Snow Prince [Mature]

#2

For the next few days Jaein was trying very hard to find a new apartment to rent, but all required her to pay three months' rent in advance. She didn't have that kind of money at the moment, especially after settling her parents' funeral. She was left pretty much penniless.

A week past very quickly...

Jaein packed her things and moved out of the apartment she called home for the past few years. She didn't want to make things difficult for the landlady, so she told her that she had already found a new apartment, when in actual fact she didn't have a place to stay in at all...

Jaein was walking around aimlessly with her luggage in toll. Clueless where she would be sleeping for the night...

She stood looking at the bright lights of the city, hundreds of people walking around shopping and having fun. But no one knew what the other was thinking or feeling. She felt very lonely suddenly... In a city full of people, yet she felt so lonely for the very first time in her life... Cos her parents were gone... She looked up in the sky.

Jaein's thoughts: Dad... Mum... How's life up there? Can you see me now? I miss you so much...

Jaein looked back down and a tear escaped from her eye. She wiped it away from her face and turned around to walk off, accidentally bumping into someone.

Jaein: I'm sorry...

And she wanted to walk off. But the person caught her hand and held her back. She looked up and realised that she had bumped into a group of hooligans. And they were not exactly very friendly looking.

Hooligan 1: Where do you think you are going after knocking into me?!!!

Jaein: I'm sorry... It was an accident... I didn't see you coming when I turned around...

Hooligan 2: Ha ha ha... This girl must be blind to not see the big boss of this area!!!

Jaein: ... I... I'm... really... really... sorry... sorry....

Hooligan 3: Big brother... this girl is quite pretty eh...

They start sniggering and gathering around Jaein. Jaein just stood still and didn't dare to move an inch, as she didn't know what they would do to her if she did.

Jaein (worriedly): Sorry... Sorry for banging into you.... Please... please... let me go...

Hooligan 1: I'll let you off for now... But what is a pretty girl like you doing out here alone so late at night huh? Shouldn't someone be accompanying you?

Jaein: Huh?

Hooligan 1 took the chance and grabbed Jaein into his arms. Jaein was shocked but she tried to push him away, but he was too strong.

Jaein: LET ME GO!!!! LET ME GO!!!! HELP!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!

As it was already quite late, the streets were already quite sparse and the passerbys were already quite far to hear her screams. And the cars driving by didn't even notice her being harassed by this group of hooligans as they had formed a circle around her.

Suddenly...

Jaejoong: Let. Her. Go. Now.

Everyone turned around and looked at Jaejoong. He was a few feet away from the hooligans and he was walking very calmly towards them. Jaein's eyes lit up with hope when she saw him, and tried to push the hooligan away from her for one last time, but to no avail.

Hooligan 3: Just who do you think you are? Talking to my big boss like this...

The hooligans gather around Jaejoong, with one still holding onto Jaein.
