INNOCENT

Is he happy?

Jungkook's chest pressed on your back. He was cuddling you after that proposal make out session. You couldn't sleep, neither could he.

"Jungkook."

"Hmm?"

"You never tell me what was happening in high school... Why did you leave?"

"You are really curious, aren't you?"

"Did something happen?"

His past was always a mystery. Even now he only talks about the future. You can see how successful he is and how he works hard for it. But now you are his fiancé. You wish he could share it with you.

Even just a little.

"My step father hit my mom. She was injured and got blood in her head. She stayed in the hospital for weeks."

You gasped, it must be really bad.

"I'm sorry..."

"It was not your fault, Y/n." Jungkook kissed your head.

"Why did you never tell us? You said that you heard us, right? You were inside the house the whole time?"

"He was inside too. He was afraid that I might run away. And he saw you..."

"What?" You didn't understand.

"He said if I left the house to meet all of you. He will hurt you in any way I didn't want to imagine." You got goosebumps.

You turned around to see his face. Why was life so hard on him? What did he do wrong? He was just a kid at the time.

"I can't let him do that." He caressed your face, "Three of you are my precious friends. I didn't want to involve you in any trouble. Not with that psycho."

"But you were suffering by yourself. I.. I was really worried and I kept coming back to your house.."

"I know." He pecked your lips, "I wish I could run to see you. I missed you a lot."

"..."

Jungkook traced your back with his finger.

He gripped on your waist. His hand is so warm brushing your naked skin.

"What's happened to your mom?"

"She died."

Why did the story become worse each time?

"I never knew that my mom had a little sister. They never talk to each other. But she picked me up after that..."

"As much as i want to know your story. I'm scared to hear what's happening..."

"I was scared too. I thought I was going to die after my mom." He chuckled.

"It's not funny at all!"

"Y/n, i love you. At that time I kept repeating your scenery in my head. You are the one who keeps me alive." He looked straight into your eyes. You saved him. No, he is the one who saves you all the time.

"..."

"My aunt is kind. She raised me as her own. Things were different after that. My mom, she.. saved money for me. I didn't expect that." His voice turned hoarse. He was holding his tears.

"She did." Oh, Jungkook.

"After all those years I thought she was abandoning me. She was not. My mom worked so hard for me. She didn't want me to be useless. She wanted me to go to a nice college and be able to achieve my dreams..." There was a pain in his smile.

"And you did. She was already proud of you, Jungkook. I'm sure of it."

"I never had the chance to thank her. All my life I was blaming her for things I had been through."
