LXI

A week went blur with all the preparations for the trail. We finally registered a complaint and sent a legal notice to the Evans. It's all over the news not only the assault case, but Raphael is charged for illegal transfer of money under unregistered companies and human traffic rings. 

I was stunned, I was not sure if I was going to have a strong case especially after three years of silence and we destroyed the evidence so I thought Evans had a strong suppression but I still wouldn't have given up. Even though it may have taken years and so I wouldn't have stopped not now. 

I had second thoughts, I still do. Nothing can be done now. It's all over the news. Its talk of the year considering Jeon Co-operations and Thorne's Law Association involvement the business world is already choosing and pairing with a strongest party. Evans are doomed and even if they were the richest one they are the most corrupt ones too. So any involvement with them is going to cost everyone a lot. We have enough evidence, hopefully the judgment would be in our favour. Sadly I have seen many cases where Women are deemed the reason for their assault and men walking free without charges. Some due to lack of evidence. 

Today, an officer and our lawyer are going to come and take my statement. I am anxious, I haven't told anyone apart from my therapist and friends about what happened. Even my parents who had to hear it from Jimin. Speaking about it is going to make this all very very real. I am nervous and scared that I might lose it. 

Jungkook being a sweetheart obviously doing his best to hold me together so I won't scatter, but who is going to tell him I am already broken and I am healing now? It's all thanks to him and myself too. Yesterday Lee stopped by after a very long time. We had our girls night while the guys being good boys gave us the privacy we needed. 

"What's on your mind?". Jungkook hugged me from behind nuzzling his face in my neck. "Talk to me, baby". 

I stopped stirring my coffee and turned around to face him. He was shirtless and his sweats were hung low on his hips. Hm, this is distracting. 

The way he smirked he knew that too"Eyes up here". Jungkook took my chin firmly. After returning from the beach house, Jungkook was being very touchy not that he was not before. But now he constantly touches me, he doesn't miss a chance. Not that I am complaining I love it. Past few days we have been busy, actually Jungkook is. 

He wakes up early before I wake up and comes to bed when I am asleep. I feel him crawl in the bed and hold me tightly in the middle of night. Most times he would skip meals so I make sure I eat with him. I bring meals where they work and sit there as he works. I don't want to intrude so I don't speak. 

Rolling my eyes at him I poke his chest"Put on something, the officer and lawyer would be here anytime. Wear something decent ". 

Jungkook took a hold of my hand that was poking his chest and rubbed the inside of my wrist." And what about you? Are you looking decent? ". 

I looked down, Jungkook's shirt ended up my mid-thigh not covering my skin much. My excuse is I just woke up and I can't function without a coffee. Taking a hold of my thighs Jungkook lifted me, setting me on the kitchen counter and making a way to stand between my legs. 

"Hm-Mm, someone really likes this position". I commented as we always end my near counters. Specially Kitchen counter. 

Jungkook flicked my nose "Nah, I love you writhing under me". He said while thrusting his hip forward. 

I brush my thumb under his curve of lips, "Really." that no doubt was my favourite position if not reversing it completely and having him beneath me. 

Jungkook bit my thumb "Yes". 

"Jungkook?". 

"Hm". He hummed, hugging me closer. 

"What does your family think about all this?" I hesitate before saying "Do they think I don't want to know , maybe I am not right for you after all this". 

Jungkook pulled back glaring at me "Are you seriously saying that". Narrowing his eyes at me then softening as he saw my eyes glossed with tears. "If anything, they are proud of you and they love you more. They all are going to be there for the trail. And Nana said I am perfect for you. You are brave, baby. Very brave." 

I sniffed "Really?".

Jungkook nudged my chin up kissing my cheek "Yes". 

"What in the seven heavens is going on here?". A voice boomes startling us both. We both jumped, turning to the force of the voice. 

Dad stood there with his arms crossed and Mom seemed pretty excited for a parent who caught their kid in a very porno scene. 

I sighed and looked at Jungkook who appeared mortified. He quickly took a few steps back creating an appropriate distance. Dad still threw daggers at Jungkook who shifted awkwardly rubbing his back of neck. Jungkook suddenly looked at me with his red glowing cheeks realising now he is just standing there with his sweats tugged low as If just talked out of a Calvin Kevin photoshoot. 

"After a very long time I came to see my daughter who had us worried sick and apparently not giving us details and hiding things from us. Only to find she is also hiding a whole ass man". Dad said his eyes narrowed at me, I just sheepishly waved my hand at him" Young lady I told you we are going to have a talk and I need to know every fucking details of what's happening ". 

"James Language ". Mama said, hitting his arm, Dad just rolled his eyes at her jutting his chin at us "Dress up you two and meet us here in five minutes". 

Before Dad could say anything Jungkook was the first one to sprint out leaving me alone. That Bastard. 

"What are you waiting for?". Dad said, shooing me away. Jeez parents. 

………. 

Jungkook and I sat beside each other maintaining a distance. Jungkook kept fidgeting, occasionally sneaking glances at my Dad. Dad just stared at us, and well Mom being Mom looked around the house analyzing things. 

"Can you tell me why it wasn't necessary to tell your parents what was happening?". Dad asked, not malice but he looked disappointed. 

I took his hand in mine "Dad I am sorry. I just didn't want anyone to worry, I thought I had it in control". I said, squeezing his hand in assurance. 

"Worry? Darling you are our daughter, how can we not worry." He said in a low tone" How scared we were thinking something happened and again we weren't able to do anything ". He muttered, tightening his grip on me. 

Mom stopped wandering as the conversation took a turn her eyes almost teary and I saw Dad's eyes shining with tears. I quickly got up and took Dad in a warm embrace. Mom came and joined in, caressing my head gently. 

"Nothing happened." I said firmly, "I am okay." 

"I am proud of you, sweetie". Mom whispered, kissing my temple, "Mu brave girl". 

No. I am not going to cry. This is the support and assurance I needed, I know I am not alone but sometimes a reminder is necessary. Dad and Mom being here broke all the walls and my brave exterior completely showing how exactly scared I am too. I am falling but I have people who will hold me, stand with me. 

Later the officer and lawyer stopped by to take my statement. Jungkook held my hand throughout encouraging me. By the end of the statement I was shivering uncontrollably which The female officer said is normal in these circumstances. And I was wondering if only we victims suffer, what about the one you think are Victors in these situations. For us, this is unfortunate and for them what exactly this is for them. 

Needless to say I was enraged and determined to unleash the wrath inside me upon him was understatement.
