"Jungkook." Her voice came out soft as she called his name. Her gaze dropped down to their hands before looking at him.

When he raised his head and looked up at her, she noticed his eyes. They were almost red shot telling her how much he was controlling himself.

Her heart squeezed in pain and concern as she took a step towards him and stood in front of him. "It's okay." She whispered trying her best to give him comfort but his next words made her still as she listened.

"I killed my biological dad when I was 12." Her eyes widened as she noticed the blankness in his eyes, everytime he surprised her.

Gathering all the courage she had left in her, she moved her free hand and touched the side of his safe listening to him. "Mr Jeon... He is not my real dad." His voice was so soft as he felt scared of her rejecting him. "I was adopted." He stated.

"Jungkook." She didn't know what to say except his name, her thumb gently brushed against his skin.

"I know it's fucked up but please..." He averted his eyes down at her hands as he held them before pushing them to wrap around him as he leaned in and rested his head against her stomach. "Don't hate me." It was a whisper enough for her to hear and feel the pain it carried. "I can't survive without you." Him confessing and showing his feelings made her tighten his hold around him. "Nobody above you." He closed his eyes as he prepared himself for the next words he wanted to say.

"I'm here... I'm listening." Her soft voice and her hand caressing the back of his head made him to wrap his arms around her.

"And I will burn the world just to make you smile because..."

Y/N knew he would do that without any thought and it almost brought a small smile making her feel stupid yet special. Her heart almost stopped when he parted his lips to speak those magical words.

"I fucking love you, Little Rose."

Her body stilled and he must had felt her stiffened as he pulled back and raised his head, looking at her to see her reaction. Her lips were parted as she moved her gaze down to his and her breath almost ran out as she noticed the softness and shine in his eyes.

"Do you?" She didn't know why she asked this. Maybe she wanted to him to be sure of his words as she noticed him holding her hand and bringing it up to place a kiss on it.

"I'm not lying." He murmered against her hand as he closed his eyes and let his forehead attach to her hand. She took a step closer as she rested her other hand on his shoulder, making him to move away and look at her.

"I swear. I'm not lying. I would never lie about that. I'm sure of what I feel." He reassured her as she didn't know what to say because all she felt was overwhelmed.

"Let me." He asked for her permission pulling her closer to hold her as she nodded. Not wasting the time, he pulled her onto his lap as she straddled him.

"I don't know what to say." Her gaze moved down to his hand holding her against his chest.

"Then don't say anything. Just listen to me." Jungkook moved his hand and held her chin, his thumb brushing her chin. "Please." She nodded as he gave her a faint smile before tugging her hair behind her ear.

The hesitation in his body language and the hatred in his eyes confused her. "Don't hate me, Little Rose." The plead in his voice caused her to hold his face.

She realized that the hatred in his eyes was for himself.

The hesitation was for being hated by her.

It was the war inside him.

And she was ready to hold him through the chaos.

"My father was not a good man." He turned his gaze away as he remembered all the bitter memories. "He said he loved my Mama. He said he cared for my Mama. But all he did was lying. While he fed me, he starved her. When he bought all good things for me, he took away everything from her." The slight crack in his voice was not gone unnoticed by her.
