Chasing Butterflies

Life wasn't easy, it wasn't a picnic or an afternoon spent chasing butterflies. Life was the longest and hardest feat that any of them had ever faced. It was cruel and unforgiving, and whenever things seemed to be looking up, it would always knock them back down.

Life had taught them what it means to be in pain, to suffer, to be scared and alone.

But somehow, they found comfort in a most unexpected place and they found a home in each other.

Even when it seemed like they couldn't go on, these eight friends held on to each other, and they made it through together.

It turns out that life isn't so scary...when you have friends by your side.

"Izzy, what happened today?" She couldn't help but notice the pain that laced his soft voice.

Her head shook from side to side, "I can't tell you." She hated how weak she sounded, absolutely hated it.

"Izzy," Yoongi's stern tone made her flinch, "We know something's wrong. Whatever it is, you can tell us." Izzy glanced up at the boys, tears starting to pool in her eyes. "We've had our share of shitty days," the boys nodded solemnly at this, dark looks on their faces. "So trust me when I say that whatever you're going through, we would never judge you for it."

Izzy looked around at all of them, a tear finally rolling down her cheek. They stared back at her with seven pairs of soft eyes.

"Why do you guys care so much? Why do you care at all?" She mumbled quietly, casting her gaze down at the floor.

A pair of hands engulfed her own where they lay in her lap. "Because you're our person." Jimin's beautiful chocolate eyes bored into her own. "And we would do anything to protect you. Even if it's from yourself."

Dedicated to my best friend, thanks for putting up with me. Love youuu :P
