Taehyung was going about his day and his shoots as usual. Smiling and charming, but little did he know that someone had set his eyes on him and was obsessed to the point where he believed Tae was flirting and leading him on and it brought on his str...
Jungkook and Jimin stayed in the room with Tae while others were in the lounge area with Seijn and Jisou (the therapist). They were explaining the situation to them and surely enough Jisou confirmed that Tae had a breakdown. She had been trying with him but he had been quite closed off, but she apologized nevertheless for not being able to help Tae avoid it.
"So...what do we do now" Asked Yoongi after explaining the situation.
"Well...I would say that all of you take a weekend trip to a nice place and take care of him. Get him to open up and be okay with having emotional breakdown if needed, tell him its okay to feel scared or feel like crying. Get him to accept his emotions, only then he will be able to move on from them. He has been in denial uptill now, and that causes a build up which then leads to a breakdown. Take him to a place where only you guys are around him, where he feels relaxed and safe to express himself and confide in you all. It would also help him heal from the trauma."
Namjoon felt Jisou's advice was a useful one, but he looked at Seijn and saw the same worry cross his eyes. Namjoon wants to, and needs to take of Tae, but their schedule had already been pushed so far...would they be able to take further days off?
Namjoon felt a hand on his shoulder and looked back at Jin giving him a worried and yet reassuring smile. It immediately reminded Namjoon what his priorities were, the ones BTS was built on. Tae comes first.
--------------------------------2 days later--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything was set. Their weekend getaway location was not too far, but not too near to the city either. It was perfect place to relax. It was going to be just the 7 members and very limited staff and definitely no cameras. It was busy in the dorm as packing was underway and loud discussions accompanied it.
Tae was to video chat with Jisou everyday and Jimin was going to make sure he kept to that. Jungkook had taken upon himself to make sure that Tae had fun and packed all matter of games to the weekend getaway. In contrast Yoongi was trying to make sure Tae got enough rest, leading to Yoongi yanking games out of Jungkook's hands and trying to convince him NOT to occupy Tae so much with them.
JIN's POV
Jin stood there smiling at their cute argument, they both cared so much, and sucked at showing it, hence stuck to what they could do for Tae, Yoongi making sure he rested, while Jungkook making sure he had fun enough to be happy again.
Who am I to judge them
Jin thought to himself looking back at the kitchen where he had packed multiple boxes of Tae's favorite foods to make sure Tae ate properly.

After a few hours trip they all safely reached their vacation house. It was beautiful and serene. They could hear the birds chirping as the sky dipped in the red of sunset. It was clearly uplifting the mood of all members, the worry lines and sad smiles replaced with a look of tranquility and peace. Tae was also smiling fully while Jungkook and Jimin stuck to his sides like two guards.
Everyone settled in and started having fun. The hours went by quickly, the worries and fears long forgotten as all 7 members immersed themselves in the holiday spirit. They danced, sang, had barbeque and even planned for the two days. All was well until night fell. It seemed that Tae's conditioned worsened during the night when his fears and memories came flooding. Jisou had warned them about it and that was the reason there were four people in one room instead of the normal two. Tae had Jimin, Jungkook not leaving his side and Yoongi added a sense of security Tae needed, and the biggest improvement was that Tae himself asked Yoongi to stay after talking to Jisou who suggested as much. Yoongi himself slept better knowing that he could keep an eye on him.
Tae's POV
The next morning Tae woke up to all the members gathered in the kitchen. They all looked up when he entered the room, almost tensed up.
"Good mornin...what's wrong" Tae asked sensing the tension in the air.
"Oh, nothing Tae, we were actually discussing staying here for another 2 days...what do you think? Namjoon said, with his dimples visible with the big smile he was giving. But Tae had a feeling that smile was forced, because his eyes held no excitement, only worry. Most of them had the same expression.
They are such bad liars. Tae thought, but let it slip, knowing he would eventually find out.
Tae's suspicions only grew when he saw quite a few new guards stationed around the area. The members seemed to be a lot more cautious too, even Jungkook. Ignoring his growing suspicions Tae played volleyball with everyone as planned.
Once again, everyone forgot their worries and played around like a bunch of kids that they were. It was followed by a campfire and star gazing. But, it was really meant to get Tae to open up and share whatever he was feeling. Which he did, a bit, it was enough for the night.
" You get the dishes Kook! don't ask your Hyung to do it! What are your muscles for haan?? Jimin was teasing Jungkook as usual.
"Yaaa! Who ate the cake piece I had set aside??" Jin was yelling to which Jhope smiled yelled back "me" and started to run inside.
Before Jin could run after him, a crash sounded near the cooled down campfire, with a sheepish Namjoon standing near it, hands covered black. "oops" he mouthed which was followed fits of laughter and a "YAH" from Jin.Tae was simply looking at the scene, it felt so normal, so like them, like old times, a feeling of home and safety.
Suddenly, he felt something brush up against his bare ankle. It seemed like a paper. Tae picked it up, it was a photograph from one of their shoots.
For a second Tae was confused, smiling at the photograph until he recalled which shoot it was from. It was that shoot, that day, when Sal had attacked him! Tae dropped the photograph as a gasp escaped his lips. The photograph laid flipped on the sand, and it was only then Tae saw words written on it.
"I will destroy you, like you destroyed me slut"
Suddenly everything clicked in Tae's mind, the members cautiousness, the guards, staying longer...he was here, he was coming for him!
