"What are you still doing here?"

Taehyung's heart stilled. 

The ability to feel his body and think clearly slipped out of his grasp. That night was a blurry memory filled with shame and guilt. His skin had dirty fingerprints and handprints all over it. He discovered them when he woke up. Taehyung dragged himself to the bathroom. A small clock told him that it was past four. What was he doing here anyway? 

He took a long glance at himself. Taehyung gripped the counter. His clothes were sticky. 

"Oh, Taehyung, are you in there?"

His breathing slowed down. Tears dotted his eyes. He didn't want to go through that again. 

He did. 

-------

There were pictures. Taehyung had been told repeatedly. Pictures of him in the most vulnerable positions. The janitor would have no hesitation in releasing them when given the chance. Taehyung tried to pay her off. It didn't work. She didn't want money, she wanted to ruin his reputation and make him the laughing stock of the world. 

"Don't tell anyone," she told him. "Unless you want pictures of your bare ass printed off on newspapers. You don't want videos of you on PornHub, do you?"

The worry ate Taehyung alive. It wasn't his fault, he knew it wasn't, but he found himself wondering why it was him who had to go through it. He didn't know how to deal with it. The bruises and handprints had faded, but he could still see the faint outline of them on his body. Taehyung spent ages in the shower, trying to get them off. They were tattooed onto him.

The others didn't notice anything up at all, other than the fact that Taehyung was quieter and was using up more of the hot water. 

The steam in the shower was suffocating. So was Taehyung's predicament and trauma.

------

Why had he let her use him like that? Why hadn't he told her to stop? Why didn't he push her off? 

Taehyung shuddered. 

"Are you okay?" Hoseok asked. 

Taehyung nodded. He felt tears cling to his eyes. 

"Is something going on Taehyungie? You can always talk to me if you need someone." 

"I'm okay, hyung."

-----

Did any of the others know? 

Taehyung panicked. The others were probably disgusted with him. They probably knew what happened to him. Maybe they had already seen the pictures. Maybe they had shared the videos to their friends. Maybe they had laughed at him. 

"Taehyung?"

He blinked up at Yoongi, who offered him a light smile. 

"You alright?"

"I'm okay. I'm just worried about the new dance."

"Ahhh... do you want me to help you with it?"

"Nah, I'm okay. Thanks for asking though."

Was something wrong with him? Yoongi wondered. Taehyung seemed detached from them now. Something was definitely wrong.
