I stayed at Rina's house that night, like Yoongi had asked me to. We didn't talk much, just sitting on the couch and watching some action movie, while I made myself a cup of my Mum's style spiced tea and poured Rina a glass of milk. 

She poked fun at me for switching over to tea, but even that sounded cautious and halfhearted, as if she was worried that even teasing me could cause me to break down. I felt quite over what had happened, suddenly, detached from it as if it had happened to someone else and not me, like I had seen it in a movie.

I sipped the hot tea slowly, letting the spices fill up my body, warming me to my toes. It was late enough here to call my parents, but I put my phone away after texting them that I was planning to call them the next morning, night for them. 

I snuggled into the thick blanket on the couch next to Rina, watching the hot lead actor dodge bullets and run, and do these flawless air flips and weird gymnastic shit. 

I snorted at how unrealistic it was, and thought about how funny it would have been to watch all my friends' reactions to it, and suddenly my mind turned to Taehyung... Taehyung! What had happened to him? What did he say to Daehyun? Where was he staying? 

Overflowing with questions, I reached out and grabbed my phone. On the lock screen I had three messages from Daehyun. Without bothering to open our chat, I blocked him, and then opened my chat with Taehyung.

We hadn't texted for a long while; the last texts there from a month ago, when he had wished me for my birthday, and then two more months before that, when I had wished him. I started to write a message at least four or five times, but ended up deleting everything and starting over. What should I even say?

Hey, thanks for sending Rina over to the restroom to check on me. Hope you're okay? Nope, definitely not.

Thank you for potentially stopping Daehyun from coming after me and maybe stopping me from actually getting assaulted? No.

I took a deep breath and was about to type something in again, when the screen turned grey. At the top was Taehyung's name. He was calling me?

I clicked on the green icon multiple times.

"Hello?"

"Hey, y/n."

"Uh...hi." You said that already, stupid, I told myself.

"Just wanted to check up on you. Make sure you're okay," he said softly.

"Oh...yeah, I'm fine Taehyung, thank you"

"That's good." He said quietly.

There was some silence and I figured he was about to end the call, so I asked quickly, "Taehyung?"

"Yeah?"

"When you went to get Daehyun... what happened? Are you...okay?"

"I'm fine, y/n, don't worry about me, and he's fine too, its not like I hit him or anything. He was coming after you, and I held him back, that's all."

That's all? He stopped him from coming into the restroom after me. I didn't even think of that then, that he might follow me. 

I had locked the door, but in a closed room, alone with a dude...oh god, the things that could've happened... I squeezed my eyes shut, refusing to continue that train of thought.

The words were out of my mouth. "Thank you, Taehyung. If you hadn't done that, if you hadn't told Rina, I don't know what would've happened. It could've been horrible. Thank you."

"It's no problem, y/n. Just try and forget about it for now, okay? Try and get some sleep. Tomorrow's a different day, so just try and forget about anything that happened today. I'll see you tomorrow, good night." He cut the call without even letting me reply.
