"J- Jae?"

I froze.

I could here footsteps coming towards me due to the sound of dry leaves being crushed.

Soon enough shaking myself out of the frozen state I quickly wiped off my tears.

I felt someone beside me. That 'someone' bent down instantly and crouched beside me.

It was Jungkook.

"Wh- What's th- the matt- matter? W- why ar- are you c- crying?"

"I- It's nothing Jun- Jungkook"

"I- if it w- was not- nothing w- why w- would yo- you cr- cry?" he questioned.

I just sniffed not knowing what to say and buried my face in my palms letting out sad whimpers.

Instantly I felt large warm hands around me.

I looked up to see Jungkook hugging me.

I don't get hugs often, but when I do its like the best thing ever.

Not even thinking twice I leaned into his warmth, snuggling into him a little and letting out a final sob.

He didn't seem to mind. He gently caressed my hair until he was sure that I was okay.

His smell, his warmth, his closeness. They were all intoxicating.

I wanted to stay like that forever. I never wanted to let go.

It was weird but I wasn't in a state to think of all the questions running through my mind. Most of them asking the same thing.

Why does he have this effect on you?

"A- are yo- you fe- feeling be- better?" he asked after a while.

I timidly nodded.

Realising I fibally had to get out of his warm embrace, I sadly let go.

I wiped of the remaining tears and looked down.

"Wh- What hap- happened that y- you w- were cr- crying J- Jae?"

"It's just that I had a little argument with father....." I lied.

"O- Oh....I'm su- sure it'll be oka- okay. Als- Also...Yo- you su- suck at lyin- lying."

My eyes widened.

"Yea- Yeah...I c- can se- see i- it i- in your ey- eyes"

I looked away, feeling a pang of guilt in my heart.

"Car- care to t- tell me t- the tr- truth? Y- You kno- know, Mi- Miss Mi- Minji, th- the own- owner of o-our or- orph- orphanage wo- would al- always te- tell us t- that sha- sharing y- your pr- problems al- always m- make u- us feel be- better" he smiled.

I weakly smiled back.

Should I tell him?

No, what if he tells somebody? You'll be in trouble!

What? Why would he do that? He's been so good all along. The genuine niceness is always do clear!

Yes! Tell him! He's right!

But....I haven't talked about this to anyone but Lia and Jimin.

It seemed as if I was under his control. He was luring me into this world which made me feel safe....and wanted?
