The Liar And Her Love

Chapter 75:

Oct'33
Taeri

I was angry, my mother was a narcissist, she abused me emotionally and physically, I was Gaslighted and driven insane.

Seeing Rona hurt like this today triggered something in me. Is this how I looked after I angered her because I demanded respect? Is this how I looked when I went through and people were still able to ignore me.

We were at the police station, the guys were in the cell and I was with Jimin infront of the police officer. His hand was on mine over my thighs, holding my hands as tight as it could get.

I heard the sound of the chair moving and looked up to see an officer take seat on the chair.

"Good morning, I'm officer Kim Minhyuk, I'll be taking your witness statement. The father is arrested and the mother is terminally Ill at Yeonsei hospital, can I know your relationship with the victim?" He asked us and I kept quiet when Jimin spoke.

"She is her friend's elder sister and guardian and I'm her boyfriend, we'll be taking care of her as of now" Jimin said and the police officer nodded.

"I'm also her employer, she works as an intern for me"I added.

"The reports said, her father was already on probation after being held for illegal migration 2 weeks ago, are you aware of this?"

"We aren't" Jimin isn't a bad liar.

"How did you not notice that he wasn't missing for two weeks?" And this is when I looked up and decided to answer.

"Her father beats her up, I don't think she would care or be worried about him returning only for him to beat the shit out of her and try to sell her to a random goon. Put your priorities straight, just tell how do we make sure Rona doens't see the face of that shitty man ever again." I asked with so much anger.

I will not let another me fend for herself until the very end when she is so young.

The police officer sighed.

"It will cost a lot of money, the abuse could be proved easily since we have a lot of evidence, however her only parent other than her father is terminally I'll, since there are not a lot of child foster centres in our country, she will be either out into an orphanage or the prosecutor will simply put the father in probation, community service and she will be out with her again" the police officer said and I paused.

I looked at him "she isn't going to foster care or back to her father. He will not be charged for abuse, it's attempted murder, child trafficking and possibly forced prostitution. That man better be in jail for a eternity" I said and the man looked at me, I looked at Jimin and as if he read me his grip tightened, I took a huge breath and looked back at the officer.

"I will apply for the temporary guardianship immediately, by tomorrow my lawyers will officially start the process for permanent guardianship of Bae Rona." I felt my inner child heal when I said that. I will protect her no matter what.

.

We walked out of the station with Jimin on my side. My lawyer walked to my side.

"We will immediately work on it, I believe looking at her circumstances, it won't be an issue and we will be defending Bae Rona at court" he said and bowed to us.

We reciprocated greetings and he left.

"So you are going to be her guardian now?" Jimin asked and I looked at him.

"I should have thought it through. I just couldn't think of anything else" I could barely speak when Jimin grabbed me and pulled me towards him before hugging me very tight.

"Calm down, you protect everyone all the time. I'll protect you today" he said and I chuckled.

He pulled back and looked at me. "Trust me Taeri, You are not your mother. You are infact the best mother, trust me there will be kids who will always be grateful of you." I just kept looking at him.

All of us this, seems like a pitcher dream. Jimin, I and just everything.

"I love you"

"God, I love you toooo" he said hugging me tighter.

"Do you want to stay over at my home?" He asked and I nodded.

"You are my home" I said and he chuckled before we walked towards Ryan's car.

As Jimin drove the car, I opened the roof and the cold air hit us.

My hair flew, the air hit us, while I was beside him. I think I can take on Godzilla right now with how powerful I feel beside him.
