"Whatever I fill becomes emptier. The more we're together, I feel lonelier..."
I wake up to the sound of Jin's singing mixed with the scent of bacon lingering in the air. I start remembering what happened yesterday and stuff my face in my pillow. You were just about to go back to sleep, not wanting to get up, but you were interrupted by two soft knocks on your door.
"Eun, are you awake?" Jimin's soft and cheery voice asks you.
"No, I'm asleep." you mumble, loud enough for him to hear.
"I'm coming in!" he announces and opens the door.
"Hey, are you feeling any better?" he asks as he comes and sits down beside you.
"Yeah, I guess. Just a bit tired." you lift your head from the pillow.
"Well, breakfast's ready. Do you want me to bring it here?" he asks you and ruffles your messy hair, making it even messier.
"Don't treat me like a kid," you pout and try to sort your hair. "But I can come down and eat together."
"Okay, take your time." he gives you a small smile and leaves the room, closing the door after him.
You move the silky covers aside and get up from your bed too fast, making you a little lightheaded. You stand there for a while and wait for it to pass, and continue your way to the bathroom. You switch the bright lights on and look at yourself in the mirror, sighing. You take your purple toothbrush in your hand and put minty toothpaste on after wetting it. You start brushing your teeth while humming a song.
"Good morning." you say as you enter the kitchen where everyone is immersed in eating.
"Oh, good morning." Namjoon greets you back, followed by the others.
You sit down beside Yoongi, where there's a plate full of food that's meant for you.
"Thank you for helping me yesterday." you quietly thank him and give him a little smile.
"I-it was nothing." he nervously gulps down his coffee, followed by a couple of coughs.
"So uh, what happened with Areum?" you ask as you fiddle with the mug in front of you.
It was quiet at first as everyone looked around. Hoseok remained still, a bit too still.
"We sent her back, since we couldn't hurt her because of our connections with her father." Namjoon finally said, ending it with a sigh.
You watch as Hoseok aggressively starts cutting his egg, almost breaking the whole plate. You think about what he said in the basement before Jungkook took you upstairs. You could feel his anger then. You gulp and start eating your bacon, trying to forget the whole thing.
"You're taking this quite well." Taehyung says after taking a sip of his light coffee.
"Well, you'd think after all I've been through." you place your utensils down and get up from your chair. "Thank you for the food."
"Maybe you shouldn't assume things." Jungkook says to Taehyung with a low voice.
You sit down on your bed, letting out a deep sigh. You run your fingers through your hair and think about what you heard when Jungkook thought you were asleep.
"You must also miss your parents?"
"Fuck, what right do I have to cry? It's all my fucking fault."
You think about those words, not even noticing the tears that are falling on your exposed knees.
"It's all my fault too." you whisper with a quivering voice.
You stand up, wiping the wet tears from your cheeks. You've had enough. You open your door while taking a deep breath and start heading towards the kitchen, again, but this time it's not to go eat. You enter the kitchen, making everyone turn their head towards you.
"I can't do this anymore. I tried to act brave and that I wasn't so damn scared. I didn't come here with free will, but please, let me leave with free will. I can live by myself." you let out a relieved breath as you finish saying what you wanted.
You wait for the eruption of laughter, but it never comes. You just look at their shocked faces.
"I understand how you feel. That's why we've been talking about this for a while." Namjoon says and looks at Yoongi.
"We've cut all ties with other organistations. It wasn't easy, but we want to live a normal life again, and we thought if we could do that with you, back at where you live." Yoongi says with a serious expression.
"We know that we can't just stop this this easily, but others won't do anything rash if we live in a city, so you wouldn't have to worry. This might sound absurd and stupid, and I understand if you don't want us to come with you. We'll send you home if you want to, but we don't want to lose you." Namjoon looks at you with a sad expression.
You look at them, the shocked expression now on your face.
"I-I'll have to think about it." you finally get your words together.
"Of course, we can wait." Namjoon gives you a reassuring smile.
You turn around, still processing everything. You go upstairs again as you need some time by yourself. You didn't want to lose them but you wanted to get away from their lifestyle. Now they're telling you they want to get rid of their lifestyle and that they don't want to lose you either. You cover your smile with your hand.
"Agh, am I doing the right thing?" you pace around your room.
After a while, you had made your decision. It was rash, but it felt right. You head towards the living room in a fast pace. You see all of them sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.
"It's okay," you start, getting their attention. "It's okay for you to come with me."
All of them jump up with a big smile on their faces. They run to you and trap you with a group hug.
"You're still a bunch of kids, I don't think this is such a good idea anymore." you tease them, making them protest loudly.
"I'm glad you chose this." Hoseok whispers to you as you both are still involved in the group hug.
You feel your face heat up, and not from the heat of the group hug.
"I'm also glad." you chuckle.
"So, how are you going to fit in my house?" you nervously chuckle.
"We will, uh, take care of it." Namjoon scratches his neck.
The room is soon filled with laughter instead of the tears your other choice would've caused.
All of this was just the beginning of your journey together. Thank you for being a part of it.

-A/N: So, this is the end of this book. It's really been fun reading all of your comments and feedback and just writing this, even though I've had some things going on that have made the uploads take some time. Thank you all for being a part of this. I never even thought I would have this many amazing readers. I'm not that proud of this ending because I really just didn't know how to end this book and I felt that I was just so confused about what was going on with this. I still need to edit some of the chapters, but I hope you approve of this ending and liked this story! Thank you💜
