Born For You - JK X Reader

☞ Chapter 12 ☜

Trigger Warning⚠️ : The following chapter contains scenes of bullying.

Jungkook turned his head towards his soulmate. "Yeah, what's up?"

She inhaled sharply and looked forward at the city. 

"To be honest, I'm terrified."

He nodded and wrapped an arm on her shoulders. 

"Me too. For some reason, people think we know how to deal with this. But.. we don't."

She nodded and sighed. "Recently I've been thinking about the past."

He glanced at her. "What about it?" 

"Back then, I thought that I was just getting teased for having this tattoo. But when I really think about it, I realize it was bullying."

His eyes widened and he opened his mouth to say something, but she stopped him.

"They were probably just jealous, now that I think about it. I don't want to sound full of myself, though... There was no true reason, y'know? They just did it for the sake of doing it." she bit the inside of her cheek. "I never would have thought it would have gotten any worse."

Y/n laughed bitterly, tears forming in her eyes. "I guess I was wrong."

Jungkook saw the pain in her eyes. He stepped closer to his soulmate and wrapped his arms around her tiny frame, his chest pressing against her back.

"Y/n..."

She was surprised of the sudden action. Y/n wiped the tear that had started to roll down her cheek and tried to turn around, but was stopped. 

Jungkook squeezed her waist tighter and rested his chin on her shoulder, and together they gazed at the bustling city below. Y/n looked up to stop any tears and wiped the ones that flowed.

"It's okay to cry. Let it all out. You don't have to worry about anything like that anymore when you're with me." He let go of her and turned her around, holding her shoulders. "Those bullies were nothing but idiots."

"Thanks but.. I'm fine." she looked into his eyes and faked a smile. "See?"

He sadly smiled. "Eyes can't hide emotions." Jungkook tucked a stray piece of y/n's hair behind her ear and cupped her cheeks with both his hands. "Cry, okay? Don't let all those feeling bury inside, it's not good for you. One day, when you're famous, those bullies will look at you and regret every action they did. You just have to stay strong until then, yeah?"

She avoided eye contact and nodded, letting her tears flow. Y/n laughed. "Sorry, I'm a mess.." she turned around, facing away from him.

Jungkook turned her around and hugged her. She buried her face in his shirt and bawled her eyes out, crying out her heart and her trapped feelings.

He walked her to the couch and sat down, cradling her in his arms. 

⇢FLASHBACK⇠

They shoved her to the ground and grabbed her hair.

"What's this on your ankle? A tattoo?"

Y/n winced as they pulled her hair. The main bully scoffed. 

"Hey. Is this a soulmate tattoo?"

She shoved y/n to the ground and bent to her level. She looked into y/n's eyes. 

If looks could kill, I'd be dead right now. Y/n thought. "Um.. y-yeah. It is. So?"

The girls cackled and walked away. Y/n got up, shaking and confused. What was that..? she thought, standing up and walking to her next class.
