She's My Angel { A Jumin X Reader} ✓

VI.

Your POV
I hid under the covers of my bed. Tears were streaming down, soaking my bedsheets. Footsteps came towards my bed. "Y/N," My father spoke in a calm tone. "Sorry about last night. I was drunk." He sat down on the foot of my full sized bed. Refusing to say a word, I turned myself into a ball. "You must be furious with me." He mumbled. 'No duh!' He pulled my covers back revealing my depressed state. "I know that you are twenty-three, but I want you stay my little girl." He pulled me into a warm hug. "I brought bandages for your eye." He held them in front of my eyes. "Want me to put them on for you?" He asked in a cheerful tone. I snatched the bandages away from him. "I can do it myself." I lashed out at him. He scurried out of my room.

The sun peeked through my window. I rubbed my eyes. "I see someone has woken up." A familiar voice filled the silence. I turned my head to see Jumin sitting in the armchair in the opposite corner of my room. "W-What are you doing here?!" I shouted in shock. "You're going to live with me," Jumin said in a strict tone. "H-Huh?!" I exclaimed. 'Jumin, what the hell are you talking about?! I just woke up!!' Jumin walked towards me. He brushed the bangs away from my bandaged eye. "You're hurt, Y/N. If you stay here longer, the lashes will be worse." My eyes averted away from Jumin's and were glued the scars of my wrist. 'Jumin is right. I have to leave, but this is all so sudden.' My eyes moved back to Jumin's. "M-May I stay another day with my father?" Jumin let out a sigh of frustration. "You're being stubborn, but I'll let you stay." A small smile formed on my lips. Jumin interrupted my small praise. "I'll let you stay until nine." Jumin left my bedroom.

After getting dressed, I made my way downstairs to the dining area. Jumin was sitting across from my usual seat. My father watched me take my normal seat. "Good morning, father," I said to break the silence. My father straightened his green tie and let out a crude sigh. "Good morning, Y/N." He set two plates of pancakes on the table. One for me and the other for Jumin. "I must take my leave." My father rushed out of the house. Silence took over the dining area.

"You seem emotional? Is something wrong?" Jumin said as he sat next to me on the sofa. I kept my eyes focused on the blank tv screen in front of me. "You know the television isn't on, right?" Jumin said as if I was stupid. I let out a sigh in defeat. "He's just bothering me," I said pulling my bangs in front of the bandage. "You miss the bond with your father," Jumin stated in a dark tone. His eyes were focused on my wrist. "You let your loneliness consume you because he's always busy." My heart began to race. He understands me. Jumin adjusted his posture. "That's why you need a cat!" Jumin pulled out his phone, showing me a photo of Elizabeth the 3rd. 'The cat from the chatroom!' I opened my mouth to say something, but Jumin cut me off. "If you lived with me then we can share her. I somehow trust you with her." A warm smile appeared on Jumin's lips. A tiny line of pink rolled on my skin. "Let's go for a walk." Jumin winked as he stood up. He let out his hand for me to grab onto. "S-Sure." I took his hand in mine.

Our walk led us to the heart of Downtown South Korea. So many people were around on dates. Since our walk was basically silence, I chose to break it up. "Um Jumin, why exactly were you at my place earlier?" I asked him. Jumin focused his eyes on the men's clothing place where we first collided. A little smirk broke on his lips. "Your eye was bruised." He turned his head towards me. "Since you live alone with your father, it is most likely for him to abuse you." My hands began to tremble. I tucked them in my pocket, hiding them from Jumin. "He was drunk." I turned my head avoiding Jumin's stare. Jumin turned my head to face me. "It is likely possible that he'll strike you again. That's why you're staying with me from now until we find you a place." I let out a sigh of defeat. "You're right." Another small smile came across his face. "Now, let's cheer up!!"
