A quiet evening walking through town unexpectedly turns into a dramatic incident that turns Jungkook's life upside down.
Amnesiac, unnamed and untamed girl finds her way into the young man's heart.
However with a dark past catching up to them, coun...
Jungkook let out a breath at the whole story. It was a lot to process. Yuri had proceeded, to his demand, in telling him all about her past life.
She'd started to edit out a lot of details, getting to the tragic incident and telling it into details. Jungkook cut her off saying he wanted the entire story first.
So she complied and told all about her past, and her eyes remained glued to the ground, shame written all over her face.
The other were intently listening and shared a look at the tragic life story.
"And now, here we are. I'm sorry you guys got to know someone like me. I'm sorry you had to hear this and meet a criminal and a murderer. I'm sorry-"she trailed off, feeling the tears coming as no one said a word.
She never expected what happened next. Never in a million years did she expect Jungkook to take her in his arms, wrapping them around her tightly in a spontaneous movement.
His hand held the back of her head, her face in the crook of his shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Yuria... no one should have to go through what you've been through. Especially not you."he said.
Eyes wide, Yuri froze entirely, hands linked together and pressed against his chest. Why was he being so gentle and so warm?
Why would he hold her that way when she was nothing but a criminal?
Why weren't they throwing her out of the hotel?
Tears welled up her eyes and she clenched her jaw, holding them back. She couldn't cry. She couldn't afford to do so.
She was a terrible person who deserved nothing but utter misery.
Sniffling at the tears threatening to spill, she pulled away.
"No, Jungkook listen, you can't be like that, you can't be-"
"What, the same as before? Because that's how I feel. Nothing has changed."
"But-"
"You were a victim to your mother's atrocious plans, you were just a child..."he added sadly, his eyes holding too many emotions for her to read and comprehend.
His hands reached out, cupping her face gently as tears shone in his eyes.
"Yuri, what happened on that road, when you tried to escape, the accident.... wasn't your fault. You never imagined that your mother's men would chase after you and cause such a tragedy. You never wanted it, it was never your fault nor mine. Just like me... we were both victims that day. I lost my two friends, you lost all traces of your father."
