PROTECT YOU <JUNGKOOK X READER>

CHAPTER TWELVE

"... Jung Hoseok."

Y/n's POV

There's a situation when I feel scared and I have to depend myself on someone. When there's no other way out of it, I feel stuck in the corner and just waiting for the beast find its prey.

The air substance is narrow, I barely breathe in due the shock and pressure, soon as I received the news this morning I already know what this man capable of, he would take any risks to be with his daughter.

I don't want that, I can't let Irish living around him, with unhealthy environment, what he can promise her a better life is nonsense. To prevent from happening, I will risk my life to protect Irish. I can't be scare now.

"Jungkook, where's the plates, come on, everything is ready!"

I heard Imo shouting from the back yard, startled us all, I wipe my tears away and wash my face not to look obvious. I grab the bowl with the sauce I made and bring it outside but Jungkook's hand stop me. He wrap his finger around my forearm as his gaze fixed on mine.

"We're gonna have to talk about this later, Y/n." I know he won't satisfied with my answer, he demand the truth, is all in now, I have no way back anymore, he knows a bit what happened. Even though I don't want him to involve, he will still stubborn.

I nod and leave the two boys in the kitchen, to join the other, I see the table is filled with foods, delicious as it smells. I put the bowl in between the well cooked meat, Seokjin clap his hand as he give me the seat next to him. My niece and Prudence sit across to me, they already holding their forks, eating silently before everyone else as they smiles to each other.

I told her to stop and wait for the elders, she put her fork down and being obedient kid. She smiles at me, instantly bring some joy spreads in my chest with gentleness. How can I lose this cute little girl to her father. He is far from a good guy, I doubt he can be a good father for Irish.

Jungkook and Butter join us in the table sitting in the two remaining seats. Today is supposed to be a happy day for Jungkook, I don't wanna ruin it with my personal issues that it shouldn't be even show up to the surface at all.

7:30 pm

After dinner, I was dishes with Jungkook while the other still in the back yard having their dessert. Imo be the kindness mother that taking care of sleepy Irish and Prudence. She took her upstairs to stay in the guest room.

I feel tap on my shoulder and I look back, Jungkook lean on the kitchen counter with his worry face. I sigh and wipe my hand with the napkin as I done with the dishes.

"Can we talk about it?" He say.

I know what he has in his mind, the thing I want to avoid is to talk about my past. But no one can't stop it when the reality is they are going to put me in the same situation I was run away from.

"Jungkook, I... I don't wanna talk about it, if that's what you want. It's too painful."

"I know, it's not about that... Everyone is staying here for the night, will you stay here too?" Well, I guess I was wrong. I smiles.

"But I live next door."

"I know that." He chuckles.

"I'll stay until midnight. Let's watch movie with the other."

I walk toward the living room and join the other who were so serious with their eyes focus on the screen, I sit next to my best friend, Butter, he open his arm as I lean on his shoulder to be more comfortable.

"What are you watching?" I whisper to him look up to his face. He doesn't look at me but the way his face fear of the ghost will show up, he's alerted, and that's cute.
