Little Peach *Completed*

Chapter 7

Jin's POV

"Little Peeeaach, where are youuuu?" I call playfully, walking around the living room like I don't know where she is. What she doesn't know is I can hear her giggling from behind the armchair in the corner of the room. I move over to the armchair, dramatically flopping down into it and sigh loudly.

"Oh I guess I can't find Gracie, I'm no good at this game..." I'm stopped by hands covering my eyes.

"Guess who Jinnie!" Comes her sweet playful voice.

"Is that my Little Peach? I thought I'd never find you!" Chuckling as her hands drop from my eyes and her arms come round my neck hugging me.

"Ah Hyung you finally found her!" Jungkook teases as he walks in with a bottle of water.

"Bunny dink!" Gracie demands as she pushes her way out from behind the armchair towards Jungkook.

"Careful Gracie, don't rush." I say firmly, worried she might hurt herself.

"Otay Jinnie, sowwy."

"Go with Bunny and he'll get you a drink." I say smiling at her, letting her know she's not in trouble.

"Jump Bunny!" She commands as she bounces like a rabbit out of the room.

Jungkook looks at me embarrassed. "You heard the girl, jump!" I laugh, watching as the maknae sighs before he follows behind her jumping.

Jungkook's POV

How does she get me to make a fool of myself?

I shake my head and smile to myself as I fill Gracie a cup with some milk, turning to place it in front of her on the breakfast bar.

"Tanks Bunny!" She beams carefully holding the cup in both hands as she takes mouthful.

She's so innocent and cute, how could anyone do those things to her?

"Bunny sad?" Gracie's frowning at me.

"No Gracie, I'm not sad, don't worry. Drink your milk ok?" I say forcing a smile onto my face.

"Otay..." she says followed swiftly by a yawn.

"You sleepy Gracie? You want to go nap?" I ask softly noticing how tired she looks.

"Mhm, nap, up pwease." Her hands grabbing for me.

I scoop her up, her head resting on my shoulder as I carry her up to her room. I carefully set her down on the bed, pulling the covers up over her as her eyes start to droop, her thumb finding it's way to her mouth.

I stand and look over her for a few minutes, waiting to make sure she'd fallen asleep before leaving her, the door cracked slightly so we can check in on her without disturbing her.

Taehyung's POV

"Jungkook, where's Gracie?" I say, my chest tightening when I see she's not with him.

"She was tired so I took her up for a nap. She's fine Hyung, I stayed with her until she fell asleep." He assures me.

"She'll be ok Tae, she's had a good day, we can take it in turns to go up and check on her." Jin suggests.

I feel myself sink back into my seat, feeling slightly less worried about her being on her own.

"She seems to be warming to us, especially when she's in little space." Namjoon announces a smile on his face.

"I'm so proud that she asked for something she wanted." Jimin adds, his hand over his heart as he remembers.

We sit thinking about how quickly she's settled in, how quickly she's learning how her life should be.

"Hey where's Grace?" Yoongi says shuffling into the living room with a yawn.

"She's in her room having a nap." Jungkook explains.

"Uh, no she's not? I just looked in there because the door was open a little, but there was no one in there." Yoongi says confused.

I jump up, pushing past Yoongi, taking the stairs two at a time to get to her room as quick as I can. "Grace! Sweetheart where are you?!" I shout, trying not to sound as panicked as I feel.

"She's really not in here?" Jungkook asks near tears as he comes rushing in behind me.

"Fuck!" I shout my hands pulling at my hair in frustration.

"Hyung I'm sorry..." Jungkook croaks, tears spilling down his cheeks.

"It's not your fault Jungkook, go with Hobi and wait in your room, you don't want her to see you upset like this." Jin says firmly taking control of the situation, Jungkook biting his lip trying not to cry as he leaves the room following Hobi.

"Right split up, don't panic, and let us know if you find anything." Jin instructs, we all nod in agreement and split off through the house.

Grace's POV

"Grace! Sweetheart where are you?!"

"Fuck!"

Stay quiet, they sound mad, it's not good when they're mad with you...

I curl myself up tighter, making myself as small as possible. I learnt quickly that the smaller you are, the less of you there is to hit.

I'd woken from another bad dream, but I didn't want to disturb them again, so I tried to calm myself by splashing some water on my face. Only when I saw myself in the mirror, I fell into a panic attack, clawing at my throat as I struggled to catch my breath. I pushed myself back into the corner of the bathroom, trying sooth myself. They've already done so much for me...

I'm stuck in here, I don't want them to be angry with me for not saying anything when I heard them just now. Maybe if I punish myself first, they'll see how sorry I am...

Taehyung's POV

Where could she be?! I will never forgive myself if she ends up back with that psycho!

"Still haven't found her?" Hobi asks urgently.

I shake my head, not daring to speak in case the tears come, knowing full well they won't stop.

"Guys! Now!" Comes a loud and pained voice from the stairs.

Everyone comes running from where they are in the house, freezing when we get to the stairs and see Grace in Yoongi's arms.

No...no...Grace what have you done?!
