Jungkook's POV:

It's like she came back a different person.

I keep taking quick glances at her to figure out her expression but I can't quite pin point it. Although I've asked about a million times what's wrong, she just shakes it off and says nothing. Now that we are on the ride home it's even more obvious as she's just staring off into nothingness.

"What'd you do?" Jimin looks at me. Currently I'm sitting in between RaeJae and him.

"To what?" I ask.

"To her!" He whispers forcefully.

"I didn't do anything!" I answer.

"RaeJae, what's wrong?" Jimin now questions her for the first time.

"I said nothing!" She replies without hesitation.

"Obviously not," Jimin grunts, "is Yoongi Hyung mad that you didn't follow his stupid rule or something,"

"It's not a stupid rule, Hyung. And no," she rolls her eyes.

"Jeon Jungkook, what'd you say to her?!" He punches me on the arm.

"I didn't say anything! She just came back like this!" I yell at him out of annoyance. I'm just as worried as he is yet he's blaming me for her behavior.

"Then why is she upset?!" He glares at me angrily and suddenly I feel the need to slap him across the face. Of course I resist the urge, but it's just annoying that he thinks I'm the root of this problem.

"I don't know," I grit my teeth.

"Obviously you did something if it's not Yoongi Hyung! Rae, what'd Jungkook do to upset you?" Jimin looks to her. She doesn't answer, probably because she's so focused twiddling her thumbs that she's ignoring us.

"You little-" Jimin starts to unbuckle his seatbelt. Is he actually going to fight me right now?!

"HYUNG! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I shout, thankful that the driver can't hear us due to the partition. However, despite my argument against his he still grabs the collar of my shirt forcefully, yelling some nonsense in my face.

"STOP!" RaeJae screams. Thank you!

"I'M UPSET BECAUSE I HAVE TO FÜCKING LEAVE BANGTAN!"

Both Jimin and I's mouths drop. One because RaeJae never swears and two because of what she just said in general.

"My parents want custody of me again and they're winning because we haven't been able to fight back since I've been in America for the past two weeks and now I have to go live with them once we get back and pack all my things leaving my dorm and all of you and I don't know what to do!!"

The words leave her mouth in one huge sentence as her hands shake. I watch her lip tremble and almost think that she might cry right here right now. Surprisingly none of us have ever seen one tear escape that girls eyes, yet she's probably seen us sob about a million times.

"Wai-you're leaving us?" I try to form a more meaningful response but my brain can't wrap itself around the idea. She nods her head slightly, biting her lip.

"Rae, we can still win," I say, grabbing her hands to stop them from shaking in her lap.

"So, did someone just contact you about it or something?" Jimin asks softly.

She nods, "my lame excuse for a mother just texted me and-" she stops abruptly.

"And?" I tilt my head.

She doesn't say anything but instead shows the text sent by her mother. My mind swirls with anger as I read it, Jimin's foot starting to tap against the car floor to control himself.

"I'm going to punch that fücking bïtch," he mumbles under his breath so that RaeJae doesn't hear.

"But this doesn't mean that you can't still win! You have so much on them... isn't it obvious who should have custody," I tell her but she shakes her head.

"I don't know how but they've got the judge on their side. They've blown up the whole issue about us 'sharing' a dorm. I know we don't but they took the security footage and looked at the times where I either slept in your guys' dorm rooms or when one of you slept in mine. It just doesn't look good... it doesn't...."

"But Rae when we get back this could change," Jimin looks at her sincerely.

"Maybe," she breaths out, "but I'm just so tired,"

"Do you want to take a nap for a bit? Here lean on my shoulder," I reply, pulling her hair to the opposite side of me.

She shakes her head, but leans on my shoulder regardless and closes her eyes.

RaeJae's POV:

To be tired.

It's a broad term.

I'm not physically tired but mentally tired. I'm tired of constantly having some sort of problem to solve. I'm tired of being worried or worrying others. I'm tired of my life being complete turbulence!

I would've told Jungkook and Jimin this, but they may have not understood.

And I'm tired of being misunderstood.

"Hyung, did you know about this?" Jungkook whispers. They must think I'm sleeping.

"No... but I knew something was up," Jimin answers

"You don't think they can actually win custody of her, right?" Jungkook's question rings in my ears.

"I won't let them," Jimin states.

The car soon rolls to a stop so a pretend to yawn. I slowly open my eyes and sit up in my seat, staring at the ground. Now that the secrets out to Jimin and Jungkook I have to tell the rest of the boys.

I know that they would find out eventually... but telling them just makes it all the more real. At least when only I knew the mood didn't exactly change, for the most part anyway.

"What time are we leaving tomorrow?" I ask Jimin.

He pauses to help me out of the before saying, "we're actually packing up and going now... our flight has a few layovers so our first flight out leaves at 12:30am,"

I reluctantly check the clock which reads 10:43pm and let out a long sigh, "that soon, huh?"

I can tell he doesn't know quite what to say, so instead he hangs his head low and nods. Jungkook comes up beside me and leads us into the building. Memories of when we first got here flood my mind, the whole kidnapping situation.

Is it bad that I would've preferred to be kidnapped alongside all of my hyungs? At least then I wouldn't have to say goodbye... a ridiculous thought, I know.

We enter the dorm together, the rest of the boys chatting about their jobs and the things they experienced today. They all have bright smiles on their faces and for a second I feel jealous. We all worked so hard to be here but apparently I didn't work hard enough.

I never work hard enough.

"Ayyyyy~ How was your day?!" Taehyung brightly greets me. His squarish smiles send pin and needles straight through my heart.

My heart hurts so much right now.

"G-" I stop myself before I find myself crumbling, "bad, really bad,"

His smile instantly disappears and I hate it. I really hate it. I'm taking all of their smiles along with my own.

"Woah, what happened," Tae catches me before I hit my knees on the ground and hugs me.

"RaeJae has something she needs to tell all of us..." Jungkook trails off, allowing for everyone to gather around.

"Hey, it's okay. What is it," I feel Yoongi's hand on my back when a bit of time passes without me saying anything. If I say even one word right now I'll be in tears.

"Do you want me to tell them?" Jimin whispers gently and I nod my head against Tae's chest. After he's explained everything the room is filled with gasps, swears, and other angered actions.

"She has to go live with them tomorrow morning..." Jungkook says solemnly.

"What? Hëll no. They can't do that!" Yoongi exclaims, "someone tell them no,"

"We can't. It was a court order," manager-nim informs.

"This is straight up crazy," Hoseok breaths out with his hands in his hair.

"What if they hurt her?!" Yoongi asks angrily.

"This isn't permanent. She still has a shot at staying emancipated if we show that she's better off in her own. Or in this case, with all of you," Manager-nim says, "and I hate to say this but... we really need to get going soon... I'm so sorry so couldn't provide anymore help,"

"I can get Rae's things together and packed," Jin says, taking some responsibility.

"Hey, RaeJae-ah? Wanna sit on the bed for a bit?" Tae asks softly. I nod my head and he basically carries me to one of the bunks.

"Hyung?" I whisper.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you so much for everythi-"

"Yah! Don't you dare say silly things like that. You still have a huge chance of making things normal again," he tells me with a reassuring smile.

The plane ride was almost 20 hours long. It took us forever to get through TSA, and the layovers were just as tiresome. The whole time I was completely out of it, thinking of the many possibilities that could be my life after all this is over.

A life without Bangtan isn't a life at all.

"Rae-ah," Yoongi taps me on the shoulder as we leave our car to enter our dorms, "when you get back, how about I take you to get Lamb Skewers with Jungkook and I. I'll pay for it and everything,"

"That sounds nice," I smile half heartedly. He shouldn't have said 'when' but 'if'.

We walk up the stairs and are met with men in black suits. They say something into their headsets before approaching us. A bad feeling finds itself in my heart and I instantly feel the need to turn around and run.

"Choi RaeJae, come with us," The man states. I'm scared.

"What? Why? Who are you?" Yoongi steps in front of me and soon I find myself in back of all the boys.

"She needs to leave now. We're taking her to her parents,"

"You said 6am tomorrow!" Jimin shouts.

"You can't just take her like this," Taehyung joins in.

I grab Jungkook's arm and he looks at me worriedly. He pulls me into a hug and I can feel us starting to back up. Is he implying that I should run?

"Yah, let go of her,"

Suddenly they're behind us too and I feel like screaming. Why do I feel like I'm running in place? Why can't anybody let me live? Why can't anybody save me?

"Get the boys out of here,"

Suddenly the men are pushing and shoving all the boys into their dorm. First they literally drag Hoseok by the arm and throw him to the ground and then press Taehyung against the wall.

"STOP!" I scream out, but it's almost like no one hears me.

"STOP IT!" I scream again but am met with the same effect.

I make my way toward Yoongi who is literally being pressed to the ground by one of the men. Are they seriously going to hand cuff him?

"Leave him the fück alone!" I shout, tearing the hand cuffs from the mans grip and throwing it to the other end of the hall.

"Rae, lock yourself in your room! You don't have to go with them!" Yoongi shouts. Soon he's being dragged away with the others, their dorm door shutting with an echo left behind.

"Why do I have to leave now?" I grit my teeth.

"Court orders. Get your stuff together," he glares at me.

"Are you going to take that lock off their door?" I ask, eyeing the large device attached to their door and the wall.

"Once you've left," he answers.

"Yah, what's going on?"

I turn around to see Namjoon who must've been dealing with international matters in the car and got left behind.

"Hyung! Please save me, please save me. Hyung..." I grab onto his shirt and hug him for dear life. He immediately puts his arms around me.

"Please let her go. We're taking her away. It's a court order," the man states for like the millionth time.

"Do you have proof?" Namjoon raises his eyebrows defiantly.

"What is it with you children?! Yes, it's right here! Do you really want to defy the law?" The man shouts. I shiver against Namjoon's chest, knowing that we've lost.

"Rae, look at me. You are going to be fine. We will- HEY! DON'T TOUCH ME!"

Soon enough Namjoon has met the same fate as the others. Now it really is just me all alone.

I take in a deep breath to steady myself, "fine. Fine. I will go if you all leave and go downstairs. I'll meet you down there in exactly 10 minutes,"

"5 minutes," he tells me.

"Fine, 5," I repeat back. He nods his head and takes the rest of the men with them.

"Fück this," I pace back and forth, "I'll show them. I'll really show them, THEY ARE GETTING FÜCKING NOTHING FROM ME! Not my happiness, not my money, not my gödamn life!"

I kick my dorm room door before storming towards the stairs to the roof.
