chapter 19 | Bittersweet

"I need to talk about something..."

"What is it?" he sits down next to me, not letting go of my hand but stroking his thumb over it to comfort me. I stare at him, thinking about what Jungkook told me by text. "I'm scared you could hate me..." I tear up without wanting to, feeling a tight knot in my throat. "Hey, I'll never hate you, princess. You know it," he takes my hand in both of his tough and warm ones. "Don't be scared to talk to me about anything."

I straighten up and get onto his lap to wrap my arms around him but cry, and he embraces me in a reassuring manner. "Something bad happened..." I speak out about it like Jungkook told me to, despite how disgusting I feel, I need to do it. "At school...there's a teacher...he used to do and say some things to me..."

"What type of things, honey?" he rubs my back, my heart beating fast and hitting me in the chest. "He already touched me...and he already said some things to me..."

12 pm.

"Y/n..." Mister Park runs his fingers through my hair as I'm sitting on my chair and doing the work he gave me. "Yes?" I keep my eyes down on my book, feeling him standing right next to me and never taking his hand off of me. He sighs heavily but bends over to plant a kiss on my head. "Would you like to come to my house to work a bit more? I'll be free this Sunday."

"I want to stay with my dad...I'm sorry, Mister Park," I tell him the truth, not wanting to be with him at a place that I don't even know. I know he wouldn't want to only work with him. "Not even for a day? Your dad won't always be by your side, you know."

I ignore his hurtful words, feeling some pain at the sound of it like no one else could feel because of something like that. "Hm? What will you do when you have a boyfriend?"

"I don't want a boyfriend...My dad is more important," I lower the tone of my voice, hating him for the words he tells me. "You say that because you don't know what it is to have a man, sweetie," he chuckles but slides his hand down to my neck. "You'll change your mind once you know what it is. I can assure you, you will forget your dad."

"No..." I shake my head, not believing into this. My dad is the only one who means everything to me, the only one I trust, the only one who made me feel loved. I'm too attached to him to even think about being in a relationship.

"Baby," a chortle escapes him, his fingers running over my neck. "A man can give you what your dad will never do. You love him like that because you're young, but once you grow up, once you reach nineteen years old, he won't love you that much anymore, you won't be his little princess anymore because you'll leave the house, have a man, you will love that man more because that's different."

I remain silent, thinking about this happening but fearing it.

"Honey..." he sighs but holds me tighter as I cannot take those words and actions out of my mind. "Now he's gone because Jungkook showed a video to the director, where we can see him touch me...but I feel horrible..."

"Do not feel horrible or guilty for what happened. You're not at fault, and you've never done anything wrong. All right? He's an adult, he should never have done this to you, neither use those words to manipulate you. Look at me," his hand comes onto my cheek to make me gaze at him, and I do it. "I'll always love you no matter what. You'll always be my little princess. Always," he wipes my tears away. "And my love for you will never fade away, even with the time, this will always remain as strong as it is now. I do not want you to feel guilty or bad for not talking about it earlier, even if I wish I could have been aware of it right at the beginning, I'll never be thankful enough for what Jungkook did. I apologize for not being there like I should have been to protect you, honey. I'll make sure this doesn't happen to you again. I hope you'll talk about it if something happens because I don't want you to deal with it on your own, and I'll always be there to support and help you. All right?"
