*A/N: i was literally listening to Mikrokosmos the whole time i wrote this AHH i love the new album*

Jimin's Pov:

It was silent for a moment as Isabelle held me in her embrace. She soon let go and I stayed by her, looking back up at Jungkook with a small glare. I cleared my throat and he flinched, making his way up the stairs so me and Isabelle could be alone for a little.

"Why weren't you home? I was worried sick about you and I couldn't even contact you! How the hell did you even end up on the other side of town to Jungkook's house?!"

Isabelle stayed quiet, looking away as my eyes widened slightly. Isabelle realized this and held her hands up in defense while she pulled her long black hair in front of the crook of her neck.

"No no! It's not what you think! Jungkook just saw me walking the streets, looking uh— drunk.. and brought me here. It was nothing more than that!"

I questioned her alibi as Isabelle gave each me a small side eye. I sighed heavily and made my way towards the kitchen, scratching my neck. I heard her small feet trail behind me as she became closer. She grabbed my hand slightly before I pulled away gently. In response, she muttered something small under her breath before proceeding to backtrack her steps.

"Interesting.." I thought to myself.

I turned around and avoided eye contact with her as I made my way back. She stopped and I noticed her cheeks becoming flushed while she went to tug at a few strands of her black hair. She came to realize I was looking at her, worriedly or even confused. She hesitated for a moment before letting go of her hair.

"C'mon.. lets get you home. We can talk there." I said sternly, making my way past her and towards the stairs.

"Jungkook!! We're leaving! I'll text you later!" I yelled, as he made his way out of the room to signal me with a thumbs up.

Isabelle put on her sneakers and I grabbed her arm, pulling her towards the car as I started it. She stayed silent, as did I. The entire car ride was a silent one, but what rushed throughout my head was how those bruises appeared onto her beautiful skin. They weren't hickeys, no— or so I hoped. It was like she had gotten beaten up. By who.. and why?

~Time Lapse~

I pulled up into the driveway of her home as she began to unbuckle her seatbelt, but she was struggling. I placed my hand on top of hers, trying my very best to calm her shaking hands down. I gave her a small smile, trying to reassure her that everything would be okay, but all she could do was fake one back. Eventually she unbuckled it dashed out of the car into the house, as a large groan escaped my mouth.

"She's okay now, no need to worry." I lightly spoke, making my way out of the car to follow her footsteps.

As much as I wanted to choose to believe her, I knew she was lying to me. Everything she was doing, just seemed suspicious.. I couldn't believe what she said. Something big happened to her, and I was gonna figure out what it was no matter what it took. She deserved to be happy, not hurt.. and this? This is definitely something she did not deserve, whatever it was.

I closed the house door behind me and looked to see Taehyung standing in front of me once again. He gave a worried look as he raised his bushy eyebrows.

"Jimin? What the hell happened?! Is Isabelle okay?!" he whispered, throwing his hands in the same direction Isabelle ran.

I ignored and pushed him out of the way softly. I ran up the steps and stopped in front of Isabelle's door. I placed my hand against it and soon my forehead, wondering what she could be going through that left her so traumatized.
