"T-t-this pillow is n-nice." Aylin petted a pink pillow. "C-can we g-g-Get I-it?"

"Of course!" Namjoon encouraged, smiling wider while he watched Aylin go on her tiptoes so she could drop the pillow in the cart. Well, the second cart they had to get.

"I-is this too, too m-m-much?" Aylin whispered, getting embarrassed at the two carts.

Jin kneeled down next to her, a gentle smile on his face. "What did you say Aylin? I didn't hear you."

"I-it's t-t-too much." Aylin pointed to the carts. "I, I, d-don't n-n-need it."

Jin hugged Aylin. "Yes you do Sweetheart, you deserve it. You had to live in a very bad place for a long time. We are just giving to you what you missed out on."

Aylin kept hugging Jin, feeling safe and loved in his arms. "C-c-can we always h-h-Hug l-like this, this?"

"As many times as you want." Jin felt his eyes sting as he got emotional. The poor girl has probably never felt love in her whole life.

Jin looked up at a soft smiling Hoseok. Hoseok nodded, seeming to understand Jin's thoughts.

Bangtan has Aylin now. They have someone to care and love for.

Which also means

Aylin has Bangtan now. She has people who will care and love her.

"Hey, lets go find some things to hang up in your room." Jin stood up, holding Aylin's hand. "Does that sound good to you?"

She nodded, a crooked smile on her face.

"Oh I know!" Jimin exclaimed. "We could hang this between shelves and her desk!"

Yoongj tilted his head as he looked at the frame, a painted field of flowers inside . "Yeah that would work."

"Guys," Jungkook spoke from behind them. "I found a unicorn."

Yoongi frowned as he turned around to see Jungkook poke his head over the box he was holding in front of him.

"Woah~" Aylin waddled over to Jungkook. "C-c-cloud too."

"Yeah." Jungkook smiled as he lowered the box to Aylin's sight. "I thought you would like it."

Aylin clenched her fist as she closed her eyes when she smiled, her whole body full of excitement.

Jungkook looked up from Aylin as two of his Hyungs began to argue.

"Pink is her favorite color." Taehyung yanked the white curtains away from Namjoon.

"I know it's her favorite color." Namjoon yanked the curtains back. "You can't have everything pink. You need to have balance."

Aylin retreated into Jungkook's arms, burying her head in his shoulder as his arms instinctively wrapped around her.

Miss Maple's face flashed in Aylin's mind, screaming insults and threats at Aylin as she hit her with a belt, Aylin curled in a corner, crying.

"Hyungs." Jungkook scolded softly, glaring up at the two. "Stop it."

Guilt spread across Namjoon and Taehyung's face like a wildfire.

"Aylin," Namjoon lowered the curtains. "We are so sorry. We forgot about, the, the." Namjoon was at loss for words.

"It's okay Aylin." Jungkook brushed Aylin's hair with his fingertips as she shook slightly in his arms. "You're safe with me. All is well."

Taehyung hit his forehead several times as he walked away, cussing himself out under his breath.

Jungkook moved his eyes over to Jin, signaling Namjoon to go over to him. Namjoon nodded sadly and did as told.

"Aylin, my dear." Jungkook held Aylin's face gently in his hands. "Can you smile for me?"

Aylin sniffed and shook her head no, tears pouring down her face.

"Well of course you can't smile." Jungkook began wiping away Aylin's tears with his thumbs. "You're crying too much." After a few more swipes, Aylin didn't have any more tears on her face. "There, already better." Jungkook smiled slightly.

But Aylin still didn't smile, her ears still ringing with Miss Maple's screams.

Jungkook kissed Aylin's forehead, then her two cheeks, her left first then right. And finished off the kiss galore with one on her little nose.

That finally made her giggle a little bit.

"Aww. I did it!" Jungkook hugged Aylin securely to himself, curling his head over her shoulder.

"Y-you k-k-kissed me!" Aylin giggled, releasing the hug so she could smile and look at Jungkook.

He acted surprised. "I did?!"

She laughed and nodded several times.

"Maybe I did." Jungkook pecked her nose again, then lifted her up in his arms, picking up the box with the unicorn and cloud as well and setting that in the cart.

Jin nodded once with a small smile on his face as Jungkook walked passed him. Jungkook smiled as well.

I'm doing good with the kid.
