Y/N sighs as she leaves her last class of the day, really not knowing or understanding what her teacher had been rambling on about. It was only the third day of school and Taehyung had been persistent in keeping her on her toes as he's had her hanging out with him almost every second of every day. She knew he had a class right around this time so she hurries to the library, going upstairs to perch on a window seat, taking a book out of her bag to read. She knew that Taehyung would be blowing up her phone, so she turned it off, setting it in her bag so she wouldn't be tempted to touch it.

She starts to read but keeps looking out the window, down at the courtyard below her. She never really thought people could be so small from so high up, the people in the grass were talking among one another and there was a game of frisbee going on by some trees. She watches as people exit buildings around the courtyard, seeing Taehyung in the midst of all the people. She watches as he tries to call someone on his phone, assuming that he's trying to contact her.

She rolls her eyes as she sees him start talking into the receiver, going back to her book to get wrapped up in the contents, like there wasn't anything else to be doing. She didn't really pay attention to the time and she sighs as she closes the book, looking outside to see that the sun was starting to set. She yawns and stretches her limbs, shaking her head as she wonders what will happen if she turns her phone back on.

"Y/N?" A voice asks.

She looks up and her face flushes a bit, seeing Jimin walking toward her. Though she wanted to be in his company, she didn't want to be anywhere near him and his playboy, or fuckboy, tendencies. She stays where she is and looks back down at the courtyard, seeing the rest of Taehyung's friend group running around the square.

"Just how long have you been here?" He asks.

"A-A while." She mutters.

"And you couldn't text Taehyung? He's worried sick about you, Y/N." Jimin says softly, leaning against the wall as he watches her look out the window.

"I-I wan-wanted to be a-alone." She says,

"Why? Don't you like hanging out with your brother?" Jimin asks, slightly confused.

She doesn't say anything as she suddenly begins to have flashbacks of him when he did live with them for a while. She feels a panic attack rise in her throat and she starts to breathe heavily, trying to get a grip on herself before she could throw herself into hysteria.

"Y/N?" Jimin asks, trying to move closer to her.

"Stay away." She says, feeling her breathing return to normal.

He stops in his tracks, suddenly aware that something was seriously wrong with her. He looks at her shaking body, furrowing his eyebrows as she takes out what looks to be a brownie. She takes a small portion of it into her mouth before putting the rest of it back in her bag.

"Come with me, we'll go with Taehyung together." Jimin reaches out to her.

She looks at it as if he was going to hit her, seeing fear shoot through her irises before accepting it to get up from the window seat. They walk down the stairs together and into the courtyard where the boys were frantically running around.

"I found her!" Jimin calls out.

As soon as he calls out, the boys flock around her, inspecting her to see if she was okay. Y/N tries her best to get away from them so she could breath and she got her wish as she sees Taehyung come up to her.

"Where were you?" He asks, his voice shaking slightly.

"Library." She says quietly.

Taehyung widens his eyes as he smells her breath.

"Y/N, are you serious? Please tell me that you didn't start with the edibles again." Taehyung asks lowly.

She doesn't answer him, but instead looks at the ground with disappointment, not in him but with herself.

"Give it here." He holds his hand out.

She moves slowly as she gives him the brownie that Jimin had watched her eat a few moments before.

"Let's get you home." He wraps her in a hug as she nods against his chest.

He turns to his friends who had looks of shock and confusion written on their faces, which he smiles sadly at.

"I'll be right back you guys." Taehyung says.

They nod and the two of them make their way to Y/N's dorm, Taehyung feeling like he was about to cry.

"Why? Have the tendencies come back?" He asks.

"It's almost his birthday, Tae, I don't know if I can go through another year without him." Y/N says.

"You've done just fine up until now, Y/N, please try to move on. This isn't what he would have wanted you to do. I know you can't change in a day but appa would have wanted you to live your life." Taehyung says, stopping them near the entrance to sit at a table.

"Taehyung, I know that but I have a hard time believing that. It's my fault he's gone, it's my fault and he'll never forgive me." Y/N starts to cry, making Taehyung circle his arm around her shoulders, feeling tears hit his shirt.

"You and I both know that that's not true, please stop saying that it's your fault, Y/N." Taehyung says, feeling tears rise up to his eyes.

She doesn't answer as she cries harder into his shirt, feeling guilty for her father's death so many years ago.

"Just please promise me, p-promise me I won't find you on the bathroom floor again." Taehyung starts to cry.

The image of Y/N lying in the tub with blood flowing out of her arms had scarred him forever and it's something that he would never forget. From that point on, he promised himself that he would make her life a happy one and that she would move on from her father's death.

"I-I promise, Tae." She says.

Taehyung held onto her shoulder as if she would slip through his grasp, his little sister was the main source of happiness in his life and he wanted to make sure that she was happy too.

"Go inside and get some rest, I'll see you tomorrow. I love you, Y/N." He kisses her forehead as they start to stand up.

"I love you too, Tae." Y/N replies as she hugs him tightly.

She liked to be alone, but she hated the feeling of being alone as it makes her feel empty on the inside and it makes her think about too many things all at once. They part and Taehyung watches as she goes inside, waiting a bit to watch her enter the elevator before going back to his friends.

"Thanks guys, I was really worried." He smiles up at them.

There was an awkward silence as his friends really didn't know how to respond to what had just happened.

"I suppose I should tell you what's up with her huh?" Taehyung chuckles a bit.

"Some context would be nice, yes." Hoseok says.

"So you guys already know that I'm not her brother by blood, I was just some kid that was always hanging around her because her parents and my parents were best friends. When my parents, uh, went away, I moved in with them and Y/N basically became my little sister. One night, she was at a party that she wasn't allowed to go to and of course she had gotten caught by her mom, which led to her mom telling her dad to pick her up from the party-" Taehyung starts.

"Wait, that shy girl was big on parties?" Jungkook perks up.

"That wasn't the only thing she was big on, if there was a chance to get drunk or laid she was there. She was a really different person back then. Anyway, I guess she was a bit drunk when her dad had picked her up and they started fighting in the car. She says that her dad was trying to apologize as he was looking at her in the passenger seat but she was still too mad to let it go and accept that she was in trouble. She says the next thing she knew, her dad was in front of her and the feeling of falling was what she felt when they ran face first off of a bridge and into a pretty big ditch.

She woke up about two weeks later, completely changed and without a father. She stopped talking to all of her friends, stopped going out, stopped eating for a long time and even stopped her plans of becoming an idol. She stopped her dreams because of the guilt that she lived with, she tried to commit suicide when she turned 19. I-I had found her, i-in the t-tub, blood coming from the multiple slits on her arms. I-It was a cl-close call but the doctors were able to bring her back to normal. She went through about a year of counseling and there wasn't another attempt since. She's barely into her twenties and she's starting to get into drugs again." Taehyung shakes his head as tears fall from his eyes.

His friends had their head hung down, trying so hard to not let their own tears spill from their eyes. They weren't expecting this tragic of a backstory from such a small girl and it motivated them even more to want to protect her.

"Well, we just have to show her that there is another path to happiness and that it's possible to live again." Jin perks up.

"Yeah, we'll help you Tae, she looks like she needs a few friends anyway." Jungkook smiles.

"You guys would do that?" Taehyung sniffs.

"Well of course, she's our friend now too you know." Namjoon says.

"Awe, you guys, thank you so much." Taehyung smiles.

"Leave it to us, Tae, we got this." Hoseok smiles.

"Can you tell us what her style was before everything happened?" Jimin asks.

"Actually, I've got a picture." Taehyung says, pulling out his phone.

He scrolls through his camera roll before finally landing on a picture of a girl who was at least 16 years old, dressed in ripped blue jeans, a velvet top that had a long v neck which showed a lot of cleavage. She had a light brown leather jacket and matching brown shoes. The boys crowd around and gawk at her appearance, seeing her long hair flow down to her shoulders and her bright eyes shining against the sun as it was setting in the picture.

Taehyung then went to a more recent picture of her with baggy pants, a simple t-shirt, her hair in a messy bun and glasses that did nothing to hide the bags under her eyes. If they looked closely, they could catch a glimpse of the scars that were left behind. Of course, no one had the guts to look closely except for Jimin, who felt the most for her as he had a similar story to her.

"Do you know what it's time for, Taehyung?" Jin asks.

"Hmm?" Taehyung replies, looking up with his eyebrows raised.

"It's makeover time. Come and help me get things ready, we're starting in the morning." Jin says.
