Chapters 1 to 19 have been re edited.
In other words there are changes so it's best to read from the start because you might experience confusion and you will miss out on some stuff if you just continue ahead without going back.
It's up to you.
I'm just trying to improve my work and doing my part in notifying you.
Enjoy💜

You're standing in the police station alone infront of the cell of the two thugs as the others are in Chief Hwan's office.

It's not working...

I'll just use my phone's light...

I take out my phone and enable the torch feature.
And that's when I see it...
The thugs are dead...
My whole body shakes at the sight of them laying unmoving on the floor.
I put my hand on my mouth feeling fear rise within me as I try to comprehend what I'm seeing.
Trying to distinguish if it's reality or just a dream.
But the more I look...
The more I realize the horrific truth...
The truth being that all of this is real.
But eventhough I'm feeling fear mixed with confusion I manage to will myself to call for help.

Stella: Help!!!!!
Help!!!!
Oh god...

This...how...why...?

Who would...

You stare at the sight feeling more and more panicked.
You try to look away but you feel like you're unable to do so.
You start feeling dizzy as frantic footsteps sound in the distance.
You close your eyes and let out a few breaths trying to stay calm but it doesn't help.
Instead you just feel even more dizzy.

I...feel...dizzy...

Mhm...

It's...getting harder...to...breathe...

You step backwards trying to stay on your feet as you want to just get away.
Your heel bumps against the bar on the floor where the cell gate is above when closed.
You lose your balance falling backwards out of the cell.
You turn while falling and hit something big,firm yet soft.
You feel someone holding your waist tightly.
Putting their other arm around your shoulders.
Almost like the person.
Whoever they are is shielding you.
Trying to protect you.
They gently pull you up to your feet as your eyes are still closed.

This is definitely a guy...

He smells like cinnamon,coffee and patchouli...

I open my eyes to see who it is...
My eyes widen seeing who it is.
Someone completely unexpected...
His expression mirroring mine as I look into his eyes.

It's...it's...Namjoon...?

Stella: N...Namjoon?

I say feeling a mix of different emotions as he's holding me while we're both standing outside the cell with the cell behind me as my back is to it and he's looking at me.

Namjoon: Are you okay?
I heard you screaming...
I told everyone to stay behind in chief's office.
Are you okay?

He asks the same question sounding more concerned than he did the first time.
You just stare at him for a few seconds before bursting out into tears.
Burying your face in the crook of his neck.
Letting out your emotions unable to control yourself as the faces of the dead thugs flash in your mind.
It surprised him a bit but Namjoon pulls you tighter against him.

Stella: The thugs...s...they...*sob*

Namjoon lifts his head realizing what you're trying to say.

Namjoon: What the...
How did this happen?!

He asks loudly as he didn't even notice them because of how dark most of the cell is because the lights in the walkway weren't that bright to light up the part of the cell aka the back of it where the thugs were laying dead on the floor and plus he was occupied with you crying and holding onto him.
He turns his head a bit and his right cheek brushes against the side of your head as he continues holding you and you continue crying.

Namjoon: She's trembling...a lot...

His expression turns serious.

Namjoon: I should call the others...
CHIEF!!!! EVERYONE COME HERE FAST!!!!!!

His voice echos loudly as some of the prisoners stirr peeking out of their cells.
Some of them mumble amongst themselves as they point at the lifeless bodies of the thugs.
Those who can't see into the cell try and see by holding onto the bars of their cells and trying to stick their heads through the gaps in between the bars.
They all watch quietly.
Curious of what happened but scared that they'd get into trouble and suspected of being involved in the clear murder of the two thugs.
Namjoon looks at the thugs laying unmoving.

Namjoon: I don't think they committed suicide...
Those looks on their faces...
They say it wasn't them who did this...
Their eyes...
I see fear...
The last thing they felt was fear...

The others as well as officer Yeong and Chief Hwan rush over standing on both sides of you and Namjoon.
They look at you and Namjoon as you continue crying.

Hwan: What is it?! Did something happen?!

All the prisoners who were watching retreat back into the darkness of their cells and beds after seeing officer Yeong and Chief Hwan.
Jungkook's nut brown eyes widen in concern and confusion as you cry.
Your face turning red from it all.

Jungkook: Why is Miss Stella crying?!

He asks worried and scared.
Jimin slowly looks over you and Namjoon with no expression.
Seeing how you're in Namjoon's arms.
Clinging to him like your life depends on it...
Because that's how you're feeling right now.
There's a hint of silent hurt in Jimin's chocolate brown eyes that's almost not visible.

Jimin: ...
I don't like this sight...
But I shouldn't focus on that right now...
Namjoon...
What happened? Why's she in this state?

I choke back a sob and Namjoon pulls me even more closer to him.
My sobs slowly stop as I smell his cinnamon,coffee and patchouli scent...

It's...sort of comforting...

This smell...

And this...

Being held by him...

It just feels right...

Everyone: ...

Jimin: Ahem...

Namjoon lifts his head looking straight into the cell.

Jimin: Namjoon...
Are you going to tell us or not?

Namjoon: Just look into this cell...
On the floor...
You'll all see and understand the reason for her condition...

As he says it you start crying again.
All of them except Jimin look as he's still looking at how you're in Namjoon's arms of all people.
Their expressions a mixture of surprise and fear.
Chief Hwan steps closer to the cell as officer Yeong steps closer as well staying behind him.

Officer Yeong: JESUS CHRIST!!!!

Hwan: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?

Jimin finally tears his eyes away from you and Namjoon finally looking into the cell.
His eyes widen at the horrific sight.

Jimin: HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!!!!

Taehyung: Jungkook!!! Get behind me right now!!!!

Jungkook immediately listens standing behind Taehyung as Taehyung looks into the cell with a serious expression trying to block Jungkook's view.

Jungkook: Taehyung hyung...I'm scared...
Their expressions*shiver*

Taehyung: Don't worry...
Just don't look and stay behind me,okay?

Jungkook: *nod*

Jimin: HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!

He asks as his voice and anger pierce the already tense atmosphere like an arrow.
Officer Yeong pushes the cell gate and it swings open.

Jimin: HUH?!?!? HOW?! FUCKING!!! HOW?!!

Chief Hwan and officer Yeong step inside the cell as the others follow.
Officer Yeong reaches for the light switch and the lights turn on.
They're not bright to be honest but the little bit of light that is there lights up the cell and makes things especially the dead thugs more clear to see.
You hold onto Namjoon as he tries to let go of you to go inside.
He gives up taking you inside still holding you as you're still holding onto him.
Chief Hwan and officer Yeong look at the dead thugs feeling confused.

Hwan: What's going on...
How was the cell unlocked...
It was supposed to be locked.
None of this makes sense.

Officer Yeong and Chief Hwan glance at each other confirming that they're both having the same thoughts and questions running through their minds as Jimin continues yelling.

Jimin: I'm asking you two officers a fucking question!!!!
FUCKING SAY SOMETHING!
THEY'RE DEAD!
STARING AT THEM WON'T DO ANYTHING!

Chief Hwan closes his chestnut brown eyes for a second before turning around to look at Jimin as everyone's silent.

Hwan: Mr.Park,we honestly don't know...
We don't know what happened...
We're just as confused and surprised as you are.
We'll try our best to figure this out...
But could you please lower your voice?
You're going to cause the other prisoners to wake up and it'll be chaos.
Utter chaos.
It'll make this process even longer...
Please trust us...

He turns his attention from Jimin to you as your back is facing him and you're still holding Namjoon.
Not wanting to see the dead bodies of the thugs.

Hwan: Miss Kim...
Did you maybe see anything suspicious when you came in here?

You feel your heart racing.

Stella: N...no!!!
I didn't see anything!!!!

You say trying to defend yourself knowing that you might be a suspect since you have a clear motive for wanting the thugs dead.
Jimin glares at Hwan.

Jimin: ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING?!?!?!
BECAUSE IT SURE FUCKING SOUNDS LIKE IT!!!!

Hwan shakes his head letting out a sigh but understands the hostility and frustration coming from Jimin.

Hwan: No...
I was merely asking her a question...

Jimin: WHATEVER!!!!! JUST LEAVE HER ALONE!!! OKAY?!
SHE'S ALREADY SEEN/BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH SHIT ALREADY!
DON'T MAKE IT WORSE BY TRYING TO ACCUSE HER OF SOMETHING SHE'D CLEARLY NEVER DO!

Hwan: Please quiet down.
You're going to cause an uproar and I wasn't trying to accuse Miss Kim.

Jimin: DOES IT LOOK LIKE I GIVE A FLYING FUCK?!?!?!
AND WHY WOULD I BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH?!?!?!
YOU GUYS COULDN'T DO YOUR JOBS QUICK AND EFFICIENTLY AS YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO!

Jungkook starts crying and Taehyung tries to calm him down.

Jimin: THREE OF US HAD TO DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU!!!!!
YES!!!! WE!!!! NOT YOU!!! WE!!!!
YAH!!!! IT MAY HAVE BEEN INTERFERING BUT AT LEAST THE JOB WAS DONE!!!!
THE CRIMINALS FOUND AND EVERYTHING!!!!
WHILE YOU! HWAN!!!!
WHILE YOU WERE PROBABLY STUFFING YOUR FACE WITH CHOCOLATES!!!!
OH AND WE CAN'T FORGET YOUR DEAR OL BUDDY OFFICER YEONG OVER THERE!
NOW CAN WE?!
HE'S PROBABLY UP IN EVERYONE'S BUSINESS.
HE'S PROBABLY ALSO ACTING LIKE HE'S SOME KIND OF THERAPIST FOR EVERYONE.
ACTING LIKE A KNOW IT ALL WHEN HE DOESN'T KNOW SHIT.
HE SEEMS LIKE THAT TYPE!!!!!!!!
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TRUST YOU TWO!!?!
TO THINK HE'S A POLICE OFFICER AND YOU'RE THE FUCKING CHIEF OF POLICE!!!!
BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN DO YOUR JOBS PROPERLY!!!!
NOPE!!!!
THREE GUYS IN THEIR 20S HAD TO DO THEM FOR YOU GUYS INSTEAD!!!!!
AND NOW YOU GUYS WANT TO ACT LIKE YOU ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING?!
LIKE YOU'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING?!
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!

Hoseok raises his arm and places his hand on Jimin's shoulder as Hoseok's standing behind him.
Jimin freezes as his eyes are wide.

Hoseok: Jimin...
I think you should maybe calm down a bit...

Jimin scrowls with his back still towards Hoseok.

Jimin: I told you once...
And I'll tell you once again...
DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!!!!
Otherwise I'll forget you're older than me...

Hoseok slowly takes his hand off Jimin's shoulder as he nods with a painful expression on his face lowering his cloud grey eyes.

Hoseok: As you wish...
If you want me to leave you alone...
Then I'll do it...

His expression turns even more painful.

Hoseok: Eventhough...it's really hurting me...

He says in a whisper.

Jimin: *surprised*
GOOD!!!
Feel and enjoy it. You traitor...
I don't care...

Hoseok swallows.

Hoseok: I'll be outside if anyone needs me...

Jimin scoffs.

Jimin: I don't think anyone will...

He says under his breath.
Hoseok exits the cell immediately just wanting to go outside and Taehyung hurries over to the cell's open gate and extends his hand out wanting to stop him.

Taehyung: HOSEOK!!!! WAIT!!!!

Hoseok walks even faster not glancing back.
Taehyung looks at Jimin.

Taehyung: Jimin...what you did just now...
It wasn't right...
Not in the slightest.
I'm very disappointed in you...

He looks over his shoulder at Jungkook who followed him and is standing behind him.

Taehyung: Come on,Kook...
Let's go to Hoseok hyung...

Jungkook: Okay...*sniff*

Taehyung and Jungkook head out of the cell to go and find Hoseok.
You stopped crying a few minutes ago.
Completely silent as you don't know what to do or say.
But eventhough you stopped crying you're still in Namjoon's arms eventhough he's realized that you stopped crying a bit ago.
Jimin glances at you two before turning his attention and anger to officer Yeong and Chief Hwan once again.

Jimin: ANYWAYS!!!!
AREN'T YOU GUYS SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO?!?!?
AREN'T YOU GUYS SUPPOSE TO CATCH THE CRIMINALS AND NOT THE CLIENTS?!?!?
WE WERE DOING THE MOST WHILE YOU WERE DOING THE LEAST!!!!
NO!!!!
YOU KNOW WHAT?!
I'M BEING GENEROUS!!!
ACTUALLY YOU GUYS WERE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!

Hwan's collected expression crumbles.

Hwan: SHUT UP!!!!
SHUT UP!!!!!

All of us stare at his outburst in complete shock.
The atmosphere becoming more and more tense.

Hwan: I'VE BEEN THE CHIEF OF POLICE FOR OVER 24 YEARS!!!!!

Officer Yeong: Sir,you need to calm down...
All this stress and yelling isn't good for you...

He says concerned but Hwan shakes his head.

Hwan: I'M NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN!!!! I'VE BEEN PATIENT!!!!
I'M BUSY TEACHING THIS LITTLE SHIT A LESSON!!!!!

His glare grows more intense the longer he looks at Jimin.

Hwan: I WAS WORKING ALREADY WHEN YOU WEREN'T EVEN BORN YET!!!!!

Jimin: *scoff*
I highly fucking doubt that!!!!

Hwan: WHAT?!?
YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?!?!
WE'RE ALREADY YELLING SO WHY THE HELL NOT CONTINUE VOICING YOUR THOUGHTS!? HUH?!

Jin: Don't say anything,Jimin...

He whispers.

Jimin: No,Jin!!!!
He asked and I'm going to tell him!!!
I would've even if he didn't ask!!!

He balls his fists.

Jimin: AS A FUCKING MATTER OF FACT!!!! YAH!!! I DO HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!!!!

He lifts up his right hand showing his middle finger as he smiles.

Jimin: Take this.
Stick it where the sun doesn't shine...
And fuck off!!!!:)

Jin: JIMIN!!!!

Jimin: He asked for it.

He says as Hwan looks at him in complete disbelief.

Hwan: Never in my life have I seen such DISRESPECT!!!

He points his finger at Jimin as his arm's shaking from anger.

Hwan: Get out of my police station right now!!!!!

Officer Yeong: Sir,please...

Hwan doesn't listen.

Hwan: Didn't you hear what I said?!?!?!
GET.
OUT.
OF MY STATION!!!!

Officer Yeong: Boss...

Jimin smiles.

Jimin: Gladly:)

We all look at him as he turns to walk out of the cell.
But first...
Jimin stops right next to me and Namjoon.
As Namjoon and I look at him and Namjoon's arms are still around me.
He doesn't say anything seemingly looking at Namjoon's arms around me.
He looks at the open gate and walks out as I look at my feet.

Yoongi: Uhm...

He rubs the back of his neck as we look at him.
A tired and worried expression on his face.

Yoongi: Uhm...
I'll go check on Jimin...
And see if Hoseok's okay...

Hwan gives a nod as he seems to have calmed down a bit.

Hwan: And while you're at it...
Please teach that Jimin how to act and talk like a proper adult.

Namjoon: I don't think that's possible...
He couldn't handle what happened in the past like an adult...
He's still holding a grudge after all this time when he knows the truth...
Yet he denies that he does...
So I don't think it's possible...

Yoongi just silently nods his head heading out of the cell to find Jimin and Hoseok.
Hopefully yet most likely not together and talking things out.
Only me,Namjoon,Jin,officer Yeong,Chief Hwan...
And of course the bodies of the thugs are left in here...

Officer Yeong: Boss...
I think you went a little overboard...

Hwan: I didn't...
You know...
I don't think that I or anyone deserves respect simply based on age...
But don't I deserve at least a little respect for trying to do my job?
Trying to be patient?
Don't I have the right to get angry when someone insults me?
Don't I have the right to get angry when someone comes along and tells me that I'm not even trying to do my job properly?
I studied for so many years!
Getting this position wasn't easy...
Yeong...
You know how my life was...
I made so many sacrifices...
I don't even have a family of my own...
Because my studies and job came first...
I've always wanted a son...wife...a son and daughter even...
A happy family...
Where I could provide them whatever they'd need...
Where they wouldn't have such a life that I had to experience for so many years since my birth...
...
But...it's too late for that...

You shake your head.

Stella: It's never too late.

Hwan looks at you surprised.

Namjoon: She's right.
You could still make that dream a reality...

Jin: Yah! Exactly!
Plus you carry your age very well!
So the ladies will line right up!:)
I'm a model so I know what I'm talking about*dimple*

Hwan smiles letting out a laugh.

Hwan: Thank you for the encouragement.
And thank you for the compliment,Jin.
Although I think it was a bit exaggerated.
I still appreciate the sentiment.

Stella: Well...
He does have a habit of being dramatic and exaggerating.

Namjoon: He really does.

Jin looks at you both acting offended.

Jin: Hey!!!!
I am not dramatic and I do not exaggerate stuff!!!!

Stella: Yes...you're clearly not*chuckle*
Especially with the toothpaste incident and the teabag incident*laugh*

Jin: Well they were justified!!!!
Do you guys think that these pearly whites stay this white just because of genetics or something?!
And there's nothing wrong with me wanting to make myself more handsome!
And I know you guys love me!!!!
Especially you!!!! Namjoon!!!!!!
So stop acting so cold!!!!

He acts like he's crying.

Jin: It really hurts my feelings you know?!?!?!
You're supposed to be my best friend*being dramatic as fuck*
But instead you insult me instead of defending me!!!;_;

Namjoon: I am not falling for this again...

Also I just thought I'd add in that Namjoon is 25% Japanese and obviously the 75% he's Korean.

Jin: Can't you see that I'm not acting?!?!?!;_;
You really broke my heart!!!!

Namjoon: . . . . . . . . . . . .

Stella: Yes,Jin:)
We all love you*laugh*

Jin puts his hands on his hips as he stops fake crying and smiles.

Jin: No surprise there!
I am pretty amazing and handsome!!!!

He does a pose.

Jin: Just look at my handsome face...

He continues smiling.

Jin: Like who wouldn't love moi?

All of us laugh while I see Namjoon in my peripheral vision rolling his eyes with a fond smile.

Hwan: Maybe one day I'll have a family...
I'll see how life goes.

Officer Yeong: This is touching and all...
But I want to say something too...

We all look at him as he has a serious expression looking at Hwan.

Officer Yeong: If I ever see you working yourself up like this again!!!!
Then I'll have no choice but to confiscate all your chocolate!!!!!

Hwan looks at him shocked.

Hwan: No...you wouldn't!!!!

Officer Yeong: You're already eating more than you should!!!!!!
That much sugar isn't good!!!!
And yes I would!!!!
You may be my boss!
But before that you were my best friend!
And I also know all the places you hide all your chocolates!!!!
So don't test me,okay?!?!
I'll really confiscate them if you work yourself up again!
Do you understand?!?!

I know I shouldn't be thinking that this is funny but it is!!!!!

Chief Hwan is obviously older than officer Yeong and yet he's getting scolded like a child!

Hwan blinks at officer Yeong.

Hwan: ..................

Officer Yeong: YANG HWAN!!!!!!!!
I asked you a question!!!!!
Answer it or I'll take all your chocolates right now!!!!

Hwan immediately shakes his head.

Hwan: NO!!!!

Stella: O.o

Hwan: Uhm...
*clears throat putting hands behind back*
I mean that I understand...

Is it just me or does their friendship sort of remind me of Hoseok and Jimin?

I wonder what's going on outside...

-Outside the police station-

Taehyung looks around wondering where Hoseok could be as Jungkook's standing behind him.

Taehyung: Where is he?!

Jungkook: Taehyung hyung!

Taehyung looks at him to see him pointing.

Jungkook: That looks like Hoseok hyung!!!

Taehyung looks.

Jungkook: Is it him,Taehyung hyung?

Taehyung: It is him.

He smiles and turns to Jungkook as he pats Jungkook's head.

Jungkook: O.o

Taehyung: Good job,Kook!:)
*continues patting Jungkook's head*
We'll get ice cream later as your reward.

Jungkook smiles excitedly.

Jungkook: Really?!^^

Taehyung: Yah,but first we need to check on Hoseok hyung...
So let's go and do that you big,fluffy ball of cuteness.

Jungkook: Yay!!!! Ice cream!!! Let's go,Taehyung hyung!!!^^

Hoseok looks over his shoulder as he's leaning against a tree hearing footsteps.
He sees that it's Taehyung and Jungkook approaching him.
He lets out a soft sigh as he looks at the ground infront of him.

Hoseok: Hey,guys,what are you two doing out here?
Shouldn't you be inside?

He says with a sad expression.
Taehyung and Jungkook look at each other before looking at Hoseok again.
Taehyung clears his throat and crosses his arms.

Taehyung: We're here to check up on you...
You ran out of the police station pretty fast...
Hoseok...
We know you're sad.
That you're feeling regret.
That you want to make up with Jimin...
But Jimin's stubborn as he's always been...
We all want things to be normal again...but...
That won't happen if you keep punishing yourself like this...

Jungkook looks at the ground as Taehyung continues to speak.
Trying to get through to Hoseok as he's still leaning against the tree while looking at the ground.

Taehyung: Mhm?
Have you seen yourself in the mirror?
You look as white as a ghost...
And your wrists...
They're so tiny...
Hoseok...please don't do this to yourself...
You're going to make yourself sick...
What you're doing isn't fair to yourself and also not to all of us...
Stop punishing yourself!
Can't you see that you're not only hurting yourself by doing this?
You're also hurting us.
You're really worrying us...
Please stop...
We don't want to push you...
But we can't just stand by and watch you do this.

Hoseok smiles.

Hoseok: What? I'm not doing anything...
I'm not sad...

He says turning his head looking at Taehyung and Jungkook through his peripheral vision.

Hoseok: I'm very happy...

His voice wavers ever so slightly before he looks straight ahead.
Not wanting to worsen the situation.

Hoseok: I've just been very busy at work...
I haven't had much time to eat and sleep due to it...
But that's how life is.
Sleepless nights aren't anything new.
But I'm fine.
I'll be my old self soon.
You guys don't have to worry about me at all,okay?
I'm really okay...
You two should head inside.
I'll be there soon...

Taehyung puts his hand on Hoseok's right shoulder and turns him around.
Hoseok looks at Taehyung and Jungkook with wide eyes.

Taehyung: If you can look at us while repeating what you said...
Then we'll leave you alone...

Hoseok sighs as he scratches the back of his neck while trying to will himself to say the words while looking at Taehyung and Jungkook.
But he just can't bring himself to do it as he looks at the ground.

Hoseok: I...I...

Tears roll down his cheeks as his whole body shakes eventhough he tries to keep himself together.

Hoseok: *sob*I...*choke*

He continues to sob as Taehyung wraps his arm around Hoseok and Jungkook.
Taehyung puts his right hand on Hoseok's head.
Jungkook wraps his arms around Taehyung and Hoseok as Hoseok rests his head on Taehyung's shoulder.

Taehyung: Everything will be okay...
Don't worry...
We're here for you...

Hoseok: I'm s...sorry...

Taehyung: You don't have to apologize...
We're your friends...
You don't have to hide things from us...
You can tell us anything...

Jimin walks around the corner of the police station with his eyes on the ground as Yoongi runs after him.

Yoongi: Jimin...please wait...

Jimin stops as Yoongi stops a few steps behind him.
Yoongi doesn't say anything as Jimin stands completely still with his back facing Yoongi.

Yoongi: Uhm...

Jimin turns his head looking at Yoongi through his peripheral vision.

Jimin: What? I just want to be left alone...
If you're here to try and defend your brother...
Then you're just wasting your breath.
I'll see you guys at home...

Yoongi's eyes widen.

Yoongi: But...
What about Stella?
You're just going to leave?

Jimin looks at the ground.

Jimin: I'm the last person on her mind right now...
You should go back inside...
Bye,Yoongi...

Taehyung: You don't have to lie and pretend to be okay...

Jimin and Yoongi look and see Hoseok,Taehyung and Jungkook.

Taehyung: It's okay to not be okay...
Namjoon's not okay...
Jimin's not okay...
Everyone's going through something...
But no one has to be alone...
We're all friends so don't feel guilty or embarrassed for crying infront of us.
For being vulnerable with us.
You,Namjoon and Jimin always act so strong...
Namjoon has these walls built around him and I don't think they'll come down any time soon...
If ever...
But...please talk to us if something is bothering you...
Okay...?

Jungkook: We love you,Hoseok hyung...
Please don't be sad:(
Hoseok hyung,please talk to us...
Don't bottle things up:(
You don't have to tell us everything...
But please know we'll always be here for you...

Hoseok: I...*sniff*...I miss him...
I miss...Jimin...n...

Jimin and Yoongi watch with wide eyes.

Hoseok: I regret what I did...I...*sob*
Jimin*sob*

Jimin looks at the ground with a regretful expression as Yoongi sees.

Jimin: Is this really how he feels?
He misses me?
Hobi...
The stubborn Hobi...misses me?
Maybe I've gone too far...
I was just trying to get back at him...
What he did really hurt me...
I...I didn't want things to turn out like this...
I'm so sorry,Hobi...

Jimin looks up.
His expression serious.

Jimin: I need to make it right...

Hoseok: I miss him...Jimin...I miss you...

Taehyung: Shhh...

Hoseok lifts his head and his eyes widen as he sees Jimin and Yoongi.
Jungkook and Taehyung let go of Hoseok.
Taehyung and Jungkook look over their shoulders and see Jimin and Yoongi too.
Jimin is standing behind them as Yoongi's standing behind him.
Jimin crosses his arms.

Yoongi: What's going to happen now?

Jungkook: Please don't let Hoseok hyung and Jimin hyung fight again:(

Taehyung: I really hope that Jimin doesn't say or do something stupid again.
This has seriously gone on long enough.
He's really stubborn but I really hope he's come to his senses so this fight can just get resolved already and that everything can be like it was.

Hoseok walks through Taehyung and Jungkook and slowly comes to a stop infront of Jimin as he's looking at Jimin surprised.

Hoseok: Jimin...what...what are you doing here?

Jimin: What?
Am I not allowed to go wherever I want?

Yoongi: This isn't good...

Taehyung: I was hoping that this wouldn't happen...

Jungkook: Hoseok hyung and Jimin hyung are going to fight again:(

You,Namjoon,Jin,officer Yeong and Chief Hwan exit the police station after Chief Hwan said that he and his team will handle what happened,that you can rest easy and that he'll stay in touch.
Both your and Jin's eyes widen and you look seeing what's going on as you're both afraid that Jimin will do and/or say something to Hoseok.
The others also see what's happening.
Namjoon stands unfazed watching silently.
Officer Yeong and Chief Hwan also just watch in silence.

Jimin: Mhm?

Hoseok: No...no...I didn't mean it like that...I...

In a flash Jimin wraps his arms around him giving him a hug and leaving him stunned.
Jimin rests his chin on Hoseok's shoulder.

Hoseok: .......................

Jimin: I'm sorry...Hobi...
I'm sorry,okay?
I was a jerk...
A huge jerk...
I shouldn't have talked and acted the way I did that night and tonight...
I'm sorry...I don't hate you...I never hated you...
I don't think it's possible to hate you...
I was just hurt...surprised...
I didn't expect that you'd do what you did...
I wanted to get back at you...
That's why I did and said those things...
I didn't want it to go this far that you're punishing yourself like this...
I regret what I said and did...
I'm really sorry,Hobi...
I forgive you...
I forgave you already...
I was just too stubborn and proud to say it...
And thanks for being so patient with me...
For giving me time...

Hoseok pulls away from the hug and looks at him.

Hoseok: Hey...what are you saying?!
I'm the one who should be saying sorry for what I did...
You had every right to react like you did...
I hurt you...
I thought that I instantly ended our friendship...
What you said hurt me...a lot...
But I understand...
It didn't make the hurt I felt any less...
But I understood...
We were both wrong...
Namjoon told me to be more patient...
I was actually ready to go after you immediately...
He actually sort of scolded me for what I did to you...

Jimin's eyes widen.

Jimin: He scolded you? For what you did to me?

Hoseok: He didn't scold me entirely...
But he was defending you...
Clearly I was in the wrong.

Jimin's expression turns neutral.

Jimin: I didn't expect that...
Still this doesn't change how I feel towards him.

Hoseok: And if you're okay with it...
Can we go back to how things were?

Jimin smiles.

Jimin: You mean me getting scolded by you for almost everything?
You pulling my ear?
So on and so on?
Sure! I want my Hobi back!*dimple and his classic eye smile*

He just turned into a fluffy baby
chick T^T

He extends his right hand.

Jimin: Friends?

Hoseok smiles looking at Jimin's extended hand.
Hoseok looks at Jimin and smiles.
Hoseok extends his right hand and grabs Jimin's.

Hoseok: Friends*dimples while smiling*

Jin: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
T_T

Hoseok,Jimin,Taehyung,Yoongi and Jungkook look seeing you and the others.

Jin: Is this real?!?!?! Am I dreaming?!?!

He starts fake crying.

Jin: This is too beautiful!!!!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HUG ME AND TELL ME ALL THIS IS REAL!!!!!!!!

All of you look at him.

Jin: *FAKE SOBBING SO HARD*

Namjoon: I'm seriously not falling for it!!!!!

Jin: You're so mean to me!!!!
My heart is swelling with emotion and you don't want to even hug me to comfort me?!
I wear my heart on my sleeve!!!!!
And you just keep taking it and stepping on it!!!!!*more fake crying*
You're so mean*FAKE SOB*

Jungkook: Don't worry,Jin hyung!!!! I'll give you a hug!!!!^^

He runs over and gives Jin a hug.

Jin: Thank you,Kook!!!!!!
At least you care for me unlike Namjoon!!!!!*more fake crying*

Jungkook: ^^

Namjoon: *shaking his head and rolling his eyes at Jin's theatrics*

Jimin: Anyways...

You all look at him as he smiles and puts his hands on his hips.

Jimin: I heard how you said you missed me :D

Hoseok crosses his arms.

Hoseok: No,you misheard me.

Jimin's eyes widen.

Jimin: Did I?

Hoseok: Yes,I never said I miss you.

Jimin scratches his chin.

Jimin: Maybe you're right...

He takes out his phone and taps on the screen.

Recording of Hoseok playing from Jimin's phone: I miss him...Jimin...I miss you...

The recording ends as Hoseok looks at Jimin stunned.

Hoseok: What!?

Jimin smiles as he puts his hands on his cheeks still holding the phone.

Jimin: You missed little ol me!!!!:D
You can't deny it!!!!!
You love me!!!!!
You can't lie now!!!!

Hoseok narrows his grey eyes at him.

Hoseok: I don't!!!!
Give me that phone!!!!!!!

Jimin jumps back with his one hand raised infront of him and his other that's holding his phone is behind his back.

Hoseok: PARK JIMIN!!!!!!!!

Jimin: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

He turns around and runs.

Jimin: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!!!!!!:D

This is too cute!!!! I'm so happy they're friends again T□T

Hoseok runs after him.
You smile watching feeling your heart swelling up with happiness.
Namjoon sees it in the corner of his eye.
He turns his head just a bit and looks at you for a second but you don't notice as you're busy smiling watching how Hoseok's chasing Jimin while trying to grab Jimin's phone from him.
Hoseok catches him immediately as they fall to the ground and Hoseok tries to grab Jimin's phone while all of you watch.

Jimin: HELP!!!!!!*flailing his arms like a baby chick that's panicking*

Hoseok: NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU:)

Hwan: I have no idea what I'm witnessing...

Officer Yeong: Should we help him?

Namjoon shakes his head crossing his arms.

Namjoon: He's fine...this isn't unusual...

Jimin: AHXBAHSHDJBSUSAUDHSHA!!!!!

Hoseok grabs his phone getting off of Jimin's back.
Hoseok taps the phone screen in search of the recording as Jimin gets up and dusts himself off.

Jimin: What are you doing?!

Hoseok smiles as he looks at him tapping on screen once again.

Hoseok: And delete!!!!!:)

He extends Jimin's phone back to him.

Hoseok: Here's your phone back:)

Jimin takes it and pockets it while rolling his eyes.

Jimin: Oh thanks! How nice of you to give it back after jumping and tackling me to the ground!
You're so mean!!!!;_;

Hoseok: And you recorded me without my permission so I guess we're even:)

Hwan: It seems you're in a better mood now...

Jimin looks over his shoulder and sees Hwan standing behind him.
Jimin turns around.

Jimin: Yes,I am...

He bows his head.

Jimin: Sorry for how I acted and everything...

He looks from Hwan to officer Yeong and then back at Hwan.
Hwan doesn't say anything for a second.

Hwan: I honestly wasn't thinking that I'd get an apology,but I appreciate it.
You were frustrated and you apologized while you could've chosen not to...
You honestly make me think of if I had a son.
I was also like you when I was younger.
So although you angered me...
I was also amused.
And so it's all water under the bridge...
You and Namjoon both remind me of myself.
One's more serious while the other's more outgoing.

Jimin: No offense to you,Hwan...
But it's hard to imagine that you were like me...
Namjoon sure...I can see it.
But me? No...that's impossible.

Hwan: I can show you all proof.
Everyone gather around.

All of us gather around Chief Hwan as he takes out his phone.

He shows a picture of him wearing some motorcycle gear while posing with his gun infront of the police station as he smiles in the picture.

Hwan: This was me at age 25...
This was the day I became Chief of Police.
I was very happy that day.

Jimin: You do look cool holding that gun though and wearing that one earring!

Jungkook: Super cool!!!!^^

Jin: This was you at 25?! How old are you?!

Namjoon: Jin.

Jin: What?

Hwan shakes his head laughing a bit.

Hwan: I'm 49 soon to be 50 this year.

Jin: Wow! The big fifty! You honestly haven't changed much!
You still look pretty much the same.
I'm sure you were a ladies man!

Officer Yeong: You have no idea!
All the girls were after him!
They'd flock over asking to see him when they wanted to report something. Even miniscule things.
And guess what.
He would see them!
He was such a flirt!
Even tried to set me up many times and I always said no.
He was the biggest flirt ever!

Stella: That reminds me of a certain someone*laugh*

Jimin chuckles and smiles.

Jimin: Yah,maybe...:)

Hoseok: I don't think so...
Chief Hwan is responsible while Jimin isn't.

Jimin pouts.

Jimin: Hey!!!!
I'm right here!
I can be responsible!
I am responsible!

Hoseok: Keep repeating those words and maybe they'll come into existence.
And yah.
You're soooo responsible that you spend most of your money on what?
On buying red wine.

Jimin: Because it's delicious and everything!

Jungkook: I don't like it or any alcohol...
It smells and tastes bad:(

Hoseok: That's good,Kook.
Stay like that.

Jimin: You're saying that while you also drink!!!!!

Hoseok: Occasionally...
I drink occasionally...
While I see you with a glass of wine every single day.

Jimin: I like it! So what?!

Hoseok: Nothing...

Taehyung: Although I'm happy you two are okay again...
And I did miss this bickering of yours...
I would like to tell you both to zip it.

Jungkook: What are they supposed to zip,Taehyung hyung? Oh! Their pants!
But I see their pants are zipped up...O.o

Taehyung: I didn't mean it literally.
Also be careful of where and how you look.
Some people might misunderstand you.

Hwan: Honestly I understand Jimin.
I love a good glass of red wine.
I love Carbenet Sauvignon especially.

Jimin smiles widely.

Jimin: Me too!
It's my favorite!

Hwan: That's amazing.
You have good taste.

Jimin smiles proudly.
Hwan taps out of his gallery and accidentally taps on another picture.
Hwan's face falls a bit as the picture shows him and a woman busy smiling in front of the station as she's standing next to him.

Jimin: Wow!!!!!

Jungkook: Pretty!!!!^^

Jin: Yes,she is!
Who is she?

Hwan: ...

Hwan continues staring at the picture silently.

Jungkook: Mr Yang?:(
Are you okay,Mr Yang?:(

Hwan's eyes become a bit shiny at the last question.
You and the guys silently look at Hwan.

Jungkook: Mr Yang?:(

Hwan shakes his head trying to clear his mind as he looks at Jungkook.

Hwan: Sorry...I wasn't listening...

Officer Yeong tears his eyes away from the picture and looks at Jungkook too.

Hwan: Did you say something?

Jungkook: I asked if you're okay,Mr Yang...
You look so sad...

Hwan: Me? Sad?
Yeong,do I look sad?

Officer Yeong looks at him.

Officer Yeong: Well...

Hwan glances at him.

Hwan: I completely fine...

Jin: Then who was that woman?

Namjoon: Jin,leave it...
It's none of our business...

Jin: No...you helped us a lot,Hwan...
I think we can all see that something's wrong...
And it has to do with her.
That woman.

He points towards Hwan's phone.

Jin: We're only trying to help...

Officer Yeong: Come on,Chief...

Hwan: Okay...I'll talk...
Jin,Stella,Namjoon...
You three remember what I said in there?
How my life wasn't easy...
How I had to make sacrifices to get where I am today?

Jin,Namjoon and I nod.
Hwan looks at the ground as if thinking back.

Hwan: That woman...
She would come here every day.
She sold pies.
Every lunch time I'd buy from her.
Her stand was right here...
Right here...where we're standing now...
I had a hard life growing up and studied hard to get where I am...
Made sacrifices...
Those pictures are from the same day...
The day I became Chief of Police.
We both had feelings for each other.
But I wanted to focus on my work and helping my parents and siblings and so when she confessed to me...
I rejected her...

All of us look at him in surprise.

Hwan: I liked her a lot...
But my family...
I had to think of them...
My work,my family and supporting them came first...
I told her that...
I said it wouldn't be fair to her...
I would be busy with work and not be able to spend time with her properly...
I said it wouldn't be right...
That she shouldn't have to have such a relationship...
She took the rejection quite well...
Or so I thought...
She handed me a pie with a smile as usual...
But after that day...
I never saw her again...
Nothing...
I waited but nothing...
I thought and still think what I did was a mistake...
But I had to do it...
It wasn't easy to do it...
But it was the best for the both of us at the time...

Namjoon: We understand...
It wasn't easy...
But...sometimes we have to make decisions we don't want to...
For the benefit of others...
Maybe she saw your decision as selfish...
Maybe she thought you were playing her.
But both of those aren't the truth...
And so I don't think you should blame yourself.

Hoseok: Namjoon's giving good advice...
But he can't take his own advice...

Namjoon: You were being honest...
You could've played her but you didn't...
Yes,you regret what you did...
But it's been done...
Unfortunately...we can't change what already happened...
No matter how much we wish we could...
So it's no use feeling guilty and blaming yourself...
All we can do is move forward the best we can...
You did what you thought was best.

Jungkook nods.

Jungkook: Namjoon hyung is right,Mr Yang...
Don't be sad,okay?
I'm sure she already forgave you.

Hwan: I'm not sure about that...
I know it's been years but I know you're right,Namjoon.
But it's getting late now...
You should all go home...
We'll sort out what happened here...

You all nod and say goodbye.
As you all drive away everyone's silent.
Taehyung's staring out the window.
Jungkook's looking at the roof of the car.
Yoongi's looking at nothing specific.
Jin's looking at his phone.
You're looking at your hands on your lap.
Jimin's leaning against the door as he's looking up at the sky.
Hoseok's watching the road as he's sitting in the front passenger seat.
Namjoon's focused on driving.
After a few seconds Hoseok looks over his shoulder at you all before sighing as he looks in front of him once again.
He looks at Namjoon.
Namjoon realizes it and looks in the rear view mirror before looking at the road again.

Namjoon: Ahem.

All of you slowly look at him.
Namjoon stays silent for a few seconds.

Namjoon: Tonight was a tough night to say the least...

He glances at you through the rear view mirror before continuing.

Stella: *completely silent*

Namjoon: Anyone want ice cream? My treat...

All of you stay silent as you're all shocked.

Namjoon: ...
I'll take the silence as an unspoken yes...

A small smile spreads across Taehyung's face.

Taehyung: That would be great.
Afterall I did promise Kook I'd get him ice cream.

Jungkook starts dancing as a smile spreads across his face.

Jungkook: 🎶Ice cream!!!!!!🎵
🎶Ice cream!!!!!!🎵
🎶Ice cream!!!!!!🎵
🎶We're going to get ice cream!!!🎵
Did you hear,Miss Stella?!
We're going to get ice cream!!!!^^

Stella: Yes,yes...I heard*laugh*

Jungkook: Ice cream!!!!!^^

Namjoon: It's settled then...
I'll get the ice cream...

He really is a mystery...

After a few minutes Namjoon parks the car.
Namjoon looks in the rear view mirror.

Namjoon: Okay...what does everyone want?

Jimin: Vanilla.

Yoongi: Chocolate peanut butter caramel ice cream.

Hoseok: I was going to say mint chocolate chip but I could go for some lemon grass ice cream instead.

Jin: Toffee ice cream with caramel sauce.

Taehyung: Just chocolate.

Jungkook: It's really hard to choose with all the different options but I'll take Oreo ice cream*bunny smile*

Namjoon nods.

Namjoon: And you?

I look in the rear view mirror to see that he's looking straight at me through the mirror.

Stella: Me?

Namjoon: Mhm...

Stella: Cookies and cream please...

Namjoon: Mhm...
Okay...
Come,Kook...
You're going to help me.

Jungkook: Oki doki,Namjoon hyung! Let's go!^^

Namjoon and Jungkook exit the car as the rest of us sit silently.
Obviously thinking about the same things.
After a few minutes Namjoon and Jungkook get into the car after putting the ice cream in the trunk.
Namjoon starts the car once again.

Namjoon: Okay. Let's go home...

As Namjoon drives us all home we all chat a bit.
Jungkook smiling ear to ear.
Definitely because of the ice cream:)
And before we all know it we're home.
Namjoon parks the car on the opposite side of the road of our apartment building.
All of us get out closing the doors behind us.
Namjoon walks to the front of the car.

Hoseok: Hey,Namjoon,need some help?

Namjoon shakes his head.

Namjoon: Don't worry about it.
I'll get the box from the trunk.
You all head inside in the mean time.

Hoseok: Okay...if you're sure...

Everyone heads towards the building leaving Namjoon alone.
You glance at Namjoon before following the others.
Not knowing that Namjoon's silently watching you as you jog a little to catch up with the others with your long braid swaying and bouncing behind your back.

Jimin: What the hell was that?

He asks clearly annoyed.
Namjoon looks at Jimin unfazed.

Namjoon: Oh...you're still here...

He walks around the car past the passenger side and Jimin to open the trunk of the car and get the box with all the tubs of ice cream.

Namjoon: ...

Jimin: Namjoon! I'm asking you something!

Namjoon: And I don't feel like answering*mumbling under his breath*

Jimin: What was that?!

Namjoon picks up the box and closes the trunk.

Namjoon: I don't know what you're talking about...

Jimin: BULLSHIT!!!!!
Are you listening?!

He asks walking over to him.

Namjoon: I don't have time for this.

He walks past him with the box leaving Jimin stunned.
Jimin's hands ball into fists.
And before Namjoon can take another step...
Jimin walks over stopping infront of Namjoon as he glares at him.

Jimin: I'm not stupid!
I'm going to tell you only one time!
Stay the fuck away from her!!!

Namjoon scoffs.

Namjoon: Fine by me...
But you should be telling her to stay away from me instead...
She keeps coming after me...
Bothering me...
You were glaring at me at the station like I did something when she was the one who was holding onto me after I wanted to let go.
You're acting like I wanted her to do that.
You're acting like I've been constantly going after her or something when that's clearly not the case.
She's your so called best friend so you should talk with her and control her.
Don't blame me...

He walks past Jimin and locks the car.
Namjoon takes a few steps into the road as Jimin's standing behind him.

Namjoon: I'll go inside.
Come in once you're done acting out like you always do...

He walks away with the box as Jimin continues glaring at him from behind.

Jimin: Fuck you,Namjoon...

-Time skip-
-In the livingroom-

All of you sit in silence eating your ice cream.

Namjoon's coffee ice cream.

Your cookies and cream ice cream.

Taehyung's chocolate ice cream.

Jin's toffee ice cream with caramel sauce.

Hoseok's lemongrass ice cream.

Yoongi's chocolate peanut butter caramel ice cream.

Jungkook's oreo ice cream.

Jimin's vanilla ice cream.
Jimin looks up from his bowl.
His expression turns serious.

Jimin: Hoseok...

Hoseok looks at him.

Jimin: Aren't you going to eat?
Your ice cream is melting...

Hoseok silently looks at his bowl of half melted ice cream.

Hoseok: I'm not very hungry...

Jimin sets his empty bowl down.
Hoseok looks up as Jimin gets up and walks over to him.

Jimin: Not hungry?

Hoseok: Jimin,what---
Hey!!! Give my bowl back!

Jimin smiles at him as he snatched Hoseok's bowl of lemon grass ice cream.

Jimin: Just a moment ago you said you weren't hungry...

Hoseok: Jimin!

Jimin: No,Hoseok. You're going to listen to me.

He picks up the spoon.

Jimin: You're going to sit quietly while I feed you this ice cream.
Well...ice cream soup basically.
And I'll feed it to you until you eat every last bit of it.
You need to eat.
You almost look like a skeleton and you're almost as pale as Yoongi!

Hoseok doesn't say anything as he looks at the rug.

Jimin: Come on:)

He picks up some of the melted ice cream with the spoon as he bends down holding it out.

Jimin: Here comes the choo choo train*eye smile*

Hoseok: Fine...

He says as he looks at Jimin.

Hoseok: If it'll get you to stop...
Then fine...

Jimin: Here it comes! Here it comes!:)

Hoseok: Oh for goodness sake! Just do it already!

Jimin feeds Hoseok the ice cream while I stiffle a laugh.

This is so heartwarming to see.

I'm happy they're okay.

Jimin: You're doing good! So good!

He puts his hand on Hoseok's head patting and ruffling his red hair as Hoseok's grey eyes widen.

Jimin: Who's a good boy?
Huh?
Who's a good boy?:)

Hoseok takes his hand off his head.

Jimin: Awww!!!! Are you embarrassed?! So cute!!!

Hoseok: Shut up!!!!! I'm not a fucking dog!!!!

Jimin: Language:3

Hoseok: *deep frown*

We all laugh eating our ice cream and say goodnight.
I take a shower doing my usual routine and head to my room to get ready for bed.

-In your room-

You leave your door slightly ajar and walk to your bed.
You quickly get dressed as you're about to get in bed.
But then your foot bumps against something under the bed.
You bend down to see what it is...
As you pick it up and the moonlight shines on it.
You look at it in shock.

Oh...my...gosh...

It's the book mom gave me along with this locket...

But how did it get here?

Didn't it burn along with the rest of my things that night?

I thought it was gone forever...

I stare at the book.
Tracing over the lines.

Then how...

-Flashback-

Li'l Stella: Mom,what is it? Did something happen?

Mom sat down on the floor to look me in the eye with a smile as I stood looking at her.

Mom: No,my little butterfly...
Nothing happened so don't worry,okay?
I just have some things to show and give you.

Li'l Stella: But...didn't I already get gifts?
What are these things you'll show and give me,mom?

Mom: Items that are very special...
Very special...

Li'l Stella: I don't understand...

Mom: I know...

I looked at her hands.

Li'l Stella: Huh?

Mom placed the items in front of me on the floor.
I looked at her confused.

Li'l Stella: Your necklace and a book?

I looked at the book.

Li'l Stella: It looks a bit old...
The book...
I don't understand,mom...
You love this necklace...
Are you giving it to me?
And this book...
I've never seen it before...

Mom: Yes,I'm giving these to you...
I know they'll be safe with you...

I looked at mom.

Li'l Stella: But mom...
How are you so sure?
I'd make sure to not lose the necklace...
But the book...
What if...

Mom just continued smiling at me.

Mom: If you lose this book...
You wouldn't have truly lost it...
It'll come back to you.
Guard it and the necklace with your life.
Don't tell anyone about the book or your necklace.

Li'l Stella: Mom...what's going on...
I don't understand...
Why does the book have a hole in it?
Almost looks like the locket...
Like a part of it is missing...

Mom: I know...
I have such a smart,observant daughter...
But...*sigh*
One day...you'll understand...
One day you'll get all those answers...
So no need to be afraid,my little butterfly.
Come here:)

I walked over and mom wrapped her arms around me in a hug.

Li'l Stella: Mom?

Mom: Mhm?

Li'l Stella: You'll always stay here with me and dad,right?
You'll never leave,right?

Mom smiled more.

Mom: I'd never leave...
Not in a million years.
Why would I?
I have a loving husband and the most adorable daughter in the whole world...
I'd be crazy to even consider leaving...
There's still lots to happen.
I don't plan on leaving any time soon.
I want to see you graduate,experience life,see you get married...
Have children and a lot more.
I want to see you happy.

Li'l Stella: I promise to look after the book and necklace...
To not tell anyone...

I smiled and hugged mom back.

Li'l Stella: I love you,mom!!!

Mom smiled and hugged me more.

Mom: I love you too,my little butterfly...
Happy 11th birthday...

She said as she pressed a kiss on my forehead.

-End of flashback-

I open my eyes as I feel tears rolling down my cheeks.

Stella: *silent sob*

I clutch my locket tightly looking at the book.

.....One day I'll understand.....

.....One day I'll get all the answers.....

.....One day.....

I hope that day comes soon...because...

I'm still clinging to the fact that you might still be out there...somewhere...

...Mom...

It's best to not hope...but...

The guys have given me hope...

And...even if you aren't...

"Unfortunately...we can't change what already happened...No matter how much we wish we could...So it's no use feeling guilty and blaming yourself...All we can do is move forward the best we can..."-Namjoon

Namjoon's right...

It's just difficult...easier said than done...

But who said it would be easy anyways...

*sigh*

I miss you,mom...

How you used to sing and dance...

Eventhough you were the serious one in your and dad's relationship...

You used to sing to me every night...

And one night...it stopped...

You had a favorite song that you used to sing for me every night before bed...

It didn't matter what you sang...

I always loved it...

Knowing that you were near me...

You rub your temples as you feel the weight of the day's events weighing down on you even more.

Stella: I should go to sleep...

I quickly hide the book under the bed and then drink my pills.

I keep forgetting to drink them.

Dad always told me to drink them every night.

But I don't think that I need them anymore...

But I should listen...

You crawl under the covers as you look out the sash windows seeing the moon as it shines brightly along with the stars.

Goodnight,mom...

I love you...

You close your eyes and fall asleep.
You open your eyes feeling confused only to see darkness as you hear the sound of distant heavy rain and yelling.

Unknown 1: MURDERER!!!

Unknown 2: CURSE YOU!!!
YOU'LL ALL SUFFER GREATLY!!! ESPECIALLY HIM!!!

Unknown 3: It...it...is...my fault...I...did...this...
I...deserve...punishment...
I'm sorry...

Stella: NOOO!!!!

You clutch your chest as you breathe heavily sitting upright after bolting up from the dream.

Jimin: Stella?!?!?!

Two warm hands cup your face...
Tears rolling down your cheeks...
You look up to see Jimin looking at you with wide eyes that convey worry and confusion.

It's...Jimin...

Jimin: Are you okay? What happened?

He asks you with a serious yet worried expression.
Gently wiping your tears.
You lower your eyes as he waits for an answer.

Stella: It...it's nothing...*sniff*

You look at him.

Stella: I'm okay...

Jimin: I'm not dumb...
Please tell me...
I'm your best friend...
I care about you...
I want to help...
Please...

Stella: I know...but it's not that big of a deal...

Jimin: It made you cry so it's a big deal to me...

Stella: O...okay...

I tell him about the dreams...
Everything about them as I look at my hands in my lap.
I look at him as I finish.

Why does he look so sad? Maybe I shouldn't have said anything...

Stella: J...Jimin...are you okay?

He looks at you with a small smile.

Jimin: Of course...I'm...fine...

He says softly but there's a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Jimin: Don't worry about those dreams...okay?
They're just dreams...

He caresses my cheek looking into my eyes...

Jimin: I'm here...so don't worry...
You should continue sleeping...
Get as much sleep as possible...

Stella: But...I don't think that's possible...

Jimin: Then...

He scratches his chin looking around.

Jimin: Solution...solution...what can I do to make you fall asleep?

He looks at you as he smiles.

Jimin: To make you tired...
I might have an idea*wink*
If you're up for it*mischievous smirk*

Stella: Jimin...n...

You feel a bit shy as he continues smiling.

Jimin: You're cute when you get shy...
Well...you're cute regardless...

You feel yourself blushing.

Jimin: I was only teasing,okay?
But if you ever want to...

You cover your face with your hands as your face gets even warmer.

Jimin: Okay...okay...I'm done teasing*laugh*

Stella: I know what you can do...but...I'm not sure if you'll agree...

Jimin: And what's that?

You nervously clear your throat.

Stella: Could you maybe...sing...for me?

You immediately look at the floor as his eyes widen.

Stella: It's okay if you don't---

He smiles shaking his head.

Jimin: No...it's okay...
It would be an honor to sing for you.

He tells you to lay down as he makes sure that you're warm and comfortable.
He goes to your desk grabbing the chair as he walks back to you.
He sits down and scoots closer to your bed while holding onto the chair smiling.

Jimin: Any particular song in mind?

You give a small nod as you didn't even have to think about which song you want him to sing for you.

Stella: The song "Talking to the moon".

Jimin: That's a nice song...
Great pick...
I won't start from the beginning though since I can't really remember the full song.

You nod.
Jimin clears his throat and then...
He closes his eyes taking a deep breath.

Jimin: 🎶At night when the stars light up my room🎵
🎶I sit by myself🎵
🎶Talking to the moon🎵
🎶Tryna get to you🎵
🎶In hopes you're on the other side talking to me too🎵
🎶Or am I a fool who sits alone talking to the moon?🎵

Jimin continues singing with his eyes closed as I sit upright staring at him in wonder.

He has a nice voice...

I don't even know how to describe it...

His eyes slowly open as he's about to sing the final verses.

Jimin: 🎶I know you're somewhere out there🎵
🎶Somewhere far away🎵

He stares into your eyes with a small smile...
Both of you completely silent as you're just staring at each other...
Slowly you two drift closer and closer to each other...
You close your eyes...waiting...
You feel Jimin's lips on the corner of your mouth for a second.
You open your eyes as Jimin backs away smiling...
Moving a red stray hair from your face...

Jimin: You should get some rest...
Goodnight,lioness.

You feel yourself blushing as you avert your eyes.

Stella: Uhm...goodnight...Jimin...

I lay down as he pulls the blanket over me smiling at me.

Jimin: She's more beautiful than the moon...
....I should let her rest....
Sweet dreams:)

I watch as he pulls the chair back to my desk.
He walks to the door opening it as he looks over his shoulder giving me a wink and small wave before he exits my room and closes the door behind him.
I touch the corner of my mouth that he kissed as I look at the ceiling.

All this can't be real...

This has to be some sort of dream...

The way he looked at me...

I can't believe I almost...

...

Stella: *sigh*

The two of us...are just friends...

Just like I'm with the rest of the guys...

I can safely say that Jimin's a friend...

This others too...

Except Namjoon...

Especially since he seems to not like me being here...

But I don't blame him...

I'm a random girl...

What happened today...this...that Namjoon did...what Jimin did...

Same with what Yoongi always does...

All of it...

It doesn't mean anything...

So my mind should stop telling me the opposite...

It hasn't been long since Leo...

I know that soon it'll be a year already...but still...

I'm still hurting a bit...

And I don't know the guys for long...

We're technically still strangers so catching feelings...

It's not a good idea...

I don't even know if I have feelings for them...

Maybe I do or maybe I'm just...

I honestly confuse myself a lot...

I guess as usual...only time will tell...

You slowly close your eyes.

-Time skip-
-12 February,Saturday-

...

...

...

You slowly open your eyes looking out the window.

It's morning...

I should head to the livingroom for breakfast...

But honestly...

I don't feel like eating anything...

I can't stop thinking about the thugs...

Eventhough they did do wrong...

I'm sure they have a family who are hurting and mourning right now...

It's not easy losing a loved one...

Be it a pet or a person...

I know how it feels...

I'm not making excuses for what they did...

But I feel bad that their lives just came to an end...

We don't even know what happened...

I really should go and eat breakfast otherwise I'm sure Yoongi will come here to get me.

And it's also almost Valentine's day...

My first Valentine's day without Leo...

It used to be our anniversary date...

And now...

It's just a day that I dread...

Yoongi: Morning.
It's time for breakfast*gummy smile and dimple*

You turn your head and smile.

Stella: I was just thinking that you'd come here if I didn't go...
And here you are:)

Yoongi: It seems you have me all figured out.

He says with a small smile.

Yoongi: And yes...I thought that you'd most likely not eat something...
Because of...everything...

He says as his smile falters a bit.
He shakes his head and his smile widens.

Yoongi: But just because it's weekend...
Don't think I'll allow you to skip breakfast*chuckle*

Stella: So you're going to keep track of my meals?

You ask teasingly.

Yoongi: Well...I have no problem doing that. I'll even cook/make your lunches and pack them.
And if you don't eat them then I'll feed you.

Your face turns a little red.
Yoongi's eyes widen as he realizes what he said.

Yoongi: Uhm...I...I...mean...
I would if you allow me to...
Uhm...I...

Stella: I understand*laugh*
But you don't have to worry.

Yoongi: Of course I do...
It's my job to worry about you...

Stella: What?

Yoongi: I meant that...
We're friends...
I assume...

Stella: Of course we are:)

A small smile spreads across his face.

Yoongi: So...naturally...
Since I care about you...
I would worry...
I care about you a lot...so...of course I'd worry...
I mean I already basically said it...

And that's the moment I realize...

YOONGI'S SEEING ME WITH MY MESSY HAIR AND I PROBABLY HAVE DROOL ON MY FACE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! T_T

I immediately pull the blanket over myself as I peek out from it.
Only the top half of my face visible.

Yoongi: What happened?
Did what I say embarrass her or something?
Uhm...
Are you okay,Stella?

You shake your head.

Stella: You're seeing me in this state...
So no...I'm not okay.

Yoongi looks at you as you pull the blanket closer.

Yoongi: Uhm...what are you talking about?

You pull the blanket down gesturing to your messy hair and red,unwashed face before pulling the blanket up again.
Yoongi tilts his head making some of his straight ginger hair fall to the side.

Yoongi: Your face and hair...?
If you're saying what I think you're saying...
Then I'm apologizing for what I'm about to say...

He takes a deep breath closing his eyes before opening them and looking at you.

Yoongi: You're an idiot...

Your eyes widen.

Stella: M-me?

He nods.

Yoongi: Yes,you...

Stella: But why?

Yoongi: Because you really think that I care about your hair being messy...
That you face is red and has lines all over it...

Stella: ...

Yoongi: I don't care about things like that...
And personally...
I think you look great either way...

He says the last sentence softly averting his russet brown eyes.

Stella: Oh...thanks...s...

I didn't expect this...

Yoongi's so cute...

Just look at how shy he is...

He looks at you.

Yoongi: Anyways...
You should eat...
Your breakfast is getting cold.

-In the livingroom-

I happily eat the sandwich Yoongi made for me as the others are sitting and doing various things.
As usual whatever Yoongi makes tastes awesome.
Just as I'm about to take another bite of the delicious sandwich...
I hear footsteps coming from the hall.
All of us look towards the hall.
My eyes widen and I almost choke.

Oh...my...gosh...

Namjoon comes into view stopping and crosses his arms as all of you look at him.
You look him up and down as some of the tomato from your sandwich falls out and onto your plate.
You're mostly focused on the tight pants that Namjoon's wearing.

He looks HOT!!!!

If he were a pepper I'd be dead.

I'm sure of it.

Those pants are giving me such a nice frontal side view too...

I honestly want to rip them off though...

NOPE! I won't think like this.

Breathe...breathe...

I think Jimin's busy rubbing off on me;_;

Jimin looks from you to Namjoon as he's sitting next to you and is clearly not happy with what you're seeing and looking at XD

But Namjoon looks so hot!!!!

Why does he look so hot?!?!?!

Is this heaven or hell?!?!

I honestly can't tell.

Namjoon looks at you and your chocolate brown eyes widen even more.

SHIT!!!! He's looking at me!!!

You immediately look down at your sandwich and continue eating.
Yoongi smiles at Namjoon.

Yoongi: Hey,Namjoon:)

Namjoon tears his chestnut brown eyes away from you and looks at him.

Namjoon: Morning. I'm heading out.

Yoongi: Oh...but you haven't eaten your breakfast yet*gesturing to the plate of his usual breakfast and mug of coffee that's on the coffee table*

Namjoon: I'll just grab something at the café...
Jungkook can have my breakfast.
See you all later.

He walks towards the door heading out and closes it behind him as you're still eating your sandwich slowly and Jimin's frowning still.

Jungkook: Miss Stella?

He asks picking up Namjoon's plate.
You take a bite from your sandwich chewing and then swallow as you look at him.

Stella: Mhm...uh...yes?

Jungkook: Are you okay?

Stella: Yes,I'm just enjoying the sandwich that Yoongi made.

You mean that you were actually enjoying something else besides the sandwich XD
Naughty naughty XD
Yoongi smiles.

Yoongi: Glad you're enjoying it...
Just tell me if you want another.
Anyways...I went to check our mail today and I got an envelope that's addressed to you.

You look at him confused.

Stella: To me?

Yoongi: Yep...

He gets up and walks over to you.
He takes an envelope from his cargo jacket's pocket and hands it to you.

Stella: Yoongi...do you know what's in it?

You ask putting down your sandwich on your plate as you open the envelope taking out a letter.

Stella: Seems like it's a letter...

Yoongi: No...it's addressed to you...
So I haven't opened it or anything...
I'll go sit and you read it,okay?

You nod.
As Yoongi goes and sits you look at the letter and open it.
And it says...

-End of chapter 17-

What does this letter contain and who sent it and for what reason? And Namjoon acted in an unexpected way...Is he maybe changing his attitude towards you? It seems things are really heating up between you and Namjoon,Yoongi and Jimin...but especially you and Namjoon. Will that heat become even hotter or will it dissipate? What will happen next? Find out on the next chapter of Fate. Thanks for reading💙
