As everyone comes downstairs, it's silent.

As everyone approaches the table, no one said anything. There was a nice breeze out. It was not as cold as yesterday. But the breeze is all you hear as everyone finds their seats. Jin smiles at everyone as he is highly enthusiastic but he knows that it's awkward. The Queen sits on his left. She smiles as she feels a little better from what happened earlier. She felt guilty because she had put everyone she loved in danger as well as herself.

However, she was comforted that everything will be okay. That thankfully she can sit here with everyone she loves. She grabs Jin's hand and caresses it, smiling at him. Jin grabs her hand and whispers that he loves her and she blushes saying it in return.

They look at their friends who are quietly getting their food. Esther grabs her food and her husband's food. After everyone got their food, Jin claps for one of the servants to come here.

"Yes, my King."

"Please bring out my life source."

The servant immediately went to get the King's book, as it was the Holy Scriptures. 2 minutes later, he handed the king the book and bowed. The King says thank you as the servant leaves.

The King read Matthews as it speaks of the Lord's Prayer. After that, all grabbed each other's hands as they prayed the Lord's Prayer in unison. When they were done, they started eating.

The King and Queen were chuckling and conversing amongst themselves. However, the King notices that all weren't speaking. Then he mouthed to his wife that he would text her. She nodded and put her phone on silent.

Jin calls Esther 'My Love ❤️' and Esther calls Jin 'My Baby 😻❤️'

My Love ❤️

They glare at each other as they are speaking without saying. They put their phones away as it is rude to text while at a table with others. But knew they had to at that moment.

Esther turns to look at everyone as they are eating. She knew it was time to say something.

"Guys."

Everyone turns to listen to Esther. Jin glares at everyone then also turns to Esther.

"I know this is hard for all of us. I know we had a rough night and morning. Y'all could have lost me."

Hannah, who sat next to Esther, grabbed her arm as she spoke.

"However, I was protected by God. Guys, please know that in time we will get through this. No one can take us from each other. It's a reason we are still together and no matter what evil tries to do. No matter what the devil plots, God will keep us. He always wins. So, please don't hold on to yesterday or this morning. Let's rejoice and be grateful that we are all still together."

Everyone took in the words Esther was saying.

"Also, my wife loves you guys so let's move forward for her too. If she can, then I know y'all can." Jin glares at everyone as they continue listening to him. "I love my bros and I only want what's best for them. I love you ladies and only want what's best for y'all. So I need to say this but please know it's not to make anything awkward but to heal and give y'all the happiness y'all need."

Esther tapped Jin's arm as he glimpses at her, while she turns her head to the girls. "Before my husband says what is needed to be said, I wasn't able to tell the guys last night about what happened. I think they have a right to know."

The girls gazed at each other as all the girls veered to Leah. Eve, who sat next to Leah, held her hand. Leah gleams a bit at her and looks down.

"We were able to get in contact with Jacob. However, a girl answered the phone." Eve continually grabbed her hand as Leah spoke.

"She was either drunk or high. I'm not completely sure but"

Leah stopped and gulped. She gripped Eve's hand tighter, trying to hold back her tears.

"The girl's name was Nia. She is Rachel's friend and coworker. I had met her a year ago. Sh-sh-"

Leah took a deep gust as a tear came down. Eve's tears started flowing but she nevertheless held on to Leah's hand.

The guys stare at them with expectation but hurt in their eyes. Jungkook balled his fist as Jimin put his arm around Jungkook to calm him down.

"She was laughing a lot. And at first, it sounded like it was just her. Then she started to explain what Jacob and Jacob's brother were doing. We didn't know until later the reason why we couldn't hear anyone because she was in the living room which didn't make sense. Then she went to the basement and we heard laughter and people talking. Then she explained that his brother was recording 'nasty' stuff Jacob and Adam were doing. They-"

She closes her eyes, as tears kept flowing.

The girls looked down, still shaken as the guys stared at Leah with widen eyes, stunned and angry. Esther grabbed Jin's hand as Jin had his fist balled. Yoongi rolled his eyes, mumbling something. Hobi gripped his fork hard. Tae stared at Rahab angrily as Rahab caught on his intention. He was rey to fight. Namjoon stayed calm although he was losing his mind.

"So yeah that's what happened."

Eve let go of her hand and spoke, "I didn't think Adam would do that to me. Again...But I guess I was wrong. I believed it because after that the girls and I heard Adam and Jacob's voices clear as day. I don't blame Leah for this and I still love my sister. We both just looked like fools in the end. But we would never think it would be in the hands of the same person."

Eve and Leah got quiet, not knowing what else to say. Jungkook closed his eyes, anger prevalent in his countenance. He had his fist balled still. Jimin froze in anger. Jimin slowly let go of Jungkook as he stood up.

Everyone instantly got out of their stupor and turned to Jimin, who had a frightening look on his face as he walked out. Jungkook harshly got up and walked with him, saying nothing. Jin quickly was getting up until he stopped by Namjoon.

"Yoongi and I got this."

Namjoon and Yoongi hurried to Jungkook and Jimin.

Jin stood still as he gracefully turned to Leah and Eve's direction. They were crying.

"Ladies. I am so sorry. We are all so sorry that you had to go through this. We are with you every step of the way. If a King got to put his hands on some people, then by all means I will. I know I'm not supposed to do that but... Anyway, we are here for you. Jungkook and Jimin love you both dearly and they don't play about y'all. So do all of us. We got y'all and God is with y'all."

As Jin was talking to them, Hobi and Tae stepped out to check on the guys. Leah and Eve let out a forceful smile as the girls stared at Jin, smiling a bit.

"I wanted so bad last night to two-piece Rachel man. Ruth held me back." Rahab blurted out. Ruth chuckled at that.

"GIRL I was ready to join you." Hannah stated.

"I understand." Jin agreed sitting back down.

"I don't want my sisters or you Jin to have jail time. But, don't get me wrong now. I am pissed too. I'm simmering down for everyone's sake." Ruth drinks her orange juice.

All of a sudden, the ladies and Jin heard yelling. The girls were getting up until Jin said it's okay. The girls hesitantly sat back down.

"Let's be patient. They'll come back."

Everyone quietly waited for the guys to come back.

11 minutes later, the guys came back to the dining room. Jungkook and Jimin sat back in their seat, zoning out from everyone. The guys sat down as Namjoon peered over at Kook and Chim.

"I'm sorry everyone. We are all very angry at what happened to Leah and Eve. Both of you didn't deserve that and although most of us, especially the two, want to teach those little boys a lesson, we can't do that to yall. As Esther said, we have to stick together and love each other to help us all get through this."

Jin called one of his servants to get Taylor. A minute later, Taylor came in, with annoyance written all over her face. Taylor is upset about everything that happened with Shara. After hearing what happened to Leah and Eve, she didn't feel any better. Jin told Taylor to sit. Taylor sat next to Eve as Eve whispered something to her that made Taylor chuckle. Yoongi smirked a bit, staring at her. Taylor caught Yoongi staring but made sure not to look his way to avoid feeling flustered.

Jin glares at Jungkook and Jimin, who sat next to each other. They stared back at Jin. Suddenly, they widen their eyes at him, knowing what he's about to say.

"Leah. Eve." They turn to Jin.

"I believe Jungkook and Jimin need to talk to you both. And you guys are not running away from it. So when we are finished brunch, I expect you Kook and Jimin to talk to them."

Jin gives them the look as Jungkook and Jimin stare at him, in nervousness.

Leah and Eve stare at Jungkook and Jimin as they stare back.

"Well, that shouldn't be hard, huh?"

Everyone starts slowly laughing at Rebecca's comment. Rebecca continually makes jokes while everyone laughs. Soon, everyone starts comfortably chatting with each other.

Jin scans at everyone and smiles.

20 minutes later, brunch was over and everyone just sat around talking and laughing about memes they saw on Twitter, especially some of the comments made about the 'cat and woman meme'.

Jin texts Jungkook and Jimin, while everyone was laughing.

Jungkook and Jimin's phones vibrate as they stare at the text they saw.

Jimin glances at Jungkook and Jungkook did also.

"We can do this bro."

Jungkook nods his head at Jimin then stares at Leah.

I can do this.

"Eve." Jimin boldly says. Eve nervously peeks at him.

"Let's talk."

Eve nods at him. Jimin asked if she wanted to talk at the pool area. She nodded again. Jimin and Eve got up at the same time and left. Everyone was laughing at the meme still.

Jungkook looked around the room and took a deep breath.

"Leah."

Leah stares at Jungkook. "Yes."

Everyone stopped laughing and peered their eyes to them. They noticed Jimin was gone and so was Eve.

"We need to talk."

Leah nodded as she turned to the side door and got up. She walked out the side door to the terrace as Jungkook was getting up. Jin smiles at him. Jin was pumped for his bros. Jungkook nods at Jin then walk out to the terrace.

Eve stared at the pool as Jimin stood next to her.

Time passing by. The still water in place. The wind blowing. The clouds forming as it slowly formulates a grey sky. The security guards walking to and fro.

They didn't say anything for a while until Jimin grabbed her and pulled her in for a hug. Eve hugs him back tightly.

"You tried to tell me and I didn't listen. You tried to warn me and I was defending him." Eve gripped him lightly as Jimin listened to her.

"I truly thought he could never do that me. He already did it before so I thought he would learn."

"But...I saw the signs. I saw how he would look at other girls. I saw how he would stare at Leah's sister when we went over their house. I ignored it. I ignored it all because I still believe he loved me."

"I believed him."

"But through that, I was avoiding who truly loved me and cared about me. I ran away from you because..."

Eve let him go and turned away from him then, she walked away from him. She stopped unknowingly and rested her tense shoulders.

"Because it was real."

"Everything you did, said, and didn't say, it was all real. I think it was too real. That night stayed on my mind even when I accepted Adam back. I never felt more loved. Although it was wrong, it's the fact that you never tried to do that again showed me the man you really are. Sadly, I-I didn't see that in my husband so I ran away from you. Scared that I was wrong. That the feeling of butterflies was deceiving me. They suppose to flutter for Adam, not for you. And now I know I truly was wrong." Eve stared out to the sky as silence hit both of them.

"We will get through this together, beautiful." Eve stood still as she heard footsteps slowly approaching her. She started to flinch and twitch a bit in nervousness. She was trying to control her body that wanted to do so many things. She was trying to prevent her staggered heart beatings that belted out for this man only and truly.

She felt warmth as arms wrapped around her from the back and a chin laid on her shoulder. She felt...

Safe.

Protected.

Wanted.

Loved.

And at the moment, nothing else mattered. The only thing that mattered was him.

"I'm not letting you go this time, babe. But you can't run from me anymore. You can't confine because you are scared for better. You can't continue breaking your own heart when God is trying to tell you to let it go."

Jimin holds her tighter and kisses her cheek.

"I'm not letting you go and I will be by your side until you are ready for me. For us."

"I love you, Eve."

Eve closes her eyes taking in such precious words that are like honey. Sweet and lasting. She puffed out a breath as she holds the tender and fascinating hands that are wielding her.

"Okay. I won't run this time Jimin. Not this time."

I love you too.

Jimin smiles as Eve giggles. "I can't kiss you right now but I'll be able to soon, my baby."

Eve snickers and flushes at his words as they hold each other. Jimin can't describe the happiness he feels. It's like fireworks are going off inside of him. It's like seeing a chicken box on sale. It's like knowing God is with you. It's like seeing his brothers happy. It's like realizing how blessed he truly is. All of that at once.

Jimin just hopes his brother gets to feel the same thing.
