The incessant beeping pierced through my sleep. I tried to silence my phone but my arm felt restricted so I couldn't reach it. With my eyes still closed I fumbled about but the sound wasn't coming from my phone.

"What the hell" I whispered with a sore throat. I blinked my eyes open to the harsh light of bright white. I couldn't process anything, I felt heavy, numb but also sore "Ahhh" I groaned in pain trying to sit up

"Babydoll!" I heard but it sounded muffled, like I was underwater "Nurse she's awake!" he yelled out the door then rushed to my side and grabbed my hand

I blinked rapidly again trying to clear my senses finally realizing it was Namjoon and he looked awful. What happened? A nurse runs in a moment later check the monitors first

"Miss Porter, how are you feeling?" She asked with sympathetic eyes

"S-sore" my voice sounded harsh and raw "Am I-" I tried clearing my throat "Am I in the hospital?"

She nodded "Yes you are... the doctor is on his way in. He'll talk to you more. All vitals are good, I'll bring you some ice chips" she smiled warmly at me but her eyes gave me pity

"Babydoll" he softly spoke grabbing my right hand "I'm so happy you're awake" his smile was weak. Even in his sleep deprived and exhausted state he was still the most beautiful man to me. I tried to form a smile on my dry lips

"Joonie" I responded, squeezing his hand "Baby what's going on? How did I get in the hospital? Why am I here"

Namjoon's eyes turned sad, then angry then back to sad. He opened his mouth to speak but the nurse came back in with my ice chips, sitting the cup on the tray in front of my bed then pushed up so that I could reach it. She left and the doctor came in

"Miss Porter, I'm Dr. Yang how are you feeling right now?"

"Sore" I repeated my answer with less scratch in my throat

"Right" he pulls up the nearby stool and sits at my left side "Do you remember anything?"

I try to think but nothing except Lisa's party comes to mind " I was at my friend's going away party and we were dancing and drinking but that's it. How did I get here?"

The doctor nervously looks from me to Namjoon who was bouncing his leg nervously "Miss Porter you were drugged, someone put something in your drink and tried to take advantage of you" he spoke solemnly "Fortunately your fiancé here showed up in the nick of time but the drug was already in your system. It's a popular date rape drug designed to affect the victim's memory"

I must be hearing him wrong... drugged? Raped? That can't be true. No, no he's lying

"Excuse me but what? I-I was drugged! And raped!" My heart beat increased and I felt short of breath. I looked at Namjoon and saw fresh tears on his cheeks "Who?" My vision became blurry as tears leaked from my eyes as well

"A party guest by the name of Park Jae Hyun" Dr. Yang answers looking at his computer "Miss Porter I am really sorry this happened to you... we got the results back from the pregnancy test and it was negative. He didn't get the chance to ejaculate into you based on the rape kit results but we still tested for STDs, those result will comeback in a few days"

I felt weak. I wanted to wake up now. I wanted to wake up from this nightmare but every time I opened my eyes I was still in a hospital bed

"Joonie" I cried with painful chest heaves

"Baby I'm sorry" he apologized grabbing my face "I'm so, so sorry"

"I do want to keep you one more night just for observation Miss Porter. Again I'm truly sorry you went through that". He rose from the wheeled stool and prepared to leave the room but stopped at the door "What I'm about to say was never said" he lowered his voice "RM, I'm glad you did what you did to the little piece of shit. Amielia, this is obviously a terrible situation but this man just risked his career and everything he worked for, for you because he obviously loves you. Please remember that when you guys leave here because you are about to be in for a shit show unlike anything you've even seen. Both of you please take care of each other" he gave us both a warm smile then left.

"This isn't real. This isn't real. Wake up Ami"

"Babydoll I'm sorry" Namjoon says again kissing my face "God I wish I could make this all go away"

"I- Namjoon, why? Why did someone do this to me?" I locked eyes with him and he didn't have an answer. He carefully climbed in the bed with me and held me as I sobbed eventually crying myself to sleep

I woke up safe in Namjoons arms with his snoring directly in my ear. I tried shifting myself so that I wouldn't disturb him but it didn't work. I looked at him to see him looking at me

"Hi my love, how are you feeling?" He tried to smile

"I wanna go home" I answered honestly

"I know you do. The guys are coming up in a little while, they've been worried sick about you" I nodded

"Babe, can you tell me exactly what happened? I-I don't remembered much"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes" I exhaled, laying my hand on his chest feeling his rapid heartbeat. Joon was able to tell me almost everything past what I last remembered happening like me calling him for help before passing out and how he and Jungkook kicked Jae Hyun's ass "Thank you for saving me Namjoon"

"I wish I could've gotten there sooner" he retorted "Lisa is afraid you're mad at her"

"What? Why? It's not her fault. It's not like she knew that fucker was a sick pervert"

"She still feels guilty. I called her to ask her to come see you but she refused, says she can't face you right now"

"Oh no, I'll call her tomorrow when I get home. She has no reason to feel guilty" even in my situation my heart ached for my friend. A light knocking at the door pulled me from my thoughts

"Noona" Jimin sang with a sniffle, his face was red and puffy obviously from crying. He gave me a gentle hug

"Hi Noona" Jungkook spoke from near the door, he looked like he was afraid to come near me

"Hey Chim, Hey Googie" I smiled warmly at them booth "Where is everyone else?"

"There are a million reporters and paparazzi outside, we'll come two at a time to try and reduce attention" Jungkook explained "Ar-Are you okay?"

"I will be"

"Noona I was so worried and scared, I couldn't sleep. I'm sorry"

"Jimin you have nothing to be sorry for sweetie" I kissed his cheek and he backed up wiping his eyes "Jungkook please don't treat me differently, hug me" my eyes glossed over

Although hesitant and stuff he did hug me "Noona..." he broke down in my embrace, my tears had no choice but to fall now

"Bunny, I'm okay because of you. I'm okay because of you and Namjoon"

"To see you like that" he mumbled "I felt so helpless" I rubbed his back as we cried together. Namjoon's hand rubbed my back at the same time and Jimin spread his arms over us both

"We won't stay long so the others can come see you so we'll see you at home tomorrow. We love you" Jimin expressed leaving a sweet kiss on my cheek with his swollen lips

The rest of them came up to see me, all short visits but very much needed and appreciated. Jin and Taehyung bought both of us fresh clothes. I insisted that Joonie go home and get some proper rest but he refused and scolded me for suggesting such a ridiculous thing. Once everyone was gone and the nurse made her round he did go freshen up by washing his face and brushing his teeth then helped me do the same. It was just us two again, snuggled close together in the small hospital bed

"Ami" I hummed in response on the verge of falling asleep again "I love you so much, more than I'll ever be able to express with words and for a brief moment I thought I had to live without you and that scared me more than anything I ever thought could. I'm sorry that I couldn't protect you this time but I swear I will always protect you going forward. I will never let another soul harm you again. I swear on my life" I felt his chest go up and down drastically, I knew he was trying to fight his tears back

"I know you will baby. I know I'm safe with you" I wrapped my arms around his waist and pull us closer together "I love you more"

"Impossible" he slightly chuckled. I buried my face in his shirt leaving kisses on the fabric closet to his heart
