*Grace POV*

"Namjoon and Jin want to talk to you. I can stay with them." Taehyung spoke.

Hoseok left and closed the door behind him.

"Did Jimin say why Morgan went to the cafe with Yoongi?" I asked after locking the door.

"Yoongi goes there when he can't sleep or is very stressed. Jimin said she went to check on him." Taehyung answered.

I nodded and looked down, just trying to process everything.

"Are you ok?" He asked, taking a step towards me.

"Yeah. Do you want something to drink?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Sure. Water is fine." He smiled.

He followed me to the kitchen and I grabbed a bottle out of the fridge for both of us.

I sat on the counter, thinking about everything that is happening.

"Yvee, is everything okay? You look stressed." His deep voice shook me from my thoughts.

"I'm fine. Just worried."

"You know I won't anything happen to you, right?"

"I know, and I trust you. But I can't help but be worried."

This is different, I can't fight back like I normally would. The fewer people that know my past, the fewer people that could get hurt.

"You did really great at the dance competion by the way." He spoke.

"Thanks." I managed to smile.

"Theres that smile!"

I gave him a perplexed look.

"If I can make you smile then you aren't thinking of things that make you worry. And if you aren't worrying about things, then you can have more fun!" I laughed at his logic, now seeing that he was right.

"Thanks Tae."

I jumped down from the counter and walked back to the living room. Tae followed me and we plopped onto the couch. My sketch book was laying on the arm of the couch.

"Is this yours?" He held it up for me to see.

"Yeah. I thought I put it back in my room."

"May I?"

"Sure."

He flipped through the pages, admiring each drawing. He stopped at my most recent one, unable stop staring.

"Did- is this me?" He asked, pointing to the page.

"No!" I exclaimed, flustered.
"I just decided what I wanted it to look like as I drew it."

"Aww, I was hoping that it was me." He laughed. "You're extremely talented."

"Thank you." I smiled. He closed the book and handed it back to me.
