23. First Person In Mind
You left Jungkook only when you really needed to go to the restroom. You weren't sure what you wanted more; puke or pee.
The restroom was upstairs. You managed to get there and opened the first door which was the room with the sinks, and you were about to open the door of the female bathroom when you felt a hand grabbing yours and turning you around. You faced the guy you had danced before when you were trying to make Jungkook jealous.
"Very rude of you to ran away with another man" he said, trying to act disappointed "Can I come in too? To finish the job we left unfinished..." he said and approached you so much he stuck you on the wall behind.
You tried to push him but you were so dizzy you couldn't even control your strength. You were too week and got scared and shouted the name of the first person that came to your mind.
"TAEHYUNG-"
But his hand closed your mouth and you thought that even if you were sober you wouldn't be strong enough to push him. He leaned to your ear and his disgusting voice pronounced the words that brought you back to reality.
"You're begging inside of you for us to believe that it's not your picture, and the way you moved with me tonight really got me curious. I would really love to see that body by myself and decide whether to believe you or not..."
The picture.
He knew about the fucking picture.
He kissed your neck and you tried to scream but you couldn't. Your tears were making your vision blur. You didn't know this guy, you were sure he wasn't from your school.
How far could this rumor have possibly gotten?
"It's pretty annoying having all these men around you all the time, especially that freak Yoongi, but look at you now, in my hands, alone..."
His hand was about to slip under your skirt when a shadow entered the room and grabbed the boy from behind and pulled him away from you. You fell to the ground and did your best to manage to see clearly what was happening.
Taehyung had grabbed the guy and punched him hard in the face. The guy tried to attack back but your friend was too fast and placed his one hand underneath the other's jaw, turning it to the sky, and the other to his abdomen, punching again. The guy fell to the ground in pain and as soon as he was able to walk, he walked to the exit as fast as he could.
"Be afraid of me more than Yoongi" Taehyung told him and the boy was too scared to answer, so he just nodded like a good boy getting scolded by his parents.
Taehyung kneeled in front of you and helped you standing up. Before you were able to thank him or anything, you ran into the bathroom and puked. It could be because of the wine, it could be because of this guy kissing your neck, you'd never get to know. During the whole process, Taehyung was holding your hair up and helped you clean yourself.
"Thank you" you told him and looked at him
This time, he wasn't avoiding your gaze, but he didn't seem friendly either.
"Next time, before making your boyfriend jealous, use this brain to think" he said and pointed at your head
"Don't scold me..." you said, and you noticed he pronounced the word 'boyfriend' almost as if he hated it.
You didn't correct him or anything, because you really didn't know what you and Jungkook were. And you couldn't even bother with it right now.
"I'm sorry" you told him what you wanted to say the whole night "for treating you like so coldly before coming here. I didn't mean to, it's just that I feel weird with some things like... the others wanting to get closer to my personal life and problems, and I get that feeling a lot from you. I'm sorry Taehyung, you're always so nice to me"
"You know what? The same thing happened the last time when you yelled at me, and even though I really believe I didn't deserve that both then and now, what actually bothered me was that you let Jungkook believe I had done something bad to you when he found us. By the way you were looking at me I almost believed that too, so I don't really blame him. But please talk. You know better than anyone the importance of saying the truth when you know it, and not letting the other assuming things just by what it looks like"
At that point, you felt really bad for making Taehyung feel like that. Friends were supposed to support each other, and even though he was doing that a lot with his own way, you weren't doing the same. The words he said really hit you hard, as you were reminded of how Taemin lied about the picture, and how your 'friends' weren't even bothered at times to tell the truth. You didn't want to become that person.
Taehyung seemed more relieved now that he had told what was bothering him "I feel better now" he said and smiled
"You're right" you said "I'll do my best not to treat you or anyone unfairly because of my personal problems. And thank you for pointing that out. And for helping me... So... are we okay now?"
Instead of answering, he came closer and pulled you into his warm embrace "Hug again?" you joked and he laughed
"Told you we must do it more from now on"
You wondered why the first name that came to your mind when you were in danger was his.

After returning to your friends, an unpleasant even had happened.
Jin ran to you and gave you your things, Taehyung's coat and your bag and told you you were leaving the place immediately.
"Why? What happened?"
"Hoseok. He drank... I don't know how much he drank, but he is in pain and we have to hurry to the hospital right now, come"
You, Taehyung and Jungkook were in Jungkook's car, and Jin drove Hoseok's car with Jimin and Hoseok. The boy was shouting the whole time and got to the hospital as fast as possible.

"Yoongi? Where are you?" Namjoon's voice was heard from Yoongi's cellphone
"Waiting for bus, just got off from work and I'm heading to the hospital with the others. Heard what happened with Hoseok?"
"Yeah, Y/N told me, I'll come tomorrow to visit him. I can't get out right now"
"I know" Yoongi agreed
"She also told me she was sexually assaulted and that Taehyung punched the guy really hard. Why everything goes so wrong? It's almost funny. I was beaten cause I dared to ask whether I could go out at night when there's school tomorrow"
"Fuck, again? You okay now? Can I come to beat your parents?"
"Please, Yoongi, no"
"Nights like this, you know what I think about?" Yoongi asked
"What?"
A moment of silence. Namjoon heard the cars from the road Yoongi was waiting at.
"There's a nice place some miles away from here. Forest, river and a cliff. You know, maybe we could get into a truck and make a long road trip there or something"
Namjoon seemed to think about it a laughed.
"Would be nice" he said and sighed "A long, long road trip"

Next morning, you woke up on Jungkook's shoulder at the hospital seats. They had finally told you you could see Hoseok and all of you stood up immediately. During the night, Yoongi had also arrived and Namjoon would also come soon.
All of you entered him room and you were so relieved to see his so familiar smile. Jimin, Jin and Taehyung who were closer to him ran to his place, while you, Jungkook and Yoongi sat at the chairs next to his bed.
"How are you buddy?" Taehyung asked
"I don't feel pain, just some annoyances but they'll let me leave today. I'm fine. Thank you for coming"
"What happened?" Yoongi asked "I don't think I've realized what actually happened and you got here"
Hoseok was reluctant to answer, but in the end he sighed and broke the silence.
"As you can assume, I drank too much. Let's say I have some... issues with drinking. It's been a long time since I drank this much, I wasn't aware what I was doing or that I was so vulnerable to this temptation... Sorry for making you worry"
"Don't do this again man" Jin said "Something bad could happen to you. And think about your dream. You know it won't benefit you at all"
"I know, it's just that I was really sad that I lost my last match" Hoseok said and looked at you, Jungkook and Yoongi who didn't know what he was talking about "I'm playing tennis" he told you "And I wanna pursue it professionally. Drinking so much alcohol doesn't benefit me at all, but every time I fail I drink and that only makes things worse. I'm aware I need to stop"
"What's important is that you're fine now" Yoongi said "And you know it's up to you to fix that. Whether you are a tennis player or not, being in hospital is something none of us want you to end up to"
