- Chapter 8 :

"Come with me Jihee." A few more tears left my eyes at the mention of my name. It had been so many years since someone had verbalized my name, and in that time I'd been the only one saying my name again and again to make sure I didn't forget it.

I stared Yoongi in the eyes and then studied his hand. "To where?" I carefully pressed and he shook his head, "I don't know, but it's better than here." He confirmed, taking my hand in his.

I shivered when we both had physical contact and was about to shake off his hand when he instead pulled me with him, making his way back to boys who were giving him crazy looks. I didn't blame them, they thought I was mute. Only Yoongi knew that I wasn't.

"You should probably talk to them so I don't look crazy." Yoongi notified as he neared the boys. I only stared at our intertwined hands as a sense of fear sprouted in me. I didn't want to talk, I just wanted to go back to what I was doing before.

"Um Yoongi, Yoonie's mute and why are you forcefully bringing her here?" Namjoon raised an eyebrow, giving Yoongi a look before sending me a small and u sincere smile. I instead looked down as a painful expression worked itself to my face.

Why wouldn't he let go of my hand?

"She can talk, she was pretending to be mute this whole time since she didn't want to talk to us. Also, her name isn't Yoonie." Yoongi turned and gave me a meaningful look as if signaling for me to talk. I felt all the eyes of the members on me and I began shaking, looking down.

I didn't want the attention.

I didn't want any of this.

I closed my eyes as painful memories flashed into my mind, each one sending a new burst of pain, stronger than the last. I felt a pair of hands in my shoulders and my right hand freed as I looked up, tears fully brimming my eyes now.

"Are you okay? I know Yoongi can be scared but breathe." Jin suggested, earning a scoff from Yoongi. Jin's side shoulders were blocking the other members and I was thankful for that. I nodded and he stepped back, watching me carefully.

"Yoonie, can you talk?" Jin then proceeded, seeing that I'd calmed down. I bit my lip in confusion. Why did I keep colliding with these same men over and over again. I finally looked up into Jin's black eyes, seeing an emotion no one had shown to me in a long time.

Concern.

And when I looked again, all the boys— except Yoongi were the same. They all looked concerned for me. I felt a stone lift from my heart and I gulped, feeling various emotions I thought were locked from me.

"Jihee." I spoke. A few gasps rose from the group and I raised my head to see them surprised and confused. Yoongi merely stood to the side looking annoyed and smug.

"My real name is Kim Jihee."

"So what are we doing about Yoo- erm Jihee noona?" Jungkook whispered, tentatively looking back at the woman who sat on the grass, staring at the cameras.

They'd forced her to come and sit near them and now the camera men were busy communicating with Jihee as she barely spoke or nodded. Yoongi could tell before that she was different, but now he knew there was something seriously wrong about her.

"I don't know but no person should be that skinny or unsocial. I feel bad for her." Hoseok thought deeply, frowning. Jimin nodded next to him, agreeing and Yoongi scoffed. "Just see if she's valuable to us and can work for us, otherwise leave her here." He mused.

"Don't be rude!" Jin chided, smacking his head. Yoongi grumbled before sitting on the grass like a child. The other members paid no heed to him, talking and calling over their manager.

Yoongi however paid attention to Jihee and Jihee only. The girl was finally left alone by the vulture like camera men and she seemed to enjoy it. Her hair swayed in the wind and Yoongi found his eyes soften while looking at her.

He found her pathetic and weak and every negative word he could think of. However he could also see himself in the girl and that scared him the most. She was just trying to survive as well. He knew how she felt, even thought she seemed even more pained than him, he wanted to help her.

"Yoongi hyung?" Yoongi flashed his head back to see Jimin crouched next to him, smiling. "We're going to ask Jihee to do our chores at our dorm so we can look after her." He informed. Yoongi simply nodded and shut his mouth as the members approached the girl.

He wanted to help her become better. After that, he didn't care what happened to her or where she went. It'd be out if his concern.

Jihee flashed him a look of disbelief and Yoongi wondered what the members were saying. She finally looked back to the boys and pursed her lips, looking to the grass.

Yoongi watched her lips as they parted and made a word. His eyes widened at her reply, he hadn't expected that at all

He hadn't expected her to say yes.
