You call out for Kook as you walk into the dorm the next day, not hearing a reply you wander through the main area to his bedroom door, knocking before finally hearing him calling for you to enter. "Hey Bun, the agent got a hold of me to look at those condos. He has time on Friday if you don't have anything scheduled do you want to go with me?"

He scrolls through his phone, looking at it intently before nodding. "Yeah, Friday is good for me. What time?"

"Weeeell showings can take a while, so a couple of hours maybe? There are only three I'm really interested in looking at, and they are in roughly the same area so it might not take as long as normal."

"What might not take as long as normal?" Jin asks from the doorway, a basket of clothes in his arms. He must have been walking by and overheard the conversation.

"Looking at those condos Friday. Bun said his schedule is free so he can go with me. Um.. would you wanna go too? You were a big help when we were looking at the listings." Your bottom lip pokes out a little bit, trying to guilt him into going too.

"Aww princess I would but I have a schedule on Friday. I think the rap line is free though."

"Oh. Ah, no that's ok. I wouldn't want to burden them or anything."

"Nonsense." Next thing you know Jin is hollering down the hallway for Joonie, Yoongi, and Hobi. All three of them answering his yell and coming to stand in Kooks doorway with him. "So princess and Kook are going Friday to look at the condo listings, which one of you are going with them?"

"Seriously Jin, no one else has to go. Bun and I will be fine on our own. Bun tell them." You turn only to see him ignoring you and playing games on his phone. You stomp your foot and turn back to the four in the doorway, "Seriously guys, no one has to go out of their way to go with us."

Hobi gives you a big pout, sadness in his eyes, "Namjoon and I were planning to work on melodies. Sorry, Nascha."

"Hobi Hobi it's fine. I don't expect anyone else to go, seriously."

"You were just going to sleep the day away Yoongs, why don't you go with them." Namjoon looks over at Yoongi, outing him for having no plans.

"Ugh, what part of no one else needs to go are you guys not getting?"

"I could look at condos. It would be something different. Plus Jimin said he had a lot of fun helping Nascha with listings last night." Yoongi answers back.

"Grrrrr. If you guys are going to ignore me let me out so I can go to my room. I have work to do." You start to walk out but are blocked by all the bodies in the way. Looking up at Yoongi and uttering a soft excuse me, you wait until he moves enough to let you pass. You get settled on your bed, laptop nestled on a pillow on your lap, files, and papers spread around you when you hear a knock on your door. Telling them to come on in you see Jin and Jimin walk in. Jin settles in the desk chair while Jimin curls up on the bench at the end of your bed.

"I'm sorry princess. Please don't be mad at me." Jin pleads, poking his lips into a beautiful full pout, making you smile a bit.

You set the papers down with a sigh, looking from Jimin to Jin. "I'm not mad. I'm just tired of everyone being so over-protective of me. I'm trying so hard to get back to normal."

The fact that there was no puzzled look on Jin's face lets you know Kook has said something to him, Jimin, however, looked adorably confused. "I'm not trying to be overprotective Princess, I just know Yoongi is good at negotiating and Namjoon is like you, he knows the housing market and what is fair and what's not. Kook is just Kook, he's probably going to protect you."

"I'm so confused, why would everyone be overprotective?" Jimin asks, grabbing the Shooky stuffy that was laying at the foot of the bed near him.

"Ugh ok, I guess it's only fair that you know since I'm staying here. And evidently Bunny has already told Jin, but I'd rather it not get to the others unless I start getting panic attacks. Three years ago I was sexually assaulted by someone I had considered a friend for almost all my life. Being so close I thought nothing of him staying the night, it had happened countless times before so to me it wasn't a big deal." You looked down blankly at the papers on your lap, moving them aside as Jimin handed you the Shooky plushy instead, having a feeling you were going to need it to get through this explanation. "I fell asleep since I had to work the next morning, but after probably an hour, I woke up to him... doing things to me. I flat out asked him what the hell he thought he was doing and made him leave. Then I sat there crying calling my best friend Kenna. I thought she would be there for me, but no, she basically said I had no reason to be upset because he and I had done stuff before. Two days later I was talking to another friend I had recently gotten back in touch with from school, and she brought his name up about a similar incident she had heard about so I told her everything. She urged me to go out to the hospital to have a rape kit done, even met me out there. 11:30 at night and she told her husband she had somewhere important to be, left him in bed to go out there for me."

"Jesus Princess. Kook didn't tell me all this. I had an idea. I just thought he was being a typical overprotective brother." Jin moves to sit beside you on the bed, softly rubbing your back while you squish Shooky in your arms."

"That's not even all of it. I told eomma the next morning, along with Bun, who thankfully was right there to support me. Since I had already been out to the hospital and had a rape kit done, it was out of my hands on pressing charges. Heh, and let me tell you, a rape kit is just as degrading and embarrassing as the sexual assault itself. I was questioned by a detective, who had the nerve during the interview to state that 'Maybe he did it because he had a lot going on'. Like no, I don't care if you have a lot going on, there is no right to do that to another human. It took two months for the cops to even track him down, even though I told them the building he lived in AND his workplace. Another 4 months before he even made it to a hearing. This whole time I'm dealing with the trauma going on inside my head from everything that happened. Three days after the initial assault I sat on the kitchen floor crying with a knife in my hand. I don't know how people slit their wrists, maybe the knife wasn't sharp enough, or maybe I wasn't pressing very hard, but damn it hurt." You absently rub at the tattoo now covering that wrist, still thinking about that night on the floor and everything that had been running through your head. 

"Noona, you don't have to finish this if you don't want to." Jimin sadly exclaims. You look up and can see the hurt and dread on his face, his normally smiling lips turned down in a frown and tears glistening in his eyes.

"It's ok Jiminie. I've already made it this far. All this went down on September 24th. Towards mid-July, my lawyer got a hold of me and told me his lawyer wanted to give a plea deal and told me what it was. Basically, instead of it going to court and him possibly getting off, he would plead guilty to a felony in the third degree. He wouldn't have to register as a sex offender, but he would at least have a felony on his record. She urged me to take the time to think about it since it was such a big decision. And I did. I came home, spoke it over with eomma, and decided that I couldn't keep fighting. So after about a week I called the lawyer back and said I accepted it. The hearing was September 15th, so this had been going on for literally almost a year. The judge let him speak and he gave some bullshit speech about how he knows he did wrong and he had time to think about the bad decisions that he's made, blah blah. The judge gave him three years probation. If he spoke about the case at all, including on social media, had any contact with me, or violated his probation in any way he would go to jail for 18 months. It's been two years, he gets off probation on September 19th of this year. That's part of the reason I moved to Seoul. I needed to get away, try to start over. Plus I knew I had Bunny here." You leaned over, resting your head on Jins surprisingly comfortable shoulder, looking at Jimin in time to see him quietly wipe tears from his eyes. "There are times I regret taking the plea deal. I know I was so tired of fighting but if it had gone to trial at least people would KNOW, you know? It would have gotten out what he did, instead, it almost feels like it got swept under the rug. I'm the only one who has to deal with it. In a few more months his probation will be over and his life will go back to normal while mine never will."

"That's why the security is so important in the places you're looking at." 

You nod silently at what Jin just said. "I know you guys are gone a lot, so security in a building is probably the highest priority on my list. I'd rather have a safe small apartment than a huge one in a bad part of town, or one that doesn't have security in the building. Oh, by the way, thank you Jimin for leaving me a stuffy when you decorated the room."

"I'd love to take credit for that Noona, but it wasn't me. It was probably Kook if he knows you sleep with one. Question though, do you still talk to Kenna?"

"Actually it was Yoongi. I saw him walk in here with it the night before you got here. Didn't want to say anything, figured it was his present to you for staying here. Sweet though. He has this quiet way of taking care of everyone, so it's not very surprising actually." Jin rubs your back a bit more before you raise your head, nodding a bit and hugging Shooky tighter.

"I'll make sure to thank him when I see him next. But can we keep this whole thing between us guys? I did the whole therapist thing, and I got on meds because of the depression. I just sort of want to try and get back to normal. And no Jimin, after basically telling me that I would be ruining his life by pressing charges, I didn't see the need to keep being friends with her."

"We can, as long as things don't start affecting you. If they get worse, we're telling the others."

"Yes, Eomma Jin." You give him a small smirk, letting him know you're ok. 

"We'll let you get back to work. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for forcing someone else to go with you Friday." Jin stands up, reaching for Jimin and they quietly leave the room, letting you get back to your thoughts and hopefully, get back to work.
