 There's a feeling you might experience... when you're somewhere where you shouldn't be, or you have almost this out of body experience where you can see that the whole picture is not a good one. Like you can see your surroundings and know... and in this case, I could feel that this situation wasn't good. What I couldn't see was there was a reason for that- Two other men with Jihoon who I didn't even notice were watching our interaction.
Jihoon asked to talk outside, and though I was stunned into place at seeing him.. I stepped out first.

"I'm surprised to see you here." He said, looking me over and smiling.

"Well... I uh.... I told you I was coming here." I replied, trying not to sound as angry as I truly was still. For whatever reason... it was like all that anger was resurfacing by just seeing him.. Hearing him... him acting like things were okay and things hadn't happened like they had.

"Yeah, I guess I just thought you wouldn't come here." He said suddenly, which caught me off guard and made me want to laugh almost.

"You thought I just wouldn't come here, even though I said to you that... that this was something I wanted. I told you I had this planned, and I had friends here and I had this planned already. But you thought I just wouldn't show up? I would just cancel?" I questioned, almost dumbfounded by the fact that he thought I was either lying to him, or he thought I was the kind of person to be so upset over not hearing from him that I'd cancel the plan to come here. As if I'd throw everything away because he decided this wasn't a serious thing.

"I just... we talked about living together and really being together, we even talked about marriage Piper. Sure it was joking and teasing but I just thought if you didn't hear from me, you'd just move on." He replied, his words processing and when they did... I was just all the more angry.

"So you were just fucking with me from the start and you figured I wouldn't take it to heart if you just ghosted me and never gave me a real reason? Instead of being a real man and just telling me you wanted nothing to do with me... you just thought that I'd be better off if you just ignored me, change your phone number or whatever... and now after all this time you just still think you were in the right." I laughed. I legit laughed at how preposterous this whole situation was.

"Yo Jihoon, we heading out man?" The voice of someone new chimed in from behind me.

"Yeah. Just give me a few minutes" He replied to the guy. I kept my eyes on Jihoon, still angry and yet finding this whole situation laughable.

"If you need to go-"

"Nah, I want to talk to you. How have you been?" He asked, stepping a little closer. Instinctively I stepped back.

"Really? That's the question? Not... oh hey, I'm sorry for being a total asshole, leading you on, and trying expecting things and then lying about what I was doing and what I wanted.... Not going to apologize for any of that?" I questioned.

"Look, I didn't know if you were serious or not. It's happened before.... Like my friends there, they went overseas to see girls they met and it turned really bad for them. How was I supposed to know you weren't just some chick who was toying with me?" He shot back and if I hadn't been carrying a bag with eggs in it... I'd have swung the bag at him and not felt bad about it.

"So even after all that time... you just thought I was what? Tricking you? What kind of stupid fuck would think that? You saw the money I had saved, I showed you my plan, I bought my ticket and even showed you the receipt! What a lame ass excuse to you trying to-"

"Jihoon.. Seriously... we need to go." The guy from before interrupted me and I wasn't about to let that slide until I turned to look at him and notice the two other guys in the car already. I also noticed a very drunk looking young woman in between the two guys in the back seat. That set off so many red flags for me and without thinking I spoke up.

"That young woman looks way too intoxicated, is she alright?" I asked.

"Never mind about it, it's none of your business. Jihoon... let's before things get too loud." The man was clearly speaking in an irritated tone. He also just seemed strange and kind of suspicious. Irritated, but nervous.

"I can make sure the young woman gets home." I offered up but the glare in the guys eyes in front of me made me realize I probably overstepped.

*Bang Bang* Help!!! Let us out!! *Bang Bang*

As soon as I heard the muffled voice coming from the car... I knew I really shouldn't have been there. Everything as soon as I looked at the strange man's expression only affirmed the icky feeling I got, and everything happened fast from there. In the blink of an eye Jihoon hand wrapped me in a choke hold, my bags falling to the ground- and for some reason my only thought was how my eggs were ruined anyway, my one regret was not hitting Jihoon with them.
The other guy went to open the trunk of the car while Jihoon tried to push me over to it.

"If you'd have just kept your nose out of it, been grateful for just seeing me and left it at that... this wouldn't have had to happen." Jihoon said through gritted teeth as he tried to get me close enough to the trunk so they shove me in. Once near enough to the trunk I noticed the two bound females inside, one was unconscious the other must have been the one who'd spoken up but as she yelled when the trunk opened- the guy backhanded her and then turned to help Jihoon get me into the trunk with the two girls.
The screeching tires that came to a halt, the slamming of a car door and the panic in the voices of both Jihoon and his goon were clear and gave me a little hope. That hope turned huge as the next voice to chime in was that of an angel...

"Let her go!" The voice of demand, of anger and fury. The voice of the man I was so in love with. If my eyes were not shut as I was being restrained and choked.. I might have seen what I heard. Two car doors opening and not closing, Yoongi's grunts as well as sounds of fighting and all the while Jihoon was trying to keep the girl in the trunk who was awake, and me from trying to escape. Jihoon managed to get me part way into the trunk but the girl in there was doing what she could to try and keep me from going fully in. Jihoon was struggling but his three friends were busy with Yoongi and I couldn't see exactly what was happening but I knew who I was hoping would win.

"I. Said. Let her go!" Another yell from Yoongi and more groans, some from voices I didn't know and some from Yoongi. Jihoon seemed to freeze in place at one point and I felt myself yanked back from the trunk. I stumbled back against a hard body, a familiar body and was stabilized as he pulled me to the side. He turned and went for Jihoon, who was pleading as he noticed his three friends on the ground, one unconscious and two very much in pain and barely moving. I fumbled for my phone and called the police. I tried to help the girl in the trunk whose arms and legs were still bound together. With some effort she was freed and she and I cut the tape off of the other girl in the trunk with her. The second girl was still breathing, but she was out cold. When I turned to get Yoongi's attention, I noticed he was still giving Jihoon a beating, he kept saying things to him, mostly about how he was a coward and not a real man. Jihoon couldn't respond and I could tell by his bloodied face that he was about to lose consciousness.

"Yoongi!" I yelled, trying to pull him off Jihoon. Yoongi snapped out of it and climbed off of him, his eyes scanned my face as he stood and he pulled me to him. We heard the sirens in the distance and I had him help me with the intoxicated girl in the back seat of the car who didn't seem phased at all by what happened, she was singing to herself in the backseat.
Yoongi and I, as well as the one girl who was awake and aware, explained to the police what happened.
My groceries were forgotten, discarded as they were now covered in egg goo. Yoongi and I left the station after being thanked by the girls who had finally snapped out of it and the one who helped us help the other two. With Jihoon and his friends behind bars till their court date to determine how extensive their punishment would be... we went home, I couldn't sleep though.. And Yoongi knew it. I wasn't very talkative, he gave me space without giving me space. We cuddled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, and not a word was spoken for hours. Yoongi got up more than I did, he made sure I ate a little something, and drank enough water. He was worried, I could tell, but I was just trying to process what the fuck had happened. I got lots of forehead kisses, and Yoongi made sure that other than trying to choke me out with his forearm, Jihoon hadn't put his hands on me in any other way. I shook my head to tell him no.
For most of the day it was silence and cuddles. By 2pm I'd fallen asleep in his arms, cuddled against him.

"She's okay, I promise. I know Liz, yes, yes. Why don't you come over tomorrow to see her, I think she'd like that. Because it's late now, no. I'm taking care of her, Liz... there's no reason to panic. I want her to be safe too, she'll be fine. She's just going to need some time. No. Liz, she's my girlfriend and I'm perfectly capable of taking care of her... what? Girlfriend? And? What about it? It's just a title Liz, it's.... Ugh, you're infuriating, you know that? I'm not grumpy, go back to Joe. Oh, it's no Joe? Huh, thought his name was Joe." Yoongi's voice went from calm to irritated to finally chuckling at the end. I didn't want to interrupt him so I stayed 'asleep'. When he had set his phone down and leaned back against the sofa, I cuddled up to him more and let my eyes flutter open.
"Did I wake you?" He asked, brushing my hair out of my face.

"Nope, I was waking up anyway. What time is it?" I asked, sitting up and looking around.

"It's 8:30 pm. You slept quite a bit. Want me to make something for you, or you want take-out?" He asked. I shrugged, not really feeling that hungry.
"How about just a steamed bun then? You need to eat something." He insisted, getting up and going to get me a steamed bun that he'd gotten earlier in the day delivered. He warmed it, and then wrapped it up so I wouldn't burn my fingers while I eat it. I munched away, taking little bites as he let me fall against him again. When I finished the bun, my stomach grumbled a bit... causing me to look up at Yoongi who laughed lightly.

"Ookay... maybe I'm a little hungry." I said as he chuckled a bit more before moving me gently so he could get up.

"Why don't you go shower, get into something more comfy while I make you something more filling, maybe Gimbap?" Yoongi asked.

"I'd like that. Thanks." I replied as I stood up. He walked toward the kitchen and paused, turning to look at me.

"Slices or a roll?" He asked.

"Roll please." I gave him a soft smile as I made my way to our room to grab some clothes. I showered and got into some comfy shorts and one of Yoongi's long t-shirts. I joined him back in the living room where he was setting our food on the coffee table and got our blanket ready to drape over us. I sat down and sure enough, Yoongi draped the blanket over us. We ate peacefully and enjoyed watching some movie on the TV. After that I just wanted to be close to him, to cuddle him and forget about the events of the early morning. I wasn't tires, but I was exhausted mentally from everything.
Yoongi carried me to bed after cleaning up our dinner, he set me down on the bed and helped me under the blankets, then he climbed onto the other side and pulled me to him. I laid there against him, cuddled as he gently rubbed my shoulder and down my arm. He seemed to know that I just needed him to hold me and to not let me go. He was my stabilizer, without him I'd probably be falling apart right now.
He fell asleep before me, but he was trying not to in case I needed anything. It was early morning just before the sunrise that I finally fell asleep.


"You're okay though? Right? Nothing broken?" Liz was a bit frantic.

"I'm okay... it's just.. Taking some time to process." I replied as she embraced me again.

"And you. You've been making sure she rests right? And eats well?" Liz, the overbearing mama bear seemed to be in full force.
"Make sure she takes vitamins too. She needs them." She added.

"Yes, Liz. Yoongi's been taking good care of me, promise." I replied, finally mustering up the words I wanted to say.
"I'll be okay, Liz. It's taking me some time..."

"It's typical to take the time you need. I'm not rushing her, Liz." Yoongi said, knowing Liz would surely scold him unless otherwise stated.

"Good... good. I need my piper back to normal so we can hang out." Liz said with a smile as she hugged me again.

"You're being ridiculous." I smiled softly.
"Yoongi is taking very good care of me, I will be okay. I have Yoongi, you, and Deji.... How is she by the way?" I asked... hoping to change the subject.

"She's fine, she is worried about you but I told her you were fine and that Yoongi here, thankfully, was able to handle the situation. You know you did good too right? Helping those girls, trying to figure out the situation and deal with it." Liz said, maybe she was trying to make me see the good of the whole thing. I didn't need that though, I knew what Yoongi and I did... we prevented those women from being used more and it could have ended much differently if Yoongi wasn't there, if he hadn't been amazing and did what needed to be done.

Liz stayed for the day while Yoongi got some things he needed. By evening, Liz had left and Yoongi had brought back fried chicken and some wine. We ate, I still stuck close to him, he was my safe place and I hope he knew how much I appreciated everything.

"Come on my sleepy girl, time for bed." He chuckled as I threw myself against him more.

"Do we have to?" I asked with a pout.

"I am not in the mood to punish you tonight, love. Let's just go to bed and get a good night's sleep." He replied, kissing me softly as he got up, turned and scooped me up into his arms. He helped me change and when we got into bed, his soft kisses and light touches lit me up with energy. Soft kisses turned to passionate ones, light touches turned into sensual caresses and gentle grips as we lost ourselves in each other. Clothing came off slowly as kisses continued. I gripped his upper arms as he hovered over me and slid himself into, the intense feeling almost overwhelming.

"I love you, Yoongi." I whispered in a heavy breath.

"I love you too." He groaned and pushed into me a little harder. Each thrust brought me closer to climax, and as I got closer, so did he. We came together, kissing passionately before we laid together. Yoongi got up to get a wet cloth to wipe us both clean. After that, we cuddled in each others arms. Yoongi grinned down at me and turned away from me to reach for something on his bedside table. I heard a drawer open and close, and when Yoongi brought his arm back, he held a little dark blue box and opened it for me.
"Marry me Piper?" He asked out of nowhere. I was stunned for a moment, not sure what to say.

"What?" Was all that came out of my mouth.

"Marry Me." He said again with such certainty.

"Yes." I replied. Everything about this was crazy, we weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend... but he wanted me as his wife? So many things went through my head, I didn't know what to think... my only thought was that I loved this man more than anyone else I'd ever thought I loved. Maybe I was crazy for saying yes, crazy for this weird kind of relationship... I was crazy with love for this man and that was the only consistent thing I was sure of.
