoshi's voice loudly came through the phone, making you jump. Silently chuckling you agreed, telling him you'll text him when you head over. Searching through the pantry, you found a granola bar and decided that would make due for now. You quietly headed upstairs, counting until you found the third door on the right. You peaked your head in, finding Jiyong curled up on his bed, fast asleep. You didn't want to wake him, you know he needs rest. Maybe you could shower before heading over. 

About 20 minutes later you were on your way over to Woozi's. The sun was just starting to rise, and the sky was a beautiful orange-pink color. You pulled out your phone, snapping a photo. The shutter made your heart thump fast. Oh how you missed photography, you really needed to get back on that. Get a job, move on with your life. You approached the dorm, your stomach going crazy with butterflies. You could only knock once before the door flew open, a very tired Hoshi standing there with wide eyes. "Hoshi! He-" He pulled you into a bear hug, burying his face into your hair. "We were all so worried about you. C'mon, the other members are in here." You were particularly close with Hoshi, he was one of your best friends.

"Guys! Rae is here!" You could barely say hi before a small figure with now lilac colored hair ran into you, almost knocking you over. Your arms flew around Woozi's neck, tears flowing down your face. Oh how you missed him. He pulled away, grabbing your face. His eyes roamed your shaking figure, making sure that there were no injuries. "You're okay right?" His eyes held worry, and it made your heart sink with guilt. "I'm okay. I promise. I just missed you." You went and talked to the other members, filling them in and talking about what you've missed while you were gone. It felt like home. You were laughing and talking, not a care in the world. You even forgot you left Jiyong and Chelsea back at Ji's house, them not knowing you had come to the Seventeen dorm...

---------------------------

You slowly woke up, light filling the living room. The boys were laying all around the room. Mingyu and Wonwoo were curled up on the love seat, Boo was sprawled out in a chair, Vernon and Dino were under the table, DK was leaned against the TV stand, The8 and Jun were on top of each other on the floor, S Coups, Jeonghan, and Joshua were all on another small couch, and you, Woozi, and Hoshi were all laying on the main couch, you being pressed against Woozi. You smiled softly at his sleeping form. He looked so young in his sleep, like a small child. You carefully wriggled out of his grasp, and stared climbing over the boys. You were now closest to DK, and decided to wake him up and let him know you were heading back to Jiyong's. His eyes slowly opened, and as soon as he saw it was you his smile brightened the room. "I'm heading back home, if anyone asks just tell them that. I'll text Woozi when I get home." He nodded, still tired. 

It was about noon when you started walking back home. You hadn't even bothered to check your phone, you were so content with life at the moment, and you didn't want anything to ruin it. You were so lost in thought you almost didn't notice the crowd of police cars in front of Jiyong's house. Your stomach dropped, why were there cops? You ran to the house as fast as you could, not wanting to waste anymore time. Oh no, oh no please tell me Chelsea and Jiyong are okay. Once you reached the house, you knocked into the door, almost falling as you entered Ji's home. 3 cops, Ji, and a puffy-faced Chels turned to look at you. This could not be good.
