Taehyung showed up a little later to give us an update on Minho's condition. He had a lot of bruising on his face as well as a cut lip and eyebrow. He had a broken rib and some bruising on his stomach as well. He had a cut on his head and a slight concussion, but he was expected to make a full recovery. Taehyung had brought some dinner as we all realized it was past dinner time and none of us had eaten. I could tell that Taehyung felt a little uneasy around me and I remembered that he didn't know anything so I can't imagine all the questions that were going through his head right now. He had seen enough and deserved to know.

"Jay was my ex." I was playing with my food and didn't look up to see what his reaction was at all. "He was super sweet when we first met and then everything changed. He didn't like that I was hanging out Minho so much. He was abusive and controlling. He's hurt Minho before and yet, Minho doesn't leave." I laughed a little to myself just thinking about all the shit Minho and I have been through. "He's angry that I'm close with other guys again and this is his way of isolating me...by hurting me and those I care about."

"I'm sorry." I looked up at Taehyung who looked heartbroken for me.

"It's not your fault. It's mine. I should have never gotten involved with him." I went back to picking through my food.

"How could you have known he was bad news." He walked over next to me and put his arm around my shoulder. "We got your back. The police will find him and you won't have to worry about him anymore." I laid my head down on his shoulder.

"Thanks Tae." I felt him kiss the top of my head and then pull away. I looked over at Jungkook who was smiling at the interaction between Taehyung and I and I couldn't help but to smile as well. Taehyung looked at his phone and then put it back in is pocket.

"Well, I should be going. Jungkook, you going to your training tomorrow morning or should I tell them to cancel it?" I looked from Taehyung to Jungkook.

"Oh umm. I'll tell the instructor not to worry about it. Thanks for the reminder."

"No problem. See you Riley." Taehyung left and then I turned to Jungkook.

"Training?" He was picking up some dishes and putting them in the sink.

"Ya. I took up boxing a while back to help me stay in shape and learn something new." I stood up and helped him put the leftover food away and clean up.

"You should teach me." He stopped what he was doing and turned towards me.

"Teach you?"

"Ya, like some moves that would help in the future maybe." I felt nervous and I didn't know if it was because I was asking to spend more time with him or nervous that I may actually need to learn how to fight.

"Sure...when you're feeling better." He continued to wash the dishes as I started drying them. Our conversation turned to the new album and the different songs that we were creating. I told him about some other beats I was creating and he told me some lyrics that he had written. We talked about past albums and for some reason, he didn't believe me that I had all their albums. I went and grabbed some and started playing them all. I loved playing music and just jamming out; it was a great stress reliever for me. We sang along to the songs at the top of our lungs, well, he mostly did as my throat was still sore, and he even showed me how well he remembers some of the old dances. I tried to dance along with him, but had to stop because my stomach was still aching. When one of the slow songs came on, he walked closer to me and grabbed one of my hands, putting his other hand on my waist. I took my free hand and placed it on his shoulder as I followed his lead in dancing. About halfway through the song, I let go of his hand and placed my arms around his neck and he responded by pulling me closer. I laid my head on his chest and I felt his cheek rest on the top of my head. I felt so at peace in his arms and could stay there forever.
