[On Hold] AGE GAP

10. Arrival

JUNGKOOK'S POV

It's been 24 hours since she has been unconscious. The nurse changed her clothes and asked me to call the doctor once she wakes up. Now I was panicking because she was getting cold but heavy duvets could only increased the weight over her body that makes her breathing unstable.

I ran fingers in my hair and again took a look of her unconscious body. It was full of bruises, on her face, wrists, neck, chest and waist, I couldn't forgive myself from letting it happen. If only the dean could have ended the meeting earlier...

But who knew this would happen.

Anything could happen anytime in this era and not always we would be prepared. I couldn't see her shivering so I threw off my shirt and laid down beside her. I gulped before wrapping my arm around her waist, careful enough to not touch the wounds and laid her chest near my heart. I felt her snuggling closer and I couldn't help but smile at how she remembered a doll, a fragile broken doll.

That's when a deja vu crossed his mind. She resembled one of his night stands that he couldn't forget, it was the best remedy he had gotten to get over his ex but why was that feeling again overcame when Y/N was in his arms? He shook his head, knowing that since he hasn't slept since the incident it might be an absurd thought.

He again looked at her and realised that her skin was soft against him and she was much more better than before. Soon he yawned and drifted to slumber too. After five hours he woke up again and saw himself draping his arms around her, which was he never slept together. It reminded him of his ex and Y/N was bringing back every memory he shared with that girl who was long gone.

Perhaps because instead of creating new memories they were repeating the basics which were already under the signature of another woman.

He went to do his morning routine and when he came back he saw Y/N sitting up on bed, buring her face in joined knees. Faint sobs were heard and he felt terrible. He really wanted to run and hug her tight, whisper soothing words but the lifelong awkwardness couldn't be erased in a single second. This, he took slow steps and caressed her hair.

"Let the pain. I'm always with you, Y/N.  How about Korean BBQ? Let me reserve a table for us." I knew I was bad at comforting but I tried my best. I spoke with the softest voice I could ever say, it even surprised me.

" Neither I'm your pet nor someone's toy. So leave, can you?"

I stopped going through the phone and looked at confuse. She said," Leave me alone." Even though I didn't wanted to leave her but she was showing those pleading eyes that showered me with guilt.

But I would've never left if I knew she would disconnect herself from me.

A week passed and it felt like I was living alone in the penthouse although in reality it was opposite. One day I had enough and decided to do something, anything to get her open up. I misunderstood that it was because of her ongoing tests and now that it ended she continued ignorant behavior.

I took it on my ego. Therefore, the following day I came earlier than her and went to her room. I broke the legs of bed, letting it stay as if nothing happened. I went to prepare supper, waiting for her arrival.

In an hour she came back and I pretended casually. "Eat dinner than go for sleep." She only nodded and went in the bedroom. She returned in casual clothes and a smell of soap and citrus lingering around her.

"How was the day?"

"Everyone knows about Kyungsoo. They all are wondering why a well known businessman would help me. Since they all don't believe in humanity so they came up with you being my... Sugar daddy."
