She is currently experiencing pain, despair, and betrayal. She wanted to sob, scream, and behave like a lunatic, but instead she restrained her one remaining tear from falling to the edge of her eyes. She realised everything was ruined. They broke the final string needed to lead herself to freedom.

She is also upset with the individual who, in cancelling her medical trip to the community, did nothing more than act stupidly. The teachers resisted her attempts to persuade them to agree to renew the contract. They are not at fault, anyway.

She was even so confused that when she even called them to cancel the contract, she was really perplexed. After putting everything together, she was very certain that it was either her stepsister, who is constantly acting like the jealous little girl she is, or her stepmother, who would never want her to succeed. She walked towards her house while harbouring a small amount of irritation and resentment.

She entered the house when she got there, prepared to confront them, but what she saw inside made her fury erupt in her. They have played a filthy game with her, but they are still seated on the couch in the living room. Three of them laugh as though they had accomplished something.

She is aware that her step family will never be her family, but the one and only person she has ever thought of as her family has not been her since she lost her mother.

"Why would you do that, and who did that?" She yelled, trying to get the attention of everyone there. Do what? Why are you here rather than in your campsite, I wonder? Her father didn't even bother to glance at her while he spoke.

"Tsk! Ask your wife and daughter. She spoke once more, but this time much more subdued. "Ask them what, mind getting right to the point and not wasting my time?" "Surely appa, that's what I'm here for. One of them terminated the medical camp's contract, so I'm not going there anymore,"

After finishing her sentence, she pauses to turn and face the two women who were still seated comfortably and grinning inelegantly. "Now, are you two content? Huh! Having fun obliterating everything I possess and do? When are you going to stop? Giving you my family, my father, and everything else wasn't enough, so you tried to exert control over me."

However, she was unable to finish speaking when her father surprised her by rising from the couch and approaching her with a stomp "stop it Y/N. How many times must I discipline you until you stop talking to her in that way? Stop complaining about not going there and go to your room. She did well anyhow" he says, further shattering her heart apart.

She assumed that her father would back her up without a doubt, but things took a 180-degree turn when he praised her mother for doing something so low. She was let down by him once more, as usual.

When her parents started to make their way to the front door, perhaps with the intention of leaving both of the sisters alone and going to their office, she turned around and started to make her way to her room. When she and her sister crossed the path, she stopped with the hold of her wrist, and turned around to gaze at her sister with zero interest.

"Did the little girl's wish to spend time with her fiancé really fail? Well, having no cheaters around Jeon Jungkook is a good thing. You don't deserve him since you're not good enough for him." she spoke the bitter words without a second concern.

She poked her tongue inside her inner cheek. With that, she wrenched her hand away from her sister's grasp and turned around again. But halts upon hearing the ring of bell, When the bell rang, the precise moment when their parents instructed the maids to open the door as they were about to go.

She did not mind it and resumed walking to her room, "oh Jungkook!" The sound of her mother saying distracted her, and she stopped and looked back. "What an unexpected surprise? Please come inside" As she observes Jungkook entering the house and following her parents to the living room. "Any particular cause that brought you here, specifically?" Her father enquired, grabbing Jungkook's focus.

"To get her" He turned to face Y/N, who was already staring at him with curious bambi eyes, and again said  "I've come to bring her along. To the camp," he said at last. "So let's go," he was about to turn around to leave when her father intervened, asking, "But isn't the contract turned down by her?" 

"I heard through her professor that she claimed it wasn't her. Maybe there was a miscommunication, maybe" he paused for a moment, scanning others with his keen eyes before coming to rest at Y/N, "or maybe someone else did this in place of her. I can thus take her there with permission. And if you're done, let me," He then asked, before going to the door.

When she remained in position, Jungkook stopped, tilted his head to the left, and called for her to come, which she did. Their sour faces came into view as she rolled the luggage back to the front door, but she didn't bother to look back again and ran to Jungkook, who grabbed hold of her bag and quickly rolled it to his car and placed it inside the trunk.

When he was finished, he prompted, "Ready?" She nodded before moving to the passenger seat, where she sat down. Jungkook followed accordingly, but he sat in the driver's seat. He started the car by stepping on the gas pedal and drove up. 

___________________________________

Most likely, the entire vehicle ride was spent in silence, but it was more like serene silence to one that was uncomfortable. For some time, Y/N continued babbling and conversing with him, but he had no intention of continuing. But it wasn't a disappointment because he nodded and hummed in response to each of her chats, giving her the impression that he was listening to her. She continues speaking until the automobile comes to a stop in the middle of nowhere. 

She briefly panicked, thinking perhaps there was a problem with the vehicle before Jungkook walked outside and locked it again. As she did, he bent down and motioned with his hand in the air for her to open the windscreen. "What would you want to eat"? He asked, taking her by surprise. "huh!" in response to his question, she spoke. He clicked his tongue in eagerness. "Miss Y/N, I asked what you wanted to eat!" He enquired once more.

"Oh? Sorry! Anything will be OK." She responded through more accurately addressing it like a question. "All right, wait for me over here." He then left for the closest restaurant, which compared to the one in Seoul seemed modest and small.

And soon she sees Jungkook returning to where the car was and finally getting inside before giving the paper bag to her, inside which she assumed the food was. To see what was inside, she sneaks a peek. but halt to hear his subsequent statements. "I bought everything in a variety of ways because I had no idea what you liked. Eat everything you want, if you like." He says. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw her shred the paper from the hamburger she had already taken and devour it haphazardly. He didn't mind it, though.

She appears satisfied as she eats, but he feels an unidentified burning sensation in his heart. He may be aware of it or he may have chosen to disregard it. He hasn't even known her that long, and yet he immediately feels good with her closeness. Perhaps it was only that she looked so adorable while eating. Despite not eating himself, he feels satisfied. 

"Ow" after being brought back to reality by her yelp. As the car was moving, he turned to look at her, who appeared to have water spilled on her, and his eyes fell on her unbuckled seat belt. 'Oh! What a careless person she is' he thought. Before handing her the tissue paper, he shook his head.

She continues wiping it not until she feels his larger body somewhat hanging over her smaller frame, at which point the food in her mouth becomes stuck and her breathing becomes laboured. "Keep it easy, I'm just putting on your seatbelt Y/N." he said, as soon as he noticed her squeezing into the seat even more.

When he finished fastening the seat belt and started driving again, keeping his eyes only on the lengthy road, she stopped becoming agitated.

And now that everything has been resolved, she has come to recognise how ungrateful she has been, without even acknowledging what he has done for her.

"Jungkook" she exclaimed  at him, and instead of saying anything else, he chose to hum.

"Thank you."
