chaeyoung's pov:

"you guys know each other?"

"uh, yeah, i mean he is one of my bestfriends!" shouted jimin with a wide smile."but, kookie, what are you doing here?"

"i'm working on a project with chae."

"so you guys are classmates?"

"as you can see!" i exclaim, adding a pabo

"yah! you know i can hear you!" jimin shouts, acting as if he is angry. "oh and kookie, you can sleep here if you want."

"no hyung, i'd rather go home."

"as you want!" jimin replied while closing the door, leaving both of mw and jungkook alone.

***

"i think we're done for today, plus it's already eleven!"

"yeah, so... see you tomorrow?" he said, sounding more like a question

"see you tomorrow kooks. let me follow you to the front door."

i followed him to the front door,but i don't know why, i had a feeling. like if something was going to happen. i didn't like it.

"kooks, here is my number, if you need anything, feel free to text or call me" i said

"thank you rosé!"

and then he left, leaving me speechless.

did he just call me rosé?

***

i couldn't sleep. i kept turning back and forth. but i couldn't sleep. i srill had this feeling.

unknown:
chaeyoung, it's jungkook. please i need your help. can i come to your place?

chaeyoung:
why kooks? what happened

you changed the nickname from "unknown" to "kooks"

kooks:
please i just want to come.

chaeyoung:
ok, come.

i was worried. i didn't know what to expect. at least i know that my feeling was right, but i wish it wasn't.

a few minutes later, jungkook texted me. i went down and opened the door, i just opened but he was already crying in my arms. i tried to comfort him. we sat on the sofa in my room and i was drawing circles in his back.

"kookie, please can you tell me what happens."

"chae... i... i am done with life... i don't want to live anymore. it hurts me so much everytime!" he says, sobbing.

"kook, what hurts?"

"everything. the hurting is mental and physical. everytime, my body is aching, but i act like if everything was fine. but i just want to cry it out."

my heart hurts because his is hurting too.

"jungkook, i am super super sorry. if you don't want to tell me now, it's okay, but you're not leaving this house for the night!" i reply

"no no no no, chaeyoung i want to tell you, even though i might get in trouble. i don't want to leave it for myself anymore. my dad... he... he"

"your dad what kookie-boo? it's okay, you can tell me."

he seems to hesitate for a moment, but then answers.

"my dad beats me up."

i think i can hear my heart breaking.

"oh my god kooks, i'm s-sorry."

"it's not your fault chae, it's just... it's just that i needed to tell someone about it."he said "sorry for bothering, i'll leave now"he continued super quickly

"jungkook, please, let me help you. and you don't have to leave, you can stay here. i'll go look for something you can wear."

i stood up, but then, when i wanted to leave the room, he touched my wrist, and held it.

"don't bother jimin hyung, i can sleep like that."

then he leaned on the sofa, and me on the bed. but i knew one thing.

he was trying hard to hold his tears.

how did i know it? i heard his sobs.

i sat next to him and hugged him, seeing him like that was terrible. in the school, his was always smiling and joking with his friends. who could know that behind this smile, he was hurt and broken?

"shh kookie, it's okay i'm here. you can cry with me. i'm here for you. i'm your friend."

i kept on saying soothing words and a few minutes later, his tears stopped.

"i'm sorry chaeyoung." he whispered

"sorry for what?"

"i'm sorry because i bothered you"

"kookie, you're not bothering me and you'll never bother" i said, drawing circles behind his back."i think we've progressed a lot today, what if tomorrow, we spend some time together to get to know each other."

"n-no, i can't!" he whispered "if i don't come back, h-he's going to hurt me, and i don't want that."

"if you let me help you, he's not going to hurt you anymore. you're going to be fine!"

"chaeyoung?"

"yes?"

"i guess i can let you help me"
