Rain | Jeon Jung Kook

04

He was dragged at the school old ground and he was pushed on broken glass. He almost like a dead fish, but a girl saved him; and he knew who is that girl. She was a girl with a moon pendant. He just wanted to find her.

End of flashback.

"But, can you fight back? And why the hell she asked her boyfriend to beat you but the truth is she cheated on you" Iseul wondered.

"Okay, your hand is done. And now, tell me your story." Jungkook dragged her out from his topic. He wanted to know hers.

"What do you want to know?"

"Why did your cousin treat you like that? And your grandmother too?"

"I don't know."

"Then, until when you want to let them treat you like that?"

"I don't know."

"Why did your answer was short? Mine was like a whole throw back."

"Jeon Jungkook, I didn't ask you to. I need to go home. I really have to go." Iseul stood up and walked to her home.

"But, we are not finish yet."

"See you this Monday, if you want to. Jeon Jungkook" with the last bid, Iseul slowly faded off from Jungkook's eyes.

She can't be seen out for too long; her grandmother didn't like it. Once she opened the door, the grandmother was waiting for her; with the belt. While, Areum stood next to her waiting for the torture began.

"Where were you?" she asked; with a whip on Iseul's calves. Her throat was too raw to speak. Iseul gritted her teeth as she tried to endure the pain. The bruises start to appear.

"You go out with boy huh?" Her grandmother screamed. Iseul just shook her head in denial.

"Prepare our dinner"

"But, it still early for dinner." Iseul replied, and she didn't realize it. Again, she received a stronger whip.

"Don't teach me. Go! Now!" Iseul walked slowly to the kitchen and started to cook. She cleaned her new wound after that. She hissed when the water touched her skin.

She walked; limped to her room and put some ointment on it.

"How can I walk normally to school this Monday?"

Monday,

Iseul woke up early; she needed to treat her wounds and hide it. She prepared the breakfast and left them on the table. She just wanted to finish her school in silence where no one notice her existence.

One by one, her classmates entered the class. But for sure, they always threw a disgusting to Iseul; especially Kang Areum and her clique.  Then, the man of the day entered the class. Jeon Jungkook; his eyes averted to Iseul and he smiled but she ignored. She was scared; the gaze went to her because of that simple gesture.

Areum who saw that situation teared of Jungkook's eyes from Iseul.

"Oppa, you look so handsome today." Jungkook just ignored it and went to his sit; next to Iseul.

After a few lessons, the bell rung. Iseul walked out from the class and went to her usual. But she was stopped; again, by Areum.

"Hey, loser. Where are you going? How dare you flirt with Jungkook!?"

Iseul just kept her head down.

"I'm not. Please, just let me go." Iseul begged.

"Before we let you go, meet us at the rooftop after the lesson finish. And stay away from Jungkook."

She nodded and walked past the cafeteria. She saw unfamiliar faces eating with Jungkook; wearing teacher's outfit. Do the school need a substitute teacher that much?

Before she passed the cafeteria, a teacher called her.

"Iseul, come and eat with us." Jimin called for her.

Iseul just shook her head and mouthed a little sorry before walked away.

Why did she look at us like ghost? – Jungkook.

Taehyung just laughed out loud as Jimin's offer was rejected by Iseul. However, Yoongi just still silent and kept marking his student assignment. Jungkook shook his head and he will try to find out soon.

Rooftop,

Iseul peacefully eating her food. A loud bang from the door was heard; it was Areum and she was not alone.

"How did you do it?" Areum asked.

"What have I done?" Iseul replied and she received a slapped instead.

"You are such a flirty bitch! How can our senior know you?"
"I don't know. I barely know them."

"I think we need to faster up our meeting. We will talk now." Iseul didn't replied. She knew she was doomed at that time.

One of Areum gang; Jenny dragged Iseul and pinned her to the wall with another girl. Areum grabbed her hair and pushed her head to the wall. Iseul winced. Her wounds didn't have time to recover yet she got another one.

A few punched were threw to her. Until she was like a dead meat.

"You will be dead if you stay near Jungkook and his hyungs." A last warning from Areum.

Jungkook

He finished his food and packed up,

"Hyung, I'll go first."

"Where? You have my class after this and your last period; you with Yoongi-hyung. Lets' go together."

"He wants to go to his beauty." Yoongi interrupted.

"Okay, you are off then, make your move maknae." Jimin teased him. All the table laughed with their maknae's love life.

He walked to the stairs that linked to the rooftop; the door was opened. Areum and her girls walked out from that door. And that time; something was wrong and Iseul was there.

Iseul saw a glimpse of boy; she barely can open her eyes. Jungkook ran to her.

"Han Iseul! What happened? Shit. Don't sleep. Wake up." Jungkook carried Iseul bride-way to the nurse room.

All of his hyungs looked at him as they watch the incident. He mouthed 'will tell you later' to his hyungs.

Jungkook put Iseul down on the bed and called a nurse in duty. The nurse; Mrs. Ho treated Iseul. Her eyes widen when she saw the wounds at Iseul's calves.

"I think you need to talk to her about her injuries" Mrs. Ho asked Jungkook to do so after Iseul woke up. Jungkook just nodded. He didn't need to ask as he knew the answer already.

After a few times passed by, Iseul woke up from the slumber. Iseul saw Jungkook slept soundly at the edge of the bed. She tried to pull off her hand but failed as Jungkook held on it tightly. She shook Jungkook,

"Hey, I brought you here. Are you okay? Any other injuries?" Jungkook bombard his questions to Iseul. Iseul just shook her head.

"Jungkook, I need to go. I need to take my bag, see you tomorrow."

"No, need. I already have your bag. And I want you to be honest with me"

"Jungkook, can you just let this slide? I really need to go." Iseul stood up and walked out from the nurse room.

"Iseul, why did Areum and your grandmother torture you like this?"

"Jungkook, I don't know. You just can ask Areum about this. Even I do not know the reason why they hate me and my gut."

"But, they are your family."

"Look, Jungkook I need to go home or my injuries and wounds will be more than you see today."

"But, why?" Iseul shook her head and walked away. Iseul looked at the watch on her wrist. She was really doomed.
