ENCHANTED

39

You watched the man cough up blood under Jungkook's foot. He had beaten him up so much, he was bruised everywhere.

Jaesung, your ex husband lied in front of you.

"What did he do? Jungkook... tell me" you asked Jungkook turning towards him as he looked at the man with bloodshot eyes. You didn't know if you'd ever seen Jungkook angry like this before.

"He... he tried to molest Ria" you couldn't believe the words that just came out of Jungkook's mouth and reached your ears. The next moment you knew you were choking him squeezing his neck with all the strength that you had in your hands. Some men held Jungkook back while he tried to break free of their grip while some tried to pull you away.

Soon you heard the police siren approaching near. He fell unconscious as you left him kicking his body while you were being pulled away. The policemen took him away as the people around reported the crime.

"Ria... We need to be there..." You held his hand and ran inside the house. She sat on the sofa shivering, silently crying, her hair messed up, her pants wet, her eyes indicating a fear like you'd never seen before. Yejun wouldn't leave her, sitting beside her with his arm wrapped around her body. He was scared himself and yet was showing protectiveness towards her.

"Ria. Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere? Tell me..." You tried your best to deal with the situation. Panicking your own.

"Bad man tried to touch her.... bad touch... I hit him..." Yejun said angrily.

"Ria look at me"

"I'm scared" She told you.

In that moment you felt helpless. As a parent you'd never imagined you would've to face such things. People did come to help in an appropriate manner. Professionals who were trained to help at such occasions. Ria refused to be touched by anyone and Yejun refused to leave her. She felt safe with her, maybe because in the worst moment of their lives they both had been together. Even when their mother died they both faced it together in their own way for the first few days. They knew each other in a way that you and Jungkook didn't knew them. They had a very strong precious bond as siblings.

Yejun guarded the door when she changed. He sat by her side when she tucked herself in her bed under her comfort blanket. He fed her even when you insisted upon doing it. You were amazed at how they loved each other.
Even when they slept he slept by her side.

"If she needs him, let him be there. Even though they aren't completely each others siblings they have a deep connection that they share together..."
Jungkook said after he saw them peacefully sleeping.

"It's all because of me... I'll leave Jungkook... if you all are not safe because of me I'll leave. The police said he was seen in the town where we were on Sunday. He caused the fire too. You all got in trouble because of me. This is a very bad idea." You said looking down and then taking off your engagement ring.

"No... we can't survive without you. You're not leaving... never" he said pulling you closer, holding you tightly not allowing you to leave.

"Our child Jungkook... why her? Why them? He could've done it to me. What did he get by doing this to her..."

"Let's just put the past in the past. Ria has her emotional support in Yejun. She has us, she'll get through it. And she's very strong anyways. Don't say such things. Don't blame yourself. And if you leave then I won't be able to live. Those children will be broken more. You can't leave" He said keeping his hold on you tight.

"Just make sure he gets a lifetime of prison"

"I'd get him a death sentence if possible"

The days passed away as you both stayed home with the kids. Your mother shifted to live with you permanently until her impending death. After all that you all went through it was nice having a guardian around. The kids didn't know about her health conditions but you felt a pang in your heart everytime you had to think about your mother's approaching end.

You and Jungkook decided not to have a big wedding ceremony. You had shifted into a new home for a fresh start and you both did a little ceremony there with the kids and both of your parents. You didn't wanted to wear a lavish gown so you just slipped on a silk dress. The kids decorated the backyard with balloons, flowers and other stuff they found.

Even though it didn't matter much but it brought you a certain peace to be called Jungkook's wife and the children's legal mother.

Your honeymoon lasted longer, since your first phase got cut short with all the stuff that happened. You and Jungkook weren't intimate for a couple of months after that but after the verdict came from the court and Jaesung was imprisoned you both started getting closer yet again. This time he was much more enthusiastic about it.

With bigger rooms and soundproof walls, you and Jungkook went on night after night making love to each other.

Your long phase of bliss had to end when you had to study for a course to get promoted at your job. It meant a lot to you and Jungkook knew that and he was the most supportive about it. You'd once thought about quitting when your mother started getting sick more often which restricted her from looking after the kids much but instead he hired a caretaker for her and pushed you to continue.

"Hey..." Jungkook came with his playful smile towards you as you were making the bed after two hours of studying nonstop, he wrapped his arms around your waist from the back.

"What..." you said trying to push him away.

"You tell what?" You ignored him and continued to arrange the pillows on the bed.

"Haven't you stopped bleeding yet?" He asked raising his eyebrow.

"I don't know Jungkook... I have been bleeding for eight days now... and its not even like period blood. I don't know what it is... what do I have to face now" you sat with a thud on the bed.

"We will go meet a doctor then... I'm sure it's just something hormonal you've been taking too much stress"

"But what if it's something else..."
He wrapped his arm around your shoulder and kissed the side of your head.
