Jennie's POV

"No. Mino please stop"

"Shut up! I know you want this too Jen. Just give in!"

"No!"

"NO!"

"Attorney! Are you alright?"

I turned my head to the voice that suddenly spoke

"Doc?"

I didn't even realize that I was panting and there were tears forming on the corner of my eyes

But seeing Doc first thing somehow and oddly gave me assurance

But still, recollections of what happened keeps on playing on my mind like a broken record no matter I try so hard to forget about it

Why does it have to happen now at all times? Call me a freak or something but the first thing that came into my mind is the BAR exam. Its something that I worked so hard for and I can't afford to be a failure

I feel like I will be incapacitated for at least a couple of days. I'm mad at him. I'm super mad at him! But at the same time I'm scared but I need to be strong

Good thing Doc came on time... wait Doc!

I turned my head to her again and I just realized that she is gently caressing my head while I was overthinking. No wonder its relaxing

She gave me a reassuring smile but worry is evident in her eyes

"Are you calm now?" She asked with a soft voice like I would break

"Yes. Are you okay?" I asked

"I should be the one asking you that"

"Honestly, no. Wait, where is he?!" I panicked at the thought of him coming for me again but Doc calmed me down by holding my hand

"Don't worry about him anymore okay? I already sent him to the police" she said and smiled giving me assurance but that's when I noticed her bandaged hand

"What happened?!" I asked

"Well, I got so mad that I punched him nonstop, so here are the end results" she responded laughing awkwardly

"Don't worry too much! I'm a doctor so I already tend to my wounds" she said showing me she's fine by waving her bandaged hand

"Aw" she winched in pain

"You're not okay! And anyways, have you eaten? The food I prepared for you...." I wasn't able to finish what I was saying when suddenly she hugged me

"You don't have to think about that. You should think about yourself and recover okay? I'm just here" she said softly again and I didn't even notice that my tears already fell

"Why are you like this? Just annoy me. Just argue with me. Maybe, just maybe everything will be back to normal. Maybe all of it will be undone. Maybe this was just all a bad dream and you annoying me will finally wake me up. Please......" I pleaded desperately

"I'll annoy you again. Don't worry" she said letting go of the hug and gave me a mischievous smile while her brows are traveling up and down so I hit her arm

"Aw!"

"I take it back!" I said crossing my arms on my chest

"But Attorney, can I ask who is he?" She asked. I understand that she's curious. This is not the first time she saw him after all

"I'm only gonna tell you because you saved me" I said cockily

"Thank you, your highness, I'm honored" she responded with all the gestures placing her hand on her heart and bowing lightly and that made me laugh. At this point I'm like a crazy person that cries and then laughs

I can't be grateful enough that she's here

"He's my ex. We broke up. I broke up with him" I started and she just nodded her head encouraging me to continue

"He courted me for a year. It was so long that I felt bad, or maybe he made me feel that way, guilt tripping me. So one day, I finally allowed him to be my boyfriend. Honestly, it did not feel any different, we just had a label thats all. He was a good guy, really. He was sweet and made effort but I guess it was all an act to cover the fact that he is a cheater" I stopped for a while to see her reaction but she's just attentively listening to me

"I'm not even sure if I loved him. Maybe it was my fault to begin with. I was just too focused on my studies. I caught him cheating and I broke up with him. Or maybe it was my fault he cheated because he had a boring girlfriend"

"You're not boring. I don't find you boring. I enjoy being with you" she said out of nowhere and caught me off guard. I felt my cheeks heating up

"Thank you for your unsolicited opinion" I said and she just giggled. But it really made my heart flutter. I honestly thought that I was boring

"Anyways, he kept on bothering me to get back with him after we broke up. He was stalking me and following me everywhere and sometimes he's outside my door waiting for me. I honestly pitied him that I was about to just get back with him when I found out that he has a new girlfriend but is still not leaving me alone. That's when I concluded that he's just really a plain cheater. I blocked him on all my accounts, including his number but then he's still randomly appearing at my doorstep. That's why I do my best to avoid him even though it was just some coincidence that we're at the same place"

"And now this. He suddenly barged in here, reeking of alcohol and attacked me. Still wanting to get back together"

"It sounds like you had a tough time" she stated

"I did"

"Then you did well. I'm proud of you" she said and then again my tears fell

She cupped my cheeks, trying to wipe my tears away and smiling warmly at me

"It's not easy to be in that situation. You were with such a complicated person, you're studying not just any course and now, you're doing your best to be strong. It's tiring, exhausting, draining but still, you're doing a great job. You should also be proud of yourself. On top of that, you were cooking for me!" That made me laugh again

But it helped

It helped to stop my tears

It helped to conquer my fear

It helped to make me believe and trust in myself

It helped to lighten the burden that I was carrying all this time

Who would have thought that out of all the people, she will be the one to make me feel this

It gave me courage

I guess it wont take days to recover after all
