The Run Away || Jungkook BTS

22. Ocean and Rain

Hyra POV
--The Next Afternoon--

*Song Reco: Life - Namjoon (available on soundcloud)*

I opened my eyes and coughed roughly as I sat up. I looked around and realized I was sleeping on a bench. My luggage placed under the bench to stay dry and my entire body soaking wet.

The rain looked like it wasn't going to die down any time soon, so I decided to pull out my rain coat and put away my umbrella.

I moved to a dry area under a tree and put on my rain coat. I place the hoodie on my head and started to wander while dragging my luggage.

As I kept walking, I reached a beautiful ocean area. It was getting cold but I still wandered towards the ocean. I sat close to the edge separating the earth and the water.

I breathed the cold air and let my wind flow in the wind. My hoodie being pushed back by the wind.

I let my feet dangle at the edge, swinging them up and down. As I was utterly calm, a wet drop dropped to my pants and even though the rain was spilling everywhere, I knew that wasn't rain.

I'm crying.

I slowly moved my hand up to my cheek and wiped my face, yet another tear came down, I tried to wipe again but another one and another one dropped to my cheek.

Soon enough, I was sobbing. My expression didn't change, not a frown or a smile in sight but just complete blankness.

"Why am I crying..?? Stop Hyra.." I kept wiping and wiping my phone tears but no use.

I gave up and let the tears fall. My hair becoming soaked, my rain coat feeling like a puddle and my heart gone.

I felt every drop of rain come to my head and coat.

"I'm not loved ..... I'm not wanted..... I'm... Nothing."

I stood up and walked towards the highest edge. Dragging my feet with every step, my hands dragging to my side and my heart become slower and slower.

I looked up to the sky and let the tears drag down to my chin and drip down to the floor.

"Jungkook.... Mom.... Juri... I know you don't love me."

I took a step closer to the edge and finally...

I jumped.

I took a deep exhale and closed my eyes completely shut until the feeling would be gone.

But nothing... I carefully opened my eyes and realized someone grabbed me by arm.

I was dangling off the cliff and was held by a man's hand. I focused my vision from all the rain and saw Jungkook holding on to me with every breath.

Rain and sweat dripping from him, veins pushing from his neck, he struggled to pull me up. My mind still blank and without thought, I was now on the ground.

Jungkook stood before me and took a deep breath to relax. "DONT EVER DO THAT!!!"

I flinched and clenched my hand into a fist, "WHY DID YOU STOP ME??!!"

"CAUSE, YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING YOU'll REGRET!!! I'M NOT GONNA LOSE YOU TO!!"

I got up from the ground and pushed him away and ran to the edge, I attempted to jump again but was stopped by Jungkook.

He held me in his arms as I tried to escape and jump off. I hit and punched his chest and arms, trying to push him away from me.

I kept hitting and hitting every hit getting weaker and weaker. I looked up to Jungkook's expression that had the eyes of pity.

"WHY?! WHY D..did you stop me?" My voice becoming weaker and weaker.

I kneeled on the floor and cried I. My hands. Jungkook kneeled also and hugged me tightly.

"Because, I love you and I know I pushed you into becoming a run away so soon, I know you have up your life and got disowned by your mom but no matter what... Please don't do this anymore... Please!"

He began to cry in my shoulder as he tried to hug me protectively.

If I left this world... I would be releasing myself but what about the people around me....

"I won't..." I said under my breath.

"I won't leave anymore.... I won't."
