~Yumi~

Namjoon winked at me and mouthed, Good luck! before leaving me here with Seokjin. He was pissed. Well, just what I needed at two o'clock in the morning.

"Have a good night," I said as I walked towards the door, except Seokjin's hand reached out and grabbed my wrist, pulling me to a stop.

I closed my eyes briefly. Damn it, Namjoon.

"Getting real close and cosy with my members, are you?" he said, eyes full of annoyance. "Doing all that like you weren't naked and in bed with me the other night."

I slapped his hand away and arched an eyebrow at him, "Is that jealousy I hear, my handsome hubby?"

Seokjin's eyes grew cold. "I'm not jealous."

I waved him off. "Then we don't need to have this kind of conversation. Now, I'll be off—"

Seokjin jerked me in front of him, holding me there with his hands on my shoulders. "Don't walk away while I'm talking to you," he snapped.

I eyed him wearily. "Fine, fine. Are we done here? I have to submit a story so I need to really get back to editing if you don't—"

His hand reached out, grabbing hold of my chin as he tilted it towards his. My heart raced at how close he was to me.

"You don't go near my members," he whispered. I could hear the threat in his whisper. "You don't touch them too."

"Fine," I forced myself to say. I could hear my tone shaking and I hated that. Batting his hand away from me, I said to him, "Don't touch me too. I hate it when you do that."

My eyes burned with angry tears as I bolted out of there and towards my room. It's almost like that night didn't exist. The night that Seokjin and I fell asleep together in each other's arms. I was able to sleep peacefully that night thanks to him... not that I will ever tell him that.

***

The weekend after that night, Seokjin decided to drag me out with him since they were filming. I didn't want to go but like always, he doesn't care. When Yoongi saw us ignoring each other, he kindly explained that Minseo will be working with them on this project. I guess he meant that they wanted us to support her in some way. With that kind of reasoning, how can I not agree?

I was in awe as I watched Minseo expertly direct and film the members. She looked seriously cool from where I was sitting. Seyeon and Jiyeon were busy paying attention to their men and to some degree, bothering them too.

So I sat alone and watched. I was fine with that.

"Make sure you eat something," I heard Jimin said.

I looked up at him from where I was sitting. He'd just finished getting changed.

"I'm not hungry," I told him.

"Well, I'm telling you to eat," he shrugged, reaching for a bottle of water. "You look like you've lost weight these days, noona while the rest of us got fat."

I felt my lips twitched at that. "That's not true."

Jimin scoffed. "It's true and you know it."

"Jimin!" Minseo called out.

"Work calls," he murmured, walking away but not before pointing a finger at me. "Eat."

Maybe it was because everyone was having fun, laughing and talking right there in front of me... but without me. It reminded me of what can never be mine. Or maybe it was because I was somewhat happy for all of them. Seeing how Jiyeon had her arms wrapped around Hoseok's waist as the two smiled at each other as well as how Taehyung held Minseo in his arms, her back to his front, whispering all sorts of things to make her laugh and even how Seyeon was busy grabbing Yoongi's face and grinning at him...these things made my heart hurt. Just a little. But it's not in a bad way. Not really.

I got to my feet, deciding that it's probably best if I was to nap for a while. So that's what I did. Took a nap and when I heard something, that's when my eyes opened and I saw it.

Someone came lunging at me.

~Seokjin~

Seokjin and the members were busy laughing and talking when suddenly, there was a loud shout and the sound of things crashing.

His eyes immediately went towards where Yumi was sitting before and his heart began pounding when he saw that she wasn't there.

"Yumi," he murmured, about to go and find Yumi.

"Outside!" their manager said, running towards them, face paled. "There's an armed person in here."

Everyone froze at that. Seyeon's face paled as she grabbed Yoongi's hand, ready to run with him.

"What do you mean?" Namjoon asked, barely able to hold back his anger. "I thought we cleared and rented this place for filming."

"We don't know, just leave!" he ordered.

Seokjin didn't listen. He ran out of there, ignoring the members calling for him.

~Yumi~

"I'm telling you!" I yelled, holding up pot plant. "I'm not going with you!"

"Your father wants you—"

"I will seriously throw this in your face, mister!" I hissed, my heart racing from the adrenaline.

Apparently ignoring my father's calls and texts have been a really bad idea. He's desperate. The last time he sent his thugs to get me was when he forced me to marry Seokjin. I was knocked out and bleeding when I came to. Seeing that this guy is trying to take me to my father, I wonder what's with him this time. For him to send someone here, knowing that Seokjin and the others were here... I wonder if he thought I'd give in and go easily.

Maybe it was because we spent too much time throwing things at each other but either way, the man looked scared when he heard people heading our way.

"I'm not going anywhere with you," I said, breathlessly. "Over my dead body."

"Your people will get hurt if you don't come with me," he said in a warning tone. "You're lucky this time because I have a daughter your age. The next person or people your father send won't be as nice."

I felt chills at that. Somehow, I don't doubt his words.

Without another word, the man turned and ran down the stairs. The second he left, my legs gave way and the pot fell from my hand, crashing on the floor and I fell with it. So many thoughts were running through my mind as I let his words sink in.

He's right though. If he was as bad as those men before, he would have used force and knocked me out but he didn't. I fought back and he had to defend himself before we faced each other.

I shivered but it was from fear. The angry tears in my eyes were proof of how frustrated and scared I was.

"Yumi!"

I stiffened at that and blinked the tears away before I turned around. Seokjin was suddenly in my space, looking handsome as ever. I glanced down at his bare feet and the shattered glasses, holding up my hands.

"No! Stay away!"

Seokjin came to a stop and frowned as he glanced down at the glass at my feet.

"You're not wearing any shoes."

"You're not too!" I hissed. I took them off while I was taking a nap and didn't get the chance to put them back on. "Leave! Put some shoes on and get the staff members to—"

Ignoring this, Seokjin took a step towards me and then reached out.

"What are you—" I was cut off when Seokjin picked me up, bridal style.

I shoved at his chest, "Idiot, you're going to cut your feet!"

"Time for you to go home, Shortcake," Seokjin said, in a low drawl.

I stopped struggling and glanced up at him. It was then that I noticed that was a small cut on his face.

"What happened to your face?" I asked him, narrowing my eyes on him.

Seokjin didn't answer me as he carried me out of there.

~Seokjin~

Seokjin just put Yumi in the van when he heard someone calling his name.

"Seokjin!" Minseo called out.

He looked over and saw her running towards him, waving at him to stop and not leave yet. Seokjin just looked at her, amused. As if knowing what she's about to do, Seokjin opened his arms and Minseo threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Are you okay?" she gasped out, pulling back, hands holding him. "Please tell me you're okay!"

"You'd think she would check on her boyfriend first," Taehyung grumbled as he neared them. He grabbed Minseo's elbow and pulled her back towards him.

"Now, now. I have to make sure my favourite member is okay first," she said, eyes still on Seokjin. "As for you, I'll do a thorough inspection on your body behind closed doors later."

Taehyung tried hard not to smile at that but anyone could see he was secretly happy and looking forward to it.

"I'll see you soon," Seokjin said to the others.

"Hyung, I'll go with you," Jungkook said, turning to look at the other members. "We'll talk after everything is done."
