*Be sure to check part one if you missed it *

I went downstairs and made a bee-line for Malik.

"Malik!" I shouted my brother's name as I ran down the stairs. He was standing with Maya and Ismael, the three of them turned in my direction at the sound of my voice. I threw myself onto my younger, yet taller brother, feeling affection bloom inside of my heart. He held me in a warm hug. Oh how I missed this kid. Our hug was soon added on by Maya and Ismael, who both added their warmth to the hug the three of us shared. I loved all of my siblings, even Ismael who got on my very last nerve. I didn't have to be here with them now, things could have been so different. I held onto my family tighter. I relished this hug, one that I would always remember in the years to come.

We finally broke away, and my siblings started bombarding me with questions practically immediately. I did my best to answer them all without telling them the hard details of what happened, from the time I got the video until the very end, They wanted to hear everything and I filtered it all to the best of my ability. I didn't want to add to the stress they were sure to had felt over the ordeal.

When I was finally finished, Malik was the first to say something in response.

"Okay, let me just say something. You're crazy and reckless and I can't believe you did something so dangerously irresponsible!" he began passionately, making me feel bad. I frowned at his tirade of words.

"But.... I never knew you could be so brave. We understand why you handled it the way you did, and you saved someone innocent from an awful situation. That ukhti, is something that is so amazing," he finished, gifting me with a smile, taking the initial sting out of his words. Aww! My baby brother approved of something I did for once. I sighed in relief. He hardly ever approves of anything I do. This was a welcomed change from his usual disposition.

I know that what I did was reckless but, I didn't regret it, not for once second. Maya and Ismael shared in Malik's sentiments. I was glad they weren't mad at me and could see the reasons why I did what I did.

"But in the future, if you ever do something like that again I'm gonna have to forbid you from leaving the house," Malik added stoically. I looked at his face to see some signs of a joke. Nope, he was dead serious. I guffawed.

Oh bless my little brother's heart. He still thought because he was taller than me that he was also older than me, the cutie pie.

I attempted to rein in my incredulity when Ismael took Malik's side.

"Exactly, me and Malik both are going to prevent you from going outside," Ismael added unhelpfully. I looked at Maya for support, but to my surprise she looked like she was siding with them.

"Oh c'mon Maya, you're going to be on their team? What about the woman code? You're supposed to side with me," I whined to her.

"You know I always take your side Amani, but I'm sorry I have to agree with the boys this time. We don't want to have to lose you, you know," she said in a somber tone while looking me in the eyes,

My heart melted at my sister's statements. Okay so I could forgive my brothers this one time for their slightly misogynistic idea when compared to the fact that they must have been afraid. I had even been afraid for my own self. I could have some empathy then and not take it personally.

Maya looked like there was more she wanted to say. "What is it Maya?" I prompted her. Maya beckoned me to follow her into the hall, away from everyone else. Once there she turned to face me and launched into a tirade that I didn't anticipate.

"I'm so sorry Amani, I should have told you. I knew this was going to happen. I was so stupid...so so stupid..."

She talked rapidly, her words jumbling together in a confusing torrent that I couldn't understand.

"Woah wait, wait. Just wait a minute Maya, slow down. What do you mean?"

Maya took in a shuddering breath and slowed down her words. "I had a dream about this one night. I knew it was one of my true dreams when I saw it, but I just thought that if I didn't tell anybody that maybe it...maybe it wouldn't come true," she confessed in a defeated whisper.

"What, you mean that you had a dream that V was going to get kidnapped?"

"I didn't know who I was seeing, but I saw a boy with a hood on his head yelling for help in a dirty apartment room. I just didn't know what to do, so I thought I could keep it from happening if I didn't speak about it."

I gave my sister a long look. She was really beating herself up about this. I wrapped a comforting arm around her and pulled her close.

"Listen Maya, you couldn't have caused or prevented anything because what's written always comes to pass. And true dreams are exactly that, no matter if we tell them or not. Truth has a way of presenting itself some way or another, so don't worry about it, you did nothing wrong."

Maya nodded her head and gave me a brittle smile. She might not be hearing me right now in this moment, but I needed her to know she wasn't responsible in any way for what happened. I hoped that she would consider what I told her just now at another time and arrive at the same conclusion for herself. We went back into the living room and rejoined the activity.

I looked around to see the Bangtan Boys sitting on the couch in our living room, we were on the right closer to the dining room, but I could see everyone clearly. My eyes sought out Suga, who caught my gaze immediately. He waved at me and I blushed... as if I hadn't just been hugging him in my room. That was the time that I should have blushed.

I searched around for V and I found him sitting in between Jungkook and Jimin, who were touching him every 5 seconds, almost as if they didn't believe he was really there. The bruise on his face had lightened up to a greenish hue in the sunlight. Despite that however, he looked so much better than he did when I had last seen him. I broke away from everyone and made my way over to the maknaes.

"Hey how are you guys doing? How are you V?"

The three looked up at me with soft expressions lingering on their faces. V stood up soon after I approached, Jimin and Jungkook standing up with him, looking as if he had so much to say and no way to say it.

"Amani...you ah...you...ah...you so brave and....so...so strong and ah... I.. ah..." he sighed, as if frustrated that he couldn't find the words. Jimin put a comforting hand on his shoulder, no doubt more aware of V's feelings than I currently was. I titled my head to the side in shyness and gave V a sincere smile.

"I understand Tae. I'm so glad that you think I'm brave." His opinion actually meant a lot to me, and I really was glad that he thought so highly of me. V shook his head.

"I ah..I..." he faltered, his voice taking on an emotional waver, and in the regular fashion of Tae that I was coming to learn and appreciate, he grabbed me up in a hug to relay all the things he couldn't say.

Today was the day for hugs it appeared. There were so many of them going around. I had enough to last me a lifetime now, but I could never forget all of these hugs. They were special, each of them in their own way.

V didn't hold on to me long, probably because he remembered what happened last time he hugged me, and I could feel Suga watching us so I know he felt it too. Jungkook and Jimin smiled at the whole exchange, and after V stepped back the two came up to me and bowed, one after the other.

"Thank you Ms Amani for eh...saving Taehyung. We very grateful." they both said humbly, bowing low in an unhurried movement. I was touched. The rest of the members, Jin and Jhope and Rapmon and Suga included all came up to me one by one, and bowed low and thanked me in Korean and English, their faces all saying what their words couldn't say. I was at a loss for words. Their gratitude was overwhelming, and I felt tears prick at the edge of my eyes.

"Ms Amani don' cry, pleaseu don' be sadeu, " Jhope said worriedly. I shook the tears away. I didn't want them to get the wrong idea.

"It's not that, I'm just happy we're all here together right now."

Everyone smiled at that, and for the first time in weeks I felt happy again.

We spent the rest of the morning chatting and talking, eating and celebrating V's return. The morning went by quickly, which was followed by the afternoon which soon turned into dusk. Bangtan went home, and I stayed in with my family while we watched movies and ate meals together, the sense of family making me feel better with each passing minute.

Later on back inside my room, as I prepared myself for bed, I pondered everything that happened in my life since coming to Seoul. My life had been irrevocably changed, and could never go back to the way it was. I had met my Idols, got to know them and had the time of my life with them, and when one of them were threatened, I risked everything to save them. My life could never be the same without them now, and as I dozed off to sleep I hoped in my heart of hearts that I'd never have to let any of them go.

I hoped they felt the same way.
