I Need U

Rina woke up some time later when everyone was asleep. She carefully got out of Yoongi’s grasp and went over to the cooler and grabbed a beer before grabbing a pack of cigarettes off the counter and going outside. She walked down into the abandoned pool, the walls were spray painted thanks to Tae and there was another matress. She sat down and opened the beer as she lit a cigarette.

Jungkook had been up earlier and was outside walking around the warehouse, not really focusing on anything. He then spotted Rina outside by the pool. He slumped his shoulders and began making his way over to her. "D-do you m-mind if I sit h-here?" Jungkook asked, slightly stuttering.

Mina woke up the next morning, her face throbbing in pain. Touching her cheek lightly, the events of hers and Namjoon's argument flashed in memory. She was angry and hurt. Angry that he physically put his hands on her and hurt because he didn't seem to care that he did. Mina sighed and grabbed her phone, seeing that she had 10 missed calls. 2 of them were from Jin, 1 from Hoseok, and the rest were from Namjoon. Mina ignoring all of the voicemails and texts, she chucked her phone against the wall, not caring that it smashed into pieces. She'll just get a new phone with a new number so that no one could reach her.

Rina smiled up at him sadly. “Sure kiddo.” She said and scooted over. She reached into her pocket and pulled out Akira’s necklace. “Here, I want you to have this.” She said as she dropped the necklace into his palm.

Namjoon hadn’t slept. He called Jin and told him what happened and now he was worried about Mina. He was driving to the warehouse to pick up Jin and Hoseok to help him look for her.

Jungkook looked at the necklace that Akira would wear all the time. His eyes began to tear up as he held onto the piece of jewelry close to him, afraid that it was going to disappear. Jungkook laid his head on her shoulder, silently crying.

Jin and Hoseok were riding the car with Namjoon. They listened to Namjoon telling them about the fight he and Mina had got into. Hoseok clenched his fist when he heard that Namjoon hit Mina. He was upset about Mina using heroin, but he was furious at Namjoon. "You fucking hit her?!" Hoseok yelled at Namjoon.

Rina rubbed his back. “She really liked you, Jeon. I know you would have made her happy.” She said before kissing his cheek and then getting up. “If anyone asks, I went for a walk and don’t want to be bothered.” She said before walking off.

“I was angry!” Namjoon said. “That doesn’t mean you hit her!” Jin said and shook his head. He continued driving. “Keep a look out for your car.” He mumbled.

Jungkook looked at her, smiling softly at her words. "Promise you'll come back, Rina. I don't want to lose you either." He said softly. "I can't lose another important person in my life."

"How could you hit her? Did you forget where Taehyung and Rina's bruises come from?" Hoseok yelled still pissed at Namjoon. "Maybe she had a reason why she took up heroin. I'm not saying it's right, but have you even tried paying attention to see if she was okay!"

“I’ll be back later okay? I just want some time to myself.” Rina smiled at him. She waved bye before heading off again. She just wanted to be alone and not talk to anyone.

“I have! She doesn’t talk to me!” Namjoon said. Jin sighed as he pulled his truck into a gas station. “If you two are going to keep fighting, get out. I’ll go look for Mina myself and then come back and find you two.” He said.

"Well maybe because you're so stuck in your own world to see how much she was hurting! But now she's probably hurting even more because you hit her. You're not a man Namjoon!" Hoseok yelled at him. Jin sighed and pulled the truck over to the gas station that was nearby. "You two get out. Just go back to the warehouse. I'll go find Mina myself." Jin ordered.

Mina had left the cell phone store with a new phone since she broke hers. She changed her number, so that she wouldn't have any contact with Namjoon. She wasn't going to forgive him for hitting her.

Namjoon sighed and headed back to the warehouse. It wasn’t in any better condition when they got there cause everyone was looking for Rina.

“What’s going on?” Hoseok asked.

“Rina’s gone and isn’t answering her phone.” Jimin said.

“I told you she was going for a walk and didn’t want to be bothered.” Jungkook said as he looked at them.

Mina continued walking around downtown, she didn't really have anywhere in particular to go to, but she needed some fresh air. She put her sunglasses over her eyes so that she could cover her black eye and some of the bruises on her face.

Yoongi calmed everyone down, "Look guys, she just lost her sister. Let's give her some space. I trust her enough to come back home in one piece." He said, trying to be the voice of reason.

Jin continued driving and eventually he spotted Mina. He slowed down beside her and rolled the window down. “Mina! Mina come here!” He called her.

“Yoongi’s right. We need to give her some space, she’ll be back whenever she’s ready.” Namjoon said. “Where’s Mina?” Tae asked Namjoon. Namjoon didn’t look at them or say anything.

Mina looked up to see that Jin was calling her. She pretend that she didn't hear him, but he kept following her. Mina soon stopped, knowing that Jin would keep following her. She approached the truck. "Why are you following me, Jin" she said trying to cover her face to not expose her bruises.

Hoseok gave Namjoon knowing look, crossing his arms. "Yeah where is she? Mina unnie is never here without you." Jimin said.

“I’m checking on you. Namjoon told me what happened.” Jin said as he let her get in. Once she was in, he started driving. “I know you don’t want to go around him and I understand that, but I can’t have someone I care about living on the streets so,” he said as he turned towards his house, “You’re foing to stay with me. Namjoon won’t know. I only ask one thing, you gotta stop shooting up.”

“We got into a fight and...and I hit her and kicked her out of my apartment..” Namjoon said. “You hit her?! Why would you do that?!” Tae asked, getting in Namjoon’s face.

"I threw out the last of my stash last night. But I don't know how get rid of my anxiety. That's why I was shooting up in the first place." Mina admitted to him and then took her sunglasses, revealing her bruises to Jin. It was worse than he thought. "You promise that you won't tell Namjoon I'm here? I don't think I can ever forgive him for hitting me."

Yoongi held Taehyung back from Namjoon. "Why would you do that to her?! Now she may never hang out with us again. She's like a mom to us." Taehyung said, struggling to get out of Yoongi's grip. Jimin looked at Namjoon sadly, "is it true? Did you really do that?" He asked.

“I promise. I won’t even tell the others if you don’t want me to.” Jin said as he looked over at her. “You’ll still hang out with us right? When Joon isn’t around I mean?”

“I overreacted!” Namjoon said. “Yeah you did!” Hoseok shouted. “I should kick your ass right now.” He mumbled. Namjoon didn’t say anything. Jungkook was also quiet.

Mina nodded, "I'll hang out with you guys from time to time. I just need some space. Thanks for letting me stay with you. I really appreciate it." She said and kissed his cheek. "You can tell the kids, just not Joon."

"I just hope she'll find it in her heart to forgive you. But I don't blame her she doesn't it. You just hurt the one person who was truly in love with you." Hoseok grumbled and Namjoon looked at him funny, "Yeah she told me she was in love with you, but was afraid to tell you."

Jin smiled. “I’ll make sure of that. I’ll take you back to my place and then go see them.” He said as he pulled up to his place. “Feel free to make yourself something to eat and everything.” He said as he got out to unlock his front door for her.

Tae eventually pulled away from Yoongi, but instead of going after Namjoon, he ended up walking out. A moment or two later, there was a loud bang as he started smashing a desk that was out in the yard with a bat. Jungkook jumped and ran over to Yoongi, cowering in fear. Tae could be scary when he was angry.

Mina smiled softly. She followed him out of the car to his house. It was a nice apartment, but she wasn't surprised. Jin always has done well for himself and always had a good head on his shoulder. Jin showed Mina the room she would be staying in. "Thank you again for this Jin, I promise I won't be a burden."

Hoseok shoved Namjoon before going over to Jimin who was looking down. "He'll calm down. Just let him get his frustration out." Hoseok comforted Jimin
