HIS OBSESSION, HIS AMORE

chapter 8

Ara walked out of the exam hall, feeling confident and relieved. She had studied hard, and Jungkook's lessons had paid off. For one week, Jungkook had taught her tirelessly, explaining complex concepts and providing valuable insights. His dedication and patience had helped her grasp the material, and she was grateful.

With her exams behind her, Ara decided to meet Jungkook and thank him in person. She arrived at the agreed-upon location, but Jungkook was nowhere to be found. She waited for an hour, sending him messages and calling him, but there was no response. Ara felt a pang of disappointment and worry, wondering if everything was okay. If it was turning dark and she had to leave .

Unbeknownst to Ara, Jungkook was tied up in a series of scheduled meetings he had postponed to teach her. He had put his commitments on hold to help Ara, and now he was paying the price. Jungkook was sorry he couldn't meet Ara, but he hoped she would understand. Little did he know, Ara was already feeling confused and concerned about his sudden disappearance.

Jungkook's pov

I stared at my phone, my eyes scanning the numerous messages and missed calls from Ara. My gut twisted with guilt and anxiety. I had been so caught up in my meetings and commitments that I had completely forgotten about our planned meeting. And now, Ara was probably worried sick about me. I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on. I was fucked up, and I knew it.

I couldn't believe I had let things get this far. Ara had been counting on me, and I had let her down. I thought about all the times I had pushed her to focus, to work harder, and now I was the one who had messed up. I felt like a hypocrite. I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I needed to fix this, to make things right with Ara. But how? I should meet her now .

Ara decided to leave, thinking Jungkook would be busy for a while. She took the shortcut through the valley, a route she usually took to get home. As she walked, the trees seemed to close in around her, casting long, ominous shadows on the ground. Ara quickened her pace, feeling a shiver run down her spine.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. She spun around, and her heart sank. A group of rough-looking boys was closing in on her. "Hey, look what we have here," one of the boys sneered, his eyes roving over Ara's body. "What's a pretty girl like you doing all alone in a place like this?" Ara tried to stand tall, but her voice trembled.

"Please, just leave me alone," Ara begged, trying to back away. But the boys closed in, their faces twisted with cruel intentions. "Oh, we're just getting started," one of them sneered. Ara's eyes welled up with tears as she realized she was trapped. "Please, don't hurt me," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

The boys laughed, their eyes glinting with malice. One of them reached out to grab Ara's arm, but she jerked away, desperate to escape. "Let me go!" she cried, her voice hoarse with fear. But the boys just laughed, their grip tightening around her. Ara's heart was racing, and she knew she had to think fast if she wanted to get out of this situation alive.

Ara's eyes welled up with tears as the boys closed in around her. "Please, don't do this," she begged, her voice shaking.

One of the boys sneered. "Shut up and take off your clothes. We'll just take a video and then we'll leave you alone." Ara's eyes widened in horror. "No, please don't make me do that."

The boys laughed, their eyes glinting with malice. One of them reached out and grabbed Ara's coat, pulling it off her shoulders. Ara cried out, trying to cover herself with her arms.

"Jungkook," she whispered, thinking of the one person who might be able to save her. But Jungkook was nowhere to be found, and Ara was alone and vulnerable.
