-Hoseok, is that you?

Juli whispered. She knew it was Hoseok since there was no one around and besides He told her that he would leave shortly after she leave. So, it must be Hoseok. Two large and strong hands held her hand gently as if scared that those hands of him might squeeze her soft little hands and the owner of the hands didn't want it to happen. And then he asked her,

-Are you alright, my love?

The owner of those hands asked her.

-My love?

Juli whispered and then she realized it was not Hoseok. Because Hoseok calls her Mrs.Kim and he would never call her 'My Love'. So that only means...

-Taehyung?

Juli whispered. And after a few moments, she screamed feeling an immense pain on her wrist.

-What happened?

-My wrist... it's hurting.

Tae felt something like part of bangles  in her wrist and something wet and sticky. Probably her wrist was bleeding. And it happened because those men grabbed her hands tightly and when she tried to escape their grip, her bangles broke and a piece was being stitched in her wrist.

-You're bleeding?

Then Tae glanced at the whole gang and screamed making everyone of them flinched.

-HOW DARE YOU HURTING HER? I'M GONNA KILL YOU ALL.

But before he could beat them up, Juli stopped him.

-It's okay, Taehyung. Let's get out of here.

-They hurt you... and you?

Veins under the skin of his nech were visible now. Juli never seen him getting angry. He's like a cool type of boy. He doesn't get angry at anything. Even Lisa had insulted him a lot but he never got angry.

-It's okay. Let's go now.

Taehyung stared at her for some time and then he started walking holding her hand. Juli glanced at the gang for the last time and the only thing she found was hatred and jealousy in their eyes. Jackson however was glaring at her with fiery eyes. She averted her gaze and glanced at Tae who was walking fast now. And in a few minutes, he brought her to a home that looked like this :

-Get inside.

Tae told her. She did as he told her. He let her sit on a chair and he sat down on his knees and glanced at her wounded wrist. A piece of broken bangles was being stitched in her wrist and her wrist was still bleeding.

-Shit!!! You wait here.

Saying that, he got up and hurriedly  walked towards a room. And when he returned, she saw a first aid box in his hand. Tae at first pulled the piece of bangles out of her wrist very carefully. But it was hurting so much and Juli was crying too.
Tae quickly brought out some medicines from the box and started to clean the bloods using soft cotton. And then he applied some ointment on her wounded wrist and covered the wounded area using bandages.

-Thank you.

-Hmm...

He just hummed in response as if he didn't want to hear someone thanking him.

-Taehyung?

Juli called him.

-Hmm?

He glanced at her.

-Who else live here with you?

-Only me. I do have an uncle but he doesn't come here too often. So, you can stay here at night.

Wait... what? Did he just ask her to stay here?? with him??? With a cruel, heartless playboy like him who flirts with her???!!!

-Impossible!

-Don't say that. Because I know you don't have any place to go now. So, just stay here. And don't worry, you can stay here in my room and I'll sleep in my uncle's room.

Taehyung was about to leave the room and suddenly Juli stopped him.

-Wait...

Juli turned around and asked him furrowing her eyebrows.

-What did you just say?

-It's late now. Get some sleep and we'll talk about this later.

Saying that, he stepped out of the room. Juli was staring at the door. What did he mean by that? How did he know that Juli didn't have any place to go now?

She glanced at the room. It wasn't well decorated but it was organized. Everything was in its place and it seemed no one ever touched anything of this room. But the room was neat and clean as well. That only means that Taehyung loves everything to be organized.

Juli sat on the bed covered with black bed cover and a black blanket. She lay down and she was thinking of her children and what they did to her. Tears welled up in her eyes. She closed her eyes and tears were rolling down her cheeks. After some time, she fell asleep.

In the other room.
Taehyung was trying to sleep but failed. So he got up from the bed and headed towards the kitchen to drink water. He took a glass and poured some water in it and started drinking it. Then he headed towards his uncle's room where he was supposed to sleep but suddenly, he stopped and after thinking for a while, he stepped into his own room where Juli was sleeping. He entered the room and without making any sound, he went to the bed where Juli was lying down. He saw her shivering in cold. So he covered her with the blanket. She moved a little bit and that was when Tae froze in his place thinking that Juli might scream if she saw him in this room. But nothing like this happened. Juli pulled the blanket closer to her face and fell asleep again. Tae sighed in relief.

Then, he stepped out of the room and closed the door. He went to his uncle's room and lay down on the bed. He put his head over his hand and he was thinking in his own mind of how he got to know what happened to Juli.

**Flashback

A boy was running so fast. A car was almost about to crush in order to save him, but he didn't care. He started running again. The man sitting in the driving sit, was saying something raising his hands. Probably scolding the boy. But the boy didn't have time to listen. It was none other than Taehyung. He was going to meet his best friend.
And within a minute, he reached the main door of Juli's house and pressed the doorbell. He was breathing unevenly since he came here running so fast. He came here to give Jungkook a notebook and to check if he was alright or not since Jungkook didn't attend the classes today. Jungkook never skips classes so Tae thought he was sick and decided to check on him. It was 2:00 pm so Lisa was not yet home. And this was the perfect time to meet his best friend.

Tae pressed the doorbell again but nobody came. He became worried. So he quickly climbed up the boundary wall that lead him directly to Jungkook's room and started walking over there until he reached the room. He found the window open and through it, he could hear some piano music. Tae smirked.

-Ohh so, Mr.Bunny is playing piano, huh?

But he couldn't see Jungkook in his room. He placed his hands on his waist.

-Where is he?

He started following the piano music. He came downstairs and went towards the music room. Tae knows that there is a music room here in Jungkook's home. He headed towards the room and was about to open the door when he heard Jungkook singing a song that he started writing a few months ago. Tae didn't know he completed the song. He came closer to the door and listened to the song.

PLEASE, PLAY THE VIDEO...😊😊

When I see you smile in the screen,
You're good at everything,
You're just perfect,
Feels like I've never been you.
Do you even see me?
Do you know who I am?
Or how do I look now?
You don't like me like that.
Come and tell me so much, beautiful heart
Ohh I'm gonna listen to you, please~
All the numbers too big.
Can't get out of your game.
Ohh I wanna paint it like you, please~

Jungkook stopped for a moment.
Tae glanced at the door and suddenly he heard Jungkook sobbing. And then , again he started singing but his voice cracked. Tae could feel that Jungkook was singing this song with sorrow and pain in his heart. But why?

Jungkook continued to sing.

I want to be your decalcomania
I want you~
I want to be your decalcomania
I want~

He stopped for a moment and then he sang the last line and when he sang, it felt like he put all his emotions, sorrows in that line and pleading someone to understand what he was going through.

I want you~~

After that, loud sobs were heard from inside the room. Tae was about to open the door but again, stopped when he heard Jungkook.

-Why, mom? What was the need to do that? Why didn't you say that you didn't do it? Why, mom? Why?

Jungkook was crying mess. Tae's eyebrows furrowed.

-Look, what you made me to do with you. You made me this, the bunny of yours into an evil one.

Again Tae heard him sobbing. His jaw clenched.

-I want to be that cute little bunny of yours, mom. Come back, please.

Jungkook again started crying.
Taehyung didn't get inside the room. He just turned around and headed towards Jungkook's room. And then he went through the window and stepped out of the room. He sat down and covered his mouth using both his hands. He couldn't believe his own ears. He nodded his head in denial.

-No, this can't be true. I need to find her immediately.

And Tae looked for Juli everywhere but couldn't find her. He was awake all night long and searched for her. He walked in the streets and at dawn, he came to his home to get some rest. And when he lay down on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep and his sleep was broken when Juli called him and told him to reach her office then and there. In office, however, he noticed that Juli's eyes were all swollen and that means she cried all day , all night long.

Tae didn't say anything at that time, but he became sure of the fact that Juli's own children have thrown her out of the home.

Flashback Ended

-I know, you don't trust me but I assure you that you're now safe with me.

Tae whispered to himself and then closing his eyes, he fell asleep.
