~TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!!!!!~

   Sayora was flabbergasted at the bombshell Andy dropped.

  "Julie is Charlie's wife."

  She didn't know what to think. Couldn't fathom what to do. Going to the authorities to protect herself but more importantly Andy now seemed for naught. Instead it had just brought him closer than ever. What to do now? Everything now seemed more daunting. Peril imminent.

  "What does Charlie have to do with you, Andy? Jungkook asked. "I get that he's Sayora's stalker but how do you tie in?"

    Sayora watched as Andy looked up at Jungkook. Andy never spoke of the torture she suffered at the hands of Charles. She never leaned on her twin Aisha, her brother Mac, or Sayora. After getting out of the hospital and only half testifying in court she acted like it never happened..

  The three of them Sayora, Mac, and Aisha knew she suffered. But she suffered alone silently. They watched her change. Watched as she morphed from a smiling open girl to the solitary distant women she became. Only through dance do they glimpse at the girl she once was.

    "Charlie is my cousin." Andy started. 

  Sayora held her breath. Would Andy open up and actually speak of it? She watched as Andy wrapped Jungkook's arms around her.

~TRIGGER WARNING~

  "Aisha, Mac, and I grew up in an abusive home. Our parents relished in getting drunk and hitting. To protect my siblings including the two older sisters you guys haven't met, I would put myself in my parents sight and take the abuse. When they died in a drunken car crash we were taken in by our aunt. She had a son, Charles. Charles took an interest in me. At first things were good. I believed he felt bad for the abuse I suffered. So I was happy. I felt safe and loved by my new family. Charlie was like a big brother to me. One day in school a bully tried to attack Aisha and I stepped in taking her place.  Charlie was the one to pick me up when the school called. I told him what happened. I was proud I protected my sister. Things started to change that day.  He slowly began to manipulate me. Using my need to protect my siblings. Threatening harm to them if I didn't do what he wanted. On my 11th birthday Charlie came storming into the house raging. He dragged me to his room. Said if I cried or made a sound he would kill Aisha and Mac. I stayed silent.  As he cut open my thighs I didn't cry. I didn't scream as he sliced into my back. I laid silently as he took away the last vestiges of innocence I had. My Aunt opened his door with Sayora and Aisha behind her as he had me tied down, blood everywhere, inside me."

~END OF TRIGGER~

  Sayora was sobbing into Hobi's chest as Andy told her story. She knew the story of course. She even testified to what she saw, but it was still heart breaking.

  Andy looked at Jungkook wiping the tears off his face. "Don't cry, Kook. I don't." She whispered.

  Jungkook wrapped her tighter in his arms. He looked around at all the guys. Just like him there were tears streaming down their cheeks for the girl he was protectively and lovingly holding in his arms. 

   "How did something like that get released from prison?" Yoongi spat.

  "I omitted the truth of the severity and lied about the rape." Andy flatly answered.

   "What? Why?" Jin exclaimed. 

  "Julie visited me in the hospital. Just like her husband she knew of my protective instincts."

  Sayora gasped. She never knew that. She opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by the ringing of Andy's phone.

   "Hey, Gyeomie."

  Sayora's jaw dropped. Who is Gyeomie? Surely not Yugyeom from her cousin's idol group. Why hasn't she ever heard mention of this Gyeomie before? Is this why Andy is in Korea?

  She listened as Andy rambled on in conversation with her mystery Gyeomie. 

  "I'll be back soon." Pause. "No, I didn't forget about my appointment." Pause. "You're such a nag." Pause. "Okay. C-ya soon." Pause. "Love you too Dork, bye." 

  Sayora bit her tongue just long enough for Andy to slip her phone back in her pocket. "Was that a boyfriend? Is Gyeomie, Yugyeom from GOT7? Why haven't me or your siblings heard of him? Is he why you are in Korea? OMG you're having a secret relationship and doing the nasty."

   Andy bursted into laughter at Sayora's verbal diarrhea. Once she felt she had her laughter contained she spoke. "No, not a boyfriend, he's my best friend. Yes Gyeomie is Yugyeom from GOT7. Umm.... Y'all have never heard me speak of him because I don't . He is and isn't the reason I'm in Korea. As for the last two you're crazy."

  "Yugyeom's hot though. You'd be a hot couple." Sayora smiled.

  Andy shook her head. "I'm not doing this."

  "What? A relationship with your Gyeomie?" Sayora laughed.

  "No. And that's not going to happen. I mean this getting into my personal life and girl talk crap. That's an Aisha and you thing." Andy sighed and made to get out of Jungkook's lap. "I'm going to go."

  Sayora watched as Andy said good bye's and headed to the door . "Where are you staying? What hotel?"

  Andy turned to face Sayora. "I'm not staying in a hotel. I'm going to my house. See you guys tomorrow."

  Sayora smiled sadly at Jungkook who had eyes turned to the door that Andy had just left. The boy had it bad.

  She watched as Jungkook's head jerked around and down when his phone buzzed.
