"I'm not going to hurt you..."

She could smell the alcohol lingering in his breath, making her scrunch up her nose

Hearing those words had made her tense up, she took in sharp breaths, trying to calm herself down

Still not fully believing the guy's statement though, because it was possible that he didn't even know what he was saying because of the alcohol

"If I remove my hand... do you promise not to scream and run out?"

His words were slurred

Hesitantly, Nari slowly nodded

"Okay..."

He slowly loosened his grip around her inch by inch, gently removing his arms

When there was finally nothing holding her down anymore, she cautiously stood up from the bed and headed for the door, not daring to look behind her

She was planning to just go get her things then go back, she didn't care if Taehyung and Sunhee were going to flood her phone with calls and texts asking where the heck she went, she just wanted to leave this place

Fuck, fuck just run!

When she finally had the grip of the door knob, before she could turn it his voice sounded around the room

"Don't go...please"

The words weren't as unclear anymore, she could recognize the voice

Curiosity getting the best of her, she turned around to see who this person was

And then that was when she saw him

With his head resting against the headboard with his eyes closed and his legs sprawled over the bed

His once white shirt was now stained, the now empty bottles of wine were on the foot of the bed

"Jungkook?"

Nari called out

The said man opened his eyes focusing them on her, shamelessly staring at her

He kept on mumbling incoherent words at her while trying to keep his eyes open

Don't go his eyes were saying

"What?"

"I said don't go"

He said it again, now clear enough for Nari to hear

And then that was when he broke loose

He started...

Crying?

The Jeon Jungkook was crying in front of her...

Crying as if he was mourning, crying as if he was hurting

"Please don't leave me..."

Heart wrenching sobs were coming out of his mouth

"Please stay with me"

She didn't know if it was the alcohol in her system but right at that moment Nari dropped everything

She dropped everything

Her pride

Her hate for him

Her thoughts of always needing to win

She forgot everything immediately

After seeing him in that situation all she could think about was that he needed her and she needed to be there for him

Like it was an instinct, she sat herself down beside him on the bed and hugged him

He rested his head at the crook of her neck and slid his arms around her waist

"Shhh"

"It's okay..."

An unfamiliar warm feeling started from his chest then spread to all over his body

He continued sobbing, his tears falling on her blouse making it wet

Nari wasn't showing any signs of leaving any sooner, and Jungkook felt somewhat relieved

He just stayed there, pouring out everything he's kept to himself over the years

As the hours passed by and the night continued to consume them, Jungkook started to feel exhaustion starting to takeover him

His eyes slowly closing until he passed out

He was never a heavy sleeper, so despite him having lost his consciousness he still felt the way her arms tightened protectively around him

Her arms
