HIS PERPETRATOR |TK|

PAST

It was almost midnight by the time Jungkook reached Seoul. He came out of the train and looked left and right with wide doe eyes.

Now, what he'll do here in this big city. He doesn't know anyone here. How is he supposed to survive in this big city with his daughter all alone.

He breathes a deep sigh and starts walking out of the station. He draped a blanket around Soo-Rah to keep her warm. He was walking in a dark street. Not many people are present there. He was feeling dread while walking in that dark street. He tightened his hold on his daughter and continued striding forward while looking behind him to make sure that no one was behind him.
He was being paranoid.

As he was walking, he heard footsteps other than him from behind. He became alert and started walking with fast steps. The person behind him also started walking fast. Jungkook slightly turned his head back and saw a figure walking behind him. He quickly looked ahead and started running from there. The person also started running behind him.

He turned the street and then took left again, dodging from the person's sight.
He was still running. He looked behind him to see if that person is still behind him or not, because of that he didn't saw a stone ahead and tripped on it which caused him to fell on the ground on his knees.

"Aghh." He fell hard on his knees, but thank God his daughter is fine. He looked down at his daughter when he heard a voice.

"Hey, are you okay?"

He looked up at the person with his wider, fearsome eyes and cower away from him.

"Hey, you don't need to fear me. I mean no harm to you." The person stated, and Jungkook felt the sincerity in his voice, and also he didn't get any bad vibes from the person, but still he didn't let his guard down.

Soon, he heard a sound of crying and looked down to see her daughter crying . He cradled her in his arms to make her stop crying but of no use, and to see her crying like that made him cry as well.

"It's already very late. If you don't mind, you can come with me to my house. It's not very far from here." The person softly said. Jungkook looked at him and felt a kind of relief after looking at his soft smile. He feels kind of safe in the presence of this person, but he also doesn't want to repeat the same mistake he did years back by trusting a stranger. But not every person is like that, right? And moreover this person is looking harmless.

Jungkook contemplated for some time but gave on to the offer. He stood up on his feet and looked at the person in front of him. He bowed to him and said,

"Thank you.....

"Kin seokjin." The other person introduced himself.

"Thank you seokjin h-hyung." Jungkook timidly said. Jin smiled softly at that.

"You can call me hyung. I don't mind." He said softly, at which Jungkook also smiled a soft smile.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Jungkook." He said in a low voice.

"Hmm, nice name."

After that, they started walking ahead. Jin was walking ahead of Jungkook. Jungkook just had single thoughts in his mind, and that is,

"Plaese God. Don't make me regret following this stranger and trusting him."

And it felt like God listened to his pleading, and this decision turned out to be the best. He doesn't regret trusting Jin. He is the best person he has encountered until now. He took care of him whenever he got panicked attacks and also took care of her daughter whenever he was sick.

For the first time in his life, he felt content and happy after meeting someone. Well, it's not the first time, but he doesn't want to remember the previous one.

Well, life was going well. He was in the process of healing with the help of Jin. After spending three years in hell and getting assaulted day and night, it fucked up his mental state, and it took a lot of time for him to get out of that state and he is thank full to have Jin in that time of his life by his side. He was a stranger, but it came out to be more than that. He was like an elder brother who he never had. Who took care of him and protected him just like an elder brother is supposed to do.

But everything doesn't stay for long. When Jin looked at Jungkook's condition, he felt so sad and worried. He used to get panic attacks almost every time. So he took him for a therapy session that was the worst decision he ever took.

Jungkook was going for the therapy for almost a week, and he observed that instead of getting better, his condition was getting worse. So one day, he went to the clinic when Jungkook had his appointment with the doctor. He went inside and went to the doctor's room. The receptionist present there tried to stop him, but he didn't stop and barged inside the room, and his breath hitched after what he saw in front of him.

Jungkook was lying on the couch crying, and his shirt was torn while the doctor was on top of him, forcing himself on the boy.

Jin clenched his fingers in a fist and woth a long stride went towards them and grabbed the doctor from his collar and started throwing punches on his face making him bleed. He was continuously punching his face but stopped when he heard a small whimper.

He looked behind him and saw Jungkook crying while covering his body. He dropped the half conscious body of the doctor on the floor and went towards him and embraced him in his arms. Jungkook tightly clutched his shirt in his fists and cried harder on his chest.

"Shh, calm down. You're safe now. Hyung's here." Jin said, sweet, nothing in his ears while cradling him in his arm to make him stop crying. After he calmed down, he detached himself from the hug and looked at the boy in his arms. He softly cupped his face.

"Are you okay. He didn't do anything, right?" He softly asked Jungkook, at which he again started crying.

"H-he....h-he......

He was chocking on his sobs, not able to say a word. Jin stopped him from saying anything and said,

"Shhh, you don't have to hyumg understood." He said, and a drop of tear rolled down his eyes.

He looked at the doctor with rage in his eyes. He'll make sure that he'll pay for his doings.

After going from there, Jin filed a case against the doctor and receptionist for helping him in all this. He was glad that police took action against him and arrested the doctor, and that receptionist.

Jin then took care of Jungkook himself and made sure to keep him in a peaceful environment. Soo-Rah also helped him as her cute blabbering and cute actions made him laugh heartily and stopped him from going into depression.

It was always his daughter who helped him in his difficult times, and it's just because of her that he is alive to date.
