Chapter 17


Word and a crushing black, bleeding colors and a soulful voice.

That's what she remembered when she got up. She knew who it was, who it must've been but she couldn't figure if it was a figment of her imagination or desperation. After all he couldn't have been near her right?

A flash of hot pain down her abdomen sends her gasping and clawing at the unfamiliar bed-sheets. That's when she realizes that she must've not be dreaming and she finally opens her eyes, suddenly more relieved, the fear of reality slowly ebbing away at the thought of the younger's presence near her.

Her parched throat and her papery tongue overtakes her exhaustion as she throws off her blanket in order to find water.

Throwing the blanket off her was the only part, it seemed as she got up and saw stars swimming in her vision but it didn't keep her from wobbling on her feet a few seconds later.

"Oh!" A sudden surprised sound startled Sae enough for her vision to black out a bit as she lost balance getting up and before she knew it, she was stumbling into somebody's hand hold as her vision cleared.

Her strong grip on the shirt didn't loose its intensity even after she confirmed who it was. Jungkook's eyes searched hers worriedly, his grip also not relaxing even tho Sae had caught her balance.

A huge soft palm soothed down her cheek and Sae unconsciously leaned into the delicious warmth of it against her cold skin.

"You okay?" His voice was horse yet gentle and Sae smiled.

But then she remembered the cause for his worry and her lips trembled. She was soon squirming out of his grasp turning her back to his, ashamed and embarrassed of what the younger had seen the night before how he must have thought of her now, how weak sh-

"Noona." She heard Jungkook call softly, yet not daring to take a step forward, respecting her space.

Almost immediately she curled forward, palms resting on her elbows as she tried to disappear. Her shuddering breaths made the world Technicolor again and this time the Younger's hand was soothing down the back of her hair.

"Its okay Noona."

She resisted the younger's hands when he tried turning her, choosing to hide herself from him. But Jungkook was having none of it. Almost immediately, he went around her and faced her instead.

"Noona. Sae Noona." Jungkook took a step forward again only for her to step back.

Sudden anxiety crawled up her chest as she came to a realization of what Chae would do to her after this. After what had happened last. He would possibly ruin her career, her parents would probably kick her out because of that and then she would have nowhere to go nobody to-

"You are safe." Jungkook's voice cut through her speeding thoughts, it was then only she realized she had begun hyperventilating again.

Frantic eyes met Jungkook's and then she found herself in the comforting and soft embrace of the sweater clad younger. She wildly grasped at his shirt, her mouth gasping out the first word that came out in her mind, the root cause of her worries.

"Ch-Chae-"

"You are safe." Jungkook repeated firmly and she began pulling at his shirt in fear.

"H-he'll come a-after me-" Sae gasped, her lungs constricting and Jungkook moved away from her to give her space to breath. "Ch-Chae, h-he-Please don't let me g-go."

"Never." Jungkook said firmly, arms slung firmly around her torso, as if it wasn't going anywhere soon. "I'm here. You can stay here. I wont let you go."

Sae pulled herself back to look at Jungkook. There was no trace of innocence or that cute and bright smile she had seen the first time he had come into her office. No, this was all firm and purely male.

Somebody she could trust. Somebody who wouldn't let her go. Somebody who wasn't Chae.

"Promise?" She whispered into the air between them and Jungkook's thin lips formed a tight line, his face determined.

"Promise."
