I'm Fine

@ yoongisgummysmile

"She walked in and found her mom dead," Jin explained to Teahyung. "She's back in my sister's room. She didn't ask, but I think she needs you." Jin took down a third plate for Taehyung, after seeing him grab some food. Jin usually saw everything, so Taehyung didn't fool him.

---

Yoongi met Solar at the end of the street as planned, seeing the marks on her face starting to bruise. "Solar, you need to let me take you to the emergency room. You can't let them get away with this," he pulled her into a hug, trying to offer her some comfort.

@ Taehyung

Taehyung nodded and went up to Jin’s sister’s room. He knocked on the door before walking in. “Nari?” He asked softly, unsure if she was asleep or not.

---

Solar looked at him, “they’re never going to believe me, oppa. My dad will lie to the police...to everyone..” she said, before hugging him again.

@ yoongisgummysmile

Nari sat up when she heard a knock at the door, thankful to see Taehyung poke his head through the door. "Tae," she cried between sobs, burying her head in her arms.

---

"I'll only let you stay at my apartment if you let me take you to the ER now," Yoongi lied. He would let Solar stay over either way, for as long as she needed, "Even if they don't believe you, they can at least make sure you're okay. Please, let me take you."

@ Taehyung

Taehyung walked in, closing the door behind him. He walked over to the bed and sat down, “Hyung told me what happened...I’m sorry.” He said, reaching out to hug her.

---

Solar sighed, “okay..okay..” she said. She followed Yoongi, wondering how they were going to get to the ER when the only one in their group of friends that owned a vehicle was Jin.

@ yoongisgummysmile

Nari let herself collapse into Taehyung's arms as she cried. She wanted to ask about his dad, but couldn't bring herself to say anything. Even if she tried, it probably wouldn't even be audible.

---

Yoongi grabbed Solar's hand as they began walking. The hospital was close to his apartment, so it wasn't too far out of their way. Yoongi didn't know what to say to Solar, just knew his blood was boiling the whole walk.

@ Taehyung

Taehyung held her close, letting her cry it out. He felt his own eyes swell up, he knew Nari and her mom weren’t that close, but it must have been traumatic for her to walk in and find her mom dead.

---

Solar looked up as they entered the hospital. She could already feel people staring at her, their eyes moving to the mark on her face, before directing their attention to Yoongi. “They think you hit me..” she said quietly, as she looked down.

@ yoongisgummysmile

Nari had cried herself to sleep in Taehyung's arms, her eyes feeling tired and overworked. She had had a gut feeling all day that something like this would happen. She'd known for a while that this would happen, it was really just a matter of when. Now that it did, she didn't know what tomorrow would look like. She'd felt unprepared, but she was thankful for her Oppas.

---

"Yep," Yoongi said, looking around the room, "Fucking great." He felt it would make him look even more guilty if he said to everybody that he didn't hit her. "Just go check in, I'll wait over here for you." Yoongi sat down, thinking about what would happen next. If her father got away with this, what would he do? He had to pay. Yoongi's fist tightened, turning his knuckles white.

@ Taehyung

Taehyung carefully laid Nari down when she fell asleep. He covered her up and kissed her forehead, before leaving the room. He went back to the kitchen where Jin had prepared the plates. “Nari’s asleep.”

---

Solar went up to the desk, “excuse me.” She said. The lady looked at her before looking past her to Yoongi. “Do you need me to call the police, honey?” She asked. Solar shook her head no, “he didn’t do that. I was raped...by a friend of my father’s...I’d like a rape kit...p-please..” Solar said softly, unsure if the lady believed her or not but hope she did.

@ yoongisgummysmile

"Thank you," Jin offered Taehyung a plate, "I just didn't want her to be alone. I know you guys are close, I was surprised earlier to see you too arguing." He began eating.

---

Yoongi watched as Solar was taken back for triage. He hoped Solar would let him know if he needed her to be there, but imagined that she might not want him there for something so invasive.

@ Taehyung

“Yeah...I like her Jin, I really do. I just can’t get my feelings across...every time I try to tell her, I clam up and my mind goes blank.” Taehyung sighed as he sat back down. “I don’t know what to do...I felt bad for leaving Soohee with dad all day, she was asleep when I got home but she had a new bruise..” he said, looking down at his plate.

---

Solar came back out about an hour later. “We can leave..” she told Yoongi. The nurses had told her they couldn’t get her dad arrested for this, but they could get the guy that raped her. She was angry and she felt dirty.

@ yoongisgummysmile

"So if you like her, what was she yelling about, Jin asked. "If you need to go back and be with Soohee, I can pack up some food to go for you and her." He offered.

"And for what it's worth, we all think she feels the same."

---

"Your dad will get what's coming to him," Yoongi promised her, wrapping his arm around her shoulders as he walked her out of the E.R. "Even if it's just me, Namjoon, and a baseball bat." He wanted to protect her, he hated seeing any of his friends like this.

They got back to his apartment, and Yoongi made up the bed for Solar. He grabbed a pillow and a blanket, placing them on the couch for himself. "I changed the sheets out on my bed. You can sleep there," he said.

@ Taehyung

“How should I tell her, hyung? I’m okay. If she needs me, she’ll call.” Taehyung said as he started eating. “Can I spend the night though?” He asked Jin.

---

“Are you going to sleep with me?” Solar asked as she sat down on his bed. “I mean...like...cuddle..” she said, stumbling over her words.

@ yoongisgummysmile

Jin pointed his chopsticks at Taehyung, a stern expression on his face, "You sleep in my room if you sleep over, but yes, you can." Jin thought about Taehyung's question for a minute before deciding what advice to give him. "Tae, you spend the most time with her. Whatever you've been doing up to this point has been working, so just tell her Taehyung style," he smiled.

Nari woke up, her eyes feeling very puffy. She'd had so many sleep issues up to this point that she never really got more than a cat nap before her body woke her up again. She smelled food, and then listened to her tummy rumble. She pushed herself out of bed, and shuffled out to the kitchen to see Jin and Taehyung talking, but becoming silent as she walked out.

"Food," she mumbled, sitting next to Taehyung.

---

Yoongi contemplated this, but pointed on the couch, "I'm sleeping here tonight." He started rummaging through his dresser, pulling out a t-shirt and some shorts that he handed to her. "Take a shower and change. If you want to be held later, then I will hold you," he promised her.

He didn't want her to think this meant there would be something between them. This was just him being a good friend to her, knowing she'd need him. He couldn't help but wonder, though, why she decided to call him after how he'd treated her today.

@ Taehyung

“Aw, hyung, are you going to cuddle me? You know I like cuddling.” Taehyung smirked and then nodded. He looked up as Nari came in and smiled. “Hey, feeling any better?” He asked.

---

“Thanks oppa.” Solar said before leaning over and kissing his cheek. She then turned and headed to his bathroom to take a shower.

@ yoongisgummysmile

"This is what you guys do when we're not around?" Nari asked, "Feed each other and cuddle?" She wanted to avoid talking about how she was feeling or about her mom. "I thought we were cuddle buddies, Taehyung-Oppa," she looked at him as she took a bite, and then stuck her lower lip out.

---

"Aish," Yoongi said under his breath, wiping at his cheek. He took out his phone to text Namjoon, since the thought of Solar's dad pissed him off more and more.

'Meet me outside at midnight,' he said. He hadn't been joking when he told Solar her dad was going to get what he deserved.

@ Taehyung

“We are!” Taehyung smiled. “See, Jin, at least someone appreciates my cuddles.” He pouted at his hyung. He smiled whenever Jin rolled his eyes, and continued eating.

---

‘What’s going on? I mean I’ll be there but what’s up?’ Namjoon texted back. He lived alone, his parents having given up on him years ago. He was just watching tv when Yoongi texted.

@ yoongisgummysmile

"Jin Oppa, did you want to play Tujeon tonight, since it's basically a slumber party?" Nari asked, knowing Jin had the cards to play.

"I have to go help my parents at the restaurant for a little bit, but maybe after," Jin said, taking his empty plate to the sink and washing it.

"So what do you want to do Taehyungie?" she asked, looking at him. By now, she had completely forgotten about her being hot and cold to him earlier. She hoped he had as well.

---

'I can't say, just meet me,' Yoongi said, leaving it at that, and putting his phone away. He waited for Solar to get out of the shower.

@ Taehyung

“We can watch a movie if you want?” Taehyung suggested. “Bye hyung!” He said a moment later as Seokjin left out of the house.

---

Solar finished showering and got dressed in some of Yoongi’s clothes before coming back into the livinf room. “I’m hungry..” she said, sitting down beside him.

@ yoongisgummysmile

Nari jumped up, taking both Taehyung and her empty plates to wash them in the sink. "You know I only watch romantic dramas, Oppa. Do you think you can really sit through that?" Thinking about it now, it would probably be a little awkward. She also watched a lot of horror films, but after tonight, she preferred not to.

---

"I'll order take-out, what do you want?" He picked up some of the take-out menus on his coffee table, "Pizza? Chinese? Sushi? Noodles?" he gave the menus to Solar to let her choose.

@ Taehyung

“I can sit through it. If Jimin can make me sit through The Notebook and Titanic, I can handle anything at this point.” Taehyung chuckled. “I’ll make popcorn, you pick the movie.”

---

“Ramen sounds good.” Solar said, looking at the ramen menu. “Okay, I picked out what I want. Should I call?” She asked him.
