Chapter 92

A/N:

People! Gather 'round! 'Tis here!!!

I'm soooo excited that the story is progressing everyone! If you had any idea how giddy I get when I'm writing... I feel like a school girl with a crush. I could do this full time. Like seriously. Nothing I do makes me as happy as I feel when I'm writing.

As alwayyys, I'd appreciate it very much if you guys can comment and share your thoughts about the story and how it's progressing with me. Honestly the whole point I'm writing on this site instead of just privately is the comments. They keep me excited and motivated for more! So please please just comment! 

Also, I might have have messed up the tenses in these chapters that are happening in their past. Forgive me for that, the chapters are as always unedited.

Now go go go! Enjoy Chapter 92~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You're an 8 year old boy?" – Jungkook double checks and gets a little nod in return. He was still unsure of what his next course of action should be. He needed to come up with a plan; now. There was a child, who appeared to be terribly afraid of being touched, alone in a club swarming with drunk and horny people who are all too eager to grab and grind on the net stranger. This was not ideal, not ideal at all.

"Is that why you were asking for V? Is he like a guardian that guides you when you're out?"

Another nod is what Jungkook gets, the words of this fascinating person seeming to have become scarce.

"Where is V now? He was just here. Isn't he in there with you?"

"No. He's not answering no matter how much I call for him." – Taetae finally speaks letting Jungkook know of his worries.

"Taetae, I think he might have passed out. We were drinking together. And then he just lied back on this couch and it seemed like he was just resting his eyes. But I'm guessing he passed out from too much alcohol. I don't think he's going to be around for a while."

Taetae's lip jutted out in fear and sadness at the thought being alone in this situation. What was he going to do? He just couldn't be alone right now. This was a nightmare.

That was a cute pout if Jungkook had seen one. No, it was the cutest.

"Look Taetae, if you can trust me, I will help you and take you back to where I'm staying until V is back and you feel safe." – Jungkook asked as he looked into Taetae's eyes, doing his darnedest to convey honesty and a promise of safety and protection. Taetae looked back into them, deeply, as though trying to find lies and deceit, back he couldn't find any. But could he trust an absolute stranger with his safety? Does he have the option not to? He didn't know. What he did know was that V enjoyed his company enough and to some extent trusted him enough to drink to the brink of death around him. So maybe that meant something. Maybe he would be okay if he stayed with this man. But honesty though, sometimes he had to wonder; between the three of them, was he really the irresponsible child? One tapped out at the first sign of danger, one didn't have any sense of danger and here he was. Color him disappointed.

"I can see you're very uncomfortable and scared Taetae. We can stay here and I'll keep you company until V is back. I won't leave you on your own, if you're okay with staying here. And if you would like to leave I can take you back to my hotel room and you can stay there until you need to." – Upon hearing that, Taetae's eyes widened in fear, so Jungkook was quick to clarify –"I know that sounds bad. But I can't offer anything else. So you make the decision you're comfortable with and we do that, okay?"

Taetae was frightened. How could he not be? His choices were: Stay in a club full of people who couldn't care less what happened to him, with a stranger who may or may not have been willing to help him, or leave with said stranger and be alone in a hotel room with a high possibility of danger.

"Can I have a minute to think about it?" – Taetae asks with hopeful eyes. It was imperative he thought about it. This was not a decision he could make on a whim.

"Of course you can Taetae. I know my words are just that, words, and my promises mean nothing because I'm a stranger. I know it's going to go against you're every fiber to trust someone you met two seconds ago. But I really can't offer you any other type of help. I don't know who I can call for you. V said he was alone. And we're both in a foreign country. Do you know if there's someone I can call for you?"

Taetae could hear genuine worry in Jungkook's voice. But was that enough to trust him? He was never meant to be in this situation!

"No, we don't have anyone we trust at all. We're always alone. We only have each other."

Jungkook's heart broke. It really, truly broke for this guy. Taetae was so sad. He could see it clear as day.

"I'm sorry to hear that Taetae. But honest to God, I just want to help you." – And a thought just forms in his head. – "I'll tell you what. I have pepper spray with me. Do you know what that is?"

Taetae nods remembering how for a time Taehyung used to never leave the house without having it with him.

"Okay that's great."

Jungkook lies back a little and sticks his hand down his pocket to retrieve the bottle and present it to Taetae. Once he has it in his hand, he carefully brings it closer to the boy and waits for him to grab it. When Taetae only stares at it and back at him, he continues to say – "I'm giving it to you so you can feel like you have some way to protect yourself, even against me."

Taetae's eyes widen at that. Was this man giving him the only weapon to protect himself if need be? He couldn't help shaking his head in refusal. He couldn't do that.

"Taetae, I'm giving this to you as a gesture of goodwill and show of good faith. Once you have this, regardless if we're staying or leaving, you can protect yourself from anyone you're afraid of, even if it is me. This way, it's not just about you trusting me; it's also about having a sense of security. But that's the only one I have so if we're both in danger, you're going to have to save us both." – Jungkook says and gives Taetae a small, harmless smile.

Taetae extends a trembling arm, which tugs at Jungkook's heartstrings, and takes the bottle from him.

"And that's not the only weapon you have." – Jungkook continues and points a finger at Taetae's body. – "You may have the mind of an 8 year old, but you have the body of an adult, of a man. You look pretty strong. So don't just count on that. If you need to, you attack and you cause damage. Okay?" – Jungkook states with a larger smile that triggers a giggle out of Taetae.

God, that sound; it was heavenly. Jungkook made a subconscious mental note to do anything he can to hear it as often as possible while he had this enigma of man's company.
