For a few seconds, I heard nothing but a muffled voice slowly raising inside my ears which was echoing all over the room. "Please d-don't. Ah!" I opened my eyes and looked at that shit who was laying on the floor. He was beaten up so badly.

His mouth was covered by someone's hand. He was a good-looking man, seemed to be young and looked so strong as that bastard couldn't fight him back. That's all I noticed about him at that time.

That guy punched right into his face in which his mouth was bleeding heavily. Then, he lifted that shit up and pushed him towards the door. The man called someone, and they took him away somewhere. That asshole was no longer in my sight.

I had no idea what was happening here. My body turned cold, my hands were shaking beside me, legs trembling. Tears were rolling down from my eyes.

All I could remember was only one thing. My mother, who is the only person I got, was standing in front of that bastard, begging for my security and money when I was young.

She was too rich but got kicked out from her house for marrying my dad and for having me because my mother's family didn't want a girl child. Actually, it got worse when my dad ran away, leaving me and my mom alone and that was the exact reason why we both were casted out from her family.

Because of that, I was hated for no reason.

I was too young to support my mom. I don't even have the knowledge of what was happening back there.

All these memories were flashing inside my head. I couldn't hold it any longer.

I cried out so loudly and sobbed with my hands covering my mouth.

This grabbed his attention over me.

"Hey, don't cry. Everything's gonna be okay." He kneeled down and wrapped his hands around me, patting on my upper arms gently which made me calm down a bit. But I couldn't control my tears. He lifted my head and tilted towards him.

"Look, I'm here to save you. No need to worry about anything, okay?" He wiped the tears out and had me in his arms. His presence made me relaxed. But I wanted to leave that room soon. That room was filled with miserable memories. I wanted to go home as soon as possible.

"I don't want to stay here. Get me out of this room. Please." I clenched his shirt and pressed my face on his chest. "I want to go home." I sobbed. He stroke my arms gently with his hands to cool me down.

"Okay. I'll drop you home." He helped me to get up and we walked outside the room.

We reached the parking area soon. He opened the door for me. It smelled so nice there. I leaned on the seat, making myself comfortable. But still, I couldn't get out of those horrible memories.

"Where is your house?" He asked.

"Near the lake."

"Good. I'll drop you."

"Mm." He drove the car as soon as I responded. But after getting into his car, I remembered that I'm with a stranger right now.

At first, I hesitated to ask him questions. I pulled myself together with some courage to ask him, "Ca-can I ask you something?" I stammered a lot. But, I was shocked to get his response to my question.

"You want to know my name huh?" I was really so shocked by his reply. How did he know what I thought?

"If you want to know, then I'm Jungkook. I know this wouldn't be enough info about me. But it's good for you to know only this." He smiled away and continued driving. As he said, this wasn't enough and still, I'm with a stranger.

✤•✤•✤

It was around 7 and we hadn't reached my home yet. We were surrounded by traffic, and now, I was so hungry. My stomach started growling and my lips were completely dried. This day really sucks!

Jungkook's pov

This is the first time I let a girl inside my car ever in my whole life. To be frank, I've never helped a girl. I won't be able to control myself when I'm around girls and that's because of my uncontrollable power.

Maybe that's the reason why I hate women. Even if I had one beside me, they would be lying over the bed within an hour to let me ride them. But, they would forget everything the very next moment when I finish. Even now, I'm afraid of that.

She was really so frightened back there. But now she looked ok. Back there, I heard a girl who was screaming for help. Now, I only see a girl who looked so calm after all this mess.

Still, she looked so dull and exhausted. I thought that she should eat something to regain her strength.

"Here, first drink this." I gave her some water after seeing her worn-out face. She first hesitated. But then, she got it and drank.

"You look so weak and exhausted. Are you hungry? Can I-"

"No, I'm fine. You could just drop me at my home. That means a lot to me." She said this and smiled a bit.

I knew she didn't had her lunch. I could read it from her face. "Don't be so formal. Feel free to ask anything. You didn't have your lunch. Am I right?"

She paused for a minute. Seems like she was thinking whether to say the truth or not. She clicked her tongue and looked at me.

"Y-yeah. I didn't have my lunch because of that bastard. I'm...." She lowered her face and looked at her bare hands.

"But, that's ok. You could just drop me. I don't feel hungry now." She said this with her drained voice.

I was expecting this reply from her. I drove the car away from the traffic. "No. You should eat. I know a place where we could find better food. I hope you will enjoy my treat." I smiled by looking at her after saying this. She didn't oppose me. Her lips parted to say something but just nodded in return.

I thought she would be annoyed by my behavior. But she too smiled and then turned away looking outside. Her smile took my heart away. She was damn beautiful and well-mannered. I started liking her.

She was different from all those girls I met before. Her presence hits me different. She has something unique than others. I know she wasn't so sure about me. Still, I like to be with her.

I don't want to ruin this day with a girl who seems to be fed up with her life. This is the first time I let a girl inside my boundary after so many years.

As I said, I usually don't get along with the girls as I hated them to the extent. But after seeing her state, I got to know that we both shared the same pain as she has now which made me to get more interested on her. But the truth about our pain is that, mine is the worst.

y/n's pov

The car stopped in front of the restaurant. "Here we are! Come on. Let's have our dinner." He unbuckled his seatbelt and went out.

The guard came close to me to open the door. But Jungkook stopped him, and he opened the door for me. He also gave some money to him.

It looked so nice to see a man after a long time who is so kind-hearted. He made me realize that not all the men are same. He gave me the hope that I've been casting around all over these years.

I looked outside the restaurant. It was so magnificent. My face was filled with delight instead of sorrow. I can't wait to go inside.

We went inside the restaurant. The hall was decorated beautifully. I was pretty sure that it was a 5-star hotel. But he led the way to the other side.

There was a huge door, opened by the clerks. The view was breath-taking. The tables were placed beside the river. The tables had candles, and had flowers over it with beautiful light settings. I saw him smiling, which appeared after seeing me happy. I could see the whole city from there. This is the most beautiful place I've ever been.

[For your reference ✌]

I don't know why I feel safe around him. But I liked to be with him. I kinda like him so much. I don't know who he is. But does it matter? Well, I don't think so.

He called a clerk and asked him for a seat. I was still looking at the view with an awe. "Do you like this place?" He asked which made me to close my mouth.

"Yes. I-I love it."

"Then come. Let's have our seat over there."

He held my wrist and started walking to that table.

Is it a date? Did I fall for him? Why did he bring me here? Why does he do so many things for a stranger?

Whatever the reason may be. I'm going to enjoy this moment completely...... with him.

✤•✤•✤

"No! You are drunk. I can't leave you alone." He wrapped his hand around me to make me walk properly. I stumbled a little bit but managed to walk. I think I got drunk too much.

"There." I pointed my finger to the lobby which had a lift.

"Uhm, which floor?" He asked.

"27." I said.

We walked inside the lift, and he pressed the button. I don't want him to walk me to my door but I was drunk so badly and needed help. I couldn't even walk properly on my own.

But I also don't want my neighbor to see me with him. If she finds me with some random guy, she definitely will say that to my mom, and my mom won't spare me. I just wished that no one should see me with him.

I don't want my fear to come true. As soon as the door opened, I held his hand and ran towards my door.

"Whoa! What the..."

"Don't ask me anything. Just run with me."
