Two Weeks Later

Areum's P.O.V

After that night I didn't talk with Seokjin about that issue.. I can't jump to a conclusion because of whatever Taehyung said that day.. I've my own ways to bring out what is going on..

Yes I get some weird vibes from him, but I need to be sure before confronting him.. It's been so long since I saw Taehyung because I get busy with my own life.. I talked with Jungkook again after my not so good conversation with Jimin.. But Jungkook said he sorted things out with Suzy?!

I tried to talk with Suzy, but Jimin already told me what happened that night.. After that I thought I should let it go, and let them decide what they're gonna do about it..

I just come home after finishing my shift, take a long bath, and now in the common study room making my lessons for my upcoming classes..

I sigh.. " I need coffee. My head will burst out seriously!!"

I huff, and get up, when I hear Yoongi Oppa call me from the 1st floor.. " In a minute Oppa.."

" Kuzi Come downstairs right now!!" He yells..

I start running, and going down using the staircase.. " Oppa what happened why are you screami- AAAHH!!"

Don't have the time to realize but I slip on one of the stairs, and my feet twitch, making a crack sound, confirming I'm getting a fracture in my ankle..

I've worn an oversized hoodie set, and the pants are so loose that it is coming underneath my feet.. I couldn't care less, so I wore that but never have I thought it'll curse me back like this..

Next thing I feel a hard surface against my waistline.. The flesh is too smooth, and soft that it doesn't take time to send signals to my brain about the huge pain I've started feeling in my waist..

It feels like in slow motion to see all of my brothers run to me after I scream.. Seokjin is in front of everyone..

" AREUM!!" I hear someone scream my name, and I look at Yoongi Oppa with a shocked face, come to me, and hold me..

" Kuzi you okay? Areum? Look at me, Areum.." He's about to hold my waist..

" AH FUCK DON'T TOUCH ME IT HURTS!" I scream.. It's paining way too much...

"Areum.."

" It hurts Oppa.. It hurts.. " I start crying like a baby..

" Areum but how did you fall from the stair.. What were you even thinking??" Seokjin asks..

" I-Ah!! I-.. You called me and I thought something important Ah!!" I say looking at Yoongi Oppa..

" Areum baby-"

" Yah my child are you okay??" Hobi gets interrupted by someone, and I look up to see Seokjin's father is there..

" Aish can this day get any worse!! I'm sorry Sir you've to see me in this state.. I really became clumsy that I didn't re-"

" As far I remember you were so aware of your surroundings that you could sense if someone stepped behind you.. I never thought I'd see you in this state.." Someone says without revealing themselves, but I can recognize the voice pretty well..

Taehyung..

" What?? You guys know each other?" Seokjin's father asks..

" No Sir.. It's like when I 1st met her, I was really amazed by her sense of everything so I thought.."

" What is he doing here?" I say, ignoring my pain..

" Dad invited him for dinner.." Seokjin grits..

" Enough talking.. Areum, hold my shoulder, and try to get up okay?" Namjoon Oppa slides his hand over his shoulder to lift me up..

" STOP STOP STOP AHHH OPPAA IT FUCKING HURTS!!!" I scream again, and he immediately stops trying..

" Move everyone.." Seokjin Oppa comes close to me..

He kneels down and looks at me.. His eyes become soft seeing me in this state.. Seeing him, I shed another pair of tears.. That I'm literally begging everyone not to touch me, because it's too much.. Frowning his brows, he holds my chin, and I let go of the tears I was holding.. He kisses my forehead softly.. " Do you trust me?" He whispers

I look at Taehyung who also knits his forehead seeing me in this state.. I look at Seokjin and slightly nod..

" Then hold my shoulder.. And close your eyes.. Just for some seconds.. Can you do that for me Baby?" I sigh heavily, and nod.. I take a deep breath and close my eyes, holding his shoulder.

He slides a hand behind my back, far away from my swollen place, and another hand under my knee.. He pulls me so slowly that I don't even realize when he lifts me up in bridal style..

But my ankle waves a little, and I scream again.. " oppa.. I-"

" Shhhh it's okay, it's okay I got you.. I got you baby.. Let's go to my room.." He whispers in my ears..

He looks at Jungkook, and tells him to bring the necessary things to plaster my ankle, also some medicines, and cold water.. He doesn't waste any time, and vanishes from my sight..

" Dad please take care of your guest.. I can't accompany you right now.." I sneak to the crook of his neck, sobbing real hard..

His father hums, as Seokjin starts walking to his room..

" Seokjin really loves her a lot, ha.. I've never seen someone being this much conscious about her except us.." Hobi says..

" Of course he loves her.. I sensed it the day we came here.." Yoongi Oppa nods..

" I think finally our baby found someone who's gonna care for her, pamper her like he should.." Namjoon Oppa smiles..

They totally forget about someone who closes his eyes, and gulps harshly.. Each and everything about me, and Seokjin are feeling like a stab to him..

Taehyung clears his throat.. " Excuse me." and leaves the hall room..

" Okay now calm down a little... Let me see where you got hurt." Seokjin lays me on the bed..

I take some deep breaths, and shakenly nod.. He lifts up the hem of my top, and sees a huge purple bruise on my back... His eyes widen.. " Woah.. Okay.. Stay still.." He nods nervously

He opens the side drawer, and pulls out some kind of spray I don't notice..

He comes to me.. " It might sting a little, but the pain will go away for tonight.. I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow okay?" I sniff, and nod..

He sprays that medicine, and it does sting, and after a minute my muscle starts feeling cold, and the pain reduces a little..

In the meantime Jungkook comes with everything.. " I'm really feeling sorry.."

I frown.. " Kookie.. It's okay I'll be alright please don't be sad.."

He scrunches his nose.. " Who are talking about you?? I was feeling sorry for that staircase who had to endure the pressure of an elephant a while ago.."

" I- Oppaa" I whine, as I'm already crying, it comes like I'm crying like a newborn baby..

" Jungkook, help me with her leg.." Oppa says with a heavy voice, and shoots a death glare at him.. Jungkook apologizes, and carefully holds my thighs..

" Areum.. You're a weak bitch!! Prove me wrong.." Jungkook says in a mocky way, and winks.. He means exactly opposite obviously

" I will.. Count in 3.."

He tries to lift my leg, but I scream again so he has to stop.. " I'm sorry I'm sorry.. Please don't mind my scream, just do whatever you want.." I gulp

Jungkook nods, and tries to lift up my leg again.. I bite my lips harshly to stop my scream.. My face becomes red, I'm shaking, but I fail.. I scream again..

We've gone really busy on my legs, that they forget about their surroundings and so am I, that we don't see someone on the balcony.. Directly looking at us..

Seokjin sighs, and looks at Jungkook.. " Focus on her leg. Don't look up here".. Jungkook frowns a little, but nods slightly, and faces me his back..

" Baby.." Seokjin holds my face, and looks at me fondly.. " It'll go away, calm down.. What you need to do is focus on me okay?"

I look at him, and cry a little, and he spells his magic on me.. That I don't sense that much when Jungkook holds my ankle..

He smiles at me, and starts talking about simple stuff to divert my mind.. Seokjin holds my hand.. " Baby... You know I won't let anyone hurt you right??"

" Mhmm.."

" You remember you were upset with me for what I did that day?? I crossed my line for the 1st time, and you cried the whole night for me.." His eyes become soft.. I felt slight pain on my ankle, proving that Jungkook tightening his grip on my ankle..

" It's okay.." I hold his hand, and smile a little..

" So if I ask today.. Does that make me cross that line??" I look confused..

" Can I kiss you baby?" He whispered looking at my lips..

I startle a little.. " Please.." He pleads..

I gulp, and slightly nod.. He smiles, and holds me by the back of my neck, and presses his lips on me softly..

I close my eyes, and try to focus on him, instead the pain builds up on my ankle.. He's kissing me so delicately, and softly, like he's waiting for me to melt down in him..

I start kissing him back, and then my pain increased.. I hiss and he slides his tongue in my mouth, clouding my mind he deepens the kiss..

I again focus on him, and when I'm about to kiss him back, I feel the same pain I felt when I fell from the stairs.. It feels like someone has pulled off my ankle, and rubs chilly paper down there..

I scream, and try to move, but Seokjin holds me, and lets me stay still.. I grab his forearm, and tighten my grip. I don't realize when I bite his bottom lip harshly, that he hisses a little, but he doesn't move, rather holds me tightly.. I dig my nails in his flesh, but he doesn't budge.. I try so hard to focus on him, but I can't.. The pain is unbearable..

He kisses me for the last time, and moves his face.. He smiles sweetly, and kisses my cheeks.. " It's done.."

Taehyung's P.O.V

I feel frustrated. I don't know why.. I came to his house, because his father told me he'd love to have a family dinner with me.. He offered me to go to his house, but it was me who told I'd go to his son's house.. Obviously not for that dickhead, but I wanted to see Areum.. I was missing her recently..

But never have I realized I'll see her in this state.. After Seokjin took her, I excused myself, and came to this side balcony to get some fresh air, when I heard some conversation..

I look to my left to see some lights coming from the window, with some voices.. I slowly come in front of the window to see Seokjin lifts up her top, and sprayes something.. She squeezes her eyes, whimpering, feeling helpless there.. I fist my hand and close my eyes.. I don't know why I can't see Areum in pain..

But she endured hell even before I even came into her life.. I sigh, and see Jungkook comes, and shows her his back.. Each time he's slightly touching her she screams, and my heart aches..

I look up in the sky, praying to the Lord to reduce her pain.. Closing my eyes I murmur something.. My heart feels so heavy to me seeing her like this.. I look at her.. She's crying nonstop.. Her nose redens.. I wish I could hold her in my arms right now.. I wish I could tell her how brave she is, that this is nothing in front of what she had faced.. I wish I-

My breath hitches when I see Seokjin comes close to her, and kisses her.. I close my eyes.. My throat feels so dry and itchy as I gulp hard..

A teardrop leaves my eyes.. I lost her.. I lost her to someone who can never make her happy.. I lost her the day I couldn't save her from Jimin.. I lost that one person who taught me life matters.. Who showed me how beautiful life is..

Except in that life she is nowhere to be found..

I thought without her I'd be happy, because I had everything in my life.. I got my company back.. My parents are still in jail.. I got Maya who was there with me like a shadow.. But still something was missing.. Without that my life couldn't hold its color..

And the name is Areum.. Seeing her in someone else's embrace hurts me.. It's all my fault that I let her go.. Instead of holding her in me, saying I'm never gonna let her go in this life.. I left her like a selfish brat, where she needed me the most..

I want her.. I need her.. I couldn't move my gaze from them.. How Seokjin has someone who once used to be mine.. But she screams again, and I notice Jungkook twists her ankle again..

" Wha-what??" She asks

" Try to move your ankle a bit.." Jungkook says..

" Are you crazy or what?? How could you think-"

" Just try it at least.." Jungkook presses his lips together..

She looks at her ankle, squeezes her eyes, and lightly tries to move the ankle.. And don't know how she can at least move her ankle, but the pain is still there..

" I trusted the right person.." Seokjin winks at Jungkook, and he smiles..

Both of them then plaster her ankle with so much effort.." Seems like your muscles got wounded.. Let's keep it like these.. okay? Don't move your feet too much.." She nods, and leans back her head, and huffs..

She moves her head and looks at the window, and knits her brows.. For a split second our eyes are about to me, but move away from the window..

" Baby.." Seokjin calls her..

" Everything okay??"

" I think.. Nevermind.." She says, and I sigh heavily.. I don't waste any time, and leave the place with a heavy wounded heart.. And the blame is on me..

A/N P.O.V

" Care to explain to us what's going on here??" Jimin has gone outside for some work, and the minute he steps inside the house, Namjoon holds his hand, and drags him to his room..

" I understand you people are confused, but the feeling is mutual.." Jimin says

" What?" Yoongi asks..

" Yeah.. We were supposed to select some companies to collaborate with, and we did already, but out of nowhere Hyung's father came, and introduced Taehyung with us saying now we've to make a contract with his company.. We tried many times to find the cons, but we failed.. And now we're here.. "Jimin sighs..

" So you're telling me Areum knew all of this, but never told us??" Hoseok asked..

" Maybe.. Or she was about to.. After the Collab we all became so busy, and all of our focus was on providing the best to both of the company.. " Jimin explains..

" I wonder what she felt when she 1st saw him again.." Yoongi says, massaging his temple

" I understand, but she's the one who said don't mix professional, and personal life so.. And I'm really sorry that you're facing all of this.." Jimin says

" Oh don't worry about it.. We're tolerating you.. Taehyung is nothing compared to this.. Chill!!" Namjoon says in a mocky tone, and leaves the room..

Jimin lowers his head, and clears his throat.. " Excuse me.."

" Jimin.." Hoseok calls him.. Jimin looks back at him..

" He's just upset.. Don't take his words seriously.." Hoseok tries to smile a little..

" It's ok Sir.. I expected much worse.." Jimin smiles softly, and leaves the room..

Meanwhile

" Feeling better?"

" Kinda.. Your father came, and I can't even meet with him.. I-"

" Don't worry baby.. I'll take care of it.. " Seokjin smiles, holding Areum's hand.. " What you need right now is sleep.. Take some rest.. We'll talk later okay?" Seokjin places a kiss on her forehead.. He brushes her hair a little, and gets up.. He moves to the dorr, and turns off the light of his room.. He looks once again at her, who comforts herself, and drifts into sleep..

Seokjin slowly closes the door, and straight goes to the hall room, and looks around him to see if anyone is there.. He clears his throat a little, and goes in front of the staircase..

He climbs three sections, and pulls out his handkerchief from his pant's pocket.. He looks behind him once again, and bends down...

He wipes something greasy from the staircase, then from the handle which is untouched.. He wipes it harshly, making it crystal clean..

He stands up, and sighs... " I'm sorry, Areum.. But I had no other choice but doing this.." He takes a tissue, and wraps the handkerchief in it..

" I can't stand you, and him even in the same room.. That also in my own house.. I'll keep you far away from him.. no matter what.." He said in his mind

" And making you vulnerable, and weak just for a few days is one of the best ways for me.."

Seokjin sees Taehyung sitting with others, with a sulky face... He smirks thinking his plan worked.. The moment he heard his father invited him for dinner.. He thought about it instantly..

His hand shook of course while he stirred the oily, sticky grease on the staircase, also on the handle.. The minute he was done, he heard his father's voice.. He gulped, feeling guilty, but her face came into his vision, and he confessed himself, what he did was for Areum's own good.. He quickly got up, and left the place immediately..

Right now he's seeing Taehyung talking with everyone but he's not focusing on anything, rather he's thinking something else.. Seokjin chuckles..

" You lost her brother.. And I'll make it sure you never even come close to her.." He murmurs

He comes to the hall room, and sits with others.. Namjoon asks him how Areum is doing, and he says she's sleeping..

He looks at Taehyung, smiles like he's so happy to see him.. Taehyung glares at him, and looks otherwise..

And his eyes catches someone.. 

He got hypnotized when he saw Jungkook once again after 5 years.. The same gaze, the same stare they were holding.. Forgetting everything as Taehyung went back to his memory..

Where Jungkook shared something that shook his world...
