chapter 6 (guardian angel)

Jungkook

"Why don't you learn to shut the fuck up sometimes Jungkook-ah? " huffed the tall man to himself... annoyed by how the situation with the small boy had changed that quickly , he had hurt him, and he felt damn guilty about it ..
God ..!
He certainly was unaware of how to treat people,
"You caused him to leave , you idiot, he is just a kid, if anything happens to him after leaving your shitty place ,It will be your fucking fault ,"

Why did he care so much though?
Jihoo was just a simple boy that Jungkook had helped him out of the sense of humanity...
You know ? Just human instinct...
"Oh, shut up now, Jk...
Since when you've become so fucking soft?"

Aishh...he was going nuts...
He hadn't slept that much last night since the small boy was moaning loud in pain every so often ... breaking the deafening silence the tall man was used to...
It was new .! Having someone here , someone excluding themselves..
A delicate pale little boy who seemed so vulnerable that made the tall man desire to protect him ...
But now ,Jungkook was standing here behind the closed doors , waiting for that helpless boy to get ready to go and never come back ..

What the fuck .!
Why was he caring that much ?
He was not going to see that boy again?
So what ?
It wasn't like he hadn't so much on his fucking plate already anyway..
Yes ! He had more important shit to be worried about right now instead of standing here and blaming himself because of a touchy little boy who was irritated about being called a child ..

Jungkook was struggling...
On one hand ,that stinging sensation of desperately wanting to protect the small boy was there , on the other hand he didn't want to care about him at all , wanted him to leave and make his everyday fucking boring life back..
That stinging sensation prevailed though ..!

He couldn't stand there anymore ...
Left the house and jumped skillfully up the roof ..
His hideaway ,
He was used to lying up on the gable roof ,watching the sky and thinking ...
Now was one of that moments that he needed that peace ,so...

He heard some rustling sound and immediately opened his eyes ...
His lips curled up in a soft smile when he saw that small cute boy walking in Jungkook's oversized clothes ... looking even smaller ..
Saw the way the small boy looked around to probably find a sign of the taller male , not waiting so much though, he dipped his head down and the minute later , he was gone .!

****************

"Who the fuck are you ? His fucking dad ?"

"I'll make sure to show you who the fuck I am ,now get your fucking hands off him or I'll kick your ass right fucking now ,you pervert..!"

The man looked at his friends , the three of them simultaneously broke out into laughter, not letting go of the small shaking boy's chin ,

OK now ... this was the permission Jungkook was looking for ...they were boozy ,drunk as hell, it meant that if the taller male beat the shit out of them they wouldn't even remember it tomorrow ... perfect !
He got closer, cracking his neck , taking one more glimpse at the sight of the small boy ,and then ...he fought , delivering the first punch to the face of the bastard grabbing Jimin's chin , the man lost his balance and fell over his back like a fucking cockroach...!
At that , the boy was free ,so he took some wobbly steps and absentmindedly hid himself behind his savior's broad back .
Jungkook looked at him over his shoulders ...

"You OK kid ?"

"Y... yeah ,"

"Stay close to me," he ordered.

Jimin nodded , so relieved at the idea of the tall man being here trying to protect him ..
Why was he here, though?
Was it just an accident?
How probable was that ? Jungkook being at the same avenue as he was, in the middle of the night, in a damn dark cold night that nobody could even see himself, let alone recognize the face of someone who they see for nearly two days .
Nonetheless, Jimin was happy Jungkook was here ...
He couldn't imagine what would have happened to him if he wasn't.
