I completely froze, it was as if the world around me stopped moving for a second.

As if I was dreaming that I just heard my brother say my name,

As if I was dreaming that I saw him and Jin together in front of me

But I wasn't dreaming.

The ones I thought had died, that I wouldn't see again, they were standing right here, in this store.

I couldn't speak, I just stared at them until I felt two arms around me in an embrace. It was yoongi.

His body was trembling, his hand caressing my hair.

      'I thought I had lost you forever'

His hug seemed to pull me back into reality. His voice sounded so fragile.

I swallowed 'I am sorry that I didn't try to find you sooner' I said as I now reciprocated his hug. It was that same guilt that came over me as that time when I woke up from my dream.

I leaned backwards and saw the mixture of hurt and relief on Yoongi's face, I don't think I have ever seen him this broken before. It truly ached my heart.

      'I missed you' I whispered, it was loud enough for him to hear but not to the rest of the group.

It was this personal moment, just the two of us.

He caressed my cheek 'I missed you too' he whispered back 'so much'

Hearing him say those words made my stomach fill with butterflies all over again. 

Namjoon was now also coming closer for a hug.

This time I started to cry, the fact he was alive was.

Yoongi stepped back to make room for my brother who immediately took me in his arms as well.

     'hey sis' he said softly

      'I- I thought you were gone' I cried against his chest

      'you're not getting rid of me that easily,' he answered while caressing my back in an attempt to comfort me.

I looked up

      'You'd better never leave me again'

Namjoon smiled and his dimplesshowed 'I'll tryokay?' 

Next thing I know Jin also stood next to me and Namjoon let me go and I was pulled in another hug.

      'y/nnieee you're alive' Jin said and the unexpected thing was how he had tears in his eyes. I mean I was also partly crying because I saw him again, and as mentioned before he was like a second brother to me. But I never knew that apparently, I also mean a lot to him.

     'so are you' I answered with a smile through my tears

     'We were so worried about you, I am so happy to see you unharmed' Jin squeezed me a bit harder against him in the embrace.

Before I could answer Jin again someone cleared their throat and it seemed to be my brother. Jin and I let go of each other again and I looked over at Namjoon, wondering what he wanted to say. 

       'So y/n are you going to explain who this is?' Namjoon asked while eyeing The Other in the room. Everyone went silent and focused their attention on me.

The entire time taehyung had been silent, similar to hoseok, only observing us. I almost forgot he was there in the first place because so much was happening at the same time.

This all must be super confusing to Taehyung as well, I am suddenly with four humans, crying my eyes out. He couldn't understand anything that we were saying either as the translation devices were off for the moment. I grabbed mine quickly and I switched it on.

I turned towards Taehyung

       'Taehyung this is my brother' I explained as I pointed at Namjoon, the device translated and yoongi, Hoseok, namjoon and Jin stared at in astonishment. 

      'I thought he was dead?' Taehyung answered confusedly as he switched his gaze between Namjoon and me.

The guys let out a sound of surprise again as they understood what the Other just said. For them it was the first time they could have an understanding of the other. Yoongi's gaze went from the translation device in my hand to my eyes, all the questions behind his stare were evident.

I nodded 'Me too'

      'How is that possible?'' Namjoon finally uttered out and I faced my brother again 'I will explain everything' I said to him and right after I gazed back at Taehyung

       'I will turn off the device and I am going to explain to them what happened to me, okay?' I said and taehyung only nodded this time. 

I turned off the translation device so that it wouldn't translate in between as I explained everything, besides, taehyung knew what happened as he had been there all the time. The four boys all stared at me, waiting for some sort of explanation about how I was able to communicate with the other.

Namjoon, Yoongi, Hoseok and Jin listened attentively to my story and they sometimes looked at Taehyung as I explained for example that he gave me his device against the rain. I told them about Zhora and how she had saved me after I had jumped into the water.

How I spent some days with them until I escaped. I left out the detail of Jungkook almost strangling me to death, fearing that Yoongi would do something impulsive. And eventually I told them about Seung Cheol and how he was hunting to kill me. This part surely made Yoongi very tense. When I was almost finished there was the sound of the others coming from outside. 

My brother and his friends immediately tensed up and raised their weapons.

Not long after, Jimin jungkook and zhora ran into the store.

They all stopped when they saw us together. Jungkook shouted something at taehyung but as all our translation devices were turned off I wasn't too sure what he exactly shouted but it was clear they were tense as well.

Taehyung shook his head to whatever it was Jungkook said but that didn't seem to calm him or Jimin down. They stood next to Taehyung both with their weapons ready.

To my surprise zhora joined me right in the middle of it all

Now it was a clear division:

It was taehyung Jimin and jungkook on one side

Yoongi, Namjoon, hoseok and Jin on the other

And me and zhora in the middle

Everyone again in a ready-to-fight mode

Except for me and zhora who tried to, yet again, calm everyone down
