THEN

You ring the doorbell like a maniac. Holding down the buzzer incessantly until someone comes to the door. It was pouring rain earlier but now that you're close to shelter there's no rain to be seen. Luck works against you like that. You hear footsteps, you pray it's Jungkook, but of course it's not. It's one of Mr. Jeon's many Goons. You see the opulence of the Jeon Estate hinted through the foyer you spot behind the hired gun.

One day all of this will be Jungkook's... just like Taehyung. You shake the thought off you can't think about him. Besides that's the reason you're leaving him and it's the reason Jungkook is the only one who can help you.

"Kid are you out of your mind?" Asks the Goon, his eyes looking over your soaked through clothes in disgust.

Ugh, it's not like the rain is your fault!

"Jungkook?" you blurt out, not having time for niceties or apologies. "I need to see Jungkook."

"Why?" Asks the Goon.

"That's for me to find out," says a voice behind him as Jungkook walks to the front door. "It's cool. I know her."

The Goon shoots you a glare before walking away, dismissed by the mafia prince.

"I need your help," you tell him. "I didn't know where else to go."

Jungkook reaches into his pocket and pulls out a cell phone. "Let me call Taehyung. He'll-"

"No!" You yell, snatching the phone out of his hand. "You don't understand. I meant that I don't have anywhere else to go. Taehyung is the one I'm hiding from."

Well, you're hiding from his father and so Taehyung by extension.

"What's going on?" Asks Jungkook, his voice dripping with concern as his eyes rove over your soaked form.

"I just need a quiet place to think, uninterrupted."

"And Taehyung is an interruption?" Asks Jungkook.

"The biggest," you admit.

"Goddamn it, girl, don't you have an umbrella?" He asks pulling you into the house and closing the door.

You sigh in relief. So grateful that you can rely on and trust Jungkook. You're in so much chaos you desperately need someone you can trust. Jungkook won't judge you and he won't steal your autonomy from you. You have decisions to make and Jungkook is just not the kind who will decide for you.

You shake your head as you slip off your soaked shoes and socks, slipping into house slippers the Jeon family has stacked by the door.

"You need a shower," observes Jungkook and he's right.

You follow Jungkook up intense stairs to his bedroom. He shuts the door behind him and leads you passed his bed, into his private bathroom. He hands you a towel, shows you how to use his fancy car wash of a shower, and then leaves you.

You get undressed and under the hot spray of the shower as quickly as humanly possible. The warmth spreads through you, waking you up and cheering you up. There's a miracle inside you that you will honor and protect at all costs.

You're warm, clean and ready to throw on the clothes Jungkook left out for you when you hear banging on Jungkook's bedroom door. You freeze, shutting of the water and lights, holding completely still.

You hear footsteps on the other side of the door as Jungkook goes to answer his bedroom door.

"Taehyung!" He says by way of greeting and you know it's for your benefit so that you'd know to be quiet. "What are you doing here?"
"I have a question and I want an honest answer because I don't have time to fuck around," says Taehyung.
