The moon is particularly bright tonight.

The young man thought as he observed the bright glowing orb hanging high up above the night sky through the slits of the swaying curtains, courtesy to the faint whistling of the wind.

As soon as he entered his room, he immediately plopped himself down on his bed due to exhaustion despite his dirty clothes.

Jungkook sighed as he let his aching muscles be enveloped by the warmth and softness of his comforter, he didn't even mind cleaning the small stinging cut right above his collarbone as his thoughts were preoccupied by the events that transpired just a few hours ago.

"Why am I even doing this." Jungkook muttered to himself.

The young heir ruffled his brown locks in frustration before shooting a glance at the unconscious girl sitting in his car's front seat, but it didn't last long as he eventually resumed to zeroing his gaze on the road in front. He took a deep breath as an attempt to calm his heart down and mend the now faint headache that unexpectedly attacked him eatlier.

He didn't know why he was doing this when he was supposed to hate this girl and their whole family, especially after what they did many many years ago.

Jungkook was just taking a slow and quiet night drive when he passed by a lone alley and spotted dark shadows moving and doing God knows what, but curiosity got the best of him which caused him to immediately stop his vehicle and get out of the car, meanwhile noting that they were the only people around as it was secluded and the moon was already starting to rise up.

As soon as he got to take a closer look though, he was baffled by the scene that greeted him.

It was a group of men, ganging up on the helpless figure of a girl on the ground.

"What the actual hell?" He raised a surprised brow as he observed from a good distance, he was not far from his car, but he was at least close enough to hear what they were saying, it also helped that it was only them in a deserted place so their voices travelled and echoed  around easily.

The young man noted that the girl impressively put up a good fight but she was outnumbered, and clearly had no chance of winning especially as she was alone—

Jungkook shook his head. Why was he even bothering staying and thinking about it when he had no business with these people whatsoever? He didn't know them and he didn't know what the situation was exactly.

The young heir sighed, he was about to finally walk away and return back to his home, but an enraged voice suddenly evaded his ears.

"Having power doesn't give you the right to trample on others, that just makes you filthier compared to those people who live on the streets."

He halted at her words. Jungkook slowly turned to face the group again just in time to find one of those men laughing in disbelief, as if the words that came out of the girl's lips were the funniest thing he heard today.
