Stay With Us

I opened the door expecting to see the girls. To my surprise it was Minhyuk.

“What do you want Minhyuk?” I asked leaning against the doorway not letting him in.

“I just wanted to check on you. I heard you had an accident today.”

“I’m fine.” I say going to shut the door but was quickly stopped by his hand. “You got your answer. You can leave now.” I say trying to shut the door again.

“Oh come on Maranda. Let’s try to be friends here.” He says with a smirk. “So what, you said no to me hoping to snag an idol?”

“I was with Jimin before I met you.” I say with venom in my voice. “Now you need to leave.”

“No I don’t think I do.” He says pushing the door open and barging in.

“Minhyuk I said leave!” I yell at him.

“Wow even my place looks better than this one.” He says insulting. “What are you going to do Maranda? Your boyfriend and his friends won’t be heading home for another four hours.” He then gets a disgusting grin on his face. “That gives us plenty of time.” He then runs his fingers down my face and I swat him away.

“Minhyuk stop! Is this really because I rejected you?” I yell at him. I just needed to keep him talking till the girls got here.

“No one rejects me Maranda. Some girls just need to be put in their place.” He then pushes me against the wall holding me there by my shoulders.

“Let me go!” I yell at him kicking.

“I have a better idea.” He says before kissing me roughly.

Jiyeon’s POV

“Ji, you have got to get a bigger car or we just need to start taking the bus everywhere. We are tired of sitting on each other.” Bora said from the back seat.

“Feel free to chip in some money and I will get a bigger car. Until then deal with it.” I say laughing at her.

“Hey is that Minhyuk’s car?” Hyosonn asked pointing from the passenger seat.

“Someone call Jimin and V.” I say to them running out of the car with it still running.

I barge into the house being followed by Bora and Eunah. No one was in the living room but there was clearly a struggle. I then hear Maranda yelling. We rush to the bed room seeing him try to throw her on the bed. I jump onto his back trying to stop him. Bora went to check on Maranda and Eunah hit him with the lamp pole.

Jimin’s POV

“Hang on guys I’m getting a call.” V says stopping our practice. He goes over to see who it is and I hear my phone start to ring too. “It’s Hyosonn.”

“Aejung is calling me too.” I say to him. We both answer. “Hello?”

“Jimin! You guys need to come home now!” I hear screaming in the back ground.

“Aejung what’s going on?” I ask concerned.

“Minhyuk is here! Ji and Eunah are trying to fight him off!”

I quickly hang up the phone running over to Jin dragging him out of the door and grabbing his car keys. V stayed on the phone with Hyosonn putting it on speaker. We hear everything that is happening. I don’t think I have ever seen Jin drive that fast. We pull up in front of the house and V and I didn’t even wait for Jin to stop the car before running out.

We both run to Maranda’s room seeing him throw Jiyeon off his back. I go up to him punching him in the face. V charges at him grabbing him and knocking him down before he was able to punch me.

Maranda’s POV

I watch as Jimin and Tae are beating the shit out of Minhyuk. J-hope and Jin both run in grabbing me and the other girls getting us out of the room. I stood frozen still not sure what was fully happening so Jin picked me up carrying me out of the room and placing me on the couch.
I see Rap Mon kneel in front of me saying something but I couldn’t make out what it was.

“Maranda!” He yelled at me finally getting my attention. I snapped out of my daze. “Are you hurt? What happened?”

“I. I was waiting for the girls.” I said trying to remember myself what happened. “I answered the door but it wasn’t them.” I said feeling tears start to form in my eyes.

I then hear Tae start yelling. “Jimin! Stop! He’s done!”

Jin and Suga both run back into the bed room. I see J-Hope was on the phone with the police. Kookie was sitting with the girls trying to calm them down.

“Are you hurt?” Rap Mon asks me getting my attention again.

“I don’t think so.” I then see Jimin run into the room. He comes over to me on the couch and pulls me into his lap. I start fully crying clutching onto him. Tae then comes behind me wrapping his arms around both of us. I feel both of them are out of breath.

We all stayed were we were until the police got there. Jin had locked Minhyuk in my room so he couldn’t try to escape.

They take him out in handcuffs before coming to get statements. They saved me for last so I could calm down more. “Ma’am?” A female officer came over. “I’m officer Yang. Can I ask you a few questions?” She asks me in a soothing tone.

I look over at her wiping away tears then nodding my head.

“Are you ok doing this here or do you want to go somewhere else?”

“No. Right here is fine.” I say to her.

“Ok. Ma’am, I’m going to need you to tell me everything that happened ok?”

“I was sitting on the couch waiting for my friends to get here. I had missed work today because of personal reasons so they were coming to fill me in on what we learned.”

“You’re a backup dancer at BigHit correct?”

“Yes Ma’am. Almost six months now.”

“Is that where you meet your attacker?”

“Yes.” I say wiping more tears from my face. Jimin reaches over grabbing a tissue for me.

“Honey I know this is hard. If you need to stop at any time just say so and we can do this later.”

“No it’s ok.” I say to her wiping my face. “I went over and opened the door thinking it was the girls but it was Minhyuk. He said he came to check on me. I told him I was fine and asked him to leave. He pushed the door open and walked in passed me.”

“So you did not actually let him in the house.”

“No.” I said shaking my head. “I tried to stay calm knowing they were going to be here any minute so I tried to keep him just talking. But it didn’t work. He pushed me against the wall.”

“What happened next?” She asked taking my hands.

“He kissed me.” I felt Jimin tense underneath me. “I tried kicking him but I couldn’t get out of his hold. He finally let go and I tried running but he grabbed me and dragged me to the bedroom. He threw me onto the bed and that was when Jiyeon attacked him.”

“Ok.” She says taking the pad and pen writing down notes. “What happened next?”

“I was frozen. The next thing I remember was Jin picking me up and carrying me out of the room to put me on the couch. Namjoon was trying to talk to me but I didn’t hear what he was saying at first. Then I could start to make out his words. He asked me if I was hurt and what happened.”

“Thank you. You did really good ok? You did everything right. And I can promise you he is never going to bother you again.” She takes my hands in hers again. “We are charging him with five counts of assault and attempted rape.” She pauses for a moment. “Now this does mean you will have to give a statement to the judge. But you have nothing to worry about. He will never be able to do this to you or anyone again.”

I nod my head understanding. She then hands me a card with her name and phone number on it. Her and the rest of the police leave after she finished with me. We all continued to sit around the living room silent.

“Hey girls let’s head out and give Maranda some space.” Jiyeon says standing up. The rest of the girls follow her each hugging me before they leave.

“I’m going to order dinner.” Jin says getting out his phone. “What does everyone want?”

“Chinese.” I say quietly. “This means I can have Chinese now. I haven’t had Chinese in almost six months.” I feel Jimin pull me in tighter.

Everyone else got a puzzled look on their faces but they didn’t say anything. Jin ordered the food the guys all got out money to pitch in. “My wallets over there.” I say pointing to my purse.

“It’s ok Maranda. We got it.” Suga says to me lightly rubbing my shoulder.

“Ok.” I say quietly. Now Jimin knew I wasn’t ok. I would never let anyone pay for me without a huge protest.

I hear my phone ring and see that it is Mr. Kwon. “Hello?”

“Maranda, are you ok?”

“Yeah. I’m ok.”

“I am so sorry for what happened. Obviously he no longer works here. I wanted to let you know that. I also wanted to tell you I’m giving you off the next two weeks. I want you to be fully recovered before coming back to work.”

“Thank you but two weeks isn’t necessary.”

“I insist. Tell Jimin the same goes with him and the rest of the boys.”

“Yes Sir. Thank you.” I say hanging up the phone. “Good news. We are off the next two weeks.”
