"Jimin... please wake up!"

Jimins eyes fluttered open slowly. He felt pain in his back. "Ouch... what happened?" Jimin asked with a raspy voice. "You fell in the shower," Taehyung sighed. "Is your back okay?"

Jimin ignored the question. "Shower? What did I do there?" Jimin didn't remember going back to the shower. "Uhm, well I don't know... we heard a smack and I immediately knew it wasn't right and... I saw you laying there, passed out. You seem fine but..."

Jimin wanted to sit up straight again but quickly layed down again. "Ohh god...," he sighed. "I'm dizzy." Taehyung carefully took Jimin into his arms and lifted him up. Jimin whined as his back hurt, but Taehyung tucked him into bed quickly.

"How are you, Min?" Taehyung asked. "You don't have to be distant..." Jimin sighed. "You're the one distancing from us but... it's understandable." Jimin laid on his stomach. "I feel dirty, used, gross and disgusting and I wanna disappear."

Taehyung sighed and laid down on his back beside his boyfriend. It didn't take long until Taehyung started to sob. Jimin looked up, confused by what was happening. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Everything! We sent you to a therapist that I chose because everyone was positive about her, and she turned out to be a pervert, and she sexually assaulted you. And it's my fault. And you feel like shit. And it's my fault, and I can't do anything to help you." Taehyung rambled on and on until Jimin stopped him with a kiss.

Taehyung widened his eyes as he hadn't expect his upset partner to suddenly kiss him, especially in his situation. Like Taehyung expected, the kiss didn't last too long, and Jimin buried his face in Taehyungs neck.

"I love you." "I love you too."

"Aaaand done!" The makeup artist finished giving Jimins face a touch up. He looked into the mirror.

The boys had promotions in America again, and were about to give a few more interviews, three more to go. He felt miserable though, as everyone knew what happened to him just a few weeks ago. Their manager asked all interviews to be about their music and inspirations and to leave Jimins 'scandal' out.

They were told they were having a break for a few months so they could rest, as they were emotionally and physically exhausted, all getting injuries and going through hard times personally, so the members were exited to go on vacations by theirselves again.

During the interviews Jimin barely replied and just stared into space, even when they talked about exiting topics, such as the vacation they were gonna have.

Taehyung, who sat next to him, put his hand on his lower back, rubbing his thumb over the hoodie he wore, trying to comfort him. Jimin showed him a light smile of thankfulness, but he didn't cheer up, even talking about his fans didn't make him happy now.

"Jimin are you okay?" Namjoon asked when the boys got into the van. Jimin shrugged his shoulders and looked out of the window. Taehyung quickly put his arm around Jimins shoulder, pulling him close.

Jimin swore he could cry his eyes put right now, but he didn't want to, not in front of the others. He decided to just close his eyes and rest his head on Taehyungs chest.

The other members watched him hurtfully, hating their member to feel so awful. Jimin refused to talk to a therapist as he was hurt deeply, firstly about the sasaeng haunting them and now his "therapist" assaulting him, and they recently got to hear that the therapist has possible relations with the sasaeng. It made Jimins head hurt.

He felt a tear rolling down his cheek, and he felt someone wiping it away. He assumed it was Taehyung, as he quietly hummed a song to calm him down. 

"You know what we should do? Karaoke! You love karaoke, right? Jimin?" Jeongguk said happily, doing an attempt to cheer his friend up, but Jimin barely moved. Jeongguk sighed and sat down in his chair again. "It's okay, Guk, just let him be," Hoseok said, realizing the seriousness of his friends situation. Jeongguk nodded and looked out of the window. "Just wanted to help."

The boys reached their hotel and the members gave Jimin their sunglasses, masks and hats, so he would have a little bit of privacy. No one needed to see his puffy face.

The thought was sweet, but in real life it didn't work entirely. It did not take long until the American media started posting articles regarding Jimins "assault scandal", as they called it.

Jimin asked the members and managers to come together in the room he and Taehyung shared. "What do you wanna talk about Min?" "I think I need a break."

"We know, we're all getting one. For the summer, Min, it's gonna be fine," Yoongi told him. He put his hand on his shoulder, trying to comfort him. Jimin shook his head. "I'm so messed up and I don't know how to cheer up. I feel depressed and I don't even get exited anymore... not about anything. I don't wanna sing, I don't wanna dance...," he sighed. "I don't know what's wrong with me."

"Jimin, you're clearly depressed. But we're not psychologists and we can't just help you like that. If you want to overcome it, you need to talk to someone again."

Jimins eyes closed and opened soon again, as he saw his memories of the assault fly by. "No. Never again," Jimin stated, being loud and clear.

"What if I go with you?" Taehyung suggested. "Would you do that?" Jimin asked him. Taehyung nodded. "Anything to make you feel happy again." Jimin said nothing, just embraced Taehyung tightly. "Thank you."

"I'll plan an appointment for you, with mr. Lee, he's at the top, I promise it's gonna be okay," the manager reassured Jimin. Jimin nodded slowly, and sighed. "Recovery day one!" Hoseok exclaimed as he pulled everyone in a group hug.

And as everyone hugged Jimin, he got overwhelmed by the support his friends showed him. And for the first time in weeks, he didn't shed tears of pain, but from happiness. Happiness his friends were supporting him and gonna help him.

Jimin looked over at Taehyung, who gave him a silly boxsmile, causing Jimin to smile back. Again, something he hadn't done in weeks.

Smiling.

He missed that.
