5. Orphan boy

It's him

Jeon Jungkook

The orphan. His parents died when he was ten years old from fire. His custody was given to his long-distance aunt, who only used him as a free servant. She is a total witch. Only cares about money, drugs, and sex, which has made his life a living hell.

I knew him because he was the easiest target for the kids here. He was a genius who got into our St. James Xander school by scholarship. I've seen him a few times getting bullied, but I've never cared. He had reached his limit of tolerance and decided to end his life. I was in Paris that time watching my sister's performance there and determined to ruin it

My ex-bestfriend Amy called and told me then said guys were now bored cause their only entertainment source is gone now. I didn't give a damn cause I was so disturbed and determined to overshadow my sister.

I look at his skinny five-foot-eight-inch figure, quite tall for a sixteen-year-old boy. His face is filled with bruises and pimples. Even those huge glasses can't hide his black, bruised eye. His hair covered his forehead with fresh-cut marks. He is too skinny and definitely doesn't get enough food properly. His body is still shaking.

I hold his wrist and start to drag him,  "You need to get first aid."

He is too vulnerable to say anything.

"Sit, remove your hoodie and glass. "

He slowly sits down. His shaky hands are trying to remove his hoodie. He is wearing a white sleeveless shirt beneath a hoodie

I grasp at the slight. T-this is so inhuman. What the hell. Cuts and beating marks, old and new, were clearly visible in his arms, neck, face, and everywhere.

I'm so sorry to ignore you in my past life, you don't deserve it, Kyros.

I look at him, his grey eyes are already staring at me with an unreadable expression. I sigh and start to clean his wounds. I can feel his eyes on me the entire time.

"Why?" he asked with a shaky voice

"You never cared until now. Is it a sick game of yours or just trying not to get into trouble? If I died from there.... the police would have also questioned you because you were also at the rooftop. Why didn't you let me die?" His face is still unreadable

"Because I was an illusional bitch who was chasing after something vain and meaningless. I was so blinded by it. Now that I've opened my eyes, I started to see the real surroundings."

She looked at how his eyes were trying to observe her every move. When she spoke those words she noticed Jungkook was trying to see through her soul.

Y/n put her hand into her pocket, took out a chocolate bar, and placed it in his hand. Confused Jungkook looked at it. It felt so foreign to him, nevertheless, it brought water to his mouth.

The last time he ate was two days ago, a sandwich. The last time he had chocolate was when his parents were alive. His dad would bring him a less expensive one. Even though his parents were poor they loved him.

Y/n has left after giving him the chocolate. Jungkook wasted no time before unwrapping it and savouring the treat. He wonders when his next meal will be. Will he be able to eat it again? Just a chocolate feels like heaven to this poor boy.

Y/n's pov

After school, I went to the company. As soon as I arrived, Development department head Jackson threw the new project into my hands. He was very strict at work, who wants no mistakes.

A great leader he is. When he took a project, he made sure everyone around him got comfortable showing their ideas. He always unites the team. I've been learning so much from him.

Jackson has been giving me projects to handle, from simple ones to complicated ones. He shows me no special treatment just because I'm a Kang. But I have to say he is very hard to impress.

I'm not here to impress him anyway but I can tell he is satisfied with my work. This middle-aged man is giving me hard work to test my limits. I'm sure my uncle is well aware of it and asked Jackson to test my limits.

Well, not that I complain. I'm going to become the CEO of this multi-billion-dollar real estate company, so I need to prove my worth.

Before sleeping, I took my phone and started to scroll. I stopped at the news
"Kim Taehyung was seen at the event of his Fiance Roseanne Kang."

A weird feeling, a bit of sadness, a bit of anger, and disappointment. So many years running after this man. Giving it my heart and soul It's still hard to let go. I had been in love with him for my whole lifetime.

But in this lifetime I'll never let these stupid feelings get in my way of success.
