Namjoon made it.

It took an hour, but he arrived back to the cabin in one piece, earning a massive hug from Jimin's hysterical self. Taemin had to go back since it was his shift and to not seem suspicious while Namjoon got his back. The reunion of Jungkook and Mrs. Kim was too cute of a moment to let go, even made Taehyung tear up since she started crying.

Even if the excuse was that she was cutting onions for the food she's making.

The cabin felt so alive with the multiple people there. Everyone sat down at the dinner table once the food was ready, talked to each other about the tales of prison or the stressful times of planning the escape.

It was indeed very stressful for all of them.

Now it's all over..... And they can go on to focusing on the next leave.

Which is tomorrow morning.

Namjoon had to leave back home, which Jimin was a pouting mess about but understood eventually to let him go. Jungkook took home and comfort while being in Woosung's room, celebrating his birthday along with Yeosang's with two cupcakes and a candle.

He wanted to be alone for this, in which everyone understood.

This is his moment to.... Process better.... Without anyone there.

Taehyung is staying with Jimin in the guest room, even though Jimin has offered to stay on the couch. Currently they're going over Taehyung's bank account, how Jimin has successfully been managing his business without him being around and set up a new location already for them to stay.

A plan they can't spill the secret as of where to yet.

After long moments of talking it over, they were finally satisfied with their results and decided to wash up for bed instead.

"Wait so let me get this straight," Jimin muffles with the toothbrush shoved in his mouth, "You have a new alter? A woman?"

Taehyung nods as he reads on book on the bed while leaning against the head rest, "A woman. She's the trauma holder, so I don't really see her as often."

Jimin spits the paste on the sink and rinses his mouth and washes his face before patting his lips with a towel, "Trauma holder huh?"

The other nods stiffly and closes the book as he moves to sit at the edge of the bed, "She holds basically every horrible thing that has happened to me..... That I don't remember."

"Really?" Jimin frowns with hands to his pocket, "She must be..... Going through a lot."

This only made Taehyung frown deeply as he rest his elbows on his thighs with fingers crossed, "She's tough, very tough..... I'm glad I have her and Karma."

As you should.

"I take that back," Taehyung mutters while Karma rants a marathon in his mind. Jimin giggles to this and sits beside him.

He doesn't know exactly how to ask this, more so not wanting to risk crossing unwanted boundaries.

But.... He genuinely wants to understand more.

Understand his alters more.

So with a deep breath, he gathers his courage, "D-Do you think I can talk to them?.... To Karma and V?"

Taehyung turns his head towards him, an eyebrow perked, "You.... Want to talk to them?"

"Yeah," He says instantly, "I mean... I will be around them a lot now.... We are alone and it would be nice to..... Understand, you know?"

This made Taehyung's heart warm up.

So with a weak smile he nods, "Well I cant just summon an alter, they either can come when they please or with a trigger," He says calmly and sits up, "There's always a negative trigger and a positive trigger. For example, with Karma he has a negative trigger that's weapons around me in general or physical signs of danger. A positive trigger would be.... I don't know, Jungkook's existence maybe- Okay that's not true, I can be triggered by anything but him."

Jimin recognizes that husky voice from anywhere.

He watches in facination as Karma leans back against the bed with elbow plopping him up and a lazy glint on his eyes, "So what now? You want to be a little fairy god mother and touch the heart of the broken?"

"You're not broken," Karma's smug expression nudges slightly, "You're perfect.... I mean with a little anger problems and insane obsessive issues-"

"I am not obsessive!" Karma gawks, instantly sitting up with a stubborn head turned away, "Ugh, you're giving me a headache already. Goodbye."

Jimin snickers at him, "You'll grow to like me one day, you'll see!"

Karma didn't even try to hide the twitching smile as his eyes oozes back to its gentle chocolate brown. Taehyung groans annoyedly and rubs his head.

"Does it hurt? when you switch?" Jimin asks carefully, rubbing his neck to ooze a bit of tension on the aching man's muscles.

Taehyung's nods slowly, "Just a headache, not something I'm use to yet," He mutters with a heavy sigh, fixing his eyes to Jimin, "He's still as charming as ever."

"Oh definitely," Jimin remarks back sarcastically and suddenly stands up, nervously rubbing his hands, "If its not too much.... What about V?"

This made Taehyung flutter his eyes to the ground, a deep frown on his lips, "She usually doesn't show herself.... Only when I'm in a very serve traumatic environment that even Karma can't handle."

Jimin pouts doubly, nodding, "C-Can you try to reach her?"

Taehyung hasn't really tried, but Karma is on it right now to see if she would consider it. So he smiles at Jimin, "I'll try, don't know if I'll succeed though."

"And don't feel pressured if you don't, your health comes first," Jimin instantly says, watching him carefully to make sure he's okay.

Taehyung gives him another soft smile slowly flutters his eyes close, calling out to V. Karma even got to the point of banging on the door she's hiding behind, frantically saying that Taehyung is in danger.

Which was a horrible way to trigger her.

So it happened instantly where she came to the light and she peels her eyes open, and Jimin could see the glitter in her orbs unlike Taehyung and Karma's.

And he smiles, "Hi."

V grimaces slightly back to him, looking around the room they're in now, "Why am I here? Taehyung doesn't seem to be in danger. Karma is such a fucking liar."

"I wanted to meet you," Jimin instantly explains and crouches in front of her, her eyes following his every move in caution, "So... Your name is V... Any reason as to why it is?"

The woman perks a slow eyebrow and interlaces her fingers together with her legs crossed, "Well, why do you think my name is V, sugar lips?

One for nicknames..... Is it in relation to her trauma?

Hmmm...

"V for valiant?" Jimin asks, making V's intense scowl slightly soften, but instantly toughens it back up.

"Wrong?"

"V for vibrant?"

"N-No."

"I got it," Jimin beams, staring into her eyes, "Veracious."

"No!" V snaps with an unsettling glare no as she uncrosses her leg, "V because they took it from me. My virginity. V for the stolen innocence. V for the trauma. V.... For Victimized.... Nothing good comes with my name so stop spouting these bright words at my face!"

Wow..... She's so upset....

Jimin frowns deeply upon hearing her stern tone, especially to the dimness in V's eyes as she moves her gaze away from Jimin to stare at the ground intensely. It made him feel so guilting for being the reason for make her feel so uncomfortable, so he gently raised a hand, in which caused her to flinch away instantly.

Oh..

"I'm not going to hurt you," He whispers instantly back to her, slowly guiding her face to face him by the chin, "It's okay to feel hurt after everything you've been through."

"As if you would know what I went through," She mutters bitterly and moves away from his touch, "There's nothing but pain, unlike you that glimmers moments of happiness. That's what I do hun, sink in the negative.

"That's not true," Jimin whispers, thinking over his thoughts to lighten up the mood before smiling, "Describe what you look like."

V furrows her eyebrows to the sudden change of topic, "What?"

"I want to know what you look like," Jimin beams and sits on the floor with legs crossed, "I want to.... See you."

V blinks at the odd boy's suggestion but let's out a bored sigh, "Well.... I have long brunette hair, like Taehyung's mop of hair," She mutters quietly as she touches her hair with a slender movement of her hand, "Sullen cheeks with yellow eyes, almost like a wolf. I have a tattoo under my right eye that says 'The Shadow Like Me' and lips almost like yours but slightly smaller," She describes, making Jimin smile widely to the daze gaze in her eyes, "I'm not too thin, I have muscle and slightly curvy since I'm pretty athletic. I'm not that tall, maybe reaching to your shoulders. I wear black, only black. I have five piercings on each ear, three on the earlobe, two helix, and wear red lips stick most of the time."

Then she rubs her hands together, "I have smaller hands and a few childish tattoos on my arms. I have one on my neck that's like a root of a tree. It represents each trauma and how they branch off or are connected together. My skin is almost like Tae's but maybe a little more darker," She says while caressing her neck but then suddenly pauses with narrowed accusing eyes, "Why are we doing this again?"

Jimin still stares at her with a small smile and gets to his knees, "Because I want to see the strong woman behind those eyes," Jimin whispers, studying the chocolate orbs on her face, "And I see you."

Never in V's life has she encountered someone so.... Caring besides Lucas. That man knew of her existence, way before Karma did, and he would be tender with her whenever she would face a traumatic experience. He knew she rarely came out often, but she still remembers him vividly in her memory.

With Jimin..... He's very..... Meaningful? So to say? The sincerity practically pours out of his eyes and it's something V is not use to....

He's very kind....

S-So kind..

She didn't even stop the tear from escaping past her eyes from how emotional that thought settled in her chest, but Jimin raised a hand and wipes it away.

This time she didn't flinch.

So he then boldly took her hand and places it on her chest, where his heart is. Allowing her to feel his gentle beats against her palm, "My heart is filled with pain too, but I will share with you my joy and happiness just so you won't have to live in that emptiness," He says lowly, making V's lips quiver, "Right here can be our home, where you won't feel afraid, and everything will be okay..... A place where you can feel comfort, right here in my heart."

V squeezes her eyes shut, releasing more tears past her eyelids, "You're so sweet," She shudders and wipes her eyes with her other, blinking a few times to stop the tears, "Thank you."

Jimin stares at her sensitivity and interlaces their fingers together while pressing a peck on her knuckles, "V from now on will stand for.... Venust," Jimin whispers, looking up at her, "Which means beautiful, comes from the Latin word Venustus that came from Venus; The goddess of love. You are Venust."

And for once after such a long time, V genuinely smiles and nods.

V means beautiful.

V means Venust.
