'that woman really is nice. she reminds me of the woman that took care of me when i was in the orphanage.'

jungkook started to talk a little bit more after we left and it indicated to me that he felt more comfortable if the two of us were together, if i didn't leave him alone. he was scared of being alone with his thoughts and i knew that. i was scared for him and for the things that could happen if i left him.

'she really is someone i really enjoy being with despite meeting her a month ago.'

'has it really been a month since you've been there?'

jungkook asked curiously, and honestly i thought about it too. no one from my family ever came to check up on me. didn't expect them to, but still...

'it has. scary.' i shivered at the thought of that. 'but at the same time, if i were with my family i wouldn't be with you right now. trust me. i'm glad i am kinda free from that pervert.'

it was silent again. until jungkook spoke up, putting me in thought with his question,

'why didn't you ever tell the police?'

we sat on a bench somewhere in a park next to the han river. the sounds of cars was enough to fill in the silence that i made by letting my thoughts control me. but his question was good. why didn't i ever do it?

'i... i never thought about it...'

jungkook looked at me. 'really?'

'yeah... i guess when you're in that kind of situation you get scared. i have no evidence that he ever did anything to me. nothing. the police would never believe me. i will be stuck with this probably until his ass dies or something.'

'but you have me. i saw you yesterday. i didn't see the whole thing but i saw him holding you in his arms without your will. maybe the police could believe me?'

i sighed. 'i have no idea jungkook... i'm scared. i really am. i just want him to stop pestering me, i want him to leave me alone.'

jungkook wrapped his arms around me tightly as my heart felt heavy. i wanted everything to die down without me having any consequences from him.

'as long as you have me, he can't do shit to you. you're a brave girl for even putting up with a jerk like that, i am here for you always. it doesn't matter how, but i am here.'

he said it in a way which made me more sad. his voice was out of tune and it just felt distant. i didn't know what was happening with him and it tore me apart that he was going through something that i couldn't help him with.

'i hope you know... that you have me too. we are here for each other. remember, the two of us against the world?'

i put up my pinky in the air and you just stared at me. 'what?'

'we have to do a pinky promise, that we are always going to be there for each other for the rest of our lives. okay?'

he giggled and i swear i could hear my heart beating so fast. 'okay baby'

i could feel my cheeks burn as i avoided to look at him, my pinky still in the air.

'ooh look at my little strawberry, she's blushing because i called her baby!'

'anyways...' i spoke up, completely ignoring what he just said. 'instead of doing those promises and what not let's just say the two of us against the world, what do you think?'

'okay.'

he put his finger and tied with mine as we stared at each other with smiles that were covering our faces. we both said the sentence together as we erupted into fits of giggles.
