Victoria drove my car back to Taylor's house while Taylor drove me to her place in her car.

I still couldn't believe that out of everyone, Kim Taehyung was the one who saw Justin hit me. It just seems surreal to me.

"Hey, you okay?" Taylor asked me. "Y-yeah, I'm fine." I said.

She sighed. "Sel, why didn't you tell us? And why didn't you get away from him? You don't let a man hit you." she said. "I-I tried to! But he would always find me! And on top of that, I still love him. I couldn't tell you guys because he would be mad..." I said.

"Do you love him? Or the memories you two had together?" she suddenly asked, making me think for a while.

"Selena, I'm here for you. Please know that. We're best friends." she said. "Okay... I'm sorry, Taylor." I apologized. "Don't apologize!" she said, making me laugh.

Soon, she pulled up into her driveway, the gate automatically closing behind us.

Victoria pulled up soon after, getting out of the car along with us.

She walked up to me and pulled me into a hug. "Sel, we're here for you, okay?" she said and I nodded. "Please, call me if you need anything." she said and I nodded, hugging her.

Victoria called an Uber and once it pulled up, she smiled and waved goodbye. "Call me!" she said and then left.

I then walked into Taylor's house behind her and she showed me to one of her guest rooms.

"Woah, Taylor! It's beautiful." I smiled. "It is, isn't it?" she smiled and handed me some clothes.

"Here, you left these from our last sleepover. You can wear them until we go shopping and can actually go back into your house to get your things." she said and I nodded.

"Thank you, Taylor." I said. "Hey! Don't thank me. This is what best friends should do." she said, pointing her finger at me and having a serious face.

I nodded, laughing and she then walked to the door. "Tell me if you need anything." she said and I nodded.

She then shut the door and I sighed, going to change into my pajamas I left at her house.

But when I began to change my pants, I felt something in the left pocket. I furrowed my eyebrows, reaching into the pocket.

When I pulled it out, it was a slip of paper. I opened it, seeing writing on it.

Text me (phone number)

-Taehyung :)

I unknowingly smiled at the piece of paper as I finish changing. I then sat on the beautiful canopy bed.

I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and opened it, going to text Taehyung.

Selena: hey, is this taehyung?

Taehyung: yep. is this selena?

Selena: yeah! you wrote on a piece of paper for me to text you? lol

Taehyung: yeah, I figured you would maybe want some friends bc of what happened?

Selena: actually, that'd be nice. I pretty much only have Taylor and Victoria.

Taehyung: sounds good. do you want to meet at xxxx coffee shop tmrw? :)

Selena: that's perfect. what time?

Taehyung: we're in America for a little bit longer, our last location is actually LA. we're here for a little bit longer to do some interviews, so about a week. anyways, is 10 AM okay with you?

Selena: I'll be there!

Taehyung: kk. goodnight

Selena: goodnight

I then smiled, saving Taehyung as a contact and going under the bed covers as I turn off the lamp.

I then closed my eyes, falling asleep.

I got finished texting Selena with blush creeping up on my face.

All of a sudden, Jimin walked in. "Tae, can I borrow-" he said, but stopped when he saw me blushing at my phone.

He smirked and jumped on my bed. "Who ya texting?" he asked. "N-no one!" I said, accidentally stuttering. "Sureeee." he smirked, peeping at my phone.

"Ooooh, it's Selena." he said, getting up and making kissy faces. "YAH! Stop!" I yelled, throwing a pillow at him.

"I knew you had a thing for her!" Jimin laughed. "I don't! I just figured she could use a friend after what happened." I said. "Sure, just a 'friend'." he said, quotating "friend" with his fingers. "I mean it, Jimin!" I groaned.

"Okay, okay. I just wanted to borrow something. I'll return it tomorrow." he said and grabbed what he needed and left.

I sighed, rubbing my heated face with my hands.

I then turned off all the lights and got under the covers.

I sighed. What if Jimin is right? But not now. I need to control my crush because she doesn't need any of that right now.

I woke up, checking the time that read 8:23 AM. I remembered that I had to go to the cafe with Taehyung today so I got up and got ready.

I brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, got dressed, and put on some light makeup, just a little bit of eyeliner and mascara along with some light lipstick.

I then looked in the mirror to make sure I looked okay and walked out of the room and downstairs to be met by Taylor.

"Selena? Where are you going?" she asked. "Oh, sorry, Taylor. Taehyung asked me to meet him at a cafe." I said. "Are you sure you want to go?" she asked. "Of course. It's not a date or anything, it's fine." I said and told her goodbye.

I then got in my car and drove to the cafe he was talking about. I grabbed the hat I brought with me to cover my face so no one would know it's me. Especially because I don't want any dating rumors to spread. I'm sure Taehyung did the same thing.

I then walked in and looked around and my eyes met someone's. I then looked and it was indeed Taehyung. I smiled and walked over to him, sitting in front of him.

He was wearing a hat as well and he smiled once he saw me. "Hi." I said. "Hey. I just wanted to apologize if what I did came across as creepy to you." he said.

"No, not at all. Actually, I'm kind of glad you did do it. I could use another friend." I told him. "Oh, well, I'm glad. I thought about it for a while and thought it was kind of creepy for me to do." he laughed. I then laughed too.

"Oh, and... I don't really think I've introduced myself properly. You probably know who I am at this point, but I'm Taehyung." he said and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Taehyung. And you already know who I am as well, but I'm Selena." I smiled.

Suddenly, the waiter come to our table. "Hello, what would you like to order?" the waiter asked, pulling out a pen and paper.

"A vanilla iced coffee please and a cinnamon roll." I said and he nodded. "And you, sir?" he asked Taehyung.

"A tea and I'll also have a cinnamon roll." he said and the waiter nodded. "I'll bring it out to you shortly." he smiled and walked away.

"So your friend, Victoria, told me about you actually being a fan of us?" Taehyung said, staring into my eyes.

"Yeah, I mean, I wish I could've actually met you guys sooner, of course the way we did meet was, well, not expected. And yes, I would consider myself a fan of you guys." I giggled at the end and I swore his eyes lit up for a second.

"Woah... that's really cool. It's just, I've been a fan of you for so long. It's been my dream to meet you." he smiled and I smiled back. "Well, I'm glad we can be friends now. I'd love to get to know you better." I said and he nodded.

"I'd love that, too. Would you like to go for a walk with me? I saw a park just near here. It's not too far away." he said and I nodded. "That'd be good." I said and soon, our food came and we ate.

After we were done eating, we talked a bit about our interests and hobbies. I learned that Taehyung loves art, just like me.

We then paid and left the cafe. "Look, it's just there." he said and pointed. "Let's go, then." I said and he nodded. We walked together and talked the whole way. Talking to him just seemed so natural.

"By the way, you can call me Tae... if you want." he said. "Okay, Tae. And you can call me Sel if you want." I said and smiled at him. He then smiled back. "Got it, Sel." he giggled and we then sat on a bench.

"Hey, Sel, I have a question. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, though." he said and I nodded. "How long has Justin been doing this to you?" he asked and I sighed.

"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't of asked you that." he said and I looked at him. "No, it's okay. If I were in your shoes I would ask the same thing." I said and he nodded.

"He started seven years ago. He began cheating on me, and he made me believe that I wasn't good enough. At first, our relationship was perfect. We would be together all the time, supporting each other's career, being there for each other. But, he just stopped. Verbal and emotional abuse turned into physical and well, it only got worse." I explained and he teared up a bit by my explanation.

"Well, know that I'm here for you. You didn't deserve that. And don't believe any bad things he told you, because none of it is true. He's trying to bring you down." he said and I nodded, tearing up a little.

Suddenly, he pulled me in for a hug. "Hey, don't cry." he said and tears began flowing down my cheeks, wetting his shirt. He only hugged me tighter, comforting me by rubbing my back. "You're okay now." he whispered.

We then pulled away from the hug and I wiped my tears with my sleeve. "Sorry, I wet your shirt a little." I said and he laughed. "It's fine." he said and we then stood up.

"Let's finish the walk, okay?" he said and I nodded, walking side by side with him.

"You know, there's a pond here somewhere, do you want to go?" he asked me. "Yeah, that sounds good." I smiled and we continued walking.

We then made our way to the pond, it looked beautiful out.

I stood over the little bridge, staring out at the pond, smiling. It looked so peaceful.

Then, Taehyung came up beside her. He smiled, staring at Selena's side profile. She was gorgeous.

"Selena?" he called my name and I hummed in response. "Do you want to spend the rest of the day with me? I don't have anything to do, and, well... I'd like to get to know you more." he said and I looked at him.

"Yeah, I'd love to." I smiled and he smiled back.
