Taehyung showed Ara around, leading her to a guest bathroom for her to freshen up. She takes a shower, feeling the warm water run over her body. Finally having privacy, not having to fear her father kicking in the door.

She finished up and change into clean clothes. Putting on a big gray sweater and just blue jeans.

She leaves the bathroom and puts her stuff back into her bag in the living room. Taehyung pops into the room, with a pep in his step. She turns to him and Taehyung gently grab her wrist and tugs her.

" Where are you taking me?" " To the kitchen." They walk in and Taehyung sat her down at the kitchen island they had in the middle of their kitchen.

Like always, she was once again in awe with the kitchen. Seeing how huge it was. Taehyung grabs ice from his freezer and put it in a rag. He walks back over to her and pulls a chair infront of her.

He went to place the rag on her cheek, but Ara flinch from the sudden movement. She felt bad for flinching from him, but she is not use to the kind gesture.

Taehyung stops and she drop her head. " sorry," is all she could say.

That didn't stop him. He takes his finger and gently lift her chin so that she was facing him again. " No need to be sorry. I could tell you've been through a lot."

A smile breaks onto her face and Taehyung gently place the rag with ice over her bruised cheek. He held it there, relaxing his elbow on the table.

It was quiet for a moment, but the silence was nice.The rest of the boys walked into the kitchen, they all stop in their track and Taehyung and Ara looks over at them.

Taehyung quickly pulls away and place the rag down on the table.

" What are you guys doing?" Ask J hope. " I was just helping her," says Taehyung. " With what?" Spoke up Yoongi.

They were now on the other side of the table, getting a good look at the giant bruise on Ara face. They couldn't help but stare. She could see the hurt in their eyes from the state of her face.

" What happened?" Ask Jungkook. Ara didn't want to say anything. She cover her face with her hand, feeling embarrassed. Taehyung looks at Jungkook, glaring at him. Jungkook eyes widen, turning to the fridge.

  The other were quiet too, knowing now what it was from. Taehyung looks at Ara, feeling bad. "Sorry." "No it fine. It's not your fault."

She built up the courage and dropped her hand from her face. "I think you guys probably know." They nod their heads, not knowing what to say.

"Can I ask," spoke up Namjoon. "Is that bruise from anyone close to you?" Ara didn't want to say anything, knowing it would hurt more saying it out loud. she dropped her head, looking at the table.

"I guess you could say that," she says with a shrug. " It was my dad. We were close at one point, but..." she then trailed off. She didn't want to relive the memory, but she had this bottle up for so many years now. She got to let it go.

" My dad and I use to do everything together. I was his little star. I use to look up to him when I was younger, but when my mother passed," she sighed. " It really took a toll on my dad. Like big time. He started drinking heavily and then became verbally abusive. We would get into screaming fights and just argue 24/7."

Ara started to choke up a bit, but she swallow the lump that was forming in her throat.

" W-When did he start to get physical?" Hoseok mange to get out. " When me and him got into it one day and then I told him that I hated him. He then slapped me. Ever since that day, he gotten worst. Everyday. Every night. He would just beat me up."

The memories started to flood back, making her tear up. " After yesterday night, I just had to get out of there. I didn't care where I went, I just needed to get away from him. I had no freedom when it came to him. I only had a phone, but it was only good to call and text."

She looks over at the beaten up track phone. Just wanting to throw it out of a window. She doesn't want anything that could remind her of her father.

" Well that change my view on you," spoke up Yoongi. Ara wanted to get mad, but she can understand where he was coming from. A random stranger in his home. Thinking that she's some crazy fan that Taehyung found. They have the right to get upset.

" Sorry for calling you homeless," says Namjoon. She looks at him and give him a smile. " It's fine."

Taehyung reached over and touch her shoulder gently, not wanting to scare her. " Well you're safe now. I don't know if the others agree with me, but you're safe here and he can't get you or find you."

The others jumped in. " We agree. You're safe here. It just hurts to see that you're still hurt from this," says Jimin. " Yeah. You're welcome to stay here as long as you want," says Jin.

Ara couldn't help but smile, maybe tearing up a bit. She nod her head, knowing her voice will crack if she try to talk. " You don't deserve to be hurt. Nobody does," says Jungkook.

For only knowing these boys for such a short period of time, she felt like she knew them forever. " Thank you. I really appreciate it." They nodded, smiles on their faces. " So I guess it's time for you guys tell me who you are."
