Forgiven? Forgotten?

Chapter 18

"Yeah, we have the hoodies"
The staff told y/n while she nodded

Jungkook had brought her along with him to shop.
He didn't really need her except to carry his stuff around.

He was already sitting there,
"Go and ask them if they have this in red"
He announced while Y/n nodded following his orders

..

The man incharge brought a few pieces of hoodies,

While Jung kook was trying to look through them all, Y/n had this urge of letting him know that the colour would not look that appealing with his skin tone, he should take darker shades or maybe he should go with a rusted tone..
Her stylist designer eyes couldn't see him choose just anything.

"U...umm sir.. sir.."
Jungkook looked at her raising his eyebrows

"..I.. a d...darker shade would suit you even better.."
She eyed the hoodie in his hand and then his face
Which looked at her with no expression

"I didn't hear myself asking you your opinion you fatass!"
He commented and she looked down just nodding

It's okay
He doesn't mean it
He's a bangtan member .. he .. he's just hurt

She didn't want to cry and appear all hurt.

After a few things bought here and there..
y/n walked with her hands full of stuff.
Her body tired and legs on the verge of giving up but jungkook seemed to be too energetic to stop and even ask her for anything.

...

"Turn on the damn AC!"
Came in Jungkook's voice while he sat back relaxing in the car and having Y/n drive it.

Her muscles already sore and crying for relaxation, with her stomach grumbling.

"Drop me at the dorm, and go to my apartment, and get me my shoes"
He suddenly said with closed eyes and head leaning on the headrest..

She just nodded annoyingly
..

After dropping him at the dorm.. and leaving the car at the parking lot just at the building..

She sat at the bus stop waiting for the bus..
He was too rude to her.
It was almost evening and she hadn't had anything

But it seemed god was on her side today when she heard honking..
She turned to find a car to which she stood up surprisingly walking towards it ..
And the moment the window rolled down she looked around

"Mr. Min! No! You cannot.. please put on your mask again!" She looked around and tried covering his side of the window to while Yoongi chuckled ..
He pulled up his mouth mask

"Get inside .. they won't know it's me"
He said
"I... I'll go by bus sir, you can leave.."
"I don't like repeating myself Y/n, get in. Im already hungry" he said and she sat on the passenger seat.

She looked at Yoongi who now had his eyes on the road as the car moved..

"Put on the seatbelt Y/n, and tell me where should we go to eat?"
Y/n looked at Yoongi confused while putting on the seatbelt

"What?" Yoongi looked at her direction
".. I...I'm fine sir.."
"Okay Miss. fine, I'm hungry as fuck okay? So just come and accompany me" he spoke in an authoritative tone

She just nodded while Yoongi sped off.

They stopped infront of a decent looking Chinese place.
"You like Chinese right?" Yoongi looked at her and Y/n nodded shyly looking at her lap.

"Are you always this shy y/n? Come on! You have to be taking care of me!" Yoongi chuckled making Y/n turn to him in shock..

"I mean I'm the celeb here! You can't be the one being shy!" He said and she nodded getting down.

..

They had settled on the private area of the restaurant..
Y/n sipping on the water while the food was being prepared.

"Are you doing good now? Do you have any pain?"
Yoongi started the conversation
"U...umm.. y.. yes sir I'm doing alright"
She smiled

His eyes went towards her face.
The faded mark on her forehead, that cut on her cheek which was still covered with a bandaid.. slight red hue on the corner of her lip..

There were too many bruises on her face.. faded.. healed... and then her neck all covered with brown blue faded scars..

Feeling eyes on her neck Y/n pulled the collar of her jacket close to her nevk, trying to cover it.

"I..I am sorry I didnt mean to stare. You're beautiful"
His eyes not looking at her anymore while y/n was completely caught off guard.

He wasn't mocking her.. was he?
He looked serious but..

"Don't overthink Y/n! You're gorgeous. Just because some stupid kid like Jungkook doesn't admit it .. you have no right to value yourslef less"

Y/n stared at the table her eyes filling with tears..
she just nodded listening to him

"T...thank you"

They were interrupted by the waiter serving them the food

"Y/n, I know it must've been so tough for you to be tolerating this sort of treatment from the company and jungkook doesn't exactly make it any better for you"
Yoongi asked feeling a sort of guilt creeping into his heart which made Y/n look at Yoongi

"..u...s..sir... everyone says I'm the culprit, I m..might've st...s...stabbed ..T...tae.. Mr. Kim.. why.. why do you trust me so much?"
Her eyes were too serious.
She was looking straight into his eyes, her face devoid of any expressions

"You cannot be a culprit. You wouldn't be tolerating all this if you were. You can't even look anyone in the eyes. You didn't enjoy being a part of the celeb world. You hate being here... and I .. I am sorry I cannot do anything for you but trust me.. I'm waiting for Tae to come as soon as possible so everyone can see the truth?"
Yoonhi spoke now sipping onto water

Y/n just smiled

What more harm was to be done?
What could taehyung even prevent now?
